What is Hair
Mineral Analysis?
Hair mineral
analysis is a highly sophisticated technical procedure performed
by a licensed clinical laboratory using the latest state-of -the-art
equipment.
Hair
mineral analysis provides an accurate screening device for determining
mineral imbalances, deficiencies, or any excess of the essential minerals.
In addition, and equally important, hair mineral analysis determines if
toxic metals, such as lead, aluminum, and cadmium have accumulated in the
body.
This is possible due to
the fact that hair is formed from clusters of matrix cells that make up
the follicles. During the growth phase, the hair is exposed to the
internal metabolic environment such as the circulating blood, lymph, and
extra-cellular fluids. As the hair continues to grow and reaches the
surface of the scalp, its outer layers harden, locking in the metabolic
products accumulated during this period of hair formation. This biological
process provides a blueprint of past and present nutritional metabolic
activity.
Why Test For
Minerals?
Minerals can
be considered more important than vitamins in that they cannot
be manufactured by the body. Minerals are the spark plugs in
the chemistry of life. Without optimum mineral levels in the
body, the other nutrients are not effectively utilized. Minerals
are also necessary in the production of hormones and for the
proper enzyme activity.
Hair analysis
can identify malabsorption problems caused by the digestive disorders
or lack of hydrochloric acid. For example, a disturbance in the
absorption of protein, even though calcium is plentiful, can
contribute to osteoporosis. This is because 97% of the bone matrix
is made up of protein.
How Does Hair
Mineral Analysis Compare With Blood Analysis?
Blood tests
can only measure levels occurring at the time of testing. The
levels fluctuate with the time of the day the blood sample is
drawn, any foods eaten prior to taking a sample, and even emotional
changes. The blood seeks to maintain its biochemical balance
even at the expense of organ and body structures. For example,
a blood test will indicate normal calcium levels, even when the
bones are demineralized.
The metabolic
dysfunctions that occur from mineral imbalances can be predicted
even before abnormalities are detected in the blood. The hair
is more indicative of long term and often short term exposure
and provides a more permanent history of a person's intake, environmental
exposure and other factors.
What Can I
Expect From My Hair Mineral Analysis?
You will received
a personalized, comprehensive report of your test results that
include:
- Mineral levels,
identifying those in high, low or normal ranges
- Methods to
correct and reduce toxic metal accumulation in your body.
- Explanation
of the results in an easy to follow format.
- Nutritional and
dietary program designed to rebalance your body chemistry.
-
Phone consultation after
the results are received.
I Am Interested,
What Should I Do Next?
A hair sample
is easily taken from the middle to lower back of the head, where
the most recent hair growth has occurred. Approximately one heaping
tablespoon of hair is needed to complete the testing. If hair
is short, thinning scissors can be used to collect the proper
amount. Simply place the scissors next to the scalp in the back
of the head, and cut enough for the sample.
Step 1. A hair
sample is easily taken from the middle to lower back of the head, at the
nape of the neck
where
the most recent hair growth has occurred.
Step 2.
Approximately one heaping tablespoon of hair is needed for testing.
Lay out a tablespoon and fill
it with
hair, and then add just a little more.
Step 3. Place
hair sample in a clean envelope or zip lock bag.
Step 4. Put hair
sample in a larger letter envelope along with a check in the amount of
$55.00 or $85.00 made out to
"Fern's
Nutrition" or include a credit card number for payment.
Step 5. On a
separate piece of paper write your:
Name
Address
Phone
number
Gender
Age
Occupation
Current
shampoo
Step 6. Mail the
hair sample and above information to:
