Dr. Watts has been involved in clinical nutrition for 25 years. Over the past 20 years his research has focused on the study of tissue mineral patterns found in human hair. Having reviewed over 300,000 tissue mineral profiles, he has identified interrelationships between minerals, vitamins and the neuro-endocrine system. He has further classified vitamins, minerals, herbs, foods, water and drugs into specific categories according to their metabolic effects. His research has led to the development and recognition of individual tissue mineral patterns associated with various disease trends, metabolic types and even emotional characteristics.
