hair mineral tests - where in UK?

[nightcat]

Does anyone know whether hair mineral analysis can be done on NHS and what would justify it?

Alternatively, where can it be done privately to have results sent back to us directly rather than going through a practitioner?

Also, where can we have a comprehensive stool analysis done privately (bacteria, fungal etc), tried NHS but it was just too basic, I don't think they believe in candida :-(..?

As far as I can tell, the NHS does not offer a hair analysis service.

However after looking at peer reviewed medical journals, there is no reason to doubt its effectiveness as a method to measure minerals OR heavy metals. www.mineralstate.co.uk

Not on the NHS
But you can ask for a 10% discount //www.hairanalysisuk.com
Supplements are recommended after getting the results so you would need to budget for that. You will find out what minerals are deficient or toxic that are affecting organ function, stress levels, toxicity etc

yes here www.hairanalysisuk.com not on the nhs because once you have done the hair tissue mineral analysis you are recommended supplements based around the test - lab used is arltma.com and have been doing it for over 50 years. I have been a practitioner for 8 years and on the programme this long (i started in severe burnout) and my kids are doing well on the programme. Hardly ever get sick and Ive been able to help them with their teen hormone problems as well. You see all sorts of stress patterns on the test, immune, digestion, mineral levels and excesses, toxic metals that can't detox or are too high, estrogen or testosterone dominance, hidden copper toxicity, gland function, root causes of many issues basically - helpful for kids that have delayed development etc.
