One of the greatest mysteries of our current medical community is why
there are so many youth and adults without the ability to focus,
concentrate and learn skills in the ‘normal’ way. One need only read the
paper to hear stories of special education facilities in schools incapable of
dealing with the number of students that can not function in a regular classroom
because they can not sit still, focus on the work, remember their assignments,
etc. The cost of these children to society in education and as they grow into
adults with many of the same problems prompted Associated Interventions and
Counseling, Inc. of Ogden, Utah to explore further.
No one can say for certain why these problems exist in our society at this time
and in other industrialized societies but there are viable explanations. We do
not know that the foods we eat are no longer ripened to maturity on the plant
but picked at immaturity for better handling and shipping. We also know that
most foods are grown in chemically treated soils to enrich growth, weight, and
fight pests. Residual chemicals are part of the food we eat. We also know the
basic eating habits and styles of industrialized nations reflect more additives
and preservatives and less fresh, properly prepared diets. It was with this
information that Associated Interventions and Counseling, Inc. of Ogden, Utah
sought to discover if the use of minerals could help these children and adults
do better and calm down to a level where they could function and learn better.
As part of this exploration a study was set up using a test known as the T.O.V.A.
(Test of Variable Attentiveness) to measure the impulsivity, hyperactivity,
reaction time and variability (ability to stay with the task at hand). A
scientifically significant number of participants (n=34) was found that showed
signs of these traits in their testing. Participants used in this study
demonstrated on this scientifically validated test that they possessed the
traits of impulsivity, hyperactivity, poor reaction time or difficulty staying
on task. They were administered ten drops of concentrated minerals produced by
Trace Minerals. These minerals were given to then orally in juice (approximately
eight oz.). Electron-microscopic studies have shown that such administration
reaches the system within approximately 45 minutes. Forty five minutes after
ingesting the minerals they were tested again using the T.O.V.A. The T.O.V.A. is
fully validated to not be able to be learned and create the problem called
test-retest problems. Therefore the results of the second test would clearly
show if there was an effect by the administration of the minerals.
The results were astounding. In approximately eighty percent of the cases there
was a significant decrease in impulsivity, hyperactivity, reaction time or
variability. In several cases the original test revealed the child or adult to
show the measurements typical of a person with problems maintaining attention
and forty-five minutes later they showed results of a person with typical and
normal attention. No one can say for sure what the minerals did for the
participants but the effect cannot be denied. Whether the minerals have the
ability to help the nerve impulses get to the proper part of the body and brain
better, restore communication and electrical balance in the body or serve
another purpose is not clear at this junction. It would appear that at a
synaptic level of nerve endings there is a receptor more often and with greater
ease. In many people the nerve impulses appear to be moving through
non-conductive space whereas after the minerals the space is conductive and the
nerve impulses increase their efficiency. What is clear is that both the adults
and the children reduced their negative characteristics at significant measures
and with the administration of a natural product instead of the use of
potentially dangerous drugs.
Further investigation into this new information found that when used in doses of
ten to twenty-five drops three times a day this calmness and better attention to
detail could be maintained. The participants explained, “I listened better.
“I didn’t get into trouble today for the first time!”, “Mom and dad are
not yelling as much. It sure is better at home.” It was further discovered
that the drops when used in conjunction with a product called nature rest and
Stress X, also manufactured by Trace Minerals, there was an immediate and
dramatic increase in the ability to fall asleep at night, sleep soundly and
peacefully, wake refreshed and calm. When the drops and the Nature Rest and
Stress X were taken during the day there were reports of better work performance
in adults and youths, a greater calmness, less anxiety, decreased stress and an
increase ion the ability to follow directions and complete tasks.
Scientifically it is not possible to tell exactly what happened with the
administration of the minerals. It is only clear that something changed. There
is a need to have further research to see if the electrical system of the body
modified and connected better after administration of the minerals as in a
synaptic change of electrical conductivity. There is need to see if the minerals
aiding the ability of the body to get the nutrients it needs increases the
natural ability of the body to operate as designed. There is also need to accept
that the results clearly indicate that the administration of the minerals to
people with trouble focusing, being impulsive, not listening as they should and
not functioning as normal made a significant difference. The reasons now need
further exploration. Fortunately, unlike the use of medications, there is no
need to worry about side effects or long-term damage to the person or body when
the minerals are used and further research proceeds. The natural origins make
them a variable alternative for use.
It is important to note that the minerals did not and will not “cure”. They
are not designed to cure. The body has the capacity to cure itself in many cases
if it has the materials it needs to do so. It would appear in this study that
the body, once receiving natural ionic minerals, moves towards homeostatis or
balance on its own. The organism cannot work without receiving them
nutritionally. The minerals appear to be doing so. This may well be a far
greater value to the new generation than we can imagine if used wisely.
