Many
of the 392 questions of the nutritional analysis relate to the limbs
-- arms and legs, hands and feet. These are a few examples of the
imbalances that may be indicated. Note that having one or two symptoms
of an imbalance does not mean that you have an imbalance in that
area. Everyone has a few symptoms -- that is normal. What is important
is to determine whether you have more symptoms in any area than
is normal for you, in which case a deficiency is likely iindicated.
Each person has a different "normal" level of symptoms
-- a baseline --and this is calculated by analyzing your answers
to the whole questionnaire.
For
instance, if you have a lot of muscle cramps, it may indicate low
levels of certain minerals such as Magnesium
(28 other symptoms), etc. -- or it may indicate low levels of certain
B vitamins, such as Pantothenic
Acid
(14 other symptoms) -- which you should never take on its own, unless
a doctor prescribes it! If your muscles are stiff and sore in the
morning and need to be limbered up, it could be a sign of Thyroid
imbalance (55 other symptoms).
Do
you have pains in your hands and feet? It could be low Magnesium
(28 other symptoms). Excessive sweating of the hands and feet could
indicate Adrenal
imbalance (34 other symptoms). If your nails are unusually brittle
it could be as a result of low Iron
levels (12 other symptoms), or low Iodine
levels (13 other symptoms). Fluid retention could be caused by food
Allergies
(33 other symptoms) or excess Sodium
(salt), which has 6 other symptoms. "Restless leg syndrome"
(constant jerking of your legs when you lie down at night) could
be a symptom of a Magnesium
imbalance (which also has 28 other symptoms to consider).
Acne
could be related to low Essential
Fatty Acid
(17 other symptoms) levels or a Vitamin
A
deficiency (18 other symptoms). A sallow complexion sometimes indicates
a Thyroid
imbalance (55 other symptoms). Eczema or psoriasis could be related
to Allergies
(33 other symptoms) or Low
Digestive Enzymes
(18 other symptoms).
If
you are especially susceptible to athletic injuries you may need
more Magnesium
(28 other symptoms)
or it could be a sign of Thyroid
imbalance (55 other symptoms).
There
are many other questions in the analysis questionnaire
that explore your possible symptoms in detail. On this page are
just a few examples of the possible nutritional imbalances that
relate to symptoms that occur in the limbs. Remember that having
one or two symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have any
of the associated nutritional imbalances. Rather, it is first necessary
(via a complete analysis) to inventory all of your body's symptoms
in order to establish a baseline symptom level that is normal for
you -- because everyone has a different "normal" level
of symptoms. Once that is done, I take into account any additional
information that you might have sent me (via the comment boxes in
the questionnaire) and compare your level of symptoms occurring
in any particular area with your baseline to determine where deficiencies/imbalances
should be declared. I next prepare your chart,
analysis and recommendations. They reflect the relative seriousness
of your imbalances, and give you specific help correcting them --
via diet and/or supplements (if necessary).
As
well, your recommendations will contain detailed nutritional advice
should you require help to lose weight, quit smoking, fight depression,
etc.
