Why Your Body is Rusting From the Inside Out - Dr Joel Wallach DVM ND BSC

Описание: Dr. Joel Wallach frequently uses the metaphor of the body "rusting from the inside out" in his lectures and writings to describe the damaging effects of oxidative stress and free radical damage. He ties this to nutritional deficiencies, particularly in key minerals and antioxidants, which he believes accelerate aging, inflammation, and chronic diseases.Wallach's Explanation of "Body Rusting"Oxidative stress (the process behind rusting in metals) occurs when free radicals (unstable molecules from oxygen metabolism, pollution, stress, or poor diet) attack healthy cells, damaging fats, proteins, DNA, and cell membranes.
Wallach compares this to iron rusting when exposed to oxygen and moisture—cells "oxidize" and break down similarly, leading to tissue degeneration, wrinkles, gray hair, joint issues, and diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and accelerated aging.
He claims the body lacks sufficient antioxidants and minerals to neutralize these free radicals, causing "internal rusting" that manifests as chronic health problems.

Key Nutrients Wallach Recommends to Prevent "Rusting"Wallach emphasizes his 90 essential nutrients protocol, with a focus on antioxidants and minerals that combat oxidative damage:Selenium → A major antioxidant that protects cell membranes and prevents free radical generation.
Copper, zinc, manganese → Support enzyme systems that neutralize free radicals.
Vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene → Directly scavenge free radicals.
CoQ10, grape seed extract, quercetin (in products like Youngevity's Cell Shield) → Additional protection against oxidative stress.
He promotes Youngevity supplements (e.g., Ultimate Selenium, Beyond Tangy Tangerine, or antioxidant blends) to "slow cellular aging by 30%" and boost defenses.

Wallach often argues that modern diets lack these nutrients due to depleted soils, processed foods, and avoidance of certain minerals (e.g., selenium in some areas). He claims proper supplementation can "reverse" damage, extend life, and prevent diseases by stopping the "rusting" process.
