          Article:   Calcium: The story goes way beyond just building strong bones

Most people think the main reason to take a Calcium/Magnesium supplement is to build strong bones. But the need for Calcium and Magnesium is so much more complex than that. An adequate intake of daily dietary Calcium is required to control the heart rate, blood clotting, muscle contraction, and much more. And Magnesium is an important co-factor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body, contributing to the production of cardiovascular functions, and the production and synthesis of energy.   When your blood calcium drops below 1%......your body sees your bones as an emergency supply of calcium for these life-giving processes and will automatically take what it needs from your bones.... read more

          Article:   Nutrient Robbers To Avoid
There are two major factors that contribute to today’s host of illnesses and diseases...  .our depleted soils, and our everyday eating habits. By identifying and eliminating the nutrient robbers from your diet, you can maximize the absorption and retention of your supplements. Get in the habit of reading labels. Ingredients are listed in the order of their quantity...the first item is the largest quantity and so on. Highly refined foods like white flour and white sugar, because they are un-natural and your body doesn’t know exactly what to do with them, pull nutrients from your system to facilitate their “processing”. So not only are processed foods adding virtually nothing from a nutritional standpoint, they are in many cases, creating unnecessary depletions of valuable nutrients. Following are some specific nutrient robbers that should be avoided. ... read more

 

          Article:   The link between disease and nutritional deficiencies
Insulin Resistance... Knowing whether or not you are insulin resistant may help you deal with many common health conditions:
Insulin, produced and released into the blood by the pancreas, is a master hormone of metabolism.   It affects virtually every cell in the body.  It regulates blood sugar, controls the storage of fat, helps direct the functions of amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates, and it regulates the liver’s synthesis of cholesterol.  It also functions as a growth hormone, affects appetite control, kidney function and much more.  Without it you would die in a matter of days.  But insulin can be a double edged sword... too much of it, on a consistent basis, creates a whole other set of serious problems; by raising blood pressure

          Article:   Why are so many diseases on the rise?

          Article:   Deficiency Diseases - The early warning signs

Unfortunately, because much of our food supply is packed with harmful additives, preservatives, chemicals, and more, it's almost impossible to get the nutrients we need from our food alone...therefore, many are heading for nutrient deficiency diseases and they don't even know it.   
Here are just a few of the diseases and health issues that can be associated with mineral deficiencies:
Calcium Deficiency:
Arthritis, High Blood Pressure, Osteoporosis
Copper Deficiency:
Anemia, Hair Loss, Arthritis, Aneurysms
Selenium Deficiency:
Cancer, Cataracts, Age Spots, Multiple Sclerosis

Gray hair, spider veins, hemorrhoids:
These initial symptoms indicate a breakdown of the elastic fibers inside veins and arteries. Further symptoms could include hair loss, violent behavior, high blood pressure, and learning disabilities.

          Article:   Vitamins Work!  JAMA reports decreased risk with vitamin use

A recent JAMA article confirms that vitamins can ward off chronic disease and urges doctors to encourage patients to take multivitamins daily.  New research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows that deficiencies in key vitamins increase your risk of contracting many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.

  • In America, heart disease causes at least 40% of all deaths.
  • The incidence of congestive heart failure has tripled in the last 15 years.
  • Diabetes affects 16 million Americans. It is the 4th leading cause of death.
  • Asthma increased 75% from 1980 to 1994.
  • Arthritis affects one out of six people in the U.S.
Why are these diseases on the rise?
Are you consuming the recommended five daily servings of fruits and vegetables? If not, you may be among the 80% of all Americans who aren’t receiving sufficient amounts of key vitamins and minerals needed to ward off disease.... read more

 

          Article:   Senate document 264 - our foods no longer contain the minerals required for good health
"Laboratory tests prove that the fruits, the vegetables, the grains, the eggs, and even milk and the meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago", (which doubtless explains why our forefathers thrived on a selection of foods that would starve us).

The alarming fact is that the foods (fruits, vegetables, and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving us - no matter how much of them we eat.  No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because"...
