CALCIUM (Ca)
The tissue calcium level is elevated above normal. High tissue calcium does not necessarily indicate excessive calcium, but rather the calcium is not being properly utilized. Proper utilization is often dependent upon calcium's relationship with other essential minerals, such as phosphorus and magnesium. A deficiency of either or both can result in excessive calcium deposition into tissues other than the primary storage sites of calcium (bones and teeth). Deposition of calcium into the soft tissues, includes not only the hair, but also the skin, joints, arteries, lymph nodes, gallbladder, etc...
If soft tissue deposition of calcium continues for an extended period of time, certain conditions may develop, such as;

SOME FACTORS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO AN ELEVATED CALCIUM LEVEL
Low Thyroid Activity Low Phosphorus Retention Low Protein Intake High Carbohydrate Intake Tissue Alkalinity
MAGNESIUM (Mg)
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant metal found in the body, and is essential for muscle relaxation, protein synthesis, nerve excitability and energy production on a cellular level. However, magnesium has a sedating effect upon the body, and when in excess may contribute to a number of conditions, such as;

SOME FACTORS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO HIGH TISSUE MAGNESIUM LEVELS
Some factors that may contribute to elevated magnesium other than possible excessive magnesium intake, include;
High Carbohydrate Intake HCL Deficiency Elevated Tissue Calcium Low Protein Intake Hypothyroidism (Low Thyroid Function)
SODIUM (Na)
Your sodium level is elevated above normal. This is not uncommon for this particular metabolic type, as high sodium in the slow metabolizer (Type #2), is frequently associated with an acute or short-term reaction. This reaction may be due to an emotional stress or an alarm reaction as a result of a biological stress, such as an inflammatory condition.

Drinking Softened Water
Your germanium level of 0.004 mg% is below the established reference range for this trace element. However,
deficiency signs and conditions have not yet been documented in humans. Therefore, clinical significance cannot
be placed on a low germanium level at this time.
RUBIDIUM (Rb)
The current level of rubidium is elevated above the established reference range. Rubidium is a non-toxic element and is known to be associated with lithium. It is also frequently found to be elevated with potassium, however, its biological function remains to be seen. Therefore, significance of an elevated HTMA level is unknown at this time.
Sources include; fertilizers, corn and cereals. Rubidium is more commonly found in areas with acidic soils.
STRONTIUM (Sr)
Your strontium level is above the established reference range. In excess, strontium is apparently antagonistic to calcium metabolism, and can therefore interfere with normal calcium function. Strontium may be contained in some mouth rinses and dental varnishes used in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
NUTRIENT MINERAL RATIOS
This section of the report will discuss those nutritional mineral ratios that reveal moderate or significant deviations from normal.
Continuing research indicates that metabolic dysfunction occur not necessarily as a result of a deficiency or excess of a particular mineral level, but more frequently from an abnormal balance (ratio) between the minerals. Due to this complex interrelationship between the minerals, it is extremely important that imbalances be determined. Once these imbalances are identified, corrective therapy may then be used to help re-establish a more normal biochemical balance.
NOTE: The "Nutritional Graphic" developed by researchers at Trace Elements, and presented on the cover of this report shows the antagonistic relationships between the significant nutrients, including the elements (arrows indicate antagonistic effect upon absorption and retention).

DIETARY SUGGESTIONS
The following dietary suggestions are defined by several factors: the individual's mineral levels, ratios and metabolic type, as well as the nutrient value of each food including protein, carbohydrate, fat, and vitamin and mineral content. Based upon these determinations, it may be suggested that foods be avoided or increased temporarily to aid in the improvement of your biochemistry.
SLOW METABOLISM
Dietary habits may contribute to slow metabolism. Low protein, high carbohydrate, high fat intake and the consumption of refined sugars and dairy products have an excessive slowing-down effect upon metabolism and energy production.
GENERAL DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR THE SLOW METABOLIZER
* EAT A HIGH PROTEIN FOOD AT EACH MEAL...Lean protein is recommended and which should constitute at least 40% of the total caloric value of each meal. Recommended sources are fish, fowl and lean beef. Other good sources of protein include bean and grain combinations and eggs. Increased protein intake is necessary in order to increase the metabolic rate and energy production.
* INCREASE FREQUENCY OF MEALS...while decreasing the total caloric intake for each meal. This is suggested in order to sustain the level of nutrients necessary for energy production, and decrease blood sugar fluctuations.
* EAT A MODERATE AMOUNT OF UNREFINED CARBOHYDRATES...Carbohydrate intake should not exceed 40% of total daily caloric intake. Excellent sources of unrefined carbohydrates include whole grain products, legumes and root vegetables.
* AVOID ALL SUGARS AND REFINED CARBOHYDRATES...This includes white and brown sugar, honey, candy, soda pop, cake, pastries, alcohol and white bread.
* AVOID HIGH PURINE PROTEIN...Sources of high purine protein include: liver, kidney, heart, sardines, mackerel and salmon.
* REDUCE OR AVOID MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS...Due to elevated fat content and high levels of calcium, milk and milk products including "low-fat" milk should be reduced to no more than once every three to four days.
* REDUCE INTAKE OF FATS AND OILS...Fats and oil include fried foods, cream, butter, salad dressings, mayonnaise, etc... Fat intake should not exceed 20% of the total daily caloric intake.
* REDUCE FRUIT JUICE INTAKE...until the next evaluation. This includes orange juice, apple juice, grape juice and grapefruit juice. Note: Vegetable juices are acceptable.
* AVOID CALCIUM AND/OR VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS...unless recommended by physician.
METHIONINE RICH FOODS
The following foods are a rich source of the essential amino acid methionine, which supplies sulfur to the cells for the activation of enzymes, and energy metabolism. Sulfur is also involved in detoxification processes. Toxic substances are combined with sulfur, converted to a nontoxic form and then excreted.
The following foods may be consumed liberally during course of therapy:
