Dear Friends,

The other day I awoke to find the following note in my email box:

Dear Stuart and Don, My friend and I have been using your majestic earth minerals for a few months now and our bone density tests taken last week were remarkable. My test shows young adult in the positive range and his has gone from a minus 2 last year to a plus 2 this year. The only thing he was taking was your Pig formula. Wow.......Ruth Mayne

"Wow" indeed! There it is in a nutshell: the reason why I am writing you this letter and the reason why, I hope, you are reading it. If I owned the Chicago Tribune or the New York Times this story, the Dr. Wallach story, the story of Ruth Mayne and tens of thousands of people just like her would dominate the front pages. How incredible is it that following a little common sense advice, keeping the bad stuff OUT of our bodies (sugar, caffeine, pollutants, fried food, phosphoric acid, etc.) and putting the good stuff IN (the 90 nutrients essential to human health in an absorbable, bio-available, user friendly form), can free us completely, TOTALLY, from the shackles of degenerative disease!!!? The question of who will carry Florida is all very interesting but my GOODNESS(!!) think of the explosion of human energy, the explosion of productivity, the freeing up of resources and the diminution of human suffering that could occur if we were all reading about and following Ruth's example, instead of worrying about which professional politician will occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue next!!

What is truly revolutionary about Dr. Wallach's "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" tape is not the whistle blowing he does on it or the invective he levels against our present day medical establishment so much as it is the fact that he shows us the way to mastery of our own health. Yes, it is important to know that trusting the doctors and the surgeons and the pharmaceutical industry and the hospitals with our own precious health is a crap shoot at best but what is more important is the knowledge, the firm awareness, that we have a choice. Our bodies possess a sort of innate intelligence, a propensity for self-healing. We can choose to embrace and support that propensity or we can choose to undermine it.

What I love about the message (above) from Ruth Mayne is the note of astonished delight it sounds. Ruth, by golly, took matters into her own hands and shut the door on that whole looming nightmare of pain and dependency and collapse. Instead of running to the doctors and doping herself with, say, prednisone to relieve her symptoms (and destroying her liver into the bargain!!), she chose to educate herself, she chose to go to cause rather than symptom, to embark on a sort of cooperative venture with her own body and...she triumphed!

An even more serious situation was facing John Tripp, another person with whom I have had contact, recently. Dizziness and debilitating fatigue sent him to the doctor's office. There he learned the diagnosis: Diabetes. Diabetes the number four killer in America. Diabetes, the disease that can not be reversed, we are told, only controlled, its merciless march of death and destruction through every limb and major organ in our body slowed, merely slowed. With reluctance John accepted the prescription his doctor handed him, an insulin type drug. This is it, John thought, the beginning of dependency. I am a sick man. Twenty five years of steady decline await me. But what really awaited John was Dr. Wallach's message, out there, in the public eye. Two little minerals: vanadium and chromium deficient in our diet and crucial to the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels ("No, we can't use the 'C' word, but we can say you get 100% better."--Dr. Wallach). John purchased Dr. Wallach's book, "Rare Earths," and, like Ruth, educated himself and, again like Ruth, chose the Naturopathic path. Using chromium and vanadium (constituents of Sweet-EZE) initially at low dosage and eventually boosting intake to 600mg / day, John was able to wean himself completely off his prescription drug. No more dizziness. No more Diabetes. Instead of five or six naps a day he now takes one. And the point of it all, the real triumph for John and Ruth and all the others we hear from is the realization that we and no one else are stewards of our bodies and masters of our health. Given his success with the Diabetes, John recently placed an order for a large stash of Majestic Earth Minerals and Majestic Earth Ultimate Classic. Might as well stay ahead of the curve on the OTHER 880 nutritional deficiency diseases!

Though his health lectures are typically two hours long (he is a scientist, for Heaven's sake. He's got to present the evidence!!), Dr. Wallach's thesis is a fairly straightforward, simple one: There are 90 nutrients essential to human health. For every nutrient we go without we subject ourselves, on average, to 10 different degenerative diseases (you do the math and see how I get the figure of 880 above). Ideally we get the nutrients we need from the food we eat. Sadly, though, our food is empty food. It fills our belly but fails to deliver sustenance. The reason? Goes back to basics, back to agriculture, to the condition of our range and crop soils. One hundred plus years of raising crops with chemical fertilizers and controlling our rivers so they can not flood has caused the mineral content of our soils to plunge to dangerous levels. Sure, one can maximize bushels per acre by applying the popular fertilizer NPK (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus) but after five or six years all the other minerals in the soils are stripped away, emptied out by the plants the farmers remove. Because plants can not manufacture minerals but must draw them up, through their roots, from the soil and because plants rely on minerals to allow them to manufacture the other nutrients we need, the impoverishment of our soils has led to an impoverishment of the nutrient content of our food supply. Bottom line: unless we supplement, unless we obtain the nutrients we need from a source other than our food supply, we are up the creek.

It's tough to break away from old habits and notions. One notion, that there is a 'pill for every ill,' has caused many people to scurry off to the health food store after listening to Dr. Wallach's tape: "I have premature grey hair," they think to themselves, "I need copper. I have trouble with my heart. I need vitamin E and selenium." Tragically, this does them almost as much of a disservice as not supplementing in the first place. Fact is, for example, calcium ALONE does more harm than good. One needs magnesium with calcium and a whole slew of amino acid co-factors, if the body is to put it all to use. Calcium alone, with no where to go just gets shuffled around in the body, deposited in inappropriate places. Also, and this is ENORMOUSLY important, the nutrients one finds in tablets and capsules, for the most part, are virtually useless. They are in a form the body can not recognize or use. As human beings we are designed to get our sustenance from the plants we eat. We need bio-available nutrients, nutrients directly from plants, minerals, for example, which have been taken up, from the soil by plants growing in that soil: organically bound minerals. The minerals one finds in tablet form are, typically, in a salt or metallic, or at best chelated form. The body must struggle, must work and work and work to make use of them.

Dr. Wallach's supplements, on the other hand, the ones that he has a hand at formulating, his line of Majestic Earth Supplements, are directly from plants grown in mineral rich soil. They are highly bio-available (98% compared to 10 to 40% for pill form nutrients). They are, hands down, the best supplements on the market. Great care goes into their production. I have actually visited the mine site where they are mined and processed. The gentleman in charge of the operation is an engineer by trade. He holds a number of patents on very sophisticated filtering systems. The organic material, plants that grew years ago in virgin, mineral rich soil, is extracted and then allowed to soak in huge sealed vats of spring water so that the minerals will leach out. Then the slurry is filtered and re-filtered removing all contaminants. Of greatest concern are the ores and metallic minerals mixed in with the organic minerals. Fortunately these are slightly larger in size and so can be filtered out. Also, of course, all biological contaminants are removed. In terms of cleanliness and safety our product exceeds any and all government or non government standards.

So, where is the best place to start if you want to do right by your body? In my view there is only one place to start. Start by saturating your system with all 90 nutrients essential to your health (see below for details). Start by giving up on sugar, caffeine, phosphoric acid (Coke, Pepsi, 7Up, etc.) and fried foods. Think about what is at stake: your health, your longevity, your quality of life, being there for your loved ones, being able to give your best to family and career. DON'T UNDER-INVEST!!! Don't try to cut corners. Don't skimp. This is your life! Commit to it.

I hope the above does not sound too bossy or shrill. But the most common mistake that folks new to Youngevity make is under-investing in their health and it is agonizing for me, personally, to have to watch people fail. In the interest of saving money a newcomer to Youngevity might, typically, order one bottle of Majestic Earth Minerals to 'test' it. Unless they are severely deficient in minerals, though, the results are predictable. They will get a bad taste in their mouth (literally) and nothing more. Then, of course, they throw away the bottle and throw in the towel. Yes, we are a push button society. Yes, we expect instant results. But Nature does not work that way. Instead of inflated expectation, what is needed is patience and commitment. Treat your body right, lay down a strong nutritional foundation, invest in your health and, over time you will be paid back in ways and to a degree that you can not even put a number on!
