| The point to remember here is that the best way to get our minerals is not from water, but from food. The role of water is to bring hydrogen into the system to hydrate the system intracellularly, to eliminate toxins, and to amplify the osmotic process. When the hydrogen moves in, toxins move out.
Next in the restructuring process, add twenty-five drops of Crystal Energy™. Created by Dr. Flanagan, Crystal Energy™ is actually physical micro-crystal clusters that restructure water from its blank state into a highly structured form. |

THE DRUG WITH THE DECEPTIVE NAME
Mineral oil sounds like a very useful substance, chock full of helpful minerals. It is, indeed, a helpful laxative, but it is not just a mineral "donor," as its name suggests. Instead, it robs you of beta-carotene, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. |

 This is because MSM, a natural form of sulfur, combined with a good supply of vitamins and minerals, can boost the body's natural ability to create these sulfur-containing amino acids.
I have added this fabulous antioxidant to the program because it appears to play an essential role in cleaning up and safely removing some of the most persistent heavy metals, such as mercury, from the body. |

 I have been advised by millers that they could not ship flour if the minerals and vitamins were not removed. At once, we have an important measure of the value of a food; namely, the quality of insect life that it can support. The more valuable the product for human food, the more insect life it will support. Whereas highly refined white flour will support almost no insect life, a good product will support a relatively large amount of insect life in proportion to the volume of flour.
Consider this: food factories must deliver the food ingredients that are desired by manufacturers. |

| Magnesium
Magnesium appears to be one of the most important minerals required for chemical detoxification, as it protects the body's tissues, particularly the brain, from the toxic effects of heavy and other toxic metals such as mercury and aluminum. It is probable that low levels of total body magnesium contribute to the toxic metal deposition in the brain that precedes Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and learning disorders. |
| A good multivitamin and mineral will include the most important antioxidants: vitamins A, C, and E, coenzyme Q10, and the minerals selenium and zinc. Other antioxidants include the omega-3 oils and the "detoxing" amino acid known as glutathione (see pages 45-46).
B Vitamins
Our bodies need large amounts of the B group of vitamins—Bt, B6, and B|2 in particular—in order to process toxic chemicals. These nutrients also play an important role in powering our metabolism and preventing a wide range of diseases and conditions (such as high cholesterol) from developing. |
| Getting the Most from Your Multivitamin
The levels of various vitamins and minerals needed can vary dramatically among individuals according to need, whether or not they are taking medication, their exposure to chemicals, and the presence of disease. In addition, many people use nutrients over a short term for therapeutic purposes and take higher levels than they might take over the long term. Because of this, nutrient levels can only ever be approximate. |

 He suggests one to two tablespoons of cold pressed oils, plus some supplemental foods such as kelp, yeast, a little uncooked honey, and low-potency organic minerals and supplements.3
The standard macrobiotic diet recommended by Michio Kushi suggests that every meal consist of cooked grains, as 50 percent of the volume of the meal; soup, preferably miso, as 5 percent; vegetables, with two-thirds cooked and one-third raw, 20-30 percent; and cooked beans and seaweed, 10-15 percent.4 The macrobiotic diet emphasizes the 50/50 balancing of the yin/yang energies of food. |

| Soils are nourished as they are in the natural world, with farm-derived organic matter, minerals, and particles from ground rot.
• Green manures and cover crops are included with the broadly based crop rotations to maintain biodiversity.
• A pest-positive rather than pest-negative philosophy is involved, recognizing that pests appear when there is an imbalance and focusing on how to correct the cause of the problem rather than treating the symptoms. This is a holistic approach to farming. The goal, of course, is vigorous, healthy crops that are endowed with inherent powers to resist pests. |

 The article claimed: "If a 175-pound man fell into one end, he would come out the other end as 38 pounds of oil, seven pounds of gas, and seven pounds of minerals, as well as 123 pounds of sterilized water." Oil derived from, say, turkey guts, would chemically resemble No. 2 fuel oil of the kind used in home furnaces. Engineers and investment bankers alike joined in the cheerleading. The federal government kicked in $12 million in research grant money to the project.
The machinery used resembles that in a conventional oil refinery— on a much smaller scale. |
| The soil also may be depleted of vital minerals, which previously had been compensated for with decades of artificial fertilizers. In any case, the health of the soil will be hard to restore and before it is accomplished the people may have to endure very hard conditions. We also don't know what the effects of global warming and climate change will mean in the American Southeast. It may become more subtropical. But it might also suffer decreased rainfall and prolonged drought. What kind of crops might be grown there? |

| The molasses left after refining sugar, which is rich in minerals, is usually fed to animals; the same is true of the 'mill feed'pulled out of wheat and other grains. Similar losses occur for most of the vitamins.
Thus, the healthy substances in the whole grain are sold to animals while the unhealthy, disease-causing carbohydrate portion of the grain is shipped off for consumption by humans.
Why is this allowed to happen? Think about it: farmers and ranchers simply cannot afford for their livestock to get sick. |
| This disruption, in turn, causes your body to lose bone mass as it attempts to buffer dietary acid with skeletal alkaline minerals.
• Avoid homogenized milk fats like those contained in milk. These homogenized fats are artificially manipulated through an unnatural process that makes them difficult for humans to digest. There are serious questions about whether the human body can properly deal with homogenized fats, and many believe these fats contribute to poor cardiovascular health.
• Avoid dairy in general, since cows' milk is the perfect food for baby cows, but not for adult human beings. |

 Inorganic minerals are brought into the body by water that has a high mineral content. Drinking water that has a pH of between 6.8 and 7.2 will avoid this problem; outside of this range the body struggles to deal with the mineral imbalance as it is designed to use water at a pH of 7.
About three-quarters of the body fluid is stored within the cells, and without water, cells would literally shrivel up and die. Blood plasma, which transports mineral salts, carbohydrates, proteins, gases, enzymes, fats, and hormones, is approximately 92 percent water. |
| You know the sort: "Your children's bones will crumble"; "You can't cut dairy products out of your diet or you'll suffer from osteoporosis" (brittle bones due to the loss of minerals, especially calcium). Yet I kept coming across an article or a book telling me that I'd be far better off if I cut dairy out of my diet completely. So I decided to investigate.
What did those people advocating dairy products have to gain? Well, it made economic sense for the dairy industry to wax lyrical about the tremendous health benefits of consuming their products. |

| Fruit is very high in vitamins and antioxidants and is a valuable source of carbohydrates in a broken-down and very usable form, and vegetables are a wonderful source of many minerals and antioxidants. Vegetables are also alkaline in our bloodstream and what we know from most independent research is that we need to be following a 75-80 percent alkaline-forming diet. Research from Britain shows that the higher the alkaline environment in the brain, the higher the IQ. And the way to create a higher alkaline environment in the body is to eat more alkaline-forming foods. |

 It should also be appreciated that this portion of the antioxidant system is highly dependent on our nutritional intake of preformed vitamins and minerals, even though some of the vitamins can be manufactured from other precursors, as in the case of vitamin A from beta-carotene.
When an antioxidant encounters a free radical it is oxidized and becomes a free radical itself, milder than the one it neutralized, but still capable of causing problems. This is why we have numerous types of antioxidants in our bodies, each one regenerates the other. |

| Today, we still need the same high levels of nutrients—such as vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids—and fiber to detoxify and remove chemicals. However, the world has moved on into unhealthy directions since these early days.
The Health Risk Posed by an Increasing Chemical Burden
Our modern, highly processed diets contain a fraction of the nutrients and fiber that they once did. This has resulted in the diverting of the few nutrients our bodies do get to systems that power our life support rather than those that flush out waste and chemical toxins. |

 It will promote a powdery, matte finish but at the expense of drying and irritating skin.
© $$$ HydrapHel Skin Supplement, Freshener for Extremely Dry and Dry Skin ($32 for 6.8 ounces) is the only Laszlo toner someone with dry skin should consider. This alcohol- and irritant-free toner is a good change of pace from the pathetic assortment of irritating toners in this line, but it's still a boring formulation that lacks any state-of-the-art ingredients for dry skin.

 The long list of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids present in the other Caviar products is here, too, but, at best this ingredient cocktail has minor conditioning and water-binding benefits for the hair. Caviar Styling Lotion does contain the problematic wasabi extract, in a lesser amount than the Caviar Age-Free Protectant Styling Tonic above, which is why this product earns a neutral rating rather than a sad face.
© Caviar Styling Spray with Age-Control Complex ($24 for 8.5 ounces) is more a spray-on, weightless, leave-in conditioner than a styling spray. |
| Natural ingredients, particularly vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts, in and of themselves, cannot clean hair, cling to hair, or perform any function of conditioning or styling. Plus, because hair is not alive these ingredients can't function the same as they can on skin. The very notion is ludicrous. And beyond that, plenty of natural ingredients turn out to be problematic for the hair and scalp, while there are lots of synthetic ingredients you do not want to do without. |

Soluble fiber, like that found in oatmeal, apples, oranges, beans, psyllium seed husks, and pectin, is an extremely effective and nontoxic way to significantly lower blood cholesterol to safe levels as it physically binds to the cholesterol and carries it out of the body. |

 If a drug interferes with the firing of these nodes, say, by blocking the flow of key enzymes and minerals, the pump can become erratic, as if it had no surge protector. The pump has external plumbing — arteries and veins — that move the blood in and out, and an internal system of its own to keep it nourished. Drugs that block those pipes, or thicken their inner lining, can cause a backup and a blowout; drugs that interfere with the pipes' natural equilibrium processes — the arteries' way of keeping small internal bumps from rupturing and blocking the pipe — can do the same. |

 The white elite left the West Indies long ago, unless it is here once again (for a few years) to make a new fortune out of tourism, minerals, or bananas. Few islands in the Caribbean have ever made any concerted effort at self-sufficiency, and despite the fact that the Caribbean has more indigenous food plants than Europe, people even in some of the more favored agricultural areas would starve but for imports, usually from Canada or the United States. A permanent trade deficit exists between this region and the rest of the world. |

| Gelous Rage, Hair Styling Gel ($10 for 6 ounces) is a standard styling gel capable of providing a medium to firm hold that leaves hair slightly stiff and sticky. The minerals in this product (particularly the copper, which can make hair look green) pose a small risk of binding to the hair and causing dryness, but the amounts included are likely too small to have this effect.
© Green with Envy, Styling Pomade ($10 for 2 ounces) can be used by all hair types as a water-soluble pomade to add shine and smoothness to the hair. |
| When chelating agents appear high up on the ingredient list they are present in sufficient quantity to prevent most minerals in tap water, ocean water, or pool water from binding to the hair.

It should be remembered that this research was performed at the beginning or the last cenrun. Its importance for our time resides in the fact that it was then still possible co demonstrate parameters such as a soil's deficiency of magnesium and its repercussions on health.

| The vitamins include the B vitamins, and the minerals include magnesium, zinc and many others. The oils are made up of a combination of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils, and the fiber is insoluble fiber that aids in the health of the digestive system.
When we are talking about grains like wheat, these nutrients are largely contained in the bran and germ of the grains. The bran is the outer covering of the grain, and the germ is the vitamin-rich "seed" of the grain that contains the future wheat plant that would grow if you planted the grain. |
