So, awesome ND student Kayla Falkner was hanging out with me today, learning about hair mineral analysis some more. I asked her to throw out a condition shed been working with recently, to show her how I search PubMed for the connections that nearly any disease has to the minerals. She threw out lymphoma. Heres some of what we found: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11342338 In conclusion, regarding the results of our study and previous data in the literature ***chronic magnesium and zinc deficiency*** seems to be associated with the development of ALL and malignant lymphoma in a group of patients. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20155631 ***Chronic Zn and Se deficiencies*** (low plasma and low hair Zn and Se levels together) were found to be associated with ML [malignant lymphoma] in Turkish children. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17762491 In this study, we found that ***hair Se levels*** of the children with leukemia and lymphoma, especially those of malnourished patients, ***were lower than those of controls.*** ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22697504 Increasing vitamin D intake from food and supplements was positively associated with NHL [non-Hodgkins lymphoma] risk in men and with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in women and men; that was largely due to the effect in men. [I want to make sure you catch this one...more Vitamin D from FOOD and SUPPLEMENTS was associated with MORE risk of the lymphomas mentioned!] ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8850142 ***Cu/Zn ratio*** is significantly higher in patients with lymphoma or acute and chronic leukemias compared to gender- and age-matched control subjects. [this suggests a trend toward higher copper and lower zinc levels] ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6800204 Our data indicate that ***serum copper levels and the copper/zinc ratio*** might be indicators for disease activity in children with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6994869 In all malignant lymphoma patients, a ***significantly higher serum copper level*** was established. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12805335 ***Serum selenium concentration*** at presentation is a prognostic factor, predicting positively for dose delivery, treatment response, and long-term survival in aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Unlike most existing prognostic factors in aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma, selenium supplementation may offer a novel therapeutic strategy in this frequently curable malignancy. I can only hope that with the links above, it is quite obvious that mineral deficiencies/excesses/imbalances play major roles in lymphoma. We try to learn the trends from the research that is out there, and then...we test, we dont guess. Also, you should know that the changes seen in the serum (aka blood tests) shown in the above studies would tend to show up even earlier on hair mineral analysis.
