Integrative Thoughts
Dr Robert Selig | Breaking Down Calcium and Calcification
Dr. Robert Selig is a functional medicine practitioner, hair tissue mineral analysis expert, and owner of Back To Natural Health in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. He offers personalized natural healthcare packages for both local and remote patients to address and help prevent the chronic illnesses plaguing our society like adrenal exhaustion and copper toxicity—widely unknown epidemics affecting over 80% of our population. After 30+ years of experience and research in the natural health field and learning how to cure his own adrenal exhaustion and copper toxicity, he offers adult and child patients individualized care plans tailored around their biochemistry using revolutionary new tests like HTMA rather than typical blood tests which don’t provide the important cellular information needed to get healthy. He offers one-on-one guidance to address the root cause of a patient’s health condition using mineral balancing, nutritional strategies, detoxification protocols, homeopathy, energy healing, and functional medicine. His goal is to help you approach life without pharmaceutical drugs that cause mineral imbalance, to avoid future invasive surgeries, and to reverse engineer the aging process. Dr. Selig teaches patients both the art and science of natural healing to restore energy, strength, and vitality and make living an exciting new journey rather than debilitating and insufferable. Patients can expect increased energy and hormone levels, less brain fog and chronic infections, natural weight management, and full body healing using the most efficient, time-tested, and effective therapies and methods.

The method I've been using is to figure out what's not true. Everything I think I've gotten wrong in my life was due to laziness or believing what I was told. The normal narrative is not the truth. There is no evidence that HIV causes AIDS. Most vaccines are to protect against viral diseases. There is no study that proves the existence of a virus. Autoimmunity is a term used for chronic illness. The body is designed to heal itself if we don't interfere. Viruses and bacteria have never been shown to be the causative agents of disease.

Nathan Jones, the CEO of Xlear, global leader in creating natural, convenient, xylitol-based sinus and oral care products that support a healthy lifestyle.   Nathan was born in Kansas City and he spent his formative years in Idaho, in a small town where his father was the town doctor. Later, in a pursuit to provide needed support for the entire family of 14 kids, Nathan’s parents made the decision to move to Michigan, and then Mexico City. When he was 16 years old, the family made another move, this time to Utah which is also where Nathan graduated from high school.   He attended college for a year, spent a year in active duty, and also went on a two-year mission with his church. Nathan moved back home in 1994 and started attending Utah Valley University. Later, he made a transition to Seattle where he attended school to become a commercial diver – he used skills from this education when he worked as a diver in oilfields in Louisiana between 1995 and 2000. Nathan then returned to Utah and founded Xlear in order to improve lives by spreading the message of Proactive Health.   Website: https://xlear.com/   Work With Me: Mineral Balancing HTMA Consultation: https://www.integrativethoughts.com/category/all-products  My Instagram: @integrativematt My Website: Integrativethoughts.com   Advertisements:   Viva Rays: Use Code ITP for a Discount https://vivarays.com/   Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP Magnesium Breakthrough: Use Code integrativethoughts10 for 10% OFF https://bioptimizers.com/shop/products/magnesium-breakthrough Just Thrive: Use Code ITP15 for 15% off https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/ITP15 Therasage: Use Code Coffman10 for 10% off https://www.therasage.com/discount/COFFMAN10?rfsn=6763480.4aed7f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6763480.4aed7f   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Background 04:53 Understanding Xylitol and Its Origins 09:56 Fluoride vs. Xylitol: A Dental Debate 14:59 The Role of Xylitol in Oral Health 19:57 Nasal Hygiene and Mold Treatment 24:52 The Connection Between Oral Health and Systemic Illness 29:56 Xylitol's Impact on Maternal Health 34:59 Conclusion and Future Directions 37:06 Alternative Treatments and Protocols 39:28 The Role of Nasal Hygiene 43:11 Challenges with Regulatory Agencies 46:30 Historical Perspectives on Hygiene 54:58 Practical Applications of Nasal Hygiene Products   Takeaways: Xylitol is a natural sugar that helps prevent tooth decay.

Lewis Moon | Examining Oxidation Rates on HTMA
My name is Lewis Moon and I'm a Mineral Balancing Practitioner & Hair Mineral Analysis App Developer.   I have a diploma in Nutritional Balancing Science and a bachelor's degree with honors in Landscape Architecture.    In 2004 I started feeling detached from reality, with 24/7 brainfog, DP/DR, terrible social anxiety, racing mind, skin problems and over 30 other symptoms.    In 2011 I came across an article by Dr Lawrence Wilson on brain fog and this is where my Mineral Balancing journey started. Little did I realize how sick and burned out I was.    Through HTMA I discovered and healed extreme adrenal burnout, chronic fight or flight, severe copper toxicity, toxic metal issues, severe liver damage from accutane and many more debilitating problems.   In 2015 I became a practitioner under Dr L Wilson until 2020 where I realized the complexity of Mineral Balancing and HTMA and how building a piece of software to analyze the tests would be very helpful for practitioners and individuals in the space.   This is where Hair Analysis App - www.hairanalysis.report was born. Used by hundreds of practitioners the app is able to generate highly detailed HTMA reports, supplement regimes and healing reports in order to aid a practitioners analysis of clients.    I currently spend most of my days improving the software and I work with a small group of clients to improve their health through Hair Analysis and Mineral Balancing.   You can find me on YouTube under the channel Life Labs HTMA.  My website is www.lifelabshtma.com And my app is at www.hairanalysis.report   Work With Me: Mineral Balancing HTMA Consultation: https://www.integrativethoughts.com/category/all-products  My Instagram: @integrativematt My Website: Integrativethoughts.com   Advertisements:   Viva Rays: Use Code ITP for a Discount https://vivarays.com/   Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP Magnesium Breakthrough: Use Code integrativethoughts10 for 10% OFF https://bioptimizers.com/shop/products/magnesium-breakthrough Just Thrive: Use Code ITP15 for 15% off https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/ITP15 Therasage: Use Code Coffman10 for 10% off https://www.therasage.com/discount/COFFMAN10?rfsn=6763480.4aed7f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6763480.4aed7f   Chapters: 00:00 Navigating Parenthood: The Early Days 03:01 Nutrition and Child Development 05:58 The Importance of a Stress-Free Environment 08:53 Foundations of Health: The First Years 12:11 Cravings and Nutritional Needs 14:56 Understanding Oxidation Rates 17:58 The Science Behind Cravings 21:04 Mineral Balancing for Children 35:20 Understanding Mineral Interactions in Oxidation Rates 38:14 The Role of Adrenal Function in Metabolism 40:34 The Complexity of Oxidation Rates and Diets 43:43 The Importance of Testing and Individualized Nutrition 46:49 Copper and Its Role in Health 49:46 The Debate on Vitamin D3 and Calcium Levels 01:01:44 The Complexity of Hair Analysis and Its Patterns 01:05:29 Comparing Oxidation Rate Calculations in Hair Analysis 01:14:39 Understanding Hair Analysis: The Two Camps 01:21:41 The Importance of Accredited Courses in Hair Analysis 01:25:57 Valence Update: Results and Observations 01:39:40 Innovations in Supplementation: The Future of Healing Takeaways: Parenthood brings both challenges and blessings.
