Surges, explosions and crashes are the most drastic changes that occur on hair mineral analysis retests. In this way, they are all similar. Also, they all often indicate fast progress on a nutritional balancing program and this is a very helpful indicator, at times. However, each one is somewhat different.
SURGES
A surge occurs when one mineral level,
ratio or pattern increases significantly on a retest. I have not quantified surges, but in general, the level or
ratio must increase at least three or four-fold on a retest.
Examples. (from the most common to the
rarest)
1. A potassium surge. This is a steep rise in the potassium
level on a retest. It is usually
an elimination of toxic potassium, which is considered very positive.
2. A magnesium surge. This is a steep rise in the magnesium
level on a retest. This is usually
due to the return of one or more of the controller
souls, and is excellent.
3. An Na/K surge. This is a steep rise in the sodium/potassium
ratio. This is also usually a
forward flip of this ratio, although not necessarily. It is an excellent pattern.
4. An oxidation rate surge. This is a drastic increase in the
oxidation rate on a retest. It may
be a backward flip of the oxidation rate if it occurs in an adult or a child
over the age of 10. However, it
may not involve a flip, which is a change from slow to fast oxidation. It can be due to a toxic metal
elimination, or to a new stressor, or to other changes in the body. It may or may not be a positive change.
5. A sodium surge. This is often due to an elimination of boron, or perhaps another toxic metal. Boron and other toxic metals do slight damage to the kidneys as they pass out of the body through the kidneys. This is one cause for this surge. It is usually a positive indicator, however, because removing toxic metals is excellent.
6. A calcium surge. This is a drastic increase in the calcium level on a retest mineral analysis. It is not as common. It may indicate the elimination of toxic or so-called metastatic calcium from the body through the hair and skin.
It may also indicate a retracing process, usually after one has retraced a four lows or fast oxidation pattern that changes to a slow oxidation pattern.
It may indicate a need
for protection or buffering, which more calcium provides. All of these are usually positive.
7. Surges can also occur in the trace
mineral levels. These are
usually eliminations of toxic or amigo forms of these minerals. Most if the time, they are very
positive.
8. Surges can occur in the
calcium/magnesium ratio, sodium/magnesium ratio, and/or calcium/potassium
ratio. These are usually
associated with changes in the oxidation rate, as explained above. However, a steep rise in the
calcium/potassium ratio is associated with a collapse of the oxidation
rate. This is discussed below.
9. Other. Other levels and ratios may also increase drastically on a retest, such as toxic metal levels. These are usually eliminations, and are a very good sign.
EXPLOSIONS
Explosions are more extreme versions of surges.
COLLAPSES
Collapses or crashes occur when a level, ratio or pattern decreases drastically on a retest hair mineral analysis. I have not quantified these patterns, but the level or ratio must decrease at least three or four-fold.
Another type of collapse is when two, three or four of the major macrominerals decrease sharply on a retest. There are many possibilities for collapses or crashes. Most are considered excellent changes on a retest hair analysis.
CAUTIONS WITH SURGES,
EXPLOSIONS AND COLLAPSES
1. Feeling out of control. All three of these patterns can
reflect so much change in the body that a person can easily feel out of
control. Some react to this by
trying to control everyone or everything around oneself. This never works, and can cause serious
strife. The only answer is usually
to relax, and know that the feeling will pass after a while.
2. Unusual behavior changes. These patterns all reflect rather
drastic changes in body chemistry.
At times, these changes can cause behavior changes such as great
excitement, irritability, or emotional instability. Rarely, this causes problems for a person.
3. A possible need for a new program. It is very important that if one thinks one has gone through a surge, explosion or collapse, that you have your practitioner check with me as to whether a new program is needed. Often it is needed. Remaining on an incorrect program can make a person feel much worse, and it may stop progress on the program.
WHY DO THESE PATTERNS
MATTER?
1. We seek rapid change in order to have a person develop quickly. Development is a long process. If a person is moving slowly, not much development can occur because oneÕs life will be over before there is time for it. Surges, explosions, and collapses tend to indicate fast progress, so we need to look for them and find out why certain people are moving faster than others.
2. The presence of a surge, explosion or collapse also usually tells the practitioner that this person is following their program. This is helpful, in some cases.
It is the opposite the little change pattern, in which there are few changes on a retest mineral analysis. This pattern usually tells the practitioner that the client is not following the program diligently, or the client is under stress that is slowing progress.
