How Oxalates Harm
Health food or Health Disaster Part 4 of 10

For a great majority of plants, oxalic acid and oxalate crystals are essential to their growth, survival, and reproduction, and they are also secret weapons in the defensive warfare plants wage to keep from being eaten. Plants use oxalic acid's toxic powers to shun a variety of predators, including infectious fungi, other microorganisms, insects, and other plant-eating animals - including humans.
In an ancient technique, central and southern African hunters harnessed the power of oxalic acid by driving wooden arrowheads into banana tree trunks about 24 hours before the hunt. The oxalic acid in the tree sap is powerful enough to paralyze prey. It's a nerve toxin.

How Oxalates Harm
Health food or Health Disaster Part 3 of 10

Or perhaps you have long-standing injuries or chronic itching, tingling, or pain that never fully resolves. Your doctors can’ help you figure out what is going on; they seem to think you’re “just fine” and should just live with life’s little miseries.

Other seemingly small things can be indicators of oxalate overload, including itchy or dry eyes, eye floaters, excessive tartar on the teeth, tooth sensitivity, frail skin, irritable bladder, UTI infections, frequent urination or cloudy urine. Liver stress from oxalate overload can aggravate chemical sensitivity. Digestive problems like indigestion, reflux, bloating, excessive belching, constipation, and IBS are especially common. Additional symptoms include shortness of breath, sinus problems, yeast infections, and even cold hands and feet.
You don't have to have symptoms to have a disease, and oxalate toxicity is no exception. But a wide spectrum of potential symptoms can occur in the wake of oxalate overload, and each of us will (eventually) suffer from our own unique subset of them if we persist with high-oxalate eating.

Because it is so easy to overeat oxalates, chances are you may already experience occasional oxalate-related aches and pains somewhere in your body.

Do you tend to get a stiff neck? In those of us with dietary oxalate overload, pain, knots, or stiffness in the top of the shoulders or in the upper or lower back are typical. Some people experience chronic or intermittent joint inflammation, gout, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or a more generalized stiffness, often accompanied by a lack of pep.

Even moderate, relatively common levels of oxalate in a habitual diet can fuel the customary aches and pains of life: digestive distress, inflamed joints, chronic skin issues, brain for or mood problems, as well as health declines associated with “normal” aging. And then there are those painful kidney stones. 80% of them are formed from oxalate, much of which comes from the foods we eat.

Chronic inflammation doesn’t “just happen.”
It’s driven by gut damage, diet, stress, insulin resistance, and low oxygen.
Remove the triggers — don’t just silence the symptoms.

Merry Christmas!
We love what we do, and the community we live in. For this Holiday season we would like to say thank you, tell you how much of a blessing that you are, and how much we enjoy getting to know each of you personally. But words on a social media forum will always fall short of our connection with you. We are honored by your trust and encouragement through each of life's struggles both personal and professional, local and world wide. Our reality today is much different than 50 years ago. We know too much about a world of stress while we seem to lose bits of personal joy.
Let's keep our Joy!

So, I want to remind you of something that is true about you. You make a difference! How you feel is your choice, Ildi and I want you to choose to be "Joyful" everyday! As you remember friends, family, childhoods and things that are forever locked in the past, today you can start something new.
A new gift of Joy!
As we interact with others, hesitate before you respond to your loved ones. Take a couple of breaths and remember to; build up, encourage, support and infuse love with your words. Think of them first. Hug others longer than you normally do, don't overstay your welcome, quality over quantity.
You are a blessing,
Bless others.
Our Blessing to each of you! See you next year!
DeWayne & Ildi

Great Eliminator

In Chinese medicine, the large intestine is referred to as the "Great Eliminator" because its sole focus is to move stool out of the body. However, there is a similar function on an emotional and spiritual level: find the gems, the most important nuggets of wisdom and love, and let go of the rest. When we learn to let go appropriately, we find becoming present a much easier task than when we were holding on to too much of our history. Emotional backing up leads to physical backing up and vice versa.

Lung

The Lung is considered to be the internal, yin organ system. It forms a pair with the Large Intestine, which is considered to be the external, yang organ system.

Asthma and allergy sufferers frequently find that they have issues with constipation, due to the "internal-external relationship" between the Lung and Large Intestine.
