Thought you guys might find it interesting.

From Wendy Myers at liveto110.com and mineralpower.com
I collected this info from this podcast:
https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/podcast/self-quantification-podcasts/everything-need-know-hair-mineral-analysis/

Ca / P: The metabolic rate. How fast you create enzymes, digest food, etc. Higher than 2.6 makes you a slow oxidiser, under 2.6 makes you a fast oxidiser. Phosphorus is about protein usage - eating enoug? good sources? lack of hcl? too much exercise? not enough Zn?
Na / K: Overall vitality ratio. Most important ratio. Higher than 2.4 indicates feeling less energy, lower than 2.4 indicates feeling more energy. Na is a rough indication of Aldosterone ,release - pro-inflammatory. K is a rough indication of Cortisol release, anti-inflammatory.
Ca / K: Thyroid ratio. Higher than 4.2 = hypothyroid, Lower = Hyper.
Zn / Cu: Hormone levels in the body. Zn levels roughly correlates with Progesterone effect in women, testosterone effect in men. Cu levels roughly correlates with Estrogen effect in both sexes. Lower than 8 indicates more copper (and estrogen), higher than 8 indicates more zinc (progesterone / testerone).
Na / Mg: Adrenal Ratio. Lower than 4 goes towards burn-out, higher than 4 goes towards overactive adrenals.
Ca / Mg: Cardio vascular health. Lower than 7 indicates not enough carbs (rare) and higher than 7 can indicate too many carbs (more common).
Fe / Cu: Infection ratio. Lower than 0.5 indicates propensity towards bacterial infections, higher than 1.2 indicates propensity towards viral infections.

From Dr. Garret Smiths podcast at:
http://180radio.com/180degreehealth-13-mineral-ratios-dr-garrett-smith/

Ca / P: "Digestion Ratio" stomach and above. Too high and you feel like red meat sits like a rock, low stomach acid, bloated. Etc.

Na / K: Stress Ratio / Vitality Ratio
Na / Mg: Adrenal ratio
*If 1 or both are high, too much stress. Hard to relax.
If 1 high, 1 low people are "tired but wired".
If both high --> you're burning the candle at both ends.

Ca / K: Thyroid Ratio: The function. How well thyroid hormones are doing their job (where as blood tests just see if the thyroid hormones are being produced). People will noticed the biggest changes in feelings from this ratio changing. Can take awhile to fix. Too high is usually due to too much calcium, which can also be from too much vitamin D supplementation.
When this ratio is improved often thyroid symptoms clear up.

Zn / Cu: He doesn't think this ratio is useful. People can have hidden copper. He thinks better to get these individual levels right.

Ca / Mg: Blood sugar control. Calcification. Addiction tendency.
If its high = hypoglycemia, aka bad blood sugar control, you probably crave salts at every meal. You probably feel like falling asleep and crashing after lunch. (this is me!!! and my Ca / Mg is off the charts 19.33 when ideally its 7).
Too low can mean diabetic.

Fe / Cu: Infections. Same as Wendy basically. low ratio = fungal infection, high ratio = viral infection.

Writing down and sharing, thanks man, that is cooperation and it feels good! One day we will all be balancing counselors!

Cheers guys glad you find it useful!

as a heads up, i edited the first post with Dr. Garret Smiths ideas on what all the ratios mean. He has a slightly different take on it.

I found it interesting how much he emphasized the Ca / Mg ratio relating to blood sugar control (falling asleep after lunch!!) because my ratio was very high and i very much fall asleep after lunch. He also said it relates to calcification (hello MPB)

Saw this on a youtube video. Wow, you have to really go digging for this stuff. I know people have been confused about this, me included, so this post is to end the confusion.

If you're a slow, you want to be a slow 1. If you're a fast, you want to be a fast 1.

[mention]Canari[/mention]

Slow Oxidation:

Slow 1: decreased thyroid, decreased adrenals: Sustained energy but energy below optimum (but still, it is all aligned with slow oxidation. Best you can do). Synchronised response.
Slow 2: Increased adrenal, decreased thyroid: Imbalanced - energy fluctuations and mood swings
Slow 3: Decreased adrenal, increased thyroid: Imbalanced - resistance or exhausted stage of stress
Slow 4: Increased adrenal, increased thyroid: Acute alarm stage / resistance of stress

Fast Oxidation:

Fast 1: Increased adrenal, increased thyroid: Synchronised response.
Fast 2: Increased adrenal, reduced thyroid: Imbalanced - energy fluctuations and mood swings
Fast 3: Decreased adrenal, increased thyroid: Imbalanced response - resistance and exhaustion. (depression and irritability if chronic)
Fast 4: Decreased adrenal, decreased thyroid: Exhaustion, extreme fatigue, depression, anxiety

So... what is the difference between those 2?

I do not understand "synchronised response"! What is it?

Hi Ivy, the rest of the video was pretty standard stuff you can read anywhere. The topic i made about mineral ratios is good info.

I dont know why the pictures dont load but its basically the same as what i wrote underneath

I think its the minerals wont be looking good in the first and energy will be terrible. In the second energy will be good and minerals looking better.

I edited, so the links are working now.
With the 1st link, you can see both pics by just scrawling down to the fast pic.

For slow 1 they also say "reduced secretion, lower metabolic rate."

Well i think synchronization is everything going in the same direction for the optimal: slow, slow, slow or fast, fast, fast

This is what I remembered, when a practitionner told you you were not a slow 4 but a fast 1!

I found this through the good link you gave To Gary Moller:

faab9f_4c7b40c78b50458ea10e10e37d166af1~mv2.jpg


He says:

"The smiley face in the centre of the seesaw represents the "ideal" metabolic type, perfectly balanced and optimally functioning. Unfortunately, the perfect metabolic type does not exist, as our bodies are constantly trying to balance themselves in an effort to maintain homeostasis."

It reminds me my idea that instead of a scale, we should have a seesaw as logo! And with 2 children playing on it, as we want to stay full of energy as children!

Was reading some Dr. Wilson articles yesterday in the middle of the night. He is fucking crazy my friend. It is like a drug trip reading it. HAHA. Funny as fuck to read though. He has some good wisdom. And even his spiritual stuff makes sense. Things that I have noticed myself. But then he injects some insanity sauce into it. It is very entertaining to read.

you should read his article about how you should clean a woman 5 times a day with your dick, since when she walks around on the street she gets dirty and her vagina attracts entities which live there. So you have to insert your dick and slowly taking it out with a popping sound and boom she is clean.

Also Wilson suggests to have sex in a kitty litter box for modesty)) LOL


It is crazy that some people think he has something to do with ARL. He does have a good website and describes tons of NB basics. but this kind of crap scares people away, since they think that ARL is Wilson which is false.

I thought he does have strong ties with ARL? It seems like he is still a practitioner, trains practitioners, and his practitioners are allowed accounts with ARL to treat people

The thing I don't understand is he recommends this "pushing down" exercise thing where you visualise your energy going to your feet or something. I don't understand that at all or how it could benefit us, and he's saying its more important than everything else.

He also seems to say that EVERYONE is really a slow. fasts are just fake fasts. Therefore, we all need to only eat fat free meat and lots and lots of vegetables. Then he goes around reccing zinc and calcium to the slows... wtf lol
