I found a full ARL report which was like 50 pages, packed full of info. Heres my notes:
Oxidation Rate
Slow Oxidation:
A slow oxidiser is an individual who metabolises food at a rate slower than that required for the production of optimal energy levels to adequately perform basic body functions. They often experience some degree of fatigue, lack of energy, sugar cravings, low blood sugar levels, constipation, weight gain, dry skin and depression.
Fast oxidation:
An individual who metabolises food at a rate faster than ideally required for the production of optimal energy levels to adequately perform basic body functions. It results in higher energy levels, but the energy generated is temporary and is dissipated rather quickly. Often experience some degree of anxiety, irritability, elevated blood sugar levels, elevated blood pressure, oily skin and a tendency for frequent bowel movements.
As a fast oxidiser. the most important dietary principals are:
-Eat at least one high fat containing food with every meal. Choose from dairy fats, nut and seeds butters, avocadoes and fatty meats (pork, lamb, duck, beef)
-Eat moderate amounts of protein, including organ meats, dairy products, shellfish and the small fish such as herring, sardines and anchovies.
-Reduce carbs (starches sugars, fruit sugars) to a minimum for maximum metabolism. Whole wheat, whole ry,e oats are high in phytates which interfere with calcium, magnesium and zinc absorption in the intestine.
Protein Synthesis:
Adequate protein synthesis is vitally important for the regeneration of all body tissues. This requires proper digestion, absorption and utilization of proteins. Protein synthesis is influences by the amount and type of protein consumed in the diet and by ones eating habits.
-An elevated phosphorus level is indicative of rapid protein breakdown while a low phosphorus level indicates inadequate protein synthesis
-The mineral zinc must be singled out as particularly important for protein synthesis. it is required for the enzyme RNA transferase, a key step in protein synthesis
-A low sodium/portassium ratio reveals significant information regarding the individuals capability of utilizing protein. The lower the sodium potassium ratio, the less protein can be synthesized.
Digestion:
Excellent digestion is a key to improving ones health. If digestion is impaired, even the best diet will not supply the body with needed nutrients. Additionally, improperly digested food will ferment or putrefy in the intestines and produce extremely toxic chemicals that are then absorbed into the body. Proper digestion depends on ones diet, eating habits, energy levels, digestive enzymes, bowel flora, and the condition of the intestines.
-Phosphorus levels are highly indicative of ones ability to synthesize protein. the inability to synthesize protein frequently results in impaired digestion.
-A low sodium potassium ratio is indicative of an excessive stress situation, which will eventuated in a reduction in both hydrochloric acid and pancreatic digesting enzymes.
-Extreme fast oxidation pattern is often associated with a tendency for exessivestomach acid secretion when under stress. This can reuslt in poor digestion to some degree.
-Zinc is requied for all digestive enzyme production. It is also required to rebuild the fast growing intestinal tissue, and for the production of bile and liver and pancreatic secretions.
-Excessive tissue copper can result in poor digestion and poor motility of the bowel, hence resulting in food putrefaction in gas and bloating often associated with poor digestion.
Immune system Activity:
-A low sodium/potassium ratio results in an impaired immune system response, due to ones inability to adequately synthesize protein.
-A very high sodium/potassium ratio may ndicate kidney stress and an imbalanced immune system. A high ratio may indicate autoimmune problems, or an overactive immune system. Rheumatoid arthritis, hashimotos thyroiditis and lupus are examples of autoimmune diseases.
-A zinc deficiency, or loss, will impair immune system function. Zinc is involved in all protein synthesis and is required for the integrity of the skin and mucus membranes of the body, which are criticial tissues in defending against infection.
-Chronic over-activity of the adrenal glands in the "Fast" oxidiser has a suppressive effect upon the thymus gland, thus impairing immune system function.
-A copper imbalance often indicates impaired immune system function. Copper is required for energy production within the cells and mobilization of copper from the liver which is part of the normal infection-fighting mechanism of the body. The mineral itself is a fungicide and an anti-bacterial.
-A low tissue zinc/copper ratio is frequently associated with an immune deficiency, due to excessive tissue copper displacing zinc, which is necessary for immune system function.
Inflammation:
-An elevated sodium potassium ratio is an excellent indication of the predominance of pro-inflammatory hormones
-A low sodium potassium ratio is an excellent indicatior of excessive protein catabolism (breakdown) which is frequently associated with an inflammatory condition such as arthritis, Degredation of the joints causes inflammation and joint pain.
-A magnesium deficiency relative to a high sodium level is often associated with an inflammatory process.
-Acute stress as indicated by high sodium and potassium levels, can result in an inflammatory reaction.
-A low potassium level repressents inadequate glucocorticoid (antiinflammatory) activity, which often contributes to an inflammatory tendency.
-Copper in excess can result in a suppression of anti-inflammatory hormones. A deficiency of anti-inflammatory hormones is responsible for an inflammatory process
-Excess iron is known to deposit in the joints, resulting in an inflammation of the joints
Random mineral info:
-Magnesium tends to follow calcium up and down
-Low copper levels may contribute to low calcium and magnesium levels relative to sodium and potassium levels, connective tissue problems and hormonal imbalances. Other symptoms may include anxiety, irritability, fatigue and allergies.
-Manganese is essential for energy production, maintaining glucose metabolism, maintaining tendon and ligament integrity and is essnetial for bone development. If low, usually associated with a manganese deficiency in the diet.
