Why Supplements are Necessary
  • There are 90 nutrients essential to human health.
  • It is impossible to get all of these nutrients from your diet.
    Therefore you must supplement!!
A common recommendation made by most medical doctors is that in order to get all the nutrients necessary to maintain health you must, on a daily basis, eat food from each of the four basic food groups (i.e., meats and proteins, fruits and vegetables, breads and grains and dairy products). Dr. Joel Wallach challenges this belief on his famous "Dead Doctor's Don't Lie" audio tape and highlights the reasons why it is practically impossible to get all the nutrients (especially the minerals) necessary to prevent disease by eating a diet based on the four food groups. Dr. Wallach argues that an unfortunate consequence of the American public's faith in following this advice is the result of a huge increase in the occurances of chronic degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. over the past 40 years. Dr. Wallach believes the vast majority of diseases are easily preventable by supplementing with organic colloidal minerals.

The key points of Dr. Wallach's argument are:

1. There are 90 nutrients essential to human health.

2. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients can lead to or cause, on average ten diseases. For example, a deficiency in copper can lead to premature gray hair, aneurism and stroke.

3. The 90 essential nutrients fall into four broad categories: amino acids; fatty acids; vitamins; and minerals.

4. If you eat a disciplined, well rounded diet you can get all the amino acids, fatty acids and vitamins you need.

5. It is practically impossible to get all of the minerals you need regardless of what kind or what quantity of food you eat.

6. Why is this so? Human beings ideally get minerals by eating foods such as vegetables, fruits and grains. However, such foods are grown in soils which are massively deficient in minerals, a fact which is documented by Senate Document 264 and by the findings reported at the 1993 World Eco Summit in Rio De Janeiro.

7. Minerals serve as catalysts for the body's ability to use amino acids, fatty acids and vitamins. Therefore, without the necessary mineral co-factors it is unlikely that we are getting the maximum benefit from these nutrients.

CONCLUSION: You must take mineral supplements to achieve optimal sustainable health!

Many Americans already take mineral supplements but most do not realize that there are three different types of mineral supplements each varying greatly in their absorb ability and their potential to become toxic:

  • Metallic minerals--These minerals are similar to the kind found in rocks and soils and are only 8 to 12% absorbable. They can build to dangerous levels, accumulating in fat, liver and brain tissue. Most tablet form minerals such as Centrum, Theragram and One-A-Day are of this type.

  • Chelated minerals--These are metallic minerals which are wrapped in an enzyme or an amino acid. This method, patented in the 1970's, makes them from 35 to 45% absorbable. Chelated minerals are generally much more expensive than metallic minerals.

  • Organic Colloidal Minerals--A colloid is a particle substance that retains its identity and remains in liquid suspension. Colloids are very small in size and therefore easily absorbed by the cells of the body. Plants convert metallic minerals into this form. Dr. Carey Reams, a well known biophysicist and biochemist, discovered that colloids can get so small they can go through glass. And that even within a colloid there can be a "solar system" of different minerals. They have a natural negative electrical charge. Dr. Reams found that the human body requires 84 of the known 106 elements to maintain optimum health. Many more than is currently recognized.

    In 1925, a rancher in Central Utah made an historic discovery which would one day lead to a breakthrough in nutritional science. The U.S. Department of the Interior determined that the rancher had discovered the remains of an ancient rain forest from the Cretaceous Period. Due to the glacial activity which occured in the area a lush rain forest was trapped, encapsulated and preserved beneath the glacier for millions of years.

    This deposit which Dr. Wallach likes to call "prehistoric hay" contains the richest known source of organic material chocked full of trace minerals. Over the years the material through an unusal set of circumstances has been compressed (by the pressure of the glacier) into what is known as "humic shale".

    Through his research Dr. Wallach discovered that only a small, selected portion of the deposit was suitable to produce a balance of over 77 minerals and trace minerals for his formulas. To insure high absorbability (bio-availability) Dr. Wallach uses only this pure, plant-derived source to produce his coloidal mineral formula in order to insure that his customers receive the highest quality product. Most colloidal mineral formuals found on the market today are extracted from bentonite, clay or dried up ancient sea beds and for that reason, are not as readily useable by the body.

    Dr. Wallach also uses an exclusive, patented process to extract the minerals from the humic shale in order to preserve the integrity of the minerals. Most companies use a harsh chemical or heat process to extract the minerals for their formulas because of the lower costs. But Dr. Wallach uses a slow, cold process and extracts the minerals through a complex array of special filters to allow only a pure organic concentration of colloidal minerals to form into the final solution which he calls the "mother liquor". Only the Majestic Earth products represents the true plant derived product.

    Dr.Wallach's Majestic Earth liquid minerals have a natural negative electrical charge, which is the signature of the true plant derived mineral. This has two very important benefits. One, it greatly increases the transport and bioavailability of other nutrients received from foods and/or vitamins and other supplements. And two, it will attract toxins and heavy metals from the body and flush them out.

    Dr. Wallach exclusively represents Youngevity and only endorses or recommends his own colloidal mineral supplements. The consumer should be aware that many inexpensive mineral formulas are derived from metallic mineral sources and sold as colloidal formulas and these are toxic to the human body. Dangerous levels of these metallic minerals can accumulate in the body's tissues and create health problems when taken long term. These type of formulas most often come from the 2000 year old, ancient sea bed deposits, and are loaded with chloride. These more toxic mineral formulas are being sold to an unsuspecting public under the guise of colloidal mineral supplements. Always remember that the superior quality colloidal mineral formulas are extracted from plant derived sources, but when companies use the chemical or heat extraction process to lower production costs and increase profits, the integrity of the product is compromised.
