Dr. Joel Wallach returned to discuss the human body’s innate ability to heal itself through natural means and supplementation, without the use of dangerous and expensive pharmaceuticals. He contends that most ailments and diseases are primarily brought about by deficiencies in various nutrients and minerals. For example, certain brain cancers are caused by a deficiency in the mineral gallium, as shown by studies of children with tumors in a specific part of England, he cited. Selenium supplementation, he noted, can reduce the risk of different types of cancer.
Regarding diet, Dr. Wallach advised not eating fried foods, oils, and processed meats, and in the case of those with diabetes, avoiding sugar even in products such as fruit juices. “I would also stay away from bread…one slice of even gluten free bread…will raise your blood sugar faster and higher than a heaping tablespoon of white table sugar,” he added. Regarding the differences in mineral supplements, Wallach explained that colloidal suspensions can hold a lot more minerals than liquid solutions, and are more readily absorbed by the body.
