Denisa’s  Story

Some years ago, I had my first encounter with Nutritional Balancing Program. After , a long period of constant fatigue, visits to the doctor and follow-up examinations , I discovered that my health problems were the result of Adrenal Fatigue . I immediately, began to learn more about it by conducting a series of online searches. As result of the experience of some other people with the same symptoms, I learned that in USA there was a Hair Mineral Analysis Test that explains the causes of many health symptoms and disease, whose underlying causes are largely related to nutritional deficiencies, mineral imbalances, heavy metal and chemical toxicity.
