“My views on nutrition changed one day a few years ago when one of my patients came in and told me that she had just had her septic tank repaired, and in the process they found what was contributing to the blockage in the sewer pipes – hundreds and hundreds of undigested vitamin pills, some of which the brand names were still readable.  After hearing this disturbing news, I did some research on my own.  I found that in Tacoma, Washington, 250,000 pounds of undigested vitamin and mineral pills are pulled out of the sewers every two months.  In Salt Lake City, Utah, over 150 gallons of vitamin and mineral pills show up in the city’s filters every month.”   ~ Dr. David Friedman, ND, DC

The reason for this is due to the high metallic content of these pills.  Metallic minerals, like oyster shells, carbonates, oxides and dolomites have the consistency of crushed up rocks, which our bodies were not designed to digest.  Even those pills listed as “all natural” often have added fillers and coatings that inhibit absorption. Vitamins and mineral pills are held together with fillers, binders, coatings, and preservatives.  Many have been pasteurized, causing a major loss in their life energy – not to mention the 90% that gets flushed down the drain! According to the Physician’s Desk Reference, vitamins and minerals in pill form are only 10% absorbed in the body.  However, liquid nutrients offer a 98% absorption rate because they bypass the digestive process and get absorbed immediately into the blood stream.  This means that if you are taking 100mg of a particular nutrient in a pill form, you are only absorbing 10mg.  Therefore, theoretically, you would have to take 4,000 IU of Vitamin D in pill form to receive the 400 IU “Recommended Daily Allowance” (RDA) of Vitamin D. And, knowing this, it is easy to see – when looking at nutrients in a liquid form – there is no need for the massive overdose that exists on the market in pill form.  According to the National, Advisory Board, 100mg of a nutrient consumed in tablet form translates to only a very minute, stabilized 8.3mg concentration in the blood!

As stated, the Physician’s Desk Reference shows that vitamins and minerals in a pill form are only 10 to 20% absorbed by the body.  That means for every $100 you are spending on this type of nutrient, you are literally flushing about $90 of it down the toilet.  Because of this lack of absorption, companies must use mega doses of nutrients and this can cause undue taxation on the kidneys. It is important to note that no product – whether natural or synthetic – in capsule, tablet or powder form, can create the life energy force produced by a raw and natural whole food – such as the liquid nutraceutical products we provide.

Another item of importance is “surface tension” – when the liquid nutrients a person drinks are more like the extra-cellular fluids, the body’s ability to absorb the nutrients is greatly improved.  The body’s cells are constantly taking in nutrients for use and flushing out toxins for elimination. Proper surface tension enhances the efficiency of the cellular reactions. The surface tension of normal, healthy extra-cellular fluids is around 45 Dynes.

Over the years, nutritional supplements in pill, tablet, and chelate form have been the traditional choice for millions of people.  But, scientific study has led many people to rethink their supplement choices.  Vitamins and minerals in tablet or pill form are poorly absorbed and utilized by the body.  Graphic evidence of this is seen in wastewater treatment plants and outdoor portable toilets across the country. Thousands of pounds of undigested pills and tablets, many with the name brands still readable, regularly pose a challenge for operators of waste treatment facilities.  Therefore, these forms of nutritional supplements are ineffectively used by the body – containing nutrient designs made of crushed up rocks, fillers, and binders.

Nutrients in pill form leave much to be desired; however, figuring out just which supplements to use can often be quite a task.  For example, if a person takes Calcium, they must also take Magnesium.  Then, for magnesium and calcium to properly absorb they need Boron.  In order for all of these to properly assimilate, Amino Acids are required.  Studies show Vitamin E can be very helpful in preventing heart disease, but current research shows to maintain normal blood concentrations of Vitamin E, a person must take Zinc.  However, if they take Zinc, a proper balance of Copper and Vitamin C is essential.  As you can readily see, this results in having to swallow handfuls of pills each day!

It is important to note that no matter what the body takes in, the end goal is the same - liquefaction. The challenge with most traditional pill and capsule supplements is their complex state. Due to the manufacturing process of these products, they usually have been processed with intense pressure, heat, paraffin coatings, and fillers. Even colloidal products are not in a pure design. Colloidal products are simply a suspension of small “metallic filings" in water. Due to these properties, these supplements come in a "complex" form for the body to break down. Unfortunately, these states are not the desired form the body wants. For example, you can breathe hydrogen or oxygen, but you cannot breathe water. Although water contains the individual elements of oxygen and hydrogen, they are not in a form the body can use for breathing.

The same analogy is true in supplementation. Although a substance may be present in a compound, it does not mean it can be used. In looking at what the body uses and what is found in nature, one finds ionic minerals. In addition, pills and capsules require significant digestion before any type of effective absorption can take place. Due to consumption of foods heavily laden with preservatives, drinking highly acidic beverages such as soda and coffee, exposure to environmental toxins, as well as the normal aging process, the digestive capacity of most individuals is significantly compromised. All together, mineral supplements provided in pill/capsule/tablet form provide fractional benefits to the body at best - due to their challenges with both absorption and assimilation in the body.

Liquid nutrients offer a 98% absorption rate because they bypass the digestive process and go directly into the blood stream and into the body’s cells within a matter of minutes.  In fact, tests from Massachusetts General Hospital have shown higher blood concentrations of insulin by oral liquid application.  Even injections will take the insulin 30 minutes longer to reach the same blood levels.  Not only are liquid nutrients more convenient, they also allow people with irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernias, and diverticulitis, to take nutrients that may have irritated them in a pill or capsule form.

Our bodies consist of approximately 70% water – not ordinary water – salt water.  The human body contains the same salts that exist in the ocean – in almost the exact same proportions.  Both the ocean water, and the water within our bodies, contains 80% sodium, 4% calcium, 4% potassium and 12% sulfur.  Unlike minerals from the ground, nutrients from the sea are recognized by our cell receptors and are allowed access into our cells.  Sea vegetation offers ionic minerals, which experts consider to be assimilated better than any other form.  Because sea vegetables are from the ocean, they form a great matrix when suspended in a liquid product, and they do not settle to the bottom of the bottle.  In addition to containing much more nutrients than land plants, sea vegetables contain sodium alginate, which reduces the body’s absorption of radioactive Strontium 90 and other heavy metals.  Strontium 90 comes from computer monitors, cell phones, TV, and radiation fallout from the atmosphere.  Sea vegetables have tremendous nutritional value for human consumption and are quickly finding their way into the market place.

Today, one-third of Americans now have cancer, and within the next 5-10 years it has been estimated that half of the population will have some form of cancer!  There appears to be a clear relevance with the decrease in atmospheric oxygen and the increase in cancer.  Many very renowned medical researchers have produced evidence correlating a lack of oxygen to virtually all diseases.  In 1931, Dr. Otto Warburg, who was awarded two Nobel prizes for his research on cancer, concluded, “The growth of cancer cells is initiated by a relative lack of oxygen.  Cancer cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment!”  His research makes a lot of sense, because prior to 1905, virtually no one had cancer.  The oxygen level at that time has been estimated to be 30%.  Then, in 1940, the oxygen in the atmosphere measured 25%, and 1 out of 20 Americans had cancer.

However, cancer is not the only disease that has been linked to a lack of oxygen.  World renowned Molecular Biologist, Dr. Steven Levine, concluded after extensive research, “In all serious diseases we find a low oxygen state . . . low oxygen levels in the body is a sure indicator for disease . . . Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the tissues, is the fundamental cause for all degenerative disease.” When the body becomes low in oxygen, anaerobic disease-causing organisms can grow in the body.  Dr. Ed McCabe, author of the best-selling book, “Oxygen Therapies: A New Way of Approaching Disease”, has linked many illnesses to a simple lack of oxygen, including:  Arthritis, AIDS, Allergies, Colds, Yeast Infections, Strept Throat, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Herpes, Heart Disease, etc. No vitamin, mineral, or herb, can properly metabolize when the body is in a state of oxygen deprivation.  Oxygen is the key element to good health and is also needed to help assimilate every nutrient known to man.

It is impossible to change the atmosphere.  So, how can we get more oxygen into our bodies?  We can accomplish this in several ways:

1) Cleanse and Detoxify the body;
2) Hydrate the Body with Purified Water that is alkalinized, energized and oxygenated;
3) Balance and maintain the Body’s pH level to create an Alkaline internal terrain (vs. Acidic);
4) Diet Supplementation with the proper nutrients that support an increased oxygen uptake for Building the Body’s Immune System;
5) Aerobic Exercise, which increases circulation and brings more oxygen into the body’s cells.

In looking at Nature, we see the perfect design for the ideal nutrient delivery system.  Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients are consumed from the soil by plants, then, transformed into a water-soluble design that is usable by the human body.  No matter what we put into our bodies, the goal is always the same – to make it water-soluble.

We believe the criteria for proper utilization of all minerals is dependent on size and solubility, and their impact on the rate of absorption of the mineral. Colloids are the minerals found in the soil in metallic particle form. After a mineral has been processed and then dehydrated, it should form a crystal rather than a metallic particle. When a plant grows in the soil, it absorbs minerals and changes them from colloidal form to ionic/water-soluble form. The body cannot properly use colloids in the form found in the soil. Water-soluble minerals, however, are in the proper bio-available form for use by the human body. Just because a mineral is in a colloidal solution does not ensure it will be absorbed correctly. A colloidal solution consists of a mineral particle that is suspended (not water-soluble) between water molecules. Simply put, it is unhealthy for the body to consume solid (non-soluble), metallic particles. Not only is absorption negatively affected, but proper assimilation into the cells is nearly impossible. We believe when mineral particles are truly water-soluble, they provide significant health benefits superior to any colloidal mineral solution.

Since colloid particles are far too large for cell assimilation in the body, they will become caught up in the blood stream and subsequently deposited in various parts of the body. Toxic build-up of colloidal minerals (copper, lead, and aluminum, to name a few) is known as heavy-metal poisoning.

An ion is a particle, either as a single atom or as a group of atoms, which carries an electrical charge. In nature, there are two types of ions: positive and negative. The positive ions are called cations and the negative ions are called anions. It is this electrical charge that is an inherent property of each individual mineral and is a property by which the body recognizes individual minerals in the body.

The most important issue for absorption of a mineral is making sure it is in its ionic form. The dominant factor is that the mineral must be freed from whatever matrix it is contained within so it can be recognized and taken up by the body. Being in its ionic form helps the body recognize and use the minerals.

The label contains the minimal dose recommended to maintain an individual's daily requirements. It is based on an individual weighing 100-150 lbs. The amounts appear small because minerals are approximately 100% bio-available and are assimilated by the body. As such, smaller and safer dosages are able to be used. The individual minerals can be used to customize a mineral program or to supplement a particular mineral blend. For example, if someone uses a blend and wants additional magnesium, they simply add additional magnesium from an individual bottle.

Vitamins are important co-factors. They work with minerals to help the body make repairs. The analogy of a brick wall explains it best. A brick wall is made up primarily of bricks, but also mortar. Both are important in the building of the wall. Minerals are the bricks while vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, fatty acids, and others make up the mortar.
No single mineral is the answer by itself. After working effectively with different mineral combinations, it was found that blends were both convenient and effective for certain health desires.

With bio-available, ionic nutrition supplementation, we are giving the body what it needs to rejuvenate and rebuild itself – and this takes time.  To build a better, healthier body, we have to be willing to give it a chance – we have to wait for the natural turnover of the body’s cells. An average blood cell survives 90 – 120 days.  At this rate, in only three to four months, our entire blood supply is completely replaced.  In six months, almost all the proteins in the body have been replaced – even the DNA in our genes! It only takes about a year before all our bones, including the enamel of our teeth, is replaced – reconstructed entirely out of the nutrients we consume everyday!

With bio-available liquid mineral supplementation, you are taking the necessary steps to rehydrate your body and blood cells.  Therefore, by taking the appropriate mineral supplementation as you personal needs require, you can expect to feel an escalating sense of wellness and begin to see real results anywhere from several weeks to several months for typical health conditions.  Obviously, for more serious health conditions, it may take more time, but to attain a better state of health should be worth the time spent in achieving it.

The best approach is to start with a cleansing and detoxifying program for the first month. This program provides gentle cleansing and assists in detoxifying, balancing the pH, and oxygenating the body. The second month, a program more suited to individual health needs can be implemented.
