Now let’s address Solubility.
If you think about visiting the physician in an emergency situation, the drugs and medicines used are started immediately, or intravenously. When injecting medicine into the blood, it is delivered in an aqueous or watersoluble form. This is done because it meets the body’s requirement for proper delivery to all organs, tissues, and cells. As stated from the textbook Pharmaceutical Dosage:
In applying this to nutritional supplements, the same logical thought process can be used. As further stated in Pharmaceutical Dosage:
When applying this specifically to mineral supplements it is especially important, since minerals are found naturally as metallic compounds, or simply put, ROCKS. Rocks by nature are not soluble. Put one into a glass of water, or acid, and it will still be there, undissolved, 100 years later. Minerals, or rocks, are INSOLUBLE.
We know that the human body cannot use rocks even if they’re in small pieces. That’s why when a child swallows a penny, even though it’s made of a mineral— copper—it comes out shiny. We were not designed to ingest, digest, or utilize rocks, no matter how small they may be crushed up.
But please don’t take my word for it. Graphic evidence of this is seen in wastewater treatment plants and outdoor portable toilets across America. Thousands of pounds of undigested pills and tablets, many with name brands still readable, regularly pose a challenge for facility operators. And if you know someone who has a colostomy sack, ask them what’s one of the most irritating aspects of their condition, and they’ll most likely tell you it’s cleaning the undigested tablets and pills out their bag.
One of the most amazing aspects of plants is their ability to take metallic compounds, or minerals, and transform them into a design that is water-soluble, and thus, usable by the human body.
Unfortunately, tablets, pills, chelated, and colloidal mineral supplements skip this step and do not contain minerals that are water-soluble, the net effect is shocking!
As stated in the Physicians Desk Reference, of PDR found in every doctor’s office and medical school in the country:
That means if you’ve been spending $100.00 per month on nutritional mineral supplements, a minimum of $90.00 is literally going straight down the drain. Many people notice that when they take nutritional supplements, their urine becomes discolored and cloudy. This “cloud” in the urine is the unusable mineral particles being excreted. If you want to literally see this for yourself, swallow a traditional tablet or pill, wait a coupe of hours, and then retain some of your urine in a clear cup and place in the refrigerator. Wait an hour and then look at the solution. You will be able to see sediment at the bottom of the cup. There’s your $90.00
And what about the $10.00 that did get into your bloodstream? Just because it got in, doesn’t meant it’s usable. Let’s take a traditional 1000mg calcium tablet, where 100mg MAY get absorbed into the bloodstream. The number one ingredient in 70% of calcium supplements on the market is something called calcium carbonate.
What is Calcium Carbonate?
Calcium carbonate is a natural metallic compound. It is found naturally in our soils, as rock, but before ever making it into our bodies, it was intended to go through the “plant process” which breaks the bonds of that compound to free-up the calcium.
When the plant process is skipped, and calcium carbonate is used as the straight source of calcium, we are in trouble. There is no plant on earth that delivers calcium as calcium carbonate to our bodies. Likewise, there is no plant that delivers chromium as chromium picolinate, magnesium as magnesium stearate, or zinc as zinc picolinate.
Would you eat blackboard chalk on a daily basis? Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? Well, calcium carbonate is nothing more than blackboard chalk! It’s the scum around your faucets and the ring around your bathtub. Calcium carbonate is the same as that 15 lb bag of limestone they sell at the the local feed store for $5! It was never intended to be used as nutrition for our bodies!
When ingested and absorbed into the bloodstream, this “chalk” floats around, gumming us up, until it is deposited in the soft tissues, again, making us susceptible to:
And its not just ingredients used for calcium supplements, but the majority of ingredients used in most tablets, pills, and colloidal products. Think of it this way, the friend you invited over to help clean your house, once he got inside, just sat around, and actually, instead of cleaning, made his own mess. That friend, whom you hoped would be useful, became “useless” and you soon want to kick him out as soon as possible, before he creates more problems for you. In the same way, despite the pretty labels and clever commercials, the majority of products you invite into your home or body, just like that friend, are useless if not in the correct design—a design that is the correct particle size, is water soluble, and what we’ll talk about in a moment, ionic.
