I'm finally getting a chance to post my son's hair analysis results. I have an
appt. to go over these results with our DAN doctor, but it's not until Dec. 7.
I was initially concerned with the sodium/potassium being so low, but after
talking with our pediatrician I'm not nearly as concerned (for the short term at
least). Any comments are welcome...

Questions:
Is it significant that sulphur is moderately high?
Is DMSA harmful to take if there's not a metal problem?
What's the significance of the high zinc?
How likely is a metal problem if a person "passes" the counting rules?

Thanks,

Andrea
