Help with interpreting Hair Test Results - Extremely high copper

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

We are new to the group and were planning on starting AC chelation in a couple

of weeks but we just got back our daughter's hair elements test and it has

extremely elevated copper...she is at 130 w/ ref range of 11-24. We also had a

hair test done on her when she was 1 year old and her copper appeared very

normal at that time (15 w/ ref range of 10-22).

We moved about 10 months ago, and I believe the high copper is a result of

acidic water going through our copper pipes, so she has been bathing and

showering in it daily, but does not drink the water. Does anyone know if the

high copper level could just be residue on her hair or if it truly is reflective

of her body burden as well. We have both of Andy's books and have read all the

info on copper, but I am just not sure how to proceed at this point.

Our daughter meets counting rules 1, 3, and 4, so we know she has mercury

toxicity as well. Any thoughts from all of the experienced hair test analysts

out there would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Please help. Her hair test is in the

Hair Tests folder and the file name is " Aspen Hair Elements Results 02_2010 " .

Many Thanks,

Misty
