What you don’t know about trace minerals could shorten your live. Or, your health could be suffering from a lack of knowledge about trace minerals. Not too much is said, or credited to trace minerals and how they affect your health. It could just be this know-how could give you a health-edge.
If you read this short, you will be in the minority, of health conscious individuals who are armed with this life-prolonging information.
Join the scores of others looking into the science of minerals.
Here are five areas concerning trace minerals that are vital to your well being. The bottom line is that your body can get along without vitamins, but it cannot get along without minerals because it cannot manufacture them. These are the five things you need know:
• List of trace elements.
• We are what we assimilate, not what we eat.
• Sources of trace elements.
• Health benefits of trace elements.
• Too much of a good thing.
List of Trace Elements
Here is the number one fact concerning minerals: The number of different minerals necessary for complete nutrition is still unknown to science. Some researchers conclude that as many as 60-90 elements are necessary for optimum longevity and quality of life. With this in mind, here is just a sample of the known trace elements:
Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Boron, Bromine, Carbon, Fluoride, Gadolinium, Gallium, Germanium, Gold, Hafnium, Holmium, Hydrogen, Indium, Neodymium,
Nickel, Niobium, Nitrogen, Osmium, Oxygen, Palladium, Phosphate, Phosphorous, Selenium, Silicon, Sodium, Strontium, Sulfur, Tantalum, Tellurium, Terbium and Thallium.
We Are What we Assimilate, Not What we Eat
Have you heard it said that we are what we eat? Well, it’s not quite true. The truth is: we are what we assimilate. That is, we are what nutrients we absorb through our intestines. And proper assimilation can only occur with a healthy enzyme process. And proper enzyme action is only possible with the right minerals and trace minerals in our system.

Today we can justify minerals as supplemental dietary substances. Especially, when, petrochemicals and synthetic fertilizers are destroying the mineral content of our fruits and vegetables. Consider the following little-known facts:
• The lack of seemingly insignificant trace minerals in our diets can be killing us and cutting our life spans in half, and the ignorance and indifference in this matter is the real reason for our demise.
• You are what you eat and assimilate into your body.
• Remember that for every person that lives to be one hundred, there will be one that dies at thirty!
Sources of Trace Elements
Trace minerals are usually obtained from the foods we eat including the so-called super foods such as algae and sea vegetables. You’re about to discover the sources of a few selected trace mineral that few know about:
• Aluminum-cooking utensils, food additives, antacids, and antiperspirants
• Barium-glass and rubber making, water softeners, and desiccants
• Beryllium-garden peas, kidney beans, and pears
• Bismuth-pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medicines for ulcers, and hemorrhoid ointment
• Boron-most vegetables, apples, pears, grapes, and nuts
• Cadmium-leafy vegetables, potatoes, grains and cereals
• Carbon-percentage amount in the human body: is about 23%
• Fluorine-cauliflower, cabbage, cheese, raw goat milk, raw egg yolk, brussel sprouts
• Germanium-Chlorella, garlic, tuna, oysters, green tea, reishi mushroom, aloe vera, ginseng, and leafy greens
• Iodine-sea lettuce, kelp, seafood, carrots, pears, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, peas
• Iron-Organ meats, eggs, fish, poultry, blackstrap molasses, apricots, potato peelings
• Selenium-brewers yeast, organ and muscle meats, fish and shellfish, grains
Health Benefits of Trace Elements
Trace elements are minerals that the body requires in amounts of 100 mcg or less, per day. Proper dosage may be as small as one-tenth of 1 mg for some minerals including iodine. Small as these amounts are, insufficient intake of trace elements can seriously impair your health.
We can safely conclude that trace mineral elements are necessary for vitamins and enzymes to function. Without enzymes the body cannot activate certain chemical processes like digestion or the synthesis of proteins. For example, look at a few of these benefits:
• A trace of copper is needed for the synthesis of hemoglobin.
• A trace of cobalt is needed to make vitamin B 12.
• A trace of zinc is needed by the pancreas to manufacture insulin
Too Much of a Good Thing
On the other hand, too much of certain trace minerals result in sick plants, animals, and humans alike. Here are the toxic effects of a few trace elements as a result of an overdose:
• Elevated levels of aluminum can result in neurological disorders, bone disease, gastrointestinal irritation, loss of appetite, and loss of energy.
• Cadmium appears to play a very pivotal role in thyroid disease. One of the greatest effects of cadmium is that it depletes selenium in the body because selenium is essential for cadmium removal. And as mentioned in a previous newsletter, selenium if a prime source for preventing cancer.
• A gout-like syndrome and pneumoconiosis have been associated with excessive concentrations of molybdenum.
