--Success Testimonial--Now running circles around Wife--
The wife and I worked all morning yesterday together...
She is so sore she hasn't moved but for essential tasks all morning...
While I spent 3 hours working on the roof in 105+ degree weather. And am getting ready to work out in the yard.
Now, I would be the first to state we are all different... but this is from a guy who could barely walk up and down a street curb 5+ years ago, while the wife ran circles around him...
Those of you who know my history also know what I have overcome...
BTW - last weekend I worked out and did my martial arts waist deep in 4+ foot ocean waves... and ran on the beach.
now who is running the circles?
I am convinced that minerals, especially the much dietary void\lacking trace minerals are a HUGE key to health. These trace minerals play huge roles in creating and enabling hormones, enzymes, vitamins. Did you know selenium is required for your body to create CoQ10? B vitamins, C, and E are also needed...
I am convinced that the best way to get them is through the very best foods you can find and eat of a "single" ingredient... like an apple. If you eat processed foods, make them yourself from the "single" very best ingredients and do not forget to use the discards, if not in soup stocks, in your mulch pit.
I am convinced that these trace minerals are key to dealing with many viruses and other ails as shown in the literature. for instance the minerals selenium and manganese both being shown to eliminate the replications of the HIV virus... there are too many others here to list.
That said, I am convinced that form matters... for instance, fluoride is known to cause calcium deficiencies. In the form of calcium fluoride it is relatively inert and harmless in the amount you may encounter, however as fluorosylic acid or sodium fluoride, what we find in commercial products and water, it becomes a poison in accumulated amounts...
In fact, calcium hydroxide is a treatment for fluoride poisoning... so very prevalent these days. And preferred, at least by me over calcium chloride treatment given the prevalence of iodine deficiencies.
Moving on...
I am convinced that SBOs\NSOs (soil based\natural soil organisms) and comprehensive probiotics with bifidus are essential parts of good health. Why? Because with all the ubiquitous use of antibiotics, sterilized foods, and food additives which either strip out and\or kill these beneficial organisms from our gut, they need to be replaced... constantly.
BTW - I believe that excessive use of enemas, colonics and such are not such a good idea due to the reasons noted above, UNLESS, one has immediate, emergent need that supersedes the need for gut flora... then replace them for gods sake; you REQUIRE them in order to rebuild your health. This is especially important if you no longer have an appendix.
These NSO's\SBOs and probiotics live off of the foods we eat and manufacture many of the complexed enzymes\proteins, vitamins, and create the electromagnetic energy as well as other factors we need in order to thrive; they are our colleagues and friends - feed them, do not rid yourself of, or destroy them.
I am convinced that a lack of specific enzymes (mineral(s)\protein complexes) are a huge issue here as well... because we no longer seem to be able to manufacture them ourselves (lacking in the individual components and NSOs\SBOs probiotics) nearly as efficiently as we once were capable of doing before moving away from the soil, modern pollution, agricultural, and food processing methods, etc. created an environment and food that breaks apart these enzymes (mineral\protein complexes) and renders their separate components extremely difficult to absorb.
Get some soil under your nails today... it will do you good... get dirty.
In fact, I believe that a virus, like lets say HIV (since I mentioned it), may become a beneficial enzyme when joined as lock and key with the mineral it seeks (a virus is an acidic protein with a protein or acidic lipid coat) such as selenium or manganese... there most likely are others.
These are the basics in my mind...
Sure we can run out and purchase a high quality greens product (Healthforce is second to none in this regard IMO but pricey) fulvic (ionic minerals - pricey again, but good and beneficial), or a natural food state vitamin (MegaFoods\Innate Response is second to none IMO as they can be crushed before taken to improve absorption - but again pricey) or any number of other lessor products...
But there are MUCH cheaper ways to go such as the ML suggested methods... there is no way that the ML drink provides 100% of daily RDA of everything, HOWEVER, when one studies the use of homeopathics, or ionic minerals such as fulvic, one comes to find that the stimulatory effect of the small amount of ionic state nutrition, stimulates the body to make exponentially better use of the nutrition it needs from foods... from the digestive tract into the cell.
The information presented in this forum in regard to health are sound... no question, period.
The cost is minimal compared to other options. If you are economically challenged, this forum is for you... if you want to spend your hard earned money you do have more expensive methods to get to the same place and achieve the same thing. No one is stopping you...
While there may be one truth as ML states, there are many more ways than one to get there; some may work better or faster than others.
Some are sustainable, while others are not... think about that; especially given the current climate and coming CODEX laws etc.
I would venture a guess, that once we are faced in the not to distant future with ever narrowing choices, the methods presented here will be a godsend\lifesaver to those who know them.
If you do not do them; learn them.
For the same reasons, learn Weed Medicine... the use of wild indigenous plants (those that grow naturally around you) for accomplishing some of the same things.
That my friends is survivalism at its roots.
