OXALATES = Degenerative/Chronic Conditions

BadCloud  OXALATES = Degenerative/Chronic Conditions
In the last week or so I've been looking at Oxalates and due to it being such an important subject matter, it was suggested that we have a dedicated thread to discuss it. Then today, while looking at our vets website they mention what they see under the microscope in dog's urine when there is oxalates in their urine. The vet's say that the oxalate crystals are X shaped. 

The large % of oxalates comes from plant foods, e.g. some fruit, veg, nuts and seeds, an example being chia seeds and almonds, spinach is one of the vegetables with the most oxalate and sweet potato is another one. Sally Horton studied nutrition degree at Cornell University, although says they weren't taught anything about the danger of oxalates. She then went on to do her masters in Public Health. She was a strict vegetarian, then Vegan, until she became seriously ill and that took her on her journey to find the cause, Oxalate overload from the vegetarian diet. She was eating sweet potato every morning for breakfast. I don't call that eating moderately and we all know how dangerous the vegan diet is. 

She has written a book titled "Toxic Superfoods", and it is a mind blowing book, she really has done her historical medical research, plus she has included quotes from physicians and cites human and animal case studies. I will share some quotes from the book on this thread and I'm hoping that those of you that have an interest in it will discuss it. 

This subject matter is a must be aware of this information and Sally shares that there is a lot of "misinformation" on the internet about oxalates. Hence, her book is an important intervention. 

I watched numerous video interviews with her probably about 7 hours worth. There is some overlap in the interviews although I've found that there is always additional information due to different interviewers asking different questions. One of the crucial aspects of it is that children's kidneys can't excrete oxalates. So why are babies and toddlers meals full of vegetables with oxalates? 

Knowing that some plant foods are toxic for the body isn't new to medical scientists, they've known for a few centuries. 
Sally Horton says that if human urine is cloudy it means there is an oxalate overload.  [Image: heartflowers.gif] When a person is thirsty it means that the body is asking for water to excrete oxalate. 

I do have a few questions for Sally, (I have my eyes open) although I think it would be great if Ivor Cummins interviews her.

Scientists know that oxalates are the cause of kidney stones in both animals and people and that is where most of the research has been focussed to date, although Sally says that India is doing the most research into oxalates, due to Indian spices being full of oxalates too. 

I also found a paper on oxalates being involved in the degeneration of eyesight leading to a torn retina. However, there has to be a lot more research funding for this area of medical science because of the impact that it can have on the metabolism, gut microbiome, cause of inflammation, arthritis, diabetes, blood conditions, cancer, etc etc. 

People with kidney issues (especially stones), are advised by the medics to restrict their oxalate intake to 50mg a day, and Sally gives examples in her book at how Americans are having from 800 to 2,000mg a day. Has you know the average American diet is quite different to the average English diet. So I'm doing my best to weave through the differences. Also some Americans are known to go all in with something once they embrace it, and those that drink spinach smoothies are killing themselves. 

After considering all the evidence, I'm convinced there is a "Food Conspiracy", against the American people. It is a "conspiracy for profit" at the expense of the people. 

At the recent Low Carb Conference in Denver 2023, one of the presenters spoke about the corporate influence of the US government guidelines on food and Congress is not happy about it. 

I've posted a couple of presentations from that conference on the Health, Nutrition, and Science thread.

Could Oxalate overload be causing your symptoms?

This is from our vets website. 

Why bladder crystals aren't pretty! 

Calcium Oxalate 

Form square crystals with a X in the middle. 

Can form in alkaline or neutral urine. 

Caused by excessively high blood calcium levels. 

Anti-freeze poisoning. 

Cannot be resolved have to be surgically removed. 



++++++

NOTE: Oxalates bind to calcium.

Oxalates and Histamine Intolerance Q&A. 

1 hour 


Around 35 mins Sally mentions a recent scientific study where oxalates are connected to breast cancer and she explains how that happens. 

So what I am doing about this, apart from potatoes that I cut out (about 98%) at the end of February to shed some weight, (that was before I knew about oxalates) I'd shed 2 stone by the end of June. Another aspect about oxalates is that it stops people shedding weight. Hence, the "obesity" issue. 

I'm carrying on has normal and looking at what oxalates are in my daily food intake. 

Dinner 
So for instance I've had a cup of Pak Choi = 1 oxalate
Small red onion 
Half an apple (low)
2 garlic cloves
Sirloin steak 0

Ice cream and a banana (low)

Breakfast 
450g Greek coconut yogurt 0 
2 teaspoons of ground walnut
2 teaspoons of golden raisons soaked in gin 1 oxalate ?

All the oxalate lists on-line on oxalate content appear to differ. So will update the content once I've checked back with Sally's book, she's been putting a database together because there are so many variables, e.g. whether something is ripe or not, whether something is cooked or not, all changes the oxalate content going into the body.

Oxalate Poisoning & Dumping: What it looks like, the Microbiome Myth & Why Zero Carb May Not Work. 

1hour 16mins 

In that video Sally shares on of her own life stories of how when they tried to take blood out of her arm, the veins were so full of oxalates that the needles snapped. 

It makes me wonder if cutting out potatoes since February is what healed the Blepharitis that I was experiencing. When I saw the optician at the hospital the other week, he said that the eye lids had righted themselves.

I couldn't find the "What's for dinner thread". 

I'm cooking my late lunch. I tend to eat breakfast, then a late lunch due to doing my best to eat prior to sundown. Why sundown? Eating after sundown increases Uric Acid levels. The later you eat the more Uric Acid. Plus I am out this evening, water aerobics and then dog class. So it suits me to eat between 3-4 prior to taking the dog walking. 

Breakfast was the same has yesterday. 

For lunch today, I'm having baked white fish cooked in coconut milk, a little mustard, butter, garlic, half of a small white onion and the juice from two lemons. 

Served with 2 large baby broccoli stalks. 

Although it would go nice with some egg noodles.

GOUT is associated with too much Uric Acid in the body, however, Oxalate Acid Crystals is also associated with Gout. 

Dr Naveen Bhadauria wrote: uric acid is a natural by product of purine metabolism, and gout patients are encouraged to follow a low-purine diet to bring down uric acid to a healthy level. But many low-purine foods include many plant based foods high in oxalates where gout and oxalate issues collide.

I'm going to have to make a list of questions for Sally Norton.

Some years ago, I was contacted by a colleague about Fibroids and the Hospital said she could get cancer so they wanted to take out her womb. She wasn't happy about that proposal. I said, I don't think so. Go for a 2nd opinion and ask for a referral to Bristol Women's Cancer Hospital. They confirmed that I was correct, all clear. 

Thought I'd look at oxalate and fibroids. 

Oxalates bind to sulphate receptors causing loss of the sulphate molecule. This causes us to lose sulfation of hormones, causing hormone dysregulation, PMS, shedding of tissues, which can contribute to ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids.

There has been quite a few studies that oxalates are involved in breast cancer. This link cites the studies.
