According to Nobel Prize Winner Otto Warburg, de-generative diseases (attributed to aging all along), such as: Cancer, Osteoporosis, Heart disease, and other ailments such as Allergies, Kidney Stones and Gallstones have all been scientifically linked to acid! Acidosis (overly acidic body) is the primary indicator of Calcium Deficiency Disease. Scientists have discovered that the body fluids of healthy people are alkaline (high pH) whereas the body fluids of sick people are acidic (low pH). 


Louis Pasteur said it best.... 

"The germ is nothing--the inner environment is everything." 



To quote the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research 

"If the doctors of today do not become the nutritionists of tomorrow, 

then the nutritionists of today will become the doctors of tomorrow."

Supplements for Health & Wellness

The foods that we eat in America are not providing the nutrition required for health and wellness.  Many people try very hard to eat vegetables and fruits because they are supposed to be healthier.  The problem with this strategy is the amount of pesticides that are used on crops.


Our bodies have become the filters for all of the toxins that are in our environment. Another problem with the food we eat today is the lack of minerals that are available in the soil.  


While the nutrient density of harvested foods has declined significantly over the past 100 years, at the same time, food consumers are becoming increasingly interested in wellness and the prevention of disease.


Minerals assist the body in a multitude of biochemical processes. Minerals are inorganic compounds found in the soil. Foods grown in soil depleted of minerals do not contain the minerals needed to sustain human health.


The Nutrition Security Institute completed a study that proves as minerals go down, disease goes up.  The changes in the rates of reported chronic diseases between 1980 and 1994 (per 100,000 members of the US population).


Heart Disease increased 18.67% with mineral deficiencies associated with the disease being chromium, copper, magnesium, potassium and selenium.


Chronic Bronchitis is associated with mineral deficiencies of copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, selenium and zinc with an increase of disease from 1980 to 1994 of 55.98%.


Tinnitus is up 24.98% and associated with mineral deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.


Bone deformities are up 46.96% with mineral deficiencies of calcium, copper, fluoride and magnesium,


Asthma has the highest increase between 1980 and 1994 of 87.44% with the main deficiency being in magnesium.


Supplements, especially mineral are needed for health in this highly toxic world we live in today.
