What is Tissue Mineral Analysis
(Hair Analysis)?
Hair tissue mineral analysis is unique in that it
inexpensively provides information directly about cellular activity,
which is the main site of nutritional metabolism. As important as
vitamins are, they can do nothing for the body without proper mineral
intake. Vitamins cannot function and are unable to be assimilated
without the aid of minerals. Though the body can synthesize some
vitamins, it cannot manufacture a single mineral.
Find out if you have toxic elements like Antimony,
Aluminum, Arsenic, Beryllium, Cadmium, Lead, Nickel, Mercury, Strontium,
Thallium, Tin and others in you system.
T.M.A. Hair Analysis is a valid method of screening ,which measures the
mineral content and heavy metal (toxicity) of the body’s tissue. If a
mineral deficiency or toxicity excess exists in the hair, it usually
indicates deficiencies or excesses within the body.
Hair is used as one of the tissues of choice by the US Environmental
Protection agency in determining toxic metal exposure with the following
summary: “The milk, urine, salvia and sweat measure the component that
is absorbed or excreted. The blood measures the component absorbed and
temporarily in circulation before excretion and/ or storage. The hair ,
nails and teeth are tissues in which trace minerals are sequestered
and/or stored.
Since the structure of hair remains unchanged , the minerals are fixed
in the hair. The levels in hair are not subject to change once that
portion of hair has grown, so the analysis accurately provides
concentrations of minerals that have accumulated in the hair tissue over
the hair growth period, approximately the last 3 months.
Mineral content of the hair reflects the mineral content of the body’s
tissues. Human head hair is a recording filament that can reflect
metabolic changes of many elements over long periods of time and
therefore can furnish a print out of post nutritional events.
In most cases, identification of the deficiency or excess can be
corrected by diet changes, work practice changes, or by supplementation
appropriate for your requirements.
Common causes of mineral
imbalance or deficiency
Improper diet, excessive intake of refined carbohydrates
or sugars, strict vegetarian diet, other exclusive diet, work conditions
(toxic elements), medication, stress, taking supplements, vitamins,
minerals not compatible with your body chemistry, birth control pills
can all cause mineral imbalance or deficiency.
Even if you are not experiencing a problem, abnormal
changes in body chemistry and nutritional deficiencies may result in
early, subtle changes in your body such as:
weight gain (metabolism), white spots in fingernails
(can indicate a possible zinc deficiency), longitudinal ridging in nails
(can indicate a iron deficiency), brittle fingernails, toenails and hair
(possible calcium, silica and or copper imbalance), stretch marks
(possible zinc deficiency), poor food taste (zinc deficiency).
All of the above indicators and many more are generally
signs of metabolic disturbances that can be detected in early tissue
mineral analysis.
From adolescence through adulthood the average person is
continually exposed to a variety of toxic metal sources through
contamination from soil and foods, the environment, and topical
application such as hair dyes, paint, ingestion from burnt fuels (lead),
cigarette smoke (cadmium), hydrogenated oils (nickel), antiperspirants,
soft drink and beer cans (aluminium), dental amalgams (mercury and
cadmium), copper and aluminium cookware, insect repellent, water, work
environment and industrial exposure. These are just some of the sources
which can contribute to toxic metal exposure.
If you are exposed to a hazardous / toxic substance
several factors will determine whether harmful effects will occur and
what the type and severity of those health effects will be.
Factors include the dose, duration, the route or pathway
by which you are exposed(breathing, eating, drinking or skin contact),
the other chemicals to which you are exposed, and your individual
characteristics such as age, sex, nutritional status, family traits,
lifestyle and state of health.
How is your Hair analysed?
Once your sample has arrived it is weighed and trimmed,
then digested in a specific reagent to break down the hair structure.
The sample is then aspirated into a highly sophisticated scientific
instrument (Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission
spectrophotometer).
An informative thirty page report is forwarded to you or
to the practitioner in an easy to read graph style format showing
various levels of nutrient or toxin imbalance in parts per million
(PPM). This will show how your value relates to the normal or ideal
reference range.

The single most important substance on earth is water.
Water plays a crucial role in transporting essential nutrients in plants
and animals. Over half of your body is made up of water. It's in every
cell and very tissue.
Biological processes like circulation, digestion,
absorption and excretion depend on water. It forms the foundation of
blood and lymph, maintains healthy muscles and young looking skin,
lubricates joints and organs and regulates body temperature. You cannot
function without it.
As you grow older it becomes vital to pay attention to
your water consumption and water quality.
Knowledge of water quality is essential for wise
economic management of primary production land, control of corrosion in
pumping and storage equipment, as well as for the health and wellbeing
of livestock and humans.
As the old adage of 'you are what you eat' refers to
your diet it can also apply to your water. Not only the water your
drink, but also the water you shower in, cook in and wash your clothes.
