I started getting gray hair about 2 years ago, coming in like a gray/white halo from the top of my hair, showering downward. It has been blending beautifully with my natural color, so though it is pretty, who really wants gray/white hair? So the day after Thanksgiving, 2008, I started using an herb that has been reported as restoring gray hair to its natural colors, improving the metabolism and controlling the appetite. After three months, I thought I noticed a change -- less gray, but was not sure. I have been waiting for my hair stylist to confirm it, however, she had given me such a great cut before Thanksgiving that I did not have to see her again until five months later. So on Thursday, 4/23/09, I went to get my hair cut and my hair stylist confirmed 100% that I have more brown color and a lot less gray. How cool is that!
I already knew this herb was successful in controlling my appetite and improving my metabolism because since Thanksgiving, I have lost 20 pounds.
I will keep you posted as I continue to restore my natural color and lose more weight.
If you would like to know more, give me a call at (940) 761-4045, anytime from Monday-Friday from 10 to 5 p.m. C.S.T. (closed 12-1 p.m. for lunch), except Wednesday afternoons.

Successful Business Relocation
It is hard to believe that it has been a month since I last blogged. The previous date was March 26, the day we started relocating my business - closing our clinic and moving the business home. We are now providing our business as a home-based, mail-order clinical nutrition testing and consultation service for local, as well as our long-distance clients. I decided that after 27 years in a clinic-setting, seeing in-office patients as well as providing our services by mail to long-distance clients, that I would discontinue the in-office services and use this time to write books and more articles, etc.
I love hearing the birds chirping outside my window, watching the fish swimming in the pond when I take an outdoor break, and listening to the waterfall as I work.
I want to thank all my local clients who are being supportive in this change.

Normal Blood Tests Does Not Mean You Are Healthy, Only Currently Disease Free!
A medical interpretation of your blood tests and diagnosed as "normal" means your blood does not currently indicate disease or a chemistry that is life threatening - which is good news. However, a clinical nutrition interpretation of the same blood tests, will reveal multiple deficiencies, excesses, biochemical imbalances and organ/gland dysfunctions, which if not identified and then corrected, in time will progress to the disease state, then your MD will be able to see it in your blood.
This is also why you can be experiencing symptoms yet your MD says 1) blood tests are normal, 2) no medical cause for your symptoms, 3) it is all in your head - then send you to a psychiatrist or prescribe an anti-depressant, or other mind-altering drug, etc.
Only a clinical nutrition analysis of your blood tests will identify the cause of your current symptoms and what to do to improve your health. I hope this helps Laura and others who wonder how they can feel bad when their medical tests are normal. To find out how to order a clinical nutrition analysis of your blood tests, go to www.AdvancedClinicalNutrition.com or call me at (940) 761-4045.

What Everyone Should Know About Thyroid Dysfunction
Reference: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/2008/05/16/normal/
I just read the comments at the above site, and me makes me both sad and angry for all the people who are mislead by well-meaning, but misinformed experts. What I will share with you has been the result of helping people with dysfunctions of the thyroid, adrenals, sex hormones, etc., since 1981, and in doing so I have learned something everyone needs to know.
Minerals transport hormones (thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones, etc.) to the cells. The thyroid can be functioning normally, yet if the person has deficiencies in the specific minerals that transport the thyroid hormones from the glands (same with adrenals and sex glands), the hormones that do not get to the cells will collect in the blood. They are taken to the blood to be filtered by liver and excreted through the kidneys. This is a biological process for eliminating what the body cannot use. When the hormones get transported to the blood for this purpose, it causes imbalances in thyroid levels (it can raise or lower TSH, T3, T4 and FTI, respectively). If at that moment, a person has a blood test done by their MD, the MD will see this imbalance and immediately assume that it is a glandular problem. The MD then will diagnose hypo or hyper function of the gland, prescribe a drug for it, as in the case of Synthroid for hypothyroid. Consequently, the drug interferes with a perfectly healthy functioning gland, which in times causes the gland to become dysfunctional, even diseased, and the real cause continues, also making the condition worse and goes on undetected. This is why so many continue to have problems and create more problems for themselves when they take the drug, or take supplements such as Armour or other thyroid supplements -- the real cause is not being addressed. So though the person may feel initially better (which is due to the stimulation of the gland) once the gland has dealt as best it can with this source of stimulation or manipulation (drug or supplement), it tries again to communicate to the person (via the symptoms surfacing again) that the real problem has not been addressed. So the person goes back to feeling fatigued or whatever their original symptoms were. Please note, my referenced to Armour is not saying anything against the supplement, just that if the cause is not glandular, but mineral deficiencies, Armour will not help in the long-term.
Additionally, when a man or woman goes through menopause (fe)or andropause (male), the thyroid and adrenals are backup glands for producing sex hormones. However, most people have exhausted thyroid and adrenals glands by the time they reach this time of life. This causes even further dysfunction of these glands and more severity of symptomology.
Taking a multiple mineral supplement is not the answer and can make the above worse. I could write a whole article on minerals.
Before taking any supplement, it is best to have your nutritional biochemistry tested to find out exactly what you are deficient or excessive in - there are specific tests for vitamin deficiencies and others for mineral deficiencies.
If you want to know more about this and how to identify and correct the real cause, please feel free to contact me at (940) 761-4045 M-F 10 to 5 p.m. C.S.T. or email me at services@advancedclinicalnutrition.com. I am here to help.

Best To Test Before You Buy Supplements
80% of Americans are taking supplements. However, without clinical nutrition testing of your biochemistry (blood, urine, saliva, hair, etc.), people are taking the wrong supplement, dosage or taking supplements longer or not longer enough.
