Hair Mineral Analysis

Hair Mineral Analysis can be an exceptional and cost effective tool for asseessing heavy metals and other general wellness conditions.  It provides a 3 month snapshot of what is being deposited in the cells. 

Veterinarians and Animal Nutrition experts have relied heavily on this testing for many decades since their patients can't talk.  Some amazing work has been done in the realm of animal nutrition with the assistance of  these tests.  Given their successful use by these folks, it is unfortunate that Western Medicine Doctors do not give them the credit that is due. 

Analytical Research Labs (ARL) is the vendor I use.  There are approximately 8 vendors in the country but ARL is one of the original vendors.  ​
My pricing:

  • $175 -- Initial Order -- This includes providing you with the instructions and packet needed to send to the lab in a prepaid envelop,   receiving results in my office,  analyzing results,  and presenting the findings in a 30 minute follow-up appointment.

  • $120 -- Subsequent Orders -- This includes the same service as the initial order.   

If you wanted to check on progress or changes in your health with this testing system,  followup testing could transpire 90 days after initial order.  Doing a hair mineral analysis on an annual basis could be a good way to track long term health changes, much like blood work.

Service Details

  • You will pay me for the service
  • I will provide you with a small test kit and basic instructions
  • You will cut off a dime size amount of hair at the root and then you will cut the first 1.5" of hair from that bundle and you will discard the rest (so you are testing the 1.5" of hair that was closest to the scalp).
  • You will place that on a small paper teeter-toter that acts as a weight scale.  If it tips over, you have enough hair for the test.  If not, cut off a little more.  
  •  You will put your hair in a self-addressed, prepaid envelope that was included with the test kit I provided,  and you will drop that in a mail box.
  • The results will be mailed back to me in two to three weeks.
  • We will schedule a date to review your results.
