Mercury Hair Testing

Submitted by Anonymous

 Many practitioners, including myself, do NOT recommend hair testing. Mercury in the hair is NOT a good indicator of mercury in the body. In fact, exactly the opposite is true. 

 

We are all exposed to some degree of Mercury and how much we have in our body is what is important is how much we are storing in our body.

 

Mercury in our hair may actually only tell you how good you are at getting RID of Mercury. 

 

For instance, if you have HIGH levels of Mercury in your hair, it may be that you had some high exposure, but were able to get rid of it effectively.

 

Often the people with the MOST mercury have NONE in their hair because they are unable to get rid of it effectively because their detoxification pathways are damaged.

 OR they just haven't had any exposure to mercury!

 

How do you know.

 

And blood testing is not effective unless you are VERY toxic because free mercury does not 'stick around' in your blood, it goes very quickly into the tissues.

 

The 'gold standard' is urinary testing with a chelation agent to drive out the mercury into your urine. Called a 'provocation' test, it is the better choice to test for mercury in the body. 

 

I can help you to get  a mercury provocation test ithat is sent directly to your home in the mail f you contact me through my website.

I read that one lab was giving misleading results.  They were comparing the amount of metals in a patient given a provocation test to a "normal" patient who was not give the provocation agent.  Of course the levels were higher than normal.  All I'm saying is, be sure about what you're reading, including the claim I just described.

I hope you realize that having a positive mercury test does not mean that the mercury is what makes you ill. I have seen a lot of people in my work who tested positive, who did everything to get rid of it, removed all the amalgam fillings from there theeth, payed thousands of euro's and still felt sick, even after a few years of waiting and mercury detoxification.

Maybe it is the mercury what makes you sick, but don't rule out other possibilities.
