Will you try something with me? Will you come and test some hypotheses? Clinical research teaches us that all knowledge is hypothetical. It needs tested and confirmed or disconfirmed by our own experience and findings from other research. Further, all knowledge is developmental. What we consider true is constantly changing as we have new experiences and receive new information. And all knowledge is contextual. All research findings come out of a particular perspective, particular "protocols" or procedures, with particular subjects and particular ways of analyzing data.

This seminar will describe the difference between trace minerals, which are necessary for our body’s functioning, and heavy metals, which are toxic and are causing an epidemic of chronic pain, inflammatory diseases, ADD, LD, depression, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer’s, and cancer. We will explore some of the most common heavy metals, effects on our bodies, tests for presence of these heavy metals, and ways of eliminating them by use of a process called "chelation." Many medicinal foods are also helpful for elimination of toxins, including heavy metals, from cells in the body and the brain. Come and learn to cook some powerful medicinal foods. Come and taste them! Come and share your experience.
