I think for the majority of the people it is nice to have a practitioner for asking questions and better guiding. We however, are in the minority and don't actually need a practitioner because there is way more information on this forum then most practitioners know about. We have @Helen anyway...

This is what TEI says: "Each collected sample should be taken in small portions from at least four to five different locations of the scalp. The recommended areas for collection are the nape of the neck, posterior vertex and posterior temporal regions." "Scalp hair is the only source...

My recommendations from TEI consist of specific foods to eat and avoid. Also the ratios of fat/protein/carbs are explained. I don't think meal timing is very important. It is more important that you eat meals with the correct ratios en good nutrients at the same time you take the supplements.

It is indeed different for everyone, my body hair slowed down a lot and is less than before. Underarm hair is way lighter and thinner.

I also wonder why they advise against hair from the sides of your scalp? I usually take the hair from the back of my head, usually just below the crown, no MPB there yet. I also never wash my hair with shampoo anymore, only on the day where I take my hair sample. Maybe just regular soap is...

Yeah it's going all places, probably due to the first test not being correct. Hopefully the 3th one will be more worthwhile. Did you have hair loss and has it stabilized now?

I think nobody has found anything that doens't disrupt our system that actually works for our hair loss problems. I'm doing daily headstands mostly 1 or 2 x 90 seconds, morning and evening. I'm thinking of wearing an elastic band around the scalp at home to release the tension/gravity on the...

So what is a proper hair sample? I mean they advise to wash with shampoo, but each shampoo is filled up with sulfates and sodium and what not. This informtion needs to be shown to TEI/ARL, it is worrisome.

Those supplements recommendations are insane. If you can spend the money I would say go for it. I would not worry about the way they label you. I went from fast 2 into fast 4. The actual values and ratios are more important.

@Helen Basically all those processes you described are treated by TEI?

I've been eating onions and garlic for years, never seen regrowth.

Ever since then my hair loss started falling again, the itchy scalp came back. The other symptomps never fully recovered, my beard stopped growing and is very very thin right now. Feels like my masculine features slowed way down ever since using FIN. Another slow change that took probably...

I crashed on FIN. I think I took it for couple of months and tested several dosages. But the first reason to lower the dosage was because I was getting the following symptoms slowly while using FIN. - Nervous - Anxiety - Muscle loss - Brain fog - Watery semen - Lower libido - Hair DID stop...

This sounds like me exactly. Is it even possible for TEI to fix genetically deficiency? I mean what is TEI gonna do about it if the body is predestined to make very little NADPH? Cured from PFS, but not balanced right? I mean being balanced should provide hair growth, not hair loss in the end?

Interesting, could you classify symtomps for case 1 and 2. E.g. would slowed beard growth be caused by case 1 or 2? Or less masculine face for example.

Yes we should stick with a program, but I do believe it's good to dicuss the differences between their supplements. Right now I have more faith in TEI, but I was kinda disappointed that we didn't get all of the original supplements from TEI in The Netherlands, I mean they must have crafted them...

I believe Trace Elements does produce Sympia, it is made in the USA too and a lot of similarities between the bottles of Sympia and original TEI supplements. When I contacted TEI directly they replied through Vitamunda and stated that some ingredients where forbidden in The Netherlands, thus...

I also have a feeling that TEI keeps researching, they still publish some interesting newsletters once in a while. No clue if ARL is based on old information. I'm sticking with TEI but I share your doubts @Admiral. Sympia is indeed their own baked version, but I'm quite sure that TEI does...

I also have the dry skin part, but my gums are fine I think, they don't bleed and are only sensitive sometimes when combining hot/cold foods together or in a short time frame. Perhaps something else is causing your gums to bleed?

First TEI cycle I had zero vitamin E. I do need to eat a lot of calcium foods, so I'm getting that. I have no clue what the role of vitamin E is in the balancing act, maybe @Helen knows more about why vitamin E is used.
