Well, Tara, if you want to get rid of your ionic minerals, send them right over to me, and I'll pay for shipping and handling. (I'm serious!) Because that website is twisting everything and handing you a load of bull just to sell their own supplements.
I researched this issue for over two years (not a typo) when doing research on the section on water for my Rife Handbook. In a nutshell and loosely defined, "ionic" simply refers to the properties (including size) of the particles in the fluid. And ionic WILL pass across the cell membrane. Under certain conditions, which include movement and sunshine, minerals from rocks are transformed so that they ARE bio-available to the system. This plant-versus-mineral-supplementation debate appears periodically on the Internet and whenever I see it I could scream. So keep and use your supplement. Or, as I said before, send them to me. If they are a good brand and are truly ionic, I will make good use of them, I promise.

Question for y'all, because there seems to be totally opposite views on "ionic minerals" being easily usable by the human body. How true do you think the following information is? "Objects in the mineral kingdom are made up of substances like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, silicon, manganese, and a vast assortment of other elements. Elements in this kingdom are held together by very strong bonds. The scientific terms for the strong, inorganic, mineral kingdom bonds are "electrovalent" or "ionic" ..... We don't have the physiological capabilities of easily converting inorganic minerals into usable materials, but plants do." "The minerals we eat should be from the plant kingdom.... Once the minerals become part of the plant kingdom, the bonds are no longer strong; in fact they become very weak...Our metabolic systems can use these plant minerals easily and effectively" ~ Ted Morter, Health and Wellness This makes sense to me, as plants can survive off of water, sun, and sometime soil -yet humans need edible materials such as plants and animals sources since we are higher up the food chain. Best to throw out the ionic mineral supplements and eat more sea vegetables, algae, etc??? Thanks in advance for your help or any info. you may have! Tara
