Colloidal Minerals

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!

American diet has been shown to be inadequate in nutritional value

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.
