Does anyone have experience interpreting data from this analysis.
GP has sent a 12 page report on patient who has presumably sent hair sample accompanied by dollars for analysis, and although it does make some recommendations, if you put them all together the diet is going to pretty bland and restrictive.
Only place I can find giving interpretation is the centre which performed the analysis, so possibly a little biased?
Whilst it may be true blood mineral levels do not accurately reflect tissue levels, to say someone has a calcium, copper and lead burden does appear strange. (Patient's clinical presentation is fatigue and small joint pain).
Any help advice gratefully received.
Thanks,
Gary Mascall
