Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I had hair analysis done a year ago. It was very interesting and I think it helped me a lot. I would not do it with out a consultation though. Mine showed high Magnesium and Calcium levels and high Aluminum and Mercury levels. The nutritionist put me on a lot of supplements but started me slowly. And took me off of some I was on. Unfortunately she charged me every time I had a question, no matter how small and when I submitted it to my insurance she was not very helpful in trying to straghten that out. She is brillant and helped me a lot. So I need to decide if I am going back or not. My other minerals were non existant on the hair analysis. So the inbalance was very obvious and very scary. nne > > Has anyone had a hair tissue mineral analysis?

It was very helpful, along with thorough blood analysis, 24 hour urine test and glucose tolerance tests. My doctor was holistic and utilized these tests along with a thorough analysis of the foods eaten to come up with a nutritional program and supplements. The diet I recommend chelates out heavy metals if enough " good " fats are consumed in the right ratio to protein and carbs. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Emma, I had a hair analysis and it showed I was very low in mercury and calcium. Then, I had intracellular testing that showed I was medium to high in calcium and very high in mercury. My doctor said that people with low detox amino acids do not excrete toxins and therefore, it doesnt always show up on the hair test, interesting!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hi, Chuck. The bottom part of my quote contained information under the title of " PEER REVIEWED STUDIES THAT SUGGEST FURTHER USES FOR HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS IN MEDICINE " . I think that is part of what you had in mind. Another Wikipedia article on hair analysis states that hair analysis could be used for up to a year to look for some contaminants that would no longer appear in blood or urine. The use was for forensic and environmental toxicology purposes. I had no intent to cast doubt upon the value of such procedures; but rather upon the use for determination of nutritional deficiencies or medical diagnosis from samples sent mainly to companies who devote a large part of their efforts to selling supplements to those who receive the so-called analysis.

That's why I said I agreed with you. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
