QUESTION:
 
Hi Lena,
 
Can a person take too much liquid minerals, or have too much of one or two minerals in their body?
 
Also, would there be such a thing as a "healing crisis" where I would feel worse before feeling better?
 
Thanks,  Marie
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for the questions Marie... I must say that these questions would require a small book to cover all the bases so I'm going to try and do a very short mini version of the most likely answers and hope it helps answer yours!

Let's start with short mineral facts; Minerals enable the body to quickly and accurately perform its activities. Mineral balance is absolutely necessary for the proper composition of body fluids, the formation of blood and bone, and the maintenance of healthy nerve and brain function. The lack of such sets the body up for all kinds of illness and disease as well as makes it impossible for your body to absorb and utilize the small amounts of vitamins in your foods... The right kind of minerals is very important as well. Most over-the-counter minerals are made from crushed rock and soil/dirt. Now we know that our rocks and soil no longer contain the minerals that can give us balance so it doesn't sound like something that can be effect. Also if a mineral complex contain less than our blood plasma requirement of 84 total minerals it's not sufficient. Look for a deep sea based mineral complex to ensure you have the proper balance...

To answer your questions;

Yes, a person can take too much liquid minerals but it would be extremely hard to do although not impossible... This would most likely occur when a healthy person perceives they need more than the recommended maximum dose of 2 teaspoons a day without an existing health problem. Or if the liquid minerals being consumed contains less than the balanced 84 minerals and trace minerals the body requires...  Or an unsuspecting illness exists that can cause a build up?

But yes you can have too much or one or two minerals in the body... Lead, iron and copper being the most common ones...

Lets cover lead first: This overload is usually associated with the environment. This can happen in areas where heavy smog is created by automobile traffic. This is getting to be less prevalent in areas where unleaded gas is used in the autos but far too many still exist. Lead poisoning is prevalent in areas of older housing/homes - built before 1955 - that still contains lead bearing paint and/or interior lead pipes... Also lead danger is found in areas where lead containing gas leaks have occurred causing a build up of soil contamination. Or where old oil/gas refineries causing lead to be leached into the ground from holding ponds and reached the water table putting it into wells. This continues to happen where oil wells are still functioning in different parts of the world that have oil refineries as well as areas where occasional leaks from distribution holding tanks oil/gas exist...

Then there is Iron overload (hemochromatosis); can be caused by the environment around you, the body's inability to utilize iron or the body's organs not functioning in conjunction with one another and overproducing iron as well as eating a lot of processed foods that have iron added... Also the medical world is contributing to this problem with prescribing iron in diagnosed anemia... Yes, the patients are anemic, but the iron is collecting in storage instead of going into hemoglobin.  These people are iron-loaded.  They need iron removed despite the anemia.  The anemia should be treated with B vitamins, especially B12, B6 and folic acid.  Many patients with anemia are dying of iron overload, and some are hastened to their death by their physicians who give iron. Blood banks seem to believe that hemoglobin and iron are the same.  They have prepared lists of high iron foods to give out to donors with low hemoglobin.  They invariably tell these people:  "Your iron is low."  Life threatening misinformation since even a small amount of excess iron can damage heart and brain and other storage sites in the body and lead to heart attack or stroke. Anemia does not mean you always need more iron, quite the contrary, usually means you don't but you do need a balance of minerals! Many cases of anemia are being corrected with the simple addition of balanced liquid minerals?

Then there is copper; Copper overload may occur because of exposure to unsuspected sources of environmental copper on a regular basis. Copper water pipes, for example, have been in widespread use in this country for the past three decades and they can leach copper into the water supply if the water is too acidic. In addition, copper compounds often are added to municipal drinking water making it important to have a three phase water purification/filtration system on your water sources... Then copper is an element of a spray used on produce to prevent fungus and algae growth. Another cause is dental fillings -- both the newer silver amalgams and some gold alloys -- also are significant sources of copper. They can release slow but steady levels of copper into the system, as can copper intrauterine devices. Widespread use of estrogen medications such as the birth control pill is one of the main reasons for the prevalence of copper overload today, according to Rick Malter, Ph.D., a psychologist from Hoffman Estates, Illinois, who has been treating copper-related mental and emotional health problems for 18 years. The "BC pill" is known to increase copper levels and it has been prescribed for the past four decades. Women, consequently, have become increasingly copper-toxic, Malter points out, and copper-toxic women unknowingly pass copper excess onto their unborn children. So these factors should be taken into account when taking minerals supplement and adjusted accordingly...

If you are taking Wayne Garland's Life Transfusion Liquid Minerals even then it would be an almost impossibility as they are mined from the deep sea and are the same identical makeup as your blood plasma, should be if the body is healthy, making it possible for your body to only utilize what it needs and slough off any excess...

If you suspect that you're taking too much of a vitamin or mineral, don't stop completely. Nutrition experts suggest cutting back to about half of your current dosage. Your body has adjusted itself to handle a massive dose, so if you stop altogether, it could trigger a deficiency and an illness. As a general rule, it's best to stay up to five times the Recommended Daily Dose (RDA, USRDA) for minerals and vitamins in order to consume sufficient amounts to keep your body at its optimum working order.

If for some reason you have become overloaded with any one or two minerals there is a healthy removal technique that works and will bring balance back to your system quickly and safely without side effects. That removal treatment is Chelation IV Therapy...

Second question: would there be such a thing as a "healing crisis" where I would feel worse before feeling better?

The answer to that is Yes. Most herbal, mineral, vitamin, acupuncture, acupressure or chiropractic manipulations will find most people feeling worse before feeling better... Two reasons for that are;
1. The body has to detox and rid itself of the illness producing toxins before it can start to rebuild and become balanced and this will account for feeling worse.  Some will be flu type symptoms. The most severely toxic person will even have skin eruptions that appear on the body as acne type sores on top of feeling like the flu has overtaken them...
Or;
2. The body has been so malnourished for so long that when it starts to build up to a good balance you will feel so very different and not always perceived as good feelings until the different organs begin to balance and function together as they should...

Hope this helps clear things up for you.
