Hair Analysis

We have been talking about living forever - biological immortality. While many see my views on health and immortality as delusional, there are some who see them as visionary. In our last discussion we talked about what baseball great Ted Williams and his family were doing to stay alive forever. Scince medicne and science are not advanced enough yet to facalitate and allow immortality, many may need to pursue the path that Ted has taken of cryonics and biostasis, with reannimation being the ultimate goal. This science is in it's infantcy and still has many risks. Therefore, for those of us who are still alive, and who hope to remain so ( in reasearching the prospect of immortality it is amazing the number of people I have talked to who don't want to live forever - who are so beaten down by life that as one friend of mine said he was looking forward to the "sublime oblivion") the main thing we can do right now is to take the best care of ourselves possible.
When we fell bad we go to a doctor to find out what is wrong and to get better. Most doctors will order tests to confirm or confuse their diagnoses. When they can't come up with an answer here is an excellent way for you to poceed on your own or with their help. Try hair analysis. Why hair analysis? Well, our environment has become so poluted with metal smelting, plastic production, agricultural chemical runoff, overuse of fossil fuels, etc., etc. that nearly everything we breathe,
eat , drink , wear on our body or come into contact with is either accidently or intentionallly bad for us.
What hair analysis does is to determine whether or not our bodies have been posioned by substances known as heavy metals. Heavy metal build up ( the over accumulation of ) causes numerous medical problems. To test your hair it should not have been dyed, permed or otherwise mistreated for the last couple of months and the testing company will most likely tell you what shampoo to use for a few months prior to testing. Scince most people's hair grows at about a half an inch a month, the hair you cut for the sample is the half inch that is closest to scalp. Hair samples are obtained from several locations on the head and weighed on a small scale provided with the hair test kit. The hair is tested for heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and fifteen or so others. Usually aluminum is also tested for though it is not a heavy metal it can cause health problems. When the lab returns your results you are told the level of each metal. Metals that are found to be in excessive accumulation need to be removed from the body in order to obtain more optimal health. At present the best process for removing these metals is a process known as chelation. Next post I'll discuss oral, I.V. and rectal chelation. The pros and cons of each and let you decide which metod to choose. Oh, by the way I'd bet good money to plug nickels that if you have your heavy metal test done you will be have too much of at least one of them, and there is not a lab I know of that is pushing any form of chelation therpy. Labs just send results.
