Vitamins control the body's ability to absorb, and use minerals,
and without minerals, vitamins have no purpose, and are quickly eliminated from
the body. It is a huge waste of money to gobble handfuls of high potency tablets,
without backing them up with the right minerals. It's like trying to run your car
with a full tank of gas, but no oil in the engine.
Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but without minerals,
vitamins are useless.
This discovery is one of the latest and most important revelation by science
about human health.
Research has shown direct correlations between mineral deficiencies and illnesses.
For example, diabetes or hypoglycemia involve chromium, zinc and vanadium deficiencies; cancer
and heart disease involve selenium, copper, and more. Most everyone knows that
osteoporosis involves a calcium deficiency, but fewer know about the
need for magnesium and boron as well. Baldness, and premature
graying is also caused by missing minerals.
When you are taking a vitamin-mineral tablet, you are taking what is called "METALLIC MINERALS"
You only absorb 8-12% of these metallic minerals, the rest passes through you. If you talk to a chiropractor who x-rays
patients, he'll tell you what he sometimes sees lined up in the small intestines: WHOLE VITAMIN & MINERAL TABLETS, like little boxcars, taking a long ride through the intestines.
Before you can use even the normal 8-12% of a metallic mineral, the WHOLE mineral must be broken down by
your body. That's asking a lot of a body unless it's already in top shape.
The health food industry had a problem in the late 70's, they developed "chelated" minerals: wrapping amino
acids or protein around the minerals helps the body metabolize them. This results in slightly over 50%
absorption at best.
Keep in mind....metallic minerals (also known as elemental minerals or salts) come from oyster shell, calcium
carbonate, limestone, clay, sea salts. Supposedly, too much of some of these elements can have toxic effects on
your body. Human beings are not able to efficiently absorb them or to use them. Certain animals are, but we are
not. Nevertheless, that's where the minerals in most mineral tablets come from.
If you're going to spend money for minerals, you should get the highest value for your dollar. Plus, it is far
easier to get kids to take liquid Majestic Earth than any big pills. Most "kids" products don't contain many
minerals anyway. Read the labels: they have maybe one mineral, or five, or fifteen at most. And the other 40+
minerals humans need??? In fact Dr. Wallach says, you don't get the minerals or the balanced nutrition you and
your family need to help manage stress and stay vital.
Colloidal minerals are truly the most efficient way to get your minerals. You can absorb 98% of them. They are
liquid. They have a small particle size. To give you a comparison: a red blood cell is 7 microns. A colloidal
mineral particle is 0.01 micron (or less): that is 1/7000th the size of a red blood cell.
Minerals move around in our bodies through our blood, and we store minerals in our cells. The small size of
colloidal minerals is ideal. The negative charge means they stay in solution or suspension- they don't settle out.
They are very very absorbable.
Life without minerals? Impossible! Did you know that proteins, enzymes and hormones are all formed
from minerals? Minerals are the cornerstone of good health, all prevention and recovery programs.
