Hair Test Results #3

I did my 3rd Hair Test Analysis this month and received the results this past week. Thought I would post them, so that I can remind myself in the future of where I was. For those interested, on my analysis below, the top number is my current reading. The bottom number is what my test results were 3 months ago.

It's been interesting to see where I am at. I have been feeling a bit better since December. I was surprised though to see the results. My already high calcium and magnesium levels were much higher. I found out though that this means that my tissue is starting to dump the excess magnesium and calcium. There are 4 layers of tissue and my body is starting to push out the stuff that was in the inner layer out. So this is good news. Causes me to be more tired, but I will take that if it's only for a little season. On another good note, my sodium levels have risen since last time. This means my adrenals are getting a bit stronger.

My copper levels are still low. I found out that copper will help move out calcium, so I am definitely using what I am giving to my body. My manganese levels are a bit higher, which means that I am starting to metabolize glucose. Yea! My digestion is slowly starting to work on it's own.

I still show signs of having a chronic bacterial infection, but it has improved since the last test.

I am also FINALLY starting to dump mercury. The past 2 tests showed that I had no toxic elements. I didn't feel this was right. It looks like my body wasn't strong enough to deal with toxic metals. Now it finally has the ability to address them. My consultant told me that my body will only move one toxic element at a time. Which I found interesting. I think those were the most significant changes I found with this retest. Been happy with the progress I have been having since starting at beginning of August. It's a slow process - but I am just happy to see progress!

 

  

12 Random Things You May or May Not Know About Me

I posted this on facebook awhile ago, but wanted to place it somewhere I knew I could find easier (I still can't figure facebook out at times). 

1. My dad informed me that if I wanted to learn how to drive, I needed to go with him Sunday mornings on the paper route he had. So every Sunday at 1am, I would wake up and go drive his paper route for him until about 7am. This was great experience. There was hardly anyone on the freeways and his route was in Apache Junction where there were mostly mobile home parks and a random golf cart.

2. My first car was a 1982 New Yorker. I got it when I was 17 years old. It was an automatic, but the transmission didn’t work well. I had to manually shift it when driving. It didn’t like to drive in “reverse,” and seemed to always stall when I made a left turn. That car taught me what to do when the brakes go out while driving, stalling in the middle of an intersection, how to park so you don’t need to go in reverse and how to change a flat tire.

3. My high school graduation was in the back of the school in the alley.

4. I went with several other students to Washington DC to talk to AZ Congressmen about financial aid for community colleges.

5. I have been in 2 commercials

6. When I was around 8 years old (I think), our family took an airplane trip to Tennessee. The flight attendant let me pass out the peanuts to the other passengers on that flight.

7. I am certified to be a Drum Circle facilitator.

8. For lunch my Senior year of high school, sometimes my friend and I would go to the grocery store, Bashas’ and split a loaf of French bread ($1), then take a handful of mustard packets from the deli counter to spread on the bread. If we had extra money we would order $.50 worth of mashed potatoes at the deli counter, and take several ketchup packets to mix in. At the time it tasted like fries with ketchup.

9. I like to make up different percussive rhythms on my steering wheel when my blinker is on in my car.

10. I like to watch foreign movies.  

11. I do this weird thing, where I try to see how I can "lessen" the amount of garbage I can take out each week. I think I've been living in California too long. 

12. I know all the words to the ABC song!

Since September I have been doing Hair Mineral Analysis to help get my health back on track. To do this, you are to cut about 1Tbsp worth of hair and send it into the lab about every 3-4months. The last analysis I did in November I had this idea that it would be good to get samples from all over my head. I had "thought" I had cut samples from the bottom layers. Now 8 weeks later, I am seeing that 'nope' I actually managed to cut the top layer right on top of my head and at the top back.

This isn't too bad though. I have something to laugh at for the next couple of weeks, or until it grows out a little more. I guess some of us still have that 3 year old inside of us just wanting to 'cut' our hair with the scissors mom hides in the bathroom.
