Why Get A Hair Analysis?

A hair analysis determines exactly what chemicals are inside of you,
including radiation, heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum, tin,
copper, and lead, food chemicals such as aspartame, pesticides and
more! Generic medical lab tests don't identify deep tissue toxins or
nutrient depletions.

A hair tissue mineral analysis is a screening test for the level of 20
minerals and toxic metals in a sample of hair. It is a tissue mineral
biopsy that is non-invasive, relatively inexpensive and extremely
accurate.

Hair analysis is probably the best way to determine if you are
deficient in minerals.
 Blood analysis is appropriate for determining
certain minerals like iron, but generally blood analysis is much more
expensive than hair analysis.

A blood tests shows what is happening outside the cell. The hair gives
a reading of what is being stored in the body. For example, if we find
metals in the hair we would also find it being stored in the liver, kidney
and other tissues. This would manifest as symptoms such as poor
memory, fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, hyperactivity in children,
heart disease and depression just to name a few.

Having an analysis performed is one of the most accurate ways of
detecting toxic metals within your tissues and determining your vitamin
and nutrient imbalances. You first must IDENTIFY the cause or causes
of your health symptoms before you attempt to ‘heal’ them.

I
nterpretation is important because high levels of a mineral in the
hair doesn't always mean that the mineral is high in the body.

How Does A Hair Analysis Work?

Dr. Firnbach sends a sample of your hair to a testing laboratory. The
protein in hair fiber holds the composition of the body tissues for a
permanent period. By analyzing the hair fiber composition, you can tell
what toxins have accumulated in the body tissues and what vitamins
and minerals are depleted or too abundant causing an imbalance in
body function.

By detoxifying unnatural chemicals and by replacing specific vitamins
individual to your needs, proper health can be restored through
nutrition. The human hair analysis can detail these levels.

What is Included in the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Results?

When you order the hair tissue mineral analysis, you will receive a 15-
20 page report that includes your information about:
•        metabolic rate
•        energy levels
•        sugar and carbohydrate tolerance
•        immune system
•        autonomic balance
•        glandular activity (for a potential thyroid or adrenal condition)
•        mineral levels
•        heavy metal toxicities
The test results are printed on an easy-to-read graph.
The printed
graph shows mineral results, metal toxicities, major mineral
ratios, and the oxidation type.

The results also include a 15 minute phone or email consultation with
Dr. Firnbach. She will help provide further interpretation of the results
as well as recommend a wealth of information covering diets, food
preparation, eating habits, supplements, and detoxification programs.

How Is Hair Analysis Done?

The collection for the hair analysis is simple and absolutely painless.

then send the hair sample to a licensed clinical laboratory for a series of
procedures. The tests are performed with highly sophisticated detection
equipment and methods to achieve the most accurate and precise
results. Dr. Firnbach usually receives the results within 10-14 days after
the lab receives the sample.
