Re: Hair test opinion needed

Are you familiar with A. Cutler's "counting rules?" They are used to try to determine if a toxin, most likely, mercury if fouling up movement--transport"--of minerals in the body.

Your first test very nearly matches the rule--Rule 2-- where there are too many essential elements that are high or hi norm. An early version of the rules are in this discussion with a noted autism doctor.

You can learn about Cutler's theory here.

When a test matches a rule Cutler no longer trusted that the levels of toxins in hair accurately reflect body burden. When most of the essential elements are on the high side, I expect the toxins to be over represented in hair.

I assume you were doing some detox. The second test looks like a former Rule 2 test that is becoming more normal due to detox--natural or medicinal.

Some think methylation support is important to getting rid of antimony. Methylation is also important in the breakdown of some of the estrogens.

Some of the body's E2 estrogen is made from testosterone. The enzyme involved is aromatase. I think it is a liver phase I enzyme. "Fast Phase I" is sometimes associated with food and chemical sensitivities. Do you have any of that? It could include feeling anxious when exposed to certain odors.

Are you doing anything to lower your copper--taking plenty of zinc, Moly, etc? With your symptoms I would not be surprised if you are.
