Low Sodium/Potassium (Na/K) (Inversion) Ratio

A sodium/potassium inversion is the single most important imbalance on a hair tissue mineral analysis. This indicates a reduced vitality and impaired electrical balance within the cells. Sodium is an extracellular element while potassium belongs inside the cells. A decrease in the ratio indicates a loss of potassium into the interstitial spaces as cells are destroyed.

This low ration is often associated with adrenal exhaustion, infections and impaired sugar and carbohydrate tolerance. The body is unable to burn glucose properly to produce energy and begins to cannibalize body proteins. This is not only inefficient, but may contribute to many detrimental conditions. The pattern is also associated with liver and kidney stress, allergies and impaired digestion. Balancing this ratio is a major focus of your recommended dietary, supplement, lifestyle and detoxification program.
