DDI Hair Test Results-Please Help

[Guest guest]

The following is the result of my most recent hairtest. Previous

test results were posted if anyone cares to compare the results to

these. Comments and help with interpretation appreciated.

Thanks,Gladioli

DDI Hair Elements Test. Have Adrenal Hypofunction, Thyroid

Hypofuncition, Severe MCS, IBD.

Taking hydrocortisone, armour, on SCD diet, chelation w/ALA since

October 2005 using 25mg and Andy's dosing schedule. (could not

tolerate DMPS or DMSA at any dose) Difficulty doing labs because end

up with 2-3 months of numbness/tingling/pain radiating from

venipuncture site, so do labs only if absolutely necessary.

Any idea why your sodium would be so high? Usually in adrenal hypofunction

the sodium is low and potassium high. Also, in hypothyroidism, usually the

calcium and magnesium are above range. Based on what you've written before,

no surprise that your arsenic is high.

I just replied to this on A-M, but I will give you more

details:

Your K/Ca is .02 (range .03-.35), Na/K is 83 (range .5-10),

and K is low at 3 (range 8-38). According to Andy's HTI book,

all of these indicators suggest low thyroid.

Also the combination of slow metabolizer (Ca/P=.66), high

Na/Mg=10, and high Ca/K=45 suggest impaired immune function

(Andy mentions thymus glandular to improve immunity). Digestive

enzymes are also suggested with these results.

(Please check my arithmetic to be sure my calculations are

right.)

I just replied to this on A-M, but I will give you more

details:

Your K/Ca is .02 (range .03-.35), Na/K is 83 (range .5-10),

and K is low at 3 (range 8-38). According to Andy's HTI book,

all of these indicators suggest low thyroid.

Also the combination of slow metabolizer (Ca/P=.66), high

Na/Mg=10, and high Ca/K=45 suggest impaired immune function

(Andy mentions thymus glandular to improve immunity). Digestive

enzymes are also suggested with these results.

(Please check my arithmetic to be sure my calculations are

right.)

Gladioli,

The hair tests are showing progress. I hope it feels that way!

Although no counting rules are met, you are close on counting

rule 4 with 12 in green. Arsenic is still red high but the

level has dropped a bit.

Your ratios are shifting toward normal. You have a ways to

go, but Na/K moved from 107 to 83 to 32. This is still out

of range, but it's a huge improvement! The K/Ca moved from

..015 to .02 to .07 - this is now in range! Your potassium

level has increased quite a bit. All of these point to

improvement in your thyroid function. The increase

in your Armour dose seems to have helped.

In case you are not feeling these improvements yet, the hair

tests are showing evidence that good stuff is happening.
