IV. QUALITIES THAT ARE SHARED BY BOTH STEP UP AND STEP DOWN PATTERNS
____________________________
Step up pattern
on a hair tissue mineral biopsy is an EXTREMELY important indicator and a
critical medical breakthrough. We will make a
bold statement that every adult needs hair testing just to identify step up
pattern.
Our intent is not to
self-promote. The reason for
identifying step up pattern is it is the only way we know of to prevent many
fatal heart attacks and strokes that are the leading cause of death in most
nations today.
With
due respect for the medical, holistic and natural health care professions and acknowledging
their many good qualities, they do a horrendous job of preventing most heart
attacks and strokes.
In addition, step up pattern is
critical for regenerating the soils of the earth. For details, read Soil Regeneration With
Development Science.
In summary, step up and step down patterns on hair mineral
biopsies are among the most interesting metabolic and also psychological
patterns.
This
pattern is not seen too often, mainly because the people with this pattern do
not usually live long enough for us to correct it. Another name for the pattern is stepping out of life.
DEFINITON
The step up pattern on a hair
mineral test is a combination of:
1.
A fast oxidation rate
2.
A double low ratio pattern
(Ca/Mg ratio less than about 4, and the Na/K ratio less than 2.5)
3.
A visual pattern in which the first four macrominerals
must appear like steps moving upward to the right. Hence the name step up pattern.
4.
Four lows is not present.
(If it is, the pattern has a different meaning that is explained below under
the heading Step
Up With Four Lows Pattern).
5. The pattern can
be present on the second four minerals.
MOST IMPORTANT FOR
BOTH STEP UP AND STEP DOWN PATTERNS: The hair MUST not been washed at the laboratory and testing
needs to be accurate, as with any biological test. Most hair testing laboratories wash the hair before testing
and most of their testing is therefore inaccurate. This includes some labs that claim they do not wash the
hair.
THE MEANING OF STEP UP PATTERN ON AN INITIAL MINERAL ANALYSIS
Components of the pattern.
- A fast oxidation pattern is
associated with acute stress, inflammation and irritability.
- A low sodium/potassium ratio
is associated with frustration, resentment, hostility, cardiac stress, blood
sugar stress, malignancy, kidney stress and liver stress.
- A low calcium/magnesium ratio
reinforces the low sodium/potassium ratio tendencies.
Usually
a fast death pattern.
We call step up pattern a fast death pattern. It is associated with a
tendency for a heart attack, in particular, or perhaps a vascular accident such
as a stroke.
It is also associated with
arteriosclerosis, angina, cardiac arrythmias, and
perhaps malignancy and diabetes.
It
is an acute and
chronic stress pattern and an inflammatory pattern. Psychologically, it is a running away pattern.
It is fast and reckless, the opposite of step
down pattern, which is slow but sure.
Fortunately, a development
program, especially if applied quickly, can easily turn the pattern around in
most cases.
Step
up pattern with four lows pattern. Step up with
four lows pattern is different and actually a good pattern. It seems to
indicate that a person is trying very hard to stay in this life. The person may be Òrunning away from
the tunnel of death, as best he or she canÓ.
Psychological meaning of step up
pattern. A person with this pattern is moving in
a dangerous direction and unable or usually unwilling to change direction and
to make important life changes. He
is determined, in other words, to proceed as he is going. He is also putting himself under tremendous stress,
and burning out (low Na/K ratio doubled or reinforced by a low Ca/Mg ratio),
and so he is in trouble.
It can indicate a futile attempt
to stay in an egotistical pattern of pushing oneself hard or striving hard and
Òpushing through lifeÓ (a fast oxidation rate), when this attitude or response
to life, or to a particular situation, just is not working.
It is an intense striving
pattern that is not producing results because it is not the appropriate
response for the person at this time.
Metaphorically, one might say it is a Ôhardening of the heartÕ that is
very dangerous. There is a need
for love, perhaps more self-love, and surrender.
The pattern may be due mainly to
biochemical imbalances, especially a need for copper. In other cases, psychological factors play a greater
role. (Copper softens a person and
is a more feminine mineral.)
It may also be called a stuck in fast
oxidation pattern. Visually,
the pattern appears like a person running headlong into a wall, represented by
the elevated potassium level on the right of the four macrominerals
on the graph.
A type of deep conflict pattern. A conflict pattern means that a clash is occurring between
two powerful, but opposing forces.
In this case, one of the forces at work on the person is a fast
oxidation rate. This is a more
aggressive, pushing forward, hard-driving, and more ÔmaleÕ approach to life.
However, this tendency is in
conflict with or opposed by a double low ratio pattern. The latter is a severe weakness,
depleted-of-energy, reversed pattern.
The person is pushing ahead on
one hand, but the gearshift is in reverse, in a way, so it is not working at
all! Perhaps it is more like
having one foot on the gas pedal of the car, and the other on the brake
pedal. This is very wearing on the
engine.
The person is trying to push
ahead at full speed, but the direction is blocked, like having the brake on or the
car is pushing against a solid wall or rock. As a result, the body is becoming very weak and depleted.
Often a fatal stalled transition
pattern. A person with step up pattern needs to
slow down and transition from fast to slow oxidation, and in this sense to
follow a different path. If this
does not occur quickly, often one will die.
What blocks this transition is
often a need for a lot of copper, although emotional factors could also be in
play.
Who
has the pattern? The step up pattern is most often seen
in:
1. More often in men, so far,
though certainly not always.
2. Perhaps a less emotionally
mature person, but we are not sure about this.
3. A person who needs to be more
ÒspiritualÓ in some fashion and may not know how to do it, so he is just doing
things as best he can, but not well enough.
4. One who is ready to die, in a
way, rather than change. We sometimes call this tendency the ÒIÕd rather dieÓ
pattern. One is so stuck in the
ego in some way that the body is sacrificed, usually with a heart attack,
stroke, cardiomyopathy or other cardiovascular
accident or catastrophe.
5. A person who is under some
type of stress that he cannot cope with properly.
6. The person may be angry. This is associated with iron toxicity
and step up is usually an iron personality type to some degree, at least. The person is usually very smart,
somewhat bitter and cynical, and rather rigid underneath, even if this is not
apparent.
7. The pattern can occur in a
child, usually but not always a male child. Here it is less of a death pattern. The child is usually able to change the
pattern into slow oxidation, which is a new direction in life, and a new way of
coping with life. This, by the
way, is the solution to this pattern.
Outcomes of step up patterns. Only two outcomes occur with this pattern. One is a usually fatal catastrophic
event such as a heart attack or stroke.
The other outcome may be called
a change of
heart. When this occurs, a
person gives up their dreams, or perhaps their ego stubbornness, and changes
direction. Often, in these cases,
the person moves into a four lows pattern, which is a special type of hiding or
giving up pattern.
We know this because when one
retraces and heals with a development program, some with a four lows pattern
temporarily move into a step up pattern when they leave four lows. The step up pattern usually is mild and
does not last long, and the person continues to retrace and move into other
patterns.
CORRECTION, AND THE RELATION OF COPPER AND IRON TO THIS PATTERN
Needless to say, a step up
pattern is one of the most important patterns to correct as quickly as
possible. Copper supplementation
is critical.
Dr. Paul Eck found that copper
supplementation is needed for just a few situations on a hair mineral
analysis. These include 1) fast
oxidation, 2) a low sodium/potassium ratio and, 3) even more so if the low
sodium/potassium ratio is accompanied by a low calcium/magnesium ratio. A step up pattern includes all of these situations!
I would say that step-up pattern
is associated with biounavailable copper in the
body. (A low Na/K ratio is an
indicator for biounavailable copper). it may also be
associated with Òamigo copperÓ.
This is an oxide form of copper that is very irritating to the tissues,
and can do oxidant damage.
Whatever
is the truth about the copper situation, we find that giving bioavailable copper to the person is the key to turning
around this hair analysis pattern. An adult with
this pattern may need up to 10 or 12 mg of copper daily to alter the pattern.
We usually give the copper in
two products, Limcomin and SBF from Endomet Labs.
These are combination products that are designed for the imbalances that
occur with the step-up pattern, so they work very well in these cases.
Copper is what is called a female mineral,
meaning that it often gives a quality of softness and gentleness to a person,
and it is needed more for women, in some ways. It appears that the step up pattern is a certain type of
rigidity and ÒmaleÓ approach that is hard-driving, stubborn
and does not give up easily. When
the pattern is present, this approach to life is causing extreme and dangerous
stress on the body.
Giving a lot of copper, along
with the other nutrients required for this pattern, seems to help ÒsoftenÓ the pattern
and eventually reverse it. This is
an interesting corrective concept that works beautifully, in my
experience. The copper may
actually ÒsoftenÓ or feminize the person so that he, usually, is less stubborn
and stuck in the pattern.
Iron. A step up pattern has a quality of stubbornness and strength
about it that is strongly associated with excessive and biounavailable
iron in the body. People with step
up pattern may be called ÒironheadsÓ. This is not a complimentary term and
refers to a quality of hardness, stubbornness, and perhaps a Type A
personality. They can be
Òhard-assÓ or Òtight-assÓ people.
They are moving forward, but at another level are reversed and Òlosing
altitudeÓ fast.
Iron is an older ÔmaleÕ mineral
that is rather hard, strong but inflexible, and iron is a rather brittle
metal. Iron accumulates in the amygdala and is associated with feelings of anger and rage. This is exactly the quality a person
displays when in a step up pattern.
Copper and magnesium seem to act
as iron antagonists with this pattern to help balance the person physically,
mentally and emotionally. These
minerals are critical to turn the pattern around.
Vampires. Some with this pattern are energy vampires. This is an interesting concept that is
discussed in a separate article entitled Energetic
Vampirism on this site.
Vitamins
can kill with this pattern. Holistic doctors and naturopaths can and
often do kill patients with step up pattern. They do this by giving them incorrect nutrients. In this case, these include B-complex
vitamins, vitamins C and E, zinc and potassium. Giving thyroid or adrenal support can also worsen the
situation.
All of the above supplements
tend to increase the oxidation rate and lower copper, the opposite of what is
needed in this situation.
A karmic or movement ending
pattern. Step-up is called in acupuncture
Òstepping out of lifeÓ. So the
pattern may be considered a type of ending of life or karmic ending pattern. It may also be said to mean Ògoing out
with a bangÓ. Other hair analysis
patterns are related to death, but indicate going out with a wimper or just fading away (a very slow oxidation rate, for
example or four lows pattern, in most cases.)
STEP UP PATTERN ON A RETEST
This is much more common that a
step-up pattern on an initial hair test.
One reason for this is that it is not a serious or even an important
pattern. It just means that a
person is retracing the pattern, to some degree. It is usually temporary and not of
great importance. The nutritional
balancing program must be adjusted to resolve it, but that is all that is
needed.
COMBINATIONS INVOLVING STEP UP PATTERN
Step up pattern may be found in
conjunction with a number of other common patterns. These include:
1.
Four highs or three highs. In this case, the pattern may be
less severe.
2.
Three lows. I am not sure how this affects the
pattern at this time.
3.
Four lows. As explained above, this changes the
meaning of the step up pattern completely, and is a positive pattern indicating
a strong push to move back into regular life from four lows.
4.
Beam Me Up, Scottie pattern. Beam Me Up
pattern. Described on this website, causes higher sodium and potassium
readings and may be somewhat related to a step up pattern. Beam me up pattern is often related to eating a lot of
fruit.
5.
Poor eliminator patterns (very low levels of the toxic metals and some vital
minerals). This does not change the
pattern, but often accompanies it.
The likely reason is that a low sodium/potassium ratio is associated
with impaired energy, which may affect oneÕs ability to eliminate toxic metals.
---------------------------------------------------
In
some interesting ways, this is the opposite of the step up pattern, and appears
this way visually. Instead of
steps ascending to the right, it appears as steps descending from the left to
the right on the hair chart. Other
names for the pattern are coming back to life or stepping into life.
The
pattern is defined as:
1.
A slow oxidation rate.
2.
A double high ratio pattern. This means the sodium/potassium ratio
is above about 5 and the calcium/magnesium ratio is greater than about 9.5.
3.
Visually, the chart must look like steps going down to the right.
4.
Four lows must not be present. (If it is present, the pattern has a different meaning
explained below.)
5. The pattern can be present on
the second four minerals.
Step
down pattern with a four lows pattern, but only on an initial hair test. In this case only, the pattern seems to indicate a person
who is moving ahead with determination to leave this life. Why this is so different than when the
four lows pattern is not present I do not know, but it changes the meaning of the
step down pattern very much.
It is the same in that the
person is directed, determined and Òmoving ahead firmlyÓ with something, but it
is a four lows context and that is the difference.
MEANING OF STEP DOWN PATTERN
We
find step down pattern is more common in women. The person is often very determined to move ahead in his
or her life, in spite of some fatigue or exhaustion. The person is often moving ahead slowly, with this pattern,
and doing well, even though the energy level is low. It is thus a pattern of overcoming odds against oneself, and
slowly pushing forward in oneÕs life.
One can call it Òdigging in oneÕs heelsÓ and moving ahead in spite of
obstacles.
Developing the
will. One may say that the
step down pattern is associated with developing the quality of focused and
concentrated will in oneÕs life.
This is in contrast to a step up pattern, which is associated with a
need to develop the quality of love and surrender, and to move past the lower
will of the ego. I know this may
sound vague, but it indicates how the hair tissue mineral patterns can relate
to developmental states of a human being.
ROLE OF COPPER, ZINC, SELENIUM AND OTHER MINERALS IN THE STEP
DOWN PATTERN
Copper. Those with step down pattern tend to be
high in copper, even if the hair copper level is normal or low. Often indicators of hidden copper
toxicity are present with this pattern. These might include an elevated calcium level, or a very low
potassium level.
As with the step-up pattern, some
of the copper is usually biounavailable. However, it is probably not ÒamigoÓ
copper, which is a copper oxide.
To learn more, read Copper Toxicity Syndrome on this
website. To learn about the
amigos, please read The Amigos – Iron,
Manganese And Aluminum on this website. Copper is not as often in an amigo or oxide form, but it
does occur.
Iron. Most people with step down pattern also have too much biounavailable iron.
This raises the sodium level and can give rise to a high
sodium/potassium ratio. They also
have too much of the other ÒamigosÓ in
almost all cases, such as aluminum, manganese, and biounavaillable
chromium, selenium, nickel, molybdenum, cobalt, boron and others (but not
copper).
Other toxic metals. Those with step down pattern are usually quite toxic. This has to do with their slow
oxidation rate, which is always associated with the accumulation of many toxic metals,
even if they are not revealed on any type of blood, urine, saliva
or hair test. These toxic metals
include lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum and mercury.
A
strong need for zinc.
Dr. Eck discovered that when the sodium/potassium ratio is high, one
needs a lot of supplementary zinc.
Zinc tends to lower this ratio.
Zinc supplementation is even
more necessary when the double high ratio pattern is present, which occurs with
step down pattern.
A more yin pattern. Step down pattern is a more yin or pattern (high copper and
slow oxidation). One of the most
important minerals to correct this tendency is the modern ÒmaleÓ mineral,
zinc.
Selenium. Another male mineral, selenium, may also be helpful or even
essential for step down pattern.
Selenium is an even more advanced or spiritual ÒmaleÓ mineral that helps
to balance this pattern.
Avoid
giving copper. Although a copper supplement is vital
for the step up pattern, it can be damaging for those with step down
pattern. Do not give copper supplements,
or high copper foods for step down pattern, even if the hair copper level is
very low.
OTHER ISSUES INVOLVED WITH STEP DOWN PATTERN
Conflict
issues. Step down is definitely a pattern related to some internal
conflict. The person is determined
to move ahead, but is somewhat slowed down by low energy, low adrenal and
thyroid activity, and usually by sympathetic dominance, which involves some
fear, anxiety, anger and depression.
Scattered,
yet focused. Step down is also a combination of a tendency
to be somewhat spacy or scattered (high copper) and a
determination to move forward in a focused way.
Often
intelligent, spiritually-minded individuals. While step down pattern is common, it
often occurs in people who are of above average intelligence and often those
who are interested in spiritual matters.
STEP DOWN PATTERN ON A MINERAL ANALYSIS RETEST
This
is a wonderful event. It usually
means a person is feeling better, and has made some important decisions to enter
into a new life path or a new project, at least. It is a decision to move ahead with life in some way. It might be to pursue a new job or
career, or to begin or deepen an interpersonal relationship, or to move oneÕs
residence, or simply to take a new interest in living.
This is in stark contrast to
step-up pattern on a retest, which is not very important.
All
step-down patterns are what might be called Òkarmic beginningsÓ, or starting a
new movement in oneÕs life. This
is also the case when it occurs on a retest during a nutritional balancing
program.
A SYMPATHETIC DOMINANCE PATTERN
While
the degree varies, all step-down patterns tend to have sympathetic dominance
pattern as part of their quality.
Sympathetic dominance is associated with a tendency to push oneself and
to overuse the sympathetic nervous system. For more on this important autonomic nervous system-related
pattern, please read Sympathetic
Dominance on this website.
COMBINATIONS WITH OTHER PATTERNS
Step down pattern may be found
in conjunction with a number of other common patterns. These include:
1.
Four highs or three highs. This is a weaker version of the step
down pattern, we believe, but basically similar.
2.
Four lows. As explained above, this changes the
meaning of the pattern completely, and may indicate a person who is moving in a
direction to leave this life, and somewhat enthusiastic about it. Fortunately, it can be turned around
with a nutritional balancing program if the person will follow the program
carefully.
3.
A calcium shell (calcium greater than 165 mg% for a woman and about 155 mg% for
a man). This does not seem to alter the pattern
much, especially if the calcium level is less than about 300 mg%.
4.
Sympathetic dominance pattern (potassium of 4 mg% or less). This is seen very commonly with step down pattern. This has been discussed above.
5.
Spiritual defensive pattern (Ca/Mg ratio greater than 13.5). This is often present.
It indicates a need to let go of something in the lifestyle. Usually, it is considered a negative
pattern. However, it does not seem
to interfere with the positive nature of a step down pattern.
6.
Poor eliminator patterns (very low toxic metal levels). This is very common with step down pattern. The likely reason is that when a person
is in slow oxidation, and in sympathetic dominance, which is often the case
with step down pattern, less nerve energy goes to the eliminative organs, impairing
normal elimination of toxic metals and of toxic forms of vital minerals as
well.
I. INTRODUCTION
We will begin
this article with qualities they share, or have in common in some way. This will give you more insight into
these two important patterns.
IV. QUALITIES THAT
ARE SHARED BY STEP UP AND STEP DOWN PATTERNS
The following can help one
understand the specifics of step up and step down patterns.
1.
Double patterns/efforting patterns. Both are what are called double ratio patterns, involving
the calcium/magnesium ratio and sodium/potassium ratio. With step up pattern, both these ratios
are low. With step down pattern,
both ratios are elevated.
Double patterns in this case
indicates
determination or efforting, and this is the case with
these two patterns. Both have to
do with willpower and strong directed effort. Both have to do with stubbornness or Òdigging in oneÕs
heelsÓ.
2.
Both are visual patterns. This means that these patterns, more
than many others, can often, but not always, be visualized on the calibrated
hair analysis charts from Analytical Research Laboratories. They are not visible on the graphs from
other laboratories that I am aware of.
The hair testing lab must not wash the hair for
accurate mineral readings. I am
not sure why the visual aspect is so important in this case, but it is.
3.
Straight line patterns. While not always exactly true, this
means that if one connects the top of the bars or hash marks on a calibrated
ARL graph, the shape of the pattern is more or less a straight line. Step up pattern looks like a line
tilting upward to the right. Step
down pattern looks like a line tilting downward to the right.
These straight lines may have to
do with directed will because both patterns are characterized
by this feature. The
straight lines also may have to do with a certain type of alignment,
coordination or integration of love and will that occurs with both these
patterns. Said differently, both
patterns are highly directed.
Their energy is not random or scattered, as are some other hair analysis
patterns.
4.
The steeper the tilt of the lines in both cases, the more extreme the
pattern. A steeper slope of the steps
means a more determined person and therefore a more extreme pattern.
5. ÒWallÓ patterns. This just means that in both cases, it appears visually as
if the person is Òup against a wallÓ.
This has psychological importance in the pattern. With the step up pattern, the wall is
in front of the person. The
meaning is Òbeating oneÕs head against a wall and getting nowhere fast, or
wearing out fastÓ.
With step down pattern, the wall
is seen behind the person, and he or she is moving away from it steadily. The idea is Òback to the wall with
nowhere to go but forwardÓ.
6.
Clear movement in relation to earth life. Step down is a
clear movement of Òstepping into lifeÓ, unless four lows is also present, in
which case it is the opposite.
Step up pattern is clearly Òstepping out of lifeÓ unless four lows is
present, in which case it is the opposite.
7.
Sympathetic nervous system patterns. Step up
pattern is the improper use of the sympathetic nervous system to keep moving in
an improper direction, generally leading to death. Step down pattern is also a strong use of the sympathetic
nervous system to continue in life, or to enter the mainstream of life
more. The above is the opposite if
four lows is also present.
8.
Stalled versus picking up speed. This is a type
of aircraft wing analogy. The
shape of step up pattern (like an aircraft wing tilted upward, viewed from the
side) is that of an airplane wing that is stalled. This is exactly the meaning of the pattern in psychological
and movement terms.
The shape of the step down
pattern (an aircraft wing tilting downward, when viewed from the side) is that
of a dive or picking up speed.
This is the meaning of step down, in one sense. Those familiar with aircraft know that
neither of these tilts to the wings are that safe or stable, but a stalled wing
is the worst possible situation for an aircraft, and it is also very dangerous
for a human being or animal to be in a step up pattern. In fact, it is among the most serious
death pattern on a hair mineral analysis.
A step down pattern or a wing
that in the dive position, is not bad provided one can
stabilize it. In fact, pilots may
put their aircraft into a dive temporarily to gain airspeed.
In this regard, step up pattern
may be said to be expressing loss
of airspeed. Step down
pattern indicates increasing
air speed. Adequate airspeed
is essential for flight, and it is essential for life.
9.
Double discharging versus double charging patterns. Step up pattern with the double low ratio, is a double
discharging pattern, electrically.
This is usually unsustainable and will cause death unless it
changes. Step down pattern is
double charging (double high ratio), and this is a very good trend. Charging and discharging of the cells
electrically is an important concept in nutritional balancing. A high sodium/potassium ratio is charging,
generally, while a low sodium/potassium ratio is discharging. Double patterns just reinforce this
tendency.
10.
Moving almost directly yin or yang. Step up
pattern is a movement up and
out, or more yin. This is generally not a good thing today, or ever. Step down pattern is a movement in and
down, which is more yang. The exception is when four lows pattern
is also present, in which case the opposite appears to be true. This is a more complex situation that
is discussed later in this article.
11.
Hard and fast patterns. This goes with all that has been stated
above. Both patterns are rather clear cut and ÒstraightÓ in this sense. These are not vague or wishy-washy
patterns. With a step up pattern
on an initial hair test only, if the pattern does not change, the person may
die quickly in a catastrophic way such as a heart attack or stroke.
12.
A need for energy center balancing. With step up
pattern, the need is for balancing of the second and third energy center. With step down pattern, the first
energy center may needs balancing.
13.
About the heart. Both step up and step down have to do
with the heart, both the physical and the emotional heart or soul. Step up pattern with fast oxidation often
indicates enough adrenal strength, but often ends up with a heart attack or
stroke. Perhaps this is due to a
copper deficiency and Ònot being in oneÕs heartÓ. Copper is a feminine mineral associated with softness and
gentleness.
Step down pattern
is often found in people with heart, or those who are Òfollowing their heartÓ,
at least to some degree. This may be why it is generally a positive
pattern. However, they need to
work to strengthen the lower Òfollow-throughÓ power organs such as the adrenals
and the kidneys.
14.
About the kidneys. Step up is more associated with
stronger kidneys, whereas step down is associated with weaker kidneys.
15.
Some reversal in both patterns. Step down pattern
involves reversal because the oxidation rate is quite slow in most cases. However, the Na/K ratio and the Ca/Mg
ratio are both high, indicating a strong efforting
tendency and underlying strength.
In
contrast, step
up pattern involves a fast oxidation rate, which is not reversed. However, both the Na/K ratio and the
Ca/Mg ratio are low, indicating reversal, with hostility, resentment,
frustration and a deep-seated weakness pattern. This may be why step up pattern is associated with a quick
death.
16.
Both are blocked movement patterns to some degree, especially step up pattern. Step up pattern is fast oxidation, normally associated
with fast movement forward.
However, in this case it is accompanied by a double low ratio, which
stops forward movement and can end in death.
With step down pattern, slow
oxidation is associated with fatigue, burnout, exhaustion and
introversion. A double high ratio,
however, is associated with aggressiveness, some anger, and moving
forward. In step down pattern, a
person who is quite tired, in other words, is moving ahead, Òmaking a moveÓ or
Òmoving on outÓ, slowly but surely.
17. Good and
bad anger. Step up pattern
involves a low Na/K ratio, which is always associated with resentment, or chronic anger and hostility.
This is always unhealthy. Step
down is associated with a high Na/K ratio, associated with some acute anger and
some acute stress, which in this case are being channeled positively.
18.
Father/mother imbalance patterns. This is an
area of research. A low
calcium/magnesium ratio, as seen in the step up pattern, tends to be associated
with psychological imbalances related to mother. A high calcium/magnesium ratio, associated with step down
pattern, has more to do with issues related to oneÕs father. In both cases, more awareness of these
issues and perhaps more maturity may be needed to resolve the patterns easily.
