5 v Dedication and Acknowledgements This book is first dedicated to the memory of Dr. Paul C. Eck. He was a brilliant researcher and scientist, as well as a great humanitarian and a friend. I studied this work with him for 14 years as his assistant and often his confidante. For this reason, this book has great personal meaning for me, as well as its scientific value for all who wish to learn more about the human body and how to heal it in a powerful, yet simple, inexpensive and safe manner. This book is an expansion of the earlier editions. It includes all that was in those editions, plus corrections and newer material that has come to light since Dr. Eck s passing. I wish to acknowledge Kenneth, Douglas and Nancy Eck, Dr. Eck s children, and all the employees at Analytical Research Laboratories. They have supported Dr. Eck for some 40 years and continue to offer his work in an unadulterated form. I am also eternally grateful to all the scientists, researchers and laboratory technicians whose untiring and often unappreciated scientific research has made all this possible. Scientists and engineers are the ones who allow society to survive, not the politically connected ones, but the unseen, untiring workers who unravel nature s mysteries and gifts, and make them available to us in a simple and usable form. They deserve all the credit and receive almost none. Many others helped make this book possible. Editing has been ably done by Megan Lorimer, Patti Kloss, Colin Rigden and Alex Hamblin. Cover design is by Beverly Allisone. ******* Foreword to the first edition I have been using hair analysis for the past 15 years and have found this technique to be of great value in restoring the health of my patients. I have worked with the analysis of Dr. Paul Eck who is considered an authority on trace minerals. I have known Dr. Wilson for over 10 years and know that he, too, has become an expert on the balancing of the minerals using hair mineral testing. To this day, I use Dr. Wilson s knowledge in the interpretation of my patients hair mineral analyses, and his nutritional recommendations based on the test results. Dr. Wilson s book is easy to follow. It is a very valuable book for any physician interested in trace minerals. The fact that minerals play a critical role in good health is without question. For example, my personal observation is that I have not seen a single heart attack in my practice among those patients taking magnesium orotate. Based on my experience, mineral balancing alone could drastically reduce cardiovascular disease. Hair mineral analysis is a valuable tool if incorporated with sound dietary advice, detoxification techniques, regular exercise and psycho-spiritual stress reduction. Abram Ber, MD

6 vi Foreword to this edition When I first met Dr. Larry Wilson and began studying with him about 8 years ago, I worked only six hours a day and dragged myself home exhausted most nights. I d tried a few types of nutritional treatment, but nothing worked. Nutritional balancing, on the other hand, did. Today in my practice of holistic psychiatry, I suggest hair testing to most of my patients, and I treat them using the principles in this book. Alternative doctors order thousands of hair tests every year, but hardly any of them know how powerful a tool hair analysis can be. Most use it only to diagnose toxic metals, or misuse it thinking it directly diagnoses deficiencies and excesses. They re missing its best use: hair mineral analysis shows how the body s energy is out of balance and how to correct it. Dr. Wilson explains how to read the hair test as a whole, because all these values are interrelated. For example, a low hair zinc level has a different meaning depending on the sodium/potassium ratio, and the treatment is different, as well. Nutritional balancing is holistic in the sense that it s not about treating any particular disease. Instead, it makes the body healthier so it can overcome disease by itself. Most of my patients suffer from low energy, even if they mask it with caffeine, America s favorite drug, and most physicians are helpless to treat low energy. I certainly was. The hair test, as I learned, holds the key to treating this problem. Then, once the body has good energy and stamina, it can heal other problems on its own. For example, two years into my treatment my gums stopped bleeding, much to my surprise. As my hygienist said, the mouth reflects the overall health of the body. Nutritional balancing is at its holistic best when treating toxic metals, a problem mostly ignored by Western medicine. Alternative doctors often chase after these metals with chelation. With nutritional balancing, we improve the body s energy level, rest the sympathetic nervous system and strengthen the organs of elimination. Then the body can clean house on its own. During treatment, repeated hair tests will show higher levels of mercury, cadmium, lead and other toxic metals. This means the body is doing the work of getting rid of them through the organs of elimination, which include the skin and hair. This approach is gentler and more natural. It relies on the body s wisdom, instead of our own frequenlty flawed belief that we know the ideal order and timing for eliminating toxic metals and hundreds of toxic chemicals. This book can help make hair mineral analysis the cornerstone of any holistic practice that uses nutrition. It teaches an easy way for anyone to begin using vitamins and minerals effectively. Nutritional balancing is truly holistic; its long-term individualized approach both prevents and heals. In addition, for the patient it is quite inexpensive. I guarantee my patients results if they do five things: Take the supplements regularly. Eat much less sugar and enough cooked vegetables and some animal protein daily. Call me with any problem or question. Repeat the hair test every 3-4 months. Stick with it at least a year preferably two or three. I can make this promise because nutritional balancing is a treatment that works consistently. Also, once mastered, it s easy to use. Edward Gogek, M.D.
