Why use Mineral Analysis

Element	Deficiency Symptoms and causes of depletion	Symptoms of overload and toxicity
Aluminum*	none	Possibly Alzheimer's disease
Arsenic*	none	Abdominal pains, hair loss
Barium*	none	High blood pressure, intestinal problems
Beryllium*	none	Lung disease
Boron	possibly needed for calcium absorption	Growth delay, diarrhea
Cadmium*	none	Hypertension, increases cancer susceptibility, prostate cancer
Calcium	Insomnia, muscle cramps, growth delay, high blood pressure, osteoporosis.
Chlorine	Needed for production of gastric acid	linked to hypertension and anemia
Chromium	Atherosclerosis, hypoglycemia, diabetes	Skin problems such as dermatitis
Cobalt	B12 deficiency	Depresses iron blood levels
Copper	Reduced hemoglobin synthesis,impaired central nervous function and respiration,, loss of skin and hair color, blood vessel rupture, bone demineralization	Hyperactivity, liver problems, migraine, cholesteral problems
Fluoride	Poor development of teeth	Marbled teeth
Germanium	possibly aids immune functions	Kidney problems.
Gold	none	Diarrhea
Iodine	Goiter, hypothyroidism	Nervousness, heart fluttering
Iron	Anemia, energy problems, headaches	Liver enlargement and cirrhosis
Lead*	none	Anemia, learning & emotional disorders, digestive problems, anorexia, fatigue, convulsions, headaches, violent behavior
Lithium	unknown, but used to treat manic depression	May affect potassium metabolism
Manganese	Growth failure, dizziness, tinnitus, bone deformation, collagen problems, abnormal fat, sugar and protein metabolism, sexual problems, dull headaches	Mental confusion, nervous disorders
Magnesium	Energy & muscle problems, food allergies, diabetes, confusion, skin lesions, joint and back problems, nervous problems, cardiac arrhythmia, racing pulse, pancreatitis, nausea, convulsions and seizures	Respiratory depression, chronic kidney disease
Mercury*	none	Tremors, energy loss, increased pain treshold, skin problems, hyperactivity, metallic taste in mouth, increased blood pressure, depression, irritability, hallucination, psychosis, allergies, thyroid disorders, loss of teeth, mental disorders, convulsions, kidney failure
Molybdenum	Uric acid accumulation and gout, reduced cancer resistance, impotence, dental caries, possibly asthma	Copper deficiency, anemia
Nickel*	minute amounts might be needed for certain metabolic processes	Skin allergies,gingivitis, enzyme disorders, lung cancer and increased cancer susceptibility, vertigo
Palladium	unknown	Fatigue, burning tongue, lymph node swelling, immune weakness, headaches, swollen tongue, tinnitus, memory loss, palsy, excessive salivation.
Phosphorus	Irregular breathing, rickets, poor teeth and bone formation, poor growth, osteomalacia, mental and physical fatigue, anxiety, irritability, muscle problems	Renal problems
Potassium	water gain, muscle weakness, fatigue, mental apathy, constipation, irregular heartbeat, nervousness	kidney and adrenal problems
Selenium	Growth impairment, immune deficiency & tendency towards chemical allergies, muscular dystrophy, increased sensitivity to cadmium and mercury, cataracts, increased susceptibility towards cancer	Liver & kidney damage, hair loss, yellow skin, mottled and damaged teeth, metallic taste, loss of fingernails, chronic arthritis
Silicon	Necessary for normal growth and bone formation, healthy connective tissues, skin and hair	toxicity is always associated with silicosis due to inhaling silica particles of silica and asbestos
Silver	unknown	gray discoloration of skin due to silver being deposits in skin and organs
Sodium	Dehydration, excessive sweating, burns, diabetes, low blood pressure, reduced calcium absorption, eye diseases, weight loss, cardiovascular weakness	Edema (water gain), heart and kidney problems, weight gain, hyperventilation, adrenal problems
Strontium	no known deficiency symptoms, however strontium protects against caries and osteoporosis	Excess strontium intake blocks calcium uptake
Thallium	unknown	Autonomic dysfunction, tachycardia, hypertension
Tin	minute amounts might be needed for normal growth	Vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, loss of appetite, metallic taste, dry throat, stannosis as a result of excessive inhalation of tin oxide
Uranium	none	Increased susceptability to cancer esp Lung cancer, kidney damage
Vanadium	appears to protect from hyperglycemia, might have weight-reducing function, reduces caries formation	Purple-green tongue, diarrhea, cramps, impaired reflexes and neuromuscular irritation, chronic bronchitis, manic depression, skin problems.
Zinc	Immune deficiency and increased susceptibility to infections, prostate problems, delayed growth and delayed sexual maturity, delayed wound and burn healing, anorexia, severe hair loss, skin problems, enzyme deficiency and digestive problemes, loss of taste and smell, menstrual problems, depression, reduced lactation during breast feeding, diabetes, white spots on nails.	Impaired immune function due to impaired iron and copper overload, disturbed phosphorus metabolism, impaired growth as is seen with zinc deficiency.
