 With the enormous amounts of toxic metal in the environment and the widespread nutrient mineral insufficiencies of the modern western diet, assessing patients for element imbalances and excesses is an increasingly important tool in the diagnosis of chronic illness. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis of the hair can provide the healthcare provider with important insight into treatment strategies for conditions ranging from depression and behavior disorders to cardiovascular and neurological illnesses. Practitioners have found the assessment extremely useful in cases where no other etiology (cause) was readily apparent for an illness or disease, as well as in cases where multiple causes act in synergy (in combination together).
