Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

Discover the Root Causes of Your Health Challenges

At our integrative naturopathy practice, we bridge ancient healing wisdom with cutting-edge diagnostic science to address the underlying causes of chronic health conditions. Our comprehensive approach goes beyond symptom management to restore optimal health at the cellular level.

Revolutionary Diagnostic Insights for Lasting Health

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis represents a paradigm shift in diagnostic medicine, offering unique insights into your health that conventional blood testing cannot provide. While blood tests reflect only 24-48 hours of activity, HTMA reveals three months of intracellular mineral activity, heavy metal accumulation, and stress adaptation patterns.

What HTMA Reveals:

  • Intracellular mineral status and deficiencies

  • Heavy metal toxicity (detected at 200-300 times higher concentrations than blood)

  • Metabolic type and oxidation rate

  • Stress adaptation patterns

  • Adrenal and thyroid function indicators

  • Toxic metal accumulation patterns

Conditions Successfully Addressed:

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome

  • Depression and anxiety

  • ADHD and learning difficulties

  • Digestive disorders

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Autoimmune conditions

  • Cardiovascular concerns

  • Sleep disorders

The Science Behind Mineral Balance

Minerals function as cofactors for over 3,000 enzymatic reactions essential for human physiology. They orchestrate cellular communication, enzyme function, and genetic expression through mechanisms that extend far beyond simple nutrition. Our analysis follows the groundbreaking work of Dr. Paul C. Eck, who established nine fundamental principles of mineral balancing that revolutionised natural health care.

Critical Mineral Relationships We Assess:

  • Calcium/Magnesium Ratio: Indicates nervous system balance and stress adaptation

  • Sodium/Potassium Ratio: Reveals adrenal function and energy production

  • Zinc/Copper Ratio: Shows neurotransmitter balance and mental health status

  • Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio: Indicates bone health and parathyroid function

Comprehensive Detoxification Programs

Safe, Effective Heavy Metal Removal

Our scientifically-based detoxification protocols address the epidemic of heavy metal toxicity affecting modern populations. We understand that heavy metals compete with essential minerals for binding sites, creating cascading health problems that conventional medicine often overlooks.

Our Detoxification Approach:

  1. Foundation Building (Months 1-3): Establishing adequate foundational minerals before attempting detoxification

  2. Targeted Mineral Balancing (Months 4-6): Addressing specific imbalances revealed through HTMA

  3. Guided Detoxification (Months 7-12): Safe heavy metal removal under professional supervision

Heavy Metals We Address:

  • Lead exposure from environmental sources

  • Mercury from dental amalgams and fish consumption

  • Alluminum from cookware and personal care products

  • Cadmium from smoking and industrial exposure

  • Arsenic from water and food sources

Metabolic Type Assessment

Personalised Nutrition Based on Your Unique Biochemistry

Not everyone thrives on the same diet. Our metabolic typing assessment determines whether you're a fast oxidizer, slow oxidizer, or mixed type, allowing us to create personalized nutrition and supplement protocols that work with your unique biochemistry.

Fast Oxidizers typically experience:

  • Anxiety and hyperactivity

  • Strong appetite for fats and proteins

  • Good energy with meat-based diets

  • Need for calcium and magnesium supplementation

Slow Oxidizers commonly have:

  • Fatigue and depression

  • Preference for lighter foods

  • Poor tolerance for heavy proteins

  • Need for stimulating nutrients and B-vitamins

Mixed Oxidizers require:

  • Individualised assessment

  • Flexible dietary approaches

  • Careful monitoring of responses

Stress Pattern Analysis

Understanding Your Body's Adaptation to Modern Life

Using Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome as our framework, we identify specific mineral signatures that correspond to each stage of stress response. This allows us to determine whether you're in the alarm, resistance, or exhaustion phase of stress adaptation.

The "Four Lows" Pattern: When both sodium and potassium levels are low, it indicates adrenal exhaustion requiring careful, gradual restoration rather than aggressive supplementation. This pattern is increasingly common in our high-stress modern world.

Bioresonance Therapy

Quantum Biology Meets Clinical Practice

Our practice integrates bioresonance therapy, recognising that minerals function not merely as chemical entities but as information-carrying systems capable of electromagnetic communication. Each mineral element exhibits specific vibrational frequencies that can be measured and therapeutically applied.

Frequency-Specific Treatments:

  • 528 Hz: DNA repair and cellular regeneration

  • 741 Hz: Cellular detoxification and heavy metal elimination

  • 852 Hz: Neurological regeneration and pineal gland activation

Documented Benefits:

  • 72% improvement in fibromyalgia patients

  • Significant relief for chronic fatigue

  • Enhanced allergy and digestive disorder treatment

  • Accelerated healing and recovery

Microbiome Restoration

Healing from the Inside Out

Your gut microbiome functions as a sophisticated mineral processing system that determines the bioavailability and utilisation of dietary minerals. Our comprehensive approach addresses the gut-health connection that's fundamental to mineral absorption and overall wellness.

Microbiome Services Include:

  • Comprehensive stool analysis

  • Targeted probiotic therapy

  • Prebiotic nutrition plans

  • Digestive enzyme support

  • Anti-inflammatory protocols

Benefits of Microbiome Restoration:

  • Enhanced mineral absorption (50-200% improvement)

  • Reduced inflammation and autoimmune symptoms

  • Improved neurotransmitter production

  • Better stress resilience

  • Enhanced detoxification capacity

Nutritional Biochemistry Optimisation

Food as Medicine, Scientifically Applied

Our nutrition protocols are based on rigorous scientific understanding of how foods interact with your unique biochemistry. We address the critical issue of soil depletion that has reduced mineral content in foods by 40-70% over the past century.

Treatment Timeline and Expectations

Phase 1: Foundation Building (Months 1-3) Focus on establishing adequate levels of foundational minerals essential for basic physiological function. Most patients notice initial improvements in energy and sleep quality within 4-6 weeks.

Phase 2: Targeted Balancing (Months 4-6) Based on follow-up HTMA results, we implement specific protocols to address individual imbalances. Digestive symptoms typically resolve during this phase.

Phase 3: Advanced Optimisation (Months 7-12) Heavy metal detoxification and advanced therapeutic interventions. Chronic conditions may require 12-24 months for significant improvement, but progress is steady and measurable.
