HTMA: Stress Levels

Johnny Delirious • March 6, 2022

Stress levels whether acute or chronic are shown in the sub-categories of the metabolic types. Developed by Hans Selye, these are the alarm, resistance, recovery and exhaustion stages. The HTMA will show the metabolic typing and indicate these different degrees of stress making it easier to determine and utilize specific therapy to work with. Within these categories we are using nutritional support (both with food and supplementation) that helps lower stress and working in harmony with the body. The following is a brief:

Fast Metabolism - Sympathetic Dominance


This is linked to excessive sympathetic nervous activity. Some dominant features are seen as Fast Oxidation and the Type A personality. This condition increases the availability of glucose for rapid metabolism via epinephrine release from the adrenal medulla. This stimulates other areas of the body and can increase the metabolic rate as much as 100%.


Very often the fast metabolizer will not complete the Krebs cycle in cell respiration and many times remain in the state of glycolysis. High tissue acidity and low pancreatic enzyme have also been noted. Both physical and emotional stress is observed and seen with elevated blood pressure and excessive perspiration, like sweaty hands.


Fast Metabolism Type 1

Increased adrenal activity and thyroid function - increased energy levels. Could experience alarm, resistance or recovery stages of stress.


Fast Metabolism Type 2

Increased adrenal cortical activity and lowered thyroid function. Dramatic energy fluctuations, mood swings.


Fast Metabolism Type 3

Decreased adrenal cortical activity with increased thyroid function

Resistance or exhaustive stage of stress, if chronic it can result in depression, irritability


Fast Metabolism Type 4

Decreased adrenal activity and decrease thyroid glandular function. Exhaustive stage, extreme fatigue, depression and anxiety.

Slow Metabolism - Para-Sympathetic Dominance


Glucose is metabolized at a reduced rate, coupled with Slow Oxidation. This Type B personality can run the risk of normal energy levels becoming inadequate. This is a result of the inability to split glucose to form adequate amounts of pyruvates and oxaloacetic acid in the glucose cycle; and this leads to the inability to produce citric acid in the Krebs cycle. Low HCL and tissue alkalinity is a prominent occurrence.


Many slow metabolizers are very methodical, seen as perfectionists who will start projects and see them through to completion. If over extended with scheduling and as work pressure builds, stress is their worst enemy, fatigue and depression will follow.


Slow Metabolism Type 1

Decreased adrenal medullary activity and decreased thyroid function Can experience any one of the four stages of stress.


Slow Metabolism Type 2

Increased adrenal cortical activity and decreased thyroid function Alarm stage of stress. mood swings


Slow Metabolism Type 3

Decreased adrenal cortical activity and increased thyroid function Resistance or exhaustion stages of stress – depression or irritability


Slow Metabolism Type 4

High adrenal activity in conjunction with elevated thyroid function. Acute alarm stage that has progressed into the resistance stage.


The periodic table of the elements is shown on a white background

Have you ever looked at the Periodic Table of Elements? These elements make up everything in the universe! Everything; including us. In fact, we are the microcosm of the macrocosm. In Biblical terms, we are made in God’s image. In chemistry, we are composed mostly of about 40 elements on the Periodic Table. Our make up is essentially the combination of elements made flesh, with the spark of spirit that gives us life.

 

In the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), the biological activity of 37 Elements is measured. They are: 15 important Nutritional Elements, 8 Toxic Heavy Metals, 14 Trace Elements. With the information of the HTMA, we now know what is available and being used in the body or what is lacking. Health begins to deteriorate when cell metabolism does not have the right foods and elements it needs. A mineral imbalance follows. Over time, function goes down and structure begins to lose its integrity. With the right foods and a balance of elements on a daily basis the body’s cells will repair and reverse aging.

 

The HTMA will show:

  • How to avoid disease states
  • Any toxic or heavy metal overload
  • A complete profile of 37 different elements
  • The correct diet schedule based on your biochemistry

Decoding Detox: Safe and Effective Naturopathic Strategy for Toxin Elimination

By Johnny Delirious • October 10, 2025
Yes, deep tissue detoxification usually happens when you do sweat baths at a spa and get lymphatic drainage massage. But if that is not an option for you, the HTMA diet and supplement schedule, is the most effective way to detox the body that very few of the many health experts realize. For over four decades of reviewing HTMA results with patients the most unexpected outcome is the toxicity reaction from heavy metals coming into the blood stream that occurs when following the diet and supplement schedule. The program helps get the right minerals into the body's cells and then they are getting what they need and in rapid fashion they start cleaning house; that is dumping out all of their toxins. The intensive detox is imminent when all of your fifty trillion cells do this simultaneously. The result is your bloodstream is inundated with an intense toxic burden that causes discomfort. Now it would be good to review some back ground on this profound phenomena and why the HTMA is so important. The US Environmental Protection Agency, in a review of over 400 studies in 1979, found hair analysis to be a reliable indicator for the presence of many of the toxic metals. Hair gives a record of the body;s exposure over time and the metals are easy to detect and measure accurately in the hair tissue. However , hair testing only reveals what is in the hair, not the entire body load. The only way to measure the entire body load of a metal would be to biopsy every organ and tissue. This is of course impossible so the next best indicator is the mineral assay showing the metals in the hair. To be clear, hair is not a target tissue for toxic metals, but it is a tissue made of cells by the body's hair follicle and this record gives us a congruent correlation about the activity of the minerals in all of our cells. Included in the reports is the diet and supplement schedule to follow and in most cases the cells get stronger and will rapidly damp toxins. However this is not always the case. Reasons why some toxic metals may not be eliminated fast is due to several factors: If the metabolic or oxidation rate is slow, the body has less ability to eliminate toxic metals. They remain sequestered in other tissues and organs and will not show up in the hair. For this reason, those with a faster rate of metabolism, or fast oxidizers, often test with higher hair levels of toxic metals. They are not necessarily more toxins in these individuals, but they will eliminate metals quicker because of their fast metabolism. In all cases a nutritional balancing program is required to promote the elimination of the toxic metals and promote natural detoxification. The dietary and supplement program not only enhances the oxidation rate, but provides toxic metal antagonists, chelating agents and enhances the activities of the eliminative organs of the body. These measures greatly assist the body in eliminating the toxic metals, causing them to be revealed on hair analysis tests as they are being eliminated. These programs support the biochemical balance of the body and are quite different from simply giving powerful chelating agents or other methods that may unbalance body chemistry. Even with these measures, toxic metals stored deep within the tissues can take years before the body is able to eliminate them. For example, a patient smoked during her pregnancy and when she was a child. Cigarettes are a source of cadmium toxicity. However, it took about eight years on a nutritional balancing program before cadmium ever registered on his hair analyses. The same phenomenon can occur with mercury, arsenic and the other toxic metals. Once the HTMA is followed lymphatic drainage massage can help the body speed up the release of heavy metal toxins out of the body.
