What Can Hair Analysis Reveal?
What is a Tissue Mineral Analysis?
Trace mineral analysis is a test which measures
the mineral content of your hair. Mineral content of the hair reflects
the mineral content of the body’s tissues. 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 normal, then your calcium level within
the body may be elevated. If this is the case, a strong tendency
exists for arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to calcium
plaques).
If your calcium level is low, then a tendency exists
toward osteoporosis (demineralization of the bone), increased tendency
to bone fractures, dental caries, 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 “sparkplugs” of life.
They are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body.
Without enzyme activity life ceases to exist. A trace mineral analysis
is preventive as well as being useful as a screening tool.
Who Needs A Hair Analysis?
Anyone who is found ill and no explanation can
be found, or when the cause seems to be found but therapy is not
wholly effective. Hair analysis opens up a whole new vista for the
solving of your own particular problem by recognizing your biochemical
individuality.
Even if you are not experiencing a severe problem,
abnormal changes in body chemistry and nutrional deficiencies may
result in early subtle changes in the body such as:
- White
spots in fingernails - indicates a possible zinc deficiency.
- Longitudinal ridging in nails - indicates an iron deficiency.
- Brittle hair and nails - calcium and copper imbalance.
- Deep grooves across nails - calcium deficiency.
- Stretch marks - zinc deficiency.
- Lack of growth - possible toxic metal accumulation such
as lead, mercury, or cadimum.
- The above indicators are early signs of metabolic disturbances
and may lead to serious problems if left unchecked. |
Common Causes Of A Mineral Imbalance
- 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.
Hair analysis is and invaluable screening tool,
which allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be,
designed for each individual specific needs. Never before has there
been available a metabolic blueprint with such a degree of applicable
scientific accuracy.
