VANADIUM – AN IMPORTANT BLOOD SUGAR AND STABILITY ELEMENT

by Lawrence Wilson, MD

Vanadium is a very interesting and exciting advanced or future female, alkaline-forming, ultra-trace mineral. We can call it the constant mineral because it tends to have a calming and steadying effect on the body, the mind and especially certain spiritual aspects of a human being.

Vanadium has a valence of -4 in most chemical reactions. It is involved in blood sugar regulation, oxygenation of the body, and perhaps other body functions, although these are not well understood at this time. Vanadium is important in the animal body, where it is needed for growth and development. This may be the case with human beings, as well.

SOURCES

Fish, seafood, kelp and some organic root vegetables are excellent sources of biologically active vanadium. Whole grains such as blue corn, wheat, rice, rye and others are also very helpful to balance the energy of vanadium in the body.

FUNCTIONS

Vanadium can enhance oxygenation of the tissues, and by so doing help to increase sugar-handling capability and disease-fighting ability. It can also help the liver and the arteries to function better.

Vanadium also has effects upon the lungs, hypothalamus, thymus, liver, spleen and bone marrow, in particular. All of these have an effect upon oxygenation directly or indirectly.

ENZYMES

TOXICITY

Too much vanadium can cause conjunctivitis, pneumonia, anemia and irritation of the respiratory tract. It may also cause dizziness, impaired energy, vertigo, anxiety and sadness or melancholy feelings. It can also cause blindness, tremors, a dry, hacking cough and neurological problems, as well.

INDUSTRIAL USES

Vanadium is used principally to make steel alloys. Vanadium adds toughness, strength and durability to steel manufacture.

SUPPLEMENTATION

Vanadium supplements are sold to assist with sweet cravings, diabetes and hypoglycemia. I do not use them, but they may help. I prefer to use food sources. Obtaining enough biologically active vanadium is an important reason why blue corn and three or four cans of sardines are highly recommended for everyone on a nutritional balancing program.

PHILOSOPHY OF VANADIUM

Vanadium prepares a person for a longer life. It is important for the regeneration of certain tissues and for what is called on this website mental or spiritual development. It is a very protective element that can help see one through to the other side of a long and healthy lifespan.
