What kind of plane are you flying?

What kind of plane are you flying?

 

 

A metaphor to help read a hair analysis is that of flying an airplane.

Fast oxidation is similar to flying high and fast, problems with this are that the plane is not designed to fly that high or fast. A very fast oxidation rate is extremely hard on the plane. The airplane will not be the same due to the extreme stress this puts on it.

Slow oxidation is flying much slower and lower.

Unlike a real airplane, in the body a very fast oxidation rate actually uses up or burns up many vital minerals or parts of the body. When the correct materials are not present to repair the plane, repairs are made instead with inferior toxic material such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and aluminium. These replace the better materials such as magnesium, zinc, selenium, and others that make the aircraft move.

Mineral deficiencies and toxicity develop. This forces the plane to begin to slow down. Either it just can’t fly as fast, or the damage to it makes it very unstable.

Fast oxidation with a low sodium/potassium ratio, the plane begins to stall.

Slow oxidation. This is when the plane is flying too low and slower than the way it was designed to fly. It makes a person feel sluggish and often somewhat depressed. The plane is much less maneuverable; meaning that coping with stress is more difficult.

Hair calcium levels rises. A crude analogy is smearing cement on cracks and damaged areas of the aircraft. This protects the aircraft, but weighs it down. Causing it to fly lower.

Some develop a calcium shell. This is like smearing cement all over the plane, either to protect it from damage or to try to blend it together, or disappear and withdraw from society. These people are often seeking to “fly under the radar” or become somewhat invisible.

Sympathetic dominance. This is like revving the engines in a futile attempt to get back to flying high. However, the plane is too damaged physically or psychologically, so it does not work, no matter how hard one revs the engine.

Four highs is akin to speeding up the plane to some degree. However, it is purely temporary and often very unstable and unsafe for health. The plane in this situation is really in bad shape. Fortunately people in four highs usually slow down easily on a nutritional balancing program.

Four lows. This occurs when the rudder or a stabilizer is broken. The plane goes nowhere fast and becomes more and more damaged.

A hill pattern occasionally occurs. It is a feeling that one is soaring on top of the world.

The three amigos, along with copper, cadmium and a few other toxic metals. These are special because they appear to support the plane, like little rocket thruster to help keep a damaged plane flying. However, they are not part of the original design, so they do further damage the plane in the process of keeping it flying.

Double low ratio and double high ratio patterns. These are like having a biplane with two wings that are either in stall position (double low) or dive position (double high). In other words, these patterns reinforce the sodium/potassium imbalances.

A step down pattern or, high sodium/potassium ratios are “dive” positions. They can be successful attempts to pick up some speed.  These people have often dug their heels in and can continue in this way for some time.

A step up pattern is a dive upward, an extremely dangerous maneuver that always fails and must be turned around fast. It includes a low sodium/potassium ratio, which is the stalled wing pattern.

Spiritual defensiveness pattern. This is a very high calcium/magnesium ratio. The imbalance seriously weighs down the plane, keeping it from soaring. In this pattern, the person defends a situation, behavior or attitude when it is time to move on.

The phosphorus level, along with the sodium/potassium ratio, are a little like fuel indicators. When low, the plane is losing altitude due to lowered energy or vitality.

Elevated toxic metals. This is like an airplane that is overloaded with heavy weights. It is never a helpful situation and every effort should be made to “lighten up”. This can help the plane gain more altitude. Those flying high (fast oxidizers) who are loaded with toxic metals are often just throwing them off, which is like the pilot jettisoning extra weight to fly faster.

Any change can be traumatic. In time, each of us becomes used to his own speed of flight. Anything that changes the rate of climb or fall, or speed or altitude may feel odd and can cause some anxiety or fear. This often slows ones progress on this healing journey.

The goal is a safe and happy flight. A safe flight means to fly at an altitude that is comfortable and safe for the condition of your aircraft, neither too high and fast, or too low and slow. Ideally, your craft should be able to speed up when needed to avoid thunderstorms and other obstacles, or slow down, at times, to relax the crew. This condition of health and vitality is termed balanced and flexible oxidation.

The Magic Pill

Yep people want a magic pill for just about everything. 
  

They want a pill to help them lose weight, a pill to stop them feeling hungry, a pill to make the pain go away, a pill the help them sleep, a pill to help them stay awake, a pill to help them go to the toilet, a pill to stop them from going to the toilet.... Your getting it right? They want a bloody pill for everything...

Do they think about what may be the cause? Why do they need to lose weight? Why can't they sleep? Do they stop and  look at their diet? Their attitude to life, the amount of exercise they do, how often they laugh and have fun... No they just want a bloody pill...

Well I've got news for you people, there are no magic pills... You are the magic pill! You have the magic within you to change everything. You can get fat, get thin, get sleep, get no sleep, get up and feel great instead of getting up and feeling crap. You are the magic pill and you can change your life any way you choose. You can... You can do it.... :)

Yep life is crap sometimes and it is hard. I know, I've been there, done that... But I'm here now and life is getting better.

• Make small changes: You wont be able to change everything at once.   

• Start with your diet, get help if you need to. Step back and take a good look at what you are eating. How much crap do you eat? How many glasses of wine have you had this week? Look at the amount of starchy carbohydrates, the amount of protein and fat. Switch to more complex carbohydrates like brown basmati rice, brown pasta, brown bread... Think Brown :) Think Wholegrain.. :) Think smaller portions and more protein and vegetables. :) Less fruit, remember fruit has sugar... And remember not all fat is bad... We need the good fats... Essential fats from oils, fish, nuts and seeds.When you clean up your diet you will find that the whole digestive process improves and bowl movements will normalize. Some of you may have food sensitivities in that case an allergy test is a good idea.

• Exercise, don't tell me you don't have time, like I said, been there, done that. We all have time to exercise. Walk rather than take the car, take the stairs, go for a 15 min walk on you lunch break. It all adds up... Get a skipping rope do 10 min of skipping... Get a hola hoop, remember those, great for your midriff.. :) You get the picture just move more.... And if you didn't move today, move on, and move tomorrow, no point in wallowing in self pity and eating the chocolate cause you feel sorry for yourself...

• Sleep. A restful sleep is so important to how we feel. Once you get the diet and exercise sorted you will find restful sleep comes more easily. If you are finding hard to nod off try some Lavender oil on your pillow.

• Smile! its been proven, it makes you happier... 

 So I guess what I'm trying to say here there is no magic pill...  Just you....

The Road

 So guys once you found the right road, that's it you've found it. You can stray away from it take a few short cuts but you can't get lost, you can always find your way back to the right road. :)  Remember that!

I'm no saint and I ain't perfect, I take short cuts and I wonder off every now and then, but I always find my way back. And some day I guess, I just will get fed up of wondering off and I will stay put.... Maybe... :)

That's what I like about hair mineral analysis, it gives you a starting point and it can help keep you on track.

So I started my supplement and diet program. The slow oxidiser diet is simple enough to follow. It involves eating lots of vegetables and eating protein with every meal. You limit the amount of fruit you eat and hold back on wheat. You can have one or two tablespoons daily of  fatty or oily food. For example, two eggs, a few tablespoons of almond butter, or a portion of lamb or other fatty meat. Yes you can have fat, fat is good for you. Not all fat is bad! Our bodies need fat to insulate the cells and to help regulate the metabolism. Good fats are unprocessed foods, like, unsalted nuts, coconut oil, butter, eggs, avocados, and some meats. You get to eat small amounts of complex carbohydrates such as starchy vegetables, whole grains such as brown basmati rice, quinoa, millet, and lentils and beans. You see, I said it was simple and it is...

I take supplements to help re balance my calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. And I tell you I feel great. I take B5, Zinc and L Cysteine to help my poor fatigued adrenal glands and the Zinc is great to help stabilise my blood sugar too. Zinc I think is one of the most important minerals to take today. I take a multi vitamin to help speed up my oxidation rate. I take a selenium which is great to help rid the body of unwanted heavy metals. I take kelp every day to help my thyroid and as kelp is an excellent source of iodine and many other minerals including calcium it is one of the most important supplements for me.Kelp is another important mineral today. I also take a product from Endo Met Labs called GB-3 this is a digestive aid that contains black radish, pancreatin and ox bile. It is one of the best digestive aids I have ever taken. I take - also from Endo - Met Endo _ Dren which is an adrenal support supplement that contains bovine adrenal glandular.


So that's basically it as far as the diet and supplements go, like I said, sometimes I wonder off the road... :)

One of the best things that happens when you stick to your diet and supplement program is that all the sweet stuff you used to like, tastes too sweet. No sh...t ,this is true, one person told my that even eating McDonald's now tasted like smelly feet... She was thrilled McDonald's tasted like smelly feet and the sweet stuff she said just tasted ridiculously  sweet! So eating less sweet stuff is easy you wont like it....  And she was just taking 22mg of Zinc Picolinate, 3 times a day.

 I guess that is my story told, well some of it anyway. I will come back to my hair mineral analysis and tell you about the toxic metals that showed up in my test, but later...

RenewU is a blog I started to tell you how hair mineral analysis changed my life. And guys if you want to know more about it get in touch with me...

I guess I have lots of stories to tell and what better place to tell them... Hey I hope someone is reading them and getting something from them.

I had a women in the shop one day, she asked me did we have anything to help her hair, it was falling out. She said "I'm 89 but I don't like the idea of my hair falling out" and she proceeded to take of her hat and low and behold little strands of white hair were falling.  Bless... I told her about a lovely product made by A Vogel called Hair Complex, it contains millet and nettle, she said she would call back next week when she had some money. She called in a few weeks later to tell me her hair was not falling out after all the hair dresser pointed out to her that her very expensive and new mohair hat was shedding a few hairs and not her at all.

Good luck with finding the right road....

Take care....
