NUTRITIONAL ELEMENTS

Extensively studied, the nutrient elements have been well defined and are
considered essential for many biological functions in the human body. They

TOXIC ELEMENTS
LOW

The toxic elements or "heavy metals" are well-known for their interference
upon normal biochemical function. They are commonly found in the
environment and therefore are present to some degree, in all biological
Ca/P Na/K Ca/K Zn/Cu Na/Mg Ca/Mg Fe/Cu systems. However, these metals clearly pose a concern for toxicity when
accumulation occurs to excess.

calculate a ratio value, the first mineral level is divided by the second mineral
level.
EXAMPLE: A sodium (Na) test level of 24 mg% divided by a potassium (K)
84.0 4.4 22.0 0.8 500.0 200.0 28450 71126 5690 level of 10 mg% equals a Na/K ratio of 2.4 to 1.

SIGNIFICANT RATIOS
If the synergistic relationship (or ratio) between certain minerals in the body is
disturbed, studies show that normal biological functions and metabolic activity
can be adversely affected. Even at extremely low concentrations, the
synergistic and/or antagonistic relationships between minerals still exist,
Ca/Pb Fe/Pb Fe/Hg Se/Hg Zn/Cd Zn/Hg S/Hg S/Cd S/Pb which can indirectly affect metabolism.

TOXIC RATIOS
It is important to note that individuals with elevated toxic levels may not
always exhibit clinical symptoms associated with those particular toxic
ADDITIONAL RATIOS minerals. However, research has shown that toxic minerals can also produce
an antagonistic effect on various essential minerals eventually leading to
