It is important to know your most important mineral deficiencies in order to make your entire nutritional and health program work.
“Mineral balancing” is a popular idea but is often done without a precise method to determine what a person needs, or not knowing where to start with the right questions.
I test energetically using a pendulum long distance or muscle testing in person.
Electrolytes
First order of priority is often a few of the key electrolytes sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which all depend on each other to be utilized properly. But it doesn’t always work to just take a supplement with all of them. Those ratios and amounts might not be correct for you. You might also need a lot more than you think.
Magnesium is widely regarded as the most common mineral deficiency and the one supplement that many people can feel working.
I also test for sodium and potassium needs right away, and determine if one of these is priority. Sodium and potassium determine what can get in and out of the cells: nutrients in, waste out, so that all of your nutrition and detoxification depends on these minerals first.
Weakest Link First: example of Potassium
In person testing can reveal just how much your diet and supplements depend on minerals.
I was working with someone in person whose primary deficiency is potassium and when she was low in that she would feel weaker testing for almost everything. She could feel it during muscle testing when her arm went weaker. A major sign of potassium deficiency is swelling or edema, especially after taking extra salt. For others is cardiac symptoms like racing heart.
So she would test weak for almost all foods or supplements until I she tested strong for needing a potassium. She would test strong for holding potassium foods or sources. After taking potassium on the spot she would then test stronger for the other things she needed. This is because then cells had what they needed to get nutrients in. The she could take salt cautiously, which works with potassium. Then magnesium and sulfur tested strong. Whenever her energy crashed, she had to remember to take potassium first.
All Minerals and Nutrients Depend on Each Other as a System
Sometimes she needed to take magnesium or sulfur first before the other. I found this could be true for myself, too, at times. I have never heard of the sulfur, magnesium ratio being important, which is a sign that there still is much not understood about “mineral balancing” despite a popular nutritional approach by that name.
I have found that potassium is best from food sources and that supplements don’t usually test well. It is usually easy to get enough potassium from fruit and vegetables. Lemons and oranges are favorites as general tonics. However, if someone tests negative for these, it can be a citrus sensitivity, which can be a sign for B vitamin deficiency. So then I test which B vitamin sources are strengthening. Getting B vitamins up can be very energizing and stress reducing. B’s are whole group of vitamins that can be covered together in whole foods. Extra B12 is sometimes helpful.
Rather than just avoiding things to which you are intolerant, which is as far as many nutritionists go, if you know the cause of the intolerance you can identify other nutritional weaknesses. All the parts of nutrition are linked this way. This is why you must implement your whole nutritional program: if you leave one thing out your whole system can fall apart.
Specify and Quantify: example of Salt
It is important to both get the right sources and quantify how much to take with energetic testing, like with sodium and salt, for example. Refined pure white salt that is responsible for most of the bad reactions. It should be gray or maybe pink will do.
I hear people saying, “I take good salt” as if they have it covered when they have not tested for how much. I have people taking extra spoon measurements throughout the day. Some people do a “salt flush” with extra spoons of salt and say they feel so much better. Some of these amounts are what I have people taking daily continuously. I have also noticed that salt can help compensate for other mineral deficiencies. When all mineral deficiencies are addressed the need for salt can decrease.
Test for most Urgent Deficiency and Root Cause
Minerals are not always the priority. I also ask where is the greatest deficiency or most urgent weak link: minerals, vitamins, protein, fat, carbohydrate levels, probiotics.
Your system is only as strong as is weakest link.
When your body has all the nutrients it needs it can energize and health itself.
There are actually 5 root causes that should be tested for priority of attention;
nutrition, toxicity, infection, stress, or physical alignment of bones and muscles.
