About this course

Persistent, high levels of oxalate in the body can lead to cellular and organelle injury, cell malfunction, cell death, nutrient loss, tissue malfunction, and “ageing”. Excessive oxalate consumption, especially in the context of nutrient deficiencies, is a root cause of a wide variety of health problems involving connective tissues, immunity, neurological function, digestive function, and genitourinary function.

Oxalates are produced as an end-product of human metabolism and must be excreted. But at least half of urinary oxalate comes from foods. Many of today’s popular foods contain high concentrations of oxalates which makes them capable of triggering cellular stress in the gut, vascular system, kidneys, and elsewhere. Unfortunately, many clinicians and their clients are unaware of the potential effects of the high oxalate content in some “health” foods. Although ubiquitous and abundant in nature, oxalic acid ions, calcium oxalate, and other oxalate forms are highly toxic. Calcium oxalate is not only the major constituent of kidney stones, it is also known to play a role in pain, arthritis, and neurological deterioration.

In this two-part webinar series, Sally Norton examines the clinically powerful but relatively unknown topic of how oxalates can create disease and what to do about it. Sally’s webinars will change the way you think about today’s “superfoods”. Join us for new insights and tools for supporting your clients’ recovery process.

For over 30 years, she struggled with her own seemingly unanswerable health puzzle, “Why would a person who knows how to build health have so many health difficulties that she cannot overcome?” She finally discovered the cause and the path out of the misery and committed to teaching and reaching out to others stuck in a similar frustrating situation.

She worked in the field of Integrative Medicine at the University of North Carolina Medical School as Project Manager for expanding medical education to include more awareness of holistic and alternative healing arts. Sally has published popular articles in academic and popular journals and appeared in numerous interviews discussing the widespread but little-known harmful effects of oxalates.
