About Minerals by Health Authorities
In addition to acting
as building blocks for our bones, teeth, muscles
nerves, connective tissues and body fluids, minerals, particularly
the trace elements, serve as co-factors to the enzymes, which
catalyze all of the biochemical reactions that are required
for our bodies to function optimally. In the absence of specific
minerals, our bodies compensate for these nutritional deficiencies
by following less efficient, alternative biochemical pathways.
Eventually, these specific deficiency states will cause measurable
body chemistry imbalances. If left unattended, these body
chemistry imbalances will cause a loss of vitality and efficiency
in related organs, glands and inter-related body systems-
eventually leading to poor health, symptoms of degenerative
health conditions and ultimately a diminished life experience
and shortened lifetime.
Ionic
Minerals support the bodys natural processes directly
related to:
· Every biochemical
process and activity of the body.
· The acid-base
balance (pH) of the body.
· Proper
cellular metabolism, nerve conduction, muscle function, organ
function, hormonal secretion of glands, digestive competence.
· Activation
and utilization of amino acids, carbohydrates, enzymes, fats,
oils, phytochemicals, proteins, sugars, and vitamins.
· Delivery
of nutrients into, and removal of wastes from every cell,
tissue, fluid, gland and organ.
· Proper
structure and function of the hair, skin, nails and five
senses.
· The anti-oxidation
process, which protects against aging, degeneration and dis-ease.
· Protection
against toxic heavy metals.
· The spark of
life energy
One of the most
important keys to supporting and preserving human health
is by maintaining balanced levels of ionic minerals present
in all the cells and tissues of the body. Current research
shows that underlying most health conditions are nutrient
and mineral deficiencies or imbalances that are eventually
expressed by the body as symptoms of disease.
The
Decline of Nutritional Minerals in Farm and Range Soils:
At the Earth Summit
of Rio De Janeiro (June 1992), a report was released that
documented the decline of nutritional minerals in farm and
range soils, by continent, over the last hundred years. The
following table is a summary of this report:

Again, in 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the soil
in the United States was 95% depleted of essential minerals. Soil depletion,
poor crop rotation, and loss of valuable topsoil due to flooding and over-irrigation
and over-use of human made chemicals has eliminated much of the natural
trace mineral content from our soils and foods found in our modern, commercially
grown food supply.
Minerals
Protective Against the Effects of Toxic Metal Elements
When non-essential
toxic metal elements, such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium,
lead and mercury, enter the body they can compete with
minerals and other nutrients for bonding sites in the cells.
If the body is already sufficient in these minerals and nutrients
and these bonding sites are continuously filled, these minerals
and nutrients provide a protective effect against the accumulation
of toxic elements in the cells.

Quotes
About Minerals by Health Authorities and Government Sources:
It becomes
increasingly evident when studying the relationship of minerals
to human health that keeping the level of minerals in balance
in every tissue, fluid, cell and organ, in the human body
may be the key to maintaining human health. Alexander G.
Schauss, Ph.D., Minerals, Trace Elements & Human
Health
I believe
that the scientific evidence clearly shows that mineral dietary
supplements are necessary nowadays for anyone who want to
have a high quality of life. The bottom line for ionized,
bioavailable supplements is that we can all benefit from
them Dr. Parris M. Kidd, Ph.D., Speaks Out For
Ionic Minerals
"You can trace
every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral
deficiency." Dr. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel
Prizes
"The alarming
fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables and grains) now being
raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain
enough of certain minerals are starving us - no matter how
much of them we eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits
and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he
requires for perfect health because his stomach isn't big
enough to hold them." 74th Congress, 2nd Session, 1936.
The cell is
the most basic unit of life and the human body is made up
of trillions of cells. Like the body as a whole, every single
cell must have minerals with which to stay alive and carry
out its functions. Unfortunately, foods are no longer reliable
mineral sources. Most (if not all) agricultural soils have
been depleted due to practices that have failed to replenish
the soils after repeated planting. Population surveys also
consistently find large segments of the population are deficient
in one or more minerals, most often magnesium, iron, zinc,
calcium, or chromium. Dr. Parris M. Kidd, Ph.D., Speaks
Out For Ionic Minerals
"99% of the
American people are deficient in these minerals." Senate
Document #264, 1936. |
