"You can't start now
and have a new beginning, but you can start now and have
a new ending! - Are you more concerned about your past

Provides oceanic minerals that are critical in restoring basic
life supporting nutrients. Helps the body effectively feed your
cells and eliminate toxins. Essential in supporting the immune
system and providing trace minerals lost in chemical farming
and environmental pollution.
NOTE: Equally important knowledge is that there are some
harmful minerals that are NOT in Deep Sea Minerals, such as
Aluminum, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury.
Applications
Researchers at the National Health Institute have concluded
that:
| • |
Minerals and
trace elements are important to good health. |
| • |
They are essential
in helping to support the immune system. |
| • |
They can only
be obtained externally - either from food or supplements. |
| • |
Minerals and trace
minerals must be taken in the proper amount, the right
combination, and the appropriate form in order to be effective. |
NOTE: It is a well-known fact that
much of the mineral content in today's food supply has
been lost due to soil depletion, modern chemical farming,
and environmental pollution. Thus, the best alternative
source for mineral nutrients is through dietary supplementation.
Pure, Deep Sea Minerals:
The world's purest ocean minerals and the most bioavailable
mineral source in existence. Extracted from 3,000-foot
deep waters off the coast of Hawaii where there is an
absence of bacteria and pollution, this is the only mineral
source on earth that nearly matches the mineral composition
found in human blood.
Research
The blood system is the center point of health and longevity.
Its balanced function is critical for cellular nutrition
and detoxification as well as maintaining and supporting
the immune system. Sir Alexi Carrel received the Nobel
Prize in medicine for proving that the living cell is
immortal if it is fed the appropriate nutrients and all
toxic waste are removed.
The blood system is binary composed of two parts: (1)
colloidal particles which are suspended in (2) a special
electrolytic or ionic fluid that helps keeps the electrical
charge in colloids within a specific range. Stress in
the form of ionic, electromagnetic or hormonal imbalances
as well as toxins and free radicals in the form of positive
ions can destroy the negative charges on these living
cells.
When the electrical charge in the colloids is reduced,
the cells begin to gel together in different degrees.
Blood viscosity increases, cells lose their independence,
and the system loses the ability to effectively transport
nutrients into cells and remove toxins from the body.
When these conditions persist over a long period of time,
the various body systems begin to function poorly and
the body dies by degrees. What we know as disease is simply
the body's response to the degradation of its efficiency
by these conditions that destroy its electrical charge. |

CHROMIUM: Aids insulin
effectiveness - This element is needed for normal glucose
metabolism, (stimulates enzymes); It is a co-factor for
insulin. Also, Chromium stimulates syntheses of fatty
acids. Some studies link heart disease with Chromium deficiency,
possible atherosclerosis, and glucose intolerance particularly
in diabetics.
COBALT: Forms an essential part of vitamin B12.
Vitamin B-12 and cobalt are so closely connected that
the two terms can be used interchangeably in general reference.
COPPER: Supports iron absorption - This element
is essential for humans and all other vertebrate animals.
Food sources include organ meats, seafood, seeds, nuts
and milk. Some of the Functions of Copper are:
| • |
Facilitates
iron absorption. |
| • |
Involved
in protein metabolism and the healing process. |
| • |
Assists
body to oxidize vitamin C. |
| • |
Necessary
for production of RNA. |
| • |
Essential
in formation of myelin sheath |
Some
of the Deficiency symptoms of Copper are: |
| • |
General
weakness - anemia |
| • |
Impaired
respiration. |
| • |
Skin sores. |
IODINE: Supports hormone synthesis (helps
to regulate many metabolic functions in the body)
- This essential element is required in small amounts.
In developed countries iodized table salt provides
75 mcg per gram of salt. Despite this, deficiency
(Goiter, and Slow mental reactions) is noted in
500 million or more people worldwide because some
soils are depleted or naturally low in Iodine.
MANGANESE: Aids connective tissue formation
- This important element is a co-factor for several
enzymes including hydrolyses, kinases, decarboxylases
and the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase.
Manganese deficiency is enhanced in some individuals
who consume alcohol excessively. Rich food sources
for Manganese include grains, meats, nuts, tea and
leafy vegetables.
Some of the Functions of Manganese are: |
| • |
Proper utilization
of glucose. |
| • |
Lipid synthesis
and metabolism. |
| • |
Cholesterol
synthesis. |
| • |
Normal pancreas
functions and development. |
| • |
Prevention
of sterility. |
Some
of the Deficiency Symptoms of Manganese are: |
| • |
Weakness
of ligaments and tendons. |
| • |
Ataxia -
muscular incoordination. |
| • |
Possibly
diabetes. |
| • |
Possibly
myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis. |

MOLYBDENUM: Forms part of three essential enzymes
and assists in mobilizing iron from the reserves stored
in the liver. Molybdenum appears to have a caries inhibiting
effect.
NICKEL: Activates several enzymes systems and is
highly concentrated in ribonucleic acid. Nickel is essential
for normal growth.
SELENIUM: An Antioxidant - This essential non-metallic
trace element is an enzyme co-factor, for example, as
in glutathione peroxidase (antioxidant). Because it is
associated with protective enzymes, Selenium is thought
to be important in the elimination of oxidants and the
prevention of cellular injury. It has also been observed
for having a protective role in heart disease and cancer.
Selenium occurs in varying amounts in soils and is therefore
present in a variety of food plants.
SILICON: Essential for normal bone growth.
TIN: Required for the body in minute amounts as
a growth factor, but the mechanism is not known.
VANADIUM: Scientists seem to be sure that vanadium
has something to do with preventing cardiovascular disease,
but as yet no precise information has been forthcoming.
It is essential for normal growth and is found most abundantly
in seafoods with herring and sardines having the greatest
concentrations.
ZINC - Supports metabolism - Zinc is one of several
nutrients that boost the immune system and is well known
as a cold preventive.
Some of the Functions of Zinc are:
|
| • |
Necessary for
absorption and activity of vitamins, particularly the
B COMPLEX. |
| • |
Constituent of
over 25 enzymes involved in digestion and metabolism. |
| • |
A component of
insulin. |
| • |
Essential in the
synthesis of nucleic acids. |
| • |
Helpful in healing
wounds and burns. |
| • |
Necessary for normal prostate
function. |
Some
of the Deficiency Symptoms of Zinc are: |
| • |
Increased fatigue. |
| • |
Susceptibility
to infection, slow wound healing. |
| • |
Prostatitis, sterility. |
| • |
Loss of taste
sensitivity. |
| • |
Possibly diabetes. |
