Role of Phosphorus in your body!
Bone structure - 80-85% of phosphorus in the body is located in the bones and teeth
Energy production - (ATP - adenosine triphosphate and ADP - adenosine diphosphate)
Cell membranes - (as phospolipids)
Genetic reactions- in DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA - ribonucleic acid
Buffering agent - to maintain osmotic pressure
Functions of Phosphorus!
Digestive- regulates absorption of calcium and a variety of trace elements Phosphorus in excess has a laxative action
Nervous - source of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), component of the myelin sheath
Endocrine - interacts with vitamin D
Blood- red blood cell (RBC) metabolism
Muscular- adenosine triphosphate (ATP) needed for muscle contraction
Skeletal- component of bone and teeth
Immune- adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for leukocytes

Antagonistic Nutrients
Absorption- calcium, aluminum, iron, magnesium, vegetarian diets, vitamin D deficiency
Hair Analysis Notes!
High Hair Phosphorus
An elevated phosphorus level is frequently indicative of excessive protein breakdown of body tissues. As proteins break down, phosphorus is released. Phosphorus levels may increase temporarily as toxic metals are being eliminated in the course of a nutrition program. Very high phosphorus can indicate a serious metabolic disturbance.
Low Hair Phosphorus
A low phosphorus level is frequently associated with inadequate protein synthesis. Although most diets are adequate in phosphorus, those on low-protein diets or vegetarians may have a low phosphorus intake. Zinc is required for protein synthesis. Often a low phosphorus level is associated with a zinc deficiency, cadmium toxicity, or zinc loss. When these imbalances are corrected, the phosphorus level improves. A low phosphorus level may be due to poor digestion or assimilation of protein. This may be due to digestive enzyme deficiency, low hydrochloric acid level, or other factors.
Sources of Phosphorus!
Seafood- tuna, mackerel, pike, red snapper, salmon, sardines, whitefish, scallops, shad, smelt, anchovies, bass, bluefish, carp, caviar, eel, halibut, herring trout
Nuts/seeds - pinon, pistachios, pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, filberts, hickory,
peanuts, pecans.
Vegetables - chickpeas, garlic, lentils, popcorn, soybeans
Grains - wheat bran and germ, wild rice, buckwheat, millet, oats, oatmeal, brown rice, rice bran, rye, wheat
Miscellaneous - kelp, yeast, bone meal

Phosphorus - Mineral
Description
Phosphorus comprises approximately from 0.8% to 1.1% of total body weight. 80-90% of this phosphorus is found within the skeleton and teeth, where it is compounded with calcium to form calcium phosphate. Calcium phosphate is a primary constituent of hydroxyapatite crystals in bone and teeth, and helps to add structural rigidity to the softer organic portions.
Phosphorus plays an important role in almost all cell metabolic activities. It is a major constituent of the molecule phosphate, which is instrumental in the storage of energy as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules.
Phosphorus is an essential compound of RNA and DNA, and is a part of the molecular structure of phospholipids, the key components in the structure of cell membranes. The phosphate groups is of primary importance in glycolysis. It is also present in many enzymes and proteins.
Phosphate is instrumental in maintaining the acid/base balance in the body by acting as a buffer. It also activates many of the vitamin B-Complex vitamins, allowing them to function as coenzymes in various metabolic processes.
Method of Action
Phosphorus is most abundantly seen in the body as a constituent of the molecule phosphate, one of the bone salts which add structural rigidity to the softer protein matrix of bone and teeth.
Perhaps phosphorus’ most important metabolic role is as a constituent of the molecule phosphate. When this molecule links to an adenosine pyrophosphoric acid (ADP) molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed, processing a high energy phosphate bond. When broken, this bond releases energy and the phosphate, reforming and ADP molecule. The ATP "energy" molecule is formed during glycolysis and other processes involving the release of chemical energy from food. ATP is used as the primary source of energy for many metabolic and enzymatic activities, especially muscle contraction, active transport, and the formation of DNA. Phosphate is an important constituent of RNA and DNA. It serves to link the individual bases with one another.
The energy released from the high energy phosphate bond of ATP is essential for the operation of the sodium/potassium pump, which exchanges three sodium ions for two potassium ions across a biological membrane. This pump is used to regulate relative amounts of sodium and potassium excreted and retained in the body.
Phosphate, from ATP, reacts with choline to initiate synthesis of phospholipids which are essential constituents of cell membranes. Phospholipids are instrumental in regulating cellular permeability and are found in the exterior membrane of nerve cells. They are also helpful in solubilizing relatively nonsoluble triglycerides and cholesterols.
ADP, which contains two phosphate molecules, is a constituent of blood platelets and is secreted from platelet granules to stimulate platelet aggregation for blood clotting.
Phosphate also plays an important role, due to its effective buffering action, in maintaining acid/base balance in blood plasma.
Phosphorus absorption is about 50-70% efficient, as calcium, iron, and zinc tend to complex with phosphorus in the stomach, thus reducing absorption. Vitamin D tends to promote the absorption of both phosphorus and calcium from the intestine. Excretion through the urine regulated the body’s level of phosphorus.
Properties and Uses
Phosphorus supplementation is important in patients with low phosphate to calcium ratios for promotion of proper bone and tooth mineralization, especially in younger persons.
Phosphorus may also be beneficial in reversing, to some extent, osteomalacia, rickets, bone pain, and muscle weakness experienced by persons with hypophosphatemia.
Consequences of Deficiency
Phosphorus deficiency is extremely rare and occurs primarily in persons who use phosphate-binding antacids or who suffer abnormally excessive urinary losses. The principal symptoms include fatigue, anorexia, and demineralization of bone. Other possible symptoms include osteomalacia, convulsions, and abnormal or incomplete mineralization of developing teeth.
Phosphate deficiencies can be the result of defective renal phosphate absorption, as seen in familial vitamin D-resistant rickets, a genetically linked disorder which affects vitamin D utilization. Symptoms are characteristic of other forms of rickets.
Toxicity Levels
Phosphorus is not toxic in large amounts, although a disproportionately large amount of phosphorus relative to calcium can induce an increased fecal excretion of calcium, possibly resulting in a calcium deficiency.
In patients with renal insufficiencies, there may be a decreased urinary excretion of phosphorus, resulting in high blood phosphate levels. This condition may result in skeletal demineralization and mineral resorption. This condition can be controlled by ingestion of aluminum hydroxide or calcium carbonate, both of which reduce phosphate absorption.

The Three Minerals You Need to Balance Your Nervous System – The Importance of Phosphorus, Potassium, and Calcium
The nervous system has two main components: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is what connects the rest of the body to the central nervous system. There are three types of peripheral nerves: autonomic (involuntary nerves), somatic (voluntary nerves), and sensory nerves.
For our purposes here
we will focus on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) - sometimes thought of as the “automatic nervous system.” That is because what it controls are for the most part involuntary activities. It will conduct nerve impulses from the central nervous system to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glandular epithelial muscle. To put in plain English – it tells our heart to beat, our digestive system to move food along, the endocrine glands to produce hormones, and for us to breathe.
The autonomic nervous system has two components:
the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and
the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). During our normal daily affairs we will switch back and forth between the two of them, but it is impossible for them both to be going at the same time.
The sympathetic nervous system serves as the emergency or stress system. Think of the “fight or flight” response. See a tiger, need to run.
The parasympathetic nervous system controls our normal, everyday conditions. In an analogy to a car,
the sympathetic nervous system is often described as the accelerator, while
the parasympathetic system is the brakes. Sometimes after long periods of stress the autonomic nervous system is not performing correctly and we will accelerate when we should brake and brake when we should accelerate.
While our body was designed to handle stress, it was not designed to handle the constant stress that many people experience. Often people do not recognize their own stress level as they erroneously believe they are handling the stress, or it is how they always feel and do not notice a difference. Yet, their body is under constant stress from both conscious and unintended lifestyle and diet choices.
Both our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems require
specific nutrients.
The accelerator function of the sympathetic nervous system is controlled by Phosphorus. Phosphorus is energizing – like fire. In fact, it burns immediately when exposed to air! Fortunately our Phosphorus is inside our body!
We are bombarded with messages about the importance of calcium for our bones. Well, without phosphorus all the calcium in the world will not do you much good. In fact, it may cause harm if there is too much calcium and not sufficient phosphorus.
Phosphorus is the second key mineral by content in our bones. It supports healthy bone formation, energy production, cell growth and repair (remember blood cells are made in our bones), collagen synthesis (that's what helps make the bone), cardiovascular function, and nerve and muscle activity. It is a key part of calcium and sugar metabolism.
Food sources of phosphorus include almonds, brewer's yeast, eggs, fish (halibut, salmon), glandular meats, lean beef, lentils, liver, milk, peanuts, poultry, pumpkin seeds, wheat bran, and yogurt.
What about potassium? Potassium strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system. It acts like a governor and helps calm the nervous system. It is critical for the ongoing health of every cell in our body. That’s a pretty important job! Along with its partner sodium, the two minerals balance the nutrient and waste exchange of each cell. Potassium is involved in nerve and muscle functioning where it again teams with sodium. It also maintains our body’s fluid balance, electrolyte balance, and pH balance.
Foods containing potassium include: almonds, artichokes, avocado, bananas, beet greens, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, kale, lentils, lima beans, oranges, papaya, pinto beans, prunes, raisins, spinach, sunflower seeds, Swiss chard, tomatoes, wheat germ, winter squash, and yams.
Calcium is one of the most talked about minerals and for good reason. It supports strong bone structure, teeth, and muscle tissue, aids in blood clotting function, supports cardiovascular and nerve functions, and helps in normal functioning of many enzymes. Calcium works in conjunction with Phosphorus and Potassium to balance these important systems.
The best sources of calcium are of course from food. It is also a misconception that this has to come from milk. Leafy green vegetables are a great source of calcium. For calcium choose: bone meal, cheese (best are Cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss), collard greens, flaxseed, liver, milk, molasses, mustard greens, sesame seeds, spinach, turnip greens, wheat germ and yogurt.

PHOSPHORUS {it can be more clear to read the article directly to the link}
Phosphorus is a fascinating mineral, and a very important one in nutritional balancing science. It is called a macromineral because our bodies contain a lot of it. Other macrominerals are calcium, magnesium sodium, potassium and sulfur.
Phosphorus may be called the excitatory or high-energy mineral because it is also so involved in the human fuel system. This is a complex system by which we convert food and nutrients into a form that the cells use to produce their energy. Phosphorus is very fiery. It the only non-radioactive element that is not stable when in an atomic or singular form.
Some readers may recall a high school science experiment in which the teacher gently lifted a piece of pure phosphorus out of a jar filled with water. In less than a minute, it bursts into flame spontaneously. This is how unstable and fiery phosphorus is. In part because of this, phosphorus is a very essential mineral in the human body. It is also one of the most anabolic of all the minerals. This means it is needed to build up new body tissue.
The hair or soft tissue phosphorus level is also a most important reading on a hair tissue mineral analysis. Here it tells us about a person’s vitality, energy level, tissue regeneration, and when it is high, it may indicate a special form of mental development or a celebration pattern. Let us examine phosphorus in more detail.
SOURCES OF PHOSPHORUS
Phosphorus is found in all protein foods, along with nitrogen and often sulfur. These three elements are the hallmarks, as it were, of amino acids and proteins that play such a critical role in human and animal health. Plants such as vegetables are more built out of carbohydrates and sugars, while animal bodies are more built from proteins. This is very important to recall at all times, and one reason why low protein diets can be problematic.
The human being needs concentrated proteins every day, and those who follow very low protein diets are very foolish. Some people don’t want to bother with protein as it is more costly, and often must be prepared or cooked, compared to starches and sugars like breads, rice, pasta and fruits. This is always a mistake, in my experience of over 30 years.
Foods rich in high-quality phosphorus include meats, eggs, cheese and milk. Other sources that are not as high quality, in most cases, include nuts, seeds, and beans.
Harmful phosphorus compounds. Not all phosphorus compounds are healthful. For example, many raw grains are high in phytates, which are harmful phosphorus compounds. Cooking, fermenting, and special methods of food preparation, such as adding yeast to bread dough and adding lime to corn, were developed to reduce the high phytate content of grain foods.
This is an important reason NOT TO EAT RAW GRAINS, EVER. These include granola and even just soaked grains, which are popular today. Cooking or fermenting the grains gets rid of the phytates. However, cooking is best, in our experience because ferments have a number of problems that are explained in a separate article called Fermented Foods. Also read Raw Foods for more on why they do not work well today, except for raw dairy products which are excellent foods.
Phosphoric acid. Soda pop often contains phosphoric acid. This is used to cut the sweetness of the drink and to add a tangy flavor. It is also a stimulant, along with the sugar and caffeine in many soft drinks, and this is why these drinks are popular among exhausted people.
However, phosphoric acid is another harmful type of phosphorus compound that is very acidic and can erode the teeth, damage the stomach and intestines, helps destroy the bones, and should always be avoided. Phosphoric acid in Coca Cola, Pepsi and other soft drinks is the reason why these abominations can be used to clean the terminals on your car battery, but should never be drunk if you care for your body at all. Even dogs and cats know to avoid these products that should never be allowed to be sold.
FUNCTIONS OF PHOSPHORUS
1. Bone health. About 85% of your body’s phosphorus is in the bone structure, where it interacts with calcium to form the hard part of the bones. This, of course, is a critical body function. The right kind of phosphorus is needed, and the wrong kinds found in raw grains and soda pop, mainly, will tend to destroy the bones faster or cause them to grow in a deformed way.
2. Energy production. This is probably its most important role. ATP or adenosine triphosphate is the high-energy molecule that is used as the “refined fuel” for every purpose in the body. It is somewhat like refined gasoline in today’s society.
3. Growth and development. Phosphates are extremely important for growth of the body. For example, mother’s milk is rather low in phosphorus compared to cows milk. Cows, of course, grow much faster and larger than human beings. This is one of the problems with drinking cows milk. Milk from smaller animals such as goats and sheep tends to be more like human milk in their phosphorus content. Most of the phosphorus from dairy products ends up in the bones to create a strong and healthy body. Pasteurizing the milk damages some of the calcium and phosphorus compounds it contains and causes severe digestive problems for many people, especially those of the Black race and Asians. They may not even tolerate raw cow’s milk very well due to its high lactose content, but this is far better than pasteurized milk. Homogenizing the milk also may damage some phosphorus compounds and should never be done. Raw, unpasteurized, and unhomogenized milk is extremely safe when produced in a healthy way, which is easy to do.
4. The nervous system. The human nervous system is extremely dependent on phosphorus compounds, especially those found in meats and eggs. For example, phospholipids are needed to form the myelin sheath on the nerves. This is like the insulation on wires. If it is not strong, the brain literally short circuits, like two bare wires touching each other. This can cause seizures, multiple sclerosis and dozens of other problems.
Also, the brain uses so much energy (at least one-third of all your energy) that high-energy phosphorus compounds are critical for thinking and higher brain development of a human being. This is one of the reasons vegetarians are prone to fatigue, anxiety and depression much more than meat eaters. Meat is far higher in bioavailable phosphorus compounds than vegetarian proteins like nuts, seeds and beans.
5. Cell membranes. Phospholipids are also needed to maintain the integrity of our cell membranes. This may not seem important, but it is a critical body function. The cell membranes keep the right nutrients inside the cells and keep the bad ones out of the cells. Omega-3 fatty acids, along with others, are incorporated into phosphorus compounds to form cell membrane structures needed for the transfer of nutrients into the cells and to move waste products out of the cells.
6. All protein synthesis. Phosphorus is involved in DNA and RNA metabolism. RNA, in turn, is needed to make all body proteins, enzymes, hormones and trillions of other chemicals in our bodies. We must have enough phosphorus or the process stalls and health declines. Too much mercury or aluminum in the body definitely interferes with the process of protein biosynthesis. This may show up on a hair mineral analysis as a phosphorus level less than about 13 mg%.
7. Buffering the pH of the blood. Phosphorus compounds perform many interesting functions, among which is buffering acids in the body to maintain a steady pH or acid-base balance. While phosphorus is considered an acid-forming mineral, this is only partially true. Phosphorus in certain forms has a neutralizing effect upon lactic acid and other acids that can build up in the body. So phosphorus can be both acid-forming and alkaline-forming in our bodies depending on what it is used for.
8. Maintaining the osmotic balance of the body fluids. This is another very interesting use of phosphorus in our bodies. All the fluids in our bodies such as the lymph, blood and the fluid inside of all of our cells must be maintained in a balance. Otherwise pressures would build up and damage our cell walls, our blood vessels and other pipes or conduits through which the fluids flow. Some phosphorus compounds help to keep all the fluids in balance by conducting small amounts of it back and forth between various body compartments like the cells, the blood stream and the lymph fluid.
PHOSPHORUS ASSESSMENT USING HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS
The hair phosphorus level is a critical indicator on a properly performed hair mineral test. Dr. Paul Eck found that the hair phosphorus level mainly has to do with protein biosynthesis. Without sufficient protein synthesis, healing is definitely impaired. Thus, correcting the phosphorus level on a hair analysis is of primary importance.
An ideal hair phosphorus level is about 16 mg% or about 160 parts per million. The hair must not be washed at the laboratory for accurate hair readings.
False phosphorus readings with pubic hair. Pubic hair samples often produce very high phosphorus readings – up to 50 mg%! This is just one reason why the use of pubic hair for hair mineral analysis is not as reliable as head or body hair. Hair testing laboratories often allow practitioners to submit pubic hair samples, but I do not allow clients to do this unless there are no alternatives. (Fingernails or toenails are more reliable indicators of the soft tissue phosphorus level.)
A speed indicator. Phosphorus on a hair mineral test may indicate the speed of protein synthesis. This is an important sign, at times.
A catabolic indicator. When the hair phosphorus level is less than 15 mg%, a person is not synthesizing protein fast enough. This reflects a more catabolic state. This means one is tearing the body down faster than it is being built up. This is a simple, useful indicator for assessing a person’s health status and perhaps understanding why a person is not improving very fast.
An important vitality indicator. I also use phosphorus as a general vitality indicator, although Dr. Eck did not mention this too often. The ideal is about 15 to 16 mg%. When the level is lower, it indicates impaired vitality.
When the hair phosphorus is less than 12 mg%, vitality is definitely somewhat lower. A level less than 10 mg% is even more extreme. We see the low levels especially in those who do not eat enough protein, who have impaired digestion, yeast infections, vegetarians, extreme stress, and in a few other cases.
A yang indicator. Phosphorus is a fairly yang mineral. When it is low, it often indicates a more yin condition of the body.
An important “male” mineral. Another way to analyze phosphorus metabolism is by understanding that phosphorus is a “male” mineral because of its fiery nature. Trauma or anything that makes the body yin, including too many “female” toxic metals such as mercury and copper, can interfere with its functioning.
Lifestyle and phosphorus. Those with low hair phosphorus can be high strung. It is helpful for them to relax to help normalize their hair phosphorus level.
Impaired digestion and low phosphorus. Low hair phosphorus may indicate impaired digestion of protein if a person is eating sufficient high-quality protein. Many people do not digest protein very well. The reasons can be low digestive enzymes, poor food combinations, improper eating habits such as eating on the run, yeast infections, or other intestinal infections or improper gut flora. To correct this, everyone with a low phosphorus level needs to take a powerful digestive aid such as ox bile and pancreatin. We use one called GB-3. Another brand that is okay is called Bilex.
Copper toxicity and low phosphorus. Often, a low phosphorus on a hair test indicates hidden or overt copper toxicity. Copper imbalance is associated with yeast overgrowth in the intestines, low digestive enzyme production due to low zinc, improper gut flora and intestinal infections, and even protein destruction due to the effect of copper on other nutrients such as zinc, vitamin C, manganese and others.
An indicator for other toxic metals. A low hair phosphorus may be an indicator for the presence of aluminum, mercury, and perhaps nickel or lead, as well.
TMG may help raise a low hair phosphorus reading. TMG enhances methylation, and this may enhance protein biosynthesis, in some cases.
Elevated hair phosphorus and mental development. A phosphorus level between 17 to about 25 mg% usually indicates a milder form of protein breakdown or catabolism that is associated with mental or spiritual development or pre-development.
This is not a problem, at all. Instead, it signals an unusual change in the body, in my experience. My understanding at this time is that it indicates a breakdown of certain support cells in the brain of adults. The supporting cells, called the glial cells, are replaced by neurons, which are the “thinking cells” of the brain.
This is an exciting change because the end result is a greater brain capacity and thus much better mental functioning. This is a part of the process that is called on this website Mental or Spiritual Development. Thus, a slightly elevated phosphorus is indeed a very positive indicator on a properly performed hair mineral analysis.
Very high phosphorus readings (P > 25 mg%). At times, one will see a hair phosphorus level of 27, 30 or even 40 mg%. If you see this, first rule out the use of pubic hair. Also, rule out certain hair products that contain phosphorus, as these do exist. One that is toxic makes the hair shiny. Usually, these will explain the high reading. It is not necessarily a spiritual development pattern.
SUBSTANCES THAT MAY IMPEDE NORMALIZATION OF THE HAIR PHOSPHORUS READING
Propranolol. This drug is used to lower blood pressure, reduce thyroid activity and to calm the heart. It may interfere with the fiery quality of phosphorus.
CAUSES FOR A LOW HAIR PHOSPHORUS (IMPAIRED PROTEIN SYNTHESIS) INCLUDE:
1. Not enough dietary protein, or perhaps not enough high quality protein such a meat and eggs. For example, living on soy products such as tofu, nuts, seeds or beans can cause this reading as these are all lower quality proteins. Other examples are vegan diets, and vegetarian diets.
2. Incorrect eating habits. These include eating in the car, eating too fast, eating in noisy restaurants, eating when not at peace. Others are eating standing up, eating when upset, not chewing your food thoroughly or eating at your desk while you are working.
3. Possibly eating a less well utilized, incomplete, poorly absorbed, overcooked or spoiled protein food. For example, overcooked meat and all hard-cooked and hard-boiled eggs are harder to digest. Protein powders, no matter how nutritious, should ideally be eaten alone. When they are mixed with fruit, vegetables, water, juice and some vitamins in a blender they are often very bad food combinations that are poorly utilized by the body.
4. Problems in the digestive tract or liver that interfere with the absorption or utilization of amino acids. A common one is a chronic candida albicans infection, for example. Others might be leaky gut syndrome, an inflamed intestinal tract or an irritated bowel due to a parasitic or other infection. These problems are extremely common and plague most people to some degree.
5. Deficiencies of some nutrient or an excess of toxins in the mitochondria that impairs energy production and DNA and RNA synthesis. This is a final step in protein synthesis and a very important one. Many people suffer from what is today called mitochondrial defects for these reasons. Minerals such as zinc and magnesium, among others, are needed in the correct proportions and the correct forms for protein synthesis and energy production.
6. The presence of toxic metals. Examples are too much copper, mercury, or aluminum. The presence of the amigos or irritant forms of minerals may inflict oxidant and other types of damage on proteins in the body.
7. Low hair phosphorus as an indicator for a hidden zinc deficiency. A low hair phosphorus level frequently indicates a need for zinc, or the presence of excess copper in the body, regardless of the hair zinc or copper levels. This was another of Dr. Eck’s brilliant insights about the body and about hair mineral analysis. Zinc is required for several important enzymes involved in protein synthesis such as RNA transferase. Without adequate available zinc, protein synthesis is severely impaired.
Skin, hair and nail problems and phosphorus. If zinc becomes deficient, the body prioritizes its zinc reserves and may reduce the synthesis less essential proteins such as the skin, hair and nails. This is one cause for baldness, skin diseases and “zinc spots”, small whitish spots on the fingernails and toenails.
One can even calculate when stress or another condition reduced the available zinc by the location of the spots relative to the distal end of the fingernails. The fingernails usually grow about one-fourth to one-third of an inch per month. The closer a white spot is to the nail bed, the more recent was the low zinc present.
Impaired protein synthesis due to low zinc or high copper is also why some women develop stretch marks, baldness at times, spider veins, varicose veins, digestive problems and many, many other telltale signs of low zinc. These indicate stress and copper imbalance, at the very least, and may indicate other problems with protein synthesis.
PHOSPHORUS READINGS DURING NUTRITIONAL BALANCING PROGRAMS
Very high hair phosphorus on a retest - a celebration pattern. A sudden increase in hair phosphorus on a retest, but only when a person has followed a nutritional balancing program, is often very positive, even if the level rises to 25 or 30 mg%. It appears to reflect a breaking down and release of old, diseased tissue. The level usually returns to a more normal level on the next retest.
In this regard, tissue breakdown or catabolism is not all bad when it is controlled and is a part of rebuilding or actually remodeling of the body in a more healthful way. This is an important principle of nutritional balancing science that sometimes tissue must break down to be replaced by healthier tissues.
Updating the minerals. A high phosphorus of this type can represent updating the minerals in the body. This is a rather unusual process, as is mental development, that usually never occurs except when one follows a complete nutritional balancing program for several years.
It involves replacing what may be called “older” minerals with “newer” ones that work better. The older ones include toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum. The newer ones include zinc, copper, selenium and silicon. Humanity is moving in the direction of the newer minerals, and away from the older ones which are associated with violence, horror and certain diseases.
Just taking these newer minerals will not accomplish the same thing as following a carefully designed program based on a tissue mineral test and guided by the principles of Dr. Eck as far as how to interpret the hair test and design the program.
“Gathering firewood” pattern. Phosphorus may decrease on a retest if the body eliminates lead, mercury or perhaps some other toxic metal. This occurs commonly during a nutritional balancing program. It is not a problem, at all.
In these cases, toxic metals, especially lead, had been displacing the phosphorus level upwards. As the toxic metal is eliminated from the body, the hair phosphorus decreases to where it should be. This phenomenon is called displacement.
Another possibility is that as certain toxic metals are removed from the body, they may temporarily interfere with protein biosynthesis and cause a lower phosphorus reading. More research is needed on this topic.
”On fire” pattern. This is defined as an increase in the hair phosphorus of 2 mg% or more on a retest. This is an excellent sign, indicating better vitality and improved speed of protein biosynthesis.
“Moving fast” pattern. This is a retest hair analysis pattern when a person is following a nutritional balancing program. It consists of:
1. A hair phosphorus level greater than 16 mg%.
2. An “amigo dump” (elimination of several of the so-called amigos).
3. A double or triple positive “flip” pattern (flips are when a key ratio, or the oxidation rate, or another pattern flips or changes rapidly to become much more positive).
This is a very positive combination of patterns on a hair analysis retest, for which reason it is called the Moving Fast pattern.
PHOSPHORUS SYNERGISTS
Minerals and other substances that are essential for the action of phosphorus include most of the trace minerals and hundreds of other nutrients that are involved in energy production, cell membrane formation, protein synthesis, the nervous system and fluid balance. Calcium is absorbed with phosphorus and is a synergist in bone formation. Magnesium is a synergist in energy production and protein synthesis. Vitamin D assists phosphorus absorption, along with calcium absorption and utilization. B-complex vitamins require phosphorus for their activity, in many cases. As stated above, TMG or trimethylglycine, is often synergistic with phosphorus.
PHOSPHORUS ANTAGONISTS
These substances block or interfere with the action of phosphorus in the body in some manner. Toxic metals such as aluminum and mercury are powerful antagonists for phosphorus on a hair mineral test.
Cortisone therapies, and steroid-containing drugs and medicines such as nasal sprays, pain remedies, cortisone shots and other steroid-containing products. In part, the devastating effects of these common remedies may be their detrimental effect on phosphorus metabolism in the body. This can help explain common side effects of these drugs such as bone loss, cataract formation, thinning of the skin, exhaustion, adrenal damage and others.
As discussed above, propranolol may be antagonistic to phosphorus. More research is needed on this, however.
Sodium and potassium are both synergistic and antagonistic with phosphorus. They are needed to absorb phosphates in the intestines. However, they are also powerful solvents that can lower the calcium and phosphorus in the blood and the tissues in some cases. For example, children have more sodium and potassium in the hair and other tissues than adults. For this reason, children often have lower levels of phosphates in their blood and tissues than adults. However, their hair phosphorus level should be about the same as adults at about 15-17 mg%.
Much more can be written about phosphorus. For more technical information about phosphorus, see the Mineral Reference Guide in the back of the text, Nutritional Balancing And Hair Mineral Analysis.
THE HAIR CALCIUM/PHOSPHORUS RATIO
Some doctors use this ratio to assess the oxidation rate. Dr. Eck rejected this idea completely. It is not accurate enough, and it is too unreliable because it can be influenced by many factors.
It is true that calcium represents stability and sluggishness when it is too high. Meanwhile, the hair phosphorus represents adequate protein synthesis. However, this is not the same as the oxidation rate, which depends upon adrenal and thyroid activity. Dr. Melvin Page, DDS used the Ca/P ratio in the blood serum to assess the sympathetic and parasympathetic balance, but this is entirely different from the hair mineral biopsy concept.
Also, the hair Ca/P ratio can be impacted by several other patterns that will skew the ratio severely. These are:
1. Three highs/four highs pattern. In this case, a person could be in fast oxidation, but the hair Ca/P ratio will indicate slow oxidation. This is common and very confusing if one uses the hair Ca/P to assess the oxidation rate.
2. Four lows pattern. In this case, a person can be in slow oxidation, but the hair Ca/P ratio will often indicate fast oxidation. This is also terribly confusing and not true.
3. Pubic hair samples. If pubic hair is used for testing, which I do not recommend, the phosphorus level is often elevated in these samples. This will skew the hair Ca/P ratio.
For all these reasons, I avoid using the hair Ca/P ratio for assessing the oxidation rate and it is not used in nutritional balancing science at this time (2014).

Phosphorus And The Nerves
We have to remember that the nervous system is two-fold. The one, or conscious portion, consists of the brain and spinal cord, from which all the nerves or branches travel to all parts of the body and give us dominion over them. The other, or subconscious, called the sympathetic nervous system, lies on either side of the front of the spine as two long chains with centres, or ganglia, at intervals. This second system is not within our control and has to do with the regulation of our vegetative functions, including the bulk of the digestive process.
All nerves, whether they come from the brain or from the sympathetic system, ranging to their smallest terminals, are built alike of cells, and these cells secrete a complex fatty substance, called lecithin, whose dominant element is phosphorus. This phosphorus has to be supplied to the body with food, and as food, and it cannot be properly utilised or assimilated by the body or used by the nerves to build up their lecithin unless it is eaten in the form of organic compounds.
The tissues of the body are continually dying, as a result of work done, and are continually being replaced by fresh young tissues as needed. It is the function of the nerves to manage this work for us as well as to similarly arrange for reproduction.
In order to control the functions of the various organs and tissues and to regulate the rate at which they reproduce themselves, the nerves extend their terminal branches, not only into every tissue, but into every microscopical unit of such tissue, and the part of the cell which represents the nerve terminal is the inner structure called the nucleus.
Now it will be obvious that the more the two nervous systems are worked the greater will be their depletion of lecithin and the more need there will be for fresh supplies of phosphorus in the daily food rations.
The person who works hard, whether it be manual labour or brain work, needs food and rest at intervals in order that the nerves may recuperate and replenish their stocks of lecithin.
A goodly proportion of uncooked foods rich in phosphorus must be supplied to make good the wear and tear, and the digestion must equally be efficient if these food-stuffs are to become assimilated.
Cooking of food to a large extent breaks down the organic phosphorus salts and makes them inorganic. In this state they are of but little use to the body. Poor digestion associated with putrefactive fermentation equally converts the organic salts into inorganic ones. These pass into the blood and are promptly eliminated by the kidneys as waste (phosphaturia) and thus they never reach the nerves at all.
We must remember that phosphorus is usually found in natural foods bound up with the proteid and especially with that proteid which has to do with the reproduction of the species. For this reason man instinctively resorts to the use of egg-yolks, and to the various seeds (such as nuts, wheat, barley, etc.) because of their rich phosphorus content.
These proteid-bound phosphorus salts can only be properly utilised when the hydrochloric acid of the stomach juice is well formed, for it converts them into acid salts which are readily absorbed. Therefore to ensure free absorption we must always remember to give the phosphorus-containing foods with such meals as will cause free secretion of the gastric acid.
When fermentation is active and the stomach juices are weakened the germs of the intestines rapidly break up the phosphorus constituents of the proteids and make them inorganic. Therefore the first thing to do when a person is found to be suffering from phosphaturia is to stop the intestinal fermentation by a right diet, clear the bowels of their accumulated waste poisons and give the nerves plenty of rest. Another consideration to bear in mind is that the nerves need fat wherewith to build up the lecithin. An excessive fermentative sourness of the stomach makes the food so acid when sent into the bowels that the bile, pancreatic and other intestinal juices cannot neutralise them, and so the fats themselves are not emulsified and digested, which fully accounts for the mental depression and debility of which these patients complain.
People who are suffering from "nerves" in any form need plenty of pure fat (fresh dairy butter, cream, nut butter, fruit-oils, etc.) and an abundance of natural fresh vegetable products at once rich in phosphorus and iron and in organic alkaline acid-neutralising earthy salts. These arrest fermentation and so enable the phosphorus and the fat to become duly assimilated.

Without forget the following:
Nerve agent
Nerve agents are a class of phosphorus-containing organic chemicals (organophosphates) that disrupt the mechanisms by which nerves transfer messages to organs. The disruption is caused by blocking acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter.
Poisoning by a nerve agent leads to contraction of pupils, profuse salivation, convulsions, involuntary urination and defecation, and death by asphyxiation due to a loss of control of the respiratory muscles. Some nerve agents are readily vaporized or aerosolized, and the primary portal of entry into the body is the respiratory system. Nerve agents can also be absorbed through the skin, requiring that those likely to be subjected to such agents wear a full body suit in addition to a respirator.
Biological effects
As their name suggests, nerve agents attack the nervous system of the human body. All such agents function the same way: by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the breakdown of acetylcholine (ACh) in the synapse. ACh gives the signal for muscles to contract, thus, if it cannot be broken down, muscles are prevented from relaxing.
Initial symptoms following exposure to nerve agents (like sarin) are a runny nose, tightness in the chest, and constriction of the pupils. Soon after, the victim will then have difficulty breathing and will experience nausea and drooling. As the victim continues to lose control of their bodily functions, they will involuntarily salivate, lacrimate, urinate, defecate, and experience gastrointestinal pain and vomiting. Blisters and burning of the eyes and/or lungs may also occur.This phase is followed by initially myoclonic jerks followed by status epilepticus. Death then comes via complete respiratory depression, most likely via the excessive peripheral activity at the neuromuscular junction of the diaphragm.
The effects of nerve agents are long lasting and increase with continued exposure. Survivors of nerve agent poisoning almost invariably suffer chronic neurological damage. This neurological damage can also lead to continuing psychiatric
effects.
Mechanism of action
When a normally functioning motor nerve is stimulated, it releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which transmits the impulse to a muscle or organ. Once the impulse is sent, the enzyme acetylcholinesterase immediately breaks down the acetylcholine in order to allow the muscle or organ to relax.
Nerve agents disrupt the nervous system by inhibiting the function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase by forming a covalent bond where acetylcholine would break down (undergo hydrolysis). Acetylcholine thus builds up and continues to act so that any nerve impulses are continually transmitted and muscle contractions do not stop. This same action also occurs at the gland and organ levels, resulting in uncontrolled drooling, tearing of the eyes (lacrimation) and excess production of mucus from the nose (rhinorrhea).
The structures of the complexes of soman (one of the most toxic nerve agents) with acetylcholinesterase from Torpedo californica have been solved by X-Ray crystallography (PDB codes: 2wfz, 2wg0, 2wg1, and 1som). The mechanism of action of soman could be seen on example of 2wfz
Antidotes
Atropine and related anticholinergic drugs act as antidotes to nerve agent poisoning because they block acetylcholine receptors, but they are poisonous in their own right. (Some synthetic anticholinergics, such as biperiden, may counteract the central symptoms of nerve agent poisoning better than atropine, since they pass the blood–brain barrier better than atropine.) While these drugs will save the life of a person affected with nerve agents, that person may be incapacitated briefly or for an extended period, depending on the amount of exposure. The endpoint of atropine administration is the clearing of bronchial secretions. Atropine for field use by military personnel is often loaded in an autoinjector, for ease of use in stressful conditions.
Pralidoxime chloride, also known as 2-PAM chloride, is also used as an antidote. Rather than counteracting the initial effects of the nerve agent on the nervous system like atropine, pralidoxime chloride reactivates the poisoned enzyme (acetylcholinesterase) by scavenging the phosphoryl group attached on the functional hydroxyl group of the enzyme. Though safer to use, it takes longer to act.
Revival of acetylcholinesterase with pralidoxime chloride works more effectively on nicotinic receptors while blocking acetylcholine receptors with atropine is more effective on muscarinic receptors. Often, severe cases of the poisoning are treated with both drugs.
Countermeasures in development
Butyrylcholinesterase is a prophylactic countermeasure against organophosphate nerve agents. It binds nerve agent in the bloodstream before it can exert effects in the nervous system. Because it is a biological scavenger (and universal target), it is currently the only therapeutic agent effective in providing complete stoichiometric protection against the entire spectrum of organophosphate nerve agents.
Classes
There are two main classes of nerve agents. The members of the two classes share similar properties and are given both a common name (such as sarin) and a two-character NATO identifier (such as GB).
G-series
The G-series is thus named because German scientists first synthesized them. G series agents are known as non-persistent, while the V series are persistent. All of the compounds in this class were discovered and synthesized during or prior to World War II, led by Gerhard Schrader (later under the employment of IG Farben).
This series is the first and oldest family of nerve agents. The first nerve agent ever synthesised was GA (tabun) in 1936. GB (sarin) was discovered next in 1939, followed by GD (soman) in 1944, and finally the more obscure GF (cyclosarin) in 1949. GB was the only G agent that was fielded by the US as a munition, in rockets, aerial bombs, and artillery shells.
V-series
The V-series is the second family of nerve agents and contains five well known members: VE, VG, VM, VR, and VX, along with several more obscure analogues.[10] This class of compounds is also sometimes known as Tammelin's esters, after Lars-Erik Tammelin of the Swedish National Defence Research Institute.
The most studied agent in this family, VX, was invented in the 1950s at Porton Down in the United Kingdom. Ranajit Ghosh, a chemist at the Plant Protection Laboratories of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) was investigating a class of organophosphate compounds (organophosphate esters of substituted aminoethanethiols). Like Schrader, Ghosh found that they were quite effective pesticides. In 1954, ICI put one of them on the market under the trade name Amiton. It was subsequently withdrawn, as it was too toxic for safe use. The toxicity did not go unnoticed and some of the more toxic materials had been sent to the British Armed Forces research facility at Porton Down for evaluation. After the evaluation was complete, several members of this class of compounds became a new group of nerve agents, the V agents (depending on the source, the V stands for Victory, Venomous, or Viscous). The best known of these is probably VX, with VR ("Russian V-gas") coming a close second (Amiton is largely forgotten as VG). All of the V-agents are persistent agents, meaning that these agents do not degrade or wash away easily and can therefore remain on clothes and other surfaces for long periods. In use, this allows the V-agents to be used to blanket terrain to guide or curtail the movement of enemy ground forces. The consistency of these agents is similar to oil; as a result, the contact hazard for V-agents is primarily – but not exclusively – dermal. VX was the only V-series agent that was fielded by the US as a munition, in rockets, artillery shells, airplane spray tanks, and landmines.
Novichok agents
The Novichok (Russian for "newcomer") agents are a series of organophosphate compounds that were developed in the Soviet Union from the mid-1960s to the 1990s. The goal of this program was to develop and manufacture highly deadly chemical weapons that were unknown to the West. These new agents were designed to be undetectable by standard NATO chemical detection equipment and to defeat chemical protective gear.
In addition to the newly developed "third generation" weapons, binary versions of several Soviet agents were developed and were designated as "Novichok" agents.
Insecticides
Some insecticides, including carbamates and organophosphates such as dichlorvos, malathion and parathion, are nerve agents. The metabolism of insects is sufficiently different from mammals that these compounds have little effect on humans and other mammals at proper doses; but there is considerable concern about the effects of long-term exposure to these chemicals by farm workers and animals alike. At high enough doses, acute toxicity and death can occur through the same mechanism as other nerve agents. Organophosphate pesticide poisoning is a major cause of disability in many developing countries and is often the preferred method of suicide.
