About the author

Dr Peter Holsman is an energetic, imaginative and resourceful medical practitioner who has dedicated his career to finding the secrets to boosting people's energy.

Early in his practice, Dr Holsman discovered that many people leading busy lifestyles complained about everyday problems that could not be treated merely by prescribing pills or potions. This stirred his curiosity, and after further research Peter confirmed that many conditions that cause loss of vitality also cause aging, and vice versa. Most importantly, he found that the conditions would readily respond to a blend of natural therapies and modern medicine.

One such treatment or assessment on which he heavily relies is hair mineral tissue analysis, which is the focal point of this e-book. HTMA is an important test used to reveal underlying health issues for those people who know they are unwell but their conventional medical tests are normal.
