Oxidizer Status (F) Process the world through their adrenal glands. Has an absolute need for copper in their supplement routine. The dynamic with fast is they are aggravated by a lack of copper. Fast oxidizer loves to burn through the slow minerals and loves to hold on to or retain the fast minerals.FAST 1: classic fast one would have sodium and potassium above the redline above 1when it's The fast oxidizer is supposed to have calcium and magnesium 20% below the red line.FAST 2:FAST 3:FAST 4: A four it means BURNED OUT adrenals, I don't know that I would completely eliminate magnesium but I think scaling it back and really putting emphasis on the adrenal cocktailBring in some Aswaganda to offer some supportAsking about… What we do about copper… Where the fast oxidizer is most vulnerableis with three minerals1. Calcium2. Magnesium3. CopperMany fast oxidizers when they get under stress are gonna lose a lot of calcium andmagnesium. Under stress for a long time, and now burned out sodiumand potassium. What's going to bring sodium back is copper support.We sometimes need to go beyond the bee pollen and the wholefood vitamin C and beyond the beef liver - the three very bioavailableforms of copper. In that case, we use Standard Process copper liver chelate. It provides copper even though the name would suggest that it chelates copper.

A Balanced Oxidizer -
The Balanced Oxidizer is an ideal pattern showing ideal levels of essential minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. When these five nutrient minerals are at their ideal levels concurrently, then they also are in ideal balance with each other that is reflected in ideal TMA ratios between each pair of minerals. When a person’s mineral pattern is close to the Balanced Oxidizer pattern, there is usually a peak level of functioning with high energy levels, resiliency in dealing with stress, and a strong immune system. A Balanced Oxidation pattern provides the mind/body system with the opportunity to most optimally regulate all the different functions that are vital to healthy living. Using this ideal mineral pattern as a model, the purpose of nutritional supplement programs based on TMA is to bring an individual’s TMA pattern closer and closer to this ideal Balanced Oxidizer pattern. This will lead to more optimal energy production and better health. In this way, the Balanced Oxidizer can be related to optimal health and energy on the Health/Energy Continuum.
YOUR OXIDIZER STATUS IS SLOW, knowing your oxidizer status helps us know what your ideal HTMA should look at. For a SLOW we strive to see Calcium and Magnesium at 20% above the red line, Sodium and Potassium at 20% below the red line.The dynamic in the SLOW oxidizer is aggravated by the fact that you have too much iron in storage. What's aggravating the SLOW state is the build up of iron. When minerals aren’t right they affect enzymes and they create symptomsWilson on the QUALITIES OF a Slow: 1. Frequency of Bowel Movements.One or fewer movements per day is commonly associated with slow oxidation. 2. Dry or Oily Skin and Hair. Slow oxidizers are more prone to dry skin and dry hair. Slow oxidizers may have better muscle definition and dryer appearance to their skin. Many slow oxidizers are still in a sympathetic dominant condition described elsewhere, in which their sympathetic system is in fact even more active than in many fast oxidizers. This causes poor circulation to the extremities. 3. Blood Circulation impaired, tendency for cold hands and feet. 4. Food Cravings, chronic low blood sugar. sweet, salt d/t impaired adrenal glandular activity. (low aldosterone). 5. Blood Pressure,120/80 or lower. D/T weaker vascular tone, and/or low sodium levels which cause a reduced blood volume and blood pressure. However, slow oxidizers are prone to hardening of the arteries, as are fast oxidizers. This can cause high blood pressure later in life, in particular. 6. Sweating, less, and many hardly sweat at all.7. Mood. Slower mental activity, tendency for sluggishness, lethargy, apathy, and depression. Very slow oxidation is associated with despair, brain fog and confusion. 8. Energy level. A fast metabolic rate, within certain limits, is associated with higher energy levels than is a slow oxidation rate. Fatigue and lethargy can be experienced by both types, but is more common with slow oxidation. 9. Animal Protein Preference. Slow oxidizers tend to prefer chicken, fish, or vegetarian proteins because these low-fat sources of protein speed up and normalize the slow oxidizers' metabolic rate. They are also easier to digest as they contain less fat. They also contain somewhat less etheric energy and thus have a lower dynamic action than the red meats. 10. Body Shape. The classic slow oxidizer has a pear-shaped body, especially later in life. This is due to sluggish thyroid gland activity, which is more associated with fat deposition on the hips and legs. The upper body is often thinner.However, combinations of these two are very common, because people pass through various stages of stress at different times of their lives. Also, one can be a mixed type, which also gives rise to combinations of body shapes.One final note regarding body shapes is in order. The sympathetic dominant person often has a very angular body. That is, there is little fat deposition. This is basically good, though if the sympathetic dominance persists, serious health problems including heart disease, cancer and others develop in these individuals as well.This is seen in women, particularly, who are what is called progesterone dominant. Estrogen is responsible for fat deposition, especially in the hips and breast areas. Women with low estrogen tend to be more angular.Women with higher estrogen levels tend to be more curvy, fleshy and at times one calls them more voluptuous shaped...11. Cell membrane permeability. Fast oxidizers tend to have more permeable cell membranes than slow oxidizers. This may be because calcium that builds up in the tissues of slow oxidizers tends to stabilize cell membrane potentials. This fact is very important for hormone imbalances, in particular, and perhaps for blood sugar and other types of metabolic problems as well. 12. Acid or alkaline. Slow oxidizers tend to be more acidic at the cellular level. The reasons for the differences between fast and slow oxidizers is that fast oxidizers have less toxic metals, in general, which are very acidic. They also have far better alkaline mineral reserves, in general, than slow oxidizers. This is likely the major factor.Slow oxidizers also have more biounavailable calcium that does not seem to neutralize acids as well in the body. In addition, slow oxidizers tend to have more infections, which tend to be more acidic. 13. Yang and yin. Slow oxidizers are more yin. This may sound esoteric, but it affects every area of human functioning. Yang is warmer, more contracted, more masculine, more ruddy or reddish with better circulation and in terms of psychology more aggressive and sexual.Yin is colder, more ill, more expanded and tired, less aggressive, less sexual, and more pale or white with poorer circulation. This is a very brief description of yin and yang. For more information, read Yin and Yang Healing on this site.III. SLOW OXIDATION A person with a slow oxidation rate has decreased activity of the adrenal and thyroid glands. This may or may not be revealed on standard blood tests.The glands themselves, and at times, the sympathetic nervous system, are both usually depleted of nutrients and do not function well. It is a resistance or exhaustion stage of stress.A less healthy parasympathetic state. In part for this reason, slow oxidation is related to a more parasympathetic state of body chemistry with less fight-or-flight activity. In almost all cases, the sympathetic nervous system is exhausted and the person moves into an unhealthy parasympathetic state by default.A lower energy state. About 80 to 85% of adults are in a slow oxidation state of body chemistry. It is a decidedly lower energy state with, and perhaps caused by more impairment of the electron transport system in the mitochondria, where most biochemical energy is produced.Biochemistry. This impairment is caused primarily by replacement of the bioavailable forms of minerals such as copper, iron, manganese and others with some of the less bioavailable forms of these minerals such as oxides and other forms.This disables the critical enzymes in the energy cycles to a substantial degree. Adaptive energy production decreases, and the person moves into slow oxidation. This can occur even in babies, today, and generally always occurs by age 10 or so in most people. They usually spend the rest of their lives in slow oxidation, and often in poor health.Without sufficient energy, the body is unable to repair and regenerate itself fast enough. This causes degeneration of the body until overt health problems begin to occur. Mental aspects. Also, low energy gives rise to the common mental/emotional symptoms of slow oxidation such as apathy, fatigue, introversion, and depression. If the situation is severe enough, one experiences suicidal thoughts and despair as the body’s energy system fails to a greater degree.

YOUR OXIDIZER STATUS IS FAST, knowing your oxidizer status helps us know what your ideal HTMA should look like. For a FAST we strive to see Calcium and Magnesium at 20% below the red line, Sodium and Potassium at 20% above the red line, Copper, Iron, Zinc and Manganese bars at the same height, when not the same height, it is a sign of stress. The magnesium loss in a FAST oxidizer is chronic, and the body's ability to hold onto the sodium and potassium gets compromised. A FAST will hold onto the "fast minerals" - sodium and potassium and burn through the slow minerals, calcium and magnesium. The proliferation of drug and medication usage today means that the basic FAST oxidizer patterns are often distorted. This is because drugs and medications often have a profound effect on the essential nutrient minerals thatare measured in a TMA. Drug and medication effects on these minerals oftenlead to the common side effects of these medical treatments. Process world through our adrenal, so MAG loss is greater than the slow oxidizer??? Wilson on the Qualities of a FAST:1. Frequency of Bowel Movements. Increased metabolic activity is associated with increased peristaltic activity and hence more frequent bowel movements in the fast oxidizer. Fast oxidizers may have more than one bowel movement per day. 2. Dry or Oily Skin and Hair. Increased metabolic activity is associated with increased activity of the sebaceous and oil glands of the skin and scalp. This tends to cause more a greater tendency for oily skin and hair in the fast oxidizer. Also fast oxidizers tend to have a more watery appearance of their skin, and poorer muscle definition for this reason. Also, fast oxidizers often have a more ruddy complexion. This may be due to higher blood pressure, use of alcohol or better circulation in the skin. This is true even though the sympathetic nervous system tends to move blood inward, away from the periphery of the body3. Blood Circulation. An increased rate of metabolism in the fast oxidizer is associated with enhanced blood circulation, and correlates with a tendency to warmer hands and feet, even in cold weather. 4. Food Cravings Food cravings can express the body's desire to balance chemistry. Fast oxidizers tend to crave fats, butter and red meat, foods which slow the metabolic rate. They may also crave sweets or carbohydrates if they do not eat enough fats and oils. 5. Blood Pressure Fast oxidation is associated with increased vascular (sympathetic) tone, and sodium retention due to elevated aldosterone levels. These frequently result in a blood pressure of 120/80 or greater. Fast oxidizers are also more prone to labile or changing high blood pressure. This is because greater sympathetic nervous system activity will cause momentary constriction of the arteries due to fatigue, emotional upset or other stressors. prone to hardening of the arteries, his can cause high blood pressure later in life, in particular.6. Sweating nhanced metabolic activity increases the generation of heat in body tissues. This is associated with increased sweating in the fast oxidizer. 7. Mood In fast oxidation, all metabolic processes speed up, including mental functioning. This can result in a tendency to anxiety, irritability, nervousness, or jitteriness. 8. Energy level A fast metabolic rate, within certain limits, is associated with higher energy levels than is a slow oxidation rate. Fatigue and lethargy can be experienced by both types, but is more common with slow oxidation.9. animal Protein Preference Fast oxidizers require more fat, and tend to prefer red meats to other meats, as they contain a higher percentage of fat. Fast oxidizers may also prefer the high-purine proteins such as sardines, anchovies and organ meats.10. Body Shape Classically, the fast oxidizer corresponds to a more ‘Cushinoid’ body shape, so named after an illness called Cushing’s disease. The person is not as tall, and is broad in the middle.This is sometimes called the apple-shaped body. The legs and arms are thinner. There is often a bulge in the belly. This is due to high cortisol, which in turn causes high insulin, which deposits fat in the belly area.Caution: Beware of using body shape or other physical characteristics to assign a metabolic type to anyone or to recommend a nutrition program. Many times you are viewing a person as they were some years ago, in terms of their body chemistry. I tried this for several months and found the hair mineral analysis did not correlate with my guesswork based on symptoms and body characteristics. I also found the hair test gave me more accurate information than just using the symptoms or signs described above. I learned through the experience to trust the hair tissue mineral analysis and began to get far better results with patients.11. Cell membrane permeability Fast oxidizers tend to have more permeable cell membranes than slow oxidizers. This may be because calcium that builds up in the tissues of slow oxidizers tends to stabilize cell membrane potentials. This fact is very important for hormone imbalances, in particular, and perhaps for blood sugar and other types of metabolic problems as well.12. Acid or alkalineFast oxidizers tend to be more alkaline at the cellular level, Blood, urine and saliva pH levels do not correlate well with the cellular level and are often useless for determining the true cellular acidity. fast oxidizers have less toxic metals, in general, which are very acidic. They also have far better alkaline mineral reserves, in general, than slow oxidizers. This is likely the major factor.13. Yang and yin Fast oxidizers are usually much more yang. This may sound esoteric, but it affects every area of human functioning. Yang is warmer, more contracted, more masculine, more ruddy or reddish with better circulation and in terms of psychology more aggressive and sexual.Wilson on FAST oxidationThose with a fast oxidation rate tends to be anxious, irritable, in a hurry, and aggressive if their oxidation rate is very fast. They are usually somewhat emotional, short-tempered and high-strung. They easily become anxious and wound up, and may need sedative drugs to slow down.Their blood sugar and blood pressure tend to be on the high side of normal. They are often warm and sweat easily. Their brains often work well, with fast thinking.They usually have oily skin, and some tendency for frequent or loose bowel movements. They may gain weight in the area of the abdomen due to high levels of cortisol and cortisone.They are in a fight-or-flight mode too much of the time. This uses up certain nutrients and eventually can result in symptoms and illnesses associated with this metabolic type. These include high blood pressure, fatal heart attacks, anxiety, panic attacks, arthritis, and others.TYPES OF FAST OXIDATION It is helpful to distinguish true fast oxidation from temporary fast oxidation: 1. True fast oxidation is found mainly in babies and children under the age of about 3- 8 years of age. They have high levels of etheric energy in the body, and this tends to push their oxidation rate into the fast range.2. Temporary fast oxidation (also called a slow oxidizer under stress). This is almost always the case in anyone over the age of about 8 to 10 years old. It is also helpful to distinguish healthy fast oxidation from what is called tired fast oxidation.A healthy fast oxidizer has a sodium/potassium ratio of 2.5 or higher.A tired fast oxidizer has a sodium/potassium ratio less than 2.5. At times, he or she may also have a calcium or magnesium level that is above the ideal values of 40 mg% for calcium and 6 mg% for magnesium. CAUSES FOR FAST OXIDATION These are: 1. Early life. All babies are born in mild fast oxidation. Usually, before they leave the hospital, the oxidation rate speeds up tremendously. This can be due to stress or due to administering vaccines that stress the body.Vaccination is a horrible practice that is ruining the children today! Please read the facts in the Vaccination article on this site, and do not be swayed by your doctor or the media.Most children remain in this metabolic condition up to the age of between 3 and about 10. Then they slow down into slow oxidation, in almost all cases. 2. Stress fast oxidation. These are adults or some older children who are only in fast oxidation because they are under stress of a type that forces their bodies into faster oxidation. Dietary factors that can cause this are the use of caffeine, sugar, bread, cigarettes or alcohol. Some people also use irritant substances such as hot spices.Other stimulants include some medical drugs such as amphetamines, and cocaine, crack, crystal meth, Ecstacy, and other recreational drugs.Other toxic chemicals such as certain pesticides can also have the same effect. Excess toxic metals in the body can also act as a stressor that pushes a person into a fast oxidation rate. These are discussed below.Other common stimulants are lack of rest, too much work, fears, anger, hatred, working in noisy environments, domestic arguments, or financial stress.When the stress, which is often biochemical, is relieved, these individuals move into slow oxidation. If it happens quickly, it is called a crash landing, which is somewhat unpleasant, although it can be taken care of easily with the proper diet and nutritional supplements. 3. Dietary fast oxidation. These people remain in fast oxidation because they do not eat enough fats and oils – foods that slow the oxidation rate. Some are vegetarians, or semi-vegetarians who do not like to eat meat, eggs or cheese that all contain fats. Some also eat fruit, sugars and other high-carbohydrate foods such as chips, pasta or bread that can keep them in fast oxidation.Some do this unconsciously, while others know what they are doing, and prefer to stay in fast oxidation by eating certain foods and avoiding others that slow their oxidation rate. 4. Toxic fast oxidation. Certain toxic metals, as they build up in the body, cause a fast oxidation rate. These include cadmium, nickel, and an unusual group of mineral compounds called “the amigos”.The amigos are toxic, oxide forms of aluminum, iron, or manganese. These are widely distributed in the environment and in our food. They also may include oxide forms of chromium, selenium, copper, cobalt, boron, molybdenum, lithium and cobalt. Rarely they include oxides of calcium and magnesium.They are all powerful oxidants and irritants to the body and can cause a faster oxidation rate as a secondary effect of their irritating presence.These often accumulate in the kidneys, in particular, but also at times elsewhere in the body such as in the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, nervous system, brain or elsewhere. Other minerals that can cause or contribute to a fast oxidation rate are other forms of copper and mercury.Some people are born with too much of these toxic metals, or one can acquire them from food, occupations, or other places. Toxic fast oxidation can always be corrected with a nutritional balancing program, though it may take months or occasionally several years of following a properly designed nutritional balancing program. When the toxic metals are removed, the oxidation rate promptly slows down. 5. Running away. Some fast oxidizers are “running away”, biochemically speaking, in a way that causes a fast oxidation rate. The situation can be termed an avoidance of life pattern.A few are in a Step Up Mineral Pattern, a dangerous mineral pattern that is associated with heart attacks, strokes and other health catastrophes. A properly performed hair mineral test will reveal this pattern.These people are running away from life, or stepping out of life quickly. It is important to reverse this pattern before trouble occurs. This is not hard to do if one identifies the pattern. 6. Infection fast oxidation. This is a less common situation. A few individuals have an infection of a type that speeds up the oxidation rate. These are often bacterial infections that cause high fevers, for example. 7. Vampire fast oxidation. Some adult fast oxidizers, are energy vampires. This means they have mastered methods to steal some energy from others. A hair mineral analysis often reveals a fast oxidation rate with a normal or even elevated sodium/potassium ratio. A double pattern, or more pronounced pattern of this type, occurs if the sodium/potassium ratio is high and the calcium/magnesium ratio is elevated as well.Interestingly, the person may report few symptoms. A separate article entitled Energy Vampirism discusses this topic. 8. “Beam me up Scottie” pattern. Consuming a lot of fruit causes a type of fast oxidation mineral pattern that I call Beam Me Up, Scottie pattern. It is fairly rare. 9. Excitement fast oxidation. These people are in fast oxidation because they are extremely excited. This happens, at times, during a nutritional balancing program as a person begins to get well, often after years of trying different programs and going to doctors with little or no success. 10. Farmer fast oxidation. Another more rare cause of fast oxidation is working as a farmer. The earth radiates certain energies that these people pick up. This type of fast oxidation may also be due, in part, to handling farm chemicals, especially superphosphate fertilizers and pesticides.Many farmers are also exposed to toxic metals used in farm implements such as nickel-plated machinery, and cadmium or lead found in lubricants, gasoline and elsewhere. 11. Toxic potassium fast oxidation. This is a very temporary fast oxidation rate caused usually by the elimination from the body of large amounts of a toxic form of potassium. Usually, this only occurs during a nutritional balancing program. For more on this topic, please read Toxic Potassium on this website. 12. A fast oxidizer personality. This is a personality type that loves “speed” and thrills, is often somewhat emotionally immature, and is often in denial, to a degree, and likes it.This personality type loves fast oxidation, and may unconsciously do things to help remain in this mineral pattern. For example, the person may seek out stressful situations, use stimulants, smoke cigarettes, or do other things in order to remain in fast oxidation. 13. Medical drug fast oxidation. Some people have a fast oxidation rate because they are taking medications, specifically thyroid hormones (Synthroid, Armour thyroid, Levothyroxine, Naturethroid or other brands), or adrenal hormones such as DHEA, cortisone, cortisol or others. Other stimulant drugs could also be involved. 14. Back or neck tension. This can cause a fast oxidation rate because tightness or tension in these areas can pinch off and stimulate the sympathetic nerves that come off the spine. This, in turn, stimulates the sympathetic nervous system including the adrenal and/or thyroid glands.

Na - SODIUM (S) Sodium LOW - HIGH STRESS. There are certain times of the year where potassium is king, especially in the summer and the fall. There's a lot of potassium rich foods that we can really partake of, and so we want take advantage of that when we can. The key with the potassium rich foods though, is you've got to make sure that they all get salted, including watermelons and melons and strawberries and things like that that are really rich in potassium. The potassium can't get inside the cell if there isn't sodium, so that's why you've got to add sea salt to these foods. That's a tricky part of the process as well!

P - Phosphorus 12 and under needs to be addressed. I personally still recommend digestive enzymes when it’s at 14.
LOW phosphorus on a hair test means their body isn’t breaking down the protein sufficiently. Need some digestive support.
HIGH - Catabolism. Their body is breaking down muscle tissue to get enough protein. Pubic hair sample?
Iron burns phosphorous so it can be another sign of cu/ fe dysregulation . From my understanding leaky gut is more about low bioavailability of cu hence low lysal oxidaise enzyme. Low stomach acid can be low mins eg zinc & also mag remember energy is needed for the proton pump in the stomach to pump out the acid.
4 Metals: Copper-Iron-Zinc-Manganese - all should be kissing the red line. Rarely do. 4 Metals Ski Slope...pattern of mineral dysregulation, we expect to see copperiron dysregulation in the blood. IRON ISSUE!
Copper, iron and manganese, they typically do not express as well. (zinc expresses best in the blood). Due to the process of rendering the hair sample for analysis, only the plus2 valence if the metals can be read. The result is therefore incomplete and BLOOD testing is used to compensate for this issue. When copper starts to get too low or too high, it's iron that's causing that to happen.

Zinc HIGH: When there's a release of zinc in the hair, it's a sign of significant stress. FROM TEI: High Hair Zinc:* An elevated zinc level is commonly due to a loss of zinc from the body tissues. In these cases, zinc supplements will often be recommended.* Zinc levels may appear high to help compensate for copper toxicity. Thus high zinc can be a tipoff of a hidden copper toxicity.* Use of Head and Shoulders shampoo occasionally results in an elevated zinc reading.* Cadmium toxicity can cause a zinc reading to appear high.
High
Zinc LOW: Low Hair Zinc:* Zinc will often read low if the sodium/potassium ratio is less than 2.5:1. In this case, it is not always wise to give much zinc.* Zinc is commonly low in "fast" oxidizers.* Very low zinc levels are often associated with emotional instability and with problems of growth and development in children.

A deficiencyis known to increase the incidence of dental caries. This metal has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of dental problems caused by fluorosis and is considered to be mutually antagonistic to fluoride. DEFICIENCY can cause issues in otherwise unhealthy individuals. *can affect the synthesis of certain key enzymes - In the very rare inherited disorder (molybdenum cofactor deficiency) can cause feeding difficulties, seizures, brain abnormalities, and severe developmental delays in children. )

NA/K STRESS RATIO
Stress Ratio The ideal sodium/potassium (Na/K) ratio is 2.4/1. This can be described as the Stress ratio. The more that sodium exceeds potassium in a TMA, the more stress the individual experiences regardless of whether the person has an awareness of the intensity of their stress condition. The body “knows” that it is experiencing stress. The stress may be from internal sources — either psychological factors or from physical problems such as an infection or injury. Some drugs or medications may also stimulate the stress response and produce a high TMA Na/K ratio. The high Na/K ratio indicates that the person is in a chronic “fight” or “flight” response. Depending on the person’s personality structure, either intense anger or fear will be constantly felt. Sometimes, the person will fluctuate between intense fear and anger. However, when the Na/K ratio increases to 6/1 or higher, the person will become more intensely emotional. The anger will be felt and experienced more as rage and the fear will be felt and experienced more as acute anxiety or panic. In contrast, when the Na/K ratio is more nearly balanced at or around 2.4, the person will usually be more even tempered with much better emotional control. The Na/K Ratio and Psychological Functioning As the Na/K stress ratio increases, there is a strong tendency for the person to experience the inflation of the Judge part of their personality. The Judge is the part of everyone’s personality that has to do with judgmental criticisms and demands for perfection. The Judge is also involved in controlling and directing our feelings and attitudes about different aspects of our lives and our self- esteem. The Judge can be a constant inner psychological source of intense stress that is usually experienced without awareness by most people. But, the body still feels the adverse effects of stress even when the Judge operates psychologically outside of a person’s awareness. The prolonged effect of the Judge in maintaining a high level of stress quite often will drain and deplete the adrenal glands. This results in a clinically significant drop in the Na/K ratio. When the Na/K ratio drops substantially below the ideal ratio of 2.4, this condition is known as an “inversion” of the Na/K ratio. The low Na/K ratio is usually accompanied by a chronic tired, exhausted feeling. A person with this low Na/K ratio will tend to experience the “nodding off” syndrome. That is, the person will find it difficult to remain alert and to think clearly. Their mind will feel like it is in a fog and their eyelids will often feel heavy and very tired. In such a condition, the person will have to exert an enormous effort to stay awake and alert. This condition of an inversion of the Na/K ratio is associated with the Exhaustion stage of stress. If the Na/K inversion remains chronic, many different diseases and disorders may result. Kidney, liver, and heart problems are frequently associated with the Na/K inversion. Diabetes may also manifest. Psychological problems are common with this mineral imbalance. A frequent problem is being indecisive. When an important decision is put off or not faced, it becomes a tremendous drain on a person’s energy system and can lead to a chronic Na/K inversion. Once a decision is made, it seems to free up a substantial amount of blocked energy and the Na/K inversion can be corrected and re-balanced in a short period of time.
Na/K Sodium / Potassium SLOW - The sodium and potassium bars need to be at 20% below the red line at .8 When they are, there's 2.4 parts sodium to 1 part potassium. "FAST minerals", sodium amps up quickly and sends us into a sympathetic response very quickly, and potassium is really important for a multitude of reasons. When Na/K ratio is not in proper ratio, it's iron acting out. Iron has a profound effect on sodium rising and potassium falling. Imbalance of the ratio = 2nd sign of STRESS

Serum Copper Ideal 80-100 (108!) elevated in blood is unbound, unbioavailable -Blood and HTMA: HIGH/HIGH, elevated in blood is unbound / hair test copper looks strong, likely bio-unavailable, Suggests inflammationWhat we want to focus on is getting the copper to be bioavailable, NOT to be dumped out. Using zinc (or other methods) to force copper down and to end up with copper dumping symptoms is causing more metabolic stress on the body and not long-term helping to heal.Within the RCP, we work to support gentle changes in the body, so as not to copper dump. We encourage the body to improve recycling of minerals so that copper and iron become more bioavailable, which in turn, turns into increases in zinc. Iron and zinc share absorption pathways, so once unbound iron is bound and usable by the body, zinc is able to increase naturally.

Ceruloplasmin
Ferroxidase shuttles iron between blood and tissue Ceruloplasmin (Cp) - Considered the MASTER “Multi-Copper Protein.” Cp has an “active” & “inactive” state, or an “enzyme activity” & “immunoreactive protein” state. In its “active” state, Cp contains up to 8 Copper atoms surrounding a molecule of Oxygen (O2). But unfortunately, only the “inactive” state is measured by commercial labs using the Serum Ceruloplasmin blood test; there are no commercial labs that measure the “active” state. (See Ideal Lab Values here…) This protein was discovered in the early 1940s by Swedish Physiologists, Carl G.Holmberg & C.B. Laurell, and first described in their article published in 1947.
Serum Ceruloplasmin, Ideal 35-40 mg/dL Low ceruloplasmin production is likely because of a lack of copper and a lack of retinol, which is the backbone of the enzyme. Copper is supposed to be complexed inside the ceruloplasm protein. That's where it belongs in a normal, healthy, functioning human being. What has happened is our environment, in large part because ofour food system and our farming system, has created toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide in our body. We're not able to make catalase enzyme adequately, andso the hydrogen peroxide is tweaking the ceruloplasm, which is allowing thecopper to leak out and become dysregulated.

Ferritin
The Ferritin molecule is found inside the cell. (Oven temp when it’s in the cell) Ferritin protein isn’t synthesized in the blood (not made in the kitchen). When it shows up in the “kitchen” it’s not a sign of iron vitality, it’s a sign of liver pathology. Ideal ferritin in the human body: per Sir Douglas Kell - It should be ZERO> It’s not synthesized, it is secreted into the blood and it’s nothing to get happy about. Ferritin isn’t a valid marker to be worried about. It’s like worrying about having enough gas to get home but you are measuring the air pressure in your tires. IT has no relevance. FERRITIN is not an accurate marker for IRON STATUS. Ferritin - The protein that stores Iron in the tissues. There are TWO forms of Ferritin -- “Heavy chain” and “Light chain” -- but the standard blood tests do NOT distinguish this KEY feature, and therefore Serum Ferritin blood tests are invalid markers of Iron status. When Iron is NOT being loaded into Ferritin (for LACK of “bioavailable” Copper) it is being loaded into Hemosiderin, which is NEVER measured in standard blood tests. The Serum Ferritin test should NEVER be used alone to assess Iron status and homeostasis. (See Ideal Lab Values here…) Ferritin serves NO active physiological role in the body, and REQUIRES Ferroxidase enzyme function to load Iron into this protein.
Serum Ferritin -Ideal is 20-50 mg/mL (20 is an excellent target) The Ferritin molecule is found inside the cell. * “Low” Ferritin (below 20 mg/dL) shows in Iron-toxic people as a coping mechanism to excess IRON in the tissue(s).* Serum Ferritin is an important INFLAMMATORY DISEASE MARKER, as it is mainly a leakage produce from DAMAGED CELLS. * Ferritin IS NOT an indicator of available IRON.* Ferritin is an INTRACELLULAR Iron Storage protein that is expressing in the EXTRACELLULAR fluid, called the blood serum. It is a sign of Liver problems, It has NO RELEVANCE to intracellular ferritin! * Ferritin does NOT “regulate” iron absorption. Ferritin SYNTHESIS RESPONDS to the presence of IRON. Ferritin REGULATES NOTHING>and is NOT a measure of IRON STATUS.* LOW Ferritin, in combination with other markers like low or high ceruloplasm, and especially LOW MAGNESIUM, your ferritin # is indicative of iron storage in the TISSUE!* Ferritin in the serum is not a sign of Iron vitality - it is a sign of organ pathophysiology. * Ferritin inside the cell isn’t measured. When we measure serum ferritin we are measuring it when it’s outside of the cell, when there is LIVER PATHOLOGY .* Really low ferritin is suggestive that it is being turned into hemosiderin* When an organism has LOW/NO Bioavailable Copper, it is FORCED to store Iron in Hemosiderin (iron stored in tissues). The metabolic process to LOAD IRON IN FERRITIN REQUIRES FERROXIDASE enzyme function >>>BIOAVAILABLE COPPER ferritin is not made in the blood It's secreted in the blood there's nothing good that gets secreted in the blood that relates to iron.

IRON Low bioavailable copper causes an increase of iron storage in the liver, Unbound IRON lowers magnesiuim,Low ceruloplasm causes iron to be stored because it can't make iron bioavailable for us to use, Transferrin needs ceruloplasm in order to access iron in the cell, Transferrin transports iron, Transferrin depends on magnesium for its production, Ceruloplasm converts ferrous iron into ferric iron, torturous relationship between magnesium and iron in the body, low MAG RBC low zinc, suspect iron issue in the tissue, When iron is regulated then it's not creating oxidative stress, When iron is unregulated it is unbound, it is creating oxidative stress, leads to symptoms, medical intervention/medications (both will increase stress, MAG burn rate, mineral loss and metabolic dysfunction), Iron is pro-oxidant, The most dangerous feature of iron is that it is attracted to, and deposits in, damaged tissue., When iron is regulated then it's not creating oxidative stress!, Too much unbound copper is annoying, too much unbound iron will kill you
.
Oxidants cause the release of what's called catalytic iron. That's called ferrous iron. If ferrous instability in the body because of imbalance of copper and iron that will in fact attract pathogens, that will, in fact, attract toxins, I'm not ignoring that this is happening, but it's happening because of the crisscross not just of iron and magnesium, but also the imbalance between iron and bioavailable copper. The oxidants are going tocause a release of catalytic iron, which is only going to intensify the toxicity of iron
What we are looking for ultimately: Healthy MAG RBC, Healthy Ceruloplasmin, Unusable % to be going down, getting closer to 5%, Serum iron approaching either 100 for women and 120 for men, If you follow the Root Cause Protocol, the numbers will balance over time, the body will find it's center.
HIGH IRON in the BLOOD (what we consider the reliable source to evaluate) focus on adrenals, focus on magnesium, focus on cop,per (want to increase ferroxidase which brings copper to life, increased ferroxidase will help the iron that's stuck in the tissue to move into the bloodstream where it needs to be. ferroxidase enables proper circulation and recycling of iron (keeps the iron moving), iron is not supposed to be in storage, it is a mineral of motion.

Bioavailable Copper:
Iron needs a chaperone.. that is bioavailable copper. You can have all the iron you want in the digestive tract but it is the copper that will regulate.
Adrenals: adrenals love fat. They really love fat.They love vitamin C, whole food vitamin C because there's copper in there. They really dig minerals. They love minerals, especially sodium and magnesium. The other thing that adrenals really like are lots of Zs, vitamin Z, sleep. Sodium and Magnesium RUN the ADRENALS. Your vitamin C is stored in your adrenals. Can't absorb copper (fat soluble) unless you have fat in your diet. The adrenals love RETINOL. Retinol needs copper in order to have it's fullest expression in the body.
Introducing sodium, and not magnesium drives the adrenal ratio to the point where you're going to get more tired >> indication for Adrenal Cocktail. Adrenals are ruled by the ratio of sodium divided by magnesium.
Strong adrenals support the production of erythropoietin
Strategies to deal with weak adrenals.
1. Start ADRENAL COCKTAIL for 2-3 weeks
2. Mineral drops with a magnesium bias.
3. MAG baths or foot soaks, start with low concentration and gently build up.
Reduce Chronic Stress!
When we are under acute stress we lose magnesium. Under chronic stress: releases metallothionene - binds up copper as a part of the ‘self protect’ mode the body goes into.
STRESS as a ROADBLOCK to RCP - the most negative response you're going to get from the protocol is:
1. People who are stressed out who have weak adrenals may respond negatively
2. People who have histamine issues are going to respond negatively to the cod liver oil and/or the beef liver.
3. Negative reaction would be people who have MTHFR issues, genetic issues, may respond negatively to the B vitamins.
4. People might respond negatively to taurine if they have sulfate sensitivity.
Antibiotics the antibiotic that you apparently did, in fact, take, caused the mobilization of copper, that was supposed to be in yourliver, where it does its work as antioxidant enzymes--- most antibiotics now, mobilize and kill 40 percent of the enzymes in your liver
Cause the mobilization of copper from the liver (removing it)
loss of copper (which is needed to work as antioxidant enzymes) has downstream effects.
Antibiotics mobilize and kill up to 40 percent of the enzymes in your liver
loss of copper is devastating to the human body.
When COPPER leaves the LIVER, IRON replaces it.
Inflammation in a person:
magnesium deficient
iron toxic
Inflammation - So, the inflammatory process, that's the immune system turning on to fight something. Oxidative stress and that that is triggered by too much iron in the tissue. STRESS
leads to cancer
leads to heart disease
leads to alzheimer
leads to neurodegeneration
metabolic syndrome
Where does the Iron go when sequestering? How does it decide?
Tissue that is damaged is attractive to iron. It attracts iron with oxygen - but in stressed out cadet, its a problem as you can’t make energy. The iron sticks around and causes rust. There is also the emotional link to stress response: Which emotions link to each organ - there’s an energy dynamic. Frequency that’s associated with an emotion. ☛ If there’s emotional override of that organ, it’ll get overridden with the physiological changes - iron gets recruited. ☛ On switch: Cu Off switch: Excess unbound iron Lack of bioavailable copper: known response in mammalian body that they accumulate iron
LIVER liver has this incredibly important function of recycling the iron. And it's got to be filed with retinol and magnesium and bioavailable copper to do that
important function of recycling iron
must be filled with animal retinol A
must be filled with magnesiuim
must be filled with bioavailable copper
Retinol A retinol becomes what are called retinoic acids and the retinoic acids become what are called iron regulatory proteins., CLO introduces retinol - abt 400 IUs of natural vitamin D, and 5,000 units retinol, TO SUPPORT THE LIVER, TO SUPPORT ENZYMATIC FUNCTION, supports iron regulation, low retinol A leads to adrenal burnout, excess cortisol release, thyroid issues, regulates circadian rhythm, hypothalamus, brain function, cognitive function
Effects of Retinol A deficiency -excess cortisol is created which burns out adrenals and that affects thyroid (secondary impact on the thyroid), lower adrenal hormone production, Impacts circadian rhythm, hypothalamus is very much involved in circadian rhythm. Increased inflammation and oxidative stress, retinol is responsible for insulin release. Deficiency leads to excess glucose in the blood.
What happens when you donate blood:
When we donate blood, we stimulate something called Erythropoietin to be released into our body, which results in the body creating new blood cells, pulling iron out of storage and the body making it functional and creating hemaglobin and other cells to replace what was lost. The more we nourish with whole foods, including quality retinol, bioavailable copper, plenty of magnesium, electrolytes and trace minerals as well, it gives us a great opportunity to continually stimulate healing; building effective recycling systems within our metabolic system.
Women who are still experiencing menses - blood testing should be done around day 14-15 of the cycle.
With a typical monthly cycle, there's 4 to 6 mg of iron lost on a basis of about 4,000 mg of iron in a woman's body.

Summary of your top 3 concerns mentioned on the Questionnaire and how they are addressed with the RCP.
1 2. 3. .
RCP123 In Summary...
Bioavailable Copper converts toxic “Ferrous Iron” into beneficial “Ferric Iron.” Without enough Bioavailable Copper, unbound toxic “Ferrous Iron” runs around the body like a 4 year old with a hammer, causing Oxidative Stress / Inflammation / aka. “rust”. Therefore, the priority focus of The Root Cause Protocol is to increase Bioavailable Copper, which will minimize Oxidative Stress and therefore, minimize the Magnesium Burn Rate. Please follow the bouncing ball: o Iron is the MASTER Pro-Oxidant metal in the Human body... o In bodies LOW in Bioavailable Copper, there is an INCREASE in H2O2... o Excess, unbound Iron + H2O2 => Increased Oxidative Stress! o Please read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11549596 Our ENTIRE approach with the RCP is to FOCUS on addressing the AXLE of Metabolic Chaos -- CuFe Dysregulation -- and STOP TREATING THE $EAT$ of the Ferrous Wheel of metabolic dysfunctions... We see this process of healing VERY differently....
My goals for you over the next 3-6 months:
Reduce iron toxicity by donating, chelating, and removing unbioavailable iron from diet.
Support Adrenals with ADRENAL COCKTAIL
Introduce magnesium via food, transdermal, sublingual, and oral means
Focus on diet full of copper rich foods
Focus on diet full of potassium rich foods, we need 4700mg minimally daily.
Get animal Retinol A daily via organic milk, heavy cream, butter, beef liver
