What is Hair Mineral Analysis
Hair Mineral Analysis is the major tool used in determining the nutritional needs of an individual when it comes to Nutritional Balancing Science. The hair acts as a storage facility as well as a repository of organic and inorganic materials that are released into the blood stream. Minerals are constantly being moved in and out of cells as they are utilized in enzymatic actions, building blocks for proteins, oxidative processes, etc. As these are released into the blood stream, some get deposited in the hair which tells us a story of how the body systems are working. Forty plus years of research and study of these deposits, with over six hundred thousand hair tests, have given way to a broader understanding of the types of food an individual should be eating or not eating, and how different glandular activities are performing or not performing. By looking at the body as a complete system rather than trying to zero in on a particular condition or illness, allows us to build a dietary profile with food recommendations, as well as a more directed supplement plan to help balance and optimize the performance of the combined systems in the body.
Why do I need this?
You are an organic system made up of billions of cells working in harmony to survive and thrive through the stresses of life. Each cell is designed for a specific purpose and organized into different functioning groups, such as the liver, kidneys, skin, hormone production, etc. You can look at it as a small, bustling city complete with highways, sanitary and waste services, police and fire fighters as well as a central communications and electrical supply system. Each cell has its own energy supply necessary to keep it alive and functioning and each cell has specific nutritional needs in order to stay health and functioning. If energy production is disrupted in the cells, the systems those cells make up become weakened and, in some cases, disabled (kidney failure, diabetes, cancer, etc.). Nutritional balancing focuses on these cellular needs, understanding that healthy and responsive cells make for a healthy and responsive system. Our focus ...
