GP (Australia & NZ): Precise HTMA data on 37 minerals in ppm

Dear GP,

For nearly 30 years, InterClinical Laboratories has been providing Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis pathology services HTMA and interpretive reports to Australian doctors on nutrient and toxic mineral levels.

Nutrient and Toxic Metal Burdens

Research has shown that hair is a highly accurate method of assessing heavy metal burdens. The InterClinical HTMA report is precise to parts per million (tests are performed using an ICP Mass Spectrometer), analysing 36+ essential, toxic and trace minerals and, most importantly, highlighting 26+ significant ratios.

Accuracy & Therapeutic Recommendations

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is key to confirming the level for patients where you suspect a heavy metal burden or toxicity is a contributing factor. In addition, the report makes recommendations for chelation therapy based on individual nutritional balances, offering optimal management along with or in place of approaches such as DMSA and EDTA.

Education by Global Experts

Dr David L. Watts, PhD spoke to Australian GPs and allied health care practitioners on this subject; you can view this webinar below and a selection of others you may find interesting from guest speakers such as Dr Rick Malter, PhD Psychologist, and Nicole Bisjlma and key InterClinical speakers.

37 Minerals & 27 Ratios

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is an excellent nutritional and heavy metal (toxic) screening test. Its usefulness extends far beyond identifying mineral excesses and deficiencies. It can also reflect metabolic activity. Nutritional imbalances contribute to adverse health conditions, but it should be noted that most adverse health conditions have underlying metabolic disturbances involving the neuro-endocrine system that conversely contribute to nutritional imbalances.

Why Are Ratios Important?

Continuing research indicates that metabolic dysfunction occurs not necessarily as a result of a deficiency or excess of a particular mineral level but more frequently from an abnormal balance (ratio) between the minerals. Due to this complex interrelationship between the minerals, it is extremely important to determine imbalances. Once these imbalances are identified, corrective therapy may then be used to help re-establish a more normal biochemical balance.

Environmental Toxins

Testing for environmental toxins, especially heavy metals, building up in the body is essential. Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury are among the top 10 chemicals of public concern (ATSDR 2020).
