Hi everyone,

I hate to be a devil's advocate but has anyone checked out this website? They claim to be voluntary and not affiliated with AMA or FDA or any of those traditional medical groups.

The reason I ask is because I was doing a search for the best hair analysis company to go with (for mineral deficiencies), and this site claims it's a waste of money. Some of the points SEEMED valid (like the hair is exposed to so many environmental toxins...and the results are extremely inconsistent...), but I'm so confused.

On there is also juicing and bowel cleansing quackery, which I truly believe in and have been doing for so long. I've just spent so much $ on trying to figure out my health that I want to make sure the hair analysis will be worth it!

I appreciate any comments; thanks!

Hello Jennifer,

This site is founded by a group of people - researchers, who dealt with some aliments in the past and have been able to cure it, natural way. The head of our team was Shelley, lady that has a lot of knowledge and is well known in health circles. We've been learning a lot from her in the past. She has dealt with a lot of health issues and was able to cure it despite the doctor prognoses.
I know her for couple of years and she was my great inspiration. I've learned so much from her, it's just unbelievable.

Any of the advices should be taken under consideration and you should be the one to decide what is best for you.

Thanks Ivana. I realize all of that, and appreciate this site. I guess I was just looking for some assurance regarding the hair analysis! I'll probably end up doing it anyways. I'm just always on the fence about such things, especially when it's a large amount of money for me. Take care,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer2000,

Just a word of caution. The hair should be undyed, clean and free of any contaminants. My choice would be pubic hair washed and dried.

Yeah I know and like I sad you should be the one deciding what should be the best for you. Listen to other people advices but follow your own instincts when it comes to choosing what's best for you.

take care,

Just to let you know, I had my hair checked for heavy metals, using a place called Doctors Data. They are in the US. It was a company recommended to me by my holistic doctor. I used pubic too, just to be sure. I remember when I got the report back, that my doctor said you could not trust a lot of the minerals, but I cannot remember which ones.
