When a mineral is low, especially an electrolyte, it is a quantitative deficiency. in other words, high minerals = bio-unavailable, low minerals = cellular deficiency. When it comes to toxic metals, low levels does not mean low levels in the body, but rather, often the inability to mobilize a metal through the tissues.
Tissue level minerals do not reflect intracellular oxidation. Its an impossibility no matter what the lab says. Watson and Wiley pioneered "oxidative metabolism" and didn't use HTMA minerals, they used venous blood plasma pH. In any event, HTMA is a very valuable biopsy but not for the reasons that the lab sites necessarily. Many things on HTMA reflect functionality as opposed to specific mineral levels. When a mineral is high there is quantitative excess but qualitative deficiency.
An elevated Ca/Mg HTMA ratio is indicative of pancreatic distress. A low Na/K ratio is more often associated with high adrenal output, adrenal hyperfunction. Sodium levels are controlled by the mineralcorticoid hormone aldosterone. Potassium is controlled by cortisol. 5 years & experience interpreting hundreds of HTMA's has taught me there is no way to know what one's diet should be through this test. The "oxidation rate" on HTMA is inaccurate because tissue level minerals.
Interesting. I recently did a hair analysis test. I got back the results, and the hair analysis is pretty accurate. I am in the 'exhaustion phase' now. My calcium/Magnesium levels are high even though I rarely consume calcium, but my sodium/potassium are low along with the other minerals copper etc. My analysis states that my liver/kidney adrenals are stressed. My results tell me to take mineral supplements and eat protein, but raw foodist say it won't regenerate tissue. Very confused.

I find I have fatigue,impatience and low tolerance for alot of things...I think those are signs of adrenal

I also have thyroid affect from the adrenal exhaustion. So, I'm in the hypo state, but yet I have swinging hypertension.
