Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Jaime, Sorry to bring in an outsider perse, but I had heard good things as far as the lab being reputable, but know next to nothing about this subject, so here's her two cents worth, since this is her field. Steve ----------------------------- Steve, This is an excellent lab and I trust them a lot. I do not use them very often and when I do it is not for hair analysis. While my research has proven to me their testing methods are reliable and accurate your friend's questions prove my point regarding why I do not use them. It is like the blood work they had done.... if you can not interpret it or have guidance about what to do about it.... how useful is it???? Also, tests are just tools to help interpret where the symptoms a person is dealing with may come from. I could not and would not BEGIN to make recommendations without a LOT more information than the 'chat person' gave. I can see patterns and understand certain 'systems' are involved to put out these numbers but it would be reckless to give advice based on a test alone. I use another lab because together we give a lot of information about what it all means and develop a program for someone to implement and begin to normalize their metabolic functions. Information, as you well know, is empowering and education is the key to acquiring that information. I am not being vague about what to do, I am being specific........... is this person on vitamins, minerals, herbs, an eating program? Those toxic metals suggest ingestion from somewhere, maybe food, maybe supplements. There is just no helpful information to go on with offering suggestions and I wonder how valid the inquiry really is???????????
