Guide for TEI (Trace elements Inc) Lab Testing

[HereToHeal]

Hey everyone!

Im think of getting a full TEI testing and supplementing but i live in Peru and I'm not sure what tests to take and what are the protocols for this type of testing. Can someone do some sort of manual of how to do the TEI testing (including what to test for) if you live outside the US.
Thank you so much!

Can someone pitch in by saying what amount of hair is needed? Is 30grams something like a small sized envelope?

They say around one teaspoon.

They say around one teaspoon.

Catherine told me I needed a tablespoon worth. That’s body hair, so maybe it’s different? That’s what I’ve been going by

Dont know. Where I get my TEI test from I always get this small scale to measure the needed amount.

You'll need at least 125 mg (0,125 grams) for Trace Elements.

-- @Ingeno this is like 100-200hairs? I sent like 300-400 just in case. Could have used my digital scale... it was too far away. Catherine said sample more than enough so it worked. -0.125mg... so maybe 50-100 hairs?
-1 TBSP? I thought it was like 3-4 heaping TBSP's... anyways whatever.
-oh yeah I wanted TEI supps but TEI and ARL results but that didn't pan out / and waste of money nyways if i did that. -I only wanted them to check consistency.
-Conversion @manu did from ARL-->TEI is likely close enough anyways from ARL test one March 20. My TEI Hair Analysis was on Sept 8th, 2018.

I didn't use a digital scale, but a paper scale. I didn't count my hairs lol. I grew out the back of my head so I just started cutting and then some more. After that I buzzed the whole back of my head. I think clippers are even easier than sciccors, but they need to be clean as fuck.

 

[Ivy]

Oh, that's less than I thought! Thanks guys!

Do you think the TEI is not worth the try? Has it got any people 100% cured or not yet?

Also, you just have to cut your hair with a scissor right? I assume they don't need the hair from the root.

 

[MNK99]

Definitely worth the try.
Goose had gains.
I have gains for PFS and beyond (other stuff). A clean Tei trial I mean -also a long time 6-9mo. Even longer for a lot of people.

 

[HereToHeal]

Ok great, i'm looking at their webpage right now. Does anyone know which Test or "Profile" is the one everyone gets??

You need profile 2 so you can get the supplement recommendation.

I have been on tei for the last 6 months. I have gotten some solid gains from it and believe it's a cure, or at least very close to it.

That's awesome! I'll get in touch with them so i can start the process.
So I just send them the hair, get tested and then they'll send you the supplements right?

First you purchase a hair test profile 2 through tei. They send you the hair test kit that shows you how and how much hair to cut, and asks for personal info. You then mail your hair and info. In a week or two you should receive a digital copy of your results with dietary and supplement recommendations. You then have to purchase the supps.

The whole process can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to get started on tei.

I order everything from this site Comprehensive Hair Mineral Analysis (Profile 2)

@Goose12 how are things going for you in the sexual recovery department? Have you noticed any help there from TEI?

Like me he gets bumps in baselines after he stops. He was plateued with very low libido issues for a long time before he started this.

I’ve probably followed him more than anyone here reading his story when he joined motivated me to write my long initial post in my log.

He’s gone at this hackstasis style for a long time now and it’s really paid off.

Currently, I’m feeling more balanced than ever- my hair test shows it just got it back. Body is just strong and fights disease extremely well. I’m fatigued from it- but balance just leaves you fighting disease so you can’t complain. Just drinking calcium (almond milk) leads to herxheimer (healing symptoms) as calcium fights diseases.
