Most
people who are malnourished don't even realize that they are. The
truth is that malnutrition is prevalent in our society. In fact, in
a US Department of Agriculture survey of over 20,000 people, researchers
found that only 1 out of 10 got the minimum RDA for seven essential
nutrients. There are several reasons for this epidemic of malnutrition.
First of all, as a society, we eat very poorly. We always eat on the
run, we don't properly chew our food, and our diet consists mainly
of processed, fried, and sugary foods. It seems like a lot of North
Americans think the four food groups are chocolate, soda pop, chips,
and pizza.
Even
if we try to eat the right foods, we're presented with challenge of
eating fruits and vegetables that come from depleted soils. According
to the Encyclopedia Of World Problems and Human Potential the productivity
of roughly one-third of the world's crop land had fallen dramatically
by the 1980's. Spinach, for example, has only two percent of the iron
that it had 60 years ago. What this means is that the foods we rely
on to give us nutrition are not doing the job they are supposed to.
Another
factor contributing to our malnutrition is the fact that our food
doesn't have the proper enzymes. Enzymes are necessary to fully break
down nutrients and make them usable in our body. Unfortunately, when
food is cooked or processed the enzymes are destroyed. This means
that whatever nutrients the food we eat does provide are not properly
assimilated by our digestive system. Many people lack the enzymes
to do the job and benefit from proper enzyme supplementation.
The
final factor contributing to our malnutrition relates back to the
colon. If we are not eliminating properly, waste can build up in the
colon and coat the intestinal walls. This makes it all the more difficult
to absorb nutrients as they have to pass through a barrier of toxic
waste.
Todays
soils are depleted of nutrients
Today's
modern family finds it a challenge to not only eat right, but to also
obtain the true nutrition that they think they are obtaining from
their foods. Commercially available synthetic or rock-based supplements
are chiefly undigested by the body... and simply flushed away. The
scientific secret to vitamin & mineral absorption, is in the fact
that our bodies are designed to best absorb plant-sourced nutrients
(studies prove a 98% absorption rate - as opposed to 10% for rock-based).
The key factor, is in taking a true plant-derived mineral supplement.
The
basic functions of life cannot be performed without minerals. Simply
said, minerals are the currency of life. There are 75 metals listed
in the periodic chart, all of which have been detected in human blood
and other body fluids - we know that at least 60 of these metals (minerals)
have physiological value for man. Organically not a single function
in the human body can take place without at least one mineral or metal
cofactor.
As
far as supplements go, vitamins have historically 'gotten the glory'
and minerals were mere stepchildren in the Muliple Vitamin - as everyone
always asks, "Did you take your vitamins today?" Of course they really
mean, "Did you take your multiple vitamins and minerals today?" Minerals,
however are in fact required by any and all body functions from the
basic subcellular molecular biological 'metallic fingers' of RNA and
DNA to electrochemical, catalytic, structural, reproduction, maintenance,
repair and a plethora of miscellaneous functions. As important as
minerals are to human flesh and the very existence of man, human-kind
has rather placed more value on material possessions and wealth than
on our metabolic need for minerals.
The
mineral depletion of our soils and foods is not new news. In fact
official warnings have been declared by the government since 1936.
The U.S. Senate Document #264, published by the 2nd session of the
74th Congress stated the following:
"Most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies
which cannot be remedied until the depleted soils from which our foods
come are brought into proper mineral balance. Foods, fruits, vegetables,
and grains are now being raised on millions of acres of land that
no longer contains enough of certain needed minerals, are starving
us - no matter how much of them we eat. Leading authorities state
that 99% of the American people are deficient in these minerals,
and that a marked deficiancy 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 might be, and we sicken, suffer, and shorten our
lives. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals;
but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless."
According
to the World Health Organization, the United States spends more money
than any other nation in the world on health care; yet 36 other nations
are ranked higher than it in terms of quality of health.
It
is projected that by the year 2100 there will be more than 12 billion
people on the Earth. There is seemingly no way that our farm soils
can sustain the nutritional value of our soils, our foods, or ourselves.
Genetic engineering, better varieties of grains, rice, and corn, and
perhaps even better fertilizer will produce more tons and bushels
of crops that are tastier and have longer shelf life - but they will
not adequately sustain us.
The
earth has become anemic. In short this means we can no longer get
the 60 nutritional minerals we need from our food. We must consciously
supplement our daily intake of food with the lacking 60 nutritional
minerals or poor health and disease are certain resultants.
What can
be done about it?
The answer
is in dietary supplementation!!!
But beware, not all supplements are created equal...
The scientific
secret to mineral absorption, is in the fact that our bodies are designed
to best absorb plant-sourced nutrients (studies prove a 98% absorption
rate - as opposed to 10% for rock-based). Toxic, inorganic metallic
and rock-based minerals are being sold to an unsuspecting public.
The key factor, is in taking a true plant-derived mineral supplement.
'Humic
shale' is a unique source of plant-derived colloidal minerals. Humic
shale originated from plants some 75 million years ago. Those lush
tropical plants took up the 60 plus metallic minerals available to
them from the a fertile soil that had as many as 84 minerals. Humic
shale is like the floor of a forest, very compacted dry leaves and
sticks. The consistency is like dried saltine crackers or very dry
oak leaves. Put them into your hands and rub them together, and it
all crumbles into a real fine dust.
A
volcanic eruption covered these mineral-rich forests with a thin layer
of mud and ash, thick enough to create an air-tight 'vault' and dried
or dehydrated the plants into a deep accumulation of 'hay', but not
deep enough or heavy enough to pressurize the dried plant material
into coal or oil. The entombed humic shale never fossilized or petrified,
in other words they never became rocks - just compressed, dried prehistoric
'hay' that contains large amounts of plant-derived colloidal minerals.
It
takes 78 pounds of humic shale to reach the optimum concentration
of 38 grams of colloidal minerals per liter; the 78 pounds of humic
shale represents approximately 1034 pounds of lush prehistoric green
mineral rich plants. The fluid extract of high grade humic shale contains
no less than 60 plant-derived colloidal minerals and is 98% bio-available
for both animals and humans.
InnerStrength
is a 100% plant-sourced dietary supplement that is solely composed
of colloidal minerals extracted from perhaps the earth's largest,
most purest humic shale vein discovered. These rare colloidal plant
minerals are extracted with pure, cool clear water to the desired
concentration and then processed through a complex array of special
filters to allow only the organic colloidal minerals in the final
solution. There are no preservatives or synthetic substances added.
Another
key ingredient in the composition of the InnerStrength formulation,
is the use of certified active aloe vera. "Certified Active" Whole
Leaf Aloe Vera Concentrate is the highest quality optimum potency
Aloe Vera juice available anywhere. This is the Aloe Vera recommended
by physicians because of its guaranteed potency and quality. It is
manufactured from mature organic plants, within six hours of harvesting,
utilizing the whole leaf in a proprietary cold press process. Aloe
Vera is truly one of nature's health-benefitting wonders.
InnerStrength
is perhaps the most complete, purest, and bio available absorbable
vitamin and mineral supplement available on the planet today. You
owe it to your health to give your body what it has really been craving.
