Patient #1 Hair Analysis Report

By: Dr. Farzin Farid Pharm.D, CNS

General Rules about Hair Mineral Analysis:

1. You cannot change one mineral without affecting all others

2. A low value does not necessarily mean you need more of that mineral

3. A low value does not preclude the existence of hidden excess in the body

4. A high value does not necessarily mean you need less of that mineral

5. A high value does not necessarily mean you have enough of that mineral

Sodium/Potassium Ratio (Na/K)

This is the single most important ratio on the Hair Mineral Analysis. Sodium is a mineral that exists outside of your cells (extracellular) and potassium is a mineral that exists inside your cells (intracellular). The optimal electrical balance within all cells is maintained by normal values of these minerals. The ideal ratio is 2.5-6.

Your current ratio is 2.09. This is a mildly low ratio. Possible implications include:

• Fatigue

• Glucose intolerance

• Liver, kidney, and cardiovascular stress

Sodium/Magnesium Ratio (Na/Mg)

This is specifically indicative of your adrenal activity on a cellular level. The ideal ratio is 4.17. The lower the ratio, the weaker the adrenals.

Your current ratio is 3.83. This is a mildly low ratio. Possible implications include:

• Fatigue

• Low blood sugar

• Low blood pressure

• Low body temerature

• Sweet cravings

• Salt cravings

Calcium/Potassium Ratio (Ca/K)

This is specifically indicative of your thyroid activity on a cellular level. The ideal ratio is 4. The higher the ratio, the weaker the thyroid.

Your current ratio is 6.18. This is a mildly elevated ratio. Possible implications include:

• Fatigue

• Low blood sugar

• Cravings for sweets

• Depression

Oxidation Type

This refers to the body’s ability to metabolize or “burn” foods efficiently to energy. This is derived in relation to ones Na/Mg and Ca/K ratios.

Based on your current Hair Analysis Report, you are a mild Slow Oxidizer.

Calcium/Magnesium Ratio (Ca/Mg)

This is your sugar sensitivity ratio. The ideal ratio is 6.67. A ratio between 9.5-13.5 indicates that one’s intake is exceeding their body’s carbohydrate limit.

Your current ratio is 11.33. This means it is helpful to cut down on your carbohydrate intake.

Toxic Metals

These refer to the values of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, and Aluminum in your body. Elevated levels may interfere with the body’s hormones, energy production, and structure. Low levels do not preclude the existence of hidden toxicity. The body must be able to detoxify these toxic metals correctly.

Your current Mercury level of 0.083 is too high. It should ideally be between 0.015-0.03.

Your current Arsenic level of 0.014 is a bit high. It should ideally be between 0.004-0.01.

Impaired Elimination

Often within a certain range if toxic metals, copper, iron, manganese, or nickel, are too low, it indicates impaired elimination of those minerals. Causes can include slow oxidation, Na/K ratio ................
