The test is performed by burning the sample of hair at a high
temperature in a mass spectrometer The technique has been used
in laboratories for about 80 years. Computer-controlled
instruments have improved the accuracy and reduced the cost of
mineral analysis. Minerals tested include the electrolytes -
calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus. Trace
minerals tested include copper, manganese, chromium, selenium,
iron, molybdenum, lithium, cobalt, zinc and others. Toxic metals
tested include lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, aluminum
and others. balancing science employs hair mineral analysis
along with other material submitted by the client to inform the
practitioner of their situation. By interpreting the hair
mineral test properly, one can construct a biochemical picture
of the way the body is responding to stress. Based upon this
picture, deep correction can be initiated. Progress can be
monitored with repeat hair mineral tests. The science
incorporates and integrates many disciplines in
