|
| Many conditions present with "high/low" levels of a nutrient, since both, excessive and deficient states of the same nutrient can
| be implicated with a particular disorder. For instance, low calcium may trigger an inflammatory type of arthritis, while high calcium
| may lead to a degenerative type of arthritis (calcification). Low copper (or low calcium) may result in weak and fragile blood vessel
| walls that can lead to hemorrhagic types of vascular disease (stroke), while high copper (or high calcium) can lead to hardening or
| degeneration of arterial walls (arteriosclerosis).
| Low Vitamin B5 may result in inflammatory conditions such as acne or gout, due to high uric acid or phosphates depressing white
| blood cell activity, while high Vitamin B5 may provoke the formation of excessive, immature white blood cells, which may lead to
| pus formation in individuals with a weak or compromised immune system such as leukemia.
|
| "Low" levels indicate that this particular nutrient has been below normal in some patients with that medical condition, and that
| supplementation may be beneficial. "High" levels indicate that an individual may either test abnormally high for that particular
| chemical or nutrient, or symptoms may be worsened or triggered when that item is supplemented.
