    Hair Analysis of Heavy Metals is important for measuring toxic metals that can impede development and normal brain functioning. Heavy metal representation can be difficult to determine because heavy metals will bind to soft tissue and are not water soluble. Hair is a soft tissue and therefore can give an accurate reflection of heavy metals in the body. Heavy Metals such as mercury may be 250 times higher in the hair than in the blood. Heavy metals can have profound affects on neurotransmission and immunity. When toxic metals are reduced, immune function and neurotransmission are greatly improved. This test will produce an accurate picture of the toxic representation of metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury. It will also give information about other important elemental metals such as selenium, Lithium and other elements essential for normal growth and good health.
    Signs & symptoms vary for each type of metal and range in severity based on an individual’s exposure, symptoms could include: Weakness, nausea/vomiting, GI upset/diarrhea, dehydration, numbness/prickly sensation in hands & feet, low body temperature. More severe symptoms include: Arrhythmia, anemia, memory loss, difficulty breathing, organ damage, risk of developing certain types of cancer.
