Molybdenum Deficiency

Molybdenum is a trace element that hardly anyone knows — and yet your body needs it for some of its most fundamental metabolic processes. It helps with the breakdown of purines and sulfites, with detoxification, with the utilization of iron. When it is lacking, breakdown products accumulate in the tissue, cellular metabolism grinds to a halt, and the body poisons itself slowly from within. Headaches, nausea, palpitations, exhaustion — the symptoms are diffuse and are rarely attributed to this deficiency.

But the psychosomatic perspective asks a different question: Why can your body not absorb or utilise this trace element? What is happening in your inner life that prevents the substance of transformation — for that is precisely what molybdenum is biochemically: a catalyst for conversion processes — from arriving?
