        <title>Richard and all, my results are in.</title>
        <description> Richard,

     The long awaited results of my mineral test are in.  Some interesting things though.  I had three things that were out of range.

     Bismuth was a just a slight high, but I can account for that as a drank about two bottles of pepto in the months prior to the hair sample.

     Cadmium was a little high as well.

     And the shocker: Calcium was over the tolerance range.

     Now here is what I don&amp;#039;t get, I do know that Calcium, magnesium and zinc can show high in a hair analysis when the body is looking for somwhere to place it when it is having a metabolic problem.  Sometimes a Calcium, as shown in the hair, excess is really a result of a Calcium deficiency.  And Cadmium is usually a very toxic calcium inhibiter so you would think the calcium levels would be lower. My magnesium numbers was right on the money even though I have been taking 900+mg for over 4 months.

     When I get home, I am going to email you the actual numbers, any thoughts on this?

      I actually have not taken calcium supplements for 6 months.  I do get some in my multi and am not a big dairy eater by any stretch, but I don&amp;#039;t doubt I am getting a sufficient amount of calcium from my diet.

      The test showed the copper zinc ratio ok and the copper was right in the middle, which is good, but I was taking copper supplements about a month before the sample.

          I just contacted Dr. Wilson about an analysis beyond what the GSML did for me, I found it not so imformative.  I sent you my panel results did you get them?<br />

It will be interesting to see your results.  Pls. email them to me, but I am once again going out of town, tomorrow, and won&#039;t return until next Tues. evening, so it might take a while to get back to you.  <br />
<br />
On my hair analysis, I showed no Cadmium, but my Bismuth, although in range, was almost to the yellow color.  Ref range &lt;0.06 result .049.<br />
<br />
I just rec&#039;d my serum test from the hospital done in Jan 03.  My Ca levels on 3 different tests, actually fell below ref range once, then were normal low, and again midrange.  My hair analysis showed just a tad low, but in range.<br />
Ref range 200-750ug/g  Result 267.<br />
<br />
I ordered the hospital copies to see my phosphorous levels, but it doesn&#039;t show on the paperwork, or I don&#039;t know how to read it.  I know my EP said I was to the low side, so I&#039;ll have to do some further investigating.<br />
<br />
My serum Mg. levels always fell within range but my packed erythrocytes test showed slightly over ref. range, but only by 0.5mg/dl.  My hair Mg. level showed  midrange.  Ref range 25-75ug/g result 51.<br />
<br />
Did you get your test from Dr. Wilson, and did they have a schedule for you to follow?<br />
