Cell Wellbeing’s S-Drive technology works by converting natural wave frequencies (signatures) from hair samples to a digital file which is sent to our informational center in Hamburg, Germany. Here, our super-computer decodes, encodes and digitalizes the signature wave emanating from its resonance with that of the hair follicle and then reads it. It synthesizes over 800 individual data points. The process is relevant to the epigenetic data captured. The relevancy data is used to create the charts and tables of the completed Optimize reports. The technology uses hair follicle resonance and remote calculations to reveal challenges the body has been experiencing over time. By digitizing data from ~4 follicles, it taps into the hair’s ability to store epigenetic information, reflecting underlying metabolic processes even before symptoms appear. Results are accumulated in 15 minutes. The report gets emailed directly to you.

What info is being sent to the lab in Germany? The digitized info/data (signature wave) from the hair bulb itself. No personal data is sent. The spectrum coil collects the signature wave information before the strength of the signal reduces (in less than three minutes for an S- Drive spectrum coil). This information is digitized and packed into a secure file. The file is then sent to Germany where it is opened automatically and re-played as a signature sign wave form. Only from the signature sign wave data is the report generated. The spectrum coil signature sign wave gathering equipment in the S-Drive was the hardest thing to perfect. It took 5 long years of testing to develop, perfect and manufacture the Spectrum Coil and S-Drive. Once the data has been read in Germany, the report is returned and the assigned computer code then associates the data with the corresponding clients name and details – which never leave the computer. It is the responsibility of the practitioner to maintain a secure system of the client’s details.

After your Hair Scan, a personalized protocol will be created based on your unique results, lifestyle, and symptoms. This will include supplement recommendations to address deficiencies or imbalances identified in the scan, as well as food suggestions tailored to support your specific needs and avoid any triggers. If toxins, heavy metals, or other stressors are found, detox recommendations will be provided. In addition, lifestyle adjustments and modality recommendations, such as stress-reduction techniques or therapies like infrared saunas, may be suggested to further support you. Each protocol is unique.

The protocol is for 90 days which is meant to restore harmony in the body. It has taken a while for your body to respond to the things you have lived through. It

will, therefore, take at least a full three cycles of 90 days to naturally optimize.

Our bodies are constantly changing and adapting to epigenetic influences. The changes occur slowly because the systems are adapting to the new paradigm. Removing some sensitive foods and adding other nutritional foods empower change. Therefore it is important to evaluate these adaptations every 90 days, in order to maintain a state of wellbeing.

A blood test measures quantitatively the amount of cells (lymphocytes and Melanocytes), as well as a variety of chemical and biochemical parameters known as serum markers.  These include hormones, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, metabolites, minerals and electrolytes. The quantitative analysis is based on a straight comparison between the sample taken and the standards set by the world health organization (WHO), in terms concentration and amounts present in the sample compared to a given standard.

The S Drive is a quantitative test that uses the hair follicle to describe the course the body has taken over the last 3 months and it gives an indication of where the body is heading towards. In other words, it can be used not as a diagnostic tool but as a preventative tool, by changing the pathway the body (human physiology) is currently following.  The epigenetic reports highlight the potential risks to the metabolic processes that are influenced by the lifestyle choices we have made and the environmental exposures we have been exposed to. These influence the epigenetic pool which influences the protein coding DNA, creating proteins and enzymes giving rise to our tissue profile, not just blood circulation.

The S Drive selects up to 5 areas of priority to optimize the human physiology by adopting a number of suggestions that range in order of priority from what needs immediate attention, and thus action, to something that it simply advisable.

The changes implemented over a period of 90 days allow for the body to realign itself and restore its natural state of wellness and wellbeing (something we refer to as harmony) by taking into account epigenetics and the way this information is read, decoded and translated by the human body.

Included among the parameters that are of environmental origin and that severely impact the body are those caused by electromagnetic frequencies emanating from WIFI, mobile phones, computers, air conditioners and/or microwaves. These devices are constantly (24/7, 365 days and nights of the year) bombarding the body.  No blood test can provide results on such exposures. In addition, the S Drive can identify sources of radiation, the presence of toxins, microorganisms or food additives that potentially are impairing our health and ability to maintain our natural state of well-being. 

The S drive also makes suggestions as to what to do to address food intolerability and/or food sensitivity by simply changing and/or stopping the consumption of certain dietary products for over 90 days.

It is important to ensure compliance with any established recommendations or protocols for 90 days as it takes up to this long for the epigenetic profile to adapt to changes in dietary intake.

Note that no blood test gives the person a protocol to follow or advice as to what to do to change or improve any of the parameters that a blood test can measure.  This completely relies in the hand and head of the physician or the health professional that is guiding the person towards a better state of wellness.

Remember that we are what we consume and sometimes our intolerances (not allergies to food) are challenging us the most.

If I had bloodwork done that showed a high level of certain vitamins but the hair test showed a low level of the same vitamin, why would that be?

It’s important to remember the timeframe involved. Most traditional blood panels are representing the previous 72 hours. It’s also measuring what is in the blood but not necessarily what is being absorbed by the system. The hair test is evaluating the intake over the last 90 days. If there’s a discrepancy between the two, we would lean more towards the results in the hair test because of the longer time frame of evaluation. However, addressing the nutritional deficiencies is best done by abiding by the list of food suggestions rather than taking a supplement.

Via the signature wave in the hair follicle that is as unique as a finger print for every person. The food intolerances are based upon 236 markers. The highlighted food intolerances are in addition to the known food allergies. Allergies are not listed but the intolerances are. When we are awake and well, our metabolism is in ‘fight’ mode. The foods we eat, that we are intolerant too, during this time hardly affects us. However, when we revert to our resting position, our metabolism changes to a recovery mode. It is then, in our recovery mode, that our food intolerances cause our systems to work harder. The result is poor sleep patterns and reduced nutritional up take, amongst many other known factors. The first rule of action is to avoid the foods which are indicated in the report that we are intolerant too.

Hair is ideal for testing because it is formed from clusters of specialized cells in the hair follicle. During its growth phase, hair is exposed to the internal environment, including blood, lymph, and extracellular fluids. As hair continues to grow and reaches the skin's surface, its outer layers harden, locking in metabolic products accumulated during formation. This process provides a lasting record of activity, offering an economical and sensitive indicator of the long-term effects of diet, stress, and pathogen/toxin exposure, which are difficult to obtain through other clinical tests. In contrast, a blood test only reflects what is happening in the body over the last few hours. A hair scan provides a unique reading of cellular activity over a three-month period, considering that toxins are stored in body tissues rather than in the blood.

Yes. If the person does not have head hair, a sample can be taken from other locations on the body, such as the eyebrow, leg, or facial hair.

72 hours need to pass between hair dying and testing otherwise you will probably receive a false negative result on chemical toxins.

There are no age requirements. This test works for babies and children as well as the elderly. I typically don't test infants under 8 months, but as long as the child has hair, we can test it! The baby/child report is for ages 1-13. After 13, the child can do the adult wellbeing report.

Always start with a functional medicine detox to open detox pathways. We use a powerful comprehensive full body detoxification system that gently eliminates harmful toxins by supporting Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification to its highest degree. It is recommended that elimination occurs daily and for those that experience constipation, will need additional support.

After a functional medicine detox this is the order of detox (depending on what showed on the reports):

Parasite Detox > Candida & Bacteria Protocol > Mold Detox > Heavy Metal Detox

Dosing and products may vary based on your personal recommendations as it pertains to your individual case and hair test results. Detox protocols are offered to children as well with a unique dosing guide based on their age and weight.

More often than not, mold is found in these areas:

1) In areas of the home that collect or pool water such as sinks, faucets or tubs. Leaky roofs can also perpetuate infestations.

2) Above the area where cooking pots and utensils are found. The mold in these areas drop spores onto the cooking utensils before they are used.

3) In the fridge or fresh food storage areas.

4) Dishwasher and Laundry Machines.

5) Water bottles.

6) Soap dispensers or areas around tubs, water dispensers on refrigerators, & coffee makers (Keurig's especially).

The typical symptoms of mold are allergy type issues (nasal congestion, dry cough, sneezy or watery eyes), headaches, rash or hives or flare ups

on asthma or other respiratory issues.

Fungus and mold have life cycles of their own, which allows spores to be released during the full moon cycle. The spores remain dormant until they absorb nutrients and moisture, which is why detoxing fungal and mold growth should commence before a full moon and end about seven days after the full moon.

Parasites can exist in every organ and in the bloodstream. In order for a stool test to reflect parasites, some degree of infestation must have travelled through the GI track and landed in the final stage of elimination. Particularly when the infestation is recent, the bulk of the parasites are within the gut and not yet detected in the stool. It is recommended to always start with a hair test first.
