INFLAMMATION
Inflammation is the body’s normal reaction to an injury, disease, or the presence of a foreign substance. It is generally recognized by swelling, redness, heat, or possibly pain. Addressing the cause can reduce or terminate inflammation. If it is ignored, it can becomes a chronic disease. All diseases start with inflammation. Acute inflammation generally causes an increase in adrenal activity and a rise in the secretion of the hormone aldosterone ((sodium). Aldosterone is a pro-inflammatory hormone. Cortisol and cortisone (potassium) are anti- inflammatory hormones. The pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory hormones need to be in balance with each other for optimum health.
SYMPTOMS DENOTE IMBALANCES
Grey hair, a symptom of chronic fatigue and exhaustion, may indicate the chemical imbalance and involve too much calcium and zinc in the soft tissues and not enough manganese and iron.
Poor hair growth and hair loss are symptoms of a sodium/potassium inversion, which creates protein catabolism (breakdown), and sensitivity to the ingestion of sugar and simple carbohydrates.
High levels of copper and iron in the body tissue can cause migraine headaches as well as schizophrenia.
Mercury toxicity is linked to thyroid and adrenal gland dysfunction, kidney damage, hearing and vision loss, and birth defects.
Chromium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and vitamin B6 deficiencies are related to diabetes. Obesity is frequently caused by chronic blood sugar problems. Chromium and zinc helps to regulate blood sugar levels. Obesity is frequently caused by chronic blood sugar problems. A zinc deficiency can diminish the sense of smell and taste. It can also retard bone development and produce malformed sex organs.
Lead or copper poisoning as well as zinc deficiency can cause acne.
Doctors often diagnose heart attacks by the amount of the mineral manganese in the body. Vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin E, zinc, and chromium are important for women who take birth control pills.
A magnesium deficiency is related to epilepsy, leukemia, heart disease, and kidney disorders. Beryllium, lead, cadmium, nickel, copper, and arsenic poisoning can cause cancer.
Many of the problems associated with manic depression can be alleviated with lithium, magnesium, iodine, EFA’s in balance, and full spectrum light/sunshine.
Lead toxicity is linked to brain damage, lower I.Q., depression, behavioral problems, and multiple sclerosis.
Fluoride leaches lead out of pipes, which exacerbates the problem of lead toxicity. It also blocks the uptake and production of iodine in the thyroid gland. Adding it to water supplies is reckless and defies all logic. Birth defects, lower I.Q., obesity, depression, heart disease, bone loss, osteoarthritis, joint and bone pain, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, and some types of cancer are symptoms of iodine deficiency.
