Every second, there are 37 billion billion reactions (you read that right) happening inside our bodies. Each one needs enzymes to occur, and enzymes need nutrients like minerals to do their part of the job.
Big picture, that means minerals have an enormous impact on our health. But we’re seeing an epidemic of mineral deficiencies, in an age of overnutrition with starch and sugar and undernutrition of essential nutrients. Even small amounts of insufficiency can lead to big problems.
Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to connect with Dr. James DiNicolantonio to look at the increasing issue of mineral deficiencies, how we got here, and what we can do to consciously consume more minerals.
Dr. DiNicolantonio is a Doctor of Pharmacy and a cardiovascular research scientist. A well-respected and internationally known scientist and an expert on health and nutrition, he has contributed extensively to health policy and has testified in front of the Canadian Senate regarding the harms of added sugars.
He serves as the associate editor of the British Medical Journal’s Open Heart, a journal published in partnership with the British Cardiovascular Society, and is on the editorial advisory boards of several other medical journals. Dr. DiNicolantonio is the author or coauthor of over 250 publications in the medical literature. He also is the author of five bestselling health books, The Salt Fix, Superfuel, The Longevity Solution, The Immunity Fix and The Mineral Fix.

What is safe range of copper and other depleted vitamins and minerals for women pre/post menopause
This is God sent. I was just telling somebody that the majority of problems come from nutrient deficiencies.

I’d appreciate if you could make a video in which you explain if there is any connection between oral sex and autoimmune deseases. I’m wondering if that could be a trigger of an autoimmune desease.
Yes you can definitely get C-Diff colitis very deadly

When evaluating the status of a nutrient mineral one must take into account the anti-nutrient concept. For example, Zinc is in the same column on the periodic table as cadmium and mercury so the heavier metals will displace the nutrient mineral zinc. In fact one molecule of mercury can displace thousands of ions of zinc. The only true test to really assess the nutrients is serial hair tissue mineral analysis which in my mind is the gold standard and the most important test to assess the minerals and the toxic elements. Also the anti-nutrient is when a mineral nutrient becomes oxidized then you have the oxidized version of a nutrient mineral that behaves like a toxic metals such as copper and iron that can wreak havoc on our chemistry. Bio unavailable copper seems to be the most problematic metal when copper is unbound single and free then it behaves like the toxic metal won one hand, while causing copper deficiency on the other hand, leaving us with a double whammy. Then there are the ion channels where most of the problems are happening as mercury will change the 3D channel proteins in which these ion channels become disrupted and mercury can block potassium like no other. Minerals truly are the spark plugs of life, not only do they give us reference to cosmology biology but also our psychology and physiology we truly are made up of star stuff.
