What Is Hair Analysis?

Hair analysis has been around for many, many years and its testing that many are now seeking out as a way to address the root cause of poor health.   Looking at what is happening in the cells of the body rather than blood, can give us a deep view inside about the thyroid, adrenals, sex hormones, blood sugar, and more. 

Although this type of testing is backed up by decades of research, it is not often utilized because most standard medical doctors are not able to interpret or understand the test results.  The graph pictured reads like a puzzle and it is very important to never read the report straightforward.  It takes training and experience to provide a explanation of what is found and then more skill to develop a plan of action to correct it.  

This isn't something that most medical professionals want to take the time to do.  It's much easier to write out a prescription! 

It's important to make sure you are using the right lab to process your hair sample. Some send the hair sample through a washing process and that greatly affects the test results. The laboratories that I prefer for testing are Trace Elements (TEI) and Analytical Research (ARL). Both provide very accurate test results. Anyone from age 1 to 101 can utilize a hair test.
