 Tikun Ormus - The Benefit of Minerals
Most Americans are mineral deficient.
The food that we are eating has almost exhausted many farms of their mineral wealth and now a large majority of farmed produce is simply grown to look green using Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (NPK).
Dangerous Precedent
Good health is the essence of life. If you do not have your health, life can be extremely miserable.
Because the food we eat is lower in minerals and overall nutrition, we are trending to eat more and more which means that we put on weight and go for "quick fix meals" such as sugar based snacks (ie chocolates etc).
Most people do not know that SUGAR acidifies the blood and by doing so, it causes the calcium in our bodies to dissolve. This is not a good thing.
Acidifed blood has also been linked to some cancers. (Raymond Rife et al)
These sugars (etc) include most sweet things that we take for granted these days. Such as...
- Soft Drinks / Sodas
- Cakes
- Ice Cream (especially bad)
- Corn Syrup
- White Sugar
- Processed foods with white sugar added (such as fruit etc)
This Blood Acidification can be extra bad especially for women after menopause who often have enough problems with their bones as it is.

| Fluoride |
Function
Organic Fluoride (from the ground is beneficial) the stuff they feed us in our water supply is NOT organic.
Involved in formation of bones and teeth; helps prevent tooth decay.

PLEASE NOTE: The fluoride which is included in our drinking water is NOT NATURAL fluoride despite what ignorant or dishonest dentists may tell you.
It is a TOXIC BY-PRODUCT from Aluminum smelting (processing).
It is HIGHLY toxic and highly carcinogenic PLUS is causes neurological problems and basically makes you dumber.
