In other words, a person with a very high calcium level can be just as bad off as if he had a very low calcium level. In both conditions, the body can not properly utilize calcium.

For example, the normal level of copper is 2.5. If your copper level is normal on the hair test, you may still be low or high in copper.

You might have major mineral imbalances or stress in your body which is causing the copper to “appear" normal. In a later hair test your copper may end up being off the chart at the high end. You have to be like a detective in reading a mineral chart.

If a person has a low manganese level on his chart, giving that person manganese will rarely raise his manganese level.

This means that if you have been a very slow oxidiser for ten or fifteen years, don’t expect to become a normal oxidiser overnight.

Stated another way, it is easier to walk downhill that it is to walk uphill.

In many cases, when one mineral level rises, a second mineral level will also rise, to stay in balance with the first mineral level.

For example, when the calcium levels rise in a person, the magnesium level will also rise. Because of this elevated magnesium level, the ratio between the calcium and magnesium will stay relatively constant.

This is why many levels will appear to get worse on a person’s chart when he goes on my program. Because of this, many people think that I don’t know what I am doing.

A person’s calcium or sodium levels ay even decrease below normal when he goes on my program. But if you look at his chart closely, another major mineral ratio probably vastly improved. This happens all the time.

Remember, mineral ratios generally improve first. When they are balanced, then the levels will come into balance.

For example, depending on a person’s biochemistry, a certain mineral may raise another mineral in the body. And, at different time, this same mineral may lower that other minera.
