Science Formulas® Hair Analysis (1 Hair Analysis w/ collection kit and phone interpretation with Alan Greenberg to help you better understand your results) For $129.00
Hair Analysis checks for 16 heavy metals and 23 essential minerals. Hair Analysis should be an essential part of all chelations. Many factors affect the absorption, distribution and excretion of both toxic heavy metals and essential minerals.
For optimal chelation results it is essential to:
1) accurately assess the need for chelation†
2) establish a baseline measurement of the number, type and amount of toxic metals present prior to chelation†
3) determine whether trace mineral metabolism is impaired†
4) monitor the progress of the chelation.
Individuals differ vastly in their ability to excrete heavy metals, monitoring of the chelation process is essential since some persons, especially those with derangement of trace mineral metabolism, may require multiple cycles of chelation†.
