Mineral Interactions and Inflammation

According to the Acu-Cell Nutrition framework, imbalances in mineral ratios are critical determinants of inflammatory processes.

The Pro-Inflammatory Mineral Pair

When evaluated through mineral-enzyme relationships, the key pair considered pro-inflammatory when pathologically elevated—or when existing in an abnormal ratio—involves:

• Copper (elevated)
• Zinc (depleted relative to copper, or co-elevated in inflammatory states)

Additional Inflammatory Imbalances

Dr. Roth's clinical observations on electrolyte and mineral synergies also highlight other pro-inflammatory pathways:

• Sodium to Potassium Ratio (high sodium combined with low potassium)
• Calcium to Magnesium Ratio (excess calcium relative to magnesium)
