9 Rules of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) & Mineral-Balancing (Dr. Paul Eck)

The following is an Excerpt from "Energy: How it affects your emotions, your level of achievement, and your entire well-being", an interview with Dr. Paul Eck.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Rules by Dr Paul Eck

Nature's Law of Minerals:

Every mineral has an effect on every other mineral.

It is scientifically impossible to change the level of even one mineral without simultaneously affecting the levels of all other minerals.




The following nine rules of hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) took years of study and research to develop. They represent the biological cornerstones of the new science of human energy.



1. A high mineral level can be just as damaging as a low mineral level. In other words, a person with a very high calcium level can be just as bad off as if they had a very low calcium level. In both conditions, the body cannot properly utilize calcium.



2. Just because a mineral "appears" to be at its normal level doesn’t mean that it really is. For example, the normal level of copper is 2.5. If your copper level is normal on the tissue mineral analysis, you may still be low or high in copper. You might have major mineral imbalances or stress in your body, which is causing the copper to "appear" normal. In a later test, your copper may end up being off the chart on the high end. You have to be like a detective in reading a mineral chart.



3. Giving a specific mineral that appears to be "low" on a chart will rarely—if ever—raise that particular mineral level. If a person has a low manganese level on their chart, giving that person manganese will rarely raise their manganese level.



4. The longer a mineral ratio has been out of balance, the longer it will take to correct it. This means that if you have been a very slow oxidizer for ten or fifteen years, don’t expect to become a normal oxidizer overnight.



5. It is easier to slow a fast person down than it is to speed a slow person up. Stated another way, it is easier to walk downhill than it is to walk uphill.



6. Certain mineral levels will tend to go out of balance in combination with other minerals to keep their ratios as constant as possible. In many cases, when one mineral level rises, a second mineral level will also rise to stay in balance with the first mineral level. For example, when the calcium level rises in a person, the magnesium level will also rise. Because of this elevated magnesium level, the ratio between the calcium and the magnesium will stay relatively constant.



7. Mineral ratios will tend to improve first, before specific mineral levels will improve. This is why many levels will appear to get worse on a person's chart when they go on my program. Because of this, many people think that I don't know what I am doing. A person's calcium or sodium level may even decrease below normal when they go on my program. But if you look at their chart closely, another major mineral ratio probably vastly improved. This happens all the time. Remember, mineral ratios generally improve first. When they are balanced, then the levels will come into balance.



8. A given mineral can either raise or lower another mineral. For example, depending on a person's biochemistry, a certain mineral may raise another mineral in the body. And, at a different time, this same mineral may lower that other mineral.



9. The more a mineral level deviates from the required levels—in either direction—the less energy a person will have, regardless of how good their ratios appear to be.
