Getting Rid of Chemicals in Your Body
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).

  • The Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
    by Dr. Gary Farr 6/25/2004
    I often tell my patients that the gastrointestinal tract is much like a carburetor in a car. Your digestive tract tract must take gasoline (your food), and then mix it with air (enzymes and other digestive juices). If this mixing process goes well, your car runs and doesn't cough or sputter. How efficiently your fuel burns determines to a large extent how many years you're going to get out of your car. Although a rather crude analogy, this principle does hold true for the human digestive tract. There are many points along the digestive where some "burning" process can go awry and cause seemingly unrelated problems elsewhere in the body. This article will discuss those various places and give you a very good detail of what can go wrong.

Systems in which toxic metal elements can induce impairment and dysfunction include the blood and cardiovascular, detoxification pathways (colon, liver, kidneys, skin), endocrine (hormonal), energy production pathways, enzymatic, gastrointestinal, immune, nervous (central and peripheral), reproductive, and urinary.
