The Role of Oxalates in Chronic Pain, Accumulation of Heavy Metals, Mold Toxicity and Autism

Are you interested in helping your clients who have pain? Are you interested in diet and lifestyle as the basis for longevity?

Did you know that:

Dietary oxalates can cause depletion of calcium, magnesium and necessary trace minerals.
Elevated oxalate levels are associated with autism.
Oxalates can contribute to joint pain, chronic urinary symptoms, kidney stones and may be aggravating factors in inflammatory bowel disease.

Class Description: Plants make oxalates to protect themselves and several “healthy foods,” such as beets, spinach and tea are high in oxalates. Oxalates can be aggravating to certain health conditions. We will discuss which foods have high oxalate content, the medical pathophysiology of what can occur with oxalate accumulation and why physicians and diagnostic tests might fail to identify oxalates as a medical issue. We will discuss Chinese Medicine energetics and diagnostic patterns and how oxalates might disrupt the flow of qi within the meridians. We will also discuss the energetics of the goddess Hygiea and her relationship to preventative health, as well as astrological planetary and Zodiacal considerations.
