Hair Mineral Analysis

[candyman54321]

A few years ago, I found a naturopath that did a hair mineral test on me. She offered me great supplements and glandulars that made me feel great. They were recommended by the lab. She is no longer in business, and every naturopath that I have seen since has avoided this method. They will usually sell me a bunch of crap supplements that do nothing more than placebo. I recently saw one that did a hair mineral test on me, and then told me to ignore all of the supplements that were recommended by the lab. She then sold me a couple of crap supplements, and told me that this was all I needed.... Yet they have no effect on me. So I wasted 295.00$ on the hair test. Why are they avoiding selling me the supplements that are recommended by the lab? I know that these supplements work.

My brain doesn't respond to a placebo LOL! I'm to skeptical. It wasn't a placebo. yet every naturopath sense has sold me placebos, shams, and voodoo nonsense. According to the most recent test, I was high in several minerals and low in others.

I found a different guy in my area that is doing this stuff. I will try him, and see if he can interpret the test results better. Its getting expensive, trying to find a natural doctor that isn't a con artist.

I'm sure you can buy the supplements from other suppliers.  Keep in mind that the hair analysis, which is what everyone else is telling you, probably didn't tell you anything all that useful, as it's very unlikely unless you eat horribly that you're deficient in anything.  So most naturopaths are either going to do something to sell you supplements that are marketed only to professionals but aren't usually the best ones out there (they often have cheap minerals that aren't well absorbed and additives you don't want) or they're only to offer you what you actually need because you have a weakness somewhere.  I guess what I'm saying is, you probably just got a better placebo effect from the first naturopath because it seemed scientific but wasn't actually very holistic.  But again, if you want to take the supplements you had before, just look at what you were taking and buy them yourself -- it doesn't have to be the same company.
