Re: NEW PATIENT, please give your opinion on hair analasis.

Ca/Mg of 42.7 says big problem with blood sugar regulation.

That would be important to address. Low glycemic diet.

You can get sulfate from epsom salts (baths or cream).

You need a lot more supplements than you have mentioned

and higher doses. Vit C, omega-3s, lots more magnesium,

others.

I wonder what type of arthritis you have - I think worth

getting a good diagnosis.

/ anyone

I wonder if you could explain WHY a high ratio of Ca/Mg means blood

sugar regulation. In a hair analysis I had done two years ago I had a

ratio of 55.15, and sure enough I have huge problems with blood sugar.

What I would love to know is why having so much calcium floating around

in the body causes blood sugar problems? Is it because it stops the

insulin from working properly? I take lots of magnesium to antagonise

the calcium, chromium picolinate, eat low GI, and have just started

taking Vitamin K and Vitamin D to help absorption of calcium. In a

recent urine test my level of calcium was more than two times as high

as it should be. How does mercury cause this? This is my biggest

mercury problem - well, along with the chronic fatigue, shot adrenals

and hypothyroidism.

thanks for any input

I dont have problems with high glycemic foods like being tired shortly

after a meal. Yes the ratio is out of balance but this i think is

because ive only been taking magnesium and no calcium.

> You can get sulfate from epsom salts (baths or cream).

Yes. I have not done this because glucosamine works so well for me.

I'm not sure about this sulfation issue though, its an hypothesis at

this time.

I am taking lots of all of the above and i dont feel i need to take

more magnesium. The hair test shows i am taking enough.

I dont have an official diagnosis but i have mayor cracking of all

joints and hear grinding in my neck if i dont supplement.

My hay fever is also very bad right now. I thought it was the flew but

i took something for hay fever and its working. I have never had it as

bad as now. Lots of exposure the last weeks. It is definately making

me tired.
