Soil Mineral Depletion and What it Means for Your Family

Did you know that the American Journal of Medicine came out with an article 12 years ago saying that we need to all be supplementing in order to achieve proper nutrition and absorb minerals because our soils are completely depleted.

Dr, Mertz from the U.S. department of Agriculture already knew what was coming 35 years ago. He said that in the future “We will not be able to rely anymore on our premise that the consumption of a varied balanced diet will provide all the essential trace elements, because such a diet will be very difficult to obtain for millions of people.” Now he said this all the way back in 1977. That future that Dr. Mertz warned us of is already here, that future is now.

The Earth is the ultimate source of vitamins and minerals. The main object of all living creatures is to sustain their existence. Life is solely dependent on 2 sources: the power of the sun and the elements of the earth, Without either, life is simply not possible, but combined? An entire ecosphere of intricate life-forms blossoms and flourishes across the vast surface of the earth and deep within her oceans. Each species plays a role in perpetuating the next, resulting in a massive ecosystem of interdependent life. The result is a giant, complex chain of nutrition that can all be linked back to the sun and the earth.

We are all at the mercy of the foods we eat, the beverages we drink, and the supplements we take to live from one day to the next. Vitamins and minerals are essential to continued life.

There are three potential solutions:

  1. Remineralize farmlands.
  2. Eat locally grown produce from organic farms.
  3. Provide the body with minerals and nutrients directly through supplementation.

If the food chain can no longer be relied on to provide the nutrients required for a healthy, vital life, providing the body with these nutrients directly is the ONLY other option! The challenge is identifying a supplement that not only delivers the full menu of required nutrients, but a supplement capable of delivering minerals- the most difficult of all nutrients to absorb- in a form that is just like nature.

Oligo™ is the only mineral-delivery technology formulated just like nature. Proven by science to provide superior mineral absorption and maximum antioxidant protection. They can also claim that they are the most absorbable on the planet, which is why we use them as our supplements of choice.  Oligo™ was developed from the ground up to address the two critical flaws in mineral supplementation- absorption and excess free radical creation- to help ensure you get more of what you take a multivitamin-mineral for.

Toothpaste Versus Tooth Polish

Do you know what is inside your toothpaste? We all want that pleasant white bright smile, but not by using Titanium Dioxide, Fluoride, sugar, and many other harsh ingredients that have harmful effects on your body. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are able to penetrate into your gums and have toxic reactions in your brain and cause nerve damage. It is also widely regarded as carcinogenic to humans, which means it has the potential to cause cancer.

Now yes, it is true, Fluoride does have the power to help better protect your teeth from cavities, however is it really worth the calcifying your Pineal Gland when there are so many other better and natural alternatives out there? Fluoride is known for causing severe headaches, stomach pain, and inducing vomit from patients and customers alike. With so many oral care companies and products out there with their false claims and convincing marketing, it can be hard to find the right one for you.
Here are some things to look out for when buying tooth paste.
– Stay clear of toothpaste and mouthwash formulas with artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners.
– Part ways with Tricloson in case you haven't heard, this antibacterial compound is banned in soaps but not in toothpaste.
– Say goodbye to propylene glycol. This mineral oil is also used in antifreeze, not exactly something you want to put in your mouth, is it?

These can be very drying and irritate your soft tissues. When it comes to controlling oral bacteria, only whitening tooth polish brings together a combination of natural and non-harmful ingredients to prevent plaque, tartar, and gum disease for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
