What is the best way to test my Lithium levels?
I recently obtained my Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test results and found out that I am completely deficient in Lithium. I am going to supplement with a product called Agotene, to obtain a whole food source, but first I would like to know if this test results are accurate for measuring this particular mineral?
Thank you in advance:)

Dear Stewart Fanning ,
You made an interesting analysis. The number of scholars studying diet and geochemistry has increased over the years. It may be that everyone is concerned about the relationship between dietary health and geochemical behavior. I also wonder if I should do a research in this area. Such as the relationship between special plants and geochemistry, certain regional diseases and geochemical relations. Does the material composition in the hair represent the body's ingredients?
