Hair Analysis The Path to Natural Health

Tony Koufos ND, CR, CI - Hair Analysis

Hair analysis is "the new kid on the block" in natural health studies. It is a product of modern science, dependent on ever-growing studies of human health.

In today's toxic world, where we are subjected to an unclean environment, toxic metals have become a serious problem, contributing to many metabolic disorders and symptoms.

Our hair is a reflection of all the minerals and chemicals in our bodies. Hair analysis is a very accurate way to find out the concentrations of non-toxic and toxic minerals in the internal organs. Not only is it accurate, but it is painless and very simple to do.

What is a Tissue Mineral Analysis?

Trace mineral analysis is a test which measures the mineral content of your hair. Mineral content of the hair reflects the mineral content of the body's tissues If a mineral dificiency or excess exists in the hair, it usually indicates a mineral dificiency or excess within th body, biounavailability.

Various mineral imbalances, as revealed by hair analysis frequently lead to metabolic dysfunctions before any symptoms become manifest.

Chemical mineral imbalances can be caused by:

improper diet
stress
taking the wrong vitamins over a long period of time
medications
heredity

Luckily, balance can be re-gained with mineral supplements and nutrition.

Other conditions which may result or be aggravated by a mineral imbalance are:

Depression
Hypoglycemia
Hyperactivity
Hair Loss
Anemia
Thyroid Disturbance

Prostate Disorders
Digestive Disturbance
Diabetes
Headaches
Hypertension
Arthritis

Musculo-Skeletal Disorders
Cardiovascular Disease
Skin Rashes
Emotional Problems
Allergies

Why Test for Minerals?

Minerals are the "sparkplugs" of life. They are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity, life ceases to exist. A trace mineral analysis is preventive as well as being useful as a screening tool.Hair analysis is an invaluable screening tool which allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual's specific needs. Never before has there been available a metabolic blueprint with such a degree of applicable scientific accuracy.

Who Should Test for Minerals?

Everyone and especially those who are found ill and no explanation can be found, or when the cause seems to be found but the therapy is not wholly effective. This screening tool opens new vistas of possibilities for unexplained illness through understanding your own biochemical individually.

Even if you are not experiencing a severe problem, any abnormal changes in your body chemistry, unexplained aches and pains, and in today's fast food revolution, nutritional deficiencies can result in early and very subtle changes in the body.

What to Expect ...

Hair analysis is no more painful than a haircut, but please schedule your analysis before your next haircut appointment! Though I'm very careful to cut from an underneath layer of your hair, a few ounces of hair need to be submitted to the lab.
Any kind of hair is suitable for analysis – labs today can counter-effect the effects of hair coloring and perms.

Several weeks after sending your hair to the lab, you will receive two personalized notebooks. One describes your basic body type and offers a nutritional diet that will work effectively for you. The other details your individual balances and imbalances, comparing your ratios with optimal ratios and offering specific vitamin and mineral supplements based on your individual tissue analysis.
