(1) Food Intolerances
(2) Environmental Intolerances
(3) Nutritional Imbalance
(4) Metal & Mineral Imbalances.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]5Strands utilzes a hair sample collection method and bioresonance technology to identify temporary imbalances causing symptoms such as:
- Upset stomach
- Headaches                                                  - Paw biting
- Bloating                                                      - Excessive hair loss
- Joint pain                                                    - Hot spots
- Water retention                                          - Itching[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]You will receive a comprehensive report indicating the items that you or your pet registered an intolerance to.
The Food Test includes key proteins, grains, fruits, vegetables, sweeteners, preservatives, gluten, lactose,  and synthetic additives.
The Environmental Test includes items such as cleaning materials, fabrics, pollen, trees, grasses, lotions, chemicals, fleas and dust mites.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]5Strands also provides an imbalance test for nutritional items, as well as metal & minerals.
The Nutrition Test will indicate which of the key vitamins, minerals, and amino acids the body is not absorbing properly.
The Metals & Minerals Test will indicate your bodies ability to process and eliminate the items tested.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][mTheme_welcome link_target="open_link"]

Testing results will be delivered via email 7-10 days after the hair sample is received by the 5Strands processing center. Your results will be delivered via email. Don’t be overwhelmed, take a deep breath, and be excited to start your journey to better health. Our incredible customer support team is accessible via email or phone to assist with any questions.

[/mTheme_welcome][vc_empty_space][mTheme_welcome link_target="open_link"]

For each type of testing purchased, you will receive a report that consists of all the items you or your pet measured an intolerance or imbalance to. 5Strands has a set threshold of significance, so not every item tested will make the report. The items that do, will be placed into a severity of response upon exposure category ( level 3, 2, 1 ). You will also be provided a separate attached pdf with all the items tested to cross reference.

[/mTheme_welcome][vc_empty_space][mTheme_welcome link_target="open_link"]

5Strands does not provide testing for IgE or IgG mediated responses (true allergy involving the immune system). Unlike HTMA or Blood Testing, it will not provide you with a physical amount measured within the body. This report is to be utilized as a 60-90 day elimination guideline to allow these temporary imbalances to restore optimal vitality.
