Mother Earth Minerals as Essential Co-enzyme Factors
By A. True Ott, PhD
The cells of the human body perform a myriad of complex biological transmutations each and every second of each and every day. The various cells process proteins and carbohydrates into life-giving energy in the form of ATP (adenisone triphospate). The seven endocrine glands found in the human body in turn produce a variety of substances called enzymes which perform critical functions in the various organs such as the liver, pancreas, heart and brain. Among other critically important functions, these all-important enzymes have been shown to protect the cellular DNA of healthy cells from mutations that are called cancers, as well as keeping the various organs operating efficiently.
The late Nobel Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling successfully demonstrated that a group of 21 different mineral elements are needed at the cellular level in order to successfully produce these incredible enzymes. Pauling identified these critically important 21 mineral elements simply as “co-enzyme factors”, for they are basically the building blocks of enzymes at the cellular level. This fantastic discovery is what later caused Dr. Pauling to forcefully declare: “You can trace EVERY disease and condition in the human body to a MINERAL DEFICIENCY.”
Of course, such a declaration will never be welcome news to the massive monopoly called BIG PHARMA. It is astronomically more profitable for BIG PHARMA to continue to “prescribe” certain patented chemical drugs to ameliorate symptoms of the various diseases currently plaguing mankind, as opposed to ameliorating the root causes of the disease itself – which according to Dr. Pauling’s research – is a specific deficiency in certain mineral elements. Symptoms of disease are much like a warning light that begins flashing on your vehicle. When that happens, do you employ electrical tape to cover up the annoying flashing warning light, or do you instead seek to employ a plan to repair and fix the problem? The bottom line is that in the majority of cases, pharmaceutical drugs are designed to work like a strip of electrical tape on your car’s flashing warning light – they all too often successfully stop the annoying symptom, while ignoring the root causes of the problem.
Minerals are the basic building blocks of nutrition at the cellular level. Minerals combine with hydrogen ions (provided by water) and amino acids in the cellular factories and enzymes and hormones are thus produced. In turn, enzymes and hormones are utilized by the cells in order to protect essential organs from damage and harm.
