scientific accuracy. |
Hair Analysis Facts

You Know?

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 your body may be
elevated also. 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
bone), increased tendency to bone fractures,
dental caries, periodontal disease, muscles
cramps, etc.
Various mineral imbalances, as revealed by hair
analysis frequently lead to metabolic
dysfunctions before any symptoms become
manifest. |
Other
conditions which may result or be aggravated by
a mineral imbalance are:
- Depression
- Hypoglycemia
- Hyperactivity
- Headaches
- Hypertension
- Arthritis
- Hair Loss
- Anemia
- Thyroid
Disturbance
- Prostrate

- Digestive

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 Hair Analysis?
Anyone
who is found ill an no explanation can be found, or
when the cause seems to be found but the 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 nutritional
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
- zinc deficiency.
- Mood Swings -
possible toxic metal accumulation such as
lead, mercury, or cadmium. 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.
