ABCs of Minerals!
© By Lena Sanchez
The Necessary Health Need, But Not Talked
About!
Even though information proving that
minerals cannot be found in sufficient quantity in our food
stuffs, it is still not being taught to our physicians and
health care personnel! See
http://www.antibiotic-alternatives.com/senate_document.htm
Minerals are necessary for the formation
of blood and bone, body fluids, cellular growth and healing,
energy, muscle tone, and nerve function. Minerals are often
vital in the absorption, function and effectiveness of certain
vitamins. If minerals are not present in the proper proportion,
then vitamins are not sufficiently absorbed.
A. The body must maintain an adequate
mineral supply to maintain a balance between internal and
external pressures of the body cells called "osmotic
equilibrium." This state must be maintained for normal cell
function and continued youthful health. The body does not absorb
Pill/rock minerals and only assimilates about 1% into your
system, making it imperative to take ocean/sea based minerals
for 99% absorption!
B. All nutrients such as vitamins,
proteins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, sugars,
oil, etc., require minerals for activity. All bodily processes
depend upon the action of minerals to work properly.
C. Trace
minerals are more important in nutrition than vitamins. Vitamins
can be synthesized by living matter - minerals cannot.
D. Vitamins
are required for every biochemical activity of the body but,
Vitamins cannot function unless minerals are present.
E. Minerals are what make enzyme functions
possible. Minerals combine with enzymes into an alkaline
detoxifying agent that neutralizes the acid metabolic
by-products of the cells and other toxic conditions within the
body and prepares them for elimination.
F. Glandular hormonal secretion is
dependent upon mineral stimulation, which is insufficient to
non-existent without minerals to balance, hence the upsurge of
PMS and early menopause in women and Prostate cancer and other
cancers in men.
G. The acid-alkaline balance (pH) of tissue
fluid is controlled by minerals.
H. All elements work together as a
collective whole. If there is a shortage of just one mineral,
the balance of the entire bodily activity can be thrown awry. A
deficiency of one mineral may disrupt the entire chain of life,
rendering other nutrients either useless or inefficient.
I. The mineral concept is still not brought
into play by the traditional medical community! The following
explanations may shed some light on some problem or problems you
or someone you know may be having or have had! Note that the
same problems are listed with several different minerals
therefore making it necessary to have the total 84 minerals and
trace minerals in you system daily!
The following list is of the now recognized
minerals and in years to come will add more, as studies discover
the insufficiencies noted in different illnesses.
BORON
Is said to potentiate estrogen's role in
building bones by helping convert vitamin D into the active form
necessary for the absorption of calcium. Boron is essential to
bone metabolism and calcification of bones, and helps prevent
osteoporosis, arthritis, and tooth decay. Boron is necessary for
cartilage formation and repair; it affects calcium, magnesium,
and phosphorus levels. Memory and brain function can be improved
with boron. Boron plays a role in regulating the hormones,
especially estrogen, but testosterone as well. A boron
deficiency can cause weak and fragile cell walls. Some research
shows that boron improves libido. Boron is stored in the
parathyroid glands.
Indications of insufficient of Boron may be: Arthritis, Memory
loss, Brittle bones, Muscle pain, Carpal Tunnel syndrome,
Osteoporosis, Degenerative Joint Disease, Receding gums,
Hormonal imbalance, Weak cartilage and Loss of libido
CALCIUM
Calcium is one of the most essential of the
major biochemical elements needed in human nutrition. It is
necessary for every organ of the body, including the brain.
Calcium is called the "knitter" because it promotes
healing or knitting everywhere in the body. It is valuable for
tone, power, strength, longevity, vitality, and endurance,
healing of wounds, counter-acting acids, and helping regulate
metabolism. Because it is used in almost every function, calcium
is commonly deficient in our diets. It is one of the first
elements to go out of balance when the diet is inadequate.
Calcium is stored in the blood and teeth, as well as in the
nerves, muscles and tissues. Calcium requires other minerals to
be effective and do its job. Magnesium and Vitamin D increase
calcium absorption while sodium helps keep calcium in soluble
form in the body (it must be water soluble to be useable).
Calcium raises the body's resistance to viruses, parasites,
bacteria, and cancer. A lack of calcium leads to a host of
diseases and degenerative conditions. Pure water-soluble calcium
serves a two-fold purpose; it helps reverse symptoms caused by a
buildup of compounded calcium, like kidney stones, gallstones,
arthritis, and high cholesterol, and helps reverse conditions
caused by a deficiency of calcium like acidosis and
osteoporosis. A high incidence of cavities, or white spots on
fingernails indicates a calcium deficiency. This mineral is
necessary to regain the proper pH balance.
Osteoporosis, Arthritis - calcium
level is low, then there are possible indicators toward
osteoporosis (demineralization of bone), increased tendency to
bone fractures, dental caries, periodontal disease, muscle
cramps, etc.
Indications of insufficient of Calcium may
be: Acne, Cancer, Arthritis, Cavities, Acidosis, Cataracts,
Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.), Enlarged heart, Asthma,
Fibromyalgia, Bells Palsy, Gallstones, Cramps, High
Cholesterol, Common cold, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome
CHROMIUM
Chromium deficiency is a major factor in
the development of heart disease (heart attacks, hardening of
the arteries). Chromium is stored principally in the kidneys,
spleen and testes, with trace amounts found in the heart, lungs,
pancreas and brain. The body cannot easily absorb chromium if
other minerals are out of balance as well.
Chromium helps the body regulate
metabolism, and regulate insulin and blood sugar levels.
Chromium helps the body lose weight by stimulating enzymes that
metabolize glucose for energy. It plays an important role in the
liver synthesis of fatty acids (burns fat). When the body is
deficient in chromium, twice the amount of time is needed for
insulin to remove glucose from the blood. Chromium enhances
insulin performance and glucose utilization and helps carry
proteins. Chromium works best if taken before meals. Refined
sugar causes the body to deplete chromium more rapidly.
Strenuous exercise can also deplete chromium levels. The elderly
are unable to store as much chromium in the body as are younger
people. The refining of starches and carbohydrates robs foods of
chromium. If you are American you have less chromium in the soil
compared to European soil.
Indications of insufficient of Chromium may
be: Anxiety, Hyperinsulinism, Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D),
Hypoglycemia, Aortic cholesterol plaque, Hyperactivity,
Arteriosclerosis, Impaired growth, Bi-polar disease /Manic
Depressive Illness, Infertility, Decreased sperm count, Coronary
blood vessel disease, Obesity, Depression, Pre-diabetes,
Diabetes, Peripheral neuropathy, High blood cholesterol
COBALT
Cobalt is an essential mineral, although
the body only needs a small amount. Also is another mineral that
will not function without sufficient amounts other minerals in
the body. Cobalt is stored in red blood cells with smaller
amounts in the kidney, liver, pancreas and spleen. Research
indicates that cobalt helps with the repair of the myelin
sheath, increases the effectiveness of glucose transport from
the blood into body cells, and increases the assimilation of
iron and the building of red blood cells. Cobalt is an important
agent of Vitamin B-12; it increases the body's ability to absorb
it. Cobalt stimulates many enzymes of the body and normalizes
the performance of other body cells. Because of its low
absorption rate and high excretion rate, cobalt toxicity is not
common, but an excess can lead to enlargement of the thyroid
gland.
Indications of insufficient of Cobalt may
be: Digestive disorders, Pernicious anemia, Fatigue, Poor
circulation, Myelin sheath damage, MS/Multiple Sclerosis, Slow
growth rate, Nerve damage.
COPPER
Copper is most concentrated in the liver,
heart, kidneys, brain, bones, and muscles and is essential in
the blood. Trace amounts are present in all body tissues.
Without copper iron cannot be assimilated; iron and copper work
together in the formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells.
Various enzyme reactions require copper. Copper increases
healing by increasing the protein metabolism and improves
vitamin C. Low or high copper levels can be found in those with
mental and emotional problems. Copper helps rid the body of
parasites, and is beneficial for graying and thinning hair.
Copper excess is not common because only a small percentage is
assimilated and in those rare instances can present serious
disease states.
Copper insufficiency in the body can
present as Menkes' syndrome. An inherited copper deficiency
occurs in male infants who have with an incidence of about 1 in
50,000 live births. The disorder is characterized by
deficiencies of copper in the liver and serum and, more
significantly, deficiencies of essential copper proteins,
including cytochrome-c oxidase, ceruloplasmin, and lysyl
oxidase. Clinically, the disorder is characterized by severe
mental retardation; sparse, steely, or kinky hair; and a number
of other abnormalities, some of which can be correlated with
deficiencies of specific copper proteins.
Indications of insufficient of Copper may
be: Allergies, Kawasaki Disease, Anemia, Liver cirrhosis,
Aneurysm, Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Oppressed breathing, Dry
brittle hair, Parasites, Edema, Parkinsons Disease, Gulf War
Syndrome, Reduced glucose tolerance, Hernias, Ruptured disc,
High blood cholesterol, Skin eruptions or sores, Hypo and hyper
thyroid, White or gray hair, Hair loss/baldness, Varicose veins,
Heart disease, Wrinkled skin...
GERMANIUM
Germanium is one of the most dynamic new
discoveries of trace elements necessary for optimum nutritional
health. Germanium increases the level of activity of various
organs (facilitates oxygen uptake) and helps to detox harmful
pollutants and arrest germ activity. Germanium posses the
ability to act as an electrical semiconductor, helping correct
distortions in the areas of the electrical fields. Germanium
continues to be researched for all its possible supplementary
applications.
Indications of insufficient of Germanium
may be: Poor immune system creates an atmosphere for Asthma,
Leukemia, Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Neuralgia,
Cardiac Insufficiency, Nephritis, Hypertension, Neurotic
disorders, Hepatic cirrhosis, Softening of brain tissue... It is
believed to act as an anti-cancer agent and is effective for
viral, bacterial and fungal infections.
GOLD
Gold promotes and enhances the body's
natural defenses against illness, and promotes vitality and
longevity. Gold has been found to improve glandular function. It
helps the body to relax. Some people report that after taking
gold for an extended period of time, it raises energy levels. It
is also believed that gold helps repair damaged DNA.
Gold is effective against joint
inflammation and, when used with aspirin for arthritis, relieves
pain, sometimes given in Injectable form for severe arthritis.
Gold is not an analgesic but is believed to have
anti-inflammatory effects.
Indications of insufficient of Gold may be:
Arthritis, Gland dysfunction, Brain dysfunction, Heat flashes,
Chills, Insomnia, Cancer, Joint inflammation, Circulatory
disorders, Night sweats, Depression, Obesity, Digestive
disorders, Seasonal, Affective Disorder (SAD), Drug/alcohol
addiction, Neutralizes fluoride poisoning...
IODINE
Iodine is one of the most vital of the
biochemical elements and called a vibratory of the highest
frequency rates of all the body elements. It mainly affects the
thyroid, which not only controls many important functions in the
body, but also keeps us in a quickened state of health. Iodine
restores heat and assists calcium in the repair and building of
tissue in the body. Iodine is stored mostly in the thyroid, and
in smaller amounts in the muscles, skin, and bones.
The thyroid gland secretes iodine. Hormones
produced by the thyroid regulate and control the metabolism of
the body, increasing the assimilation of salts. They also
control digestion, heart rate, body temperature, nervous system,
reproductive system and body weight. Iodine protects the brain
by destroying harmful toxins and helps neutralize toxins in the
rest of the body. Iodine aids the assimilation of calcium and
silicon. Skin problems such as dry or scaly skin are indicative
of an iodine deficiency. An elevated ongoing intake of iodine
would be required in order to produce iodine toxicity. Allergic
reactions to iodine occur occasionally, manifesting as skin
rashes or acne.
Indications of insufficient of Iodine may
be: Acne, Hyper and Hypothyroidism, Cretinism, Lethargy,
Depression, Miscarriages, Frustration, Scaly or dry skin,
Goiter, Sterility, Infertility, Hormonal imbalance...
IRON
Iron attracts oxygen and builds blood
creating energy in the body. Along with manganese and copper it
is necessary for healthy blood chemistry and is essential for
recovery from illness. It is stored in the blood, bone marrow,
liver, and spleen, with trace amounts in every organ. Iron is
one of the most common deficiencies in men as well as women,
although women require more iron than men because of their
menstrual cycle. Without sufficient iron, the body cannot
manufacture enough new hemoglobin, the red cell protein that
transports oxygen in blood. Iron helps the body rid itself of
carbon dioxide and keeps liver tissue soft.
Iron combines with other nutrients to
produce vital blood proteins and is involved in food metabolism,
digestion, elimination, circulation, and helps regulate blood
pressure. Iron needs the help of Vitamin C to improve iron
absorption.
Anemia, Fatigue / lack of stamina,
Anorexia, Fragile bones, Brittle nails, Growth retardation,
Constipation, Hair loss, Dizziness, Headaches, Depression, Ice
eating (Pica), Dysphasia, Unnaturally pale skin...
LITHIUM
Lithium is one of the better know and
studied trace mineral that is useful in treating alcoholism,
manic depression and mental instability. Unlike our other
mineral waters, lithium could have serious side effects. We
believe that water-soluble ionic lithium does not have the side
effects commonly associated with lithium compounds available
from other sources.
Indications of insufficient of Lithium may
be: Alcoholism, Bi-polar / Manic Depression, Mental
instability...
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is a natural tranquilizer. Known
as an "anti-stress mineral," it aids in relaxing
nerves, relieving tension, assisting digestion, activating
enzymes important for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and
modulating the electrical impulses across all cell membranes.
Magnesium is important in the production
and transfer of energy, muscle contraction and relaxation, and
nerve conduction. It also aids regularity, is necessary to keep
vertebrae in their proper position, induces restful sleep,
purifies and purges body tissues (combats acids, toxins, gases,
impurities, and neutralizes poisons), and lowers fever.
Magnesium is stored in the bowel, nerves and ligaments.
Chlorophyll and green vegetables contain large amounts of
magnesium
Indications of insufficient of Magnesium
may be: Asthma, Malignant calcification of tissue, Anorexia,
Migraines, Cramps, Muscular weakness, Convulsions, Muscle
tremors, Calcification of organs, Muscle tics, Calcification of
small arteries, Myocardial infarction, Depression, Neuromuscular
problems, ECG changes, PMS, Growth failure, Vertigo, Headaches,
Wrinkles, Kidney stones, Heart Disease...
MANGANESE --
Manganese, the "brain mineral,"
is important in the utilization of all mental
facilities/functions. It aids healthy memory and other brain and
nerve impulses. Though only found in trace amounts in the body,
good health is impossible without it. It increases resistance
and recuperative ability and, like iron, aids in oxygen transfer
from lungs to cells.
Manganese strengthens tendons, tissues,
ligaments, and linings in and outside of organs
"If the
human body is well supplied with manganese, various tissues,
cells and nerves are kept
elasticized and strong Manganese makes up part of a molecule
known as mucopolysaccharides, which are used to form collagen,
the strong fibrous connective material that builds tissue, bone,
and cartilage. This mesh of collagen is the framework on which
calcium, magnesium, and other bone hardening minerals are
deposited. Deficiency of Manganese is prevalent in Deafness due
to damage of the cartilage of the ear. Manganese has a positive
effect on the libido by increasing energy levels and the brain's
ability to receive and send messages. It also helps the
reproductive organs to work properly because of its effect on
tissues and nerves. Production of sex hormones is aided by
manganese. It can help reduce menstrual cramps and PMS.
Manganese is stored half in the bones and the remainder in the
liver, pancreas, pituitary gland, and kidneys.
Indications of insufficient of Manganese
maybe: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Deafness,
Nerve problems, Depression, PMS, Gout, Poor muscle
co-ordination, Hearing problems, Retarded growth rate,
Infertility, Ringing in ears (Tinnitus), Lack of concentration,
Stiff tendons, Loss of libido in both sexes, Stuttering, Memory
loss/mental confusion, Tremors, Miscarriages or still births...
MOLYBDENUM
Molybdenum is a little-known, though
essential, trace minerals instrumental
in regulating pH balance in the body. For each pH point increase
(e.g., 6.1-6.2), the oxygen level is increased ten times, thus
increasing the metabolism and enhancing the body's ability to
burn fat.
Although very small amounts are needed,
molybdenum is a vital part of three important enzyme systems and
is necessary for the proper function of certain enzyme-dependent
processes, including the metabolizing of iron. When the iron
stored in the liver is freed, it can then carry oxygen to body
cells and tissue. Molybdenum works in conjunction with the
enzyme systems to help eliminate toxic nitrogen waste by turning
it into uric acid. The uric acid then can be converted and more
easily flushed out of the system.
Molybdenum promotes general well being,
aids in carbohydrate metabolism, has proven itself useful in MSG
(or other chemical) sensitivity, increases libido, and may
enhance the effect of fluorine in tooth decay prevention (dental
enamel is rich in molybdenum). It also induces sleep.
Because of molybdenum's ability to raise
the body's pH, it may be beneficial in the treatment of cancer,
viruses, and parasites.
There is no recommended dietary allowance
(RDA) established for molybdenum, and it is considered safe up
to 15 mg. per day.
Indications of insufficient Molybdenum may
be: Acne, E. coli, AIDS, Eczema, Allergies, Epstein Barr virus,
Anemia, Gout, Anthrax, Gulf War Syndrome, Asthma, Hepatitis C,
Athletes foot, Herpes simplex, Bells Palsy, Impotency,
Bladder infection, Insomnia, Cancer, Liver damage - Cirrhosis,
Candidiasis, Lupus, Canker sores, Lyme's Disease, Cavities,
Multiple Sclerosis, Contrail/Chemtrail exposure, Obesity,
Colds/Flu, Parasites, Depression, Prostate infection, Diabetes,
Ringworm
PLATINUM
Platinum is used in the treatment of cancer
and as a base in some of the chemotherapeutic treatments in
conventional hospitals, in chemical manmade, not natural form.
In the early 1970's, platinum was used in
the dye in x-rays of women's breasts. Breast lumps reportedly
began shrinking and even disappearing after use of the dye. Many
believed the platinum in the dye caused the shrinking and
disappearance. Since then, platinum dye has been replaced with
radioactive dyes? Platinum may be effective in killing disease
causing bacteria, fungus, viruses, and help boost the immune
system.
Indications of insufficient Platinum may
be: Bad circulation, Insomnia, Bluish tint to skin, Intestinal
pain, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Muscle weakness, Diabetes,
Oppressive breathing, Earaches, Pain in the eyes, Edema,
Prolapsed uterus, Headaches, Swollen glands, Heart palpitations,
Tissue anemia, Hypertension, Water retention...
POTASSIUM
Potassium is called the "alkalizer."
It neutralizes acids and restores alkaline salts to the blood
stream. Again a mineral that requires other minerals to be
effective. Potassium works with sodium in all cells including at
nerve synapses to maintain or restore membrane potentials and
assist in metabolic processes. Potassium is critical to
cardiovascular and nerve function, regulating the transfer of
nutrients into cells, and facilitating muscle energy. Potassium
also regulates water balance, assists recuperative powers, aids
rheumatic or arthritic conditions - detoxing acids to leave the
joints and ease stiffness - is vital for the elimination of
wastes, is a natural pain desensitizer, helps control
convulsions, headaches, and migraines, promotes faster healing
of cuts, bruises and other injuries, and generally contributes
to a sense of well being. Potassium is stored in the muscles...
Indications of insufficient Potassium may
be: Bad circulation, Insomnia, Bluish tint to skin, Intestinal
pain, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Muscle weakness, Diabetes,
Oppressive breathing, Earaches, Pain in the eyes, Edema,
Prolapsed uterus, Headaches, Swollen glands, Heart palpitations,
Tissue anemia, Hypertension, Water retention.
SELENIUM
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that
works with Vitamin E in metabolic functions. It promotes normal
body growth, enhances fertility, encourages tissue elasticity
and is a potent antioxidant that naturally reduces the retention
of toxic metals in the body. Selenium is crucial for the proper
functioning of the heart muscle and there is evidence that it
can help the body fight cancer. The people of Norfolk, England,
are said to be among some of the longest-lived. Scientists
believe it is due to high concentrations of selenium in the
soil. A low level of selenium in soil has long been associated
with higher cancer rates. Selenium is stored in muscle and other
tissues, as well as in the liver and kidneys... It also enhances
the effectiveness of vitamin E, known since 1957! Stimulate the
production of immunoglobulins. Known to bind mercury in the
human system, thus not allowing it to be absorbed and pass
harmlessly thru?
Indications of insufficient of Selenium may
be: Age spots, Prostate Cancer, Liver spots, Immune
deficiencies, Alzheimers, Infertility, Anemia, Multiple
Sclerosis (MS), Cancer, Muscular Dystrophy (MD), Cardiomyopathy,
Muscular weakness, Cirrhosis of the liver, Pancreatic atrophy,
Cystic Fibrosis, Pancreatitis, Fatigue, Parkinsons Disease,
Fibromyalgia, Premature aging, Heart disease, Scoliosis, Heart
palpitations, Sickle cell anemia, HIV (AIDS), Sudden Infant
Death, Syndrome (SIDS), Hot flashes...
SILVER
Silver has been used for thousands of years
for health care. It is believed that silver, is a systemic
disinfectant and works like a secondary immune system. Since
silver kills only bacteria that is anaerobic or nitrogen
breathing, the friendly bacteria in the digestive tract are
immune to it due to the fact that they are oxygen breathing,
(aerobic). Silver can also neutralize sodium fluoride poisoning.
Silver is known to kill more than 640 bacterial and viral
infections.
When man began to manufacture antibiotics,
clinical uses for silver as an antibiotic were discarded, but is
now being discovered as the smartest non-mutating antibiotic
thereby preventing mutating mega bacteria.
Indications of insufficient of Silver may
be: Anthrax, Gonorrhea, Athletes foot, Impetigo, Boils,
Infection, Candida, Influenza, Cerebral-spinal meningitis,
Intestinal trouble, Colitis, Pneumococci, Cystitis, Ringworm,
Dermatitis, Shingles, Diphtheria, Staphylococci, Diplococcus,
Tuberculosis, Dysentery, Warts, E. Coli, Whooping cough...
SULFUR
Sulfur is known as a healing mineral. It
aids every cell in the elimination of toxic substances through
agitation. Sulfur aids functions in enzyme reactions and protein
synthesis and is important in cellular respiration. Sulfur is
the flexible bond that connects cells; it is the lubricant found
between joints. A deficiency of water-soluble sulfur can lead to
a variety of conditions.
It is believed that sulfur can repair the
myelin sheath, the protector on the end of every nerve in the
body. Damage to the myelin sheath causes the shaking condition
in palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Lorenzo's Disease and many other
disease conditions where motor functions are uncontrollable.
Chronic or severe allergies to materials
such as dust, pollen, wool, animal hair, feathers, etc. with
symptoms ranging from respiratory congestion to inflammation,
itching, and general discomfort, can be relieved with sulfur. It
increases blood circulation, reduces back pain, relieves
migraine headaches, promotes muscle healing, scavenges free
radicals, beautifies the skin, relieves allergies to food,
controls acidity in stomach ulcers, is important for
carbohydrate metabolism and speeds wound healing. Sulfur is
stored in the brain, nerves, bowel and liver, and in all body
cells, especially skin, hair, and nails.
Indications of insufficient of Sulfur may
be: Arthritis, Infection, Asthma, Migraines, Acne, Muscle pain,
Back pain, Nerve disorders, Constipation, Stress, Circulatory
problems, Skin disorders, Dry skin, Urinary tract disorders,
Free radical damage, Muscle and skeletal disorders,
Inflammation, Wrinkles...
TIN
Tin is concentrated primarily in the
adrenal glands but is also found in the liver, brain, spleen and
thyroid. Tin is found in the tissue and has many chemical and
physical properties similar to those of carbon, silica,
germanium and lead. Tin has been implicated in hair loss and
hearing loss. Little is still known about the functions for tin
in humans.
Indications of insufficient of Tin may be:
Hair loss, Male pattern baldness, and Hearing loss...
VANADIUM
Vanadium regulates the circulatory system,
helps reduce cholesterol levels and buildup in the central
nervous system, lowers elevated blood sugar and is believed to
help reduce the incidence of heart attack. When used in
combination with chromium it is found to be very beneficial in
dealing with mineral deficiencies found in diabetics and
hypoglycemics.
It has been estimated that 80 million
Americans exhibit some of the characteristics of diabetes such
as insulin resistance, excess insulin release, high
triglycerides and high blood sugar. Chronic weight loss or gain,
frequent urination, and chronic thirst are warning signs that
are indicative of the possible onset of diabetes.
It helps reduce cholesterol levels and
buildup in the central nervous system, lowers elevated blood
sugar and is believed to help reduce the incidence of heart
attack. When used in combination with chromium it is found to be
very beneficial in dealing with those mineral deficiencies found
in diabetics and hypoglycemics.
It has been estimated that 80 million
Americans exhibit some of the characteristics of diabetes such
as insulin resistance, excess insulin release, high
triglycerides and high blood sugar, leading this writer to
believe it is simply a total mineral deficiency, caused from the
lack of mineral content in our foods. Chronic weight loss or
gain, frequent urination, and chronic thirst are warning signs
that are indicative of the possible onset of diabetes.
Indications of insufficient of Vanadium may
be: Cardiovascular disease, Infertility, Diabetes, Metabolic
dysfunction, High cholesterol, Obesity, Hyperinsulinism,
Pancreatic dysfunction, Hypoglycemia...
ZINC
Zinc deficiency is common due to depletion
of our soil and losses associated with food processing. Zinc
aids in: the proper assimilation of vitamins, normal growth and
development, maintenance of body tissues, sexual function,
immune system, chemical detoxification, synthesis of DNA, and
helps reduce healing time both before and after surgery. It is
an anti-oxidant, and must be in proper balance to assist some 25
enzymes in various functions involving digestion, metabolism,
and reproduction.
In the 1800's surgeons used zinc as an
antiseptic/antibiotic after surgery and it was noted for its
healing properties. Lack of zinc in pregnant women can result in
numerous birth defects such as: Down's Syndrome, cleft lip,
spina bifida, clubbed limbs, hiatal hernia, and umbilical
hernias. Zinc is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and is found in all
the body fluids, including the moisture in the eyes, lungs,
nose, urine, and saliva.
Because zinc moves through all the fluids
in the body, it creates a defense against infection-causing
bacteria and viruses trying to enter the body and stops
bacterial and viral replication. Zinc is stored in the thyroid,
pancreas, liver, kidneys, bones, voluntary muscles, prostate,
sperm, skin, hair, nails, white blood corpuscles and parts of
the eyes.
Indications of insufficient of Zinc may be:
Angina, Herpes, Alzheimers, Hypertension, Anemia, Hair loss,
Anthrax, Infertility, Alcoholism, Infection, Acne, Libido,
Anorexia & Bulimia, Loss of smell and taste, Body odor,
Miscarriages, Birth defects, Obesity, Cavities, PMS, Crohns
Disease, Still births, Depression, Thyroid disorders, Diabetes,
Urinary tract, infections, Eye diseases, Free radical damage...
