Minerals in the natural state cannot be easily absorbed. Colloidal minerals are minerals in the smallest possible size which is about one over one thousand seven hundred (1/1700th) of a red blood cell. The body transports, stores and utilizes minerals in colloidal form and there are two basic types; organic and inorganic. Organic is plant-derived and inorganic are for examples clay and salts.
It has often been said that “you are what you eat.” In reality, it is you are what you absorb and assimilate. When concerning about minerals, we want to take them in a plant-derived colloidal state with good quality and not quantity. It will change our lives because scientists have discovered a major breakthrough that in medicine, the body’s most important fluids (blood and lymphatic) are colloidal in nature.
Colloidal minerals are very special and unique because they can only be made by plants. The gift of plants is that it turns minerals in their metallic state which are practically useless to the body in the soil into a colloidal form. Our bodies cannot use minerals in any other form.
What is actually colloidal? It refers to size of the particles of a particular substance. In the case of minerals, colloidal minerals are so small that in that state, they will neither float nor sink in water. They are not “heavy” and cannot sink in the cell, thus they never get retained and cannot cause toxic effects.
Colloidal also have further electro-chemical properties that make them unique and valuable to the body. They are easily absorbed by the cells of the body. Colloidal minerals stay suspended in water rather than going into solution because of their negative charge and their size/weight ratio. Expert chemists confirm that colloids are non-toxic because of their plant or vegetable source, and their negative electrical charge.
Colloidal is the smallest particle that matter can be divided into and it ranges from 0.01 millionth of an inch to 10 millionths of an inch in size. The smallest one cannot be seen with any microscope. Their small size gives colloidal minerals enormous surface area and special properties of absorption for our bodies, as opposed to rock and shell based minerals. It is known that one teaspoon of colloidal is equivalent to a total surface area of 127 acres.
For its benefits and to understand how it works, let’s take an example of iron. Lack of iron causes anaemia meaning deficiency of red blood cells or their haemoglobin which causes weariness and pallor (paleness). By supplementing with iron tablets which usually in its metallic form (ferrous fumarate), we have to drink a lot of water to prevent constipation and our stools will turn black. By taking iron in its natural source in a colloidal state, we will not get black stool or constipation. They are effortlessly assimilated and used. They will not accumulate in the cell and lead to problems of toxicity.
Soil contains minerals, but they are in their metallic state and have particles that are hundreds or thousands of times larger and positively-charged. That makes a lot of difference because we cannot absorb them. Only plants can convert metallic minerals into colloidal minerals. Dr Carey Reams, a well-known biophysicist and bio-chemist, discovered that colloids can get so small that they can even go through glass. He found that human body requires 84 of the known 106 elements to maintain good health.
Minerals control the metabolism of cells in humans and animals, and are essential for maintaining good health and preventing disease. The secrets of the ageless can be seen in at least five cultures of people in the world routinely live to be 120 to 140 years of age. These various cultures live in high glacial mountain villages that range from 8,500 to 14,000 feet above sea level. The climates are very dry with less than 2 inches annual rainfall. In these places, between 60 and 72 different minerals are found in melt-water from the glaciers. The water has a milky consistency and is referred to by the people as “glacier milk.” For 2,500 to 5,000 years, the people have been drinking this liquid and more importantly, crops have been irrigated with it, and the soil has been continuously re-mineralized giving them exceptionally nutritious food.
The people in these high mountain villages are blessed with radiant health and boundless energy. Heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, glaucoma, birth defects, hyperactive children, learning disabilities, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, cataracts, obesity, and other diseases are almost non-existent. Coincidently, all these food are vegetarian food which do not involve killing of lives. With this information, one can reverse premature aging and avoid getting disease by knowing what to take as a supplement.

T.A Chew, a vegetarian for more than 10 years since 1995, wishes that colloidal minerals can be a source of information to let people realize that vegetarianism is very important in life. By living a life similar to those living high in the mountains, suffering can be reduced by not taking away lives of animals. Website: [http://www.white-sun.com]
