The claim of vaccines causing disease instead of preventing it is the most controversial topic that we are covering in this report. The fact remains that most people in the medical profession view vaccines as life saving and one of the greatest medical breakthroughs of our time. We have covered this topic quite extensively over the years through our newspaper and have challenged vaccines on a number of fronts proving the exact opposite of what is claimed.

The government and the medical community continue to deny that vaccines are the direct cause of autism, which the CDC in 2012 claims effects 1 in 88 children. Others claim it is more like 1 in 68 children, and these figures do not include all the other children with learning disabilities, ADHD, and a number of other diagnosed medical conditions.

One of the greatest lies you will ever hear is that vaccination programs caused the decline of childhood diseases in the 20th century. This is complete fiction. The truth is well documented that these rates declined by 90% before the introduction of mass/routine vaccination campaigns. This evidence is shown in different countries, and the World Health Organization was forced to concede that sanitation and better hygiene are some of the main reasons why disease mortality and morbidity have declined. Think about it – it has just been over the last century or so that we have had access to all the modern conveniences of clean water, toilets, hot water, showers, sewer sanitation and all the disinfectants available. In places such as Africa, India and other third world countries where infectious diseases are still rampant it has more to do with not having access to proper hygiene, clean water and good food than it does with not having vaccines. Vaccines can’t protect your body from drinking water that is contaminated with feces. Mandating that all doctors wash their hands, wear surgical masks and gloves is even more recent. Just simple hand washing alone before delivering babies caused a 30% drop in infant mortality. Yet the medical profession credits all of this success to vaccines.

Despite overwhelming evidence, proponents of the Sacred Cow continually covet this accomplishment as their own. Realizing that this deception is “the rock” of the Sa- cred Cow church is essential in seeing the myth and hypocrisy of vaccines.

Vaccines Are Loaded With Toxic Contaminants

To grasp the vaccine beasts’ evil, one need only examine the ingredients of these highly toxic concoctions. Many Christians will be appalled at how vaccines are made and the contents, which resemble a witches’ brew. In short, vaccines contain toxic chemical components such as, but not limited to:

Formaldehyde (Embalming fluid constituent), Thimerosal (Nearly 50% mercury), Aluminum Phosphate (Highly toxic and carcinogenic), Antibiotics (Anti = Against Bio = Life), Phenols (Corrosive to skin - toxic to all cells), Aluminum Salts (Corrosive to tissue - neurotoxic), Methanol (Alcohol -toxic), Isopropyl (Alcohol - toxic), 2 Pheoxyethanol (Alcohol - toxic).

(The full make up of vaccines are not known. Vaccine manufacturers do not divulge their secret formulas and are protected by law in this under the guise of “proprietary data.”

In addition to these toxic chemical components, there are other toxins and poisons, which are antigenic components. These are essentially proteins capable of causing the disease and eliciting an immune response. They are the central features of each vaccine. For example, Polio vaccines or Influenza vaccines contain either killed, live or “acellular” antigens. In short, vaccines contain the pathogenic disease they are trying to prevent.

There are also contaminants and additives as well as ingredients that get included during the “serial passage” or growing of the vaccine pathogens, such as but not limited to:

Animal Blood/Serum (Calves, pigs, horses, sheep, etc.), Animal DNA (Calves, pigs, horses, sheep, etc.),

Chicken Embryo, ABORTED FETAL TISSUE (In the Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Chickenpox vaccines),

Simian ImmunoVirus - 40 (SV-40 is a monkey disease parallel to AIDS/HIV), Mycoplasma (Linked to Chronic Fatigue/ CFIDS, and many other degenerative diseases), Endotoxins (Toxic), Unknown Pathogens/Contaminants (Again... proprietary data)

Just a simple search on Google about the SV-40 virus that was found in the polio vaccine will lead you to all kinds of interesting information that shows it to be responsible for a number of cancers. After half a century, the 108th U.S. Congress House of Representatives Subcommittee on Human Rights and Wellness finally held a hearing September 10, 2003, on the simian virus (SV-40) that was included in the original polio vaccine produced and administered to children in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Candidly, the first page of the transcript for the hearing states:

“There is no dispute that millions of Americans received polio vaccines that were contaminated with the virus called Simian Virus 40, or SV–40. There also is no dispute that SV–40 is capable of causing cancer, but there is a major dispute as to how many Americans may have received the contaminated vaccine, with estimates ranging from 4 million to 100 million people. There is also a major dispute as to when the polio vaccine supply got cleaned up. In addition, nobody knows how many people got sick or died because of the contaminated vaccines.”

Injecting foreign viruses into the body can have all kinds of unknown, deadly consequences. All vaccines have some type of effect on your DNA. DNA is what codes life to all the cells of your body. Mankind is interfering with life and health by “experimenting” on the global population with vaccines. The simple truth of the matter is those most responsible for promoting vaccines in the last century have been those involved in advancing eugenics. The evidence is there for anyone willing to do some investigation. If you don’t want to succumb to disease in your lifetime, you will examine this topic further and look into all of the other viable, natural, safe alternatives that are suppressed by medical science that can protect your body from infectious diseases people are vaccinated for to prevent.

ANTIBIOTICS KILL YOUR GOOD BACTERIA, LEADING TO SERIOUS HEALTH RISKS

“It is ironic that this humbled fungus, hailed as a benefactor of mankind, may by its very success prove to be a deciding factor in the decline of the present civilization.” - Dr. John I. Pitt, The Genus Penicillium, Academic Press, 1979

Intestinal flora (probiotics) are colonies of life generating microscopic bacteria found in both the small and large intestine. Flora serves as the intestinal system’s clean-up crew and is also responsible for synthesizing a wide variety of nutrients in a manner that is similar to how microbes in the soil function with plants. The definition of “aerobic” is anything that pertains to, or is caused by the presence of oxygen. Anything anaerobic either lacks oxygen or causes the destruction of oxygen. With probiotics, we are talking about life-giving oxygen producing bacteria.

Every cell of the body requires oxygen to survive. Without oxygen, we would be dead. Oxygen is also nature’s most effective sterilizer and deodorizer. A healthy intestinal system contains hundreds of different strains of friendly aerobic bacteria to keep the intestinal system clean and anaerobic bacteria in check. In addition, flora supports the body’s immune system; helping it to ward off harmful pathogens and it supports the immune system’s front line defenders, such as your T-cells and natural killer cells. The whole battle of good and bad bacteria that determines health or sickness takes place primarily in your intestinal system. This is why proper digestion, waste removal, and flora balance are so critical when it comes to staying healthy or restoring lost health.

FLORA’S WORST ENEMY – ANTIBIOTICS!

While probiotic means to be in favor of life, antibiotic has the exact opposite meaning. “Anti” means to be against something. In other words, antibiotics by the very name they are referred to are counterproductive to life itself. The main problem with antibiotics is that they cannot distinguish between the good and the bad germs. Antibiotics can kill everything in most cases. Excessive use of antibiotics will literally cause havoc on your digestive system, which then has a cascading domino effect on your entire health. Antibiotics have been overprescribed by doctors for decades and very few people who use them even understand the importance of rebuilding healthy intestinal flora after taking a round of antibiotics.

If life and health are important to you, then you will avoid antibiotics, unless they are necessary to overcome a stubborn infection or keep you alive during a health crisis. Many of the health problems people are enduring today can be directly attributed to the overuse of antibiotics. Sadly, in their lack of understanding on how the human body functions, doctors are prescribing antibiotics as though they’re handing out candy. How many people run to the doctor at the first sniffle to get on a cycle of antibiotics? We need to question medical intervention a little further before putting things into our body that can potentially harm it. There are plenty of safe, natural alternatives such as colloidal silver that can do amazing things for fighting infections without harming your body’s delicate flora balance. The following information below is a snippet taken from a chapter of Doug Kaufmann’s book that was published on

Dr. Mercola’s website:

“Yeasts are opportunistic organisms. This means that as the intestinal bacteria die, yeasts thrive, especially when their dietary needs are met. They can use their tendrils, or hyphae, to literally poke holes through the lining of your intestinal wall. This results in a syndrome called leaky gut. Yeasts are not the only possible cause of this syndrome. Some scientists have linked non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as naproxen and ibuprofen to the problem. Given their ability to alter intestinal terrain, antibiotics also likely contribute to leaky gut syndrome.

In addition to possibly causing leaky gut syndrome, I believe that parasitic yeasts can also cause you to change what you eat in that they encourage you to binge on carbohydrates including pasta, bread, sugar, potatoes, etc. So, it should come as no surprise that weight gain counts as one of the telltale signs of antibiotic damage and subsequent yeast overgrowth. By altering the normal terrain of the intestines, antibiotics can also make food allergies more likely. An array of intestinal disorders can ensue, as well. Sadly, most doctors claim ignorance concerning their patients’ intestinal disorders rather than admit that the drugs they themselves prescribed actually caused the disorders to begin with.

The time span between when patients take rounds of antibiotics and when they die interests me. That’s because I believe that few people really die of heart disease and diabetes. In actuality, antibiotics are responsible for deaths attributed to these diseases, because these drugs are what caused people to develop the diseases to begin with. And yet, incredibly, death certificates usually state the probable cause of death syndromes have been identified, with new conditions coming to light every day.’ The report goes on to say that research indicates that “increased antibiotic use in human infancy may be associated with increased risk of developing allergies.”

DOMINO #6 – TOXINS FOOD, INDUSTRIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL & COSMETIC

This topic is so vast that it is impossible to do full justice to it in this report. Instead, we will touch on some of the bigger issues and give you enough information to get you to investigate this more thoroughly on your own.

Most foods and beverages being sold on the market should be classified as deadly poisons. In any given year, common foods and beverages claim more victims than any terrorist organization. Most foods and beverages on the market contain artificial growth hormones, antibiotics, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, artificial colors, preservatives, additives, bleaches, dyes, sodium nitrate, excitotoxins, neurotoxins, heavy metals, synthetic vitamins, inorganic minerals, emulsifiers, stabilizers, solvents, hydrogenated fats, pesticides, herbicides, and other toxic compounds that were never intended for human consumption.

Why are the FDA, EPA, and USDA allowing this to occur? The answer is they are in cahoots with the corporations that are doing these things to our food supply. Major government agencies allow corporate interest groups to buy legitimacy with the American public. The federal government, on behalf of the big corporations, is rubber stamping toxic warfare to be conducted against the American people by allowing many of these potentially harmful products on the market. Unless you understand the seriousness of these problems and take action yourself, chances are likely that you will succumb to some kind of illness or health problem and exit this planet prematurely. While we can’t focus on every single food toxin described above, let’s look at two of the most common in a little more depth – MSG and Aspartame.

without mentioning whether the deceased had a history of taking antibiotics.

Remember, antibiotics are dangerous mycotoxins -- fungal metabolites. Just as importantly, medical experts have written articles maintaining that these drugs kill people. But, other experts insist on remaining skeptical as to the problem, even though these same experts readily recognize the link between weakened immune systems and death.

According to the 2001 Allergy and Asthma Report, the first immunodeficiency syndrome was identified in 1952. This document tells us that since that time, ‘more than 95 immune

MSG is found in so many products that are on the market that there would be a famine if the government ever mandated that this ingredient be removed. It is so common that you literally have to avoid all fast food restaurants, almost all brand-name packaged, boxed or canned foods, and most soda and bottled drinks. MSG is the acronym for monosodium glutamate. Technically speaking, MSG is approximately 78% free glutamic acid, approximately 21% sodium, and up to 1% contaminants.

According to the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, “MSG is a food additive that enhances flavors in food. It virtually has no flavor of its own, but neurologically causes people to experience a more intense flavor from the foods that they eat containing the substance. To millions of consumers, it means experiencing an adverse effect from the additive and possible adverse health effects in the future. To the food industry, it means increased profits, a simple way to balance taste in a product line and mask unwanted tastes, and to make otherwise unpalatable foods acceptable. In particular, MSG helps replace flavor lost by elimination of fat in many low-fat and no-fat foods.”

Let’s take what Price-Pottenger said one step further. MSG addicts people to a food or beverage. That’s one of the main reasons why it is used. The FDA requires food manufacturers to label monosodium glutamate. Unfortunately, there are a whole host of other ingredients that are found on labels that contain free glutamic acid and are used deceptively by manufacturers to mislead consumers that may want to avoid this toxic agent. Here’s a list of ingredients found on many labels that usually contain MSG that you need to be aware of:

Natural flavoring, natural flavors, yeast extract, autolyzed yeast, textured protein, hydrolyzed protein, seasonings, sodium caseinate, gelatin.

Any time you see one of these ingredients on a product label, even if it’s in a health food store, you should consider avoiding it if you don’t want to consume MSG. The words “Natural Flavoring” or “Natural Flavors” are some of the most deceptive ingredients listed on the labels of many foods and beverages. The Code of Federal Regulations mandates that the terms “Flavors,” “Natural Flavors,” or “Flavorings” may not include MSG, hydrolyzed proteins, and autolyzed yeast. Each of these must be declared on the label by its common name rather than hidden within another blanket.

However, manufacturers have some clever and deceptive ways to get around these regulations. Companies are able to bypass these laws by changing the molecular structure of the chemical they are trying to hide until its previous name no longer exists. If there is one molecule difference with MSG, and the chemical mixture tastes like a “natural flavor,” that is all they need to call it one and not MSG.

One of the leading experts on the dangers of MSG and other artificial food ingredients is Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., author of the book “Excitotoxins – The Taste That Kills.” Blaylock says that MSG literally stimulates neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Blaylock contends that there is scientific evidence that proves MSG and other excitotoxins like aspartame can cause brain damage in your children, affect your nervous system, and even precipitate many of the neurodegenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and Alzheimer’s disease. In Blaylock’s book, he talks about the findings of Dr. John W. Olney, M.D., a neuroscientist working at the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Olney tested MSG on animals, and Blaylock says: “His findings indicated that MSG was not only toxic to the retina, but also to the brain. When he examined the animals’ brains, he discovered that specialized cells in a critical area of the animals’ brain, the hypothalamus, were destroyed after a single dose of MSG.”

Aspartame is probably one of the most toxic substances you can put into your body. Trying to avoid consuming aspartame is like trying to find your way through a maze. If the food giants can’t get you with MSG, then they’ve got aspartame as their clean-up hitter. Aspartame is found in thousands of different products on the market, everything from gum, breath mints, diet soda, tea, sports drinks, candy bars, yogurt, protein powders, ice cream, children’s vitamins, cake mixes, coffee creamers, toothpaste, mouthwash, ad Infinitum.

Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. Aspartame is the generic name for the common brand names NutraSweet and Equal. Like MSG, aspartame is also classified as an excitotoxin and a neurotoxin. There is no single substance that has ever been used like aspartame that has caused as many adverse side effects in people. There are over 92 different documented symptoms listed by the FDA as being caused by aspartame including Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.

While these issues above just deal with the food, we are literally barraged with a host of other environmental and industrial toxins that are present in our air and water. There is evidence of widespread contamination of water resources in many areas of our country coming from agriculture, urban runoff/storm water, and municipalities adding these chemicals to our water. More than 200 chemical constituents have been documented in tap water alone. The health effects of long term exposure to many of the contaminants entering our water supply are unknown.

Below is a list of many of the common contaminants that can be found in public and private drinking water supplies.

2,4,5-TP, 2,4-D, Alachlor, Arsenic, Asbestos, Atrazine, Bacteria, Barium, Cadmium, Carbufuran, Chloramine, Chlordane, Chlorides, Chlorine, Chlorination By-Products, Cryptosporidium, Cysts, Dibromochloropropane, Ethylene Dibromide, Fluoride, Heptachlor, Hydrogen Sulfide, Lead, Lindane, Mercury, Methoxychlor, MTBE, Nitrate, Nitrite, Particulate Matter, PCB, Perchlorates, Radium, Radon, Selenium, Styrene, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Toxaphene, Trichloroethylene (TCE), Trihalomethanes (TTHM), Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs), Xylenes.

On top of all the chemicals we consume, we are literally poisoning ourselves to death with soap, shampoo, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, lipstick, makeup, creams and a host of cosmetics. Over the past half century, tens of thousands of new chemicals have come into use. They have revolutionized industrial processes and changed the way we live. It is estimated that approximately 1000 new chemicals are quietly introduced to the marketplace every year. Some have been shown to be carcinogens and have toxic effects on reproduction in humans and animals. Others may be endocrine disrupters, chemicals that affect the hormone producing organs of the body.

All of these chemicals have a correlating negative effect on the body’s cells. There is only so much that the liver, kidneys, colon, lymphatic and respiratory system can process before the body becomes overwhelmed. If you have a chance of warding off disease, you will have to make a concerted effort avoiding as many of these toxins as possible, even though it is not entirely possible to eliminate them. That’s why regular detoxification protocols are imperative. However, avoiding many of the food contaminants is not as hard as you think if you start eating wisely. It is also possible to use very powerful and effective water filtration devices that can remove a large percentage of all these contaminants. You really have no choice except to do your best and make the investment because the result is an early exit from the planet if you don’t take any action.

DOMINO #7 – GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS (GMOs)

The entire human race has been turned into a genetic experiment. This all started back in the mid 1990’s when Monsanto and a few other biotech companies thought they knew what was best for our foods and started manipulating milk production with cows and the genetic traits of key crops such as soy, corn, cotton and canola. Tinkering with genes and doing things with foods that God never intended is a gross violation of creation. In a little over 15 years, we’ve gone from very few genetically altered products being on the market to having almost 70 to 80% of the bottled, canned and packaged food products on the market containing at least one ingredient that came about through genetic engineering.

There are no laws that mandate that food companies have to tell us which ingredients are genetically engineered. We’ve been denied our right to know what’s going into a product. The FDA doesn’t believe we need to be concerned; they claim that a product is the same as long as its nutritional make-up is the same. This means that if a tomato is still red and has the same relative protein, fat and carbohydrate content that a conventional tomato has, it’s not important what genes were inserted onto its DNA. The EPA says these foods are safe even though genetic engineering has turned some crops into pesticide breeding factories. Other crops have been manipulated to make them immune to herbicides such as Roundup. Genetic engineering isn’t about creating better products that benefit humanity. It is a huge scam, and it’s being used to destroy farmers and allow a handful of corporations such as Monsanto to control all food production on planet earth.

The sad truth is we really don’t know what the long-term consequences are going to be from eating foods manipulated through genetic engineering. There were no human safety studies done to validate these products to be safe before being released into the market. The government never required it, and the biotech companies tried to bury any field tests they conducted that showed a potential problem. There are hundreds of well respected scientists who question genetic engineering. Some say there may be a link to cancer from these foods. Our DNA could be altered and send incorrect messages to our cells that cause mutations because we’re now eating genes that we never ate before.

Researches such as Jeffrey Smith, author of the book “Seeds of Deception” and “Genetic Roulette” says that there is evidence to show that gut flora has been found to contain the bacterial genes used in altering genetically engineered crops. Well, is that a concern? Gut flora and digestion are what keeps us alive. Your body needs healthy gut flora to process all of its nutrition. As we discussed earlier, pesticides and fertilizers actually destroy beneficial microbes in soil that plants use to uptake nutrients. The same thing could be happening when genetically engineered ingredients enter our digestive system. The biggest area of impact is mineral depletion, and as we already know, mineral deficiencies are a big cause of disease. We don’t have a clue what effect these genes may have on our flora or our digestive system in the long run. We’ve got sick crops, sick animals and sick people that have all been harmed in some way or another by genetic engineering, yet we’re turning a blind eye as though everything is fine. The only way to avoid the problem for sure, at least for now, is to go organic.

Many dairy cows today are injected with a powerful genetically engineered hormone called rBGH or Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone. This hormone is a genetically engineered replica of the natural growth hormone somatotropin that is produced in a cow’s pituitary gland. Cows injected with rBGH produce up to 30% more milk compared to non-treated cows. Unfortunately, the result is a lot of sick cows because this process is something entirely unnatural. This is cows on steroids! To treat the sick cows, the entire herd is given powerful antibiotics and other drugs. We’re told from the government that very little if any of these by-products make their way into dairy products consumed by humans. However, in 1990 the government raised the standard for antibiotic residues in milk from one part per hundred million to one part per million. That’s a hundred-fold increase! Did you know that the largest users of antibiotics are dairy farmers? To think that these by-products aren’t making their way into dairy products is absurd.

Robert Cohen, author of the controversial book “Milk –The Deadly Poison” says that the new milk from cows treated with rBGH contains increased levels of these same potent growth factors. Could this be one of the reasons why young girls and boys are going through puberty at a much earlier age than before? According to Cohen, “After cows were injected with this hormone, their milk contained increased levels of another hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), the most powerful growth hormone occurring in nature. The greatest biological coincidence of all time had occurred. IGF-I was identical between cows and humans. No other hormone known to science is identical between another species of animals and humans. IGF-I is the lone exception, containing 70 amino acids in the same gene sequence in humans and bovines. When we drink milk we are taking in the most powerful hormone naturally produced by our own bodies. However, the survival of this growth hormone in milk is safeguarded by naturally occurring mechanisms unique to milk.”

We have also seen some very disturbing evidence recently where guinea pigs fed an exclusive diet of GMO corn developed large tumors and had heavy amounts of damage to multiple organs. There are so many reports of ill effects from GMO’s that it is astounding they are even allowed on the market. There are reports of health problems from unapproved corn called Star-Link that found its way into a host of products. There are farmers who have reported that their entire herds became sterile after feeding them GMO corn. There are links to infant mortality, allergies, organ defects, intestinal damage, liver damage and a wide range of other problems. If you are serious about not becoming another disease statistic, then avoidance of GMO’s is imperative.

Pharmaceutical Drugs Only Treat Symptoms While Doing Nothing To Fix The Underlying Causes Of Disease

As we conclude our examination of the seven dominos of disease, we have to put this into perspective when it comes to drug based medicine. Nothing in Big Pharma’s medical tool box fixes any of these causes of disease. What pharmaceutical drugs can cure the damage caused by refined, processed foods? What pharmaceutical drugs can fix widespread mineral and nutritional deficiencies? What pharmaceutical drugs can detoxify the body of pesticides, heavy metals, toxic fats and oils, vaccine contaminants, food toxins and other environmental toxins? What pharmaceutical drugs can correct the damage caused by GMO foods? What pharmaceutical drugs can correct free radical damage in the body as a result of all these dominos of disease? The answer to every one of these questions is none! How could pharmaceutical drugs fix any of these problems when they’re poisonous, destructive, symptom suppressive agents instead of nutritive, constructive and healing agents? Unless a patient under a doctor’s care addresses water, minerals and oxygen or takes the initiative to do it on their own they will never be set free from disease and will spend a lifetime in bondage to drug based medicine while getting worse and worse; eventually dying long before they should be.

Symptom suppression with “anti” medication is analogous to snipping the wire to a blinking oil light on your car’s dashboard and thinking that you fixed your engine instead of lifting up the hood and putting oil in your engine, so the light goes off. Disease and symptoms are separate entities. Medical science teaches they are one and the same, and by temporarily alleviating symptoms through drugs, you have somehow cured the disease. This brain-dead mentality of looking at symptoms as the disease has been going on since the indoctrination of medicine back in the early 1900’s. In their ignorance they are shoving disease deeper into a chronic state that will eventually require more radical procedures of butchery and mutilation because they never address the direct causes of disease.

THE MOST IMPORTANT MINERALS MISSING FROM OUR FOODS THAT ARE NEEDED TO NOURISH AND REPAIR CELLS & WARD OFF DISEASE

Chromium: It could be said that diabetes and heart disease are the greatest things since sliced bread in terms of the dramatic increase! Researchers at the U.S. government’s National Institutes of Health established the mineral chromium as an essential nutrient over 50 years ago. It was established as essential for one very specific reason. Chromium was determined as necessary for blood sugar metabolism, and is the most important mineral needed in the body for preventing or reversing type II diabetes. Chromium is referred to as a trace element because very little is needed. However, the very little needed is very much needed in a very, very big way. Requirements are measured in micrograms, which is a measurement of one part per million. Most chromium supplements on the market, such as chromium picolinate, are synthetic and could be toxic to the body.

The refining of whole wheat into bleached, white flour removes 91% of chromium, and refining of raw sugar cane into white sugar removes 98% of the chromium. Government figures indicate that white flour and white sugar constitute more than a third of the American diet.

Selenium: Continuing research has shown a positive correlation between selenium supplementation and cancer prevention in humans. The higher the blood levels of selenium, the lower the cancer incidence. The lower the blood levels of selenium, the higher the cancer incidence. Interestingly enough, 92% of selenium is removed when white flour is made, and all refined, enriched and processed foods are missing adequate selenium. Selenium is extremely important for protecting the prostate, breasts, colon and thyroid. The U.S. NIH notes that selenium is important in managing bad cholesterol (LDL). With 1 out of 2 people expected to come down with cancer in their lifetime, taking a daily dosage of selenium is a must.

The amount of selenium in soils varies a lot around the world, which means that the foods grown in these soils also have differing selenium levels. In the U.S., the Eastern Coastal Plain and the Pacific Northwest have the lowest selenium levels. People in these regions naturally take in about 60 to 90 mcg of selenium per day from their diet. Although this amount of selenium is adequate, it is below the average daily intake in the U.S., which is 125 mcg.

Selenium is used for diseases of the heart and blood vessels, including stroke and “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis). It is also used for preventing various cancers including cancer of the prostate, stomach, lung, and skin. Some people use selenium for under-active thyroid, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an eye disease called macular degeneration, hay fever, infertility, cataracts, gray hair, abnormal pap smears, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), mood disorders, arsenic poisoning and preventing miscarriage.

Silica/Silicon: Silicon is an essential trace mineral that plays a biological role in the processes by which bone, cartilage, connective tissue and skin are formed and is a component of collagen. In fact, silicon is the key to collagen. The human body contains approximately 7 grams of silicon, which is present in various tissues and body fluids. The silicon present in tissues is mostly bonded to glycoproteins such as cartilage, whereas the silicon in blood is nearly entirely found as either free orthosilicic acid or linked to small compounds. Over 95% of silicon is removed during the refining process of whole wheat. Silica is what literally holds us together and also plays an extremely important role in the central nervous system.

Silicon has been recently regarded as an essential mineral required by the body. It is needed for the optimal growth and efficient production of mucopolysaccharides and collagen in connective tissues – helps increase the strength and reduce the permeability of the extra-cellular matrix in connective tissues including the arteries, trachea, tendons, bone, teeth and skin. It also has a catalytic role in the mineralization of new bones. Silicon, therefore, facilitates the healing process in the body and helps to build the immune system.

Magnesium: Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Magnesium is an alkaline mineral and is one of the primary minerals that get depleted quickly in the body by too much acid in the diet. Like chromium, selenium and silicon, most usable magnesium is missing from refined grains with estimates of 75% or more being removed during the refining of white flour. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines. Magnesium is excreted through the kidneys.

Calcium: The body needs calcium to maintain strong bones and to carry out many important functions. Almost all calcium is stored in bones and teeth, where it supports their structure and hardness. The body also needs calcium for muscles to move and for nerves to carry messages between the brain and every body part. In addition, calcium is used to help blood vessels move blood throughout the body and to help release hormones and enzymes that affect almost every function in the human body. Insufficient intakes of calcium do not produce obvious symptoms in the short term because the body maintains calcium levels in the blood by taking it from bone. Over the long term, intakes of calcium below recommended levels have health consequences, such as causing low bone mass (osteopenia) and increasing the risks of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Calcium is an alkaline mineral and one of the primary minerals the body uses to buffer acids from an acidic diet. It is very important to avoid an acidic diet because it quickly depletes your calcium stores from bones and teeth. Anyone who drinks soda regularly should be especially concerned about getting adequate amounts of good calcium in the body.

Potassium: Potassium is a mineral that the body needs to work normally. It helps nerves and muscles communicate. It also helps move nutrients into cells and waste products out of cells. A diet rich in potassium helps to offset some of sodium’s harmful effects on blood pressure. Your body needs potassium to: build proteins, break down and use carbohydrates, build muscle, maintain normal body growth, control the electrical activity of the heart, control the acid-base balance

Sulfur: Sulfur is found in the cells of all living organisms (plant & animal). Sulfur plays a critical role in the oxygenation and detoxification of all cells. Simply put, the “Sulfur Cycle” was broken over 70 years ago when farmers switched from using manure as a fertilizer to chemical based fertilizers and also began spraying the farmlands of the world with toxic pesticides. What few knew at the time is that these “man-made” agents would inhibit sulfur in the human body, eventually leading to a global disease epidemic. The fact is almost every person alive is “Sulfur Deficient”. What’s worse, any food product that has been refrigerated, canned, cooked or packaged has most likely lost any usable sulfur.

Organic Sulfur is not a drug or prescription medicine. It is a mineral food supplement that supplies the cells of the body with one of the most vital minerals necessary for oxygen uptake in the cells and cellular detoxification.

Organic Sulfur has a long history as a healing agent in the human body. For centuries mankind has soaked in sulfurrich springs to help heal a variety of ailments.
