SUE NELSON: DETOX PRACTITIONER
I originally studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for 4 years at the Brisbane College of Traditional Acupuncture and loved every minute of it! I studied both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal formulas.
My first clinic was in Gympie in 1989 (Oh, such a long time ago!). Having been a front-runner in the Australian Acupuncture profession, I have seen many changes over the past 4 decades, culminating in registration by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). My AHPRA number is CMR0001730958.
I sought my own Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis for the same reason that compels every patient: long-standing health issues unresolved by other therapies. In 2000, I consulted the late, great Geraldine Newbegin, a popular Gympie Naturopath, and had my first Hair Analysis and accompanying Detox Program, as prescribed by Geraldine, with amazing and dramatic results!
My own research since then has clearly shown me that every therapy, both mainstream and complementary, is hard work when the patient is harbouring toxins in every cell. And 25 years worth of Hair Test reviews has shown me this truth:
NOBODY ESCAPES THE TOXICITY OF THE 21ST CENTURY!
HISTORY OF HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS

ALL METABOLIC INFORMATION IS PRESERVED WITHIN THE
HAIR SHAFT
The use of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) for clinical purposes has existed for over 100 years, beginning as a Soil Science.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is used to analyse Hair: which turns out to be the perfect biopsy material! Prior to growth through the scalp, hair is exposed to circulating BLOOD, LYMPH and INTRACELLULAR FLUIDS.
Once protruding from the scalp, the cortex of the hair shaft hardens so that all metabolic information is wonderfully preserved within the shaft.
BLOOD vs HAIR
It’s a shame that so many people rely so heavily on doctor-prescribed BLOOD TESTS. After all, Blood is a transport system, not a storage system. And as a vital transport system, its drive is always towards HOMEOSTASIS.
In other words, Blood will always strive to be in near-perfect balance. It’s called HOMEOSTASIS.
For example, Calcium levels may be in the normal range in the Blood, while the Cells – and therefore Bones – may be starving of this vital mineral!
Blood will ‘steal’ minerals from the cells to nourish itself.
Similarly, Blood will dump Heavy Metals into the Cells rather than retain them.
LEAD, FOR EXAMPLE, IS UNDETECTABLE IN THE BLOOD 30-40 DAYS AFTER KNOWN EXPOSURE – because it has been ‘dumped’ into the Cells, mostly the BONES.

vs HAIR TEST

If you detect Lead in the Blood at a much later date than the initial exposure time, it indicates there is already Liver damage from long-term retention or, alternatively, there is ongoing Lead exposure.
A Blood test will not give a full picture of the metabolism, and it does not focus on the most vital and hard-working citizens of the body – THE CELLS!
On the other hand, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis – which can be done on any body tissue, but is done on Hair as a readily available, non-invasive and non-expensive test – gives the right interpreter a wealth of information about mineral levels, endocrine ratios and heavy metal priorities at the cellular level.
HAIR ANALYSIS TRAINING
DR DAVID L WATTS: MINERAL SYNERGIES AND ANTAGONISMS
After my own induction into Hair Testing in 2000, I had the revelation that good lifestyle habits are not enough when the body is sequestering Heavy Metals absorbed from our inevitably toxic world.

I read articles and books written by Dr David L Watts, the consulting physician for Trace Elements Inc. This is the laboratory in Texas that has been Hair Testing for decades for many countries all over the world, including Australia’s InterClinical Laboratories (ICL).
Dr Watts, among other HTMA researchers, has researched the optimum levels for minerals and heavy metals alike, and has arranged these levels in easy-to-read chart formats.
The HTMA chart also draws on the work of past researching pioneers by exploring the relationships between minerals, classifying them as either synergistic with, or antagonistic to, each other. For example, Zinc is synergistic with Vitamin C, but antagonistic to Copper.
HTMA charts also explore mineral inter-relationships for endocrine interpretations. For example, Calcium stimulates Insulin release from the Pancreas. Insulin, in turn, increases Calcium retention via the action of Parathyroid Hormone. So a Hair Test chart showing high ratios of Calcium/Potassium (>3:1) and Calcium/Magnesium (>14:1) indicates increased Insulin levels.
It is complex but the interpretive markers are there.
DR TABRIZIAN: CELLULAR BLOCKAGES FROM HEAVY METALS AND XENO-OESTROGENS
Dr Igor Tabrizian, of Perth, builds on the pioneering work done by Dr Watts and others. His work focuses on the damage done by Heavy Metals and Xeno-Oestrogens.

His research shows the way in which a Heavy Metal blocks the transfer of a mineral into the mitochondria of the Cell, leading to damage in 2 ways: Cell starvation of vital nutrients; and the damage done by ‘free-floating’ minerals in the Bloodstream.
An obvious example is Lead. If there is excess Lead in the Cells, the Lead will block the entry of Calcium by taking up the receptor site. Over a period of time, the locked-out Calcium has nowhere to go and there is a recycled stockpile of unbound Calcium. Unfortunately, it may end up in Arteries (Plaque), the Gall Bladder (Gallstones), the Kidneys (Kidney stones) and Joints (Arthritis and Gout). Or it may be wasted in urinary excretion, leaving the patient very low in vital Calcium stores.
THIS IS CALLED CALCIUM PRECIPITATION, AND IT IS VERY DAMAGING AND VERY COMMON!
Successful treatment involves safely clearing the Cells of the excess Lead, encouraging Calcium in the diet, and then – using supplements to nourish the Cells with Calcium – while the Cells are receptive to more Calcium and not blocked with Lead! This approach will protect the Cells from future Lead exposure. It will also educate the patient so that he or she is more aware of this problem in the future.
21 st CENTURY HEALTH ISSUES
XENO-OESTROGENS, RADIATION, FOOD INTOLERANCES AND GENETIC DEFECTS
There’s a great Chinese saying: “You can’t treat modern diseases with ancient cures”. This applies not just to ancient systems of medicine like TCM but also to the current dominant Western Medicine paradigm that has not kept up with research!
All therapists must quickly learn from the growing body of evidence – yes! – peer-reviewed scientific evidence – that our longevity is seriously threatened by unprecedented and urgent 21st century health issues. The irony is the the 6 Cell Damages are connected together, in my belief, and this is something which can be seen in a well-interpreted Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis.
XENO-OESTROGENS
Here’s a scenario:

A girl unwittingly inherited HIGH OESTROGEN from a mother or grandmother who took the Pill for decades, so the girl went on to suffer heavy painful Periods in puberty, a sure sign of ‘Oestrogen Dominance’.
Meanwhile, her father had been exposed to Cadmium and Mercury before her conception, resulting in the girl being born with low levels of Zinc right from the start (Zinc being antagonistic to Cadmium and Mercury, and therefore depleted due to protective overuse in the Cells). She suffered from Obesity and Digestive problems but didn’t understand why, as her diet was reasonable. Her Blood was never tested for Zinc deficiency – despite her numerous symptoms – and even if it was, it would not have shown the seriously depleted Cellular level due to the tendency of Blood homeostasis to pull all available Zinc from the Cells to the Blood.
When she was 12, she insisted on getting her own mobile phone which she used for at least 5 hours every day, exposing her to harmful EMF radiation. The Radiation damaged the Voltage Gated Calcium Channels of all Cells but especially her Heart and Nerve Cells. It adversely affected her Calcium stores, her Nerve impulses and her reduced Immunity Lymphocytes. The result was that her Zinc fell lower and lower to the point where she was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease and associated Leaky Gut at the age of 17.
Because of her bad moods and other symptoms (bad moods can be associated with ‘Oestrogen Dominance’), she was finally tested for Pyrroles, a genetic Blood disorder manifesting as a chronic lack of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6. Also, someone convinced her to have Methyl Cycle Genetic test, showing up a COMT gene defect that results in a poor clearance of Oestrogen from the body.

THIS GIRL IS CLEARLY A VICTIM OF 21ST CENTURY HEALTH PROBLEMS!
The annual Blood test simply will not cut it! So, it makes senses to use diagnostic tests that can pinpoint these hidden dangers in time.
The only good news from this scenario is that Xeno-Oestrogens and Heavy Metals – when identified in a Hair Test chart from the effects on antagonistic mineral and endocrine ratios – can be readily eliminated from the Cells with the help of a Detox super-product. These Xeno-Oestrogens and Heavy Metals also respond well to certain minerals and vitamins that are antagonistic to Oestrogen – see the page How It Works for more information.
EMF NON-Thermal RADIATION
EMF Non-thermal RADIATION is unavoidable in the modern world! Even if you make the individual choice not to use ‘Wireless’ or ‘Wifi’ gadgets in your home, office or school, you will still get zapped from other people’s mobile phones or from digital smart meters or wifi routers. And don’t even get me started on the introduction of 5G EMF phones and the plethora of EMF towers or the macabre satellites beaming us from space while we sleep…

FOOD INTOLERANCES
FOOD INTOLERANCES are multi-factorial and complex (but always involving a Leaky, inflamed Gut), and require intensive detoxing, dietary changes and nutrient supplementation.
GENETIC DEFECTS
GENETIC DEFECTS are just there from birth, perhaps more and more so with each succeeding toxic generation! But, with care – as in regular detoxes and nutrient balancing – you may avoid switching them on.
ACTIVATED ZEOLITE: THE VITAL DETOX INGREDIENT
After years of using the traditional chelating agents that can take up to 2 years to excrete Heavy Metals and Xeno-Oestrogens, I have found a new wonder supplement called ZEOLITE. The main advantage is that ZEOLITE – made from negatively charged volcanic mineral clay called CLINOPTILOLITE – can detox all HEAVY METALS in 3 months, on average, rather than 2 years! Also, it does not drain vital minerals or damage the Liver and Kidneys in the chelation process.
It is safe to use, and cost-effective. The brand supplied by Cell Detox Online is a type of ‘activated’ Zeolite, i.e. it has been cleaned meticulously and micronised to a size less than 1 MICRON, making it able to permeate the Gut wall and enter the Blood stream.
While in the Blood, it magnetically pulls all positive particles from Cellular waste into its crystalline cages and captures them there safely.

Captured Positive particles include Heavy Metals, Xeno-Oestrogens (chemicals come under this heading), Bacteria, Viral components, Fungal and Carcinogenic components. The loaded-up ZEOLITE CRYSTAL MOLECULE leaves the body via the urine 6-8 hours after ingestion.
Having used this supplement for 20 years, I have observed a very low incidence of side effects in patients! If there are any reported problems with the 3-month Cell Detox at any stage, I can monitor the patient and advise him or her on how to pull back and proceed ‘slowly’ to minimise any discomfort.
ZEOLITE has been recognised for its health benefits for centuries by indigenous cultures. Modern usage includes the use of ZEOLITE for water and air filtration, soil purification, and inclusion in animal feeds. Perhaps the most dramatic example is the use of ZEOLITE powder to soak up excess Radiation at Chernobyl!
IT TRULY TURNED OUT TO BE THE VITAL INGREDIENT IN MY CELL DETOX PROGRAMS!
Fortunately, I have been able to compare the before-and-after Hair Test charts to demonstrate the wonderful efficacy of this Detox agent. I believe I have all the components in place – including my expertise over the past 25 years of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis study and clinical use – for the best Cell Detox program that can be offered at this time.
