This is in reference to the many people I see that either overload themselves with expensive vitamins or feel confused as to what vitamins and minerals to take...

This blog is about deficiencies- in particular, zinc which appears to be quite common. My children and I all had a rather severe zinc/mag deficiency-we also had aluminum poisoning that was off the charts. You will find mineral deficiencies go hand and hand with heavy metal poisoning. This leads one to believe that one must A) chelate for the rest of their lives or B) taking extra mineral supplementation will be the answer to making sure that the person does not absorb heavy metals anymore. This issue is very complex, but one that I will try to simplify as best as I can. Let's look at a common protagnist-the Zinc deficiency/aluminum poisoning/alzheimers combination profile.

In regards to zinc not everyone has a zinc deficiency, if you have one there are two ways to find out. The first is through a hair or blood test and the second is to evaluate the physical symptoms that the person is presenting. Sometimes zinc deficiency is easy to see-ADD like symptoms, inability to focus, wandering mind, and white spots in the nails. A zinc deficiency will cause someone to hold aluminum, the body grabs onto aluminum as an attempt to balance itself. Aluminum is linked to dementia and alzheimers disease. We can already see that whether you have aluminum poisoning or zinc deficiency that the results are the same. I propose that the zinc deficiency comes first and then the person manifests years of aluminum build up culminating in brain poisoning with symptoms of alzheimers and forgettfulness, shakiness, as in Parkinsons disease. With that being said, the natural next step would be to supplement with zinc for the rest of your life-sounds like a good safe guard, and I wouldn't discourage it. But the perplexity of vitamin and mineral supplementation is not quite that easy.

Most often the problem with mineral deficiency lies in the metabolization of the vitamins and minerals and not exactly in inefficient supplementation. For instance, a child with a lot of zinc in their hair may not be assimilating it within the blood and therfore excretes it via the kidneys and hair...like wise, the same could be said too little zinc in the hair and blood. In my naturopathic practice I use a variety of methods to change metabolization/assimilation at an infitissimal level with a variety of methods. I describe different ways to change imbalanced metabolism.

First of all the physical body does well with prana/chi building exercise like yoga, pranyama-breathing exercises...these are all apart of the Aurore Yoga that I invented, I use the pranayama and orgone breathes to release blocked emotions and "energy cysts" as Upledger would call them. In turn, this stimulates a free flow of energy throughout the body. Please see my book "Beyond Natural Cures" and look for my video on Aurore Yoga next year.

Secondly, For metabolization, I use a variety of constitutional homeopathy- chromatherapy, sound therapy, flower essences, and craniosacral. This is apart of my Aurore Method of Healing and what happens is that there becomes a powerful stimulation of core healing mechanism within the body. This is a process that may take 1 month to a year- but the object is to put the body in balance-your body can and will heal itself, and is always seeking a way to balance itself. I often recommend to my clients the chi machine and it's regular use. What an amazing machine for a small investment. I will blog about this machine specifically at a later time.

Give your body the tools to heal itself, and PLEASE don't get stuck in the endless cycle of buying expensive vitamins, minerals and herbs to live- Don't get fooled our tricked by these "nutraceutical companies" that are not much different than phamaceutical companies as far as I am concerned. They expect you to believe that your body is weak and broken and that you need to be dependent on "them" for the rest of your life to be happy and healthy. This is a sickening trick to play on our American population. They are playing on a debilitated belief system that we all have been taught since childhood-but let's move on from this broken communistic thought and move on to a greater ability to heal ourselves-using "them" only as a catalyst for healing and not the end all of healing in and of itself.

YOU CAN HEAL YOURSELF!! This is all apart of the Truth Healing that I practice.

Happy healing to All of you, Dear Friends!!!
