Called nucleosynthesis, the extreme heat and massive size of stars created trace elements that today make up the periodic table, the cells in our bodies, and the plants and minerals that lay the foundations for our health. We have known for decades now that our soils are not supplying what we need for complete nutrition. This class identifies the most important of these elements, the best form for assimilating them, and the relationships they have with each other. We will look at herbal sources of elements, supplements, and the intriguing resin shilajit, Sanskrit for \"Conqueror of Mountains and Destroyer of Weakness\".

We discuss how to evaluate the presence of environmental toxins and how to address them with botanical medicine therapeutics.

The combination of environmental toxins and nutrient deficiency is wreaking havoc on our physiology.
