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.
