4 Dimensions of Nutritional Deficiencies
- Direct: Lack of input
- Indirect: Lack of utilization from missing cofactor nutrient inputs
- Lack of circulation to deliver nutrients to cells
- Weak digestion from parasites
Direct: Lack of input of nutrients
This is how we think of nutritional deficiencies most of the time: either we have enough or we don’t.
Minerals, vitamins, fat, protein, carbs, probiotics, light, etc.
Chemistry and physics of light, earth magnetic fields and electrons.
Sometimes we don't tolerate a nutrient but we still need it due the next form of deficiency:
Indirect: Lack of utilization from missing cofactor nutrient inputs
Nutrients work together as a system and need to balanced without too many of one relative to others.
A foundation is electrolytes magnesium, potassium, sodium.
These minerals are important to absorb and utilize all other nutrients.
If you miss one of these you have problems.
Miss two and you have big problems.
Lack enough of all three significantly and you are debilitated.
One of the first symptoms is food intolerances of healthy nutrients you cannot absorb in this state.
One of the first foods to not be tolerated is dairy, even raw milk that is more tolerable.
You can use tolerating raw milk as an indicator food when minerals are off.
Lack of circulation to deliver nutrients to cells
Blood and spinal fluid delivers nutrients to cells through the extracellular fluid.
But first fluids must be cleared of waste and toxicity to make way for nutrients.
The most common weak link is lymph stagnation because the lymph depends a lot on moving muscle to squeeze the lymph system.
The lymph system drains into the blood underneath the collar bone, so waste has a long way to go to detoxify your feet.
Oddly, fat digestion goes through the intestine to the lymph system first before going to the liver to be assimilated. Fat digestion is slower and longer with more potential interruptions.
Parasites, Candida, Bacteria
Sometimes it’s not what you’re eating but what’s eating you.
Infections can damage digestion and repress the immune system.
The first line of defense is the gut lining that protects the body from toxins, undigested food, pathogens and their outputs like LPS, lipopolysaccarides, endotoxins produced by bacteria.
These overwhelm the immune system consisting of white blood cells.
Good bacteria and yeast probiotics are also part of the immune system because they signal where white blood cells are needed.
These probiotics or the microbiome ecology of the gut are also part of digestion as they feed on food and convert it like fermenting food outside the gut. They make vitamins B, betacarotene, K and fats like butyrate that are fuel for the colon and hormones for the whole body.
A lack of probiotics leads to further deficiencies.
Deficiencies lead to weak immunity that snow ball into this in a vicious cycle.
Infection and dysbiosis are two different things.
Candida is a mutation for healthy yeast under imbalanced conditions of the terrain or overall condition of the body.
Nutrient deficiencies can lead directly to mutations of yeast and bacteria.
Then the lack of all of the above lead to lower immunity to external parasites like worms, single cell protozoa or amoebas like malaria, giardia, babesia, and bacteria associated with lyme or from other sources.
An external infection often needs to be killed directly, but also requires immune boosting.
When parasites are present, clinical practice suggests that candida cannot be killed off as it a product of the terrain of parasitic damage and nutritional deficiencies.
One rule of thumb is from larger to small because the small hide in the large: worms, fungus, bacteria.
Infections produce toxins, called endotoxins for internally generated toxicity.
Infection can be considered a subset of toxins, but it’s the toxin that fights back and cannot be attacked gradually or with long breaks.
The general toxic load or body burden of chemicals and metals that weakens digestion is addressed with nutrients that rebuild detox pathways so that is addressed through nutrition.
Nutrient deficiencies plus stress are generally the cause of toxic accumulation as many people are exposed but routine detox capability varies.
Infection requires an additional strategy.
A lack of long term progress suggests a need for a different strategy that is more complex and operates on multiple levels:
First: nutritional deficiencies fixed that vary with each individual.
No standard protocols “taking this for that” symptom medical paradigm and shopping logic.
Therefore, no individual recommendations can be given in comments.
Nutrients are for every cell, organ, function and symptom.
Including white blood cells of the immune system and for the gut linking.
Second, direct nutrient boosters: herbs for immunity, etc.
Third, things that kill infections: probably a broader mix of things to attack parasites from all angles so they can’t mutate into something else.
If treatment is dragging on too long there are weaknesses among these three levels.
If you are reading this on social media, I don’t want to answer questions about other topics like diagnosis-- that’s another article that can’t be written in comments.
Quick questions don’t equal quick answers.
As I said above, no individual advice can be given in social media comments.
