Hair Analysis

An initial hair test, which should be repeated in six months to one year, can serve as a guide to supplementation of necessary minerals. The possibility of toxic levels of lead, mercury, cadmium or arsenic are also determined by the hair analysis.

Knowing how to define the mineral element status of the patient, knowing the clinical signs of deficiencies, imbalances or toxicities and defining them is a major part of clinical nutrition. Numerous studies have demonstrated the usefulness of hair as a recording medium of intake and retention of mineral elements. Both essential and toxic elements have been clinically monitored using this method and have clearly indicated reliable correlations between hair element values and clinical manifestations of mineral excesses and deficiencies.
