Need for Supplementation

Why You Must Supplement

A common recommendation made by most medical doctors is that in order to get all the nutrients necessary to maintain healthfulness you must on a daily basis eat food from each of the 4 basic food groups (ie. meats and proteins, fruits and vegetables, breads and grains and dairy products). Dr. Joel Wallach challenges this belief when lecturing on health and highlights the reasons why it is practically impossible to get ALL the nutrients (especially the minerals) necessary to prevent chronic diseases by eating food from the basic 4 food groups. Dr. Wallach argues that an unfortunate consequence of the American public's faith in the 4 basic food groups has been a huge increase in the incidence of chronic generative diseases such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, etc. over the past 50 years.


The key points of Dr. Wallach's argument are:

1. There are 90 essential nutrients that the human body need daily.
2. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients can lead to or cause on average 10 diseases. For example, a deficiency in copper can lead to premature gray hair, aneurisms and strokes.
3. The 90 essential nutrients fall into four broad categories: fatty acids, amino acids (most know these make up protein but CANNOT make protein without nitrogen), vitamins and minerals.
4. It is practically impossible to get all of the minerals you need regardless of how well your diet and what you eat.
5. Why is this so? Human beings get minerals from the from the foods we eat. However such foods are grown in soils which are massively deficient in minerals. In fact this is documented by the findings reported in the U.S. Senate Document 264 (back in 1936) and again at the 1992 World Eco Summit in Rio DeJaneiro.
6. Minerals serve as the catalysts for the bodies ability to use amino acids, fatty acids and VITAMINS. So simply put, without minerals NONE of the other nutrients work! (this fact can be found in any medical literature)

Conclusion: You must take mimeral supplements to achieve optimal sustainable health!  

Many Americans already take mineral supllements but most do not realize that there are 3 different types of mineral supplements each varying greatly in their absorbability and their potential to become toxic.

Why Take Mineral Supplements?

Researchers differ on exactly how many essential minerals there are (the general consensus is around 60), but they all agree that a diet which lacks enough of these minerals can eventually lead to disease and death. Unfortunately, minerals don't occur in a uniform blanket around the crust of the Earth, but rather, are found in veins and patches. Since different minerals appear in different concentrations from place to place, there have always been a wide variety of deficiency-related diseases. To eliminate random mineral-deficiency diseases in livestock, the agricultural industry adds minerals and trace minerals to animal feed so that every mouthful delivers optimal nutrition. By contrast, humans have historically been told that "you can get everything you need from your four food groups." Today, people are beginning to realize that this just isn't true. For over 100 years, American farmers have used the simple fertilizer NPK to achieve the maximum yield per acre possible. As a result, our farm and range soils are exhausted of organic material and depleted of essential minerals. It is more important now than ever before to supplement our diets with minerals. Minerals are the basic building blocks of all things, both living and non-living. Their functions in our bodies are critical and are essential for good health. The body utilizes over 60 minerals for maximum function. Because our plants and soils are so nutrient depleted, even if we eat the healthiest foods, we are not getting all the minerals we need. Evidence of mineral malnutrition are various minor and serious health conditions such as energy loss, premature aging, diminished senses, and degenerative diseases like osteoporosis, heart disease, and cancer. In many cases, these could be prevented with proper mineral supplementation. The more you learn about the benefits of minerals, the more control you will have over your own health! Every living cell depends on minerals for proper structure and function. Minerals are needed for the formation of blood and bones, the proper composition of body fluids, healthy nerve function, proper operation of the cardiovascular system, among others. Like vitamins, minerals function as co-enzymes, enabling the body to perform its functions including energy production, growth and healing. Because all enzyme activities involve minerals, they are essential for the proper utilization of vitamins and other nutrients. Nutritionally, minerals are grouped into two categories: bulk or essential minerals, also called macro-minerals, and trace minerals or micro-minerals. Macro-minerals such as calcium and magnesium are needed by the body in larger amounts. Although only minute quantities of trace minerals are needed, they are nevertheless important for good health. Micro-minerals include boron, chromium, iron, zinc, and many others. Three basic classifications of minerals exist. They are "metallic minerals," "chelated minerals," and "colloidal minerals." Metallic minerals are found in their pure elemental form or as salts such as sodium chloride and zinc sulfate. These minerals are similar to the kind found in rocks and soils which are only 8-12% absorbable. They can build to dangerous levels, accumulating in fat, liver and brain tissues. Most tablet form minerals such as Centrum, Theragram and One-A-Day are of this type. A metallic mineral is not organic in nature. Consequently the body has a very difficult time absorbing it and eliminating what it cannot absorb. They are the most commonly used form in nutritional supplements, especially for the essential minerals, because larger amounts are indicated. They are generally the least expensive form of minerals but their primary disadvantage is that their degree of absorption is the least of all three forms. Although they have their place, metallic minerals do not represent the full spectrum of all the trace minerals that are known to be of value in human nutrition. Chelated minerals are the next step up the ladder in so far as the body's ability to assimilate. The term "chelate" originates from a Greek word that means "claw". In this process, be it either in the laboratory or in nature itself, a metallic mineral is "chelated" with an amino acid. The amino acid actually surrounds the metallic mineral like a claw and thereby helps to solubilize it, making the "mineral chelate" more bioavailable or useful to the body. Examples of chelated minerals are the magnesium aspartate (magnesium chelated with the natural aspartic acid) and chromium picolinate (chromium chelated with picolinic acid). In many cases, chelated minerals are about 40% more efficient in regards to absorption and assimilation into the body than metallic minerals.This method patented in the 1970's makes metallic minerals much more absorbable (30-40%) and much less potentially toxic to the body.    Organic Colloidal Minerals-- These minerals have been processed through a plant and have undergone a biochemical transformation which makes them extremely absorbable (90-98%) and nontoxic. Specifically when a mineral is drawn from the soil into a plant via its roots, the process alters the minerals bio-electric charge, changing it from positive to negative. Because the linings of our intestines carry an overall positive charge, a natural magnetic gradient ocurrs causing the mineral to become absorbed into the bloodstream (coloumb force in physics). Metallic minerals on the other hand do not undergo this biochemical transformation and therefore remain positively charged. A positively charged metallic mineral can cause problems for the body. The body is designed to recognize and use minerals in a organic colloidal form and will automatically rid itself of any excess. By contrast, the body has more difficulty recognizing positively charged minerals. As a consequence they accumulate in the bodies to sometimes dangerous levels. This is why metallic arsenic, for example, has been found to be 65 times more toxic than is organically found arsenic.
