Lisa refers to minerals as the foundation of the home that need to be kept in check in order to make sure “the house is strong and stable.” HTMA testing along with bloodwork from your client’s doctor can give a practitioner a clearer picture of protocol development. In a single hair sample, the tissue is stable over time and provides several months of biochemical activity versus just a snapshot from blood work.

Husk Cherries, or Physalis pruinosa, are a small yellow-orange fruit, related more closely to tomatoes than cherries. They grow within a thin paper-like husk, which dries up and sheds when the fruit is ripe. Husk cherries can be enjoyed fresh, turned into jam, dressings, or cooked into sauces. There are a few varieties that are native to tropical climates, and most have a sweet pineapple taste. They are rich in beta carotene and are a good source of vitamin C. We recommend this Paleo Spicy Husk Cherry and Lime Vinaigrette recipe by IHN graduate Caitlin Isles.
