The most advanced & accurate understanding of HTMA
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
Your doctor says your blood tests are "normal."
But you're exhausted.
Your thyroid hormone isn't working.
Your bones are weakening.
But you're still searching. That says everything.
When treatments didn't work, you looked for new answers. When others told you to accept your condition, something in you refused. That instinct is right.
Dr. Robert Thompson refused to stop searching also.
Why were his patients still getting sick despite "perfect" blood tests? He challenged medical assumptions and transformed thousands of lives when nothing else worked.
He discovered how minerals interact with human physiology. He refined the system of analysis and wrote Mineral Medicine: The Elements That Change Everything. Now you and your physician can explore and benefit of his discoveries too.
Thompson-Dobereiner Principle + HTMA
HTMA Test (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) combined with an understanding of the Thompson-Dobereiner Principle explains the relationship between elements in the body and reveals what conventional bloodwork misses.
The chemistry for healing. Dr. Thompson discovered the keys.

PRAISE for Mineral Medicine
“The Thompson-Dobereiner Principle: Systems Biology Meets Chemistry
Thompson's breakthrough discovery applies 19th-century chemistry to 21st-century medicine. Building on Johann Dobereiner's 1829 observation that minerals form predictable relationship groups, Thompson identified 12 mineral groups that substitute for each other in human physiology based on periodic table relationships. This Thompson-Dobereiner Principle explains what systems biology has long recognized: one cellular imbalance manifests as completely different diseases in different individuals, depending on constitutional factors and which organ system proves most vulnerable.
Multiple case reports cited in the book exemplify perfect systems biology: one mineral imbalance affecting multiple organ systems simultaneously. Correct the cellular terrain, and all systems heal together.”

“This book is an education and inspiration for health practitioners and the public alike - and a fascinating read!”
In this eye-opening book Dr. Thompson describes his breakthrough discoveries on how minerals actually function in the human body, bringing about true healing for many that had been failures of mainstream medicine. For having the courage to follow his truth, he has been censured by the medical regulators and threatened with the loss of his license to practice medicine. ”

“Dr. Robert Thompson's book Mineral Medicine is a milestone in the science of mineral-based physiology and health issues.
The still largely neglected method of measuring the mineral status and composition of our tissues, especially our bones, by means of a physical tissue and hair analysis deserves our undivided attention, both as doctors and patients as well as scientists.
I consider Dr. Thompson to be a world-leading specialist in this field and am eternally grateful to him for opening my eyes to this enormously important area.
I wish this amazing book the recognition it deserves among my colleagues and in the scientific community. Medicine often advances through the meticulous work of practitioners such as Dr. Robert Thompson, who are dedicated above all else to science and their patients.”

Robert Thompson, MD
Born Deaf. Trained in Isolation.
Seeing what others miss.
In Alaska, survival depends on observation. In the silence, Dr. Robert Thompson revolutionized medicine. His innovations have repeatedly outpaced institutional validation.
First, he transformed surgery. In the early 1990s, while practicing in Anchorage, he performed procedures that surgeons worldwide now use daily. An avid fisherman, he realized the classic “cinch knot” could be used in surgery and thus he began teaching laparoscopic intracorporeal suturing. The "clinch knot" he developed is now used globally. In addition, his Alaska firsts:
Laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy management
Medical management with Methotrexate
Laparoscopic Oophorectomy, Salpingectomy, Hysterectomy, Appendectomy, Ovarian cystectomy
Despite a perfect surgical history with no complications, he was sued for his for innovations. By the time the case reached trial, his techniques had become standard practice. The case was dismissed.
Then, he walked away from surgical success to ask a deeper question: What does chemistry have to do with human physiology? Having been obsessed with the Periodic Table since he was in elementary school, suddenly he knew why.
What he discovered a vast, untouched territory that challenges 200 years of medical assumptions.
In Alaska, everything is elemental.
Life works in harmony.
After analyzing over 5,000 Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) results, Dr. Thompson identified patterns that explain why conventional medicine fails so many patients.
CONVENTIONAL BLOOD TESTING = Measures only 6% of what's circulating in your blood at the moment of the draw.
HTMA = Measures the other 94%. It measures what's stored in your cells—the minerals that determine whether those cells can produce energy, respond to hormones, or fight disease.
It’s like looking at a picture frame but ignoring the picture.
Evidence began to appear:
LOW POTASSIUM → THYROID DYSFUNCTION
THE PRESENCE OF BROMINE (INTERFERENCE WITH IODINE) → 5 TYPES OF CANCER (BREAST, OVARIAN EPITHELIAL, PROSTATE, THYROID, PANCREATIC), AUTISM BRAIN, ENDOMETRIOSIS, ETC.
HIGH IRON → CANCER PROGRESSION, DEMENTIA, BLOOD CLOTTING
HIGH CALCIUM → HYPOTHYROIDISM, OSTEOPOROSIS, GALL STONES, STROKE
HIGH ZINC → INTERFERENCE WITH COPPER (ENERGY PRODUCTION AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE SYNTHESIS)
AND THE LIST WENT ON….
Mineral imbalances drive chronic disease.
Balance minerals. Correct the disease.
But there was a problem: Which minerals worked together to optimize health? Life long researcher, Dr. Thompson discovered research that had begun nearly two hundred years prior in 1829 by a German chemist, but it was incomplete and never accepted. He recognized the significance of the science and returned to inquiry and observation. He was awe-struck – this discovery explains and predicts almost all human disease pathophysiology.
THE THOMPSON-DOBEREINER PRINCIPLE was born.
THE THOMPSON-DOBEREINER PRINCIPLE: Fundamental patterns in mineral relationships exist —12 mineral groups determine health and disease in ways conventional medicine has missed until now. First recognized by Hans Dobereiner, Dr. Thompson updated his work and applied these elemental “triads” to modern health.
Thompson-Dobereiner Principle
Dr. Thompson is the first scientist to analyze your HTMA tests in relationship to mineral medicine, identifying the excess or missing elements you need.
