WHAT IS A HAIR ANALYSIS?

Hair analysis is a test which measures the vitamin and mineral contents of hair, feathers or scales. Thel content of these reflects the Vitamin and mineral content of the body's tissues. If a vitamin or mineral deficiency or excess exists in these, it usually indicates a vitamin or mineral deficiency or excess within the body, or unavailability of those vitamins or minerals even though present..

Examples:
If the hair /feather/scales reveals a high calcium level two or three times normal, then your calcium level within the body may be elevated also. If this so, these symptoms point to arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to calcium plaques), and an impairment of the Thymus and Parathyroid, or even a tumor in one of those organs..

If calcium is low, then a tendency exists toward osteoporosis, increased to bone fractures, dental disease, periodontal disease, muscle cramps, etc. Imbalances, as revealed by hair analysis always lead to metabolic dysfunctions before any symptoms show.

SOME CONDITIONS WHICH MAY RESULT FROM AN IMBALANCE ARE:

Depression
Hypoglycemia
Hyperactivity
Prostate problems
Digestive problems
Headaches
Hyperactivity
Hypertension
Arthritis
Rashes, Eczema
Mental instability
Hair Loss
Anemia
Thyroid Disease
Allergies
Muscle disorders, Fibromyalgia
Heart Disease
Diabetes

WHY TEST THE HAIR?

Natural Chemicals and their body’s trace minerals are the "building blocks" of life. They are involved in all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity, The body cannot live. A Hair analysis is useful as a preventive as well as being an excellent window to “see into the body’s workings”.

WHY A HAIR CHEMICAL ANALYSIS?

If you or your pet is found ill and no explanation can be found, or when the cause seems to be found but the therapy is not wholly effective. Hair analysis opens up a whole new window for the solving of your own or your pet’s particular problem by allowing me to recognize your imbalances and the ability for me to balance them.

Even if your pet is not experiencing a severe problem, abnormal changes in body chemistry and nutritional deficiencies may result in early, subtle changes in the body such as:

White spots in nails or hooves- indicates a possible zinc deficiency.
Longitudinal ridging in nails or hooves- indicates an iron deficiency.
Brittle hair and nails or hooves- calcium and copper imbalance.
Deep grooves across nails or hooves - calcium deficiency.
Lack of growth - zinc deficiency.
Mood swings - possible toxic metal accumulation such as lead, mercury, or cadmium.
Low milk production in Dairy Animals
Small, underdeveloped udders in dairy or other mammals
Uneven gait, fertility problems.

The above symptoms are early signs of an imbalance of vitamins and minerals, and may lead to serious problems if left unchecked.

CAUSES OF A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE:

Improper food intake - such as refined carbohydrates and sugars, strict vegetarian diets or other fad type diets.
The taking of vitamins and minerals which are not needed, or even overdosing with them.
Physician prescribed or OTC medications
Stress
Toxic metals from Silver amalgam fillings, pollution, your job or a hobby.
Inherited mineral deficiencies from family.

Hair analysis is a wonderful window into your body’s inner workings. An extremely valuable tool which allows me to correct your diet with the proper diet and supplements for each client's specific imbalances. There has never been such a window available that can give me information on your imbalances with scientific accuracy, than this.
