Deficiency in minerals and calcium can be a sign that you have problems with your thyroid and adrenal glands. If this is the case, you first and foremost need to improve the functioning of these glands so that they can utilize calcium and minerals, instead of increasing their intake.

Therefore, you need to detoxify and cleanse the lymphatic system first. Acid stagnation in the body damages the glands, so they lose their ability to produce the necessary hormones. To cleanse the lymphatic system, you need to focus on a diet that stimulates the lymph, hydrates and alkalizes the body, and cleanses and improves kidney function. It is important that your kidneys are functioning optimally so that you can filter all the acid out of your body, as acid causes problems and dysfunction of the endocrine glands.

Fruit stimulates lymph

If you are deficient in minerals on a raw food diet, it means that your adrenal glands are not working properly. If your adrenal glands are not working properly, there is a good chance that your kidneys are not working properly either. If your kidneys are not working properly, it means that your lymphatic system is not filtering, as the adrenal glands are connected to the kidneys (one gland is located on top of each kidney) and play an important role in controlling how they work.

Instead of taking calcium and minerals individually through supplements, you should focus on treating the parathyroid glands – which allow the body to use calcium – and the adrenal glands – which allow the body to use minerals. Cleanse the lymph and work on the cause of the deficiency in the body, because there is no point talking about deficiencies until digestion, absorption, utilization of substances and waste excretion are working properly.

A raw diet of foods that are alive and based on fruit will provide all the minerals and calcium your body needs.
