Benefits of hair analysis:

• Families can learn from a hair analysis why a child has learning difficulties, attention deficit disorder, infections or trouble falling asleep at night

• Learn why a partner may be withdrawn moody, anxious or depressed

• Government agencies and researchers use hair analysis to monitor environmental and occupational exposure to toxic metals

• Animal owners and veterinarians find hair analysis an excellent method to monitor, prevent & correct heath conditions in many animal species.

TheSupplementprogramrecommendationsarebasedupontheresultsofyourhairtest.ThereasonIrecommendthesenutrientsarebasedonthefollowingreasons:

• Most people today are born depleted of vital nutrients.• The soil is depleted.• High-yield crops are deficient in certain nutrients.• Modern fertilizers do not supply enough trace elements.• Pesticides and herbicides kill soil microorganisms and affect

the nutritional value of the plant.• Long distance transportation of many foods diminishes their

nutrition (I love for my clients to shop locally at farmer’s markets for this aforementioned reason).

• Food additives often deplete nutrients in the body.• Stressful lifestyles exhaust the body of important nutrients.• Food processing reduces nutrient content.• Special life situations that may require extra nutrients include,

pregnancy, lactation, breast feeding, old age, childhood, adolescence and youth.

“Is Your Hair Made of Donuts? is a wonderful children’s book discuss-ing the Blossom family’s choice to eat wholesome, healthy, organic vegetables, grass-fed meats and free range eggs in hopes of making them happy, smart, athletic and healthy. It’s as if the author is read-ing my mind and is sitting right at our dinner table. On a family trip to the supermarket, the children’s characters (Matthew and Madison) ring so true to life and accurately portray the challenges both parents and children face by media and peer pressure. They beg to have fake foods that they are bombarded with when watching TV and want what their friends bring to lunch. After their Mom allows them to fill the cart with such temptations, they go home eat them and imme-diately feel sick. This children’s nutrition book is above the rest! Its characters, morals and lesson are clear and interesting. As a Mom of two boys and a baby to come, this children’s book will be a wonder-ful way to relate our values in a fun, interesting and funny way to the boy’s peers and classmates. Madison’s dream puts into perspective the dangers of such consumption. Hold true to your nutrition plan, or your hair may indeed be made of donuts.”-- Crystal Fonseca, La Leche League, Leader

“ I thank you for your interest in hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) and, more specifically, nutritional balancing science. By helping to remove toxic minerals and replace them with vital nutrient minerals in an intense, but safe way through balancing the electrolytes, the program also devel-ops the body at deep levels of functioning. It is therefore quite preven-tive and predictive, with the goal of not only removing conditions one is aware of, but correcting deeper tendencies for illness and dysfunction as well.”�
