Hair Analysis Patterns Related to Digestion Problems

HAIR ANALYSIS PATTERNS RELATED TO DIGESTION DISORDERS:

It could easily go without saying that digestion is critical when it comes to health and wellness.  How many of us actually take the time to check this out.

Zinc and copper imbalances.These are extremely common to digestion problems

Phosphorus less than about 13 mg%. This indicates improper protein synthesis, which often has to do with zinc deficiency, the diet, intestinal infections and/or improper digestion.

A sodium/potassium ratio less than about 2. This can indicate reduced vitality, reduced digestive enzyme production, and low hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Four lows pattern. This is often associated with digestion weakness, often due to overuse of the sympathetic nervous system and chronic and often severe fatigue.

Very slow oxidation. This is often associated with digestion system weakness, hypoglycemia, cravings for sweets and starches, and constipation

Sympathetic dominance pattern. The sympathetic nervous system powerfully inhibits proper digestion and elimination. Digestion is parasympathetic and requires a calm state to function properly which in our modern day high stress environment is not that common.

Elevated lead, cadmium, mercury, aluminium, arsenic or other toxic metals- These metals often impair digestion and elimination.

Very fast oxidizer. This is often associated with high levels of gastric acidity and conditions such as gastritis, and possibly ulcers and diarrhea.

The reality of the situation is that if you don't have enough zinc you will have trouble with digestion and zinc deficiency is very common. Without the zinc you will then have trouble absorbing calcium, magnesium and iron. Funny "co-incidence" don't you think that we also seem to have trouble with those minerals!!

In addition if you are over forty then stomach acid starts to naturally decline affecting your digestion. You are what you eat is not exactly true when it comes to digestion. It would be far more accurate to say you are what you digest. A hair tissue analysis is the starting point in assessing your digestion status.

Yours in Health,
