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 Acids (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.
