Minerals

Page 2: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function.

Page 3: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals are the basic components of all matter. They are built into key enzymes and hormones, and are part

of cells, tissue, bone, blood and body fluids.

Page 4: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Although we Americans have greater abundance, and perhaps a more balanced diet than most of our

primitive forebears, our intake of vital, life sustaining minerals is woefully inadequate. The people of the United States are the best fed, nutritionally starved

people in the world…

Page 5: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Most people today, especially those living in North America, are severely deficient in essential minerals. A number of experts in mineral science, cell physiology,

soil science and cellular biochemistry have linked mineral deficiencies to virtually every illness and

disease known to man.

Page 6: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Through a process called transmutation the human body can produce vitamins, but it cannot produce minerals. Minerals must be consumed, whether

through food or proper supplementation since they are the building blocks the cells utilize to manufacture

vitamins at the cell level.

Page 7: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The very word vitamin is basically an antonym constructed from the first three letters of two other

words - Vital and Mineral.

Page 8: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than

upon calories or vitamins, or upon the preciseproportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates

we consume!

Page 9: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Every reaction and interaction of

organic molecules requires inorganic mineral catalysts and cofactors to

complete.

Page 10: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

They also assist in every aspect of life

from the production of hormones and

energy, digestion, nerve transmission

and muscle contraction, to the regulation of pH,

metabolism, cholesterol, and

blood sugar.

Page 11: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Without these mineral catalysts and cofactors, biochemical reactions can’t reach their end point.

Page 12: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Macro-minerals and trace-minerals supply neither energy nor fuel to the body but are instrumental in

their production and use.

Page 13: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

All the vitamins in the world do us little good without minerals.

Page 14: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless.

Page 15: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals are sometimes called “co-enzyme factors” --because enzymes are basically mineral combinations

in their most basic structures.

Page 16: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Same with amino acids which are hydrogen chains produced by cellular interactions with mineral

TRANSMUTATIONS within the cells themselves.

Page 17: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

There are more than 100 mineral elements found on earth. Four of these, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and

nitrogen, make up 96% of our body.

Page 18: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The remaining 4% of our body is basically made

up, in part, of the other minerals, which are

available to us, and these vary somewhat,

depending on where we live.

Page 19: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Our daily mineral intake is about 1.5 grams–our total intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are about

500 grams.

Page 20: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Thus our mineral intake represents only about 0.3% of our total intake of nutrients, yet minerals are so potent

and so important that without them we wouldn’t be able to utilize the other 99.7% of foodstuffs and would

quickly perish.

Page 21: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

More important than mineral’s role in balancing pH levels, however, is proper cellular hydration. No amount

of minerals can balance pH if the cells are chronically de-hydrated.

Page 22: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

There is a huge gap in knowledge regarding the understanding as to why proper hydration is important

for health, and for competitive success as well.

Page 23: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Humans are water beings. We form during 9 months in a water-filled environment called a womb. Our blood is water based, as is our brains. Without water, minerals

are worthless and vice verse.

Page 24: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

There are seven major minerals. They are calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium and chlorine. Our bodies should contain significant amounts

of each!

Page 25: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Trace minerals, on the other hand, are present in the body in very small amounts. Each makes up less than

one-hundredth of one percent of our body weight.

Page 26: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Rocks are the parent material for soil which is the main source of nutrition for plants, animals and ultimately

humans.

Page 27: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The health and survival of all plants, domestic or wild, depends on the health of the soil and its ability to

provide a constant supply of minerals.

Page 28: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Vitamins, enzymes, hormones, every sub-cellular and chemical reaction, every metabolic cycle requires

mineral cofactors and catalysts, even oxygen itself can not be utilized without mineral cofactors.

Page 29: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

According to science, millions of years ago the soil near the earth’s surface, where our plants are grown, was

saturated with dozens of minerals. At least 84 minerals were available nearly everywhere and some areas of the

planet contained 100 minerals.

Page 30: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

When humans began to till the soil, wind and rain erosion began to take its toll along with continuous cropping, which gradually strip-mined the nutrients

from the soil.

Page 31: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Years ago, humans used to burn wood for cooking and heating.

Page 32: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Ashes contain all the minerals that the tree brought out of the earth through it’s roots.

Page 33: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

People would then deposit the ashes onto the garden.

Page 34: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

When they would grow food, it would contain all the minerals that were added to the soil from the burned

wood from trees.

Page 35: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

When we stopped burning wood and started using coal and electricity, the mineral content of the food

started diminishing and has continued to today.

Page 36: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Soil tests from all over the world have revealed that our soils are severely lacking in minerals, leaving us

with mineral-deficient plants with very little food value.

Page 37: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Most farmers never put back more than 6 minerals. Animals require at least 60 minerals, creating a deficit

of 54 minerals.

Page 38: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Soil depletion is the only reason today’s plants contain no more than 16 minerals, on average, in most of the

food available today.

Page 39: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Man-made, chemical fertilizers, introduced in 1908, upset the delicate balance of minerals and organisms in humus-rich soil by killing off the beneficial bacteria.

Lacking in the naturally occurring minerals, they are less available to plants.

Page 40: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Farmers add 46 billion tons of synthetic fertilizer to their crops annually in an attempt to compensate for the

useless soil.

Page 41: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The more chemical fertilizers are used, the weaker the plants become, the more insects attack, and the more

insecticides have to be used.

Page 42: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Chemical fertilizers also saturate plant roots with too much of one nutrient, making it difficult for plants or crops to pick up and absorb other minerals they need

so much.

Page 43: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Most of the mineral supplement formulations available today contain no more than 10 to 15 minerals because

most are derived from the earth, from ancient sea beds, clay or ground up rock and soil.

Page 44: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

This type of mineral is known as a metallic hydrophobic mineral!

Page 45: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals must be fully assimilated at the cellular level before they can deliver positive benefits to the human

body.

Page 46: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Whether it is a blood cell, a muscle tissue cell, or an organ tissue cell, the mineral MUST eventually

penetrate the cell wall/membrane for the particular mineral to be of any value and to enhance cellular

functions.

Page 47: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

In order for a mineral ion to effectively penetrate the membrane, the mineral must be attached to a pure

hydrogen and oxygen molecule (be completely water soluble) and thus enter the cell via the process of

osmosis.

Page 48: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The type of mineral which comes from a plant has been assimilated or digested by the plant and is known as a

water soluble, plant derived, hydrophilic mineral.

Page 49: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The human body is not designed to absorb or assimilate and use metallic or elemental minerals.

Page 50: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

No more than 5% to 8% of metallic minerals are actually assimilated by the human body.

Page 51: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Some people have healthy hydrochloric acid pH levels in their stomachs that allow them to correctly break

down minerals in tablet form. But most Americans do not have healthy HCL stomach acid levels. (They are

chronically de-hydrated).

Page 52: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Therefore, they do not have healthy digestive enzyme levels which are needed to further break down the

mineral chelates into angstrom-sized individual ions for complete cellular ingestion and homeostasis.

Page 53: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

If there is insufficient digestive acid in the stomach, even plant-derived minerals are poorly assimilated and

deficiencies may develop quite rapidly.

Page 54: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

When the hydrochloric acid in our stomach isn't strong enough to dissolve these metals during the short 15 to

21 hour digestive cycle,

Page 55: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

the balance, or up to 92%, merely passes through the waste system without benefit.

Page 56: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The people who need minerals the most are typically the people who cannot efficiently digest minerals in any

other form - and a vicious, cruel cycle often results in chronic, often debilitating illness and the victim is

convinced that they must take pharmaceutical chemical drugs for life to help with the symptoms.

Page 57: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

You could not live on soil or ground up rock, because it is not alive or enzymatically active like plant derived

minerals from raw plants.

Page 58: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Chelated minerals were developed in the laboratory. This process involves wrapping amino acids or protein around metallic minerals to help the body metabolize

them.

Page 59: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

But, this form of minerals has at best only a 40% assimilation. Chelated or not, they are still metallic

minerals.

Page 60: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

It is best to add minerals to the soil, and eat the plants grown on it, rather than ingesting colloidal minerals in

their "raw" state.

Page 61: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Microorganisms act as an interface at the plant roots, ingesting minerals and altering them to a form that plants can use, then plants bio-transmute them to a

form we can use.

Page 62: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The Spark of Life

Page 63: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Raw materials are required by all living organisms. The obvious raw materials to sustain life, maintain and

repair tissues and organs, support reproduction, and support longevity, are oxygen, water, and food. Food

is the variable.

Page 64: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Boyd Odell, a professor in agricultural biochemistry, created spina bifida in laboratory animals in 1956 by feeding the pregnant mothers with diets deficient in

zinc, vitamin B12, and folic acid.

Page 65: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

We can prevent up to ninety-eight percent of the birth defects in animals by supplementing the female with

the proper nutrients prior to conception.

Page 66: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

In most instances, “genetic defects” are simple mineral deficiencies that leave a repeatable “fingerprint” on a

specific gene, in a specific location, on a specific chromosome.

Page 67: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

They are no more complicated in concept than a deficiency of zinc resulting in a cleft palate or spina

bifida in a farm animal.

Page 68: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

These minerals attached to the DNA molecule are known as “metallic fingers” and are essential to the

function and repeatability of DNA to RNA to structural or enzymatic protein.

Page 69: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Mineral deficiencies are the root cause of most diseases mistakenly thought to be “genetically

transmitted.”

Page 70: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals are a key component of lessening cellular stress, and balancing pH levels.

Page 71: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Calcium deficiency alone can result in as many as 147 different diseases, ranging from osteoporosis,

osteoarthritis, osteomalacia, degenerative arthritis, Bell’s Palsy, tinnitus, trigeminal neuralgia, and spinal

stenosis to name a few.

Page 72: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Electrolytes

Page 73: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Electrolytes begin as minerals—the inorganic, hard rock of our planet. Of the major types of nutrients—mineral,

carbohydrate, protein, and oil—minerals came first.

Page 74: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

They existed on Earth before plants or animals—before sugars or amino acids.

Page 75: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

These simple elements can’t be synthesized by plant, animal or human, but must be consumed from plants

that get them from the dust and stones in soil.

Page 76: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

There are no substitutes for these essential elemental nutrients.

Page 77: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Biology turns stones into bones. Our human body is 99.5% hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen—only four light-weight

elements.

Page 78: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The other 0.5% is 20 other elements, most of which form our hard, dense skeleton.

Page 79: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

We can’t live without minerals, which must be supplied continuously by

food.

Page 80: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals are metallic elements, but most metals have so much charge, they are rarely found as pure elements.

Page 81: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Instead, they readily react chemically with other atoms to form oxides, chlorides, sulfides, sulfates,

silicates, carbonates, etc. Thus, metal becomes mineral as the first step to becoming biology.

Page 82: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The metal atoms in minerals are the centers of charge in large molecules that form cells and living tissues.

Page 83: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The metal elements coordinate and direct the flow of electrons, reactions between atoms, strength of

membranes, and action of enzymes in biological life.

Page 84: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

An electric current is a stream of electrons through subatomic space. Copper is the conductor of choice for

electricity, although other metals will work, too.

Page 85: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

A spark is a burst of this electric fire made visible in a massive discharge of electrons in air—miniature

lightning.

Page 86: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Earth itself spins inside a huge electromagnetic field. Every living thing participates in this electromagnetic

activity.

Page 87: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Some of that charge is transferred into our body when our naked skin touches moist Earth or bare rock.

Modern humans are missing this daily experience of being grounded in direct electrolytic link to moist soil.

Page 88: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Atoms react chemically by exchanging electrons. How atoms share, pair, pass around, circulate, and store

electrons decides how ions form, atoms bond, molecules are made, carbons chain, cells sing, and hormones ring.

Page 89: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

An ion is an atom that gains or loses one or more electrons.

Page 90: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Since such an atom then has an excess or shortage of electrons in outer orbitals circling around the nucleus, an ion has electric charge. This gives ions the essential

energy needed to power chemical reactions.

Page 91: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Some elements—mostly metals—easily release electrons to have a positive charge: a cation (+).

Others capture extra electrons to acquire negative charge: an anion (-).

Page 92: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

For example, Sodium (Na), one of the lightest metals, easily gives up the single, unpaired electron in its

outer-most orbital to become a cation (Na+).

Page 93: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

But its positive charge is so strong that it rapidly reacts and bonds with other atoms.

Page 94: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

We seldom encounter sodium as pure metal, only as its mineral salts. So too, most metals react with

oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, etc., to become minerals.

Page 95: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

These crystal chemicals become Earth’s bedrock, boulders, stone, soil, sand, silt, salt, clay, dirt, and dust.

Page 96: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Salt of the Earth

Page 97: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

An electrolyte is an ionic substance which dissolves in water. These ions-in-solution are valuable for their

effects on water’s electrical properties.

Page 98: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Most often, they increase water’s ability to pass an electric current, or store electric charge.

Page 99: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Simple electrolytes can be three types: acid (+), base (-), or salt (+ and - or neutral).

Page 100: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

In this most fundamental reaction, acid and base unite to form salt and water.

Page 101: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Acid and base are polar, with opposite ionic charge, but salt—with both cations and anions—is neutral.

Page 102: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Salt is chemical fire. Its corrosive appetite is fed—not by wood or coal—but by metals, whose exchange of

electrons fuels chemical reactions.

Page 103: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Every enzyme requires an electrolyte as its key component. Without this electric spark, there can be

no taste, or smell, or sight. No sensation, or motion, or light. And no life.

Page 104: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Even slight alterations in concentrations of ionic chemicals in our body fluids will disturb vital cell

functions.

Page 105: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

For example, low potassium ions cause general muscle paralysis, while high levels create weak, irregular

heartbeats.

Page 106: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Therefore, our body has evolved with multiple methods to maintain stable, constant levels of electrolytes in

blood, lymph and all other body fluids.

Page 107: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Biological Plasma

Page 108: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

A primary purpose of kidneys is to balance electrolytes in blood. This pair of organs filters blood to neutralize excess acid and alkali, then excrete them as salts and

water in urine.

Page 109: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

In essence, kidney function is electric, not merely chemical.

Page 110: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals are transformed into a special state by bacteria, and acquire an added energy force. If you try

to measure it, it’s not detectable.

Page 111: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

This force isn’t a mystery, but is subtle beyond man’s most sensitive instruments; it is measured as parts per million of H+ ions, and is rated on a 0-to-14 logarithmic

scale in which 7.0 is neutral.

Page 112: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals change form to become energized like plasma—living water, in complex, stable, yet changing states

of charge.

Page 113: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The medical term for the fluid in blood is plasma. And in physics, plasma is the fourth state of matter—an

ionized, electrified state.

Page 114: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Each cell is a tiny drop of water enclosed in a bubble of oily membrane. A cell membrane is a very thin film—a

double layer of lipids—of fatty acid hydrocarbons—reinforced by cholesterol, collagen and proteins.

Page 115: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Lipids form a very minute, positively charged, barrier that insulates water inside a cell from waters all around

it.

Page 116: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The process of getting nutrients absorbed into cells—across the cell wall matrix—is termed biovection.

Page 117: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

This cell wall also blocks movement of electrons and ions. So a cell can store an electric charge.

Page 118: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Each cell is a biological battery! The force between the inside and outside cell wall is a liquid pressure that’s

sustained by electrolytes.

Page 119: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals are needed to keep this battery in a cell going, and to enable cells to hold a charge.

Page 120: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Without minerals—without the right electrolytes in correct ratios—cells can’t maintain this inner-outer

pressure, they weaken, become vulnerable to parasites—even die. The cell membrane is a key element in

immunity.

Page 121: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

If our body was a car, electrolytes would be the battery and sparkplugs. A car won’t run without a battery and

sparkplugs.

Page 122: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Without these living waters, we can’t be healthy. And if we don’t recharge our biological battery, we’re as

worthless as a car with a dead battery.

Page 123: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Electrolytes supply the spark of life to cells. They aren’t fuel that is burned to provide power. Rather, like a spark in a car engine, they are the electric fire that

ignites every chemical reaction in a cell. They deliver electrons where needed for reactions, and store charge

between events.

Page 124: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Electrolytes strengthen every cell, gland and organ, do many important things, and make everything work

better.

Page 125: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Electrolytes sustain the most critical chemical balance in the body: pH—the acid-base balance. This delicate

chemical condition determines how electrons are available for reactions.

Page 126: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Too much positive charge from acids (+) creates an inability to circulate electrons. Excess anions (-) of an

alkaline state will overcharge a cell or organism.

Page 127: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Life is a balancing act, so most biological processes need neutral—or slightly alkaline—pH to assure a

steady supply of electrons.

Page 128: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Our blood remains very close to 6.45 pH, and if it changes by 0.1, we can die. Electrolytes not only help

restore neutral pH balance, they also act as buffers that resist any change in pH.

Page 129: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The neutral factor means that if we eat something that’s too acid or too alkaline, our body can prevent a

change in pH. A healthy body with electrolytes will temporarily neutralize these extremes.

Page 130: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Like trees dying on high mountain tops from acid rain, intestinal microflora wilt and weaken if the pH of their

environment changes. When the pH of cell water becomes too acid, proteins change their shape, and

many enzymes no longer function.

Page 131: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Much modern illness is due to disturbed pH. Infections, yeasts, parasites, and worms all thrive in acid pH.

Page 132: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Cancer and arthritis are two of many everyday diseases encouraged and aggravated, if not caused by inability to sustain stable, neutral pH, and thus cell membrane integrity. Chronic excess acids force our body to use

calcium stored in teeth and bones to neutralize acids.

Page 133: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Our poor, depleted soils can’t supply minerals needed for electrolytes, while refining and processing remove

even more minerals, so we can’t generate the electromagnetic charge.

Page 134: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

No matter how much supplement we take, calcium can’t adhere to bone matrix without this

electromagnetic force.

Page 135: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Cell Membranes

Page 136: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

A cell’s most critical chore is to maintain the integrity of the cell membrane—the inner-outer pressure balance

at a cell wall to separate cell from not-cell.

Page 137: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

This double-layer of lipids is in constant motion, fed by electrolytes.

Page 138: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

A strong membrane is a cell’s first line of defense—the frontline of the immune system. Without electrolytes,

this barrier can’t be sustained; it weakens, and an unwanted substance can invade the cell.

Page 139: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Trace element electrolytes are key catalysts in thousands of enzymes needed by cells to make amino

acids, proteins, and other organic molecules.

Page 140: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

When electrolytes form, they generate more electro-chemical activity, attract more minerals, and capture

more charge.

Page 141: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Charge control is the key to enzymes that allow biochemical reactions to occur rapidly, selectively, and

precisely.

Page 142: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Electrolytes are also critical to nerves—both individually, and for the collective coordination of the

entire nervous system.

Page 143: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Nerve impulses are transmitted as an exchange of sodium and potassium ions at the nerve membrane.

Page 144: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

A nerve membrane is encased in long tendrils of protein with a calcium ion attached at the end of each

strand. Without this impulse of ion fire, there can be no taste, no smell, no sight, no sensation, and no

awareness.

Page 145: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Hormones, vitamins and enzymes, which activate, regulate and synchronize nerve action, all require a

mineral ion as a key element in their reactive structure, and for their synthesis.

Page 146: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Electrolytes are the key to unlock energy flow in a cell. They strike the sparks of electric fire that make life

happen.

Page 147: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Even the Bible says we are born out of the dust of the Earth—the minerals.

Page 148: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals are absorbed best when they are dissolved in water.

Page 149: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Our body is around 75% water by weight, most of which is lymph fluid. Our organs and glands float in this

internal ocean, whose chemical composition and ion concentrations are carefully controlled.

Page 150: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water is the medium in which all biochemical reactions occur. Most nutrients are dissolved in water.

Page 151: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water liquefies food to carry nutrients through intestines where they are absorbed into the

bloodstream and lymph.

Page 152: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Wastes from cells are dissolved in water and collected by blood to excrete as urine and sweat.

Page 153: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water regulates body temperature by absorbing heat released by cell metabolism. Skin secretes water as perspiration, and then heat transforms it to vapor,

cooling the body.

Page 154: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Animals on starvation diets still survive, even after losing all stored fats and carbohydrates, and half their protein. But loss of 10% of their water is very serious,

and 20% loss usually results in death.

Page 155: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

So water must be consumed steadily to prevent dehydration, and maintain fluid, electrolyte and pH

balances.

Page 156: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Sugar—the universal fuel of biology—is simply water and carbon dioxide: carbohydrate.

Page 157: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water is the routine by-product of biosynthesis, such as turning sugars into starch, amino acids into protein, or

fatty acids into lipid. All are acid-base reactions that yield salt and water.

Page 158: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

But most critical—and least understood—is water’s ability to transmit energy.

Page 159: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

In cells, energy is found, not only a current of electrons, but magnetic flux—and these properties are altered by

electrolytes.

Page 160: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water isn’t merely a medium for electrolytes to dissolve and form. Water becomes part of the electrolytes themselves, held together by an

electromagnetic charge created by rock enzymes.

Page 161: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Cell protoplasm—like the rest of the body—is mostly water, but not ordinary water. This water has certain

ions added in careful, precise amounts, and then electromagnetic charge is imparted.

Page 162: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

This force imposes definite yet subtle order to water molecules. Cell biology calls fluid inside a cell

membrane gelatinous—leaving this mystery murky and amorphous.

Page 163: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Trace elements are the proverbial needle in a haystack. They are just as essential as carbohydrates and protein,

but needed in minute amounts.

Page 164: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

We need little more than a millionth of an ounce of iodine, but if it’s lacking, goiter develops from a

dysfunctional thyroid.

Page 165: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

A cell wall can’t have elasticity unless it has a bit of silica. As we get older, lack of silica causes skin to

harden and age rapidly. But with silica, people’s skin stays tougher, and looks younger.

Page 166: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water’s tiny electric dipoles give it remarkable power to dissolve other substances—especially ionic

substances—and to hold them in dynamic suspension, floating in fluid mobility.

Page 167: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The electric poles of H2O molecules attract, attach and hold other ionic or polar chemicals, and, in their

constant motions, carry them off, thus disassembling them.

Page 168: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

In a solution, minerals—because of their higher mass and stronger electric charge—are the centers of

electromagnetic force. Other molecules gather around these focal points of force, and tend to form stable

configurations.

Page 169: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The mineral imposes a definite geometry and order to water. Even when fully dissolved, the crystalline

geometry of salt’s ionic charge imparts order to moving water molecules.

Page 170: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The presence of mineral ions alters the angles of water’s lattice, warping and bending the water

molecules’ organization to accommodate the strong ionic charge.

Page 171: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Such slight shifts in geometry can alter water’s physical properties, such as melting and boiling temperatures,

and chemical reactivity.

Page 172: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Minerals provide strong electromagnetic charges to hold organic molecules in tight, stable association. This also boosts water’s capacity to conduct electric current.

Page 173: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The bipolar geometry of water is not only electric, but magnetic. The outer electrons of the hydrogen-oxygen

bonds are in orbital spin, and a moving charge generates a magnetic field, just like the Earth.

Page 174: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

So this tiny dipole also has a minute magnetic field around it.

Page 175: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

This makes each water dipole a tiny magnet, and makes water very sensitive to magnetic-fields, especially when

it has minute amounts of trace elements added to it.

Page 176: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

So, when water whirls, its tiny dipole magnets tumble around each other.

Page 177: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

In a cell or your bloodstream—water generates an electromagnetic force.

Page 178: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Spinning water in a vortex creates a kinetic energy—the energy of motion, or momentum. This energy

creates a special state of charge.

Page 179: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Moving water has a detectable, if minuscule, energy field—especially if it contains the proper percent of

metal ions.

Page 180: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water’s energy of motion is captured by the molecules as increased electron spin. Water’s swirling kinetic

energy is absorbed and entrained as resonant atomic energy.

Page 181: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

This higher spin energy increases hydrogen-oxygen attractions between adjacent water molecules. This

causes water to hold more tightly together.

Page 182: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Charging water alters the angle between the hydrogens in the molecule. The hydrogen-oxygen bond is slightly

flexible, and the angle can vary up to 10 degrees.

Page 183: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

As orbital electron spin increases, the hydrogens draw tighter, closer together and the angle between the

hydrogens decreases.

Page 184: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The water inside a cell membrane is as orderly as possible.

Page 185: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The water is still a freely flowing fluid, yet, like ice, has a stable, orderly molecular structure, but is still not

frozen in a rigid, hard solid state. It is a liquid crystal. Crystalloid is the actual form the electrolytes are in,

which is a very, very minute particle structure.

Page 186: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water molecules in a liquid crystal state move and dance around, yet retain an overall geometry and

synchrony in their motions. But unlike humans, water doesn’t dance in lines or squares, but in circles,

spinning spirals into 3-D lattice arrays.

Page 187: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Water in this state is much more orderly than ordinary water. It has a capacity to hold a stable shape, even though individual water molecules dance in, out and about the pattern. Individual water molecules remain

in free motion, but their collective movement retains a fixed order.

Page 188: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Living cells prefer this liquid crystal water to pack inside a cell membrane to make protoplasm. In this form,

water and minerals pass easily through cell membranes, and soft tissues.

Page 189: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Physical chemistry is no longer sufficient to explain the workings of cell, body or brain. Today, a new

consciousness is awakening in the public, ready to accept the truth that health is founded on nutrition, and rooted in our soils, and depends on the dance of

fire and water.

Page 190: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The Human Crystal

Page 191: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Our physical structure can be seen as a series of synchronous, interacting crystal structures. Oscillating solid and liquid crystals form an overall energy pattern

for the total body, linking the body on this level.

Page 192: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Each organ, gland, nerve system, cell and protein structure–even the tissue salts in the body–shows a

level of organization with some degree of crystalline-like function.

Page 193: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The human energy field exists as an array of

oscillating energy points which have a layered

structure and a definite symmetry.

Page 194: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

These properties fulfill the definition of a normal crystal in material form.

Page 195: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Our bone structure has long been recognized as a solid crystal structure with piezoelectric properties. A

piezoelectric effect is the creation of an electromagnetic field pulse when a crystalline structure is physically stressed or pushed out of its normal shape.

Page 196: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

As a solid crystal, it has the ability to convert vibrational energy, such as sound or light, into

magnetic and electric energy.

Page 197: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Crystals can absorb, store, convert, amplify, transduce and transmit vibrational energies, which have

biological effects.

Page 198: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

When physical stress or an electromagnetic field is applied to a piezoelectric crystal, the crystal will change

shape and generate an EMF. Bone, quartz crystal and tourmaline are among the few crystal forms with

piezoelectric properties.

Page 199: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The crystalline-like components of the extracellular matrix of bone, such as collagen and proteoglycans,

possess piezoelectric qualities.

Page 200: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Mineralized tissue such as cartilage, dentin, teeth in general and relatively non-mineralized tissues such as keratin in skin, elastin, artery tissue, connective tissue (tendons and ligaments), and even some amino acid crystals (glysine, proline and hydroxyproline) all have

piezoelectric properties.

Page 201: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The main forces, which create pulsed piezoelectric EMFs in bone, are the anti-gravity muscles, the

cardiovascular system, voluntary muscles, and impact with the environment.

Page 202: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Projected EMFs have the ability to create a piezoelectric response in bone. These EMFs have

biological activity.

Page 203: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

These piezoelectric fields affect: cell nutrition, local pH control, enzyme activation and suppression, orientation of intra and extra cellular macromolecules, migratory and reproductive activity of cells, synthetic capacity

and specialized function of cells, contractility and permeability of cell membranes, and energy transfer.

Page 204: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Another type of electric or electromagnetic field response is also found in bone structure, called

streaming potentials, an electrical field created by the flow of ions, charged solutes, and cells such as red blood cells, through the tissues, carried by extra

cellular fluids such as blood through the extra cellular matrix.

Page 205: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

When the bone is even subtly bent from pressure by such events as walking or even by the pulse of our

arteries, the extra cellular fluids are pumped through the bone. An electrical charge is created as a result of the electrostatic interaction of the electrically charged

fluids moving past the fixed charge in the crystalline bone structure.

Page 206: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

These electrical fluids can also interact with the piezoelectric fields of the bone.

Page 207: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

There are other forms of crystalline-like systems in the body, and one of the most important is the liquid

crystal.

Page 208: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

A liquid crystal is technically defined as having form, liquid properties, stored information and a measurable

electromagnetic field. A liquid crystal can act simultaneously as liquid and crystal.

Page 209: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The larger liquid crystal systems include fatty tissue, muscle and nerve tissue, the lymphatic system, white

blood cells, and the various pleural and peritoneal linings.

Page 210: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Muscle and nerve tissue exist as liquid crystal systems held in shape by bone and skin systems.

Page 211: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The muscles have also been shown to have some piezoelectric properties.

Page 212: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

On a cellular level, all cells and cell membranes are considered liquid crystals. These include the plasma membrane, mitochondrial membrane, smooth and

rough endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear membranes and chloroplast membranes.

Page 213: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Bodily fluids also have crystal qualities.

Page 214: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

A water molecule contains the potential forms of all crystals in its primary form of a tetrahedron. Water can bring all different forms of ions into a crystalline state

and hold them in solution.

Page 215: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

The more structured the water is, the higher concentration of ions it can hold.

Page 216: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

One of the most important ion solutions is the dissolved cell salts.

Page 217: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

When the body cells and tissues become diseased or cancerous, the crystalline protein structures no longer have the proper configuration to maintain the water in

a structured state.

Page 218: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Ions and other solutes in the cell consequently become redistributed by the new pattern of unstructured

water.

Page 219: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

If the water in the cell, extra cellular fluid or blood plasma becomes structured, it will then be able to

attract and hold more ions by virtue of its hydration shell patterns.

Page 220: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

Identical crystal resonant fields emanated by micronutrients are attracted to larger resonant fields

emanated by the organism’s larger crystalline and liquid crystalline patterns.

Page 221: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function

This explains how micronutrients, homeopathic remedies, etc., through vibrating crystalline fields, are drawn to the appropriate resonating crystalline sites.

Page 222: Minerals. Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function
