Hair Testing: was: question about mood for those with low free T

[Guest guest]

I've been having hair analysis done every six months which gives

levels of about 20 critical vitamins and minerals, ratios and heavy

metals. The company I use is called *Trace Elements Inc* located in

TX. I dont have their phone number handy but you can google

up the website.

I think it was this newsgroup (maybe I'm wrong about the newsgroup)

where someone asked how do you tell if you are high metabolism or

low? The hair analysis can determine this. Also, the tests can tell

if you are hypo/hyper adrenal and thryroid among many other things.

All from hair!

In my expereince, I found that some of vitamin suppliments I was

taking were hurting me, not helping me. A good example is coral

calcium. It's promoted as an oxygen ehancer in the blood to give

more energy adn increase libido, etc. What they dont tell you about

the suppliment is; if your calcium is already ok, taking a calcium

suppliment will send your potassium ratio down to nothing. When I

did my first hair analysis, my potassium was nil and at the time I

had some problems like irregular heartbeat, slow metabolism

(previouly fast) and reduced energy. I stopped taking the coral

calcium and 6 months later my calcium levels wer back down to normal

and my potassium was back up to normal. I wouldn't have know about

this without the hair test!

We as ED sufferers are always grasping for anything that we thisnk

might help out of desperation. We tend to buy into any claim about

suppliments helping us. It was throgh the hair annalysis that I

learned suppliments aren't good for you if you're getting to much of

one thing. SO, to sum this up. I have to say, hair analysis was one

of the best things I've done for myself and one of the cheaper, too.

It's approx $65 dollars for the test and you get a 10 page report

explaining everything in lamens terms. In my opinion, everyone in

this forum could benefit from hair analysis.

Oh yeah, one more thing the hair analysis showed me was I have high

cadmium and tungsten levels. I spent 18 years in the HVAC business

and was around a lot of welding/brazing. I'm amazed that the fumes

could accumulate in my system then be picked up through a hair

sample years later!

I may have missed it, but where would I go for hair analysis testing. I live in

Denver and I would like to pursue this but I have no idea where to begin.

Thanks.
