HTI questions

[Guest guest]

So my HTI book came in and I've been reading it, but I have some

questions. FWIW, I am not having one of my brighter days. sigh.

----

In the section about Ca, Mg, Na, K and P ratios (pg 111-114) it

mentions that the DDI report doesn't include the K/Ca ratio, and gives

a range of 0.03 to 0.35. Then on the next page it says, " When Ca/K

and Na/Mg are elevated... " But there is no range given for Ca/K. Is

this a typo? Is this refering to the same ratio we just manually

calculated on the previous page? Can it be expressed either way?

Which way does it need to be calculated?

Or am I doing something wrong? 'Cause when I divide Ca (115) by K

(110) (which would be Ca/K, right?) it's a different number than

dividing K by Ca (K/Ca). But either number is significantly higher

than 0.35 so I just don't know if I'm understanding it.

On pg 112 it says that fast metabolizers have a low ratio and slow

metabolizers have a high ratio (with a ref range of 1 to 12). Then in

the next paragraph it says, " Slow metabolizers often show lower hair

toxic levels for a given body burden than fast metabolizers do. This

is to say that someone with a calcium to phosphorus ratio below 1 may

be quite toxic but have all the bars in the toxic element section of

the hair test within the green zone. " So how is a slow metabolizer

going to have a ratio below 1? I do have a ratio below 1, so am I

fast or slow?

I am also unsure I'm understanding the whole " Meaning of Essential and

Other Element Results " chapter. I meet two of the counting rules so

I'm reading it from the deranged transport point of view. In several

places it says that in deranged transport a high reading is probably

still low. But it's less clear whether low readings are actually low.

If I'm deranged and my reading is low, is it really low? Or if a

high reading is really low, is a low reading really high?

I have 14 bars left and 9 right. Of the 14 left, only 1 stays in the

green the rest are either yellow or red - low and very low. So I'd

really like to understand if the low readings mean anything when

deranged. Right now, I feel quite deranged from trying to understand

this. LOL.

I know I'm not even half-way through the book, so if my questions are

pre-mature and I should just shut up and read, tell me.
