Oxalates: An Important Factor in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Many Diseases
Oxalates are highly reactive molecules that can accumulate into tissues and every organ of the body causing pain, dysfunction and inflammation. These toxic compounds enter the body through the consumption of “healthy” foods such as spinach, nuts, soy and chocolate.
Elevated levels of oxalates are associated with kidney and urinary tract pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus, cardiac disease, neurological impairment, slow recovery from injuries and more. Dr. Shaw, oxalate researcher and expert, will review the dietary and other sources of oxalates, symptoms, accurate diagnosis through testing, and treatment options to reduce levels so optimal health can be restored.
