Using Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to Guide Nutritional Support During and After Cancer Treatment
1. Introduction: Why Assessing Mineral Balances Matters in Cancer Care Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) provides a clinically relevant, non-invasive method for monitoring mineral status and toxic metal burden in individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. Given the growing body of evidence linking both deficiencies in essential elements and toxic metal overload with cancer progression and treatment-related complications, HTMA is emerging as a valuable adjunct for clinicians to personalise supportive...
Cancer Risk Screening: Why Testing for Toxic Metals Matters
Cancer Risk Screening: Why Testing for Toxic Metals Matters Introduction Environmental exposure to toxic metals is a proven contributor to cancer development. Leading authorities such as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classify arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium (specifically hexavalent chromium), and nickel as Group 1 carcinogens. These metals induce carcinogenesis via oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammation, and epigenetic alterations. Recent high-quality human studies demonstrate the presence of heavy metals in...

Silicon contributes to prolylhydrolase activity, which is essential for collagen formation (Carlisle, 1984). Chicks fed a silicon-deficient...
HTMA & PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) in a 45-minute Mentoring Lecture.
InterClinical Mentoring Session:The complex relationships between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, PCOS, sugar dysregulation, endocrine function, and female fertility emphasise the importance of understanding underlying causes. The clinical approach to addressing PCOS includes the use of HTMA testing (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) to identify and address the underlying factors such as mineral imbalances, stress, and hormonal imbalances and also the impact of heavy metals such as mercury on the body's functions, emphasizing...
Metabolic Types and Subtypes as Recognised in HTMA Patterns
David L Watts, PhD, Director of Research at Trace Elements Many clients have asked questions about the metabolic subtypes that are determined in the HTMA mineral patterns. Although each type is described in individual reports, this discussion will provide further details.Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Metabolic Types The Sympathetic Metabolic Type 1, is also known as Fast Metabolic Type 1. The Parasympathetic Metabolic Type 1 is known as the Slow Metabolic Type 1. In review,...

Toxic Metals in Chilli Sauces, Turmeric and other spices.
When searching for the exposure have you asked whether your patient loves Chilli sauces? " In March this year, the US Food and Drug Administration warned that investigators detected roughly 2 to 3 parts per million of lead in Cinnamon. It is known that some spice suppliers intentionally add lead chromate to enhance the colour or increase the product weight! " This article reveals other spices from a US Laboratory white paper...
Toxins in Tattoo Inks – Significant Health Impacts
Tattoos have been an integral part of human culture for millennia, serving as art, symbols of identity, and expressions of personal beliefs. However, in recent years, concerns about heavy metal toxicity related to tattoo inks have grown, sparking interest in understanding the potential health risks associated with getting inked. In this article, we delve into tattoos and explore the presence of heavy metals in tattoo inks, their possible effects on...
Nutrient Support for Detoxification
Every day the human body is exposed to toxic compounds in the air, water and food. An individual’s ability to detoxify these substances, both from exogenous sources, such as heavy metals, xenobiotics, chemical pollutants, and processed foods, and endogenous sources, such as the by-products of metabolism, is critical to overall health and detoxification. Several organ systems work together as part of a comprehensive network to aid the breakdown and elimination of...
