Holly what a nightmare. I remember another woman telling a story like that not from a HL board but one about skincare. I wish more women would realize that saliva tests sent through the mail are basically like spitting into the wind. If the site that's touting the saliva test is also selling it that should send all kinds of red flags up. All these sites where they're basically diagnosing your condition through saliva tests ..with adrenal fatigue and estrogen dominance being the two biggies..and then sell you the appropriate medicine based on their "very accurate" saliva test are mostly money making hoaxes. Their association with an MD is probably very remote, he also may not be board certified and could very well be a charlatan. If you must have a diagnosis or a reason why your hair is falling out these guys will be more than willing to sell you the answer. Women with HL are easy prey. Many women have spent years trying to get their ferritin up and trying to cure "adrenal fatigue" without a lot of success after spending thousands of dollars. If you need to have that diagnosis at least go to someone who'll do a blood test.
