Minerals are the spark of life, and without them we simply wouldn’t function.
![Page 3: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Minerals are the basic components of all matter. They are built into key enzymes and hormones, and are part
of cells, tissue, bone, blood and body fluids.

Although we Americans have greater abundance, and perhaps a more balanced diet than most of our
primitive forebears, our intake of vital, life sustaining minerals is woefully inadequate. The people of the United States are the best fed, nutritionally starved
people in the world…
![Page 5: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Most people today, especially those living in North America, are severely deficient in essential minerals. A number of experts in mineral science, cell physiology,
soil science and cellular biochemistry have linked mineral deficiencies to virtually every illness and
disease known to man.

Through a process called transmutation the human body can produce vitamins, but it cannot produce minerals. Minerals must be consumed, whether
through food or proper supplementation since they are the building blocks the cells utilize to manufacture
vitamins at the cell level.
![Page 7: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The very word vitamin is basically an antonym constructed from the first three letters of two other
words - Vital and Mineral.
![Page 8: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than
upon calories or vitamins, or upon the preciseproportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates
we consume!
![Page 9: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Every reaction and interaction of
organic molecules requires inorganic mineral catalysts and cofactors to
complete.
![Page 10: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
They also assist in every aspect of life
from the production of hormones and
energy, digestion, nerve transmission
and muscle contraction, to the regulation of pH,
metabolism, cholesterol, and
blood sugar.
![Page 11: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Without these mineral catalysts and cofactors, biochemical reactions can’t reach their end point.
![Page 12: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Macro-minerals and trace-minerals supply neither energy nor fuel to the body but are instrumental in
their production and use.
![Page 13: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
All the vitamins in the world do us little good without minerals.
![Page 14: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless.
![Page 15: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Minerals are sometimes called “co-enzyme factors” --because enzymes are basically mineral combinations
in their most basic structures.
![Page 16: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Same with amino acids which are hydrogen chains produced by cellular interactions with mineral
TRANSMUTATIONS within the cells themselves.
![Page 17: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
There are more than 100 mineral elements found on earth. Four of these, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and
nitrogen, make up 96% of our body.
![Page 18: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The remaining 4% of our body is basically made
up, in part, of the other minerals, which are
available to us, and these vary somewhat,
depending on where we live.
![Page 19: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Our daily mineral intake is about 1.5 grams–our total intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are about
500 grams.
![Page 20: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Thus our mineral intake represents only about 0.3% of our total intake of nutrients, yet minerals are so potent
and so important that without them we wouldn’t be able to utilize the other 99.7% of foodstuffs and would
quickly perish.
![Page 21: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
More important than mineral’s role in balancing pH levels, however, is proper cellular hydration. No amount
of minerals can balance pH if the cells are chronically de-hydrated.
![Page 22: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
There is a huge gap in knowledge regarding the understanding as to why proper hydration is important
for health, and for competitive success as well.
![Page 23: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Humans are water beings. We form during 9 months in a water-filled environment called a womb. Our blood is water based, as is our brains. Without water, minerals
are worthless and vice verse.
![Page 24: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
There are seven major minerals. They are calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium and chlorine. Our bodies should contain significant amounts
of each!
![Page 25: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Trace minerals, on the other hand, are present in the body in very small amounts. Each makes up less than
one-hundredth of one percent of our body weight.
![Page 26: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Rocks are the parent material for soil which is the main source of nutrition for plants, animals and ultimately
humans.
![Page 27: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The health and survival of all plants, domestic or wild, depends on the health of the soil and its ability to
provide a constant supply of minerals.
![Page 28: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Vitamins, enzymes, hormones, every sub-cellular and chemical reaction, every metabolic cycle requires
mineral cofactors and catalysts, even oxygen itself can not be utilized without mineral cofactors.
![Page 29: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
According to science, millions of years ago the soil near the earth’s surface, where our plants are grown, was
saturated with dozens of minerals. At least 84 minerals were available nearly everywhere and some areas of the
planet contained 100 minerals.
![Page 30: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
When humans began to till the soil, wind and rain erosion began to take its toll along with continuous cropping, which gradually strip-mined the nutrients
from the soil.
![Page 31: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Years ago, humans used to burn wood for cooking and heating.
![Page 32: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Ashes contain all the minerals that the tree brought out of the earth through it’s roots.
![Page 33: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
People would then deposit the ashes onto the garden.
![Page 34: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When they would grow food, it would contain all the minerals that were added to the soil from the burned
wood from trees.
![Page 35: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
When we stopped burning wood and started using coal and electricity, the mineral content of the food
started diminishing and has continued to today.
![Page 36: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Soil tests from all over the world have revealed that our soils are severely lacking in minerals, leaving us
with mineral-deficient plants with very little food value.
![Page 37: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Most farmers never put back more than 6 minerals. Animals require at least 60 minerals, creating a deficit
of 54 minerals.
![Page 38: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Soil depletion is the only reason today’s plants contain no more than 16 minerals, on average, in most of the
food available today.
![Page 39: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Man-made, chemical fertilizers, introduced in 1908, upset the delicate balance of minerals and organisms in humus-rich soil by killing off the beneficial bacteria.
Lacking in the naturally occurring minerals, they are less available to plants.
![Page 40: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Farmers add 46 billion tons of synthetic fertilizer to their crops annually in an attempt to compensate for the
useless soil.
![Page 41: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The more chemical fertilizers are used, the weaker the plants become, the more insects attack, and the more
insecticides have to be used.
![Page 42: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Chemical fertilizers also saturate plant roots with too much of one nutrient, making it difficult for plants or crops to pick up and absorb other minerals they need
so much.
![Page 43: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Most of the mineral supplement formulations available today contain no more than 10 to 15 minerals because
most are derived from the earth, from ancient sea beds, clay or ground up rock and soil.
![Page 44: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
This type of mineral is known as a metallic hydrophobic mineral!
![Page 45: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Minerals must be fully assimilated at the cellular level before they can deliver positive benefits to the human
body.
![Page 46: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Whether it is a blood cell, a muscle tissue cell, or an organ tissue cell, the mineral MUST eventually
penetrate the cell wall/membrane for the particular mineral to be of any value and to enhance cellular
functions.
![Page 47: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
In order for a mineral ion to effectively penetrate the membrane, the mineral must be attached to a pure
hydrogen and oxygen molecule (be completely water soluble) and thus enter the cell via the process of
osmosis.
![Page 48: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The type of mineral which comes from a plant has been assimilated or digested by the plant and is known as a
water soluble, plant derived, hydrophilic mineral.
![Page 49: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The human body is not designed to absorb or assimilate and use metallic or elemental minerals.
![Page 50: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
No more than 5% to 8% of metallic minerals are actually assimilated by the human body.
![Page 51: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Some people have healthy hydrochloric acid pH levels in their stomachs that allow them to correctly break
down minerals in tablet form. But most Americans do not have healthy HCL stomach acid levels. (They are
chronically de-hydrated).
![Page 52: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Therefore, they do not have healthy digestive enzyme levels which are needed to further break down the
mineral chelates into angstrom-sized individual ions for complete cellular ingestion and homeostasis.
![Page 53: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
If there is insufficient digestive acid in the stomach, even plant-derived minerals are poorly assimilated and
deficiencies may develop quite rapidly.
![Page 54: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
When the hydrochloric acid in our stomach isn't strong enough to dissolve these metals during the short 15 to
21 hour digestive cycle,
![Page 55: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
the balance, or up to 92%, merely passes through the waste system without benefit.
![Page 56: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The people who need minerals the most are typically the people who cannot efficiently digest minerals in any
other form - and a vicious, cruel cycle often results in chronic, often debilitating illness and the victim is
convinced that they must take pharmaceutical chemical drugs for life to help with the symptoms.
![Page 57: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
You could not live on soil or ground up rock, because it is not alive or enzymatically active like plant derived
minerals from raw plants.
![Page 58: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Chelated minerals were developed in the laboratory. This process involves wrapping amino acids or protein around metallic minerals to help the body metabolize
them.
![Page 59: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
But, this form of minerals has at best only a 40% assimilation. Chelated or not, they are still metallic
minerals.
![Page 60: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
It is best to add minerals to the soil, and eat the plants grown on it, rather than ingesting colloidal minerals in
their "raw" state.
![Page 61: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Microorganisms act as an interface at the plant roots, ingesting minerals and altering them to a form that plants can use, then plants bio-transmute them to a
form we can use.
![Page 62: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The Spark of Life
![Page 63: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Raw materials are required by all living organisms. The obvious raw materials to sustain life, maintain and
repair tissues and organs, support reproduction, and support longevity, are oxygen, water, and food. Food
is the variable.
![Page 64: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Boyd Odell, a professor in agricultural biochemistry, created spina bifida in laboratory animals in 1956 by feeding the pregnant mothers with diets deficient in
zinc, vitamin B12, and folic acid.
![Page 65: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
We can prevent up to ninety-eight percent of the birth defects in animals by supplementing the female with
the proper nutrients prior to conception.
![Page 66: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
In most instances, “genetic defects” are simple mineral deficiencies that leave a repeatable “fingerprint” on a
specific gene, in a specific location, on a specific chromosome.
![Page 67: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
They are no more complicated in concept than a deficiency of zinc resulting in a cleft palate or spina
bifida in a farm animal.
![Page 68: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
These minerals attached to the DNA molecule are known as “metallic fingers” and are essential to the
function and repeatability of DNA to RNA to structural or enzymatic protein.
![Page 69: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Mineral deficiencies are the root cause of most diseases mistakenly thought to be “genetically
transmitted.”
![Page 70: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Minerals are a key component of lessening cellular stress, and balancing pH levels.
![Page 71: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Calcium deficiency alone can result in as many as 147 different diseases, ranging from osteoporosis,
osteoarthritis, osteomalacia, degenerative arthritis, Bell’s Palsy, tinnitus, trigeminal neuralgia, and spinal
stenosis to name a few.
![Page 72: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Electrolytes
![Page 73: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Electrolytes begin as minerals—the inorganic, hard rock of our planet. Of the major types of nutrients—mineral,
carbohydrate, protein, and oil—minerals came first.
![Page 74: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
They existed on Earth before plants or animals—before sugars or amino acids.
![Page 75: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
These simple elements can’t be synthesized by plant, animal or human, but must be consumed from plants
that get them from the dust and stones in soil.

There are no substitutes for these essential elemental nutrients.
![Page 77: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Biology turns stones into bones. Our human body is 99.5% hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen—only four light-weight
elements.
![Page 78: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
The other 0.5% is 20 other elements, most of which form our hard, dense skeleton.
![Page 79: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
We can’t live without minerals, which must be supplied continuously by
food.
![Page 80: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Minerals are metallic elements, but most metals have so much charge, they are rarely found as pure elements.
![Page 81: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Instead, they readily react chemically with other atoms to form oxides, chlorides, sulfides, sulfates,
silicates, carbonates, etc. Thus, metal becomes mineral as the first step to becoming biology.
![Page 82: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
The metal atoms in minerals are the centers of charge in large molecules that form cells and living tissues.
![Page 83: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
The metal elements coordinate and direct the flow of electrons, reactions between atoms, strength of
membranes, and action of enzymes in biological life.
![Page 84: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
An electric current is a stream of electrons through subatomic space. Copper is the conductor of choice for
electricity, although other metals will work, too.
![Page 85: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
A spark is a burst of this electric fire made visible in a massive discharge of electrons in air—miniature
lightning.
![Page 86: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Earth itself spins inside a huge electromagnetic field. Every living thing participates in this electromagnetic
activity.
![Page 87: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Some of that charge is transferred into our body when our naked skin touches moist Earth or bare rock.
Modern humans are missing this daily experience of being grounded in direct electrolytic link to moist soil.
![Page 88: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Atoms react chemically by exchanging electrons. How atoms share, pair, pass around, circulate, and store
electrons decides how ions form, atoms bond, molecules are made, carbons chain, cells sing, and hormones ring.
![Page 89: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
An ion is an atom that gains or loses one or more electrons.
![Page 90: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Since such an atom then has an excess or shortage of electrons in outer orbitals circling around the nucleus, an ion has electric charge. This gives ions the essential
energy needed to power chemical reactions.
![Page 91: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Some elements—mostly metals—easily release electrons to have a positive charge: a cation (+).
Others capture extra electrons to acquire negative charge: an anion (-).
![Page 92: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
For example, Sodium (Na), one of the lightest metals, easily gives up the single, unpaired electron in its
outer-most orbital to become a cation (Na+).
![Page 93: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
But its positive charge is so strong that it rapidly reacts and bonds with other atoms.
![Page 94: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
We seldom encounter sodium as pure metal, only as its mineral salts. So too, most metals react with
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, etc., to become minerals.
![Page 95: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
These crystal chemicals become Earth’s bedrock, boulders, stone, soil, sand, silt, salt, clay, dirt, and dust.
![Page 96: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Salt of the Earth
![Page 97: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
An electrolyte is an ionic substance which dissolves in water. These ions-in-solution are valuable for their
effects on water’s electrical properties.
![Page 98: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Most often, they increase water’s ability to pass an electric current, or store electric charge.
![Page 99: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Simple electrolytes can be three types: acid (+), base (-), or salt (+ and - or neutral).
![Page 100: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
In this most fundamental reaction, acid and base unite to form salt and water.
![Page 101: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Acid and base are polar, with opposite ionic charge, but salt—with both cations and anions—is neutral.
![Page 102: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Salt is chemical fire. Its corrosive appetite is fed—not by wood or coal—but by metals, whose exchange of
electrons fuels chemical reactions.
![Page 103: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Every enzyme requires an electrolyte as its key component. Without this electric spark, there can be
no taste, or smell, or sight. No sensation, or motion, or light. And no life.
![Page 104: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Even slight alterations in concentrations of ionic chemicals in our body fluids will disturb vital cell
functions.
![Page 105: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
For example, low potassium ions cause general muscle paralysis, while high levels create weak, irregular
heartbeats.
![Page 106: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Therefore, our body has evolved with multiple methods to maintain stable, constant levels of electrolytes in
blood, lymph and all other body fluids.
![Page 107: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Biological Plasma
![Page 108: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
A primary purpose of kidneys is to balance electrolytes in blood. This pair of organs filters blood to neutralize excess acid and alkali, then excrete them as salts and
water in urine.
![Page 109: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
In essence, kidney function is electric, not merely chemical.
![Page 110: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Minerals are transformed into a special state by bacteria, and acquire an added energy force. If you try
to measure it, it’s not detectable.
![Page 111: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
This force isn’t a mystery, but is subtle beyond man’s most sensitive instruments; it is measured as parts per million of H+ ions, and is rated on a 0-to-14 logarithmic
scale in which 7.0 is neutral.
![Page 112: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Minerals change form to become energized like plasma—living water, in complex, stable, yet changing states
of charge.
![Page 113: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
The medical term for the fluid in blood is plasma. And in physics, plasma is the fourth state of matter—an
ionized, electrified state.
![Page 114: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Each cell is a tiny drop of water enclosed in a bubble of oily membrane. A cell membrane is a very thin film—a
double layer of lipids—of fatty acid hydrocarbons—reinforced by cholesterol, collagen and proteins.
![Page 115: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Lipids form a very minute, positively charged, barrier that insulates water inside a cell from waters all around
it.
![Page 116: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
The process of getting nutrients absorbed into cells—across the cell wall matrix—is termed biovection.
![Page 117: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
This cell wall also blocks movement of electrons and ions. So a cell can store an electric charge.
![Page 118: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Each cell is a biological battery! The force between the inside and outside cell wall is a liquid pressure that’s
sustained by electrolytes.
![Page 119: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Minerals are needed to keep this battery in a cell going, and to enable cells to hold a charge.
![Page 120: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
Without minerals—without the right electrolytes in correct ratios—cells can’t maintain this inner-outer
pressure, they weaken, become vulnerable to parasites—even die. The cell membrane is a key element in
immunity.
![Page 121: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
If our body was a car, electrolytes would be the battery and sparkplugs. A car won’t run without a battery and
sparkplugs.
![Page 122: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
Without these living waters, we can’t be healthy. And if we don’t recharge our biological battery, we’re as
worthless as a car with a dead battery.
![Page 123: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Electrolytes supply the spark of life to cells. They aren’t fuel that is burned to provide power. Rather, like a spark in a car engine, they are the electric fire that
ignites every chemical reaction in a cell. They deliver electrons where needed for reactions, and store charge
between events.
![Page 124: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
Electrolytes strengthen every cell, gland and organ, do many important things, and make everything work
better.
![Page 125: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Electrolytes sustain the most critical chemical balance in the body: pH—the acid-base balance. This delicate
chemical condition determines how electrons are available for reactions.
![Page 126: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Too much positive charge from acids (+) creates an inability to circulate electrons. Excess anions (-) of an
alkaline state will overcharge a cell or organism.
![Page 127: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Life is a balancing act, so most biological processes need neutral—or slightly alkaline—pH to assure a
steady supply of electrons.
![Page 128: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
Our blood remains very close to 6.45 pH, and if it changes by 0.1, we can die. Electrolytes not only help
restore neutral pH balance, they also act as buffers that resist any change in pH.
![Page 129: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
The neutral factor means that if we eat something that’s too acid or too alkaline, our body can prevent a
change in pH. A healthy body with electrolytes will temporarily neutralize these extremes.
![Page 130: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Like trees dying on high mountain tops from acid rain, intestinal microflora wilt and weaken if the pH of their
environment changes. When the pH of cell water becomes too acid, proteins change their shape, and
many enzymes no longer function.
![Page 131: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Much modern illness is due to disturbed pH. Infections, yeasts, parasites, and worms all thrive in acid pH.
![Page 132: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
Cancer and arthritis are two of many everyday diseases encouraged and aggravated, if not caused by inability to sustain stable, neutral pH, and thus cell membrane integrity. Chronic excess acids force our body to use
calcium stored in teeth and bones to neutralize acids.
![Page 133: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
Our poor, depleted soils can’t supply minerals needed for electrolytes, while refining and processing remove
even more minerals, so we can’t generate the electromagnetic charge.
![Page 134: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
No matter how much supplement we take, calcium can’t adhere to bone matrix without this
electromagnetic force.
![Page 135: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Cell Membranes
![Page 136: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
A cell’s most critical chore is to maintain the integrity of the cell membrane—the inner-outer pressure balance
at a cell wall to separate cell from not-cell.
![Page 137: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
This double-layer of lipids is in constant motion, fed by electrolytes.
![Page 138: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
A strong membrane is a cell’s first line of defense—the frontline of the immune system. Without electrolytes,
this barrier can’t be sustained; it weakens, and an unwanted substance can invade the cell.
![Page 139: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
Trace element electrolytes are key catalysts in thousands of enzymes needed by cells to make amino
acids, proteins, and other organic molecules.
![Page 140: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
When electrolytes form, they generate more electro-chemical activity, attract more minerals, and capture
more charge.
![Page 141: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
Charge control is the key to enzymes that allow biochemical reactions to occur rapidly, selectively, and
precisely.
![Page 142: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
Electrolytes are also critical to nerves—both individually, and for the collective coordination of the
entire nervous system.
![Page 143: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Nerve impulses are transmitted as an exchange of sodium and potassium ions at the nerve membrane.
![Page 144: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
A nerve membrane is encased in long tendrils of protein with a calcium ion attached at the end of each
strand. Without this impulse of ion fire, there can be no taste, no smell, no sight, no sensation, and no
awareness.
![Page 145: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
Hormones, vitamins and enzymes, which activate, regulate and synchronize nerve action, all require a
mineral ion as a key element in their reactive structure, and for their synthesis.
![Page 146: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)
Electrolytes are the key to unlock energy flow in a cell. They strike the sparks of electric fire that make life
happen.
![Page 147: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
Even the Bible says we are born out of the dust of the Earth—the minerals.
![Page 148: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
Minerals are absorbed best when they are dissolved in water.
![Page 149: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
Our body is around 75% water by weight, most of which is lymph fluid. Our organs and glands float in this
internal ocean, whose chemical composition and ion concentrations are carefully controlled.
![Page 150: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
Water is the medium in which all biochemical reactions occur. Most nutrients are dissolved in water.
![Page 151: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
Water liquefies food to carry nutrients through intestines where they are absorbed into the
bloodstream and lymph.

Wastes from cells are dissolved in water and collected by blood to excrete as urine and sweat.
![Page 153: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/153.jpg)
Water regulates body temperature by absorbing heat released by cell metabolism. Skin secretes water as perspiration, and then heat transforms it to vapor,
cooling the body.
![Page 154: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/154.jpg)
Animals on starvation diets still survive, even after losing all stored fats and carbohydrates, and half their protein. But loss of 10% of their water is very serious,
and 20% loss usually results in death.
![Page 155: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/155.jpg)
So water must be consumed steadily to prevent dehydration, and maintain fluid, electrolyte and pH
balances.
![Page 156: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
Sugar—the universal fuel of biology—is simply water and carbon dioxide: carbohydrate.
![Page 157: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/157.jpg)
Water is the routine by-product of biosynthesis, such as turning sugars into starch, amino acids into protein, or
fatty acids into lipid. All are acid-base reactions that yield salt and water.
![Page 158: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/158.jpg)
But most critical—and least understood—is water’s ability to transmit energy.
![Page 159: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/159.jpg)
In cells, energy is found, not only a current of electrons, but magnetic flux—and these properties are altered by
electrolytes.
![Page 160: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
Water isn’t merely a medium for electrolytes to dissolve and form. Water becomes part of the electrolytes themselves, held together by an
electromagnetic charge created by rock enzymes.
![Page 161: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)
Cell protoplasm—like the rest of the body—is mostly water, but not ordinary water. This water has certain
ions added in careful, precise amounts, and then electromagnetic charge is imparted.
![Page 162: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/162.jpg)
This force imposes definite yet subtle order to water molecules. Cell biology calls fluid inside a cell
membrane gelatinous—leaving this mystery murky and amorphous.
![Page 163: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)
Trace elements are the proverbial needle in a haystack. They are just as essential as carbohydrates and protein,
but needed in minute amounts.
![Page 164: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/164.jpg)
We need little more than a millionth of an ounce of iodine, but if it’s lacking, goiter develops from a
dysfunctional thyroid.
![Page 165: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)
A cell wall can’t have elasticity unless it has a bit of silica. As we get older, lack of silica causes skin to
harden and age rapidly. But with silica, people’s skin stays tougher, and looks younger.
![Page 166: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/166.jpg)
Water’s tiny electric dipoles give it remarkable power to dissolve other substances—especially ionic
substances—and to hold them in dynamic suspension, floating in fluid mobility.
![Page 167: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/167.jpg)
The electric poles of H2O molecules attract, attach and hold other ionic or polar chemicals, and, in their
constant motions, carry them off, thus disassembling them.
![Page 168: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/168.jpg)
In a solution, minerals—because of their higher mass and stronger electric charge—are the centers of
electromagnetic force. Other molecules gather around these focal points of force, and tend to form stable
configurations.
![Page 169: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/169.jpg)
The mineral imposes a definite geometry and order to water. Even when fully dissolved, the crystalline
geometry of salt’s ionic charge imparts order to moving water molecules.
![Page 170: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/170.jpg)
The presence of mineral ions alters the angles of water’s lattice, warping and bending the water
molecules’ organization to accommodate the strong ionic charge.
![Page 171: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/171.jpg)
Such slight shifts in geometry can alter water’s physical properties, such as melting and boiling temperatures,
and chemical reactivity.
![Page 172: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/172.jpg)
Minerals provide strong electromagnetic charges to hold organic molecules in tight, stable association. This also boosts water’s capacity to conduct electric current.
![Page 173: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/173.jpg)
The bipolar geometry of water is not only electric, but magnetic. The outer electrons of the hydrogen-oxygen
bonds are in orbital spin, and a moving charge generates a magnetic field, just like the Earth.
![Page 174: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/174.jpg)
So this tiny dipole also has a minute magnetic field around it.
![Page 175: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)
This makes each water dipole a tiny magnet, and makes water very sensitive to magnetic-fields, especially when
it has minute amounts of trace elements added to it.
![Page 176: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)
So, when water whirls, its tiny dipole magnets tumble around each other.
![Page 177: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/177.jpg)
In a cell or your bloodstream—water generates an electromagnetic force.
![Page 178: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)
Spinning water in a vortex creates a kinetic energy—the energy of motion, or momentum. This energy
creates a special state of charge.
![Page 179: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/179.jpg)
Moving water has a detectable, if minuscule, energy field—especially if it contains the proper percent of
metal ions.
![Page 180: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/180.jpg)
Water’s energy of motion is captured by the molecules as increased electron spin. Water’s swirling kinetic
energy is absorbed and entrained as resonant atomic energy.
![Page 181: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/181.jpg)
This higher spin energy increases hydrogen-oxygen attractions between adjacent water molecules. This
causes water to hold more tightly together.
![Page 182: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/182.jpg)
Charging water alters the angle between the hydrogens in the molecule. The hydrogen-oxygen bond is slightly
flexible, and the angle can vary up to 10 degrees.
![Page 183: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/183.jpg)
As orbital electron spin increases, the hydrogens draw tighter, closer together and the angle between the
hydrogens decreases.
![Page 184: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/184.jpg)
The water inside a cell membrane is as orderly as possible.
![Page 185: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/185.jpg)
The water is still a freely flowing fluid, yet, like ice, has a stable, orderly molecular structure, but is still not
frozen in a rigid, hard solid state. It is a liquid crystal. Crystalloid is the actual form the electrolytes are in,
which is a very, very minute particle structure.
![Page 186: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/186.jpg)
Water molecules in a liquid crystal state move and dance around, yet retain an overall geometry and
synchrony in their motions. But unlike humans, water doesn’t dance in lines or squares, but in circles,
spinning spirals into 3-D lattice arrays.
![Page 187: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/187.jpg)
Water in this state is much more orderly than ordinary water. It has a capacity to hold a stable shape, even though individual water molecules dance in, out and about the pattern. Individual water molecules remain
in free motion, but their collective movement retains a fixed order.
![Page 188: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/188.jpg)
Living cells prefer this liquid crystal water to pack inside a cell membrane to make protoplasm. In this form,
water and minerals pass easily through cell membranes, and soft tissues.
![Page 189: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/189.jpg)
Physical chemistry is no longer sufficient to explain the workings of cell, body or brain. Today, a new
consciousness is awakening in the public, ready to accept the truth that health is founded on nutrition, and rooted in our soils, and depends on the dance of
fire and water.
![Page 190: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/190.jpg)
The Human Crystal
![Page 191: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/191.jpg)
Our physical structure can be seen as a series of synchronous, interacting crystal structures. Oscillating solid and liquid crystals form an overall energy pattern
for the total body, linking the body on this level.
![Page 192: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/192.jpg)
Each organ, gland, nerve system, cell and protein structure–even the tissue salts in the body–shows a
level of organization with some degree of crystalline-like function.
![Page 193: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/193.jpg)
The human energy field exists as an array of
oscillating energy points which have a layered
structure and a definite symmetry.
![Page 194: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/194.jpg)
These properties fulfill the definition of a normal crystal in material form.
![Page 195: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/195.jpg)
Our bone structure has long been recognized as a solid crystal structure with piezoelectric properties. A
piezoelectric effect is the creation of an electromagnetic field pulse when a crystalline structure is physically stressed or pushed out of its normal shape.
![Page 196: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/196.jpg)
As a solid crystal, it has the ability to convert vibrational energy, such as sound or light, into
magnetic and electric energy.
![Page 197: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/197.jpg)
Crystals can absorb, store, convert, amplify, transduce and transmit vibrational energies, which have
biological effects.
![Page 198: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/198.jpg)
When physical stress or an electromagnetic field is applied to a piezoelectric crystal, the crystal will change
shape and generate an EMF. Bone, quartz crystal and tourmaline are among the few crystal forms with
piezoelectric properties.
![Page 199: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/199.jpg)
The crystalline-like components of the extracellular matrix of bone, such as collagen and proteoglycans,
possess piezoelectric qualities.
![Page 200: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/200.jpg)
Mineralized tissue such as cartilage, dentin, teeth in general and relatively non-mineralized tissues such as keratin in skin, elastin, artery tissue, connective tissue (tendons and ligaments), and even some amino acid crystals (glysine, proline and hydroxyproline) all have
piezoelectric properties.
![Page 201: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/201.jpg)
The main forces, which create pulsed piezoelectric EMFs in bone, are the anti-gravity muscles, the
cardiovascular system, voluntary muscles, and impact with the environment.
![Page 202: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/202.jpg)
Projected EMFs have the ability to create a piezoelectric response in bone. These EMFs have
biological activity.
![Page 203: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/203.jpg)
These piezoelectric fields affect: cell nutrition, local pH control, enzyme activation and suppression, orientation of intra and extra cellular macromolecules, migratory and reproductive activity of cells, synthetic capacity
and specialized function of cells, contractility and permeability of cell membranes, and energy transfer.
![Page 204: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/204.jpg)
Another type of electric or electromagnetic field response is also found in bone structure, called
streaming potentials, an electrical field created by the flow of ions, charged solutes, and cells such as red blood cells, through the tissues, carried by extra
cellular fluids such as blood through the extra cellular matrix.
![Page 205: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/205.jpg)
When the bone is even subtly bent from pressure by such events as walking or even by the pulse of our
arteries, the extra cellular fluids are pumped through the bone. An electrical charge is created as a result of the electrostatic interaction of the electrically charged
fluids moving past the fixed charge in the crystalline bone structure.
![Page 206: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/206.jpg)
These electrical fluids can also interact with the piezoelectric fields of the bone.
![Page 207: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/207.jpg)
There are other forms of crystalline-like systems in the body, and one of the most important is the liquid
crystal.
![Page 208: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/208.jpg)
A liquid crystal is technically defined as having form, liquid properties, stored information and a measurable
electromagnetic field. A liquid crystal can act simultaneously as liquid and crystal.
![Page 209: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/209.jpg)
The larger liquid crystal systems include fatty tissue, muscle and nerve tissue, the lymphatic system, white
blood cells, and the various pleural and peritoneal linings.
![Page 210: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/210.jpg)
Muscle and nerve tissue exist as liquid crystal systems held in shape by bone and skin systems.
![Page 211: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/211.jpg)
The muscles have also been shown to have some piezoelectric properties.
![Page 212: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/212.jpg)
On a cellular level, all cells and cell membranes are considered liquid crystals. These include the plasma membrane, mitochondrial membrane, smooth and
rough endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear membranes and chloroplast membranes.
![Page 213: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/213.jpg)
Bodily fluids also have crystal qualities.
![Page 214: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/214.jpg)
A water molecule contains the potential forms of all crystals in its primary form of a tetrahedron. Water can bring all different forms of ions into a crystalline state
and hold them in solution.
![Page 215: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/215.jpg)
The more structured the water is, the higher concentration of ions it can hold.
![Page 216: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/216.jpg)
One of the most important ion solutions is the dissolved cell salts.
![Page 217: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/217.jpg)
When the body cells and tissues become diseased or cancerous, the crystalline protein structures no longer have the proper configuration to maintain the water in
a structured state.
![Page 218: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/218.jpg)
Ions and other solutes in the cell consequently become redistributed by the new pattern of unstructured
water.
![Page 219: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/219.jpg)
If the water in the cell, extra cellular fluid or blood plasma becomes structured, it will then be able to
attract and hold more ions by virtue of its hydration shell patterns.
![Page 220: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/220.jpg)
Identical crystal resonant fields emanated by micronutrients are attracted to larger resonant fields
emanated by the organism’s larger crystalline and liquid crystalline patterns.
![Page 221: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/221.jpg)
This explains how micronutrients, homeopathic remedies, etc., through vibrating crystalline fields, are drawn to the appropriate resonating crystalline sites.
![Page 222: Minerals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681439e550346895db01bd2/html5/thumbnails/222.jpg)
