Hello Janice,

> Here's my 5 year old's hair test results. The words "low", "mid", and
"high" in front of the color represent where in that color the black bar
ends or begins.

>And am I correct in assuming that since he only had 4 essential elements
entirely in the white, that he is in fact mercury toxic? (As well as
highly toxic in arsenic, aluminum, antimony and titanium, since they are in
the yellow and red?)

No-- actually the whole GREEN area (and white) are the "normal" reference
range.
They make the "dead center" white. But the whole green area is normal.

Yes, the yellow and red for aresenic etc are toxic. Although merc toxicity
can
also result in retaining the other toxic garbage--- or that is my
understanding--
that the same pattern of "screwed up minerals" applies to both essential
elements and toxic ones.

> Any comments, and suggestions about what to do next, would be greatly
appreciated!!

My suggestion is to use the counting rules:

[Do I hear you saying you want ME to count? Or is that just my
imagination again?] [It is really not that difficult.]
