Andy/Moria -- what's going on with this hair test?

[Guest guest]

The background: n (age 7) has done 73 rounds of ALA or ALA+DMSA,

with such great improvements he's lost his dx although is not

completely recovered. This is his fourth hair test. The first was

suspicious, the second, after 23 rounds, was " unusual " for 3 rules and

had 4 toxic elements in the red and 2 in the yellow. Below are the

third and fourth tests, taken a year apart.

Why would the third test, after 40-some rounds, look normalized, and

the fourth, after 72 rounds, meet the counting rules? Does that mean

further exposure? I'm continuing to chelate because he still usually

seems better during a round, but his main problem now is recurring

viral trouble. Is the hair test at all affected by viruses? I guess my

main question is, wouldn't you expect that after 2.5 years of

chelation and supps, and the dx dropped, that the hair test would have

normalized?
