What you can expect from your hair analysis test report
The Hair Mineral Analysis report checks for the presence of nutrient minerals, other additional minerals, and toxic metals that can be found in the human body. also providing data on significant ratios of minerals present. The report will discuss your metabolic profile and provide dietary suggestions. Toxic metals can build up in your system due to exposure in the environment and can be found in some pharmaceutical drugs
Nutrient analysis test
Your Hair Mineral Analysis will show levels of nutrient minerals found in the analysis. they are considered essential for many biological functions and play key roles in metabolic functions, such as -
- Muscular activity
- Endocrine function
- Reproduction
- Skeletal integrity
The nutrient minerals checked in hair analysis test include
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Zinc
- Phosphorous
- Iron
- Manganese
- Chromium
- Selenium
- Boron
- Cobalt
- Molybdenum
- Sulphur
The hair analysis test also includes checks for additional Minerals
the hair analysis test test also checks for additional minerals present which are considered essential for the human body. Further studies are being conducted to further define their biological and nutritional roles.
Other additional minerals checked for in the hair analysis test
- Germanium
- Barium
- Bismuth
- Rubidium
- Lithium
- Nickel
- Platinum
- Thallium
- Iodine
- Vanadium
- Strontium
- Tin
- Titanium
- Tungsten
- Zirconium
Toxic Metals
Toxic metals are commonly found in the environment and are therefore present in all biological systems. ideally these levels should be as low as possible. Every person is exposed to toxic metals to some degree. The retention of these toxic metals, however, is dependent upon the body in relation to the heavy metals can frequently be the determining factor to this susceptibility. As an example, the accumulation of lead will have a more detrimental effect upon body chemistry when sufficient levels of calcium and iron are not available. By examining the toxic metal levels in relation to the protective minerals , the extent to which the heavy metals may be involved in abnormal; chemistry can frequently be seen.
- Antimony
- Uranium
- Arsenic
- Beryllium
- Mercury
- Cadmium
- Lead
- Aluminum
Below is an explanation of all the sections that will be discussed in the report and what your analysis is from your hair sample
Metabolic type
This section of the report will discuss the metabolic profile which is based on research conducted by Dr D L Watts.
Each classification is established by evaluating the tissue mineral results and determining the degree to which the minerals may be associated with a stimulating and /or inhibiting effect up to the main “energy producing “endocrine glands. These glands regulate nutrient absorption, excretion, metabolic utilization, and incorporation into the tissues of the body: the skin, organs, bone, hair and nails. How efficiently each nutrient is utilized depends largely upon proper functioning of the endocrine glands.
Slow metabolism
Parasympathetic Dominant
Tendency Toward Decreased Thyroid Function (reduced secretion of hormones)
Tendency Toward Decreased Adrenal Function (reduced secretion of hormones)
The mineral pattern reflected in these test results in indicative of a slow metabolic pattern. This particular profile can be related to a number of contributing factors such as;
Diet – Dietary factors such as low protein intake , high carbohydrate intake and eating refined carbohydrates, especially those containing appreciable amounts of sugar have an indirect yet significant effect in suppressing the metabolic rate.
Endocrine Function- Low thyroid activity as well as low adrenal grand function will contribute to lowering the metabolic rate.
Digestion – Poor absorption and utilization of nutrients found in the foods that are consumed will result in decreased energy production on a cellular level, thereby, affecting metabolism, in turn a lowered metabolic rate will have an adverse effect upon the digestion process, thereby creating a vicious cycle.
Viral infections- A past occurrence of a severe or chronic viral infection can contribute to a decrease in the metabolic rate, due to the body’s neuro-immunological response to infection
After a prolonged period of time a diminished metabolic rate such as indicated in these test results has be correlated with fatigue cold hand and feet easy weight gain and craving for sweets .
It should be noted that even though this patient may not be overweight at this time she can still have a lowered metabolic rate, as overweight and underweight tendencies may not always be a reflective of metabolism on the cellular level.
There are several more sections, ie - Nutrient Mineral Level / Nutrient Mineral Ratios.
The report will then go on to your Food Allergies – telling you what they are what to avoid in foods and what foods they recommend that you have more of.
There will then be a conclusion
This report can provide a unique insight into your nutritional biochemistry. The recommendations contained within are specifically designed according you your metabolic type, mineral status age and sex. Additional recommendations may be based upon other supporting clinical data.
Objective of program
The purpose of this program is to re-establish a normal balance of body chemistry through individually designed dietary and supplement suggestions. Properly followed this may then enhance the ability of the body to more efficiently utilize the nutrients that are consumed. Resulting in improved energy and production and health.
What to expect during the program
The mobilization and elimination of certain metals may cause temporary discomfort. As an example if and excess accumulation of iron or lead is contributing to arthritis a temporary flare-up of the condition may occur from time to time. This discomfort can be expected until removal of excess metal is complete.
The Doctor may recommend supplementary minerals as well as a good balanced diet. All supplementary mineral can be purchased from us as well.
Hair analysis is the process to assess the body's mineral and toxin levels. Hair analysis can detect even the smallest amounts of toxins present. Based on the analysis, nutritional and therapeutic measures can be recommended to correct the imbalances and aid the removal of toxins from the body.
The structure of the hair is a shaft that is made up of lifeless protein material arranged around a central core. This outer protein layer is then sheathed in delicate cuticle cells, which are arranged like shingles or tiles. The cuticle is in turn covered by a layer of protein substances and fatty substances that will protect the hair. Hair grows about half an inch a month and some one-hundred new hairs are added daily.
The hair root is anchored with each shaft of hair to the scalp. The root is nourished by a network of delicate blood vessels, which deliver vitamins, minerals and trace elements to the outer layers of the hair shaft. These same vessels also deposit toxins and/or traces of drugs in the hair, any toxins or drugs present in the body then show up during hair analysis. Hair analysis is the most widely recognized procedure to test for drugs in the body's system. Please note that re-evaluation should be obtained after 6 months or more to allow the necessary changes to take effect.
