18 Causes of Mineral Depletion

'Minerals play a critical role in our bodies and they have specific cofactors that help them to work properly so that everything we eat is perfectly assimilated. Mineral deficiency is quite common all over the world, in part because of modern-day living. Our soil has been depleted of minerals, resulting in fewer mineral-rich types of produce on supermarket shelves. Here are 18 common causes of mineral depletion.'

Organic silica: An essential element

 

 Horsetail (Rose Bear Medicinals)

'Every mineral has certain properties that allow our bodies to function properly. Without minerals we cannot survive. They are not only the building blocks of our planet but are also the building blocks of our bodies.

Silica is an essential mineral whose importance has been ignored by most doctors and nutritionists. It was originally thought that silica is at worst an environmental contaminant of the human body and at best an element which quickly passes through the body and is excreted. These ideas were based almost entirely upon observations of mineral silica, which in the form of dust and particles was responsible for a number of serious illnesses such as silicosis.'

Minerals: The Unsung Hero Nutrients

http://www.healthiertalk.com/minerals-unsung-hero-nutrients-4470

'If you take a calcium supplement for your bones and eat a healthy
diet, you may think you’re getting all the minerals you need. But you’d
be wrong!




Now it’s true—calcium is necessary for healthy bones and teeth, blood
clotting, and normal muscle and nerve activity. But it’s only one of
many essential minerals your body needs every day.


Magnesium is another important mineral. It’s involved with more than
325 enzyme reactions in the body. Not only is it necessary for the
normal function of our muscles and nerves, it also works with calcium to
build strong bones.'

Why 95% of Japanese May Not Suffer from Radioactive Iodine Exposure

'I've received many requests from concerned readers, particularly in California, asking for guidance on strategies to help protect against radioactive fallout from the recent nuclear disaster in Japan.
Unfortunately the timing of this, even from a personal perspective, was less than optimal as I was at Expo West and then outside the country for another five days with very poor internet connection and a massive backlog of urgent projects. But even beyond that, this is not a simple issue and I typically take many weeks, more typically months, before I give a recommendation that I can stand behind as there are simply too many variables to carefully analyze.

I realize that many other health sites have been commenting on this but the danger of providing recommendations without detailed analysis is that there is a risk one will not carefully consider the implications of the recommendations.

Nevertheless I am providing you with what I have compiled so far. Please understand that these are only preliminary recommendations that are still pending more careful analysis.'

How Mood, Sleep & Focus Disorders Can be Corrected with Nutrition

 'Dr. Linus Pauling, winner of two Noble Prizes, was among the first American scientists to work in the fields of quantum chemistry, molecular biology, and orthomolecular medicine. He was one of the most influential chemists in history. According to Dr. Pauling, "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency." '

Understanding The Magnesium, Selenium, Iodine and Mercury Connection

'No longer does a balanced and fully nourishing diet consist merely of so many calories or certain vitamins or a fixed proportion of starches, proteins, and carbohydrates. We now know that it must contain, in addition, something like a score of mineral salts.

It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99 percent of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack of one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our lives.'

-Rex Beach

Dr Linus Pauling, twice noble prize winner, said “you can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency”.


By Mark Sircus Ac., OMD,

'There is no disputing the fact that modern pharmaceutical medicine has not solved nor cured any of the modern chronic disease plagues that are morphing out of control into pandemics. What is going on in the areas of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, strokes and neurological disease is painting a horrific image of the failure of contemporary medicine, which seems unable to learn anything about what will make a difference for their patients. They are good to go with words of promise but they don’t deliver and things are only getting worse in terms of public health.'
