Hello friends!

As I mentioned recently, I've been looking at hair analysis companies for years, but have not been impressed enough to recommend any...until now.

Let's take a look at why I feel a thorough hair analysis is so important for your health.  

I recently came across a company that impressed me enough to at least try them out. And, after sending in my hair (I had to let it grow out for 3 weeks to get enough for a sample!), the results are in! One word comes to mind after experiencing their professionalism, speed, thoroughness and reporting; "Wow"!

 

I was absolutely astounded by the detail of the report I received and their dietary recommendations. Before talking more about this service, I'd like to briefly discuss why I think THIS hair analysis is so vital, more so than nearly any other company out there, and why it appears to be a more accurate assessment of minerals and heavy metals in the body than blood testing. 

Hair analysis...What can it reveal?

 

Because your hair originates directly from follicular cells, it is a direct reflection of the mineral content of the body's tissues. Therefore it better indicates mineral deficiencies, excesses, or bio-unavailability (the inability of minerals to reach their target tissues).

 

Minerals are involved in nearly every enzyme reaction in the body. Mineral imbalances frequently lead to metabolic dysfunctions before any symptoms begin.  

 

The list of conditions associated with mineral imbalances is quite lengthy, but here are some brief examples to show you how important the quantity and ratio of body minerals are (the actual list is much longer):

  • Allergies
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Digestive disorders
  • Prostate problems
  • Thyroid issues
  • Adrenal imbalances
  • Energy
  • Weight problems
  • Musculo-Skeletal Disorders
  • Depression
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Hyperactivity
  • Headaches
  • Blood Pressure
  • Anemia
  • Diabetes
  • Fatigue
  • Heart problems
  • Skin Rashes
  • Emotional issues

Who needs a hair analysis?

 

Just about everyone in my opinion. Especially those whose energy is not where it should be or someone who is ill and no definitive explanation can be found. Even if you're not experiencing any symptoms now, a mineral deficiency or imbalance can result in health problems later. NOW is the time to discover any deficiencies and begin to correct them.

 

Most people think that if they simply eat well they'll be fine. The problem is that our foods (even organic) are so depleted of life-giving minerals, that it's nearly impossible to get what you need from diet alone. That's why it is vital to get supplemental minerals and not just any minerals.  

 

For years I've been talking about how important carbon-bonded (organic) trace minerals are for health. And that's one of the many reasons I've been taking about adding intraMIN to your daily supplementation. Our intraMIN  formula contains the purest and most complete array of organic minerals you'll ever find in a supplement with absolutely no synthetic or non-organic ingredients at all. The addition of 1 or 2 ounces per day of these life-giving minerals can make all the difference in the world between simply existing and healthy living. And please remember that if a liquid supplement does not contain fulvic acid, you'll only absorb a small fraction of the mineral content.   

 

 

Heavy Metal Toxicity

 

Not only does this particular hair test screen for mineral amounts and ratios, but it also tests for several heavy metals such as Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, and Aluminum.

   

You can order this hair analysis directly from me or on my websites. I would then send out a kit to you with instructions on how to collect and send in your hair sample. Then within 7-10 days, here's what you'll get:  

 

A complete hair analysis using state-of-the-art ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry). It is used due to its superior detection capabilities, particularly for the rare-earth elements. ICP-MS has many advantages over other elemental analysis techniques.   

 

After your hair is tested, you will receive:  

  • a 25 page Comprehensive Tissue Mineral Analysis and recommendations. It will include the quantity of existing cellular mineral levels of Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Chromium, Selenium, and Phosphorus. But more importantly, it details the significant mineral ratios, something that one almost never hears about. The proper rations of minerals can make the difference between optimal health and disease.
  • a 28 page Dietary Profile and Eating Plan for Optimal Health.
  • a detailed description of your metabolic pattern. This is a combination of mineral levels and/or mineral ratios that reveal how the body is responding to stress (every kind of stress). Metabolic patterns are the most important factors to consider when interpreting a hair tissue mineral analysis, followed by mineral ratios and mineral levels. 
  • your Oxidation Rate: this refers to the burning of foods in the body; how the body converts the foods you eat to energy. There are three types: slow, fast and mixed oxidation. Both slow and fast oxidizers can have very low levels of energy even if it "appears" one has a lot of energy. Deep down inside many are prematurely aging because they are so out of balance and their mineral reserves are being depleted through various stressors. This is the main complaint I hear from nearly everyone - they are tired! In fact the most common stage of stress among adults today is labeled as the "Exhaustion Stage" of stress; the stage where the body no longer has the necessary energy reserves to resist or contain the stress. Sound familiar? This in turn results if various health ailments. If we don't have the internal energy we should have, diseases result.
  • you'll also receive an analysis on your adrenal and thyroid function relating to energy outputs.  
  • and much more.  

The hair analysis kit is available on both my eBay store and my website or you can contact me directly.  

 

I am very excited about the opportunity to offer you this very comprehensive hair analysis from Analytical Research Labs.  

 

The suggested retail price of the test is $135.00 and many health care providers are charging up to $300.00! But you can get it from me for only $120.00. Here are the two links to connect you to the order page:
