Elemental Excesses and Hyperthermia

According to Dr. Ronald Roth's research and clinical findings at acu-cell.com, imbalances and excesses in specific essential minerals and toxic elements can significantly impact the body's metabolic rate, thyroid function, and thermoregulation, often leading to sensations of excessive body heat or hyperthermia.

Primary Elements Associated with Excess Body Heat

• Copper Excess:
• An elevated copper level is one of the most common factors linked to internal heat, overheating, and sensitivity to warm environments.
• Excessive copper stimulates adrenal activity and can accelerate metabolic processes, resulting in a higher basal body temperature.
• High copper-to-zinc ratios frequently correlate with symptoms of internal heat, anxiety, and restlessness.

• Iodine Excess:
• Excessive intake of iodine can overstimulate the thyroid gland, leading to a hypermetabolic state.
• This acceleration in thyroid hormone production directly increases heat generation within the body, mimicking symptoms of mild hyperthyroidism.

• Thyroid-Stimulating Trace Elements:
• Other elements that unduly enhance thyroid output or stimulate cellular oxidation can indirectly contribute to elevated body heat.

Contributing Factors

• Adrenal Stimulation:
• Elements that over-excite the sympathetic nervous system or adrenal glands increase metabolic throughput, generating excess caloric heat as a byproduct.
• Mineral Antagonisms:
• An excess of certain elements often creates secondary deficiencies in cooling or calming minerals—such as zinc, magnesium, or calcium—which normally help regulate metabolic stability and nerve transmission.
