Neodymium (Nd)Essential daily amount: Unknown
Typical diet deficiency: Unknown Amount in the average body: unknown Amount in TerraPond: 42 ppm; 210 mcg Neodymium is a ―rare earth mineral. This means it is not easily extracted in pure form. It plays an unknown role in humans and is difficult to find in tissue, yet it is a hypertrace mineral. It is used in the pleuras of our lungs. Lack of neodymium in the form of neodime acetyl latonate is a cause of Parkinson‘s disease. This element has doubled the life expectancy of animals in lab experiments. Neodymium, having no recognized role in biology was until now totally ignored in biochemistry. In 1997, Ohmichi found that Neodymium works with a lead ion (Pb2+) in leadzyme to regulate the transcription of genes. The two minerals, lead and neodymium should be present in ratio of one to one to maximize the reaction the enzyme governs. Nickel (Ni)Essential daily amount: 1-3 mg
Typical diet deficiency: Unknown Amount in the average body: 0.00029 oz Amount in TerraPond: 51 ppm; 255 mcg; 12%* It‘s not just a cheap coin. It‘s a life saver. Nickel is a transformative agent in the internal cellular environment with important biological properties. It reinforces stressed duct cells, and is needed to support organ cells; it is a transistor crystal in our glands. Nickel is an effective component of treating dyspepsia—bloating and obesity; and it works with the spleen, liver, and pancreas. Animals raised with nickel deficiency experience liver dysfunction. It strengthens insulin and encourages vitamin A and C. Nickel is a component of human growth and development. Nickel is needed in the heart muscle, the liver and the kidneys. It is involved in hormone, lipid and membrane metabolism. Significant concentrations are found in DNA and RNA and it may contribute to the stabilization of nucleic acids. Nickel was finally added to the ―essential‖ list in 1975. Nickel deficiency in adults has been connected with cirrhosis of the liver and chronic liver failure. Yet still many contemporary descriptions of Nickel either consider it a ―controversial‖ nutrition source, or unnecessary, or even toxic. It is amazing how backwards our consensus is regarding important topics of health. Phosphorus (P)Essential daily amount: 800-1200 mg
Typical diet deficiency: unlikely* Amount in the average body: 1.8 lbs Amount in TerraPond: 0.15%; 7.5 mg While calcium gets all the attention, phosphorus is just as crucial and quite abundant in the body. It is an essential mineral that is required by every cell in the body for normal function, but it is present in bones, blood and in relatively large amounts in the nervous system. It acts in kidney function and helps the utilization of vitamins. It helps transform food into energy. It must be well mixed with calcium and magnesium in order to maintain good health. As with many minerals, the phosphorus intake is more a matter of balance and ratios, rather than absolute amounts ingested. Since it is a primary fertilizer ingredient, it is present in many natural and processed foods. As a result phosphorus does not represent a deficiency problem in the US. However, some nutritionists believe that the optimal ratio of calcium to phosphorus should be maintained at over 2 to 1. Taking a colloidal supplement like these minerals helps maintain a dietary balance. Potassium (K)Essential daily amount: 3000-4000 mg
Typical diet deficiency: 1000-2000 mg Amount in the average body: 5.7 oz Amount in TerraPond: 2.8%; 140 mg; 5%* Potassium salts are essential for both animals and plants. Potassium is an electrolyte that interacts with sodium to conduct nerve impulses and many other functions in the cells. The potassium cation is the major cation in intracellular fluids (sodium is the main extra-cellular cation). It is essential for nerve and heart function, and it is the dominant mineral in controlling muscle contraction. As with other minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, potassium must be balanced with sodium for proper body pH and cellular rhythm. The cell‘s ability to take in nutrients depends on this electrolyte balance. Without a proper ration of sodium and potassium, heart, vascular, and cancerous diseases can develop. The problem is acute in Western diets because of all the sodium that is crammed into our processed foods. Taking potassium supplements is absolutely critical, which for many adults resolves a large degree of hypertension. Determining the proper amounts and supplementation of potassium is very difficult, because in overdoses it can be quite toxic, alcohol and caffeine interfere with its absorption, and the amount of sodium in a diet can vary considerably, and because potassium is lost in perspiration it depends on the amount of heavy exercise one does. Americans eat a lot of potassium-fertilized foods. Nevertheless, most Americans are deficient because it should be present in a 5-to-1 ratio to sodium...yet in many cases we take in less potassium than sodium, creating a huge imbalance. So before supplementing, cut your sodium! Praseodymium (Pr)Essential daily amount: Unknown
Typical diet deficiency: Unknown Amount in the average body: unknown Amount in TerraPond: 9 ppm; 45 mcg Little is known of this rare earth mineral, which has been involved in studies that indicate it increases life expectancy of laboratory animals. Rubidium (Ru)Essential daily amount: Unknown
Typical diet deficiency: Unknown Amount in the average body: 0.0129 oz Amount in TerraPond: 129 ppm; 645 mcg Rubidium is one of the most electropositive and alkaline elements. And it is not rare. It is considered to be the 16th most abundant element in the earth's crust, and your body has a noticeable amount in it. Some scientists believe this element might play a very important role in cellular transport across membranes, specifically with regard to nervous function and motor end plates. This is a classic example of a mineral to which science has not paid proper attention. Some people use it to improve alkaline pH in the body. But it is unwise to take such minerals with so little science devoted to understanding its metabolic effects. Samarium (Sm)Essential daily amount: Unknown
Typical diet deficiency: Unknown Amount in the average body: unknown Amount in TerraPond: 7 ppm; 35 mcg This rare earth mineral is not well understood, except that it was involved in experiments in which it increased the life expectancy of laboratory animals. We know it exists in all animals and humans. In people it is found in white blood cells and in artery walls and in the abdominal muscles. This makes it essential, but unfortunately official biochemistry has little to say about necessary research to establish how much we should be taking. Selenium (Se)Essential daily amount: 60 – 200 mcg
Typical diet deficiency: 20-100 mg/situational Amount in the average body: 0.00014 oz Amount in TerraPond: 3 ppm; 15 mcg; 15%* A metalloid that is closely related to sulfur, it is found in the body in varying amounts from 3 mg to 20 mg. Essential to mammals and higher plants, it is highly effective at protecting cells from damage by free radicals, a source of premature aging and disease. Deficiency in Selenium will cause an increase in susceptibility to virus. It works to balance metabolic processes, increases elimination, inhibits lipids, aids fertility, removes skin spots, and helps restore patients undergoing chemotherapy. Selenium was added to the ―essential‖ list in 1957, then de-listed and listed again in 1989! Even the ―experts‖ struggle with discovery and validation, and are sometimes slow to awaken. Silicon (Si) Essential daily amount: Unknown
Typical diet deficiency: Unknown Amount in the average body: 0.73 oz. Amount in TerraPond: 55.3%; 2.77 grams Natural colloidal silicon, not to be confused with man-made silicon or silicone, is regenerative to the cells, and improves the health of skin, bones, hair and finger nails. Essential in higher plants and mammals, it encourages the growth of collagen and connective tissue. It helps balance the nervous system, rehydrate skin, promotes healing of tissue, and improves arterial flexibility. Silicon is needed to support immune function and helps eliminate toxic aluminum, lead and mercury in your body. Yet silicon was not regarded as an essential nutrient for health until 1972! Silicon, also known as silica is a natural blood thinner and should not be used by people expecting to have surgery. Natural silica is nontoxic in large amounts because it is inert. It is the one substance scientists know will not react with acids or bases. The body can use certain silicates that are in the form of natural clays, particularly Montmorillonite/ Bentonite and Kaolin. These silicates are used to soothe the stomach, eliminate intestinal bacteria and toxins and adsorb waste matter. Some forms of silica in the blood and intestinal tract can attract heavy metals and pathogens and trap them in their ionically charges surfaces, thus aiding internal healing. Note Silicon is not quartz. Quartz is not a health mineral and can irritate connective tissue and nerves. Silica powder, like all mineral powders should not be inhaled. Silica is also the major platelet mineral that is used to retain mineral nutrients in soils. Thus it is an effective buffer and balancing agent for arable lands. The right silicates can also be used to carry trace minerals to your body in a balanced, buffered sustained release form. TerraPond is an all-natural colloidal calcium compound that is 55% alumina silicate. This anionic substance is mostly inert and cannot be digested. It is used by nature to deliver and buffer the mineral nutrient supply. However it also holds some pure silicon in colloidal form, some of which can be assimilated into the body. Silica is responsible for the second critical function of TerraPond. Its microscopic crystals have a powerful negative ionic charge to help detoxify the body. No other supplement can provide both functions in one safe, effective compound. Silver (Ag)Essential daily amount: Unknown
Typical diet deficiency: Unknown Amount in the average body: unknown Amount in TerraPond: <1 ppm < 5 mcg A natural antiseptic and a catalyst for protection from infection within the body. It helps reduce infections and acts as a bactericide. Helps the body resist inflammation and supports immune function. Silver is only present in the body in extremely small amounts. It has become a phenomenon lately and many authorities want its popularity diminished. Yet in clinical studies, colloidal silver continues to prove its potency. It is not advisable to ingest large amounts of silver in any form. If you are trying to take high doses over long periods of time, perhaps the infection you are treating is only a symptom of another, deeper problem that needs resolution. |
