Hair Analysis is the basis of Dr. Prather's evaluation of a patient's mental health issues, because it is the best way to measure their body's mineral levels and heavy metal toxicities. In fact, Dr. Prather says that, if he can get a Hair Analysis on a patient, "probably 95% of the mental health issues go away". In this episode, find out:
—Why the hair reflects what is going on in the brain and in the nervous system. And the "transformative change in people's mental health" when you "get the minerals back in Homeostasis and the heavy metals out of the system".
—How the most common heavy metal toxicity Dr. Prather sees is Aluminum, which "poisons the brain" and is linked to Dementia, Alzheimer's, Osteoporosis, balance problems, aggressive behavior in children, ADHD, Autism, and Insomnia.
—The problems caused by Lead, Mercury, and Nickel for mental health. And why Dr. Prather says that Nickel is "even worse" than those toxicities and is always something he checks for on patients with severe upper motor neuron diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and ALS.
—The CDC study that showed 65% of all children have some sort of heavy metal toxicity. And how Dr. Prather has had "kids go from Special Ed. to Honors, just by getting their heavy metals out and balancing out their minerals".
—How an imbalance in the Copper-Zinc ratio can lead to issues like Anxiety, Attention Deficit, Dementia, Depression, and Insomnia. And how high Copper is more common in females than males.
—The link between high Manganese and Bi-Polar, Parkinson's symptoms, and tremors. And the importance of a proper Calcium-Magnesium ratio.
—Why Dr. Prather says that you can do everything possible, but are "never going to get a person's mental health issues under control until you get rid of those heavy metal toxicities".
—How Dr. Prather uses a gentle and natural detoxification process for heavy metal toxicities that is "much more effective" than Chelation, which can be damaging to the Kidneys and Liver and deplete the body of minerals.
—Why Amish men who do woodworking are in danger of high Arsenic levels, which can cause Anxiety, mood disorders, antagonistic personality, Depression, and Insomnia.
—Dr. Prather's surprising discovery about the importance of low Molybdenum, which can cause fatigue, Depression, and can cause someone to become so tired that they can't even sleep.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hi, I'm Lisa Praither and welcome to the Voice of
Health with our host, doctor Robert Praither of Holistic Integration,
where lives are changed every day through the natural approach
to healthcare. Hair analysis a key to better mental health.
And this month is mental health Awareness and we're going
(00:34):
to have a three part series on this.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And mental health mental health.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, and this week we're going to talk about hair
analysis and Dodger Prather. What exactly is hair analysis and
how does it work?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Well, you know, people sit there and I go, you know,
when they have a mental health issue, I say, we
need to do a hair analysis, and you know, they've
got a puzzled look on their face. And it's interesting
because just how important the hair analysis is the basis
of any time that I evaluate someone's mental health. The
(01:08):
basic type of thing is getting the hair analysis find
out if there's anything going on. The reason is is
because if you don't have the mineral tissues and the
heavy metals figured out, you're not going to fix someone's
mental health. So it's sort of like the underlying basics.
(01:29):
There's a lot of other things that we do for
mental health, but that is such a big key and
what the hair analysis shows is the tissue minerals, So
it's a very good way to find out what's in
the tissue. Basically, it shows up what's going on in
the nervous system in the brain. So the same things
(01:51):
that are going on in the hair are going on
in the brain and in the nerves. And it's basically
the minerals, because when you're talking about electrical conduction, it's
the minerals that make things the electrical conduction work.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
In our bodies, in our bodies.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So it's that type of in when you are sending electricity,
use metal to send electricity. So it kind of starts
to make sense. Yeah, where that is such a basic
type of a of an understanding of basically what's going
on in the in the nerve tissue, what are the
(02:30):
minerals that are actually involved. And then also the minerals
are the building blocks of the neurotransmitters. So understanding that
getting the minerals and the heavy metals, well, the minerals
back in homeostasis and the heavy metals out of the system,
it makes a very transformative change in people's mental health.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So the hair analysis is testing minerals in.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
The body tissue minerals.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Tissue minerals because you also have plans asthma and blood minerals,
so we also do blood tests along those lines. But
really to understand the tissue you need to do hair.
Hair is the easiest. You can do nails. You can
go on chip off a bit of the bone if
you want to, but people usually don't do that. People
(03:19):
seem to prefer hair.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Even if they don't have it. We can.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
If they are absolutely have no hair, we can do nails.
But you know, the easiest way is hair analysis.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Okay, and you said metals. It's that was interesting what
you said. It takes metals right to conduct well and
electricity right right?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Metals, Yeah, so that's all the Yeah, that's basically what
conducts it. So understanding that starts to make sense why
the minerals and heavy metals would be something that would
be extremely important.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So how does hair analysis become connected to mental health
and emotional well being?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well, it's a couple of different types of things. Is
if it's off, you know, as far as unbalanced, then
you have an imbalance and the conduction you also have.
The minerals are a precursor to all the transmitters, and
it's more common for the minerals to go off than
anything else. When you talk about minerals, the plants that
(04:32):
kind of give us the basis of our food system
can take carbon dioxide and water and make most of
the vitamins and fatty acids, but it has to take
the minerals out of the ground. The minerals aren't in
the ground, the plants can't get them, and if the
plants can't get them, the animals can't get them, and
(04:54):
then we become deficient in that. So the big thing
that they've always worked on that's been an important part
of the agriculture is making sure that you have mentals
in the ground to be able to grow the plants.
And one of the things is that we figured out
how to do fertilizer to get it into the system.
(05:16):
But they're not looking at optimal health. What they're looking
at is what will make the plant grow. So they
do the basics, so we start to have a mental
deficiencies that start to occur. If mental deficiencies actually occur,
then you also have a greater chance of accumulating heavy
metals because the natural mentals are necessary to achelate the
(05:39):
heavy metals out of our system, so that becomes a
real basis and that was one thing that was really
emphasized to us is that you really look at the mentals.
That's going to be a very important key and that's
something that's oftentimes missed by a lot of functional doctors,
is really understanding that. It's one of the things is
(06:03):
you know, I tell people everyone should have an annual
blood test, you know, that's just kind of given, but
really they also everyone needs an annual hair analysis.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, we say annual blood and hair and stool still.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
For everyone, mm hmm. I mean there's a lot of
other tests as you get older that need to be done,
but that's that's kind of like a basics and that's
something that I believe that everyone should have as a
basic to see what's going on.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, now, how did you first get involved or interested
in hair analysis?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, I took diplomat American Border Chiropractor internis with doctor
Cessna and he was the one. Well actually even in
school when we had we have excellent nutritionists and they
emphasize the minerals. You know, it's something that you really
need to look at. Understanding the agriculture and how that
all works. Basically, civilization's rise and fall according to the
(06:58):
ability of being able to feed the population. Law. When
you start to have falls of empires, it's usually based
on poor nutrition an.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
They start eating bugs.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, well yeah, I mean there's a whole thing as
far as civilizations were built on a grain and a
lugume if you actually look at that to get the
basic protein. But even beyond that, it's the minerals. And
when you deplete the soil. That's why Mesopotamian Egypt all
(07:29):
the river valleys were able to survive for long periods
of time because they always had a renewal of the
minerals into the soil. So understanding that fact on that
that was something that was put across by several people
who taught me that the minerals are really key along
those lines, and the best way to look at the
(07:51):
minerals is the heir analysis to see, you know, along
with the you know, you put them together. But the
hair analysis is really key, and that's something that isn't
really understood by most well by very few doctors.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So how reliable is the hair analysis.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Well, that's one of the things that has been an
important type of thing is finding the company that does
the best as far as on the hair analysis, and
the company that we use is out of Germany and
it's considered, you know, as far as the best along
those lines. I've used others, but it's very consistent, very accurate,
(08:31):
and very well regarded by scientists as a source of
checking on the hair.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
So what makes hair a more reliable source of information
than blood or urine in some cases?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Sure, what we're looking at is the tissue, and like blood,
it is urine is variable on what's going on, and
it actually looks at it in a different type of
manner what is actually circulating at that time. We also
look at red blood cells and several different things as
far as on the minerals, but it doesn't really give
us the tissue, and the blood doesn't have as big
(09:07):
of an effect on the mental state as the tissue
minerals that shows up what's actually going on in the
nervous system per se. So it's a very important thing.
We of course do a tremendous amount of blood work
on the minerals, but when we put them together, that's
when we get the complete picture.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, when you're saying tissue, explain that more to me.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well, you have your circulating minerals, which vary and it
can be different than the tissue minerals. The two are
not the same and oftentimes even will be opposite of
each other. Oh okay, So understanding how that works and
being able to interpret that exactly what that means is
(09:54):
something that we've been trained on so as it's definitely
an art.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So when we come back, we're going to talk about
the information that we extract from the hair, from the
hair analysis, what minerals we're looking at, what heavy metals.
We'll be right back. Does your group or organization need

This is the Voice of Health with doctor Robert Prather.
The Voice of Health Wellness tip featuring rapid release technology. Well,
let's talk about fascia restrictions. Fascia is kind of like
(10:43):
a shrink wrap that surrounds every muscle in our body,
and it can become dried out and lose elasticity, leading
to more tension and stiffness.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
One of the interesting things that they've been doing research,
and this has just come out within the last two years,
is that the fascia is one single organ. It's as
much of an organ as your liver, heart, or kidneys.
So all the fascia in your body is completely connected
with each other and intercommunicates with each other. It's the
main thing that determines your posture. Matter of fact, it
has a very big effect on the nervous system. So
(11:14):
as you can get the fashia back into alignment, it
can actually change how the nervous system works. And much
of the muscle is controlled by the fashion material, and
if you look at the low back, it just covers
the entire low back, so oftentimes your low back problems
is connected to the fashion material. Fascia is really where
rapid release comes through. One of my good friends, Warren Hammer,
(11:36):
that's his main thing is fascial. Actually, I introduced him
to the rapid release. He came to my office. I
was working on him doing some adjustments, and then I
took the rapid release and went over.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
And he goes, what is that.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
As soon as he saw the rapid release, it's just
revolutionized his treatment. Yeah, and that's the main thing he
teaches now is how to release fascia with rapid release.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
A lot of people are tight their glutes, the pure
formist syndrome. We'll get them in a prolonged stretch and
run the rapid release over that, just for a few minutes.
Big changes.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Oh yeah, it again revolutionizes fascial.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I can think of a patient who was severely depressed,
actually had been put on three antidepressants trying to get
that under control. We did the blood work. I don't
know why this wasn't picked up before, but they had
hyper parathyroid which was causing high calcium with a very
low vitamin D. As soon as we had things fixed up,
no antidepressants. I had a gentleman who came in who
(13:30):
said he was getting it on an antidepressant because he
was suicidal. And I said, well, you know that's important.
Let's get you on that, but let's also work on
your levator scalpulus because that's associated with the stress. Your
structure effects your function, and your function effects your structure.
So he became depressed, got locked into the muscles, and
when we released the muscles, he was no longer suicide.
(13:52):
And that's why structure function is important. You have to
put the two together to really get the best results.

Ah Wood.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You're listening to the Voice of Health with doctor Robert
Prather of Holistic Integration, the most comprehensive wellness center in
the Midwest. Hair analysis a key to better mental health
and Doctor Praith that we're talking about the hair analysis,
(15:08):
which we do at Holistic Integration and done for a
long time. Yeah, over thirty years, forty years. Forty time
flies when you're having fun. Yeah, So, what kind of
information can you extract from the hair What kind of
information are we getting from our hair analysis?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Well, the first thing is looking at the heavy metals
which are poisonous to the body, and understanding how much
they have an effect. Along those lines, a very common
one that we see, probably the most common heavy metal
that we see in people is high aluminum, And interestingly enough,
aluminium is a very good preservative.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, they use it in food, right.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah, So if you have a salad and you put
it out and leave it there for two hours. After
a little while, it's pretty wilted. If you spray it
with aluminum water, it'll look good for a couple of days.
So it's a very strong preservative and something that the
government has actually classified as an organic preservative. But aluminium
(16:19):
is actually a heavy metal and it poisons the brain.
So one of the things that we see, you know,
like they were bringing out that this could be a
cause of dimension and Alzheimer's. It definitely causes aluminium. It
can cause aggressive behavior in children. It can also be
one of the things that cause ADHD. We find it
quite a bit in autism. So it's something that can
(16:42):
really cause an awful lot of problems. Balance problems is
one of the things. Insomnia kicks it off, and so
it's a poison to the nervous system. That's one of
the places it accumulates.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
So we can find it in preserving.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Food, preserving food perspiration and you know, as far as yeah, antipersprists.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They're doing a lot better with that geodorance with that
are aluminium, right, because that goes right in the limp system.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Sure, So it's it's found in quite a few different
types of foods. It's usually the preservative and you can
actually see it on things where it says alum. That's
usually aluminum cookware watching out for that type of thing,
aluminum foil, and you cook it, you get it into
your food. So it's something that is a very common
type of thing. As a matter of fact, when you go
(17:32):
into the grocery store and you see all the vegetables
and stuff all lined up, and all of a sudden
there's a spray. They're spraying it with aluminum.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Water unless it's organic, right.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Well, no, actually aluminium is considered organic again by the government,
so it doesn't necessarily really you have to get it
almost like it from a farmer's market type of thing,
where we got our garden or your garden. But aluminum
is used on a very constant type of basis, and
it's something that can make a very big difference as
(18:05):
we get that out of people, you know, we see
insomnia go away, chronic insomnia could be caused by that.
There's a lot of other things that illuminum causes. It
causes osteoporosis, changes the calcium magnesium ratio in the body,
which then causes other different The calcium magnesium goes off.
That causes all sorts of mental types of confusion and things.
(18:28):
So aluminum, We've had people who were in severe dementia
and we detax their aluminum and they started to be
able to think again. So there's a possibility that it
actually starts to affect the glial cells. There's all sorts
of different types of toxins, so aluminum is really one
of the more common things that we see. Of course,
(18:50):
you know, as you're talking about having metals, the first
thing people mostly think about is lead, and we know
that lead causes a decrease in IQ. It also is
very much involved in attention deficit types of symptoms for children.
It becomes a real problem for the health and well
(19:10):
being of the entire system. It's a poison, so we
check on the lead, we check on mercury. Mercury, of course,
we know can cause some abnormal behavior, even schizophrenia type
of things. A very interesting story about mercury is that
Michael Jackson, he had some rather odd behavior going on,
(19:34):
and he had a vittleigo. So what he would do
is he would use a mercury compound and then rub
it on the skin because it would lighten it and
kind of bring it all back into a one tone.
And when they did an autopsy, he had a thousand
times higher mercury than what you should have for almost
(19:59):
a lethal dose.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
So a lot of his behavior was a mercury type
of situation. Interesting if you remember the mad hatter in
Alice in Wonderland mm hmm. One of the things that
was well known is hatters became crazy. They were wealthy,
but they became crazy. And what they would do is
they would use mercury to then rub on the hat
(20:23):
itself to make it shiny, and so they would have
mercury poisoning, and you would have mad hatters because they
were crazy because they were using mercury.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Well didn't her amalgam's fillings used to be made out
of mercury.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Sure, so bad anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
But the history behind mercury is that it was a
very famous medicine and there was a group of doctors
who would use mercury, especially for syphilis. They would give
people the mercury because we would keep the syphilis under
control and you could actually take mercury sniffet and your
sinence problems would just go away like that infection. So
(21:00):
mercury is anti infective, very effective anti infective, but it
makes you crazy. So what they did was they were
called quacken doctors, quack and silver. Quicksilver is what, of
course the other name for mercury is, and in German
it's quack and silver, and so they would shorten it
(21:22):
to quacks.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's where quacks came from.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
That's where quacks. It's doctors who gave mercury. And we
used to use gold because what you would do is
use gold because gold is the strongest antibiotic known to man.
So you'd put gold in your feelings and you wouldn't
get you wouldn't have to get root canals because the
gold would actually protect you from any type of infection.
(21:47):
Mercury did the same thing. And so there was a
whole big fight between the gold denis and the mercury denis,
and they formed the American Dental Association and that was
the Mercury DNNIS and then they thought a big battle
and mercury won at that time. Though now they've actually
agreed that mercury is extremely toxic and they shouldn't use
(22:09):
that in dental fillings anymore. But that's something that they
would put in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
And it affected Denis because they were handling it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
That's why Dennis had such a high divorce rate and
then also a high suicide rate because of the mercury
exposure that they had. So it starts to show up
in a lot of different types of ways, and there
are many different types of heavy metals on there that
you have to look at. Actually a very big toxic
(22:41):
one one that people don't talk about that's actually even
worse than mercury, lead an aluminum, is nickel.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Nickel.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Nickel actually has of the heavy metals, a much stronger
effect on the nervous system. Matter of fact, most of
our patients that come in with severe upper motor neuron
disease Jesus oftentimes will show up with high nickel. So
whenever nickels there, that's something that we have to get
rid of.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The Nickels made a lot of jewelry.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
A lot of jewelry. They actually use it oftentimes even
in dental feelings to kind of firm it up. So
it's something that the government has a whole big minder
on and they agree that nickel toxicity is probably the
worst of the toxicities.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And how often do you see that.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
It's rare, But anyone who shows up with that, we
always are very glad that we've picked it up, hopefully
before it actually starts uppermotoring neur on damage. But oftentimes,
whenever we're looking at someone with some type of severe
process upper motor you know, some type of brain disease
or something ms als, all those types of things, we
(23:50):
always look for the nickel and if we can get
that out, then we can see some changes that actually occur.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I want to go back to lead because they did
a big push no lead and paint. Have you seen
a change over the forty years with less exicity.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Did make a big difference. One thing is lead used
to be in guessoline?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh yeah, so unleaded.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
It's all in leaded. But we were putting out a
tremendous amount. And of course what we were seeing is
that the children who had the most exposure to lead
had a much lower IQ, so learning disabilities is one
of the big things. And just talking about children, that's
a very important point is that they've done a study.
(24:35):
The CZC did a study on children and found that
sixty five percent of all children had heavy metal toxicity
that they could find.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Wow, sixty sixty So do they absorb it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
They absorbit faster and it actually will then go into
the blood brain barrier easier than children, and boys will
absorb it and go to the brain quicker than girls
because of their physiology. Interesting, so boys are more sensitive
to heavy metal toxicity. And really, you know, as you're
(25:09):
looking at that, one of the easiest types of checks
that we do, you know, just as on babies and children,
just to get their health back, children respond very quickly.
So if you just get their hair analysis balanced out,
get the heavy metals out, it really makes a big
difference as far as on learning the intelligence. I've had
kids go from special ad to honors just by getting
(25:34):
their heavy metals out and balancing out their mentals. Right,
So if you're looking to make your kids smarter and
better behaved, that they're in happier.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, and they don't mind taking the hair they you know.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's right, it's not as traumatic as the blood blood. Yeah,
we like to do that.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Okay, when we come back, we're going to talk about
more of what kind of information that we're getting from
the hair analysis. Very interesting on the heavy metals that
we've been talking about, and then minerals will be right back.

I don't understand nutrition. I heard a nutritionists on the
radio saying something like you should eat breakfast like a king,
lunch like a prince, and dinner like a popper. And
I think I wrote it down wrong because I eat
breakfast like a king, lunch like a hippopotamus, dinner like an.

The Voice of Health Wellness Tip featuring Meredith Sharp of
TALLOWLLC and Planifhulopathecary, this is your business. You started the business.
It's a woman owned business here on the east side
of Indianapolis. Talk a little bit about the business.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
We are on the rural east side of Indianapolis, out
near New Palestine. Several years ago, I started making my
own natural health and body care products because I was
so disenchanted with what mainstream products contained in them. They
just didn't feel natural to be putting on my body,
So I thought there had to be a better way.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know, there's a lot of tallow out there, and
we're hearing a lot about tallow. What makes your tallow
different than the others?
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Tallow really has become a household word now. People understand
that it is very popular in skincare. But I think
it is important for people to realize that there is
a huge difference in the quality of different tallow bombs.
What sets us apart is that we grow a lot
of the plants that are in our products. We know
that when we grow them, we have complete control when
(28:28):
we harvest them. Really, for plants to be the most
medicinally potent, they should only be harvested when they're in bloom.
I feel like that very much sets us apart right there.
But then number two, we only source one hundred percent
grass fed and finished tallow and when you source it
that way, it has the same vitamin spectrum as our
own skin. So we're delivering vitamins A, d EKB twelve
(28:53):
as well as CLA directly into the skin, so it
really doesn't matter environmentally, whatever your skin is going through,
can really start to balance your skin's complexion, rashes, all
kinds of skin issues.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Doctor g the Moons, I got up bag love you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I'm Lisa Prather and you're listening to the Voice of
Health with doctor Robert Prether of Holistic Integration where we
get to the root cause of your health issue. Hair
analysis a key to better mental health, and doctor Prether,
we talked about the heavy metals that are checked. Very
(30:59):
interesting that you're seeing a big rise in an aluminum toxicity,
and we talked about the heavy metals. Let's talk about
the minerals that are shown.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Sure, as far as some of the things.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Right from the analysis, Probably.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
One of the biggest ones is copper zinc and copper
zinc ratio.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I know that one. Well, yeah, you're always checking that
one on me. Yeah, fact, I'm due for my hair analysis.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, it's something that you had a tendency to go
high on copper and low on zinc. Now, easy way
to think about this in the way I describe it
to people is when you're talking about electrical wires, you
put in copper and that increases the speed and the
intensity of the electricity. You add zinc in it to
(31:46):
actually slow down the electricity and reduce the heat. It's
the same thing in our nervous system. So if you
go out of balance where the copper goes high, anxiety
is a big thing that occurs. Attention to dementia, depression, insomnia,
There's all sorts of nasty things that start to occur
(32:07):
when that happens. So we find that on people and
we get that changed around. An example is as I
had one young girl. It's more common in females than
in males.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Any theory on that.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
The copper is considered very yen and zinc is considered yang,
so you know you kind of look at that and
very definitely there's an increase in females along those lines
where they seem to absorb the copper quicker than males do.
The copper is something that will kind of it makes
(32:43):
you nervous, agitated. A lot of girls who have high copper,
and if boys have it, they're even worse, are usually
on ADHD medications.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
You know, I was just thinking too, some of these
IUDs are copper base.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, because it also changes the hormones. So it's a
big thing with pms. As we've gotten people's women's especially
their copper's inc ratio, all of a sudden they balance
out tremendously.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
You know what makes me think too, with the imbalance
that copper increases that sympathetic yes response.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Copper is if you're looking at the nervous system, Copper
is sympathetic, zinc is parasympathetic. Interesting, so it's an interesting
type of a aspect. So you know, getting those balance, Yeah,
I've had I can't tell you how many young girls
wear The mom brought them in said, you know, she's
we're really looking at some educational problems. You know, they
(33:43):
want to put her on Riddlin or Concerto or one
of those different types of products to help them to
think better. I don't want them to be on that.
What can you do in this situation? And we do
the hair analysis, find the high copper, and as long
as we keep that under control, it's something that they
do very very well with. We just see a whole
change in their academic performance, in their personality. You know,
(34:07):
it's like, what happened to my little girl? She's not
behaving normally in social situations.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, there's been such an increase in anxiety, you know,
so much of these imbalances that you find in heir
analysis affect that anxiety depression.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
The other thing is manganese. Manganese if it goes high,
will actually cause bipolar or it can also cause Parkinson's
Parkinson's like symptoms. It can also cause trumors. So that's
a very important thing. You don't want the manganese to
go low, and you don't want the manganese to go high.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
It's all a balance balance.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
It's just like with copper. You don't want too low
copper because that will affect the immune system, the hormones,
and actually the integrity of the arteries. So that's why
we talk about is everything in homeostasis. Homeostasis is well.
Balance is homeostasis, and homeostasis is health. The calcium magnesium
(35:10):
ratio is very important.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
You know. Magnesium. Yeah, now there's a lot being said
about magnesium. Let's talk about that.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Well, magnesium is something that well, calcium and magnesium is
definitely oftentimes a deficiency, so we're not getting enough minerals
and both of them can cause problems. So the calcium
actually gives us the tension in the muscles, you know,
as far as if you're talking about digestion, you've got
the magnesium which relaxes things so that it helps out
(35:43):
with if you have constipation. But if you go too
low in calcium, then you're not really it increases the
motility and you don't digest your food. You see what
I'm saying. But the calcium magnesium work and balanced along
those lines, so you need to raise both of them,
along with phosphorus also has an influence on that. So
(36:04):
looking at that balance and getting that up is something
that we can look at and say, well, we really
need to raise it up your calcium or we really
need to raise up your magnesium and phosphorus and get
that all where it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, there seems to be a real push on magnesium.
Everybody take magnesium. But what would you say to that, Well,
first get a hair analysis, see what the levels are.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Sure, and sometimes the magnesium can actually cause more problems
than it helps, because magnesium is antagonistic to calcium. If
you go too low on calcium, then that causes problems.
Magnesium is also antagonistic to manganese. If you take magnesium,
it'll drop the manganese.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Oh okay, so that lot of man.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, I know it always gets everybody confused, like you know,
I heard about you know they heard about this and
that people start taking stuff. But it's like no, no, no,
it has to be balanced. Yes, that's why you need
someone who is a functional doctor who will do all
the tests, find out where.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
You are, understand and then maintain that.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Type of thing and tell you how to work it
so you know, that's where that benefit comes from. And
that way you can keep everything into a proper balance.
Pick up if there's some heavy metals that come in
and get those out and then get the minerals all
balance out, so heavy metals down, getting the minerals all
(37:30):
balanced out into their homeostasis and really makes everything work well.
And as I said, with mental health, if you don't,
if someone has heavy metals, you can do everything possible,
and you're never going to get it under control unless
you get rid of those heavy metals.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, and just thinking of mental health, what's going on
physiologically RIGHTO is very important looking at the whole person, right, I.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Mean, whenever you know you because you've got serotonin, the dopamine,
the GABA, and on and on and on, as far
as all the neural transmitters. And the pharmaceutical industry is
giving things either blocking or adding or hitting those types
of things, but they're not asking why because the body
should normally balance it out. And then as you sit
(38:21):
there and give the pharmaceuticals, the problem with taking the
pharmaceuticals is eventually they don't work anymore and you have
to change or up them because the underlying imbalance is
still there and it will break down eventually. Pharmaceuticals are
never an answer there could stop gap. You know, in
(38:45):
critical situations they can be extremely beneficial, but what you
want to do is find out what is the underlying clause.
And there can be many different types of things, and
there's a lot of things that we look at, but
the first thing I always start with is a hair analysis,
because if I can get the hair analysis, probably ninety
(39:06):
five percent of the mental health issues go away. Wow,
ninety five percent you see a doramatic difference. But we
get into some other different types of tests along those lines,
and oftentimes there are things that need to be done
as far as I'm counseling and psychology and psychiatry feedback
(39:27):
and getting those things going, But you're not going to
make those progresses really until you get the hair analysis
balanced out.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Okay, when we come back, we're going to talk about
the process for someone to go through the hair analysis.
And you have some things that patients you know that
you've seen in their progress. We're going to talk about
those stories. Will be right back. Never miss an episode

imbalances in your gut, and disruptions in your hormones could
be contributing to your mental health struggles. Join us for
a free holistic integration educational seminar More Than Mental because
(40:47):
there's more to mental health than meets the mind. Wednesday,
May twenty eighth at six thirty pm you'll hear from
doctor Robert Preyther, host of The Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
One of the things that is really really good that
I give to people who are in mental health crisis
situations or mental health issues is back flowers. There's thirty
eight of them, and what doctor Bach found is that
when people get around flowers, like you go to funeral
homes and there's flowers all over the place, people calm down.
(41:17):
He was able to extract the essences of those flowers,
give them to people and their mental health would improve.
And so backflowers are one of the main things that
we use for mental health and well being, and it
really really works quite well. We also have other different
kinds of flowers now we have Australian flowers, we have
garden flowers, so we've been able to expand it quite
(41:38):
a bit further. What's nice about it is there aren't
any side effects, and we can get some very very
dramatic changes. My first experience with TMJ was a friend
of mine who wasn't in chiropractic school that I knew
down in Atlanta, and he had actually tried to commit
suicide three times. It wasn't that there was something wrong
with him in particular, but the jopping and get so
(42:00):
bad that people will actually try to take their lives.
And I was trying to find someone who actually knew
what they were doing. But all the people that I
found that were experts on it. He says, I've already
been there, and I developed some techniques along those lines
for adjusting and working with it and got him down
to the point that it was very tolerable. He says,
I'm staying with you you're the only one who's helped me.
I still have modified it, made it actually better, but
(42:23):
the same techniques that I have was the techniques that
I actually used on him I learned under fire. I
felt like I was under a lot of stress to
figure that out and spent a lot of time working
on it. Cluster headaches are the rarest of headaches, so
they also call them the suicide headache. I have had
two men who were in my parking lot who had
a gun on their lap with their wife coming in saying,
(42:46):
can you help my husband? If not, he's going to
kill himself, and we were able to get each of
those cleared up of their headache before they left. Cluster headaches,
one of the biggest things that's very important is a
specific upper cervical adjustment. I perform the outlass orthogonal upper
cervical adjustment. The specific upper cervical adjustment. As someone who
(43:08):
does that really well gets that outlass exactly placed right
is the only way that you can really get cluster
headaches gone. Every cluster headache patient that's followed through with
our care has gotten complete relief where they didn't have
a reoccurrence of the cluster headaches.

(44:07):
listening to the Voice of Health with doctor Robert Praither
of Holistic Integration, where our mission is restoring hope to
our patients. Hair analysis a key to better mental health
and doctor Praythro we're talking about, you know, what is
the process for someone who wants to get a hair
analysis done.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
We take them in as a new patient and do
the exam all the different types of things that are necessary,
and they sit there and a lot of them come
in and say, I'd really like to get that hair
analysis done, and so it's a matter of it's actually
a very small amount usually on the back of the neck,
you don't really see it. I have an interesting story
(44:49):
with that. I had one gal who was a sixteen
sixteen year old girl and she was a professional model,
and the big thing was her hair had this reddish brown, beautiful,
very thick hair. And mom brought her in for some
anxiety things along those lines, which she wound up having
copper toxicity, which we were able to.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Help her with.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
But she came in and I sat there and I said, well,
you know, with this type of we really need to
do hair analysis. And I saw her straightened up, like,
you know, are you really going to touch my hair?
And and Mom even kind of rolled her eyes, and
(45:34):
I said, well, you know, it's not a big deal,
and you know, let's go on back and have your
hair analysis done. And we're walking back and we're going
to go in a room, and one of my other
patients just came out of that room, not sure what
he was there for. He was completely bald. And I
sat there and I said, and he just had his
(45:55):
hair analysis done.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
She started trauma.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
She started to hyperventilate, and Mom said, he's having fun
with you.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Sometimes people don't know how to take you let you.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Know that mom knew because Mom was kind of rolling
her eyes too as far as on her hair, and
so you know, she kind of actually she relaxed a
lot after that because she was uptight, you know, kind
of like a funny. But no, I mean, you couldn't tell.
And I said, to see you couldn't tell? She said,
what that was mean?
Speaker 1 (46:33):
I want to make sure people know you're not the
one cutting.
Speaker 3 (46:35):
Their I are not the one cutting their hair. People
are Yeah, are you saying I wouldn't be that good?
Speaker 1 (46:44):
So how long does it take to get results and
how should the results be interpreted?
Speaker 3 (46:49):
It takes about two weeks to get the results back.
And really it's something that I've trained my staff on
how to interpret it, and we have a very definite
way of doing it. You can't really read it in
any books. People try to do it on their own,
and it's not good because some of the things are
contraintuitive on what's showing up. So oftentimes when you go
(47:13):
really high on calcium, you actually need calcium, and all
of a sudden it drops back down. Yeah, So you
have to be able to interpret exactly what's going on
with the minerals, you know, to really be able to
understand what's happening and how to kind of.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
Work with it.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
So can the hair analysis identify I think we've answered this,
but I want to make sure patterns related to anxiety, depression,
or mood disorders.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Oh yeah, schizophrenia, I mean everything that you're talking about. Anxiety,
of course is one of the biggest ones that we
deal with. So the things that we oftentimes with see
with anxiety is copper. Copper toxicity is something that can
really cause anxiety when.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Copper high where the copy is high.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
Yeah, so the copper goes high, zinc goes low, and
everything's magnified.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Now you always talk about we get it out. Does
that mean you're detaxing detoxing.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
About someone comes in does a hair analysis. Sure, I'm
one of these because I can go high copper and
low zinc. Sure, and so you're detaxeing the copper. But
giving zinc is that correct?
Speaker 3 (48:25):
The zinc is antagonistic to the copper, so as you
increase the zinc, it will decrease the copper. We also
give a homeopathic So one of the things that medically
that they think about, Like I've had people with mercury
and lead and all sorts of different types of heavy metals,
and they think of kelation, you know, something along those lines.
(48:47):
And what we find is aculation is actually pretty hard
on the system. You have to really watch the kidneys.
It also takes out a lot of minerals out of
the system. Yeah, so you really have to supplement. Now.
What we do is we do a homeopathic copper, find
out which ones are actually we've got a choice of
quite a few, and then zinc is an antagonistic to it,
(49:10):
so we add the minerals in there. We also find
that cilantro is a real good detox er. There's zeolite.
There's a lot of different things that we have that
are binders for the copper to get it out of
the system, and we can do it without damaging the
liver or the kidneys or the different process.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Gentle details.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
It's a gentle detox. We find it much more effective,
much less of a problem than with the akilation. One
of the things that like with anxiety is arsenic. We
have quite a few people with arsenic. Arsenic is something
that they yeah in the air analysis and that has
(49:53):
a toxic it's very toxic. That's something that's a poison. Well,
mercury is a poison, leads to poison. All those are poison.
So Arsenic is something that we've had a lot of
people come in with anxiety, mood disorders, antagonistic depression actually occurs.
Insomnia is a huge thing with arsenic and arsenic they
(50:16):
use it in a lot of pesticides.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
One of the things that we found is that we've
had several Amish gentlemen who work in the woodworking. So
what they do is they put arsenic into the woods
so the termites don't eat it for long term, and
then they go in there and they use the saws
and you know, the dust goes up in the air
and they breathe it in and they're breathing in arsenic.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
So one of the things we did was made sure
that they had masks, you know, gas masks. I mean,
they really need to watch that real closely because it
actually was causing them to be It can cause you
to be violent. We actually, well, my staff were like, wow,
this guy is just you know, not fun to deal with.
(51:02):
You know, his wife seems to be good. She's bringing
him in here usually to try to get him calm. Down,
but you know, he's mad about everything, and then we
do the arsenic detox and it's like, oh, that's what
he's actually really like.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah, we've had it's amazing to see.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
The personality change.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:25):
And of course if it gets you know, bad enough,
I mean, you know, it's a poison that can really
cause a huge amount of problems for your health and wellbeing.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
So we're constantly looking at those types of things and
each one of those heavy metals we can actually do that,
and we know which medals to help to put in.
Sometimes the calcium magnesium can be really important, but you
need to know which ones are going to help and
which ones are going to hinder that. So it's a
balancing act.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
Are there any surprising discoveries you've made through here analysis
in your practice.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
Well, one of the things that really wasn't emphasized when
I was going through as far as on training was
molbdimum was what mollibidum olibdment and that well it's it's
a mineral, it's a micronutrient, but that has a lot
(52:19):
to do with fatigue and can even lead to depression.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
Oh I see that go out in our office.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah, sure, sure, what you're talking about, and what happens
is the mitochondria which actually makes the energy. If the
molibdum goes low, then that really starts to shut down
and then people become extremely fatigued. There's depression, you get
so tired that you can't sleep, which is an interesting
type of thing. But that was one thing that we
(52:45):
hadn't talked about and one thing that I figured out,
and at first I didn't really think it was that important,
but then all of a sudden, I said, well, you
know this molybdumen is low, Let's go ahead and add
that into the system and see how that does. And
it was just like this big turnaround.
Speaker 1 (53:03):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
So you know, looking at those types of things and
it really can make a big difference. But that was
an interesting discovery.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
Yeah. Well, thank you doctor Prayther. Very informative as always,
and I am going to get my hair.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
Analysis done today, good girl.

Hi, I'm Lisa Praither and welcome to the Voice of
Health with our host, doctor Robert Praither of Holistic Integration,
where lives are changed every day through the natural approach
to healthcare. Hair analysis a key to better mental health.
And this month is mental health Awareness and we're going
(00:34):
to have a three part series on this.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And mental health mental health.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, and this week we're going to talk about hair
analysis and Dodger Prather. What exactly is hair analysis and
how does it work?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Well, you know, people sit there and I go, you know,
when they have a mental health issue, I say, we
need to do a hair analysis, and you know, they've
got a puzzled look on their face. And it's interesting
because just how important the hair analysis is the basis
of any time that I evaluate someone's mental health. The
(01:08):
basic type of thing is getting the hair analysis find
out if there's anything going on. The reason is is
because if you don't have the mineral tissues and the
heavy metals figured out, you're not going to fix someone's
mental health. So it's sort of like the underlying basics.
(01:29):
There's a lot of other things that we do for
mental health, but that is such a big key and
what the hair analysis shows is the tissue minerals, So
it's a very good way to find out what's in
the tissue. Basically, it shows up what's going on in
the nervous system in the brain. So the same things
(01:51):
that are going on in the hair are going on
in the brain and in the nerves. And it's basically
the minerals, because when you're talking about electrical conduction, it's
the minerals that make things the electrical conduction work.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
In our bodies, in our bodies.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So it's that type of in when you are sending electricity,
use metal to send electricity. So it kind of starts
to make sense. Yeah, where that is such a basic
type of a of an understanding of basically what's going
on in the in the nerve tissue, what are the
(02:30):
minerals that are actually involved. And then also the minerals
are the building blocks of the neurotransmitters. So understanding that
getting the minerals and the heavy metals, well, the minerals
back in homeostasis and the heavy metals out of the system,
it makes a very transformative change in people's mental health.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So the hair analysis is testing minerals in.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
The body tissue minerals.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Tissue minerals because you also have plans asthma and blood minerals,
so we also do blood tests along those lines. But
really to understand the tissue you need to do hair.
Hair is the easiest. You can do nails. You can
go on chip off a bit of the bone if
you want to, but people usually don't do that. People
(03:19):
seem to prefer hair.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Even if they don't have it. We can.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
If they are absolutely have no hair, we can do nails.
But you know, the easiest way is hair analysis.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Okay, and you said metals. It's that was interesting what
you said. It takes metals right to conduct well and
electricity right right?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Metals, Yeah, so that's all the Yeah, that's basically what
conducts it. So understanding that starts to make sense why
the minerals and heavy metals would be something that would
be extremely important.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So how does hair analysis become connected to mental health
and emotional well being?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well, it's a couple of different types of things. Is
if it's off, you know, as far as unbalanced, then
you have an imbalance and the conduction you also have.
The minerals are a precursor to all the transmitters, and
it's more common for the minerals to go off than
anything else. When you talk about minerals, the plants that
(04:32):
kind of give us the basis of our food system
can take carbon dioxide and water and make most of
the vitamins and fatty acids, but it has to take
the minerals out of the ground. The minerals aren't in
the ground, the plants can't get them, and if the
plants can't get them, the animals can't get them, and
(04:54):
then we become deficient in that. So the big thing
that they've always worked on that's been an important part
of the agriculture is making sure that you have mentals
in the ground to be able to grow the plants.
And one of the things is that we figured out
how to do fertilizer to get it into the system.
(05:16):
But they're not looking at optimal health. What they're looking
at is what will make the plant grow. So they
do the basics, so we start to have a mental
deficiencies that start to occur. If mental deficiencies actually occur,
then you also have a greater chance of accumulating heavy
metals because the natural mentals are necessary to achelate the
(05:39):
heavy metals out of our system, so that becomes a
real basis and that was one thing that was really
emphasized to us is that you really look at the mentals.
That's going to be a very important key and that's
something that's oftentimes missed by a lot of functional doctors,
is really understanding that. It's one of the things is
(06:03):
you know, I tell people everyone should have an annual
blood test, you know, that's just kind of given, but
really they also everyone needs an annual hair analysis.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, we say annual blood and hair and stool still.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
For everyone, mm hmm. I mean there's a lot of
other tests as you get older that need to be done,
but that's that's kind of like a basics and that's
something that I believe that everyone should have as a
basic to see what's going on.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, now, how did you first get involved or interested
in hair analysis?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, I took diplomat American Border Chiropractor internis with doctor
Cessna and he was the one. Well actually even in
school when we had we have excellent nutritionists and they
emphasize the minerals. You know, it's something that you really
need to look at. Understanding the agriculture and how that
all works. Basically, civilization's rise and fall according to the
(06:58):
ability of being able to feed the population. Law. When
you start to have falls of empires, it's usually based
on poor nutrition an.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
They start eating bugs.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, well yeah, I mean there's a whole thing as
far as civilizations were built on a grain and a
lugume if you actually look at that to get the
basic protein. But even beyond that, it's the minerals. And
when you deplete the soil. That's why Mesopotamian Egypt all
(07:29):
the river valleys were able to survive for long periods
of time because they always had a renewal of the
minerals into the soil. So understanding that fact on that
that was something that was put across by several people
who taught me that the minerals are really key along
those lines, and the best way to look at the
(07:51):
minerals is the heir analysis to see, you know, along
with the you know, you put them together. But the
hair analysis is really key, and that's something that isn't
really understood by most well by very few doctors.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So how reliable is the hair analysis.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Well, that's one of the things that has been an
important type of thing is finding the company that does
the best as far as on the hair analysis, and
the company that we use is out of Germany and
it's considered, you know, as far as the best along
those lines. I've used others, but it's very consistent, very accurate,
(08:31):
and very well regarded by scientists as a source of
checking on the hair.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
So what makes hair a more reliable source of information
than blood or urine in some cases?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Sure, what we're looking at is the tissue, and like blood,
it is urine is variable on what's going on, and
it actually looks at it in a different type of
manner what is actually circulating at that time. We also
look at red blood cells and several different things as
far as on the minerals, but it doesn't really give
us the tissue, and the blood doesn't have as big
(09:07):
of an effect on the mental state as the tissue
minerals that shows up what's actually going on in the
nervous system per se. So it's a very important thing.
We of course do a tremendous amount of blood work
on the minerals, but when we put them together, that's
when we get the complete picture.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, when you're saying tissue, explain that more to me.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well, you have your circulating minerals, which vary and it
can be different than the tissue minerals. The two are
not the same and oftentimes even will be opposite of
each other. Oh okay, So understanding how that works and
being able to interpret that exactly what that means is
(09:54):
something that we've been trained on so as it's definitely
an art.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So when we come back, we're going to talk about
the information that we extract from the hair, from the
hair analysis, what minerals we're looking at, what heavy metals.
We'll be right back. Does your group or organization need

The Voice of Health Wellness tip featuring rapid release technology. Well,
let's talk about fascia restrictions. Fascia is kind of like
(10:43):
a shrink wrap that surrounds every muscle in our body,
and it can become dried out and lose elasticity, leading
to more tension and stiffness.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
One of the interesting things that they've been doing research,
and this has just come out within the last two years,
is that the fascia is one single organ. It's as
much of an organ as your liver, heart, or kidneys.
So all the fascia in your body is completely connected
with each other and intercommunicates with each other. It's the
main thing that determines your posture. Matter of fact, it
has a very big effect on the nervous system. So
(11:14):
as you can get the fashia back into alignment, it
can actually change how the nervous system works. And much
of the muscle is controlled by the fashion material, and
if you look at the low back, it just covers
the entire low back, so oftentimes your low back problems
is connected to the fashion material. Fascia is really where
rapid release comes through. One of my good friends, Warren Hammer,
(11:36):
that's his main thing is fascial. Actually, I introduced him
to the rapid release. He came to my office. I
was working on him doing some adjustments, and then I
took the rapid release and went over.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
And he goes, what is that.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
As soon as he saw the rapid release, it's just
revolutionized his treatment. Yeah, and that's the main thing he
teaches now is how to release fascia with rapid release.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
A lot of people are tight their glutes, the pure
formist syndrome. We'll get them in a prolonged stretch and
run the rapid release over that, just for a few minutes.
Big changes.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Oh yeah, it again revolutionizes fascial.

from doctor Robert Praither, host of the Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I can think of a patient who was severely depressed,
actually had been put on three antidepressants trying to get
that under control. We did the blood work. I don't
know why this wasn't picked up before, but they had
hyper parathyroid which was causing high calcium with a very
low vitamin D. As soon as we had things fixed up,
no antidepressants. I had a gentleman who came in who
(13:30):
said he was getting it on an antidepressant because he
was suicidal. And I said, well, you know that's important.
Let's get you on that, but let's also work on
your levator scalpulus because that's associated with the stress. Your
structure effects your function, and your function effects your structure.
So he became depressed, got locked into the muscles, and
when we released the muscles, he was no longer suicide.
(13:52):
And that's why structure function is important. You have to
put the two together to really get the best results.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
You're listening to the Voice of Health with doctor Robert
Prather of Holistic Integration, the most comprehensive wellness center in
the Midwest. Hair analysis a key to better mental health
and Doctor Praith that we're talking about the hair analysis,
(15:08):
which we do at Holistic Integration and done for a
long time. Yeah, over thirty years, forty years. Forty time
flies when you're having fun. Yeah, So, what kind of
information can you extract from the hair What kind of
information are we getting from our hair analysis?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Well, the first thing is looking at the heavy metals
which are poisonous to the body, and understanding how much
they have an effect. Along those lines, a very common
one that we see, probably the most common heavy metal
that we see in people is high aluminum, And interestingly enough,
aluminium is a very good preservative.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, they use it in food, right.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah, So if you have a salad and you put
it out and leave it there for two hours. After
a little while, it's pretty wilted. If you spray it
with aluminum water, it'll look good for a couple of days.
So it's a very strong preservative and something that the
government has actually classified as an organic preservative. But aluminium
(16:19):
is actually a heavy metal and it poisons the brain.
So one of the things that we see, you know,
like they were bringing out that this could be a
cause of dimension and Alzheimer's. It definitely causes aluminium. It
can cause aggressive behavior in children. It can also be
one of the things that cause ADHD. We find it
quite a bit in autism. So it's something that can
(16:42):
really cause an awful lot of problems. Balance problems is
one of the things. Insomnia kicks it off, and so
it's a poison to the nervous system. That's one of
the places it accumulates.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
So we can find it in preserving.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Food, preserving food perspiration and you know, as far as yeah, antipersprists.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They're doing a lot better with that geodorance with that
are aluminium, right, because that goes right in the limp system.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Sure, So it's it's found in quite a few different
types of foods. It's usually the preservative and you can
actually see it on things where it says alum. That's
usually aluminum cookware watching out for that type of thing,
aluminum foil, and you cook it, you get it into
your food. So it's something that is a very common
type of thing. As a matter of fact, when you go
(17:32):
into the grocery store and you see all the vegetables
and stuff all lined up, and all of a sudden
there's a spray. They're spraying it with aluminum.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Water unless it's organic, right.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Well, no, actually aluminium is considered organic again by the government,
so it doesn't necessarily really you have to get it
almost like it from a farmer's market type of thing,
where we got our garden or your garden. But aluminum
is used on a very constant type of basis, and
it's something that can make a very big difference as
(18:05):
we get that out of people, you know, we see
insomnia go away, chronic insomnia could be caused by that.
There's a lot of other things that illuminum causes. It
causes osteoporosis, changes the calcium magnesium ratio in the body,
which then causes other different The calcium magnesium goes off.
That causes all sorts of mental types of confusion and things.
(18:28):
So aluminum, We've had people who were in severe dementia
and we detax their aluminum and they started to be
able to think again. So there's a possibility that it
actually starts to affect the glial cells. There's all sorts
of different types of toxins, so aluminum is really one
of the more common things that we see. Of course,
(18:50):
you know, as you're talking about having metals, the first
thing people mostly think about is lead, and we know
that lead causes a decrease in IQ. It also is
very much involved in attention deficit types of symptoms for children.
It becomes a real problem for the health and well
(19:10):
being of the entire system. It's a poison, so we
check on the lead, we check on mercury. Mercury, of course,
we know can cause some abnormal behavior, even schizophrenia type
of things. A very interesting story about mercury is that
Michael Jackson, he had some rather odd behavior going on,
(19:34):
and he had a vittleigo. So what he would do
is he would use a mercury compound and then rub
it on the skin because it would lighten it and
kind of bring it all back into a one tone.
And when they did an autopsy, he had a thousand
times higher mercury than what you should have for almost
(19:59):
a lethal dose.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
So a lot of his behavior was a mercury type
of situation. Interesting if you remember the mad hatter in
Alice in Wonderland mm hmm. One of the things that
was well known is hatters became crazy. They were wealthy,
but they became crazy. And what they would do is
they would use mercury to then rub on the hat
(20:23):
itself to make it shiny, and so they would have
mercury poisoning, and you would have mad hatters because they
were crazy because they were using mercury.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Well didn't her amalgam's fillings used to be made out
of mercury.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Sure, so bad anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
But the history behind mercury is that it was a
very famous medicine and there was a group of doctors
who would use mercury, especially for syphilis. They would give
people the mercury because we would keep the syphilis under
control and you could actually take mercury sniffet and your
sinence problems would just go away like that infection. So
(21:00):
mercury is anti infective, very effective anti infective, but it
makes you crazy. So what they did was they were
called quacken doctors, quack and silver. Quicksilver is what, of
course the other name for mercury is, and in German
it's quack and silver, and so they would shorten it
(21:22):
to quacks.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's where quacks came from.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
That's where quacks. It's doctors who gave mercury. And we
used to use gold because what you would do is
use gold because gold is the strongest antibiotic known to man.
So you'd put gold in your feelings and you wouldn't
get you wouldn't have to get root canals because the
gold would actually protect you from any type of infection.
(21:47):
Mercury did the same thing. And so there was a
whole big fight between the gold denis and the mercury denis,
and they formed the American Dental Association and that was
the Mercury DNNIS and then they thought a big battle
and mercury won at that time. Though now they've actually
agreed that mercury is extremely toxic and they shouldn't use
(22:09):
that in dental fillings anymore. But that's something that they
would put in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
And it affected Denis because they were handling it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
That's why Dennis had such a high divorce rate and
then also a high suicide rate because of the mercury
exposure that they had. So it starts to show up
in a lot of different types of ways, and there
are many different types of heavy metals on there that
you have to look at. Actually a very big toxic
(22:41):
one one that people don't talk about that's actually even
worse than mercury, lead an aluminum, is nickel.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Nickel.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Nickel actually has of the heavy metals, a much stronger
effect on the nervous system. Matter of fact, most of
our patients that come in with severe upper motor neuron
disease Jesus oftentimes will show up with high nickel. So
whenever nickels there, that's something that we have to get
rid of.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The Nickels made a lot of jewelry.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
A lot of jewelry. They actually use it oftentimes even
in dental feelings to kind of firm it up. So
it's something that the government has a whole big minder
on and they agree that nickel toxicity is probably the
worst of the toxicities.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And how often do you see that.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
It's rare, But anyone who shows up with that, we
always are very glad that we've picked it up, hopefully
before it actually starts uppermotoring neur on damage. But oftentimes,
whenever we're looking at someone with some type of severe
process upper motor you know, some type of brain disease
or something ms als, all those types of things, we
(23:50):
always look for the nickel and if we can get
that out, then we can see some changes that actually occur.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I want to go back to lead because they did
a big push no lead and paint. Have you seen
a change over the forty years with less exicity.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Did make a big difference. One thing is lead used
to be in guessoline?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh yeah, so unleaded.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
It's all in leaded. But we were putting out a
tremendous amount. And of course what we were seeing is
that the children who had the most exposure to lead
had a much lower IQ, so learning disabilities is one
of the big things. And just talking about children, that's
a very important point is that they've done a study.
(24:35):
The CZC did a study on children and found that
sixty five percent of all children had heavy metal toxicity
that they could find.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Wow, sixty sixty So do they absorb it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
They absorbit faster and it actually will then go into
the blood brain barrier easier than children, and boys will
absorb it and go to the brain quicker than girls
because of their physiology. Interesting, so boys are more sensitive
to heavy metal toxicity. And really, you know, as you're
(25:09):
looking at that, one of the easiest types of checks
that we do, you know, just as on babies and children,
just to get their health back, children respond very quickly.
So if you just get their hair analysis balanced out,
get the heavy metals out, it really makes a big
difference as far as on learning the intelligence. I've had
kids go from special ad to honors just by getting
(25:34):
their heavy metals out and balancing out their mentals. Right,
So if you're looking to make your kids smarter and
better behaved, that they're in happier.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, and they don't mind taking the hair they you know.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's right, it's not as traumatic as the blood blood. Yeah,
we like to do that.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Okay, when we come back, we're going to talk about
more of what kind of information that we're getting from
the hair analysis. Very interesting on the heavy metals that
we've been talking about, and then minerals will be right back.

The Voice of Health Wellness Tip featuring Meredith Sharp of
TALLOWLLC and Planifhulopathecary, this is your business. You started the business.
It's a woman owned business here on the east side
of Indianapolis. Talk a little bit about the business.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
We are on the rural east side of Indianapolis, out
near New Palestine. Several years ago, I started making my
own natural health and body care products because I was
so disenchanted with what mainstream products contained in them. They
just didn't feel natural to be putting on my body,
So I thought there had to be a better way.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know, there's a lot of tallow out there, and
we're hearing a lot about tallow. What makes your tallow
different than the others?
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Tallow really has become a household word now. People understand
that it is very popular in skincare. But I think
it is important for people to realize that there is
a huge difference in the quality of different tallow bombs.
What sets us apart is that we grow a lot
of the plants that are in our products. We know
that when we grow them, we have complete control when
(28:28):
we harvest them. Really, for plants to be the most
medicinally potent, they should only be harvested when they're in bloom.
I feel like that very much sets us apart right there.
But then number two, we only source one hundred percent
grass fed and finished tallow and when you source it
that way, it has the same vitamin spectrum as our
own skin. So we're delivering vitamins A, d EKB twelve
(28:53):
as well as CLA directly into the skin, so it
really doesn't matter environmentally, whatever your skin is going through,
can really start to balance your skin's complexion, rashes, all
kinds of skin issues.

analysis a key to better mental health, and doctor Prether,
we talked about the heavy metals that are checked. Very
(30:59):
interesting that you're seeing a big rise in an aluminum toxicity,
and we talked about the heavy metals. Let's talk about
the minerals that are shown.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Sure, as far as some of the things.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Right from the analysis, Probably.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
One of the biggest ones is copper zinc and copper
zinc ratio.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I know that one. Well, yeah, you're always checking that
one on me. Yeah, fact, I'm due for my hair analysis.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, it's something that you had a tendency to go
high on copper and low on zinc. Now, easy way
to think about this in the way I describe it
to people is when you're talking about electrical wires, you
put in copper and that increases the speed and the
intensity of the electricity. You add zinc in it to
(31:46):
actually slow down the electricity and reduce the heat. It's
the same thing in our nervous system. So if you
go out of balance where the copper goes high, anxiety
is a big thing that occurs. Attention to dementia, depression, insomnia,
There's all sorts of nasty things that start to occur
(32:07):
when that happens. So we find that on people and
we get that changed around. An example is as I
had one young girl. It's more common in females than
in males.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Any theory on that.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
The copper is considered very yen and zinc is considered yang,
so you know you kind of look at that and
very definitely there's an increase in females along those lines
where they seem to absorb the copper quicker than males do.
The copper is something that will kind of it makes
(32:43):
you nervous, agitated. A lot of girls who have high copper,
and if boys have it, they're even worse, are usually
on ADHD medications.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
You know, I was just thinking too, some of these
IUDs are copper base.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, because it also changes the hormones. So it's a
big thing with pms. As we've gotten people's women's especially
their copper's inc ratio, all of a sudden they balance
out tremendously.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
You know what makes me think too, with the imbalance
that copper increases that sympathetic yes response.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Copper is if you're looking at the nervous system, Copper
is sympathetic, zinc is parasympathetic. Interesting, so it's an interesting
type of a aspect. So you know, getting those balance, Yeah,
I've had I can't tell you how many young girls
wear The mom brought them in said, you know, she's
we're really looking at some educational problems. You know, they
(33:43):
want to put her on Riddlin or Concerto or one
of those different types of products to help them to
think better. I don't want them to be on that.
What can you do in this situation? And we do
the hair analysis, find the high copper, and as long
as we keep that under control, it's something that they
do very very well with. We just see a whole
change in their academic performance, in their personality. You know,
(34:07):
it's like, what happened to my little girl? She's not
behaving normally in social situations.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, there's been such an increase in anxiety, you know,
so much of these imbalances that you find in heir
analysis affect that anxiety depression.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
The other thing is manganese. Manganese if it goes high,
will actually cause bipolar or it can also cause Parkinson's
Parkinson's like symptoms. It can also cause trumors. So that's
a very important thing. You don't want the manganese to
go low, and you don't want the manganese to go high.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
It's all a balance balance.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
It's just like with copper. You don't want too low
copper because that will affect the immune system, the hormones,
and actually the integrity of the arteries. So that's why
we talk about is everything in homeostasis. Homeostasis is well.
Balance is homeostasis, and homeostasis is health. The calcium magnesium
(35:10):
ratio is very important.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
You know. Magnesium. Yeah, now there's a lot being said
about magnesium. Let's talk about that.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Well, magnesium is something that well, calcium and magnesium is
definitely oftentimes a deficiency, so we're not getting enough minerals
and both of them can cause problems. So the calcium
actually gives us the tension in the muscles, you know,
as far as if you're talking about digestion, you've got
the magnesium which relaxes things so that it helps out
(35:43):
with if you have constipation. But if you go too
low in calcium, then you're not really it increases the
motility and you don't digest your food. You see what
I'm saying. But the calcium magnesium work and balanced along
those lines, so you need to raise both of them,
along with phosphorus also has an influence on that. So
(36:04):
looking at that balance and getting that up is something
that we can look at and say, well, we really
need to raise it up your calcium or we really
need to raise up your magnesium and phosphorus and get
that all where it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, there seems to be a real push on magnesium.
Everybody take magnesium. But what would you say to that, Well,
first get a hair analysis, see what the levels are.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Sure, and sometimes the magnesium can actually cause more problems
than it helps, because magnesium is antagonistic to calcium. If
you go too low on calcium, then that causes problems.
Magnesium is also antagonistic to manganese. If you take magnesium,
it'll drop the manganese.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Oh okay, so that lot of man.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, I know it always gets everybody confused, like you know,
I heard about you know they heard about this and
that people start taking stuff. But it's like no, no, no,
it has to be balanced. Yes, that's why you need
someone who is a functional doctor who will do all
the tests, find out where.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
You are, understand and then maintain that.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Type of thing and tell you how to work it
so you know, that's where that benefit comes from. And
that way you can keep everything into a proper balance.
Pick up if there's some heavy metals that come in
and get those out and then get the minerals all
balance out, so heavy metals down, getting the minerals all
(37:30):
balanced out into their homeostasis and really makes everything work well.
And as I said, with mental health, if you don't,
if someone has heavy metals, you can do everything possible,
and you're never going to get it under control unless
you get rid of those heavy metals.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, and just thinking of mental health, what's going on
physiologically RIGHTO is very important looking at the whole person, right, I.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Mean, whenever you know you because you've got serotonin, the dopamine,
the GABA, and on and on and on, as far
as all the neural transmitters. And the pharmaceutical industry is
giving things either blocking or adding or hitting those types
of things, but they're not asking why because the body
should normally balance it out. And then as you sit
(38:21):
there and give the pharmaceuticals, the problem with taking the
pharmaceuticals is eventually they don't work anymore and you have
to change or up them because the underlying imbalance is
still there and it will break down eventually. Pharmaceuticals are
never an answer there could stop gap. You know, in
(38:45):
critical situations they can be extremely beneficial, but what you
want to do is find out what is the underlying clause.
And there can be many different types of things, and
there's a lot of things that we look at, but
the first thing I always start with is a hair analysis,
because if I can get the hair analysis, probably ninety
(39:06):
five percent of the mental health issues go away. Wow,
ninety five percent you see a doramatic difference. But we
get into some other different types of tests along those lines,
and oftentimes there are things that need to be done
as far as I'm counseling and psychology and psychiatry feedback
(39:27):
and getting those things going, But you're not going to
make those progresses really until you get the hair analysis
balanced out.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Okay, when we come back, we're going to talk about
the process for someone to go through the hair analysis.
And you have some things that patients you know that
you've seen in their progress. We're going to talk about
those stories. Will be right back. Never miss an episode

imbalances in your gut, and disruptions in your hormones could
be contributing to your mental health struggles. Join us for
a free holistic integration educational seminar More Than Mental because
(40:47):
there's more to mental health than meets the mind. Wednesday,
May twenty eighth at six thirty pm you'll hear from
doctor Robert Preyther, host of The Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
One of the things that is really really good that
I give to people who are in mental health crisis
situations or mental health issues is back flowers. There's thirty
eight of them, and what doctor Bach found is that
when people get around flowers, like you go to funeral
homes and there's flowers all over the place, people calm down.
(41:17):
He was able to extract the essences of those flowers,
give them to people and their mental health would improve.
And so backflowers are one of the main things that
we use for mental health and well being, and it
really really works quite well. We also have other different
kinds of flowers now we have Australian flowers, we have
garden flowers, so we've been able to expand it quite
(41:38):
a bit further. What's nice about it is there aren't
any side effects, and we can get some very very
dramatic changes. My first experience with TMJ was a friend
of mine who wasn't in chiropractic school that I knew
down in Atlanta, and he had actually tried to commit
suicide three times. It wasn't that there was something wrong
with him in particular, but the jopping and get so
(42:00):
bad that people will actually try to take their lives.
And I was trying to find someone who actually knew
what they were doing. But all the people that I
found that were experts on it. He says, I've already
been there, and I developed some techniques along those lines
for adjusting and working with it and got him down
to the point that it was very tolerable. He says,
I'm staying with you you're the only one who's helped me.
I still have modified it, made it actually better, but
(42:23):
the same techniques that I have was the techniques that
I actually used on him I learned under fire. I
felt like I was under a lot of stress to
figure that out and spent a lot of time working
on it. Cluster headaches are the rarest of headaches, so
they also call them the suicide headache. I have had
two men who were in my parking lot who had
a gun on their lap with their wife coming in saying,
(42:46):
can you help my husband? If not, he's going to
kill himself, and we were able to get each of
those cleared up of their headache before they left. Cluster headaches,
one of the biggest things that's very important is a
specific upper cervical adjustment. I perform the outlass orthogonal upper
cervical adjustment. The specific upper cervical adjustment. As someone who
(43:08):
does that really well gets that outlass exactly placed right
is the only way that you can really get cluster
headaches gone. Every cluster headache patient that's followed through with
our care has gotten complete relief where they didn't have
a reoccurrence of the cluster headaches.

(44:07):
listening to the Voice of Health with doctor Robert Praither
of Holistic Integration, where our mission is restoring hope to
our patients. Hair analysis a key to better mental health
and doctor Praythro we're talking about, you know, what is
the process for someone who wants to get a hair
analysis done.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
We take them in as a new patient and do
the exam all the different types of things that are necessary,
and they sit there and a lot of them come
in and say, I'd really like to get that hair
analysis done, and so it's a matter of it's actually
a very small amount usually on the back of the neck,
you don't really see it. I have an interesting story
(44:49):
with that. I had one gal who was a sixteen
sixteen year old girl and she was a professional model,
and the big thing was her hair had this reddish brown, beautiful,
very thick hair. And mom brought her in for some
anxiety things along those lines, which she wound up having
copper toxicity, which we were able to.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Help her with.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
But she came in and I sat there and I said, well,
you know, with this type of we really need to
do hair analysis. And I saw her straightened up, like,
you know, are you really going to touch my hair?
And and Mom even kind of rolled her eyes, and
(45:34):
I said, well, you know, it's not a big deal,
and you know, let's go on back and have your
hair analysis done. And we're walking back and we're going
to go in a room, and one of my other
patients just came out of that room, not sure what
he was there for. He was completely bald. And I
sat there and I said, and he just had his
(45:55):
hair analysis done.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
She started trauma.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
She started to hyperventilate, and Mom said, he's having fun
with you.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Sometimes people don't know how to take you let you.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Know that mom knew because Mom was kind of rolling
her eyes too as far as on her hair, and
so you know, she kind of actually she relaxed a
lot after that because she was uptight, you know, kind
of like a funny. But no, I mean, you couldn't tell.
And I said, to see you couldn't tell? She said,
what that was mean?
Speaker 1 (46:33):
I want to make sure people know you're not the
one cutting.
Speaker 3 (46:35):
Their I are not the one cutting their hair. People
are Yeah, are you saying I wouldn't be that good?
Speaker 1 (46:44):
So how long does it take to get results and
how should the results be interpreted?
Speaker 3 (46:49):
It takes about two weeks to get the results back.
And really it's something that I've trained my staff on
how to interpret it, and we have a very definite
way of doing it. You can't really read it in
any books. People try to do it on their own,
and it's not good because some of the things are
contraintuitive on what's showing up. So oftentimes when you go
(47:13):
really high on calcium, you actually need calcium, and all
of a sudden it drops back down. Yeah, So you
have to be able to interpret exactly what's going on
with the minerals, you know, to really be able to
understand what's happening and how to kind of.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
Work with it.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
So can the hair analysis identify I think we've answered this,
but I want to make sure patterns related to anxiety, depression,
or mood disorders.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Oh yeah, schizophrenia, I mean everything that you're talking about. Anxiety,
of course is one of the biggest ones that we
deal with. So the things that we oftentimes with see
with anxiety is copper. Copper toxicity is something that can
really cause anxiety when.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Copper high where the copy is high.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
Yeah, so the copper goes high, zinc goes low, and
everything's magnified.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Now you always talk about we get it out. Does
that mean you're detaxing detoxing.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
About someone comes in does a hair analysis. Sure, I'm
one of these because I can go high copper and
low zinc. Sure, and so you're detaxeing the copper. But
giving zinc is that correct?
Speaker 3 (48:25):
The zinc is antagonistic to the copper, so as you
increase the zinc, it will decrease the copper. We also
give a homeopathic So one of the things that medically
that they think about, Like I've had people with mercury
and lead and all sorts of different types of heavy metals,
and they think of kelation, you know, something along those lines.
(48:47):
And what we find is aculation is actually pretty hard
on the system. You have to really watch the kidneys.
It also takes out a lot of minerals out of
the system. Yeah, so you really have to supplement. Now.
What we do is we do a homeopathic copper, find
out which ones are actually we've got a choice of
quite a few, and then zinc is an antagonistic to it,
(49:10):
so we add the minerals in there. We also find
that cilantro is a real good detox er. There's zeolite.
There's a lot of different things that we have that
are binders for the copper to get it out of
the system, and we can do it without damaging the
liver or the kidneys or the different process.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Gentle details.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
It's a gentle detox. We find it much more effective,
much less of a problem than with the akilation. One
of the things that like with anxiety is arsenic. We
have quite a few people with arsenic. Arsenic is something
that they yeah in the air analysis and that has
(49:53):
a toxic it's very toxic. That's something that's a poison. Well,
mercury is a poison, leads to poison. All those are poison.
So Arsenic is something that we've had a lot of
people come in with anxiety, mood disorders, antagonistic depression actually occurs.
Insomnia is a huge thing with arsenic and arsenic they
(50:16):
use it in a lot of pesticides.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
One of the things that we found is that we've
had several Amish gentlemen who work in the woodworking. So
what they do is they put arsenic into the woods
so the termites don't eat it for long term, and
then they go in there and they use the saws
and you know, the dust goes up in the air
and they breathe it in and they're breathing in arsenic.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
So one of the things we did was made sure
that they had masks, you know, gas masks. I mean,
they really need to watch that real closely because it
actually was causing them to be It can cause you
to be violent. We actually, well, my staff were like, wow,
this guy is just you know, not fun to deal with.
(51:02):
You know, his wife seems to be good. She's bringing
him in here usually to try to get him calm. Down,
but you know, he's mad about everything, and then we
do the arsenic detox and it's like, oh, that's what
he's actually really like.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah, we've had it's amazing to see.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
The personality change.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:25):
And of course if it gets you know, bad enough,
I mean, you know, it's a poison that can really
cause a huge amount of problems for your health and wellbeing.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
So we're constantly looking at those types of things and
each one of those heavy metals we can actually do that,
and we know which medals to help to put in.
Sometimes the calcium magnesium can be really important, but you
need to know which ones are going to help and
which ones are going to hinder that. So it's a
balancing act.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
Are there any surprising discoveries you've made through here analysis
in your practice.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
Well, one of the things that really wasn't emphasized when
I was going through as far as on training was
molbdimum was what mollibidum olibdment and that well it's it's
a mineral, it's a micronutrient, but that has a lot
(52:19):
to do with fatigue and can even lead to depression.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
Oh I see that go out in our office.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah, sure, sure, what you're talking about, and what happens
is the mitochondria which actually makes the energy. If the
molibdum goes low, then that really starts to shut down
and then people become extremely fatigued. There's depression, you get
so tired that you can't sleep, which is an interesting
type of thing. But that was one thing that we
(52:45):
hadn't talked about and one thing that I figured out,
and at first I didn't really think it was that important,
but then all of a sudden, I said, well, you
know this molybdumen is low, Let's go ahead and add
that into the system and see how that does. And
it was just like this big turnaround.
Speaker 1 (53:03):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
So you know, looking at those types of things and
it really can make a big difference. But that was
an interesting discovery.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
Yeah. Well, thank you doctor Prayther. Very informative as always,
and I am going to get my hair.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
