| Molybdenum
is a little-known, though essential, trace mineral. It
is instrumental in regulating pH balance
in the body. For each pH point increase (e.g., 6.1-6.2),
the oxygen level is increased 10x, thus increasing the
metabolism and enhancing the body’s ability to burn
fat.
Although very small amounts are needed, molybdenum is
a vital part of three important enzyme systems and is
necessary for the proper function of certain enzyme-dependent
processes, including. the metabolism of iron. When the
iron stored in the liver is freed, it can then carry
oxygen to body cells and tissue. Molybdenum works with
the enzyme systems to help eliminate toxic nitrogen waste
by turning it into uric acid. The uric acid then can
be converted and more easily flushed out of the system.
Molybdenum promotes general well being, aids in carbohydrate
metabolism, has proven itself useful in MSG (or other
chemical) sensitivity, increases libido, and may enhance
the effect of fluorine in tooth decay prevention (dental
enamel is rich in molybdenum). It also induces sleep.
Because of
molybdenum’s ability to raise the body’s
pH, it may be beneficial in the treatment of cancer,
viruses, and parasites.
