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. MOST IMPORTANT: 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.)
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.
