Children's Gut Check – Foundation for Immune System & Skin
Does your child frequently suffer from stomach aches, infections, or skin problems like eczema? At HMA, we often see an imbalance of zinc and copper in children. Zinc is essential for the intestinal lining – without it, pathogens have an easy time.
Why this test complements the HMA: Hair analysis shows us the status of the immune system (e.g., low Na/K ratio). The stool test reveals the cause. Approximately 80% of the immune system resides in the gut. If the gut flora is disrupted or fermentation is occurring, the body cannot absorb minerals, and the skin can flare up.
What we measure (cultural method):
Flora status: Are the beneficial "guardian" bacteria missing?
Digestion: Are there any putrefaction processes that put a strain on the small body?
Fungi (Candida): Often the cause of bloating and cravings for sweets.
This finding allows for very well-founded recommendations!
