I read some of this stuff years ago (and I get Chet Day's e-newsletters). IMO, it's a bunch of bunk. Anything except the colloidal forms of minerals that are in water doesn't get into your system. Non-colloidal minerals don't get in. Chemicals in water can get into your system (pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, fluorine). Our body gets minerals almost entirely through the foods we eat -- and the minerals are bound to protein molecules to make it into our body. That's why eating rock to get your calcium and magnesium (dolomite) doesn't work while eating something containing calcium citrate and magnesium aspartate does work. The water that gets into our body is filtered by the intestine so that it's, in effect, distilled. What can cause mineral loss in our body can be caused by 1) getting too little minerals in the foods we eat, 2) allowing our body to become too acidic or 3) having parasites in our body that change the body's chemistry to use up (or not take in) minerals. But this has been discussed reasonably well around here, hasn't it? -- Dean -- from (almost) Duh Moines (CDP, KB0ZDF) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
