HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS |

WHY TEST YOUR HAIR FOR MINERALS? Don't blood tests already do that?
Yes blood tests give one an insight into blood mineral levels. But this is a snap shot in time of ones' EXTRACELLULAR mineral activity. Blood is vital for our survival, thus our bodies keep the levels within a very tight window and if something goes "wrong" the blood levels will straight away indicate this. Therefore blood test are vital for monitoring and dealing with ACUTE situations.
Hair mineral tests on the other hand look at INTERCELLULAR mineral levels and this reading displays ones' levels for over the course of the PAST THREE MONTHS.
The body will rob from Joe to pay Jack if it needs to to keep things running within the tight window in the blood stream. Equally it will also dump excess minerals to keep the body out of harms way, e.g. Calcium. If blood Calcium levels rise too much, this causes excessive heart contractions which is dangerous for health therefore the body will dump the excess into cells to keep this from happening.

So what do these INTERCELLULAR mineral readouts tell us about our health?
Minerals are the spark plugs for our body, we cannot function without them. Hair test readings can display individual mineral levels in the cells as well as what there ratios are to each other. Minerals do not work in isolation in our body, therefore different ratios can give us a good insight into how some of our vital organ systems that are dependant on certain minerals may be functioning, this in turn can give early tell tale signs of where there maybe more support needed in our body to help us reach optimal functioning thus health.
Don't Blood test already give indications of how our organs are functioning?
Yes Blood tests will show when there is a disease that has set in or is "looking to" set in an organ/organ system etc., indicating the requirement of MEDICAL INTERVENTION. However, hair tests look at ones' ability for optimal functioning, these are not two of the same things. Ones' mineral relationships can indicate where the body may be heading towards if no changes in diet and lifestyle are made. It is like assessing how good a building project can be based on the raw materials one has to build with. This is not troubleshooting when problems arise, but rather fore-sighting, planning and accommodating/compensating for any perceivable shortcomings.
This is NOT MEDICAL INTERVENTION FOR DISEASE CONTROL. This is lifestyle and nutritional adjustment for optimal functioning.
