Toxic and Essential Elements Hair Test
Your body can function to heal itself at the cellular level when nutrient deficiencies are corrected and toxic elements are eliminated with the right diet and environment. The Doctors Data Hair Elements Test for Minerals and Common Toxic Elements can determine your nutritional status as well as your body load of common heavy metals. A build up of toxic elements in the body can compromise your mineral status, affecting the health of your gut/mind/body and immune system function. Nutritional minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Copper, Zinc, Boron, Iron, Chromium and toxic elements such as lead, arsenic, mercury and uranium as well as many other minerals and toxic elements can be measured with a simple hair sample supplying the information required for important mineral relationships.

WHY TEST HAIR?
Extensive research has established that scalp hair element levels are related to body element levels. Many researchers consider hair as the tissue of choice for toxic and several nutrient elements. There are serious health problems associated with elevated toxic elements such as Arsenic, Lead, Aluminum, Barium, Cadmium, Gadolinium, Mercury, Nickel, Thallium, Uranium and others. Nutrition information including elements such as magnesium, chromium, zinc, copper and selenium are obligatory co-factors for hundreds of important enzymes and also are essential for the normal functions of vitamins. The levels of these elements in hair are correlated with levels in organs and other tissues.
Hair element analysis provides important information. As protein is synthesized in the hair follicle, elements are incorporated permanently into the hair. And, toxic elements may be 200-300 times more highly concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. Therefore, hair is the tissue of choice for detection of recent exposure to toxic elements such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony, and mercury.
Unlike blood, hair toxic and mineral element levels are not regulated by homeostatic mechanisms. Thus, changes in hair element levels often appear prior to overt symptoms and can thereby be a valuable preliminary tool for predicting the development of abnormalities leading to disease states.
Hair, however, is vulnerable to external elemental contamination by means of certain shampoos, bleaches, dyes, air pollution, and curing or straightening treatments. Therefore, the first step in the interpretation of a hair element report is to rule out sources of external contamination.
Hair toxic element analysis is a valuable and inexpensive screen for body burden of toxic heavy metals that you may have been exposed to in the past. For example, toxins can be acquired from food, skin exposure and air pollution. A hair collection kit is sent to you with instructions, signed doctor’s order and return shipping prepaid. An extensive report will be sent to you by email in about a week.
NOTE: Your Doctors Data Hair Elements Test report will be sent to the email used when ordering, unless otherwise specified. If you have further questions after receiving your report, a Telehealth Appointment with Dr. Ray Psonak can be scheduled for an additional fee.
