WHAT IS A HAIR ANALYSIS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What Is a Hair Analysis?
Let me share some details about what a hair analysis
is and the benefit to using a hair analysis in
health and wellness.
The protein in hair fiber holds the composition
of the body tissues for a permanent period. By
analyzing the hair fiber composition, one can
tell what toxins have accumulated in the body
tissues and what vitamins and minerals are depleted
or too abundant causing an imbalance in body function.
By detoxifying unnatural chemicals and by replacing
specific vitamins individual to your needs, proper
health can be restored through nutrition. The
human hair analysis can detail these levels.
Food Chemicals
My own hair analysis was an important part of
my natural healing from Grave's Disease. As with
any chemical in solution, food chemicals like
aspartame saturate the body with toxins that penetrate
the brain. Humans are polluted with over 14,000
food chemicals we may be exposed to daily. The
hair analysis is an excellent tool to identify
specific food toxins and vitamin and mineral deficiencies
caused by them.
As I discovered through my personal disease recovery,
I couldn't fight what I couldn't see. The hair
analysis is the best "road map" to see
a history of what's going on inside of the body.
Hair has the advantage of long-term memory. It's
a permanent record, like tree rings. A three-inch
strand of human hair will give a six-month history
of what's going on in the body since head hair
grows at a rate of about a half an inch a month.

DID YOU KNOW
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We Americans are on pace to spend nearly $200
billion on our meds this year. That's more than
the federal government paid last year for education,
agriculture, transportation, and the environment
combined.
Viagra was originally developed to treat angina;
that whole erection thing was just a pleasant
surprise. Prior to 1997, drug makers were required
to disclose so many side effects on their ads
as to make TV spots unworkable. So, new FDA rules
allow them to make their claims unimpeded as long
as they offer a phone number or Web site or reference
a magazine ad where consumers can get the fine
print.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WATCH OUT FOR EXCITOTOXINS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Excitotoxins are biochemical substances (usually
amino acids, amino acid analogs, or amino acid
derivatives) that can react with specialized neuronal
receptors in the brain or spinal cord in such
a way as to cause injury or death to a wide variety
of neurons.
Acute diseases and medical conditions such as
stroke, brain damage, reduced blood flow to the
brain, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, headaches,
prolonged epileptic seizures, hypoglycemic brain
damage, head trauma brain damage, and low oxygen
to no oxygen brain damage (e.g. from carbon monoxide
or cyanide poisoning, near-drowning, etc.) are
also believed to be caused, at least in part,
by excitotoxicity.
Physically, brain damage can be triggered from
acute conditions such as stroke, ischemia/hypoxia/anoxia,
severe hypoglycemia, spinal cord injury and head
trauma. Chemically, brain damage can be triggered
by chemical excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame,
resulting in the physical trauma above. Excitotoxicity
can occur in both acute and chronic (slowly developing)
forms.
It is interesting to note that Alzheimer's disease
is in
large part an excitotoxicity disease. Excitotoxins
in liquid forms are much more toxic than solid
forms because they are rapidly absorbed and attain
high concentration in the blood. This means that
many of the commercial soups, sauces and gravies
containing MSG are very dangerous to nervous system
health, and should especially be avoided by those
with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease and those
who are at a high risk of developing one of them.
They should also be avoided by cancer patients
and those at high risk for cancer, because of
the associated generation of free radicals and
lipid peroxidation.
As a general rule, it is suggested that persons
with either of
these diseases avoid MSG containing foods as well
as red meats, cheeses and pureed tomatoes, all
of which are known to have higher levels of glutamate.

L. Blaylock, MD.,

Q AND A WITH DR. JANET
STARR HULL
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To: jshull@sweetpoison.com
Subject: safe sweeteners?
Q) Hello, I do not eat sugar and sweets, and
I just recently gave up aspartame. It is really
hard to not eat anything sweet, and I was wondering
if there is any kind of sugar that is actually
unharmful to my health. Is
there any sugar I can use because nutrasweet and
splenda are harmful too?
A) Thanks for writing. And thanks for giving up
the aspartame and diet drinks. Any natural unprocessed
sugar is OK for you to use, even healthier for
diabetics. The body eats natural sugars as it
would any raw food. It processes the sugar as
fuel, burns calories to digest it, and then eliminates
the residuals instead of storing them as fat.
Natural sugars can be bought at the natural market
in bulk as Succanat or Turbinado. Fructose is
another choice, even though it is not my favorite
as it can get too involved in your insulin levels
if extracted and used too much. Stevia is an herb
from South America used to treat diabetes and
gum disease. It's very sweet and found in packets,
granules, and liquid form at the health stores.
Honey and molasses are also great natural sugars
that will burn as fuel in the body without fatty
wastes, and remember that you can savor the natural
tastes of foods as sweet all on their own, too.
Grains, fruits and veggies have a natural sweetness
that goes overlooked.
The best thing to do is stay away from the artificial
and chemical sweetener substitutes. They have
NO food value, trick the body into thinking it
is eating something sweet, and have by-products
of harmful toxic side effects. And remember that
aspartame was discovered as an ulcer drug, not
a sweetener. Every diet drink you used to drink
was a dose of medication !! UGH.
Good luck and stay healthy. The tip for 2003
.... drink plenty of bottled water and exercise!!
