Headaches
can be a symptom of overexposure
to heavy metals like mercury and
aluminum.1,2 For
this reason, experts have advised that
heavy metal toxicity be included as a
consideration in the workup of patients
with headaches.3 Take
the Hair Analysis Test
To
get the complete picture, nutrient
levels should also be assessed.
That's because deficiencies of
key nutrients like calcium and
magnesium can also play an important
role by reducing an individual's
threshold
for migraine attacks.4,5 Two
tests are available for testing
of nutrient deficiencies . 1. The
Spectra Nutrient Analysis and
2. The
NutriEval.
Elemental
Analysis determines levels of toxins and nutrients in the body using
a hair, blood, or urine sample. Each specimen type provides a unique
window on element status. A hair sample reflects chronic toxic exposure
and long-term nutritional imbalances, while blood and urine assessment
gauge the effects of more recent imbalances.
