Quick & affective overview of sensitivity’s there was one thing on my results that made no sense to me as it showed it was out of balance/high reactive & was in red which made sense as I have a medical condition that affects me but it was also in the green section for being ok too however I wouldn’t let one thing overshadow how quickly I got my results. I bought this as my dietician asked if I had any sensitivity to any foods or was allergic & I didn’t know & although this test doesn’t check for allergens it definitely gives a baseline of things my body may react to with other symptoms due to my sensitivity to them which now gives my dietician something to go off so would highly recommend getting if u find yourself being asked the same question even if your the one asking yourself if it could be something u have eaten

The test is relatively simple to complete and send back. Results arrive by email.However, they seem to be random.E.g. I have been clinically diagnosed as having extremely high Iron in my blood and system. I have 1300 ng/mL where the maximum is 300 ng/mL . however, this test said my iron level was normal which could not be more wrong.I am quite intolerant to peanuts. If I eat anything peanut related, my throat closes up and I cant swallow, so I avoid. The results of my test said no problems for peanuts, but problems for hazelnuts.Same for things like lentils (and pulses in general) which I cant eat, but this test said were fine.The test said I had strong intolerance to apples, which I have tested and cant find any evidence for (if I eat 3 apples a day for 3 days, then no apples for 3 days, I see no difference.Im not sure about the science behind these tests, but I was disappointed.

I had a test a few years ago with a different company showing that I was intolerant to certain things, and this test stated exactly the same things as the last test. Since I also know from blood tests that I am allergic to penicillin and this test had the same result then I can honestly say that I believe this test to be accurate.

Have a comprehensive analysis of what I’m sensitive to. It’s been 3 months and I can say my life has changed. Didn’t even realise how simple things like an apple was highly reactive to my body and my gut health was atrocious. Been focusing on cutting out what I’m sensitive to and improving gut health.The kit was easy to use - only issue was I didn’t send it via tracked delivery. So results were delayed but if you have proof it was delivered even if it’s lost they will send u a new pack.Would 1000% recommend

TL;DR:=====Long story short, it's interesting and for the price, worth a go but don't treat it as 'fact' in isolation.Long Version:==========So, my wife and I decided to take a punt and order two of the testing kits to see what they revealed; below is the story :)Ordering:=======Being an Amazon purchase, getting the items delivered was the usual painless process; courier comes along and delivers two boxes - one each. Openning the box revealed nothing more than a pair of envelopes and an instruction leaflet.Using:=====The first thing to do is to log onto their website, enter the code from one of the envelopes (call this one the inner envelope - it'll be clear later - and fill in the necessary fields to register the pack.Once done, grab some scissors and get a few strands of hair (more if you have short hair) and put them inside the inner envelope.Put the inner into the outer which is the one that has the postal address on it. (Note here: it would be better if the free post address matched the one on the website, it doesn't so there was a few moments of confusion here). Pop it in the post box and wait for the results.For the second kit, the code was keyed into the website but it reported that it had already been used, so I pinged them a contact message and within a few hours a new code was issued that worked. So, plus point here for the good customer service but a point deducted for it being wrong in the first place.After a week or so an email was received saying that the kit had arrived and the results would be sent over in a few days.A few days later the emails arrived (be sure to keep an eye on your junk mail folder as my wife's was in her junk folder but mine wasn't).Results:======Then comes the reading - and there's a lot here.Broken down into many different sections covering main food categories, a dedicated vegan section (I question the need for this - what's wrong with treating this as just another set of food categories), non food things (plants, bugs etc), metals and gut health.Each section has a breakdown of items contained in it - so Dairy has all manner of cheeses, milks and so on.Each item has a coloured dot indicating High, Medium and Low sensitivity.It's a 60+ page document - so maybe don't just press print!Thoughts:========I have many thoughts about this, the whole process, the validity of the results and what people should do with them but here's the key ones.This is not a medial test - they are quite clear about this as if it were, it would have to have a whole load of additional things alongside it, tests, certifications and the like. This is an alternative medicine test which does - for me at least - give a degree of doubt to the results (but then I'm quite science based, others may be less so).Bioresonance therapy is often debated and there are many websites out there looking at both sides - do your own reading if this is of interest, it's not my place here to promote any sites.The results themselves are a little long winded - there's a whole preamble set of pages (10 or so I think) that could be consolidated down a wee bit. The presentation of the test results is interesting but I don't see why it needs to have 'diets' broken down; I mean, Vegan is simply a diet and there's no need for 4 pages of 'fluff' about what a vegan diet is - just group the foodstuffs along with the main ones, Sauerkraut is not vegan, it's just a food!The E-Numbers section is perhaps the least readable - there's a huge long list of them, pages of it each with a coloured dot. How about rather than just having the E-??? and leaving it there, have the explanation of it underneath each one - rather than having the explanation a few pages later - it's not readable.They should offer a cost-option of having it printed and posted as trying to read a 60+ page PDF on a screen (phone or otherwise) is less than optimal and more often than not, people will simply give up - especially as there's suggestions of performing a food exclusion diet and a bit of page space to keep a log - how do you keep a log on a PDF?The PDFs are accessed just using a link in a browser, that link didn't have any security around it so, theoretically anyone can use the same link to access my results - now, there's nothing personally identifiable on the PDF but it's not what some people would want - as it does have your name on it but nothing else.When it comes down to it, I think there's no harm in having these sort of things and getting the results however, care should be taken when deciding what to do with them. Mine reported that dairy was a big no-no but I've never had any kind of issues with dairy (and there's no way I'm going to cut out cheese!!!). Look at the results and make informed decisions, if you find some alignment with already inferred results (bloated from eating X) then perhaps give it a try cutting it out or, maybe go and visit a dietician or medical professional for a more medical grade test.Long story short, it's interesting and for the price, worth a go but don't treat it as 'fact' in isolation.

Everything i wanted to know

Interesting how many things I have a sensitivity to, however, I have seen a dietician that stated I have a sensitivity to garlic and onion, this test claimed I didn't have a sensitivity!!!Now not sure how accurate the results are.

Absolute waste of money. Company doesn’t provide postage, lab is in Texas, US, cost me 11£ for tracked shipping. I waited weeks to get my results. I then retrospectively did a quick google search, turns out there is no scientific research confirming that these hair sample test actually provide accurate results. Surprised that this is legal, this could have quite the impact on people’s quality of life and is an outright scam.Lesson learnt, do your research beforehand lol.
