1. Your Body’s Cells
The main site of your nutritional metabolism is at the cellular level. What you eat is not as important as what is reaching your body at the cellular level. A tissue mineral analysis provides an inexpensive screening of information that directly relates to your cellular activity.
2. Trends
Trends in your body’s health care toward a disease or disorder can be identified before they occur and to be able to take action before they surface. Twenty or more trends can be identified from a properly interpreted tissue mineral analysis. This can make a tissue mineral analysis an invaluable screening tool.
3. Rebuilding Your Body’s Energy Mechanism
Are you feeling tired all the time? Having an adequate energy level is necessary for your health. ALL body activities including healing depend on adequate energy synthesis. The tissue mineral analysis can assess the efficiency of the body’s energy systems. Two systems, the Glycolysis (A ten-step cycle involved in the breakdown of glucose into simpler compounds, mainly pyruvate or lactate. There are various minerals and vitamins required in the glyxolysis cycle. If there is a deficiency, the cycle may fail to go to completion and your energy output may decrease) and the Krebs or citric acid cycle, an intra-cellular cycle in which amino acids and fats are converted to energy. Eighty percent of ones energy is produced in the Krebs cycle) and to recommend nutrients and foods that are appropriate to assist in rebuilding the energy system.
4. Determining an Individuals Oxidation Type
Dr. George Watson discovered that in some people food will burn at a faster rate than normal and in others, at a slower rate than normal. When you know your oxidation rate, you can decide what foods are most needed, and which nutrients are necessary to restore balance to the body. When you take the wrong vitamin or mineral at an excessive or deficient percent, it can make your health problems worse. A tissue mineral analysis can be used to determine, with scientific and mathematical precision, your individual oxidation rate. Your metabolic blueprint. Once this is corrected, and balance is restored, the disease trend can be slowed or possibly reversed.
5. Detecting Toxic Metals
| Symptoms linked to toxic elemental exposure: |
Arsenic: Fatigue, headaches, dermatitis, increased salivation, muscular weakness, loss of hair and nails, hypopigmentation of skin, anemia, skin rashes
Cadmium: Loss of sense of smell, anemia, dried scaly skin, hair loss, hypertension, kidney problems
Lead In children: delayed mental development, hyperactivity, delayed learning, behavioral problems
Children and adults: fatigue, anemia, metallic taste, loss of appetite, weight loss and headaches, insomnia, nervousness, decreased nerve conduction, possibly motor neuron disorders
Mercury: Reduced sensory abilities (taste, touch, vision and hearing), metallic taste with increased salivation, fatigue, anorexia, irritability and excitability, psychoses, mania, anemia, paresthesias, tremors, incoordination, cardiovascular disease, hypertension with renal dysfunction |

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.
Such as unmanageable stress, chronic fatigue, asthma, infections, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While routine blood tests cannot detect chronic heavy metal poisoning, tissue mineral analysis is one of the few methods approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for detecting toxic metals within the body. See more information in the article, "Why Heavy Metals are a Hazard to Your Health".
6. Emotions
Biochemical imbalances can contribute to many mental and emotional disturbances. A tissue mineral analysis can predict, explain, and suggest nutritional solutions for common complaints such as anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, phobias, insomnia and possibly criminal behavior, etc.
7. Constructing A Picture of One’s Body Chemistry
With correct interpretation of a hair tissue mineral analysis, one can construct a metabolic picture, your personal metabolic blueprint, of the way your body is functioning and the way it is responding to stress. There is no other simple test that can give you a scientific and mathematical picture of your metabolism.
8. Hair Tissue Mineral Test vs. Blood Test
A blood test is a valuable tool to determine immediately any changes occurring in the body when the blood is drawn. It can determine your cholesterol, hemoglobin levels, and many other parameters while in an acute stage of stress. A blood test fluctuates daily due to the foods we eat and our emotional stability. Mineral level in blood are ten times less than they are in soft tissues. Blood tests also have narrower parameters or limits by the body, so that readings vary little and very little information can be determined.
Hair analysis will not vary day to day, and will provide a long standing metabolic blueprint of our bodies biochemical status.
9. Gland, Organ and Tissue Function
The level and ratio of the tissue minerals in the body relate to the activity of specific glands and organs. By calculating these ratios through the mineral test, the function of the glands and organs can be assessed long before any abnormalities appear on x-rays and in a blood test.
10. Why Use Exact Amount of Supplements, Minerals, and Proportions of Foods?
In today’s fad diet world, it is all about shocking the body into extremes. Yes, you may lose the weight but at what cost to your bio-chemical stability. The body functions best between specific ratios and levels of minerals. If one mineral is off then eventually the others will follow. Sometimes it happens fast and other times it is an accumulation of years. There are many factors that contribute to the rate of decline within the body which have already been discussed.
11. Monitoring Your Progress
In nutritional therapy, a common problem is monitoring if it is really working for you.
Are you getting results? You may see the inches coming off and some of the symptoms disappearing, some even persisting. But it is in the monitoring of your biochemistry on a regular basis, that tells the true story of how your body is functioning on the inside. How your body is transforming the internal stress tells how you are handling the external stress of everyday life. If is recommended that once you are on a program for two to three months, you do a repeat mineral analysis. A comparison is done on the earlier tests and your program is reevaluated scientifically instead of guessing what should be done next. What is so great about this is you are part of the process and outcome of your nutritional program. It is solely up to you to stay committed and involved in every step of your road to a balanced-body chemistry.
12. Accuracy and Reliability
Each year Trace Elements, Inc. located in Dallas, Texas evaluates over 500,000 hair samples for medical practitioners and other healthcare professionals. The director of research, Dr. David Watts is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities in the field of clinical nutrition and has published over 50 scientific papers on the subject. His work over the past twenty-five years has identified many significant relationships between minerals, vitamins and the neuro-endocrine system. His research culminating from over 300,000 tissue mineral patterns has led to the development and recognition of individual tissue mineral patterns associated with disease trends, metabolic types and even emotional characteristics.

14. How Much Hair is Necessary For The Test?
Two full heaping teaspoons should approximate the weight requirement. The weight requested for a hair specimen is 250 milligrams (0.25 Gram). Make sure that you send at least this much and if in doubt send more. If the amount of hair submitted is not adequate, this will delay your test results. Exact instructions for taking your hair sample can be found here.
