PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: MINERAL AND OTHER SUPPLEMENTS
There are those who use Ormus in plants, animals and themselves. This is done 100% at their own risk. The individual chooses how much they use and there is nothing implied or guaranteed regarding Ormus. It is up to you alone, an individual, to think seriously about all the benefits of good nutrition and any needed supplements. The people who use Ormus are part of their own ongoing personal research.
Personal research observation over time is scientific research. We have 25 years of observation from 1,000’s who globally used Ormus versus no one I know of filing a complaint that Ormus “hurt me”. Comments include feeling better; so much that Ormus is forgotten to be taken. Another comment is that he had stints put in 25 year ago that are still just fine while four others who had stints then needed to be replaced after 5-6 years.
Folks who have taken Ormus have also had colds, flu, aches, pains. An added comment was that a lady had an anaerobic bug and Ormus didn’t touch it. Ormus didn’t cure any disease, if a disease cured without medical treatment, the body won over the disease. Cancer is physical malfunction. Fibromyalgia is a physical malfunction.
An Ormus investigator, doing his own personal ongoing research, explained that Ormus fuels the light body; the light body housed in us drives the physical body. He understands it to be that if the light body is too powerful, the physical body can be overpowered (burn out the physical) and that is why he doesn’t want to ingest large amounts or excessive amounts over a long period. He added: Easy does it and pay attention to what your body says to you. Pay attention to how you feel and keep a note book if you cannot remember. Simple notes can help you more fully understand if the supplement is helping or hindering. As we get a bit older this is even more important because we often have much more on our minds and may not recall just how one felt two days ago in the early am.
The hydroxide form of the mineral is more bioavailable and the most common Ormus precipitate contains mineral-hydroxides. These are in parts per million or parts per billion –not very much; you would need, for example, a dump truck of horsetail plants to get 1 oz of gold.
However you will be hard pressed to find clinical studies on Essential minerals, macro or micro. This is understandable since there are definite variables in mineral absorption, its storage and its excretion; variance with age, sex, health, physiological activity, dietary components, pregnancy, lactation, individual genetics, processing or lack of processing of food and bioavailability of the mineral from the diet. Also availability of minerals in the soil, hence the food itself is not reviewed. The government doesn’t get involved much since minerals are not classified as food or drug. The subcommittee of the National Research Council (US) tasked with calculating mineral recommended Daily Allowance has recorded that RDA amounts are a value judgment based on reasonable assumptions (sic: rather than a scientific determination) such as in healthy people there are some mineral stores in the body and further it assumes what may be the size of these stores needed and used as a reserve against periods of negative mineral balance. These variances cause difficulty in estimating their RDA requirement. Also noted is that a number of minerals lack analysis methods to diagnose their status in the body.
A catch 22 is that if not enough minerals are in the body, life force is affected, diminished, and if too much, the physical body can be negatively affected. Anything too much is not good; now there are reports that too much orange juice causes melanoma, and in the young too much vitamin C can precipitate heart attack. Another person commented that too much vitamin B-12 and “you have to peel me off the ceiling” (too much excitatory energy). So, Ormus is no different than any other supplement.
Today the responsibility for any use of Ormus substances remains with you alone, an individual, to think seriously about all the benefits of good nutrition and any needed supplements. The book Ormus Modern Day Alchemy addresses your personal responsibility in this area:

“Ormus used as supplements are for research and experimental purposes only and therefore there are no specific “dosages” to state. I can tell you what I/others use, or have heard of being used, on plants/agriculture, animals and ourselves. The opinions are believed to be accurate and the information sound based on the best judgment available.
The following statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration nor are they intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. Further, if there are choices made in determining how to use Ormus for plants/agriculture, animals and ourselves, make those decisions based on conservative thinking.”
Since supplementing with Ormus often results in noticeable effect as life continues we caution that Ormus is a personal journey ---And not one taken lightly.
MINERALS IN THE SOIL; SENATE DOCUMENT #264
THIS IS A BOMBSHELL !
Our foods are bereft of minerals. This is hidden knowledge not secret.
Without a Trace:
"A U.S. Senate investigation revealed that food grown on millions of acres of land no longer contains enough minerals and is starving us." -Mother Earth News, Summer 2022
In 1936 Senator, Mr. Duncan Fletcher, Democrat of Florida, did the best he could to alert the public. On June 5 he addressed the 74th Congress, 2nd Session, a joint session of the congress and the senate, regarding depletion of minerals from our agricultural soil. In short he warned: “Laboratory tests prove that the fruits, vegetables, grains, eggs and even the milk and meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the mineral salts he requires for perfect health…” “The alarming fact is that foods – fruits, vegetables and grains – now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed nutrients, are starving us — no matter how much we eat of them.”
While no forward action was taken, Senator Fletcher asked that the document be filed as a permanent Congressional record.
Thus it became “U.S. Senate document 264”.
This documentation, based on the agricultural practices of Dr. Charles Northen, provides some of the most convincing arguments ever made regarding mineral nutrition -and the need for better growing methods.
Dr. Northen words were read out loud at this joint session.
From U.S. Senate Document 264, 74th Congress, 2nd Session, June 5, 1936
"Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume."
"Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until depleted soils from which our food comes are brought into proper mineral balance?"
"The alarming fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving us -no matter how much of them we eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them."
"The truth is that our foods vary enormously in value, and some of them aren't worth eating as food...Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume."
"This talk about minerals is novel and quite startling. In fact, a realization of the importance of minerals in food is so new that the textbooks on nutritional dietetics contain very little about it. Nevertheless, it is something that concerns all of us, and the further we delve into it the more startling it becomes."
"You'd think, wouldn't you, that a carrot is a carrot -that one is about as good as another as far as nourishment is concerned? But it isn't; one carrot may look and taste like another and yet be lacking in the particular mineral element which our system requires and which carrots are supposed to contain."
"Laboratory test prove that the fruits, the vegetables, the grains, the eggs, and even the milk and the meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago (which doubtless explains why our forefathers thrived on a selection of foods that would starve us!)"
"No man today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his stomach with the mineral salts he requires for perfect health, because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them! And we are running to big stomachs."
"No longer does a balanced and fully nourishing diet consist merely of so many calories or certain vitamins or fixed proportion of starches, proteins and carbohydrates. We know that our diets must contain in addition something like a score of minerals salts."
"It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99% of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack or one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our lives."
"We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for normal function of some special structure in the body. Disorder and disease result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body's appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of mineral's they have no function to perform. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless."
"Certainly, our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories of vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein of carbohydrates we consume."
"This discovery is one of the latest and most important contributions of science to the problem of human health."
".........this concludes Senate Document 264, 74th Congress, 2nd Session, June 5, 1936."
While Senate Document 264 addresses mineral requirements of the physical body the obscured awareness is that we embody more than just a body. Each of us is comprised of four distinct aspects.
In addition to having a physical body we have the Mental, Emotional and Spiritual parts. When the physical body is properly nourished, these other three aspects are also more energetic. Hence increased vibrancy from proper mineral intake affects all the facets of ourselves.
A realization of the importance of minerals in food is something that concerns all of us. The further we delve into their deficiency in the soil the more startling it becomes..."
This is why we supplement with Ormus minerals. The Ormus form, being the most bio-available, is hence the most active.
Ormus provides minerals that carry a charge. In the body, movement of charge generates energy by way of Redox reactions. These energy producing reactions are vital for keeping the body functioning.
Minerals are also at the heart of biological enzyme and hormonal functions. These drive the physical body. They assist in coordination of cellular actions, enzyme cofactors, growth and development, immune response and glandular hormonal secretions. Glandular hormones run every aspect of the physical body from brain activity to the smallest teardrop that forms.
The Major Minerals and the Trace Minerals
Every living thing requires minerals, for growth, maintenance and repair. Nutrition Science, the healing art that studies how nutrients work in our bodies, is aware that Life is maintained because of the biological functions of enzymes and hormones and these all depend on the presence of a mineral or minerals. Minerals [and vitamin] are essential nutrients because acting together they perform hundreds of roles in the body; they help shore up bones, heal wounds, bolster the immune system, convert food into energy and repair cellular damage. The truth is that when the minerals in Ormus are given to plant, animal and human, a shift has been made which supports vitality, good health and as often reported: a better functioning brain –which probably explains far reaching change in thought.
It is vital to understand that every gland in the body requires mineral(s) to Run each of the body’s many functions by way of the hormones they secrete or act upon. The glands must have minerals to perform their function. Life continues without plentiful minerals, but it does so at a cost to vitality. Are you aware of the number of glands in the body? The major ones alone include the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid’s, adrenals, pineal, pancreas and reproductive glands [including ovaries and testes].

Glands are important organs that secrete substances needed by the body. Ormus supports the work of glands in the body!
A study has reported a new organ in the body. Researchers claim interstitium is an organ, though not yet officially recognized, that secretes lymph. Lymph fluid supports the delivery of the hormone progesterone which helps keep hormones in balance. Lymph fluid is also needed for immune cells to work well.
https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-the-interstitium
Interstitium, previously known as epithelium, are fluid-filled spaces in tissue and connected throughout the body such as skin, veins and arteries, and the lining around muscles. The interstitium is a “highway” of interconnected spaces filled with moving fluid which the study reports is where lymph comes from.
Until recently it was thought that these parts of the body contained walls of collagen, the main component of connective tissue. The new study showed that the "walls" aren't walls at all. Instead, they're spaces filled with fluid supported by collagen. The spaces are the interstitium. interstitium was found in tissue from the lungs and aorta, the digestive tract and bladder, in the skin, and in many other parts of the body.

Glands in the body
The body needs many minerals; these are called essential minerals. Essential minerals are sometimes divided up into major minerals (macrominerals) and trace minerals (microminerals). Macro means large in Greek and so the main difference between the two is how much your body needs of them; the body needs a larger amount of macrominerals than trace minerals. Both sets of minerals have value and the differing amounts needed in the body are not an indication of their importance. Examples of macrominerals include; calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), sulfur (S) and chloride -an ion of chlorine Cl).
Ormus contains both sets of minerals. Lab assay performed on Ormus collected from Masada brand unscented Dead Sea salt showed that it contains the macrominerals listed above. Lab assay performed on Ormus collected from a mixture of Masada brand unscented Dead Sea salt, Great Salt Lake, Celtic and Atlantic Ocean showed that it contains the macrominerals listed above.
While macrominerals are present in Ormus, the small one-half teaspoon that is commonly employed could not contain enough amount of macrominerals to warrant Ormus as a supplement for the macro’s. With this understanding, you may decide to include a macromineral supplement such as calcium (Citracal), magnesium (Magnesium Glycinate), and sulfur (MSM -methylsulfonylmethane). Also consider that a rounded out supplement regimen would include a Vitamin supplement and CQ10 supplement.
Trace means there is only a little of it. Trace minerals, also called microminerals, are needed in just a little bit by the body. Both sets of minerals have value and the differing amounts needed in the body are not an indication of their importance. Examples of trace minerals; iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), iodine (I), zinc (ZN), cobalt (Co), selenium (Se) and fluorine (F) –fluoride is an ion of fluorine.
Lab assay performed on Ormus collected from unscented Masada brand Dead Sea salt showed that it contains most every trace mineral. Lab assay performed on Ormus collected from a mixture of Masada brand unscented Dead Sea salt, Great Salt Lake, Celtic and Atlantic Ocean showed that it contains most every trace mineral. Because the body needs trace minerals in only small amounts, Ormus supplementation is a source for trace minerals.
While Ormus contains small amounts of minerals it is the addition of its inexplicable high frequency vigor called elemental Life force or m-state (meta-physical state) that boosts the benefits seen after Ormus.
There is also an esoteric reason suggested for the benefit that minerals provide. Minerals demonstrate, from a biophysical standpoint, specific frequency patterns, vibration patterns, that are similar to our body. These patterns ensure the geometric structures in our anatomy. When these structures are missing, we are without energy and are lifeless. Similarly when minerals are in diminutive supply our vitality in all areas is diminished; changes in mood being among an initial sign of a subadequate intake.
Trace minerals are required in small concentrations for processes in the body such as coordination of cellular actions, enzyme cofactors, and they play a role in growth, development, and immune response. The glands functions in the body run all aspects of the physical body including the brain. Glands produce hormones that run the physical body including the brain.
Hormones are secreted by glands in small amounts directly into blood and travel throughout the body via the blood circulatory system. Their effect is at sites different from where they are made -where they act on specific tissues or organs.
Hormones in the body include: Thyroid hormones T3 and T4, Insulin, Glucagon, Estrogen, Oxytocin, ADH Antidiuretic Hormone, TSH Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, LH Lutenizing Hormone, Calcitonin, PTH Parathyroid Hormone, Progesterone, Prolactin, Testosterone, Serotonin, Cortisol, Adrenaline, Growth Hormone Somatotropin, Parathormone, Thymus hormone ect…
Glands require trace minerals to be able to produce hormones. Better function glands after Ormus is one cause for reports made about greater vitality in mind and body.
For in-depth information on minerals effects in the body read:
“Minerals for the Genetic Code” by Charles Walters.
An exposition & analysis of the genetic periodic chart & the physical, chemical & biological connection.
The minerals that are most heard about are: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfur, chlorine and phosphorus. And these important minerals are sometimes called the electrolytes or the macro-minerals.
Then there are trace minerals. Although they are not often spoken about trace minerals are needed in small amounts and unequivocally essential for life. There are many trace minerals. A few which come to mind are: iron, copper, manganese, zinc, chromium, selenium, lithium, cobalt, silicon, boron, lanthanum, cesium, iodine, strontium...
Trace minerals are at the heart of Biological enzyme and hormonal function. And these functions are what drive the physical body.

Mineral effects in the Body
Examples of trace minerals:
Selenium increases the number of enzymes and with this increase, the enzymatic activity of white blood cells is greater. The result is heightened immunity. A fortified immune system holds microbes and fungi at bay. These microscopic attackers are at all times attempting to gain a foothold in the body. Selenium also has a profound effect on the stabilization of DNA strands of tumor-suppressing proteins. The result is that these proteins are more effective in keeping tumors from growing in the body.
Yttrium is required for the brain to function. If Yttrium is in short supply, calcium will step in. However a consequence of calcium use in the brain is the construction of stone which results from the presence of calcium and is a veritable contaminant in the brain. Calcium is a poor substitute for Yttrium in the brain.
Lanthanum acts as the glue that holds “junk” DNA together. Whatever it is that junk DNA does, holding that DNA together is very important.
Cesium supports the immune system. Cesium enters the cells and produces an alkaline environment of about pH 8. A higher pH is part of therapy called pH Therapy. By affecting pH in the body Cesium short stops disease in the first place.
Iodine is essential for metabolism of fats and is a major component in the production of thyroxine (spelling is correct) by the thyroid gland. Thyroxine, considered one of the most important thyroid hormones, is secreted into the bloodstream where it is the number 1 free-floating hormone and plays a major role in digestion, heart and muscle function, brain development and maintaining bones.
Strontium helps bone cells that are responsible for rebuilding bone. This is important. As animals age bone cells break down faster than they are being made. This is part of the aging process.
Cobalt is responsible for irons’ entry into the body and cobalt is also a component of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is a stimulant in the production of the protein molecule in red blood cells called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen a necessary element for normal cell growth and healthy nerve tissue.
When the biological thing (plant or animal) lacks sufficient calories it is said to be undernourished. The biological thing is said to be malnourished when a nutritional imbalance occurs from essential nutrients such as minerals.
When malnourished, Mineral deficiency diseases can occur such as: Arthritis, osteoporosis, impaired glucose intolerance, mental debility, peripheral neuropathy ect.
In the state of malnourishment life continues although quality of life decreases. The living thing (plant or animal) presents as lacking with a diminished ability to hold disease at bay and an accelerated process of decline (aging) as it spirals towards an early demise.
We are sorely lacking in minerals, especially the trace minerals. It is common knowledge that agricultural land is over farmed, the remains of harvests scraped off and not tilled under so the soil may digest and make ready for plant use. There is no care or time given for the digestive apparatus of soil to maintain a state of living soil. Soil loss is mineral loss as the land is not given an opportunity to re-mineralize.
The result is that future crops suffer and the animals that eat the under mineralized crops are undernourished. This soil loss has continued for decades and has resulted in lowered fertility of crop plants. The response has been to inundate the plants with narrow spectrum fertilizers such as NPK, which contains only Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. These 3 elements force the crop plant to grow although the harvest is deprived of minerals because the soil is deadened. We can appreciate why NPK fertilizer is called Foo-Foo dust as the appearance of large, good-looking fruits and vegetables masks the reality of severely compromised mineral content.
It goes without much ado that the body has probably not been getting from the diet enough of [or any of] these minerals, especially trace minerals. Foods are drastically low on minerals: Soil is overworked, crops harvested before maturity, fertilizers containing Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potassium are used not mineral replacement, packaged foods are over processed, chemicals are added, for example Glyphosate, a pesticide and herbicide said to impede plant uptake of minerals, add to the mix. In addition, folks regularly just do not eat balanced meals.
An Organic vegetable grower has said that tomatoes in the store contain, on average 12 minerals while tomatoes grown hydroponically with sea water feedings have 52 minerals. Tomatoes grown in this manner taste better too.
Trace Mineral deficiency, a big problem all over the world, affects your quality of Life. It is the world’s leading cause of mental impairment, It compromises immune systems; shortens lifespan: usually from increased severity of disease, It is associated with significant increase in deaths from heart disease and stroke.
Even moderate levels of trace mineral deficiency with no clinical symptoms can have devastating consequences.
Summary
From here you will proceed forward or look back. Fortify the terrain of plants and the body of animals, including yourself, by re-mineralizing the system. The plain truth is you are a product of the times and you are under-mineralized: Life continues at the expense of vitality in mind, body and spirit.
Folks who supplement with minerals most often buy them in a tablets or capsule form. However for the body to absorb them it must first dissolve them. Liquefaction is retarded though because minerals are literally a rock. The result is that less than 10% is absorbed from the GI tract with the level of absorption into cells almost immeasurably low.
