Hair test confusion, was Re: Jada , Dean, Your opinion please

[Guest guest]

Summer,

I think I understand where some of the confusion comes from, and

I'll try to explain. When we are talking about the adrenal sign, it

is when calcium and magnesium go up (or down) together, and sodium

and potassium go down (or up) together, so those pairs go in the

opposite direction.

As a shortcut in writing this, we may say that Ca/Mg is up, and Na/K

is down. So we actually mean Ca *and* Mg are up, not the

mathematical ratio of Ca divided by Mg, and the same for Na and K.

We have all used this shorthand, and technically it's not correct or

can be misleading, especially because at the bottom of the hair

tests are *actual mathematical ratios* which we do also comment on

and take into consideration.

So if we say your Ca/Mg was low, and you might have blood sugar

problems, then we are talking about the actual ratio at the bottom

of the test. If we say your Ca/Mg was low as part of the adrenal

sign, we actually mean both your Ca *and* Mg values are low.

So yes, this can get confusing, and I think it explains your

questions, and I don't believe that made any mistakes,

because she does a wonderful job of interpreting hair tests, but her

and the rest of us that use this shorthand for the adrenal sign that

makes it looks like a ratio instead of an *and*, should maybe

consider writing this differently in the future.
