Questions & Answers
- - Your body was designed to be healthy. So often we focus on what is unhealthy in the body – what needs to be fixed. The focus is not on how we can get the body healthy and balanced, but how can we fix the immediate problem. Along with this philosophy is the idea of body balance. Realize that it is when the body goes out of balance that disease sets in. Look at this very simple example: When you work late hours, are over stressed, and eat poorly, most of us get sick or extremely run down. Is this surprising? Absolutely not! What is created? A completely unbalanced situation contributes to ill health. The Vitamist products have been formulated in appropriate balance for your body. An excess or deficiency of any one mineral can throw the body out of its delicate health balance. We are “living soil.” Our bodies are made primarily of water and minerals. The biological matrix of our bodies requires that we have the proper balance of minerals for appropriate function and electrical conductivity. The combined factors of nutrient-depleted agricultural soils from centuries of use and synthetic fertilizers forcing crops to grow rapidly with no regard to nutrient absorption, results in foods having very little mineral nutritional value. We believe the criteria for proper utilization of all minerals is dependent on size and solubility, and their impact on the rate of absorption of the mineral. Colloids are the minerals found in the soil in metallic particle form. When a plant grows in the soil, it absorbs minerals and changes them from colloidal form to ionic/water-soluble form. The body cannot properly use colloids in the form found in the soil. Water-soluble minerals, however, are in the proper bio-available form for use by the human body. Just because a mineral is in a colloidal solution does not ensure it will be absorbed correctly. A colloidal solution consists of a mineral particle that is suspended (not water-soluble) between water molecules. Simply put, it is unhealthy for the body to consume solid (non-soluble), metallic particles. Not only is absorption negatively affected, but proper assimilation into the cells is nearly impossible. It is important to note that no matter what the body takes in, its end goal is the same – liquefaction. The challenge with most traditional pill and capsule supplements is their complex state. Due to the manufacturing process of these products, they usually have been processed with intense pressure, heat, paraffin coatings, and fillers. Even colloidal products are not in a pure design. Colloidal products are simply a suspension of small metallic “filings” in water. Due to these properties, these supplements come in a “complex” form for the body to break down. Unfortunately, these states are not the desired form the body wants. For example, you can breathe hydrogen or oxygen, but you can’t breathe water. Although water contains the individual elements of oxygen and hydrogen, they are not in a form the body can use for breathing. The same analogy is true in supplementation. Although a substance may be present in a compound, it does not mean it can be used. In looking to what the body uses and what is found in nature, one finds ionic minerals. In addition, pills and capsules require significant digestion before any type of effective absorption can take place. Due to consumption of foods heavily laden with preservatives, drinking highly acidic beverages such as soda and coffee, exposure to environmental toxins, as well as the normal aging process, the digestive capacity of most individuals is significantly compromised. All together, mineral supplements provided in pill/capsule/tablet form provide fractional benefits to the body at best due to their challenges with both absorption and assimilation in the body. Since colloid particles are far too large for cell assimilation in the body, they will become caught up in the blood stream and subsequently deposited in various parts of the body. Toxic build-up of colloidal minerals (copper, lead, and aluminum, to name a few) is known as heavy-metal poisoning. After a mineral has been processed and then dehydrated, it should form a crystal rather than a metallic particle. It is important to note that any compound when taken in extreme excess can be unhealthy for the body. For example, even water, when taken in massive quantities, can be harmful. When analyzing the toxicity of a product or material, it is important to recall what contributes to toxicity in the body. These being: 1) The inherent properties of the material ingested 2) The dose of the material 3) The rate of absorption by the body 4) The ability of the material to accumulate in the body 5) The rate and ability of the material to be excreted There cannot be a blanket statement to cover all compounds, or even minerals and vitamins. Each respective ingredient has its own “biochemical uniqueness.” Therefore, the US RDA recommends a suggested maximum amount of various substances to be taken each day. All are independently analyzed before we use them. Second, because our products are bioavailable and water soluble, the dosage amount is less. Finally, because of their water soluble nature, they are easily used and excreted by the body. However, all healthcare products should be taken with care. Any material when taken in extreme excess can be unhealthy for the body. Therefore we suggest to always follow the recommended dosages provided. If you wish to deviate from this, we suggest you do so under the care of a medical professional. As with all ingested materials, more is not always better. Taken in moderation, water-soluble minerals pose little, if any, threat of toxicity. Larger doses of water-soluble mineral products should be taken under the advice of a healthcare professional (specifically, iron is an element which should be taken in small doses unless otherwise advised). Minerals are essential to life. However, it is important that we follow nature’s blueprint when it comes to the quantity and frequency of mineral use regarding supplements. There are different types of minerals. One classification is Macrominerals. These minerals are found in abundance in the human body. Examples include calcium, magnesium, and potassium. They are plentiful in the human body and it is difficult to take “too” much of these types of minerals. Another grouping of minerals are Trace Minerals. These minerals are also critical to physiologic function, but their quantity in the human body is much less. This is why they are called “Trace” minerals. As such, it is very important to follow nature’s blueprint when supplementing with these minerals. A few examples include selenium, germanium, chromium, manganese, and zinc. Trace minerals do not exist by themselves, but in relationship to one another. Too much of one mineral can lead to deficiencies or imbalances in another, resulting in poor health. Therefore, when it comes to trace mineral supplementation, it is important to keep the body in appropriate mineral balance, and doing so means not overdosing on trace minerals. It is important to note that any substance when taken in extreme excess can be unhealthy for the human body. Even water when taken in massive amounts can produce undesirable side effects in the body—it can even be lethal. Just think of eating a bowl of strawberries—one is good, but ten will give you an awful stomachache! In addition, it is critical that individuals use good common sense and follow recommended dosages on products. The old saying, “if a little is good, a lot must be better,” is definitely not true when it comes to supplements, especially trace minerals. Traditionally, mineral supplementation has been very safe. However, specific drugs may have specific guidelines for use. It is recommended that before starting any mineral or nutritional program, you check with your healthcare professional for possible interactions. Everyone needs a strong foundation of many minerals and vitamins. The best way to discover your specific mineral needs is to reflect upon your lifetime dietary habits and practices. In addition, look at your current health and those specific physical challenges you may be experiencing. Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins are all organic substances. This means they are all compounds of the chemical element carbon. In addition to these nutrients, the human body requires certain chemical elements in their inorganic forms, or not bound to carbon. These elements in their non-organic forms, or all alone, are classified as dietary minerals. These nutrients participate in a multitude of biochemical and physiological processes necessary for the maintenance of good health. Minerals are essential to every function within the human body. Minerals and trace elements must exist in relative balance in the fluids, cells, organs, and tissues of the body to contribute to human health. Trace minerals do not function well in the body by themselves, but rather, in relationship to one another. For example, too much of one mineral can lead to imbalances in another. The goal is to achieve mineral balance in the body. The best approach is to start with a detoxifying program. This program provides gentle cleansing and assists with detoxifying the body. The second month, a program more suited to individual health needs can be started. The information contained herein is for educational purposes only.
