I had two tests done from independent labs. The results of both were very
similar:

% variance from target values:
Zinc -20%
Copper -60%
Iron -80%
Manganese -96%
Cobalt -81%

What could this mean? The only medical condition I know about is autoimmune
thyroiditis.

Thanks

How about "absolutely nothing"? Hair analysis is pure, unadulterated
bullshit. You're being taken. *Run*, do not walk, to a responsible
practitioner who will not attempt to snow you with pseudoscience.

What is also perfectly disgusting is that parents of kids with autism are
told their kids have some "heavy metal poisoning" found through the hair
analysis. Then are sold a nasty horrible "oral chelation".

Ugh.

It means your hair is deficient in zinc, copper, iron, manganese, and
cobalt. Quick! Get a shampoo fortified with these minerals without
delay! (Caution: Your hair may turn green.)
