What is a bioenergetic hair and saliva wellness scan?

Root Cause Test offers an at-home bioenergetic hair and saliva wellness scan for $199. You collect samples at home, ship them, and receive a prioritized written wellness report. This article explains the service in plain language.

What it is

It is a wellness scan that uses hair and saliva samples you mail in. The output is a report organized by body-system themes, with priority notes and optional supplement or lifestyle ideas. Collection does not require a clinic or a blood draw.

What it is not

• Not a medical diagnosis or treatment plan
• Not an allergy test and not a way to detect or rule out disease
• Not a DNA test
• Not HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis from a clinical laboratory)
• Not a substitute for licensed medical care

Careful comparison

Clinical allergy testing is ordered and interpreted in a medical setting to evaluate allergic response. A Root Cause scan does not do that work and must not be used to decide whether a food or substance is “safe.”

HTMA is a laboratory measurement of mineral content in hair. A Root Cause bioenergetic scan is a different method and a different kind of report. They are not interchangeable.
