Re: My 1st retest with TEI
Halam - Your results are similar to my recent ARL hair analysis though I'm doing TEI (TEI Supplements). I got a hair analysis via ARL because I had some credit left over with them. My recent advise from TEI unlike ARL is that the increase in potassium (and apparently this is where ARL and TEI differ - actually where Dr Watts and Dr Eck parted ways) is that an increase in potassium on HTMA is actually loss from copper dumping ( one should have massive increase on copper levels in HTMA to show this) and not as Dr Eck/ARL believe that potassium is increasing. TEI explained that Potassium is secreted when copper increases. So I've been advised by TEI to continue taking potassium (as I had stopped taking it due to "increase" in potassium levels on my ARL hair test). ARL's advise was to add copper into new regime to combat the potassium issue, whereas TEIs advise was to not add any copper as it would further increase potassium loss. Interesting.
Interesting also is the similiarity in the overall HTMA chemistry patterns and levels in both yours and my HTMA.I am where you were in your first hair analysis. However, in your second hair analysis your ratios are more severe than my current HTMA and your copper levels have stabalised, which might explain why you are now fast oxidiser and I'm now a slow to moderate slow ( I was slow oxidiser before starting TEI). However, ARL have stated I am now a fast oxidiser (Due to their view that my HMTA shows potassium level increased).
Like you I've been suffering like hell due to continuing to dump large amounts of copper. I hope to see my copper levels leveling out at some stage soon and like you finally being able to feel better (ie see physical results from the agony of copper/heavy metals dumping) - so jealous I'm hanging to feel "that energy" you currently now experience after finally dumping so much copper. Lookig at your first hair analysis, the high copper and potassium, from a TEI point of view would signal you were in the midst of dumping copper. You're doing great...what did your practitioner advise for tackling the fast oxidisation?
