What Causes Kidney Stones?

10 November 2023

Kidney stones accumulate very slowly over time and can start building as early as childhood.  They are caused by pesticides in food, chlorinated water, alcohol, narcotic drugs, pharmaceuticals including antibiotics, excessive intake of certain low grade vitamin and mineral supplements, (particularly calcium carbonate), coffee and tea, excessive consumption of red meat, low fat foods, genetically engineered food, carbonated beverages, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame (a carcinogen), chocolate and sweets, refined sugar, tobacco, food additives and heavy metals.  

Iodine – Thyroid & Brain Function

21 September 2023

Iodine is an essential mineral for the normal growth and development of the brain.  TSH released by the pituitary gland in the brain stimulates the thyroid gland in the neck to product T4, and T4, needs to convert to T3.  It is T3 that gets us out of bed in the morning, not T4.   And iodine is one of the key essential factors needed for this conversion to take place.  Without it we experience lethargy, low mood, weight gain and brain fog as well as slowed thinking speed.  In young children there is a rise in autism and behavioural difficulties.  90-95% of children I see with these issues are iodine, zinc and magnesium deficient.
