Ionic minerals are those in salt form that your body can actually use. In fact, sea salt has every mineral that humans need for optimal health. The fact that they come in ionic form means that they are natural, unprocessed, and readily available for effective absorption. Chemically, they conduct electricity, can dissolve completely in water, and most importantly, they can cross cell membranes and donate electrons.

This is important because electrons are needed to fuel all of the chemical reactions that take place in the body to keep it working. Adding ionic minerals to your supplement regime—even with something as simple as pure sea salt—will unquestionably take your health to the next level.

Unlike ionic minerals, chelated minerals are not pure. This is because they basically come in rock form, which means they have amino acids attached. Because of their structure, if your body actually needs a particular chelated mineral, these can be beneficial. However, unless you are certain you need a particular mineral, taking them unnecessarily can contribute to imbalance in the body, causing harm rather than a benefit to your health.

In the past, there was a lot of talk about colloidal minerals, with little public understanding of what they actually were. Colloidal minerals are essentially worthless, and in fact, they can even be dangerous. This is because they do not conduct electricity and can’t cross cell membranes, and both of these missing qualities are needed if a mineral is to have any impact on the body’s health.

What’s more, since they can’t enter cells, colloidal minerals stay between cells, where they accumulate over time, leading to a whole host of other problems. Osteoporosis is typically thought of as being caused by loss of calcium from our bones, but this is an oversimplification that totally misses the mark.

In truth, it’s the loss of many needed minerals from our bones—not justcalcium. Common treatments for osteoporosis include weight-burning exercise, calcium, vitamin D, hormone, estrogen, calcitonin, bisphosphonate drugs, and other drugs. But what patients really need to do is to make sure they’re getting their minerals.

I commonly hear from people who think they don’t need to supplement with additional minerals because there are minerals present in their daily vitamins. What they often don’t realize is that these minerals are generally chelated. Plus, in a one-size-fits-all daily vitamin, you are likely getting minerals you are not actually deficient in along with the ones you need, which causes imbalance in your body.

This truth that one size does not fit all is perhaps the most important thing to understand here. Your approach to mineral supplements should never be “all or none.” In the same way that eating excess food when you’re not hungry can lead to pain and weight gain, excesses of unnecessary minerals will lead to and health problems. Find out what your body is actually deficient in before taking supplements you don’t need, which can harm your health.

Know Your Mineral Levels, Know Better Health

The best way to get an analysis of what the mineral levels in your body are is to use micro mass spectrometry. A better-known name for this type of testing is hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA). Unfortunately, many medical professionals look down their noses at this method because they are ignorant of its benefits.

This technology is reliable. It is used by every chemistry lab in the world and has even been used to determine the mineral content of the soil on Mars. It can help you figure out if your body is in mineral imbalance, and it can show you the path back to homeostasis. Seek out this testing on your own. There are many reputable, expert labs that offer it around the country.

Once you know what you’re deficient in, and conversely, have an excess of, you’ll know which supplements to take and which to avoid. This is the key to using supplements smartly and safely.

Now you know how increasing your intake of vitamins and minerals can take your health to a completely new level of homeostasis. But how do you get rid of the toxins in your system that have built up over time, so that those minerals can have their greatest impact? The next chapter will walk you through the importance of cleanses as the final piece in this diet pillar of the Complete Healing Formula™.

Chapter Review

• We need to supplement our diets with the vitamins and minerals that are missing from our foods.

• To best supplement your diet, at minimum, a high-quality multivitamin and a natural anti-inflammatory enzyme should be incorporated into your daily routine.

• Your multivitamin should be of high quality, or it will not give you the benefits you need.

• When a vitamin label lists a vitamin or mineral followed by a parenthesis and the word “as,” it’s really telling you that it’s not a real vitamin or mineral.

• You can and should replenish the body with more of its own natural anti-inflammatory enzymes.

• About 90 percent of the US population actually has too much calcium relative to the amounts of other helpful minerals that are needed to make calcium useful to our bodies.

• Numerous health problems are associated with excess calcium, including kidney stones, gall stones, bone spurs, plaque, calcium deposits, cataracts, brain shrinkage and dysfunction, heart disease, hardening of the arteries, dementia, cancer, diabetes, and hypothyroidism.

• The foods we eat today are depleted of minerals as a result of the current farming system, which often involves farming the same soil repeatedly without resting it every seven years.

• To get the greatest health benefits, find out what your body is actually deficient in before taking supplements.

For me, it took about 9 treatments to heal/cure, and is dependent on how long you've had the lymes plus how sever the lymes symptoms are. All the Best!!

application/pdf iconExterior-Releasing Formulas: Pharmacological Effects & Clinical Applications



Exterior-releasing formulas induce perspiration, release exterior factors from the skin and muscles, and/or promote the eruption of measles. This method of treatment is known as han fa (sweating), one of the ba fa (eight treatment methods) described in the Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic) in the first or second century A.D.

While exterior-releasing formulas have a wide range of clinical applications, they are primarily used to treat various respiratory and infectious disorders.

Cough: Many exterior-releasing formulas have antitussive effects to suppress cough. Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) arrests stubborn coughing that manifests after recovery from an exterior condition. Ma Huang Xing Ren Gan Cao Shi Gao Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Licorice, and Gypsum Decoction) alleviates coughing and dyspnea in cases of asthma or respiratory tract infection. As an active ingredient in both formulas, Ku Xing Ren (Semen Armeniacae Amarum) has an inhibitory effect on the respiratory center of the brain, thereby producing antitussive and antiasthmatic effects.

Wheezing and dyspnea: Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Bluegreen Dragon Decoction) and Da Qing Long Tang (Major Bluegreen Dragon Decoction) are exterior-releasing formulas used to treat wheezing and dyspnea. Several clinical studies have shown Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Bluegreen Dragon Decoction) to be effective in treating wheezing and dyspnea in patients with acute and chronic bronchial asthma. Other studies indicate that Da Qing Long Tang (Major Bluegreen Dragon Decoction) effectively treats wheezing and dyspnea arising from chronic tracheitis.

Asthma: Many exterior-releasing formulas have marked antiasthmatic effects, and may be used to treat asthma. The proposed mechanisms of action include: 1) stimulating beta-adrenoceptors to achieve bronchorelaxation; and 2) inhibiting infiltration of eosinophils into the airway. Two formulas that can treat asthma are: Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Bluegreen Dragon Decoction) and She Gan Ma Huang Tang (Belamcanda and Ephedra Decoction).

Bronchitis: Many exterior-releasing formulas are effective in treatment of bronchitis and related symptoms. Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Bluegreen Dragon Decoction) has both antibiotic and antiasthmatic effects, and is an excellent formula for treating bronchitis in both children and adults. Ma Huang Xing Ren Gan Cao Shi Gao Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Licorice, and Gypsum Decoction) treats both acute and chronic bronchitis, with antitussive qualities to suppress cough, bronchodilating effects to relieve wheezing and dyspnea, and antiallergic influence to reduce swelling and inflammation.

Pneumonia: Exterior-releasing formulas can treat both the cause and symptoms of pneumonia. For example, Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Bluegreen Dragon Decoction) and Yin Qiao San (Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder) have antibiotic effects to treat lung infections. In addition, Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Bluegreen Dragon Decoction), Yin Qiao San (Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder), and Ma Huang Xing Ren Gan Cao Shi Gao Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Licorice, and Gypsum Decoction) address associated symptoms of pneumonia, such as aversion to cold, fever, cough, dyspnea, chest congestion, and the presence of sputum.

Respiratory tract disorders: Exterior-releasing formulas treat various types of respiratory tract disorders. In addition to the examples listed above, indications include rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, nasosinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and others.

Nasal disorders: Exterior wind-releasing formulas effectively treat various nasal disorders, such as sinusitis, rhinitis, and nasal polyps. The mechanisms of action are attributed to antiallergic effects, mast cell stabilizing effects, and anti-inflammatory action, that suppress inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Two representative formulas for treatment of nasal disorders are Cang Er Zi San (Xanthium Powder) and Xin Yi San (Magnolia Flower Powder).

Fever: Many formulas in this category have antipyretic effects to treat fever. The mechanisms of the antipyretic effects vary. Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) and Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) have regulatory effects on body temperature to reduce fever. Ge Gen Tang (Kudzu Decoction) lowers body temperature by suppressing interferon-induced interleukin-1alpha production. Yin Qiao San (Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder) has a broad spectrum of antibiotic effects to treat infection and fever.

Common cold and influenza: Exterior-releasing formulas are frequently used to treat viral infections such as common cold and influenza, with answers to both cause and symptoms. Ge Gen Tang (Kudzu Decoction) has antiviral effects to treat infection, and antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects to alleviate fever and muscle aches and pains. Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Bluegreen Dragon Decoction) is useful as both prophylaxis and treatment for influenza viral infection, since its antiviral effects stimulate and increase production of anti-influenza virus antibodies. Lastly, Yin Qiao San (Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder) is one of the most frequently-used formulas for common cold and influenza, since it treats both the cause and symptoms of viral infection with its antibiotic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities.

Infectious disorders: In addition to the infections listed above, exterior-releasing formulas effectively treat herpes zoster, measles, viral myocarditis, infectious meningitis, and many other disorders.

Harmful Organism Cleansing: The Health Benefits of Anamu

L-arginine is a chemical building block called “an amino acid.” It is obtained from the diet and is necessary for the body to make proteins. L-arginine is found in red meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. It can also be made in a laboratory and used as medicine.

L-arginine is used for heart and blood vessel conditions including congestive heart failure (CHF), chest pain, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease. L-arginine is also used for recurrent pain in the legs due to blocked arteries (intermittent claudication), decreased mental capacity in the elderly (senile dementia), erectile dysfunction (ED), and male infertility.

Some people use L-arginine for preventing the common cold, improving kidney function after a kidney transplant, high blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia), improving athletic performance, boosting the immune system, and preventing inflammation of the digestive tract in premature infants.

L-arginine is used in combination with a number of over-the-counter and prescription medications for various conditions. For example, L-arginine is used along with ibuprofen for migraine headaches; with conventional chemotherapy drugs for treating breast cancer; with other amino acids for treating weight loss in people with AIDS; and with fish oil and other supplements for reducing infections, improving wound healing, and shortening recovery time after surgery.

Some people apply L-arginine to the skin to speed wound healing and for increasing blood flow to cold hands and feet, especially in people with diabetes. It is also used as a cream for sexual problems in both men and women.

How does it work?

L-arginine is converted in the body into a chemical called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow. L-arginine also stimulates the release of growth hormone, insulin, and other substances in the body.

What is L-arginine?

Eggs, meats, milk, soy proteins, peanuts, and walnuts are all sources of arginine. The physiologically active form, L-arginine, is obtained by breaking down proteins. Arginine also may be synthesized in the laboratory. Because L-arginine may be synthesized in the body, it is classified as a nonessential amino acid in adults. However, in children and in people with certain conditions (eg, infection, trauma), L-arginine synthesis may become compromised and then may be considered semi-essential.

What is it used for?

Traditional/Ethnobotanical uses

L-arginine is a nonessential amino acid that may play an important role in the treatment of heart disease due to its block arterial plaque buildup, blood clots, platelet clumping, and to increase blood flow through the coronary artery. L-arginine is commonly sold as a health supplement claiming to improve vascular health and treat erectile dysfunction in men. L-arginine, which is promoted as a human growth stimulant, has also been used in bodybuilding. In the 1800s, it was first isolated from animal horn.

What is the recommended dosage?

L-arginine has been studied at oral doses of 6 to 30 g/day for a variety of conditions. Many formulations have been used.

How safe is it?

Contraindications

Absolute contraindications have not been identified. L-arginine is not recommended in patients following an acute heart attack.

Pregnancy/nursing

Specific information regarding safety and efficacy during pregnancy and breast-feeding is lacking, although several trials have been conducted in pregnant women without notable ill effects.

Interactions

L-arginine has unpredictable effects on insulin and cholesterol-lowering agents. L-arginine may increase the effects of isosorbide mononitrate and other nitric oxide donors, such as glyceryl trinitrate and sodium nitroprusside.

Side Effects

L-arginine has few reported adverse reactions. Nausea and diarrhea have been reported infrequently. Bitter taste may occur with higher doses. Due to its ability to dilate blood vessels, low blood pressure may occur. Intravenous preparations containing L-arginine hydrochloride have a high chloride content that may increase the risk for metabolic acidosis in patients with electrolyte imbalances. Low potassium and high serum urea nitrogen levels may occur in patients with kidney and/or liver impairment.

Toxicities

High concentrations of nitric oxide, which can be produced by L-arginine, are considered toxic to brain tissue.
