MINERALS.... The SECRET To Extreme Health

---

It is a fact that human biochemistry runs on minerals and we MUST consume minerals from plants and plants are the only source of minerals. We know that minerals work and the only question is finding out why people are not absorbing them. 

There are 90 Nutrients that are essential to human health. Something as simple as grey hair is a deficiency in Copper BUT minerals can be very toxic to the body as well. Both extremes are dangerous and mineral blood testing should be done on everyone. 

For example, Neal D. Barnard, MD reported that researchers found a surprising link between copper and the APOE 4 allele, that is, the gene linked to Alzheimer's risk. I've learned that 3 metals; copper, iron, and zinc are clearly present in the beta-amyloid plaques of Alzheimer's disease.

Copper and Iron appear to spark the production of free radicals that can damage brain cells. Zinc's contribution appears to be different. It seems to encourage beta-amyloid proteins to clump together to form plaques. Iron and copper appear to promote clumping, too, but zinc seems to be much more aggressive in this regard. 

If you eat a perfect diet every day you might get all of your vitamins, fatty acids and amino acids but you will never get all the ORGANIC MINERALS your body requires on a daily basis. 


Why is this? Well, it is because the soil that our food is grown in is deficient in minerals, a fact that has been documented since 1993! It is impossible to get all the minerals you need regardless of how much you eat, juice or drink of plants.There are 90 Essential Nutrients identified  in science and they cannot be manufactured by themselves. We must consume them from plants right out of the earth or supplement if you do not eat enough plant food. Now just think about how deficient you are if you eat the Standard American Diet or ANY processed or FAST food!

Mineral Supplements all vary in absorbability and have the potential to become toxic so here a a quick lesson on minerals

Metallic Minerals - Only 8 to 12% absorbable. They can build to dangerous levels and accumulating in fat tissue, brain cells and liver cells. You usually see these types of minerals in over-the-counter pills like Centrum, One-A-Day or Theragram. A metallic mineral is not organic and the body has a hard time absorbing and excreting it.

Chelated Minerals - This method was patented in 1970. What it does is make metallic minerals more absorbable and much less potentially toxic to the body. Basically the metallic mineral is attached to a carrying agent such as a amino acid. 

Colloidal Minerals - These minerals have been processed through a plant and have been biochemically transformed. These minerals are non toxic to the human body and they are very absorbable like up to 90%. This is why you need to consume PLANTS! If you supplement with minerals you want them to be ORGANIC COLLOIDAL MINERALS. The word colloidal only means small. If they don't say ORGANIC don't consume them.
