Dr. Paul C. Eck: The Pioneer of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

Who Was Dr. Paul C. Eck?

Dr. Paul C. Eck (1925-1996) was a visionary clinician, physician, and biochemist who dedicated his life to understanding the intricate relationship between minerals, metabolism, and overall health. Drawing upon extensive research in biochemistry, physiology, pathology, nutrition, and psychology, Dr. Eck developed a revolutionary approach to assessing and restoring health through Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).

 

The Science Behind Dr. Eck’s Work

Dr. Eck’s approach to interpreting HTMA results was unlike any other. He combined key scientific concepts from renowned researchers:
The Stages of Stress – Adapted from Dr. Hans Selye’s research on how stress affects the body.
Autonomic Nervous System Balancing – Based on the work of Dr. Melvin Page, linking mineral levels to sympathetic and parasympathetic dominance.
Oxidation Types – Influenced by Dr. George Watson’s findings on metabolic energy patterns.
Mineral Nutrition – Inspired by Dr. William Albrecht’s work on the connection between mineral imbalances and disease.

Through these principles, Dr. Eck created a systematic and personalized approach to balancing body chemistry, laying the foundation for modern mineral balancing therapy.

 

Dr. Eck’s Legacy in HTMA

In 1974, Dr. Eck established Analytical Research Laboratories (ARL) to provide accurate and scientifically validated HTMA testing. A year later, he founded Endomet Laboratories, offering specialized nutritional products tailored to mineral balancing needs.

His pioneering research continues to influence practitioners worldwide, helping individuals identify and correct trace mineral imbalances linked to fatigue, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, and other metabolic dysfunctions.

ECK’S LAW OF MINERALS:

“Every mineral has an effect on every other mineral. It is scientifically impossible to change the level of even one mineral, without simultaneously affecting the levels of ALL other minerals”

“Minerals are the principal energy-producing components of the human body. It is the relationships between the minerals in your tissues that help determine your physical and emotional destiny. Through an understanding and control of these basic laws of human energy, you can vastly increase the intensity and quality of your life.”

“When you have energy, you don’t have to learn the “techniques” of human relations. You don’t need books or seminars on how to assert yourself. And you don’t need to be taught how to be loving to your mate. All of these things come naturally, and spontaneously, to people with energy.”
