This has been on my mind for a while now.
2 months ago I did a hair mineral analysis test, I figured that if I wish to get my health on track, I'd best check my physical status as well. The results were enlightening.
Apparently, I have way too much calcium which, amongst other things is preventing optimum absorption of magnesium; excess strontium, and slow metabolism. Well, I thought slow metabolism would lead to a weight gain, nope, not necessarily.
In fact, I suspected I had thyroid problems after doing the ultra mind solution quizzes, but thought I would tend to hyper thyroid, both because of my physical composition and because my mother had hyper thyroid. But apparently I tend to low thyroid. That explains why I'm constantly feeling cold though....
Since I have done the test, I have spoken with a few people and received some discredit for these testing methods. Searching on the net, not surprisingly I found both the supporters, and the ones who discredit them, and I don't think I am doing a great job in discerning which opinion is the most valid as I feel rather confused.
I have, in the meantime, began to take the supplements they recommended me to take to help with my metabolism, and ability to absorb food. Yet, I am now unsure of how valid these tests are to measure mineral levels and levels of toxicity (which fortunately seemed to be between low to none in my case).
Has any one done such a test, and if so, how accurate did you find it to be? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! :)
