Vitamins & Minerals

I have always believed that we should strive to eat things
that were created by Nature, and in as natural a form as
possible. Our bodies were designed to absorb nutrients in
chelated form. In reviewing the many nutritional supplements
available for sale, I recognized that the heating, and high
degree of processing changed them from chelated form to a
manufactured form that cannot be fully and efficiently
metabolized by our bodies. I knew that many of the higher
quality of these products were in a base of natural
ingredients and herbs, but wondered what the actual vitamins
and minerals were made out of. I had assumed the were made
from food.

As it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth.
Most vitamin and mineral supplements currently made are NOT
blended foods. In fact most are made from very undesirable,
even horrifying substances. If you look on your current
bottle of nutrients, it will state the vitamins, minerals,
and a long list of non nutrient items that do not offer any
wanted benefits, such as starch, wheat, cellulose, soy,
lactose coloring, flavoring, fillers, etc.

Commercial grade vitamin and mineral concentrates are
synthesized by the big pharmaceutical and chemical
industries* from the same starting material that drugs are
made from (coal tar, petroleum products, animal by-products
/ waste and fecal matter, ground rocks, stones, shells and
metal). These processed materials are sold to many nutrient
manufacturers. The manufacturers are just mixing middlemen
who don't even know how these various vitamins and minerals
are made, or from what, nobody asks. Everybody just assumes
a vitamin is a vitamin.

The United States Pharmacopeia ( U.S.P. ) states that if a
product looks similar under a microscope, or in analysis,
that it is the same regardless of what it is made out of.
For instance salicylic acid u.s.p. is considered identical
whether it comes from wintergreen leaves or by boiling
coal in carbolic and sulfuric acids. It also considers
glycerin u.s.p. identical whether it is made from fresh
vegetables, toxic minerals or boiled down animal
carcasses, cartilage and feet.

Vitamins

Many products marketed as natural vitamins, may actually be
derived from sources that are not very desireable. Vitamin
B-12 and cyanocobalamin, is made from either ground up cow
livers or activated sewage sludge. If our cows are fed
steroids, antibiotics, growth hormones and grass full of
pesticides, how toxic are their livers? The sewage sludge is
just that, fecal matter.

Given that in today's environment, our immune systems are
already depressed, these materials would be a health risk,
not a health benefit. Just because a so-called natural
substance (fecal matter is a natural substance) is high in a
particular vitamin, does not make it suitable for food.

Vitamin A is made from fish liver juices that we know are
loaded with PCB's and mercury, B vitamins from coal tar and
petro-chemicals, known central nervous system depressants,
respiratory irritants and carcinogens, Vitamin C from acid
blends irritating to the lining of the digestive tract,
Vitamin D from radiated oil, Vitamin E from Eastman Kodak,
and on and on. We are too often driven by the financial
needs of business and too little for our true well-being.

Minerals

The minerals commonly used in mineral supplements are mined
ore, pulverized and powdered to a fine dust. Some calcium is
made from ground up oyster shells. This is not a form that
is useable by our bodies. Modern research confirms that
minerals of this type are 99% inassimilable. The
manufacturers response to this is to add pig digestive
enzymes, which supposedly pre-digests it or chelates it, in
their attempts to force our body to accept these toxic
materials. We cannot find any proof that this provides any
duplication of chelation.

These manufactured supplements not only provide little
benefit, they could contribute to the further
accumulation of toxins in our bodies. What we need is a
natural whole food.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a whole food containing all the
vitamins and minerals required to be healthy. Algae is the
fundamental basis of the entire food chain -- the
foundational nutrient source for creating and renewing all
life on earth. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is the crème de la
crème of all algae, one of the planet's most powerful foods.
Tucked away in the Cascade Mountains of Southern Oregon, fed
by a network of mountain streams and springs, anchored in
deep volcanic soil and 35 feet of mineral-rich sediment,
Upper Klamath Lake is one of nature's most miraculous
nutrition resources of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. This single-
celled organism is richly endowed with a vast array of
easily assimilated nutrients including: essential fatty
acids, active enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, minerals,
protein, complex sugars, and phytonutrients.

Hi, Years ago I was diagnosed that I was allergic to
something that is common within adult multivitamins. When
I take a multivitamin I wind up in the hospital for days.
It is not very nice. My doctor years ago told me to chew a
few children's vitamins instead. I currently chew 2
Flinstones a day. Has anyone heard of any ill effects or
have negative reactions to this choice? I have not found
any information concerning this topic.

Thanks, Brian

That's not crediting your source, Spammin' Dave, because you
didn't write *that* [censored] either. Where'd you steal it?

No, it's not. You're lying again, Spammin' Dave. Algae is a
*terrible* source of most nutrients; you'd have to consume
bottles of the stuff every day just to reach RDA levels,
and you wouldn't be getting balanced amounts of them even
if you did.

The nutrition labels tell the story -- and the story is that
the algae is a very poor choice if you're trying to get your
vitamins and minerals. You'd do almost as well going out to
the yard and eating grass.
