Immediate Absorption
Absorption of the ionic trace minerals actually begins in the mouth and is not dependent on the digestive process to activate it.
The key factor to wellness is maintaining a balanced acid-alkaline state in the body. When this balance is maintained, the body is a well-oxygenated environment.
An acid is a caustic erosive sour substance that has an electro-positive charge. An acidic body [acidosis] has thick blood that over coagulates and doesn't oxygenate properly. The cells can't dispose of their wastes; therefore, the body's ability to heal itself is impaired. This impairment is characterized by sick blood, inflammation, excess body fat and suppressed immune functions. Acidic blood blocks vitamin absorption and starves your body of essential nutrients, creates toxic buildup in clogged cells, slows down organ function and makes you feel sluggish and weak, prevents proper digestion and creates excess gas and bloating, causes unhealthy weight gain, speeds the aging process and makes you look older, and much more! These conditions are ideal for contracting and breeding various microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and parasites.
The bottom line is that wellness can not be achieved without balancing body detoxification by flushing excess acid waste from the body. If we are too acidic, we are unhealthy; and if we are totally acidic, we are dead!
It is important to note that it is not the stomach acid that is the cause of most problems, but rather the acidic blood, which reflects the state of fluids and tissues of the body that comprise over 70% of what you are.
As a general rule, acid substances tighten; and alkaline substances relax.
The pH of our blood, tissues, and bodily fluids affects the state of our cellular health and internal cleanliness. When our pH levels are in proper balance, we will experience a high degree of health and well-being. Every metabolic and organ/system function depends entirely on our delicately balanced pH, including all regulatory mechanisms such as digestion, metabolism, respiration, hormone release, neurotransmitter release, and immunity.
