Your Animal's Health
Two main reasons animals will become ill are problems in its environment and /or diet. We often take for granted that the environment and foods we provide are adequate. In fact,many animal disorders can be traced to dietary, vitamin or mineral deficiencies, and /or environmental conditions that expose them to toxic contaminants which accumulate in animal tissue.
Minerals are Essential
Like humans, animals eat not only to get the energy they need, but also to support enzyme, muscle, hormonal, brain and other functions. Therefore, foods must provide "quality fuel" in the or of vitamins and minerals that will optimize health and growth.
Essential minerals or macro elements are needed to sustain the life of your animal. Minerals such as calcium. magnesium and Phosphorus are needed for growth and to maintain healthy bone structure.
The essential trace elements are needed in lesser quantities, but are equally important. For instance, zinc deficiency retards growth, sexual development, and hormonal function. It also causes skin and hair (fur) problems. Hair mineral analysis identifies deficiencies long before your pet becomes seriously ill. Test results allow proper correction through mineral supplementation or dietary changes, improving animal health.
Toxic Elements
Toxic elements are potentially present in food, water and the animal's environment. Long-term exposure to small amounts can result in tissue accumulation, which is rarely diagnosed through blood or urine analysis. These chronic exposures to toxic elements can come from seemingly innocent places-water and food bowls, the air and even the paint on an old doghouse. Over time, toxic elements of pets, displacing important essential elements. These imbalances inhibit metabolic functions, create organ stress and cause a variety of health problems. Visible signs of toxic element exposure may take some time to manifest; therefore early detection is essential.
Hair mineral analysis is an ideal test to identify the animal's toxic burden long before serious cell damage occurs.
Hair Mineral Analysis
For many years, physicians have recognized the benefits of Hair Mineral Analysis (HMA) in humans. Unknown to many, veterinarians and scientists have utilized HMA to identify toxic exposure or deficiencies in animals for decades. In fact, animal research provided the basis for understanding the importance of selenium and muscle function. Arsenic toxicities in farm animals have long been detected through hair or fur mineral analysis. Much of our understanding of health and nutrition problems has been learned from animal experience.
Analyzing hair is a simple task requiring only 0.5grams of hair or fur from the underside of the animal's neck. Only the two inches closest to the skin should be saved for analysis. All long ends should be discarded, ensuring that only the most recent history of the animal will be looked at.
