I
lived in Hawaii for 20 years and the sun had taken its toll on my
skin; being a redhead my skin was especially sensitive. Over the
years (after moving away from Hawaii), I developed many small red
spots on my body, the majority on my arms, that were pre-cancerous,
or cancerous (basal cell carcinoma1), skin lesions. The
cancerous ones had to be surgically removed by a dermatologist.
The doctor said I'd probably be coming back for the rest of my life
as the cancers developed over my lifetime. I'd had four or five
surgically removed before trying colloidal minerals and they left
scars.
After
only three days of taking colloidal minerals, I woke up the third
morning and raised my arms to stretch. It appeared the skin lesions
were going away. Thinking this might be a trick of the morning light
I went into the bathroom to get a good look. Sure enough, they were
fading! Within a week 80 percent gone!2 I've had no more
skin cancers since taking the minerals and haven't had to go back
to the dermatologist for nearly 10 years. This product cured
my skin cancer. I also noticed my skin had softened and some
wrinkles were less noticeable.
*Wrinkles
and pre-cancerous skin lesions aren't the only thing this product
has helped. People have reported improved digestion, relief from
back pain, tendentious, arthritis, insomnia, hemorrhoids, craving
for sweets, numbness and depression.3
There's
a company called T.
J. Clark that claims to have exclusive
rights to the central Utah location where the source of
colloidal minerals was discovered. There are several sources for
buying T. J. Clark colloidal minerals. Two are Longevity's
Colloidal Vera and SupraLife's
Mineral Toddy. The difference between Colloidal Vera and
Mineral Toddy is the former has aloe vera and a sweetener added
(you can drink it from the bottle) and the latter doesn't, so you
have to mix it with something unless you don't mind the bitter taste.
They both come in 32 oz. bottles and cost about the same. You can
buy both at "wholesale." With Longevity you have to make
a minimum $100 purchase to become a distributor (commission-based),
and you can buy Mineral Toddy at wholesale after a one-time $6 fee.
If you want
to buy Colloidal Vera without the minimum $100 purchase use my ID
# 6044. To order call
800-242-1000. When I sold Colloidal Vera every one of my customers said it helped one condition or another
and they sold like hotcakes.* Only one person had a negative reaction,
she got a sick stomach and I think that was due to the added aloe
vera.
1.
Basal cell carcinomas are caused by genetic damage to skin cells
from exposure to the sun. It may take years after the cellular damage
for the carcinomas to develop. Always use sun screen before going
outside, especially if you have fair skin!
2. My results appeared to be faster than normal. Give yourself at
least one month for noticeable results.
3. Unsolicited reports from people who've taken colloidal minerals.
Chicken
Collagen type II
In
an article entitled "Effects
of Oral Administration of Type II Collagen on Rheumatoid Arthritis"
the prestigious journal Science (Sept. 24, 1993) reported
on a study conducted by Harvard University In the study, researchers
used chicken collagen for ten patients experiencing excessive joint
swelling. In two months seven of the ten patients reported significant
improvements such as reduced swelling, improved morning stiffness
and increased grip strength. The researchers then went on to conduct
double-blind placebo-controlled experiment involving 59 patients
and found similar results. Apparently, in 1999 another study
found the same results.
You
can buy
chicken collagen type II on the Internet or at vitamin and health
food stores. Sellers of chicken collagen claim it's superior
to regular gelatin (made from beef cartilage and tendon), that you
can buy in most grocery stores (Knox Unflavored Gelatin), but is
more expensive. Whether chicken
collagen is superior to regular gelatin in its effectiveness
is beyond my knowledge. I've found regular gelatin helps my arthritis.
It can be mixed with juice, sprinkled on cereal, etc.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice from Asia, in the ginger family. It's mainly
used in curries and as a yellow coloring agent in food. It is a
natural anti-inflammatory. A good way to take turmeric is by buying
it in bulk, from herbal and health food stores, and encapsulating
it yourself in gelatin capsules. Gelatin capsules are available
on the Internet, by mail order or might be available locally if
you do some searching.Tumeric is a natural alternative to prescription
drugs.
Vitamins
I've
decided to add a section on vitamins (and minerals) since vitamin
depletion has been linked to all sorts of problems. If you buy your
food from the typical grocery store the vitamin and mineral content
of them varies widely and is less than foods that are home grown,
as Senate document no. 264
describes. Combine that with harvesting before the food is ripe,
processing and shipping, by the time they get on your grocer's shelves
they contain less than optimum amounts of nutrients. Then some are
"fortified" with synthetic vitamins to add what should've
been there in the first place. Pollution and stress lead to higher
vitamin comsumption by the body, resulting in vitamin deficiencies.
Have
you ever wondered why pets hardly get sick? Take a look at a can
of pet food ingredients, it's loaded with vitamins and minerals,
usually more than much of the food we eat!
A
note on the RDA or Recommended Daily Allowance: They are low for
the majority of people and are based on someone with no vitamin
deficiencies. For example, the RDA for vitamin C is 60 mg. You can
hardly buy (unless it's children's vitamins) vitamin C in less than
500 mg. According to this source,
the average American diet has been shown to be inadequate in nutritional
value.
Can
vitamins be dangerous in high dosages? Yes and no. The water soluble
vitamins (B & C) are usually harmlessly dumped by the body if
there's an excess. The oil soluble vitamins (A, E, D) may cause
problems if you take more than your body can handle, that varies
greatly from person-to-person.
I
did a lot research on vitamins and nutrition in my 20s that continues
today. I don't claim to be a licensed nutritionist, but am knowledgable.
Everyone's bio-chemistry is different -- what may work for one person
may not for another. If you want to be on the safe side start with
less than recommended, particularly the oil soluble vitamins (A,
E, D).
Arthritis,
teeth & gum problems: Calcium4 & vit. C.
Recommended dose of vit. C is 1000 to 2000 mg/day. Low Energy: B-Complex5 and C Insomnia: Calcium Night blindness (noticeable when driving at night), A &
E6 Scaly skin and other skin problems: A & E Frequent colds or infections: C & A Muscle cramps or twitching: Calcium, Potassium Heart palpitations: Potassium7
4.
Most calcium comes with magnesium, and sometimes zinc, added. They
are complimentary minerals and help with calcium's absorption. Recommended
dosages--Women: 1500 mg/day, Men: 1000 mg/day.
5.
Some people's urine will be bright yellow after taking B-Complex.
This is normal and is excess being excreted. Some people who scoff
at vitamin supplements say that's "expensive urine." However,
I'd rather pee 50 cents worth of vitamins a day than have a deficiency.
6.
Vitamins A & E are complimentary and should be taken together.
Recommended dosages, Vit. A: 8000 to 25,000 units per day. Vit.
E: 200 to 600 IU's per day.
7.
Because of over-regulation by the FDA potassium can only be sold
in 100 mg pills OTC (over-the-counter) which is 1/20th
of the RDA! I get around this by getting prescription potassium
(Klor-con) from my doctor.
