Binders and Mobilizing Toxic Metals
When initiating metal detoxification, it is critical to use binders such as PectaSol, zeolite, activated charcoal, and chlorella. As metals begin to mobilize within the body, they still retain a charge that can facilitate reabsorption, posing health risks. Binders ensure these metals are effectively captured and removed from the body, preventing their re-entry into the system. Having utilized binders for over twenty years in mineral balancing, I stress their importance in ensuring a safe and effective detox process during active phases of metal removal.

In the vast landscape of biological elements, zinc stands out as a crucial moderator of essential metabolic and structural functions. This element aids significantly in the stabilization of other vital metals such as copper, iron, and manganese, facilitating crucial electron transfer processes that enhance both catalytic and structural functions at the cellular level. Zinc’s influence permeates through critical areas of health, significantly impacting immune defense mechanisms and cognitive functions. The growing depletion of zinc in our soils underscores the urgency of addressing this deficiency, which can severely compromise health and disease resistance. Carbonic anhydrase, a zinc-dependent enzyme, exemplifies zinc’s vital role. This enzyme is essential for converting carbon dioxide into carbonic acid, a crucial process for managing CO2 levels in the bloodstream to prevent lethal pH imbalances. This enzyme's activity is critical in the kidneys, where it contributes to the bicarbonate buffering system that regulates the body's pH balance. Zinc's involvement in carbon dioxide management highlights its indispensable role in maintaining respiratory health and overall metabolic stability. Zinc’s role extends beyond mere participation in biological processes as it is fundamental in ensuring the seamless operation of life’s most essential functions.

Mineral Balancing & Homeopathic Remedies | Dr. Robert Selig
The intricate role of homeopathy in facilitating mineral balancing is often overlooked, yet it is crucial to holistic health. This therapeutic approach addresses both physical and emotional challenges that often emerge during the healing process. Conditions like dormant skin issues or deep-seated emotional retraces are common and require nuanced treatment strategies. Homeopathic remedies are instrumental in these scenarios, leveraging the principle of 'like cures like' to find precise, energy-based solutions tailored to individual needs. This method not only aids in mitigating physical manifestations, such as sudden skin aggravations, but also supports emotional stability during treatment. Homeopathy also supports organ health, particularly the liver, which can be impacted by dietary excesses or lifestyle factors. Tune in to my detailed conversation with holistic healing advocate and fellow mineral balancing practitioner Matt Coffman on his podcast, Integrative Thoughts, as we discuss this topic and much more. https://vist.ly/3eyu7 Dr. Robert Selig BackToNaturalHealth.com

The Profound Role of Lithium in Human Health | Dr. Robert Selig D.C. - Back To Natural Health
Let’s delve into the fascinating world of lithium and its role in mineral balancing. Many of you have asked about its incorporation and my thoughts on this essential element. Lithium stands as one of the most captivating minerals within the entire mineral matrix. Originating from the Big Bang, lithium, hydrogen, and helium form the foundational trinity of our universe. Lithium, being the first solid metal, is crucial for the development of the human brain, making it an indispensable building block. What sets lithium apart is its unique bidirectional spin, possessing both right-hand and left-hand rotations. This characteristic plays a pivotal role in connecting the brain's hemispheres, fostering a holistic, holographic function. Lithium, often referred to as the “God of water," is associated with Neptune, the ruler of emotions and the furthest planet from the sun, embodying higher divination. Most lithium in the brain is concentrated in the hippocampus, vital for neuroplasticity and overall brain health. This concentration is essential for the brain's ability to form and expand neural connections, enhancing our sense of well-being. Interestingly, the name ‘hippocampus' and function tie back to the mythological sea creature ridden by Neptune, reflecting lithium's deep-seated connection to emotion and memory. Lithium's ability to transmute rapidly into elements like sodium and potassium makes it difficult to measure in the body. This property aligns with the principles of alchemy, transforming matter into spirit and vice versa, as explored by Professor Louis Kervran in his studies on biological transmutation. Historically, lithium was even added to the soft drink 7 Up, providing a calming, ethereal effect distinct from the adrenaline-fueled buzz of other sodas. Pharmaceutical uses of lithium are widespread, particularly in managing bipolar disorder and depression, by stabilizing the hippocampus and limbic system. Lithium’s influence extends beyon

The Copper Paradox: Copper Overload & Copper Deficiency
Copper is crucial for health, yet it can become toxic if not properly bound. This critical balance hinges on copper’s state within the body. In a situation of copper overload, excess copper is unbound and acts like a free radical, causing damage. This unbound copper cannot be used by the body, leading to a paradoxical deficiency despite its abundance. Thus unfolds the Copper Paradox: a surplus of copper that simultaneously triggers a deficiency, underscoring the importance of maintaining strict control over this essential nutrient mineral. This dual nature of copper highlights the essential balance required in its management for optimal health benefits.

Zinc Deficiency: 98% Of The World Silently Afflicted
The World Health Organization has stated that one-third of the world's population is severely deficient in zinc. I assert that 98% of people globally suffer from a marginal, subtle zinc deficiency, which standard lab tests today fail to detect. However, through serial hair tissue mineral analysis, we can uncover this zinc deficiency over time, particularly in adults. Adults, often poor eliminators, struggle to remove toxic metals from their bodies, taking anywhere from one to seven years to effectively mobilize these metals. As mercury and other toxic metals are expelled, the zinc levels in hair tests, typically appearing within optimal ranges and providing a false sense of security, will start to reflect the real deficiency. Once these toxic metals are removed, zinc reclaims its crucial role in enzyme binding sites, confirming my initial claim of widespread, subtle zinc deficiencies among the population.

The War On Zinc & The Enemies Of Zinc | The Zinc Crisis (A World Without Zinc Pt. 2) Dr. Robert Selig
Most of the world today is walking around with marginal subtle zinc deficiencies—and the zinc deficiencies are never detected on your typical lab tests. When we use serial hair tissue mineral analysis, over time they will reveal the zinc deficiency. Most adults today are in a sympathetic dominant pattern, which means they will never detox, and this is indicated on the lab tests of most of my patients. Most adults are poor eliminators, so they retain toxic metals instead of eliminating them. Why? Most adults in our population have kidney congestion which means the microtubules in the kidneys are showing signs of fibrosis. Meanwhile the liver is also becoming stagnant and fatty, as this is seen as fibrosis in billiary canaliculi. When the two main organs of detoxification are compromised, you will not be detoxifying anything, especially toxic metals. To mobilize toxic metals, you need adrenal reserves, you need to be in parasympathetic mode, and you need nutrient minerals to support the liver, the kidneys, and the adrenals. Most of us are walking around as poor eliminators retaining toxic metals. It may take anywhere between 1 year to 7 years to start mobilizing these toxic metals, revealing the zinc deficiency. THERE IS A WAR ON ZINC. The most common deficient mineral in soil is ZINC. Even if you are eating a very zinc-rich diet, you are lucky if even 10% of the zinc will be absorbed. In order for zinc to be absorbed, you have to have stomach acid, you have to have the pancreas pumping out pancreatic juices, and you have to have bile. If you don’t have these 3 things working, you will not absorb zinc. This is most of the adult population today. Chemicals like glyphosate and atrazine will chelate zinc. Toxic metals will chelate zinc. A diet consisting of phytates, oxalates, and high fiber will prevent the absorption of zinc from the food. Pharmaceutical drugs like diuretics will chelate zinc. Coffee, tea, alcohol will chelate zinc. Emot

Understanding The Role Of Calcium In The Body
Calcium is essential for the proper function of our bodies, including muscle contraction and hormone release. Here's more about how it works: Calcium and Muscle Contractions: Calcium ions are required for muscle cells to contract. When an action potential (a signal that initiates the contraction) reaches a muscle cell, it stimulates the release of calcium ions stored within the cell. These calcium ions bind to proteins within the muscle fiber, triggering a series of events that lead to the sliding of protein filaments within the muscle cell. This sliding generates the contraction. Calcium and Hormone Release: Calcium also plays a critical role in the release of hormones, like insulin. This happens in a process known as exocytosis, where the cell expels waste or delivers an output – such as insulin. This is triggered by an influx of calcium ions which prompts the vesicles (small sacs within the cell) containing insulin to fuse with the cell membrane and secrete insulin into the bloodstream. Without an adequate supply of calcium, these processes would not occur properly. This is why it's essential that we incorporate a sufficient amount of calcium in our diets. It's not just about bone health; our muscles and hormones also depend on this crucial element.

Carbonic Anhydrase | The #1 Zinc-Dependent Metalloenzyme
Watch this short video to learn more about my favorite zinc-dependent metalloenzyme—Carbonic Anhydrase—which gives us carbonic acid and much more. —Dr. Robert Selig *HIGHLIGHTS* Carbonic anhydrase balances out hydrogen, bicarb, and carbon dioxide in the body by allowing carbon dioxide to transform into carbonic acid in the blood stream which removes the carbon dioxide from all the tissues of your body. Zinc is your “alkaline mineral” because of this process. Carbonic acid finds its way to the stomach and leaves you with bicarb and a hydrogen ion. The bicarb goes back into the blood in exchange for chloride and this gives you the great hydrochloric acid—your first line of defense which allows you to absorb calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. Carbonic acid makes its way out of the lungs as carbon dioxide & H20 gas that becomes food for plants and trees. Learn more about our practice at BackToNaturalHealth.com!
