Research

”Mineral imbalance in drinking water and hair, connections to health”, 1997-99, supervisor; Prof. Bengt Nihlgård, Dep. of Plant Ecology, Lund University. The study was enlarged with another 35 well waters and women in acid areas in Hässleholm and Härryda municipalities in year 2000. The same year I was registered as PhD student at the dep. of Occupational and Environmental medicine, Lund University Hospital, supervisor; Ass. Prof. Lars Gerhardsson.

From 2000 to 2003 I studied nutrient balancing of people and graduated as nutrient therapist in 2003 at Alfa Hälsocenter, Stockholm. The same year I was certificated as hair nutrient analyst (Alfa Hälsocenter, Stockholm). In the summer 2000, 20 water and hair samples of patients with Parkinson’s disease and 10 healthy referents were collected in Norway (Rosborg 2001, Tender og Helse). In 2001 blood, urine, hair and drinking water of women with Fibromyalgia and healthy referents were collected. The study was reported in 2004.

In 2001 20 municipal waters were collected 4 times during the autumn, untreated and treated.

In the same way, about 50 bottled waters were collected and analyzed on about the same elements and ions as all other water, hair, blood and urine samples. In 2006 vegetables cultivated by women who had been participating in the study 1997 (acid and alkaline well waters and hair) were collected and analyzed on about the same elements and ions.

2012-2014 EU-project: Development of Novel Drinking Water Purification Systems using modified Chitosan. Role in the project: Evaluating minerals and mineral balance after treatment of drinking water with modified Chitosan. 2014-, RO water and health on Möja Island in the Stockholm archipelago (investigation of changes in hair minerals and health after changing from well water to re-mineralized RO water), 2012-, different Drinking water projects at the Development Center for Water in Norrtälje, Sweden, a) Initiator and presenter at the course: Drinking water techniques –from ground water to healthy drinking water (Dricksvattenteknik - från grundvatten till hälsosamt kranvatten), 7,5 hp, KTH (Land and Water Resources Engineering) in cooperation with Campus Roslagen, and Development Center for Water, Norrtälje, 9-13 June, 2014. Responsible for the drinking water part in the pre-study before establishing a Demotest Arkipelag.  – test beds for Water technics.
