WHY SCREEN HAIR FOR TOXIC HEAVY METALS?
Progress in the last century has resulted in many new advances. However, one major setback, as a result of these advances, is the release of enormous amounts of heavy metals into our environment.With the interconnected nature of the earth and global manufacturing, toxins have become an inseparable part of the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Toxic exposure can effect us on a daily basis—from sources we may never even suspect.
Example:
Lead, the most abundant toxin in our body and our environment, can be found in tap water, urban soil (contaminated by car exhaust), paint from older homes, soldering, newsprint, food ( grown in lead-heavy soil) and some glazed dishware.
Mercury, also widespread contaminant of the environment, is present in amalgam tooth fillings, cosmetics, shellfish, large fish, fungicides, paints, electrical relays, thermometers and thermostats.
Aluminum is contained in antacids, baking powder, processed cheeses and flours, cookware, antiperspirants, water sources, and some medicines.
Other common sources of heavy metal toxins include cigarette smoke and air pollution (cadmium), hydrogenated oils (nickel), pesticides (arsenic), and some toothpaste’s and canned food (tin).
HOW DO TOXINS AFFECT MY WELL BEING?
The human body is not capable of metabolizing and processing large quantities of toxins, and as a result, allows toxins to accumulate. This can have both subtle and powerful effects on your well being.
As toxins build up, they can damage cells and displace key nutrients your body needs to function properly. Scientists are finding more and more that the amount of toxins necessary to affect behavior and the central nervous system is much lower than previously believed. With repeated exposure, toxins may eventually accumulate inside organ tissue, such as those of the liver and kidney. Toxins can also increase production of free radicals. (Extreme Health’s Oral Chelation / Age-Less Formula included 30 antioxidants targeted toward supporting the kidneys, besides being beneficial in many other ways, along with excellent liver support).
WHY USE The HAIR TO SCREEN?
Because hair actually retains the toxic elements trapped in your body, hair screening can provide an accurate and powerful means of evaluating the effects of cumulative, long-term exposure to toxins.
A growing hair follicle first begins forming far below the skin, exposing it to a rich supply of blood vessels. As the follicle grows, toxic elements in the blood are absorbed into the growing hair protein.
When hair reaches the skin surface, it undergoes a hardening process called keratinization- where toxins accumulated during hair formation become sealed into the protein structure of the hair. By this process, toxic concentrations of hair will reflect toxic concentrations in other body tissues.
That’s why just a small amount of your hair can give you a safe, accurate, convenient, and economical way of determining long-term accumulation of toxins in your body.
WHERE DOES THE BODY GET MINERAL NUTRIENTS?
(Extreme Health’s Age-Less Bottle includes 50 different ingredients to replenish the mineral nutrients properly.)
Mineral nutrients are essential to life. Without mineral nutrients, your body wouldn’t be able to function. Mineral nutrients serve as the basic structural components of your skeletal system, blood proteins, enzymes, and certain hormones and vitamins. Your body uses minerals to produce energy and carry out important biochemical processes such as enzyme reactions, hormone production, and nerve transmissions. Mineral nutrients also help promote proper growth and development of tissue, and assist in heart and muscle function.
Having a full complement of all minerals is important. Your body cannot make essential minerals; they must come from your diet. Modern food processing and farming techniques can reduce the mineral content of some foods by as much as 99%, helping make minerals deficiencies more widespread than vitamin deficiencies. Another reason for mineral deficiencies is that minerals are not released as easily from food compounds as vitamins are.
SCREEN FOR 9 HEAVY METALS PLUS 11 ESSENTIAL MINERALS
Toxic Heavy Metals and Mineral Check Testing; using a hair sample, measures levels of 11 essential minerals including: Calcium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iodine, Magnesium, Manganese, Selenium, Strontium, Sulfur, Zinc, some of these essential minerals may become toxic at high levels, along with 9 toxic elements including: Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Bismuth, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel, and Tin. Essential minerals are a factor in cellular function and are necessary for the body’s structural and metabolic functions, in particular, enzyme reactions. Toxic elements can affect many areas, including brain function and activity, kidney damage, and symptoms such as insomnia, headaches, and digestive problems.
PLEASE NOTE
Care should be used in the evaluation of Toxic Heavy Metals and Mineral Check elemental hair analysis results. Hair treatments or other external contaminants may affect reported levels of an element. The laboratory washing procedure will remove those elements which are soluble, but some treatments make a permanent bond to the hair and cannot be removed. These contaminants may increase some element levels.
ABOUT THIS HAIR TEST SCREENING…
Mineral elements assist in the production of energy and other important biochemical processes essential to health. Toxic elements, such as lead, mercury or cadmium, may accumulate in the body due to chronic exposure.
Toxic Heavy Metal and Mineral Check evaluates levels of the following elements in your body:
Minerals: Calcium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iodine, Magnesium, Manganese, Selenium, Strontium, Sulfur, and Zinc.
Toxins: Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Bismuth, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel, and Tin.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What if the hair is too short to cut?
Stainless steel thinning shears may be used by placing them next to scalp.
What if there is no new growth because of recent chemical coloring or perming?
It is best to wait until new hair growth is available-hair grows approximately ½ inch per month. If an analysis is needed before then, save as much new growth as possible from the roots and take samples from additional places.
May I use hair from other parts of my body?
Yes. Ideally, you should use hair from your scalp, although hair from your pubic area is acceptable as well. It is important that you use hair from one area only. Mixing hair from different areas of your body will render the analysis inaccurate. You must indicate on the requisition if you chose to use hair from your pubic area..
How much scalp hair is needed?
A sufficient amount of hair is needed to properly analyze your sample. Make sure that the amount of hair in your sample tips the hair scale, as shown in Step 5. Insufficient hair samples cannot be processed.
BEFORE YOU START
There are no special diet restrictions for the Toxic Heavy Metal and Mineral Check hair screen test. However, this test cannot be performed accurately on hair that has been permed, dyed or bleached in the past two months. Also, shampoo’s with dyes, coloring or special chemicals must be discontinued for three days prior to cutting hair sample. We recommend using Johnson & Johnson No More Tears baby shampoo or an organic shampoo for 1-2 weeks prior to the day of collecting sample. Your hair must be dry when collecting the sample.
If the hair is short, stainless steel thinning shears may be used. You may find the sample collection process easier to complete with the help of a family member or friend.

Introduction
Are you feeling bad and don't know why? An imbalance of essential minerals or heavy metal toxins can affect your overall well-being. Minerals and toxins can affect many areas of your body including brain function and activity, high blood pressure, immune system, digestive disorders and sexual dysfunction. A simple hair test can determine if such imbalances may be contributing to unexplained symptoms.
What does MineralCheck measure?
With one small hair sample, MineralCheck measures for 11 essential elements: Calcium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iodine, Magnesium, Maganese, Selenium, Strontium, Sulfur and Zinc. The following 9 toxic elements are also measured: Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Bismuth, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel and Tin.
How do essential minerals affect my health?
Many minerals are essential to life, assisting in the production of energy and other important biochemical processes. While vitamins get all the attention, minerals are equally important to good health. However, deficiencies or imbalances among minerals can lead to various conditions.
An imbalance of minerals may attribute to the following symptoms:
Poor wound healing Depression
Weight problems Anxiety
Depressed libido Joint pain
Hair loss Elevated cholesterol
Impotence Anemia
Cardiovascular problems Reduced resistance to infection
Hyperglycemia AllergiesHow do toxic elements affect my health?
Heavy metal accumulation is likely in an environment plagued by pollutants. Toxins, many of which are metals, normally are present in the body in small amounts. However, they accumulate with excessive or continual environmental exposure or if your body's detoxifying defenses are not functioning properly. As toxicity increases so does the severity of signs and symptoms.
Heavy metal toxicity may attribute to the following symptoms:
Fatigue Decrease in bone health
Constipation Skin problems
Insomnia Tingling in extremities
Emotional disturbances Tissue aging
Hyperactivity Musculoseletal pain
Learning disabilities in children Anemia
Hypertension
Minerals and toxins can strongly affect your well-being. Ask yourself:
____ Do you regularly use antiperspirants or antiacids?
____ Do you have metal tooth fillings or regularly consume seafood?
____ Do you live or work in an industrial setting?
____ Do you spend a great deal of time in traffic?
____ Do you have chronic symptoms that haven't been diagnosed or treated successfully?
____ Do you have chronic gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, or gas?
____ Do you take minimal amounts of vitamin C?
____ Do you suffer from periodontal symptoms, allergies, or hypertension?
____ Do you suffer from mood changes that are difficult to explain?
____ Do you have trouble with concentration, memory or learning?
____ Do you get infections easily or recover slowly?
____ Do you experience a reduced sense of taste or smell, poor night vision, rough skin, or poor wound healing?
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, you may have mineral imbalances or excess toxins in your system. MineralCheck is an effective assessment tool for determining nutrient imbalances and toxic exposure.
