| Tissue Mineral Analysis - Michael McEvoy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Have you ever wondered if your ideal diet should be based upon specific, bio-chemical factors? The Tissue Mineral Analysis program, also called Hair Mineral Analysis is a comprehensive way to identify specific bio-chemical imbalances. These findings are based on over 30 years of clinical research. Please view price packages below and choose one that meets your needs. Hair Mineral Analysis is an excellent way to view:

Follow-up tests of the hair is recommended every 3-4 months to note the body's progress and to modify the program as needed. Important information is revealed on follow-up tests such as:

| Advantages of Hair Over Other Biopsies | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are several reasons that hair is used as a biopsy over blood in most health screenings.
Minerals are the "sparkplugs of life". They are literally responsible for:
Life doesn't exist without the mineral. Imbalances in just one mineral system can significantly alter your health. This screening is one of the clearest ways to asses your body's current state of health because the cells, not the blood or urine, are the major site of metabolic activity. Of the eight clinical laboratories in the United States that perform this test, only two are considered to be worthy. The reason for this is that the hair must not be washed with detergent prior to testing. Detergents will significantly alter the mineral readings of the test. I use Analytical Research Labs, wich is one of two laboratories that do not wash the hair sample. Articles published in the American Journal of Medicine have been critical of Hair Analysis in the past. However, these studies were significantly flawed when performed. For more information on this topic, please go to the website of Dr. Lawrence Wilson: drlwilson.com Tissue Mineral Analysis is a screening test and therefore does not intend to treat, diagnose or prevent any disease. |

| Major Mineral Ratios on A Hair Mineral Test | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It is important to understand that more important than individual mineral readings is the relationship with other minerals. These complex relationships are called ratios. On a hair test there are six major mineral ratios of importance:
The first four ratios determine one's oxidation type. Oxidation is the main factor in determining one's nutritional course of action. There are three oxidation types:
About 70% of people fall under the slow oxidizer category. A smaller percentage of people are fast and mixed oxidizers. However, it is of utmost importance to have empirical knowledge of which oxidative type you are based on the hair test. The sodium/potassium ratio is the single most important ratio on the test. NA/K indicates adrenal exhaustion, immune response, and kidney function. This provides the basic assay of the body's glucose, energy production and cellular electrical balance. By recognizing complex mineral patterns your program is designed to balance your bio-chemistry. The objective will be to address the underlying deficiencies by looking at specific health conditions as symptomatic, not causative. For example, if iron anemia exists, iron supplementation may not be recommended. This is because the analysis looks at the entire problem based on intrinsic imbalances and complex mineral relationships. |

| Toxic Metal Readings | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hair mineral analysis is an excellent way to identify the following toxic metals found in the body:
It is now understood that toxic metal poisoning is a major contributing factor to many degenerative illnesses. The list includes:
It is important to mention that no toxic metal level is considered safe. Environmental toxicity is a major culprit of toxic metal exposure in your body. This may come from sources such as:
One of the primary goals of your program is to reduce and eliminate the level of toxic metal exposure. Not all of the body's toxic metal readings will appear on the first test becasue heavy metals are often sequestered deep within the body. In fact it is common that toxic metals are revealed on subsequent tests after metals are mobilized from their storage sites. Metals may mobilize from fatty tissue, spleen, liver, kidneys, bones, nervous system and brain. We will discuss several effective ways to assist the body's detoxification of toxic metals:
