What Is So Unique
About Ionic Minerals?
The following
is an excerpt from a lecture presentation delivered by Parris
Kidd, Ph.D. on November 5, 1996 at Mineral Resources
International's facilities in Ogden, Utah.
What do ionized mineral really do and who needs them? Some of the
greatest minds in science, biology and clinical research have
shown very clearly through their research that easily ionizable
forms of minerals are the ones that the body is able to
selectively absorb and utilize. Ionic minerals easily come apart
in a watery environment and become either positively charged or
negatively charged. The body is very discriminatory. The body
knows when it needs minerals in greater amounts and when that
happens, the body reaches out for those minerals. The density of
the transporter proteins goes up on the intestinal cell surface
and the body is actually looking for those minerals.
Now those
transporters bind those minerals tightly but they need to be
ionized. The transporter picks up an ionized form [of the
mineral], binds it and immediately pulls it in and then it goes
into the bloodstream and goes where it is needed. Whatever the
charge of a mineral, it still needs to get through a dense,
negative charge on the surface of the intestinal cell and it may
be that negative charge is designed to keep out certain
undesirable agents including undesirable minerals. Transporters
have such a high affinity that once an ionized form of a mineral
can get into the region, the transporter will pick it up.
People who
claim that colloids are 98 percent absorbed and that ionized
minerals are only 8 to 10 percent absorbed even in the most
healthy people haven't looked at the literature or are purposely
misrepresenting the literature because the literature quite
clearly shows the proven essential minerals are absorbed in their
ionic forms from ranges from 20 to 90 percent depending on how
hungry their system for the mineral at that time.
