Good health entails a high level of physical, mental, and spiritual well being. The key to health and well being is found in maintaining a proper nutritional foundation, as excess or deficiency in any of the primary chemical elements needed in human nutrition could account for most diseases and pathogenetic mental symptoms. Human body tissue can neither be restored nor rejuvenated without proper nutritional support; eating correctly should, therefore, be our number one priority, but the reality of our highly processed fast food society is that today it is very difficult to follow a healthy diet and even more difficult for our body to digest, absorb, and metabolize the foods we eat into useable elements necessary for proper body function. The problem is compounded by the fact that many fruits and vegetables are picked green before they absorb the proper life-giving nutrients (for easier transportation to markets) and that our soil is largely depleted of the essential elements. Nutrient depleted soil = Nutrient depleted food.

Our bodies are not designed to ingest and assimilate foods that have been irradiated, devitalized, are deficient in vitamins, enzymes, fiber, and nutrients, and loaded with additives designed to give them eternal shelf life. Such "food" leads to sickness and disease. Since every disease takes time to develop, eliminating disease takes time, too. Hering’s Law of Cure states: "when we use the drugless healing arts, all illness is reversed and we go through a remission period in which we pick up again our old troubles. Thus gradually, we reverse from the chronic stage of disease toward good health by entering a healing crisis when an acute stage has been reached, often the discharge stage." In the same way our bodies are not designed to ingest and assimilate inferior foods, our bodies do not thrive on pharmaceutical drugs created in a laboratory. Drugs are not structured or evolved for compatibility with the human organism. More often than not, drugs cause side effects that range from uncomfortable to severe to lethal.

We need to return to a simpler, more natural way of life. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries, and herbs. When available, choose organically raised beef and chicken, and fresh fish. Finally, get plenty of fresh air and sunshine, exercise and adequate rest.

Minerals (or elements), come from the earth, and eventually return to the earth, and can most simply be defined as chemical molecules that cannot be reduced to simpler substances. They exist in their inorganic state in the earth, and in their organic state as the basic constituent of all living matter. The main elements essential to health, each of which makes up more than .01 percent of total body weight, are termed macrominerals (calcium, phosphorus, chlorine, potassium, sulfur, sodium, magnesium and silicon). The next group of elements, termed microminerals or trace minerals, each of which constitute less than .01 percent of total body weight, though found only in minute amounts, are also essential to health (iron, copper, zinc, iodine, cobalt, bromide, boron, manganese, selenium, fluorine, molybdenum, vanadium, arsenic and chromium). Other elements contained in the body include some of the toxic metals (lead, aluminum, cadmium, and mercury).

Aluminum is actually one of the most abundant elements on the earth. It makes up one seventh of the earth’s crust, and is always combined with some other element. It is a major component of all life, including our food chain. Beans alone have tested an incredibly high 1,640 ppm. It is in everything we eat, but in its natural form. Only when used in excess amounts in this form is it known to be toxic and not for human consumption; the same goes for all trace elements including arsenic, lead, iron, mercury, etc. All are natural minerals that are necessary for human nutrition, but can be toxic in excess amounts.

It is important to get these elements in the proper particle size. The incorrect size can cause serious problems and health issues. A plant will automatically sort and sift through the soil to absorb those minerals and elements that will permeate at the cellular level and "feed" it. When we then eat the plant, those nutrients enter our body and work in much the same way as it did for the plant. Most of the food we partake of today, however, has many of these elements in the improper form and are not the proper size for our own cells to absorb and use.

There have been several studies done on aluminum. Gerhardt Schrauzer, PhD, head of chemistry at UCSD insists that aluminum is essential to human nutrition. The "Harvard University Newsletter" has stated that in all of the scientific research done, none of the reports stated what form of aluminum is poisonous, natural or synthetic.

Any element found to occur naturally in the soil or plants is organic. It was put there long before man ever came along. It is when man refines out these minerals to use in food products, etc., that it changes from an organic and natural form to a synthetic one. All trace elements are needed and even required to sustain human life, but only in trace amounts. Anything in excess is to be avoided whether natural or synthetic.

Metal poisoning, from too much of a mineral, primarily affects the metabolic enzymes, brain and nervous system, but can affect many other bodily functions as well. In addition to the toxic metals, some essential elements, such as copper, iodine, selenium, chromium, iron and calcium, are more likely than other minerals to cause health problems when high levels are present in the body, resulting either from excessive intake or reduced ability to eliminate them. Although your body can manufacture some vitamins, it cannot make minerals. Thus a deficiency of minerals is more common than a deficiency of vitamins. Minerals are harder to extract from food complexes during digestion and there is more "uptake" competition compared to vitamins.

WaterOz mineral dietary supplements are the purest minerals available on the market (up to 99.9999% pure) and the purest water (a five step purification process assures absolutely pure water). Nothing more, nothing less. WaterOz, through a complex proprietary process, liquefies minerals to a state where (when dehydrated) they will grow crystals. Each mineral presents unique problems that must be overcome in a different manner than each other mineral. This process duplicates nature’s method of turning minerals from the earth into a form useable by man. When a plant processes minerals from the earth, the minerals end up in the crystalline form necessary in order to be useable and absorbable by the body.
