Hair Analysis-Mercury testing

LOW CHROMIUM	Chromium is essential for the activation of phosphoglucosonetase and other enzymes. It is closely associated with GTF (glucose tolerance factor ? a combination of chromium III, dinicotonic acid and glutathione). Concentrations of chromium are higher in newborns than those of adults. Concentrations of chromium in human hair are ten times greater than those of blood making hair analysis a more accurate gauge of levels and stores. There is less hardening of the arteries in people of Asian countries, who it is estimated have five times higher chromium tissue levels than Americans. People of Near Eastern countries who have about four times the average U.S. levels and African people who have twice our chromium levels seem to experience less diabetes than Americans. These higher tissue levels of chromium are due primarily to better soil supplies and a less refined diet. Chromium may be only one of the factors accounting for the differences in rates of diabetes and atherosclerosis between cultures.

	The steady decline of serum chromium levels has declined steadily commensurate with the increased consumption of sugar in America.

	Mean Chromium blood levels (u/l) Year 28-1000 …………………………………………………… 1948 13 ………………………………………………………… 1971 10 ………………………………………………………… 1972 4.7 - 5.1 ………………………………………………… 1973 0.73 - 1.6 ………………………………………………… 1974 0.16 ……………………………………………………… 1978 0.43 ……………………………………………………… 1980 0.13 ……………………………………………………… 1985

	Lowered sugar consumption may help correct low Chromium, Vanadium, and Cobalt levels associated with blood sugar imbalances, Candida, and anemia (“weakness”) from low B-12/cobalt levels (mild low). Wallach states that “since 1958, it has been known that supplemental chromium will prevent and treat diabetes as well as hypoglycemia.” “The facts associated with chromium were published in the Federation Proceeding by Walter Mertz (the director of the U.S.D.A. field services).” “Additionally the University of Vancouver, BC, Canada stated that “Vanadium will replace insulin for adult onset diabetics”!!” Chromium levels decrease with age starting in our early forties. At more advanced ages, with supplementation chromium levels may take a couple of years to re-establish. Excessive iron has been found to antagonize chromium needed for insulin transport. Iron, in excess, also by causing a zinc deficiency, results in diabetes. Zinc is needed for insulin production. Iron buildup in the pancreas results in pancreatic damage.

	Deficiency disease and symptoms associated with low Chromium levels include the following; low blood sugar, Prediabetes, Diabetes (ulcers and gangrene), weight gain, pica (cravings for sugar, alcohol, white bread or simple carbohydrates, junk food). *Cravings for junk foods at this juncture in time may eventually lead to silicosis or silicon poisoning (the symptoms might resemble Lupus) now that the FDA has passed “silicon crunch” for use, beginning October of 2007, in snack foods as it bonds well to artificial flavors and sweeteners and is made from ground up re-cycled glass). This may explain why several FDA scientists resigned in protest. Wheat gluten enteropathy (Celiacs disease/regards food allergies) Hyperinsulinemia, Obesity, Candida (regards allergies),Hyperactivity, ADD, ADHD, Manic Depression, “Bi-polar” disease, “Dr. Jykell / Mr. Hyde” rages, Impaired growth, Peripheral neuropathy, Negative nitrogen balance (protein loss), Elevated blood triglycerides, Elevated blood cholesterol, Coronary blood vessel disease, Aortic cholesterol plaque, Infertility and decreased sperm count (na), Shortened life span.

Recommendations：	”Basic Minerals” “Mineral 650”, “ChromeMate - GTF 600”, “Ultra B-complex”

		Avoid processed (“simple”) carbohydrates (i.e. sugar, honey, white or “wheat” breads, pasta, alcohol, mashed potatoes, etc.). Otherwise we will loose 300% more chromium in our urine than when we consume complex carbohydrates.
