Mineral deficiency symptoms

See previous page
for more info why deficiency symptoms happen!

The link to mineral deficiency symptoms is below.

The mineral deficiency symptoms listed below will happen if our body lacks the essential nutrients it needs to function properly. It can be prevented if our body is given the raw materials it needs to function properly.

You may ask can our body do healing. Yes it does! Remember when you had a cut, say in your finger. You applied medication and bandaged it. In due time the cut healed. Your body healed the cut. This is a simple illustration of our body doing the healing.

Nourish our body with raw materials it needs to allow the greatest physician of all -- our own body, do the healing. But it can do so only when it’s basic nutritional needs are met on a daily basis.

"Learn from these five cultures why they are living healthfully without disease and a common denominator connects them. They are well known for longevity of 120 to 140 years. You may have heard of their names if you have been to alternative health for a length of time.

certain tribes of Tibetans in western China;
the Hunzas in eastern Pakistan near Mount Rekaposhi;
the Russian Georgians of the Caucasus Mountains in western Russia;
the Vilcabomba Indians in the Andes mountains of Ecuador;
and the Titicaca Indians in the Andes Mountains of southwestern Peru."

"They all live in mountain valleys 8,500 to 14,000 feet in elevation and they all get their water from glacial milk (the water that comes from underneath glaciers as they grind up the parent rock of the mountain). This highly mineralized water is white and opague - it looks like milk."

"So they drink it. More importantly, for 2,500 to 5,000 years, they've irrigated their crops with it. So their crops have converted the metallic minerals in the glacial milk into organically bound plant colloidal minerals, the most absorbable form of minerals. Plants are the only living organism that are able to make this conversion."

In summary, these five third world cultures gave the raw materials their body needed that let the greatest physician of all...their own body do the healing -- and it can do so only when it’s basic nutritional needs are met on a daily basis.

Good health is the beginning of everything. Stay healthy and you'll enjoy life more! How? Stay away from aches and pains. A good way to do it is not to start one! Nourish your body to optimum health with 90 essential nutrients.

A good way to take these 90 essential nutrients in our daily diet is through supplementation. This establishes the nutritional foundation missing in most of us. Chances are within the 90 days the body will swing back into balance and begin moving toward health. Prevent the minerals deficiency symptoms and vitamins deficiency symptoms from happening.

Optimize your health by giving your body 90 essential nutrients.

		60 minerals,
		16 vitamins, 12 essential amino acids or protein building block, and
		3 essential fatty acids.

Calcium,

is the most common mineral in the human body. About 99% of the calcium in the human body is found in bones and teeth, while the other 1% is found in the blood and soft tissue. Calcium levels in the blood and fluid surrounding the cells (extracellular fluid) must be maintained within a very narrow concentration range for normal physiological functioning.

Function of Calcium

Chromium,

the two most common forms of chromium are
trivalent chromium (III) - Chromium (III) is the principal form in foods as well as the form utilized by the body. (III) and
hexavalent chromium (VI) - Chromium (VI) is derived from chromium (III) by heating at alkaline pH and is used as a source of chromium for industrial purposes. It is a strong irritant and is recognized as a carcinogen when inhaled. At low levels, chromium (VI) is readily reduced to chromium (III) by reducing substances in foods and the acidic environment of the stomach, which serve to prevent the ingestion of chromium (VI).

Function of Chromium
