Hair Test 30 -

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

You have really gotten almost all the information out of your hair test

according to Andy as far as I can see. Only other points were:

Uranium (U) - Stores in bones for long time. Uranium is retained due to low

iron. Increasing dietary iron decreases uranium body levels. Test serum ferritin

for indication of iron stores. Source: Granite, Yellow pigment in ceramics. 107

I have been looking into Dr Eck and 's hair testing which I find very

interesting. As mentioned before, all their work is based on unwashed hair so

does not strictly apply to DDI tests. But so far it has proved accurate in

reading people well when looking at people's hair test that I have know so far.

I don't want to confuse the issue and would advise others to bear in mind that

this is not according to Andy's Hair test book, but I noted some observations

for you and you can see if they fit:

Dr Eck and 's ratio's:

1) THE ADRENAL RATIO: Na/Mg (1-5) - Optimal is 4.17:1 (Dr Eck) Yours is 0.054 =

85% Energy loss and an Autonomic dominance pattern

Adrenal Exhaustion and chronic stress:

(i)Toxic metal levels are higher in the alarm stage because metabolism tends to

be faster and toxic metals are eliminated more rapidly.

(ii) Zinc and copper levels tend to be lower in the alarm stage.

(iii) Iron and manganese levels are lower in the exhaustion stage

Potassium levels in hair roughly correlates with cortisol levels.

Sodium levels in hair tends to reflect aldosterone activity.

2) Ca/K is the Thyroid Ratio = 135 = 85% Energy loss.

Dr. Eck found that a high calcium in relation to potassium is associated with a

slower oxidation rate. Thyroid activity lowers calcium. Potassium also

sensitizes the tissues to thyroid hormone. Also, calcium stabilizes cell

membranes and decreases cell permeability. A high calcium is associated with

sluggish thyroid activity and reduced cell permeability which also decreases

oxidation and cellular respiration. Note that diagnoses of hyperthyroidism are

possible in this instance and occur quite commonly. They occur because the body

may respond to reduced cell permeability and low cellular thyroid activity by

secreting more thyroid hormones. Thus blood tests and some symptoms will

indicate hyperthyroidism. However, it is not the same as a primary

hyperthyroidism which may have different causes. Mercury toxicity in the

pituitary can also cause a secondary hyperthyroidism in slow oxidizers.

Slow oxidation is defined as a calcium/potassium ratio greater than 4 and a

sodium/magnesium ratio less than 4.17.

3) Ca.Mg = The Sugar/Carb sensitivity ration = 3.65 Indicates low levels of

energy tending towards serious sugar sensitivity problems

4) Na/K = The Stress ratio = 2. Yours indicates low levels of energy and poor

health.

Dr Eck: A hair sodium/potassium ratio greater than about 4 indicates sympathetic

dominance. Greater than 8 is extreme

Sympathetic dominant individuals do not spend enough time in a parasympathetic

state to rebuild the body, so it eventually becomes depleted of nutrients or

burns out.

Much more common is emotionally or chemically-caused unhealthy parasympathetic

dominance. These people have given up on life and will not fight for anything.

They may advocate peace, but they are not at peace. They may sit around or they

may be active, but are in a give-up mode. Their hair analyses reveal a high

calcium/phosphorus ratio, slow oxidation, a sodium/potassium ratio less than

about 1.5 or perhaps a four-low-electrolyte pattern

5) Ca/P - Metabolizer speed or Sympathetic state (Dr ) = 10.2

Dr Eck = Exhaustion stage of stress, body becomes parasympathetic as the

sympathetic system is depleted. Digestion, absorption and utilization of

protein are impaired due to zinc deficiency, copper toxicity, improper gut flora

and other problems. This produces a low hair phosphorus. A parasympathetic

state is indicated by a calcium/phosphorus ratio greater than 2.5.

Overall your energy loss would be more that 85% of adrenals and thyroid meaning

you were functioning at less 6.25% of your energy production levels,

Dr. 's indicators of hidden copper:

Cu < 10 mcg/g

Zn/Cu < 6 or Zn/Cu > 12

Ca > 1000 mcg/g

K < 30 mcg/g

Ca/K > 12

Na/K < 2.3

Mercury toxicity

Likelihood of hidden copper: Very High

I hope this helps and does not confuse issues. You can see if it applies.
