健康关键营养元素（一） - 锌 Zinc: Essential Mineral For Healt...
English Text is further down.
今天许多人担心没有获得足够的维生素D或益生菌，但实际上这些并不是对人体最重要的营养元素（当然补充是有益处的），人体健康必不可少的关键营养元素是锌和B12，而且在今天的世界，这是所有人非常普遍且最缺乏的营养元素，缺乏锌和B12会对我们的健康构成巨大威胁。缺乏维生素D不会造成生命威胁，但缺乏锌和B12却会。
本文中我们将详细解释为什么现在几乎每个人都缺锌，以及它为何对任何慢性疾病及维持健康、预防疾病如此关键。
一．对所有人健康都如此关键的锌
锌是我们免疫系统的武器，如果长期缺锌，类似于我们的军队没有枪在作战。由于一百多年来农药、杀虫剂导致的土壤酸化，加上核辐射物每天都从天而降进入土壤（切尔诺比利核爆炸的辐射物现在只有一部分掉到了地球上，还没有算上二战的原子弹），这一切都导致土壤变得缺锌。同时，我们面临的毒素和病毒挑战越大，失去的锌就越多，种植的水果和蔬菜现在不再大量含有这种必需的矿物质，现在原本富含锌的食物（南瓜子等）现在都很难从土地中获得锌。
几乎所有人基本上从父母辈开始就缺锌，父母辈缺锌会遗传到小孩，如果长期缺锌，指甲并不光滑，会有许多竖纹，严重缺锌会导致指甲非常脆，容易折断。现在很少有人指甲光滑，一条竖纹都没有。维持健康的锌水平有助于保护我们免受病原体侵害，并最大限度地减少未来的疾病风险。缺锌导致我们的免疫抵抗力普遍下降，这也是为什么流感如此肆虐以及各类细菌病毒越来越猖獗的重要原因之一。
由于出生时就继承了祖辈的锌匮乏，或者在一生中逐渐变得缺乏锌，弱化的免疫系统给病毒提供了发展的绝佳机会。随着时间的推移，容易出现各类病症以及恶化，诸如疲劳、皮疹、头晕、眼睛浮肿、心悸、偏头痛、皮肤干燥、头发脆易断、耳鸣、睡眠问题、经痛、甲状腺问题等。
严重缺锌会导致严重的病症。锌是肝脏健康、自身免疫疾病、青春痘、肾上腺问题、关节炎、癌症、湿疹、牛皮癣、脑雾，儿童和婴儿健康、糖尿病、疲劳、情绪波动、痛风、心悸、肝炎、高血压、高胆固醇、潮热，各种炎症、偏头痛、小肠细菌过度增长、鼻腔内的感染、体重问题、眩晕、耳鸣、多发性硬化症、狼疮、莱姆病、各种甲状腺疾病、EB病毒和带状疱疹等病毒引起的各种病症、尿路感染、念珠菌以及现在存在所有各种症状。如果现在有任何的病症，或希望能够预防疾病，请将锌变成你最好的朋友。
二．病毒的强大杀手
病毒是各种慢性疾病和病症背后最主要的原因。但现在医学界并不了解这一点，也没有发现各类导致病症的病毒变体（更多详细细节，请见“各类慢性疾病背后的真凶（一）、（二）、（三）”。只有了解引起疾病的真正原因才能真正的疗愈。
锌是对抗病毒最重要的营养元素之一，我们这个时代面临越来越具攻击性的病毒诸如EB病毒、带状疱疹、单纯疱疹病毒和巨细胞病毒等。大多数人都在快速地消耗体内的锌甚至体内深层的锌储备。当体内有病毒时，很容易造成缺锌（因为免疫系统非常需要锌应对入侵者），更糟糕的是，我们出生时许多人就处于缺锌的状态。锌可以杀死病毒细胞，降低疱疹病毒（诸如EB病毒和带状疱疹病毒等）生成的神经毒素对身体造成的炎症反应，包括EBV，带状疱疹等。
三．肝脏的盟友
锌对肝脏的健康和正常功能有至关重要的作用。液体硫酸锌（liquid zinc sulfate）对于肝脏所有的2000多种化学功能都会起到作用，锌对我们在子宫内肝脏发育开始一直到成年期的肝脏发育都有重要作用。
肝脏内储存了大量的锌，因为我们吃的食物中普遍缺乏锌。没有锌，肝脏无法发挥其保护我们的功能，因此肝脏永远在渴求更多的锌，在当今这个高压力快节奏的时代，身体和精神所需锌的量远远超高过去。病毒、细菌和其他病原体的肆虐也在大量消耗我们体内的锌储备。
肝脏内锌储备一个重要的作用是去除肝脏中通常一直很高且会导致器官伤害的有毒形式的重金属铜。如果一个人缺锌，甚至到了肝脏内的锌储备都降至危险水平情况下，很容易会导致大量与病毒相关的自身免疫性疾病（更多详细细节请见“自身免疫性疾病的原因和疗愈（上）和（下）”。锌有助于帮助肝脏的免疫系统对抗任何进入肝脏的入侵者。
四．保护甲状腺的关键
大家也许观察到，现在有越来越多的人有各种甲状腺问题，诸如桥本氏甲状腺炎、格雷夫斯病、甲状腺功能减退症、甲状腺癌症、结节、囊肿或肿瘤等。锌对各种甲状腺疾病至关重要，因为它可以杀死医学尚不了解的导致甲状腺问题的EB病毒（更多细节请见“各类慢性疾病背后的真凶- EB病毒（上）和（下）”。锌可以保护甲状腺免受病毒攻击，减少结节、肿瘤和囊肿（无论是恶性还是良性）的生长。此外，初生碘（nascent iodine）对于患有甲状腺问题的人来说至关重要，它是对抗病毒和其他病原体的强大武器（关于现在普遍对碘的误解会在之后的文章中更详细的解释），碘需要锌才能发挥最佳作用，这也是为什么锌对于甲状腺很关键的原因之一。
五．对抗感冒和流感的最佳武器
如果你感觉有感冒或流感的初期症状，可以采用锌疗法。重要的是在一开始出现症状时就进行。身边请随时备有高质量的液态硫酸锌（liquid zinc sulfate），根据不同品牌的剂量可以将几滴或者一吸管（不同锌剂量不同，有的是几滴，有的是一吸管）滴入喉咙，保留一分钟后咽下。过三小时后，再次重复操作，在接下去的两天内每三个小时重复同样操作。你如果实际操作过，就会了解锌的强大。
六．其他多种疗愈功效
锌对人体如此重要的原因还有：
- 锌可以增强白细胞，从而给予免疫系统极大的支持，诸如淋巴细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞、中性粒细胞、嗜酸性粒细胞、巨噬细胞和单核细胞。
- 支持胰腺和肾上腺，有助于稳定血液中的葡萄糖水平。
- 强化内分泌系统：包括肾上腺，甲状腺和丘脑，因此可以支持重要的神经传递素。
- 对生育力至关重要，例如男性精子的健康。
等等。
七．关于锌的误解
有一种担心认为补锌会耗尽体内的铜。请不要让这种误解阻碍我们的疗愈。当我们选择正确的高品质锌补充剂即液体硫酸锌时，完全不必担心铜的流失。锌不会让有助于健康的必需微量矿物质铜流失，相反它会帮助我们去除任何有毒的重金属铜（此铜非彼铜，这两者之间存在巨大差异）。事实上，微量矿物质铜是日常食物来源中最容易获取到的，因此所有人体内的铜含量都很高，也很容易及时补充，因此不容易缺乏。我们体内同时也存在许多高毒性的重金属铜，锌补充剂会帮助我们去除这种对健康不利的铜。
即使血液检查显示你有足够的锌，也不代表肝脏或关键器官内有充足的锌。因此血液检测并不能帮助我们判断缺锌的状况。指甲的竖纹和易脆状态可以帮助我们做出更好的判断。
八．如何有效地补充锌
1. 富含锌的食物
有些食物含锌量比较高，经常加入日常饮食会帮助补充锌，诸如芽菜（sprouts，诸如西蓝花芽、萝卜芽、苜蓿芽等等）、羽衣甘蓝等甘蓝类蔬菜、南瓜子、萝卜、朝鲜蓟（artichoke国内种植不多）、荨麻叶（nettle leaf）、欧芹（parsley）、洋葱和生蜂蜜等。但由于现在土壤内普遍缺锌，补充高质量的液体硫酸锌也同样重要。
在地球上可以获得的食物不再含有足够的锌来提供我们身体的需要。即使是最好的有机农场土壤也往往缺乏这种矿物质，部分原因是从天而降的有毒重金属和核辐射会改变土壤的pH平衡，并让土壤中的微生物和锌消失。这意味着，诸如富含锌的南瓜籽或其他已知含锌量高的食物对我们健康虽然有支持，但是如果想要对抗疾病或者避免未来疾病，补充高质量的液体硫酸锌是免疫支持和保护的关键。
2 关于液体硫酸锌
锌补充品有多种不同的形式，并不是每一种都对我们有同样的益处。请选择液体硫酸锌（liquid zinc sulfate），这是对健康最关键的锌。此外，与所有营养补充品一样，许多产品包含对健康不利的添加成分，因此选择尽可能纯净的产品非常重要。避免使用含有柠檬酸、天然香料、酒精、防腐剂和其他有毒成分的锌补充剂。请选择干净、高品质的液体离子硫酸锌。
现在国内卖的大多数牌子都很容易有各种添加剂，几个牌子供大家选择：www.iherb.com上eidon的液体锌（iherb和顺丰合作，包邮一般一周就能寄到国内）。另外的两个纯净液体锌的牌子是Vimergy（www.vimergy.com）和goodstate（www.goodstate.com）。此非软文，希望对大家的健康有所助益。
Zinc: Essential Mineral For Health
In today’s world it’s common for people to be concerned they’re not getting enough vitamin D or probiotics, but the nutrients that should be getting the most attention for supplementation are the right kinds of zinc and B12. It’s these two nutrients that people are most commonly deficient in and that pose the greatest threats to our health when we are deficient.
In this article, I will explain why almost everyone is deficient in zinc and why it’s so critical to include–not only for chronic illness but also for health maintenance and future illness prevention.
Essential For Everyone
With a severe zinc deficiency, you can become gravely ill. Zinc is critical for liver health, autoimmune conditions, acne, adrenal problems, arthritis, cancer, eczema, psoriasis, brain fog, child and baby liver (the name I have given to a certain set of health challenges many babies and children suffer with–read more in Liver Rescue), diabetes, fatigue, mood struggles, gout, heart palpitations, hepatitis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hot flashes, inflammation, migraines, SIBO, sinus infections, weight issues, vertigo, tinnitus, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Lyme disease, thyroid problems, Epstein-Barr virus, shingles, UTIs, candida, and every other symptom and condition that exists. If you have a symptom of any kind or you wish to help prevent symptoms in the future, it’s time to make zincyour best friend.
Virus Killer
Viruses are the most common cause of all kinds of chronic illnesses and conditions. Unfortunately, medical science and research haven't discovered this yet, nor have they discovered the existence of dozens of mutated strains of viruses that are causing health problems. Tragically, that means that unless people are discovering the truth in the Medical Medium information, or they’re hearing the truth from a friend, family member, doctor, or health practitioner who learned it from my information, then they will not get the answers they need to heal. I share much more about these viruses and how they cause hundreds of different health conditions and symptoms in my books, Medical Medium,Life-Changing Foods, Thyroid Healing, and Liver Rescue.
Zinc is one of the most important resources to fight viruses such as Epstein-Barr (EBV), shingles, herpes simplex, citomegalovirus, and more. The body uses up supplies and even deep reserves of zinc at a rapid rate. It’s very common to become zinc-deficient when you have a virus, which most people do, if you weren’t already deficient. Zinc kills viral cells and lowers inflammatory reactions to neurotoxins produced by viruses in the herpes family, including EBV, shingles, and more.
Your Liver’s Ally
In Liver RescueI share how integral zinc is for your liver’s health and proper functioning. “Zinc (as liquid zinc sulfate) is responsible for all of the over 2,000 chemical functions of the liver, including the creation of your liver in the womb and the development of your liver as you grew and reached adulthood.
The liver stores an abundance of zinc because it knows people are zinc deficient, in part due to the lack of it in the food we eat. Without zinc, your liver can’t perform its functions that protect your whole body, so despite its zinc storage, your liver always needs more, because the zinc output needed to respond to the mental and physical demands upon us is high. The onslaught of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens in particular drains our zinc reserves.
One specific purpose of zinc reserves is to eliminate toxic forms of copper that are always high inside the liver and that can cause the organ harm. If someone is so zinc-deficient that even the liver’s zinc reserves have dropped to a dangerous level, that person can develop a host of viral related autoimmune diseases and illnesses, which you can read about throughout the Medical Medium book series. Zinc helps the liver’s immune system fend off every unfriendly microorganism that enters the liver.”
Critical For Thyroid Health
Do you or does someone you know have a thyroid condition such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, nodules, cysts, or tumors? Zinc is critical for all thyroid conditions because it kills the virus that medical science and research don’t yet know is responsible for thyroid problems: Epstein-Barr virus. Zinc, as liquid zinc sulfate, helps protect the thyroid from becoming inflamed from the virus, along with reducing the growth of nodules, tumors, and cysts (both cancerous and benign). In addition, nascent iodine, which is critical for anyone with thyroid problems because it’s an antiseptic to viruses and other pathogens, is brought to life by zinc so it can work as well as possible.
Cold & Flu Support - Zinc Shock Therapy
If you feel like you might have a cold or flu developing, you can use a healing practice I call “zinc shock therapy.” It’s important to begin it as soon as you get your first sign of a flu developing, so having a bottle of high-quality liquid zinc sulfateon hand at all times is important. Squirt two dropperfuls of the zinc into your throat, let it sit there for a minute and then swallow the zinc. Three hours later, squirt another two dropperfuls into your throat and let it sit there again for a minute before swallowing. Repeat every three waking hours for two days.
Zinc Deficiency is a Trigger for Illness
If you allow yourself to become zinc deficient or you’re born into this world with a zinc deficiency, which is very possible because we inherit deficiencies from our family line, it gives viruses a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a weakened immune system and prosper. Symptoms and conditions can show up or worsen over time, including fatigue, rashes, dizziness, eye floaters, heart palpitations, migraines, dry skin, brittle hair, tinnitus, sleep issues, painful menstruation, thyroid problems,
Zinc deficiency is also directly responsible for nail problems like weak and brittle nails, ridges, and missing moons on the nails.
Multitude of Healing Benefits
Some other reasons zinc is so important include:
* Liquid zinc sulfate gives a major boost to the immune system by strengthening white blood cells such as lymphocytes, basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, macrophages, and monocytes.
* Supports the pancreas and adrenal glands and helps stabilize glucose levels in the blood.
* Fortifies the endocrine system—including the adrenal glands, thyroid, and thalamus—which in turn supports neurotransmitters.
* Critical for fertility, including for the health of a man’s sperm.
* And more.
Foods Rich In Zinc
There are some foods that are especially high in zinc and are very helpful to have in your diet regularly, including sprouts, microgreens, collard greens, pumpkin seeds, radishes, artichokes, nettle leaf, parsley, onions, and raw honey. However, it is also important to consider supplementing with the right kind of zinc: liquid zinc sulfate.
The foods available to us on this earth don’t contain enough zinc anymore to provide all the zinc we need. Even the best organic farms tend to be missing this mineral from their soil, in part due to the elevated levels of toxic heavy metals that fall from the sky, altering the pH balance of the soil, depleting soil-borne microorganisms, and reacting negatively with the soil’s trace minerals such as zinc. This means that while pumpkin seeds, for example, which are celebrated for their zinc content, can be supportive, along with other foods known to be high in zinc, if you’re dealing with a symptom or condition, then supplementing with high-quality, liquid zinc sulfate will offer you an important immune boost.
More on Zinc Sulfate
Zinc comes in different forms and which form you supplement with matters. They’re not all going to offer you same benefits. Zinc sulfate is special in how it supports health. Also, as with all supplements, many products include added ingredients that are not health supporting, so it’s important to choose one that is as clean as possible. Avoid the many liquid zinc supplements that are loaded with citric acid, natural flavors, alcohol, and other toxic ingredients. Instead, search for a clean, high-quality liquid ionic zinc like the one on my preferred supplements page.
Eating plenty of zinc-rich foods and supplementing with zinc sulfate (at normal levels, not in megadoses) can offer so much relief for the person who suffers from chronic illness.
Zinc and Copper
As I share in Thyroid Healing, there’s a fear out there that taking supplemental zinc will deplete all the copper in your body. Don’t let this misconception hold you back. When you take the right type of zinc supplement, which is liquid zinc sulfate, you don’t need to worry about copper loss. This zinc doesn’t remove the essential trace mineral copper that’s helping your health; it only removes any toxic copper—and there’s a huge difference between those two. In fact, even with a lesser zinc supplement, you wouldn’t have to worry about copper loss, because trace mineral copper is one of the most assimilable and available from everyday food sources, so we’re all high in it, able to recoup it quickly, and not at risk for becoming deficient. It’s also very common to be high in toxic copper, so if the lesser zinc supplement is cleansing you of it, it’s doing you a favor. Of course, it’s still best to go with high-quality, preservative-free,liquid zinc sulfate.
