Liquid Minerals
Our bodies are masterpiece creations, comprised of many of the elements of which the universe, this earth, and all life are made. The chemical and electrical processes that occur in our bodies require that certain essential minerals (and vitamins) be in sufficient supply within us. Examples of these necessities include iron for your blood and your thyroid, calcium for bones, and sulfur for muscles. In addition, many minerals play a role in the absorption and utilization of other minerals in complicated and amazing choreographical wonder.
Our amazing bodies are well-equipped to absorb and metabolize the natural elements found in foods. Traditionally, fresh grains, fruits, and vegetables have been the primary source of a full range of trace minerals, and, for the most part, eating well has been enough to support good health. Today, however, much of our food supply is grown in soil that is depleted of naturally occurring minerals. Plants are designed to pull minerals out of the soil and transform them for our use. Plants grown in depleted soil cannot absorb, nor transform, what is not there in the soil in which they are grown.
Man-made fertilizers are now routinely applied to farms and fields where the soil is depleted. Too often man-made fertilizers are just that—man-made, laboratory-produced, unnatural, poorly unabsorbed, and even harmful and do little to replenish the supply of many trace minerals that are essential to life and health.
It is becoming increasingly evident that mineral deficiencies contribute to, or are the cause of, a great many diseases and states of ill health. Experts agree that mineral deficiencies of one sort or another exist in many people—most of us, in fact.
Millions of people in the United States are considered overly susceptible to bone fractures caused by mineral deficiencies and more than 1/3 of American women are diagnosed with osteoporosis during their lifetimes. Nearly 100% of Americans have some type of joint degeneration by the time they are 40 years old. Prostate cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, hormonal imbalances, and lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach have all been linked to zinc deficiency. Absorption and the maintenance of proper levels of magnesium in the body are impacted—negatively—by even small amounts of unusual stress in our lives.
About a year ago I spent quite a bit of time putting together a brochure that is currently being sold in packs of 10. The following image is the inside page. It gives a small amount of information on many popular minerals.
