Colloidal Minerals
Frankly, there is a big debate about trace minerals with some claiming that they are not at all necessary. Others make a strong case for them. There may be many minerals that the body needs in trace amounts (extremely small quantities) to function properly. Dr. Linus Pauling, a two time Nobel Laureate has been quoted as saying, "You can trace every sickness, every ailment, and every disease to a mineral deficiency." You may have heard one or more of the several voices out there that claim modern people are severely deficient in these minerals and that the deficiency of such trace minerals leads to many health problems. Others say, "not". Types of Minerals There are basically three ways to go with mineral supplementation. 1. Ionic 2. Chelated. 3. Colloidal. Of the three, colloidal offers the best absorption- over 80% into the body. Chelated minerals offer the second greatest absorption at around 40% and ionic offers the least. Earl Mindell is relatively well respected in the world of natural alternatives and has written a book on trace minerals. A Possibly Biased and Refuted Source for Information One voice in particular that offers a convincing argument with lots of circumstantial and anecdotal evidence is Dr. Wallach, a Veterinarian and a Naturopathic doctor. Dr. Wallach has been criticized quite a bit for his views on colloidal mineral supplementation. He also owns a company that distributes colloidal minerals, American Longevity. He has a videotape called Dead Doctors Don't Lie . The delivery is highly entertaining if it is anything like the cassette tape that circulated several years ago. An Online Information Source for Colloidal Minerals is the Rockland Corporation One drawback, they are possibly the number one manufacturer of colloidal minerals in liquid form, so the information might be a tad on the biased side. You won't find any negatives about colloidal supplementation there. But with that in mind, they are also one of the great online information sources that make a strong case in favor of colloidal mineral supplementation. They are the The Rockland Corporation. And you can get their FAQ here.
Highest Quality at the Best Price? Possibly the best price you can get on a single bottle colloidal trace minerals is here. You may find that some companies sell reduced concentrations at higher prices which yields a lower value for the dollar. Or they may sell reduced concentrations at a lower cost, which still may not beat the Buried Treasure price. The quality Buried Treasure is 39 thousand mg per 1 quart bottle. Some other brands will sell you 16 thousand mg. and charge a lot more. Check this factor out before purchasing colloidal minerals. They also get their product from the Emery County mines in Utah. It is possible that they are buying their product from Rockland in bulk, but I have not been able to verify that. Rockland (TRC) owns much of the ground that the colloidal particles are coming from. ( In Emery) If you are interested in buying bulk from TRC, they do offer that service. Click Here to Visit Native Remedies, The Psychologist's Natural Choice
