ACC Counting Rules

The counting rules, first established by Andy Cutler, Ph.D, apply to the Doctor’s Data and Great Plains Hair test. The counting rules assessment is a way to determine the probability of metal toxicity, including mercury by assessing the mineral section of this profile. Heavy metals are known to create imbalances in mineral metabolism, and if a counting rule is determined to be positive than according to Dr. Cutler mercury toxicity (and likely other metals too) is present.
