Keeping Rotarians Healthy
By Pierre Beaumier PhD, CChem, FCIC.
President of CanAlt Health Labs And Lipid Analytical Labs
Dr. Beaumier spoke about the benefits and cautions of some essential minerals based on hair and blood analysis.
Omega 3 (do not use Omega 6 and 12)
Combats depression and anxiety
Improves your vision significantly
Ensures healthy brain development in infants and fetuses
Decreases chances of cardiovascular problems appearing
Prevents ADHD symptoms from manifesting in children
Provides benefits for people with metabolic syndrome
Protects the body from inflammation
Safeguard against autoimmune diseases ( lupus, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis)
Helps with psychiatric disorders (US military studying)
Omega-3 slows down mental decline and Alzheimer's
Hair Research based on 2,000 samples from throughout the world
Selenium
- Low selenium in hair is seen with cancer victims- poor immune system
- (healthy-1.3ppm, deceased-.5ppm)
- Cancer victims... .35ppm
Selenium Levels and Disease
- Average concentration-healthy (225) .99
- Type 2 diabetes...(74).................. .57
- Respiratory system problems (38). .57
- COPD....................................(8) .40
- Cancer..................................(23) .57
- Heart disease ......................(31)..... .51
- Kidney problems (11)..................... .47
- AIDS………..study
One brazil nut per day will provide more than the RDA of selenium.
Iron
High iron in the hair is an indication of health issues, seen in cancers, liver disease and hemochromatosis. Most samples from “sick” and deceased individuals had very high iron. (healthy 13ppm, sick 123ppm, deceased 68ppm)
Sodium/Potassium
Low sodium with high potassium associated with stress and blood pressure issues. Usually both elements are high at time of death (Healthy sodium 313ppm potassium 200ppm; deceased sodium 1267ppm potassium 640ppm). These elements are critical to the cells that regulate the heartbeat. In healthy individuals we see sodium higher than potassium(2/1). In many we see potassium higher than sodium. This reversal we see in children with high copper that causes hyperactivity
Food Intolerance
Many people produce IgG antibodies to certain foods (see many reactions to milk)
Milk contains casein A1 and A2 types
Mutation in cows occurred a long time ago and some cows produce A1 others A2
Human milk is A2. Many react to A1 type milk causing digestive disorders.
A2 milk is now available in Canada!
Cortisol
Cortisol levels fluctuate throughout the day based on stress levels. When determining cortisol levels, hair samples provide an average reading over 2-3 months. Blood and saliva samples report current levels.
Men over 50 with high hair cortisol have a 70% chance of a heart attack!!!!
