CLEANSING TESTS: figuring out your health issues
TEST #1: Blood type – certain blood types and ethnicities should stick to certain foods to
maintain a healthy system. Check out the book “Eating Right For Your Blood Type”
TEST #2: Hair Analysis - Mineral deficiencies / Metal toxicity - Hair analysis is an
accurate and informative method, using a snippet of hair sample, that will give you a complete profile of your mineral status to help you correct any imbalance and to achieve
optimal nutrition and the vitality and health that this brings. You will be amazed at how
easy it is to have a hair analysis done and how much benefit it will bring you. It is also
extremely useful for testing for heavy metal toxicity or poisoning such as mercury and
nickel toxicity.With a hair analysis, most test will test for eleven minerals:Calcium,
Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iodine, Magnesium, Manganese, Selenium, Strontium,
Sulfur, and Zinc. These minerals are of major importance in health and disease, including
diabetes, heart conditions, and osteoporosis. Hair analysis can also show the following
nine toxic elements:Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Bismuth, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury,
Nickel, and Tin.
Mercury toxicity and other heavy metal toxicity can arise by prolonged exposure to
environmental contamination and can cause a range of symptoms, from headaches to
muscle pains, tremors, dizziness,depression and general neurological problems, among
others.
Mercury toxicity can arise from drinking contaminated tap water or even a high
consumption of fish with high mercury content or from leaching from dental fillings.
If you have unexplained symptoms and suspect mercury or other heavy metal toxicity
then the hair analysis test will give you the answer you need.
Lead toxicity can easily arise by prolonged exposure to exhaust fumes; aluminium
toxicity could arise from aluminium leaching from aluminium cooking utensils and from
food and drink sources; Arsenic toxicity or arsenic poisoning could come from the
arsenic present in some paints and in industrial waste, and cadmium toxicity from
cigarette smoke.
TEST #3: Allergy tests – There are a number of allergy tests out there. Some test 100 foods.
Others test hundreds of foods and drinks and/or environmental allergies like grass and molds.
It is imporatant to understand what your allergies are as eating or drinking or breating in even
small amounts of allergens can damage you immune system and cause more serious
problems with your health.
All 3 of these tests can normally be done through guidance of a Naturopathic Doctor.
These doctors will screen your system and look for problem areas and then will come
up with a game plan to combat the issues through cleansing, diet, exercise, and
nutrition
