Our hair is a reflection of all the minerals and chemicals in our bodies.  Hair analysis is a very accurate way to find out the concentrations of non-toxic and toxic minerals in the internal organs.  Not only is it accurate, but it is painless and very simple to do.

        To do this procedure an associate will cut a small amount of hair off your head at the nape of your neck.  The hair here has usually been effected least by the chemicals of bleaching, perming or the sun.  But the most accurate spot to get hair for a hair analysis is the pubic area, if your hair has been recently colored or bleached the testing kit will be supplied to you with instructions for you to test at home using pubic hair.

        In 1985 a Federal District Court tried a case to determine the accuracy and reliability of hair analysis.  The judge deemed that hair analysis was a useful guide in the hands of a health care professional when used along with other relevant information during treatment where a chemical imbalance is suspected.

        When doing medical testing hair analysis shows the intracellular concentration of chemicals in the body.  In other words the long term concentration of chemicals in the cells.  Urine and blood serum tests of chemicals only show current and often inaccurate levels of chemicals.  As a matter of fact, only the drugs and chemicals of 2-3 days prior will show up in blood and urine testing.  A hair analysis can be done and a computerized report can analyze the different elements in the hair.  This can be saved and after some treatment the hair can be re-analyzed again to see if there has been any changes. 

        Hair analysis can be done to determine the toxic levels of lead, fluoride, arsenic, aluminum and cadmium in children and adults.  Excess aluminum has been found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.  If a hair analysis shows excess aluminum in your hair cells, finding ways to reduce it in your environment may stop Alzheimer’s.  Therapy, such as chelation therapy, can be done to a patient to rid the body of toxic metals.  Hair analysis can detect how far back and how much lead the patient was exposed to.  This can be a valuable tool in treatment of a young child exposed to lead.  Hair analysis allows early detection of toxicity, even before a person exhibits outward symptoms.  Hair analysis can also detect the amount of calcium, iron, magnesium and other minerals that are essential to our health.
