is mineral imbalance really a problem ?

male
Age 29
Weight 68
Height 5.5

is this a problem with my hair or my overall health?if it this is really related to my health,what should i do?how do i remove these toxins from my body?

i went for a hair mineral analysis and the results were like this?
High contents of:
Calcium:
High calcium usually indicates depletion of calcium and deposition into hair.bio-unavailability of calcium might affect cell renewal cycle and cause hair loss or disturbed hair growth.

Magnesium:
High magnesium level in the hair denotes loss of magnesium through hair resulting in deficiency symptoms like depression and hyper irrritibality. This depression might interrupt with the cell renewal process in the follicle leading to hair loss. it denotes that the individual has a slow oxidation state.

Iron:
High iron indicates the occurrence of frequent anger and hostility. it can occur due to iron loss due to excessive destruction of body cells. This destruction will also occur in the cells in the hair matrix causing stunted hair growth and hair loss.

Chromium:
High chromium indicates the loss of chromium through hair. it can be due to mineral imbalance. Biounavailabilty of chromium usually indicates a disrupted cell renewal process leading to subsequent hair loss. It also indicates depleted energy levels.

Manganese:
This indicates manganese toxicity possibly du to drinking water contamination. This might lead to iron deficiency in future. Usage of hair dyes also gives a false indication of high manganese content.

Aluminum:
High aluminum content can cause digestive disorder, thereby leading to hair loss. High aluminum can be due to the continuous use of aerated drinks in aluminum cans, antacids and perspirant. Drinking water and processed cheese can also be the causes for high aluminum content.

Low content of:
Selenium:
A low content of selenium in hair indicates dietary deficiency. Low selenium levels indicate a weak immune system which might become the reason for scalp disorders and subsequent hair loss.

I was diagnosed with androgenic alopecia.

Hi You could also try some Ginger in you green tea and try adding you lemon to it with honey makes a real go cup of tea, that way, you could also try taken cayenne as this will help clean your blood and make you fill good, I take this as a part of my anti ED mix, I take it mixed in tomato paste thinned with olive oil, mix it to a heat that suits you, try taken 3 small spoonfuls and wash each down with water, do it 3 times a day before a meal, but only take 3 out of seven days, garlic is also good for your blood either take in capsules, or raw mixed in tomato paste, take the same as the above, see how you get on.
Good Luck
