Abstract
The method of the detection of macro- and trace element balance in the human body by hair and nail testing (IMOPAVIN) is widely used in medical practice of Russian and foreign medical centers. This method is similar to the method which is called Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) in English publications. In this method reference limits for the content of individual elements as well as ratios of certain element pairs are specified. The measured levels of individual elements or ratios of specific element pairs lying beyond the reference ranges indicate mineral imbalance in the body correlated to various diseases. The method based on both the levels of individual elements and ratios of specific element pairs is offered to detect hidden mineral imbalance in the body. Hidden deficiency or excess of any macro- or trace elements was confirmed by laboratory tests (macro- and trace element levels in blood and urine) as well as clinically (correction of hidden mineral imbalance with the drugs designed for mineral balance correction). The method is based on the analysis of ratios in the pairs of elements, each having a normal level.
