I hope that professional who interpreted your test results knew what he was
doing.  A high concentration of a mineral in your hair doesn't automatically
imply that you are getting too much of that mineral; it may be that your
body is unable to metabolize it correctly, and so it ends up in your hair,
among other places.  For example, there was a woman who had an abnormally
high level of calcium in her hair, yet she was suffering from osteoporosis.
I think that the interpretation of the test results for heavy metals is
fairly straightforward, however; a high mercury reading *does* imply
toxicity.
