Minerals that Detox
MINERAL DEFICIENCIES LEAVE HOLES
Nutritional deficiencies leave holes that toxins can occupy.
Iodine deficiency leaves a gap for other elements of the same type, halides, to occupy where iodine should be: chlorine and fluoride in our water, and bromides in bread and furniture fire retardant. Taking iodine displaces these toxic molecules and keeps them out. But this only works when cofactor nutrients needed to utilize iodine are present because it’s about the whole system, not simple take this for that.
Aluminum and silica occupy the same places. Silica is regarded as being able to displace and detoxify aluminum.
Selenium competes with mercury. Selenium can also bind with mercury to make it inert.
Arsenic and trisodium phosphate occupy the same receptor sites so phosphorous deficiency may make one more vulnerable to arsenic. I have not heard of anyone detoxifying arsenic with trisodium phosphate although this is supplement is available and cheap. It may not work like that in every case.
Lead occupies where calcium and iron should be, plus other minerals. In this case you would almost never take calcium and iron to displace lead because calcium and iron are not in the right places mostly due to a lack of cofactors to utilize them, rather than a scarcity in the diet. As a result, unbounded calcium and iron accumulate in the body with many health damaging effects. This is due to a chain reaction of deficiencies involving either sodium, or potassium, or both, magnesium, Vitamin A, and copper… and more.
Cadmium occupies where zinc should be. Zinc is important for building detoxification ability, but must be in balance with copper which is also often chronically dysregulated in many people.
And so forth.
