Baby Hair Analysis: What Eileen's Infant Hair Revealed
Hair Analysis
By Eileen Durfee — practitioner, inventor, and founder of Wellness Shopping Online
Eileen's hair, saved from when she was a baby, sat untouched for decades. In 2021 she sent those samples — taken at 6, 12, and 18 months of age — to Trace Elements for hair tissue mineral analysis. The reports below show what her body was carrying before she could walk: toxic metals charting at the top of the scale.

Toxic From the Start
Eileen spent decades battling health problems — and for most of that time, no one thought to ask how early the burden began. When her preserved baby hair was finally tested, the answer was: from the very beginning. On the 6-month report, the toxic-elements panel shows lead, cadmium, and mercury charting high, with lead printed at 3.5 mg% — at the top of the report's toxic-elements scale — along with measurable uranium, arsenic, and aluminum. A baby only months old was already carrying an adult-sized problem.
That is the point of this page. Toxic exposure does not wait for adulthood, and it rarely announces itself with symptoms a pediatric checkup would catch. A hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) reads the mineral and toxic-metal patterns deposited in the hair as it grows — a window into what a child's body has been handling, from a simple hair sample taken at home.

Why Parents Test Their Children
- Exposure starts early. Metals pass through pregnancy, water, food, dust, and the environment a child grows up in — Eileen's reports show the pattern was already set in infancy.
- Patterns, not guesswork. HTMA charts nutritional minerals, toxic elements, and their ratios, so trends can be watched and rechecked over time.
- Gentle by design. A small hair sample, cut at home — no needles, no lab visit, suitable for any age.
- A baseline is a gift. A child tested today has a reference point for every retest later — something Eileen only got decades after the fact.
How to Test Your Child
The same HTMA test kit works for children and adults — the lab simply needs a small, clean hair sample and the child's details. Results return as reports like the ones above, showing the child's nutritional minerals, toxic elements, and significant ratios.
Chapter One of a Longer Story
These baby-hair reports are the earliest data points in Eileen's documented health journey. The toxic start they show is the backdrop for everything that followed — the years of unexplained illness, the turn to testing-based methods, and the transformation recorded in her urine amino acid case study: from roughly half her markers abnormal in 2022 to a largely normalized profile in 2025. Testing is where her answers started — at every age.
