104 Oxalate Fear: Trendy Health Traps


Listen Later

These days, the health and wellness industry really isn’t much better than it was years ago, especially when it comes to the chronically ill getting the help they need for healing. Some aspects have improved, but for the most part it’s still the same old sea of confusion out there. Carb-free diets, milk cleanses, meat only diets, extreme water fasting, bone broth cleanses, intermittent fasting, eat-what-you-want diets, trendy supplements filled with natural flavors, or supplements that are just toxic in general...the list goes on and on. It’s a wonder how the chronically ill can find their way through it all. And then there’s the good ole Oxalate Theory that peaks its ugly head out every five years and torments the people who are already tormented by what ails them. There are a few reasons why oxalate fear is still here and it’s the same reasons so many other fads and trends of health are still here: it’s marketing, PR campaigns, shock and awe strategies based on fear, and to this day, no one really knows why people are really sick. Just say oxalates are the cause and the fear takes over; it’s an easy sell, but it’s not the reality. It’s still a world of guessing games out there. The health movement keeps reigniting and spreading oxalates over and over again. An unfounded theory that holds people with chronic illness back and places them in a fear-based mentality with food...this is a nightmare. And as far as the influencers and health professionals that keep talking up and spreading oxalate fear, let’s just say it’s truly sad in so many ways. The truth is almost every food has oxalates in it, including animal protein. The people screaming their heads off about oxalates are picking on a small list of fruits and veggies, and spinach takes the biggest hit. Meanwhile, spinach is a powerful healing leafy green for the chronically ill.
In this episode…
Discover why oxalate fear is a recycled health trend trap that diverts chronically ill people from effective healing paths.
Learn how testing for oxalates is unreliable and lacks accuracy.
Find out why the fear of oxalate-rich foods is unnecessary and harmful, and why foods like spinach, celery, and potatoes are demonized.
Learn how kidney stones are not caused by oxalates and why that’s a flawed theory.
Discover the truth about viral infections and how they are the real cause of many chronic illnesses, not oxalates.
Find out why the oxalate theory is recycled misinformation and how it resurfaces periodically, misleading new generations of health seekers.
Learn how mainstream and alternative health practitioners can unintentionally spread misleading oxalate fears. Even well-meaning doctors and health coaches may unknowingly promote harmful ideas due to lack of experience with chronic illness.
Discover how Medical Medium tools (like celery juice and zinc) are real solutions and effective treatments for chronic conditions, as opposed to avoiding oxalates.
