What Is Oligotherapy or Trace Minerals Therapy?
Oligotherapy uses small doses of individual trace minerals for therapeutic support, supplementing the necessary minerals for enzymatic functions. Oligotherapy remedies are catalysts that speed up metabolism at the cellular level. They provide essential nutrition to stop free radical activity which destroys bodily tissue. Oligotherapy supplementation enhances the movement of ions, essential for life, into and out of the cells.
The origins of Oligotherapy come from the research done by Bertrand at the Pasture Institute and subsequently continued by Jacques Menetrier, M.D. in 1944. Gabriel Bertrand was a French chemist and biologist. He first identified these enzymatic cofactors approximately 100 years ago and named them “oligo” elements. Later, French physician Dr. Jacques Menetrier demonstrated that trace mineral elements could be used in the treatment of biochemical dysfunctions. Oligotherapy is widely recognized in Europe as a powerful modality for treating a multitude of diseases, some of which include bacterial infections, cardiovascular disease, respiratory infections, circulatory disorders and neurological conditions.
How Does Oligotherapy Work?
Oligos in Greek means “a very tiny quantity”. Oligo-elements are trace elements that are very minute doses of minerals. Most minerals come from metals, except for calcium, fluoride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and sulphur which are metalloids (non-metallic). The trace mineral (oligo) elements are bio-available forms of trace minerals that are rapidly absorbed sublingually for therapeutic support, supplementing the necessary minerals for enzymatic functions. These bio-available elements work by normalizing enzyme and hormonal functions in order to regulate homeostasis of the body.
What Does Oligotherapy Do In The Body?
Oligotherapy is a method of providing the body with the ions that it cannot synthesize. These trace minerals are indispensable for cellular enzymatic functions. Oligotherapy is a functional therapeutic modality that requires the use of trace elements in precisely measured, small doses in a highly bioavailable form. These trace elements are co-factors in a multitude of biochemical reactions where they accelerate the speed of these reactions without ever modifying the important equilibrium that exists and that must reign within the body to maintain optimum health.
The metabolism of cells cannot be reduced to a single reaction that is independent from the rest of the body. It is critical for enzymatic function to keep the correct balance of trace elements throughout the body. Any deficiency in any element will cause a functional disorder – even if no physical cause can be identified. The person may not feel well even though their blood tests show now clear signs of issues. In the development of pathology, there is always an intermediate period between the movement simple functional disorder to a actual disease or pathology. Treating a person in this earlier state between health and disease, based on their symptoms can prevent a degenerative disease or the organ damage that will follow.
How Are Trace Minerals Lost?
A person becomes deficient in trace minerals and will benefit from oligotherapy when the burden for trace minerals uses them to be used UP faster than they are being absorbed. This is how a person can become depleted of trace minerals:
- Diet
- Change of seasons
- Chelating substances – compounds which we ingest and attach themselves to the trace elements which render the catalytic effect inert
- Environmental pollution
- Incorrect use of herbal medicines or food supplements.
- Medicines
- Negative emotions
- Noise
- Psychological disorders
- Rhythm of life out of balance, e.g. sleep
- Too little or too much exercise
Recreating Balance With Oligotherapy
An important factor besides diet that impacts the efficient absorption of trace minerals is that they are very reactive. Unless they are in the correct form, they could put other minerals in the body out of balance which leads to the malfunction of cells, degeneration and disease.
Trace minerals also can sometimes act as antagonists to each other. It is important when taking trace elements that they are taken in the correct synergy and balance. Below are a few examples of minerals and trace elements being out of balances and the possible health consequences.
