Why Retesting Can Be Critical
A real case study showing how retesting saved a child's progress.
A Retest Case Study of an Autistic Boy
Jimmy had been on a nutritional balancing program for several years with slow and steady progress. Just when his behavior was almost completely normal, he regressed—reverting to earlier symptoms of withdrawal and hyperirritability.
His parents, after years of dedication, were disappointed and decided to quit the program. However, Jimmy's doctor—knowing from experience how well the boy was doing internally—believed this was likely a "retracing" (a temporary healing reaction), not a setback. She asked for one more hair sample.
The retest showed a manganese level of 2.40 mg%—about 60 times the ideal level. Such a high level indicated a massive elimination of stored manganese, not a toxic exposure.
The doctor explained how to handle the elimination: mainly by ignoring the temporary behavior and maintaining a light program until it passed. The extreme irritability subsided after two weeks.
Jimmy has remained well ever since with no further autistic symptoms. The retest was critical in this case to assess deep changes in body chemistry and know how to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often is a retest needed?
We recommend your first retest 4 months after your initial hair analysis. After that, testing can be done every 6 months unless otherwise indicated. For closer monitoring, you can test every 2-3 months.
How do I take a hair sample for a retest?
The procedure is the same as your first test—sample the most recent hair growth closest to the scalp. Women with longer hair may locate their original sampling spots and cut the new growth from those areas.
What if my symptoms got worse?
Sometimes temporary symptom increases indicate "retracing"—a healing process where the body eliminates stored toxins. A retest can reveal whether this is happening and guide the appropriate response.
How long until I receive my results?
Once the lab receives your hair sample, it takes approximately 5 business days to process. Including mail time, expect your complete results within about 10 business days after mailing your sample.
