#123 How Oxalates Ruin Your Health with Dr. William Shaw
Dr. William Shaw, founder of Great Plains Labs, teaches us what oxalates are, their effects on your health and what you can do to reduce oxalate levels in your body.
Most medical doctors don’t have oxalates on their radar. They are more prevalent than you think and they contribute to many health conditions, ranging from Chronic Fatigue to Autism. Oxalates can contribute to pain and discomfort and prevent detox. They even are a culprit in preventing heavy metals from eliminating on a hair mineral analysis.
Oxalates are caused by eating a high oxalate diet and produced by gut infections. Anyone with a long term gut infection should get check for oxalates. I provide oxalate testing and interpretation with an Organic Acids Test from Great Plains Lab.
If you’re having health issues or problems detoxing, ridding your body of oxalates can solve a lot of health problems. You also have to rid your body of oxalates before you have any hopes of getting rid of gut or systemic candida infections.

Fascinating podcast. I’ve always avoided raw kale and I’ve told my readers to avoid raw kale smoothies, but I didn’t know that cooking kale did nothing to remove oxalates. I need to update a few of my blog posts with this new information (at least new to me).
(P.S. The link for Great Plains Lab Under “Find Dr. William Shaw” is not working. You might want to check that out!)
Thank you! I’ll correct that link right away too.
Wheat grass is high in oxalates? The healthy home economist states that it is low, that is why I started using it! http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/how-green-smoothies-can-devastate-your-health/
What about spirulina and chlorella, do you know that? Thanks for all your work!
