Cancer Markers and Hair Testing

Cancer Markers and Hair Testing

In HTMA, we consider the sodium to potassium ratio very important in terms of a cancer marker.

Cancer Markers In The HTMA

• A sodium to potassium (Na/K) ratio that is LESS THAN 1.4 to 1 is considered a high risk for cancer.
• A FAST oxidizer with a severe copper deficiency = lower than 1.0.
• Extremely HIGH calcium to magnesium (Ca/Mg) ratio.
• Extremely LOW calcium to magnesium (Ca/Mg) ratio.

The Level of Estrogen and Copper Have a Direct Relationship

• As copper rises, often estrogen rises also.
• This is one reason many women and even men are “estrogen dominant” today.
• They have too much copper and cannot detoxify estrogen well enough.
• This imbalance is tied to cancer because estrogen is a potent carcinogen.
• It is the reason we never recommend supplementing even natural estrogen unless it is done with extreme caution.
• Supplementing estrogen rarely needed if the body chemistry can be balanced using nutritional balancing science.

Connection Of Copper to Cancer

Copper causes liver toxicity when it is in excess or when it biounavailable.

• The liver is important to protect to avoid and to control cancer in every case, according to Dr. Max Gerson, MD, a pioneer in non-toxic cancer therapies.

Copper alters thyroid gland activity in most cases.

• Those who have too much copper cannot detoxify estrogen well enough.
• This imbalance is tied to cancer because estrogen is a potent carcinogen.
• It is the reason we do not recommend supplementing even natural estrogen unless it is done with extreme caution.
• High copper can contribute to cancer and many other illnesses such as Grave’s disease.
• Note: Supplementing estrogen is rarely needed if the body chemistry can be balanced using nutritional balancing science.

Copper imbalance is associated with fungal and other infections.

• Fungal and bacterial infections can often be at the root of a cancer diagnosis.
• It is known that root canal-filled teeth can give off bacterial toxins that help predispose the body to cancers of certain kinds.

Copper blocks anaerobic metabolism when it is in balance.  

• Copper can help prevent cancer when copper is in balance, but not when it is too high or too low in the body.

Copper in excess often interferes with zinc metabolism.

• Zinc is required for the immune response and for over 100 enzymes in the body.
• Zinc helps with digestion to protecting the skin from invasion from infections and even some skin cancers.
