I have been searching for information on our bodies requirements for vitamins, minerals and trace minerals. The information I have so far found has been very sketchy and conflicted. I do understand that the RDI currently used are probably incorrect. I have been trying to find what our body really needs, and which can be taken in larger doses. For me the ideal would be food based, and I will adjust my diet accordingly. I truly believe food is medicine. However, I would certainly be open to vitamins where I would be unable to eat enough in a day. Another thing I am really looking for is info on what happens to vitamins in the cooking, canning and freezing process, so I can compensate properly. I am also interested in juicing, and have found a juicer that stays cool (it won't fit the budget yet, maybe by next fall), but I am curious about which vitamins make it through the juicer and which end up in the pulp, and if there is a way to get the pulp into me or does it just have to get thrown out.
I would be interested in any info you can send me, and any links as well. And don't worry about sending me too much info, as this is the main focus of my spare time, and I love to read and learn. I will send this not to you personally and to the group, but feel free to email me privately with info if you prefer. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Chamberlin [mailto:tcj...@yahoo.ca] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 8:04 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>taking supplements Thora said: > I never have taken vitamins until recently, and that sporadically. Actually, although vitamins are important, they are used by the body to utilize minerals (plus other functions). We are MADE of minerals. Some years ago I searched the net to find a good source of minerals. My criteria was that I wanted a supplement that contained as many minerals as possible (a comprehensive mineral formula), that was liquid (the most assimilable form), that was organic minerals (as opposed to metallic minerals) and that was reasonably priced. I found a dozen companies (at least) that claimed to sell such a product. I bought from a number of them, drank it like water and observed my body's response. Only two of the products I tested on myself had any affect on me. The rest had as much affect as if I was just drinking lemonade (in fact, I think in some of them, that IS all I was drinking!). The two products were a liquid mineral supplement offered by a multi-level company called New Vision. They recommended you drink one ounce per day (one bottle per month), but I found that it didn't really improve things until you drank 2 - 4 ounces per day. At $36 per bottle (Canadian), that added up pretty quick. The other product is called Concentrace, sold by a company called Trace Minerals Research, in Utah. They are NOT multi-level, and turn out to be the most economical mineral product I've seen on the market. Also the most comprehensive mineral supplement I've found. Concentrace contains every single mineral needed by the human body (well over 100). (Since these minerals are in trace amounts, this is not a good supplement to fill your calcium needs, or any other macro-minerals.) It is also the most concentrated mineral supplement on the market. The recommended daily dose is 1/4 tsp, 2xday. Of course, you can exceed that dose and benefit even more. I have clients who ingest one tsp, 2xday. They tell me they do this because they have so demineralized their bodies in the last 30 or more years that they want to put it back as fast as possible. 80% of my clients tell me that they experience noticeable health improvements within 24 hours after starting Concentrace (usually improved digestion and regularity, among other things). I approached this company and asked them if I could buy from them wholesale to sell to my clients (who are ALL demineralized). They told me they ONLY sell to Health Food stores. I kept bugging them, and finally got a chance to meet with the owner of the Canadian distribution company. He finally agreed to sell to me, and he tells me I am the only private individual in Canada who is allowed to buy from them (but I also sell more of their product than many HF stores!). Call all the HF stores around you and ask if they carry it. I can sell it to you, but a HF store will sell it cheaper. (I am required to price it higher than a HF store so I am not competing with them.) Even so, a 3-month supply is only $30. I have an article I can send to those who request it which explains the part minerals play in our health. I am told it is quite interesting and informative. (It is, but I am trying to be humble.) Thora, it sounds like, among other things, that you could benefit from a program to remineralize your body. I would highly recommend you acquire some Concentrace for this purpose.
