Hair Analysis
A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is a screening test that measures the mineral content of your hair. Mineral content of the hair reflects the mineral content of the body tissue. If a mineral deficiency or excess exists in the hair, it usually indicates a mineral deficiency or excess within the body, or bio-unavailability.
Examples
- If your hair reveals an elevated calcium level two or three times the normal, then you calcium level within the body may also be elevated. If this is the case then a strong tendency exits for arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to calcium plaque).
- If your calcium level is low, then a tendency exists towards osteoporosis (demineralization of the bone), increased tendency to bone fractures, dental cavities, periodontal disease, muscle cramps, etc
- Various mineral imbalances, as revealed by hair analysis frequently lead to metabolic dysfunctions before any symptoms become manifest.
Why Test For Minerals?
Minerals are the spark plugs of life. They are involves in almost all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity, life ceases to exist. A trace mineral analysis is preventative as well as been useful as a screening tool.
Common Causes of Mineral Imbalances
- Improper diet such as excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars, strict vegetarian diets or other exclusive diets
- Taking vitamins and minerals which are not compatible with your current body chemistry
- Medications
- Birth control pills
- Stress
- Accumulation of toxic metals from the environment, job or hobby
- Inheritance of mineral patterns from parents
The Science
Hair analysis is an invaluable screening tool which allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual specific need. Never before has there been available a metabolic blueprint with such a degree of applicable scientific accuracy.
