Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I am curious if those of you who are talking about having blood sugar regulation problems, also had Arsenic show up high on your hair tests. I meet the counting rules for mercury, but also have very high Arsenic levels in my hair, and when reading the sections about Arsenic in HTI, its says that Arsenic can affect your blood sugar regulation. I recently had a fasting blood draw done to check this, but I haven't gotten the results yet. So maybe having both metals makes this worse?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi Jackie In the hair analysis I had done two years ago I had no arsenic, just high mercury, and a little lead. What was significant with me was the ratio of calcium to magnesium, which Andy identifies as being key in blood sugar regulation. Mine was 55.15 - he says a ratio of 30 is ideal. So I am way over, and true enough, have major blood sugar issues. What I don't know is how to treat it. Is it actually to do with calcium? - should I take more or less? - or is the elevated calcium due to thryoid issues (which I am treating with Armour) - or will it all sort itself out when mercury levels fall? I noticed that my reactive hypoglycemia got worse when I took calcium supplements, and yet according to the Hair Analysis book I should be taking calcium supplements with high calcium showing up in my hair. Sigh. It is a total mystery, and Pam is right - it is a major quality of life issue for me and my family.
