CALCIUM: It is needed in every organ of the body, including the brain, and promotes healing everywhere in the body.   Calcium is valuable for tone, power, strength, longevity, vitality and endurance, healing of wounds, counter-acting acids and helping regulate metabolism.  It is one of the first elements to go out of balance when the diet is inadequate.  White spots on the fingernails indicate a calcium deficiency. 
 
A lack of calcium leads to a host of diseases and degenerative conditions.  When calcium is missing stuttering, stammering, an inferiority complex, soft bones, sores and sore tissues are some of the symptoms.  Other symptoms of a calcium deficiency: acne, arthritis, acidosis, A.D.D., asthma, bell's palsy, cramps, common cold, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, carpal tunnel syndrome, cavities, cataracts, enlarged heart, fibromyalgia, gallstones, and high cholesterol.  Natural sources: Chinese cabbage, salmon, sardines, white beans, broccoli, egg yolks, almonds, figs, dates, sesame seeds, molasses, maple syrup, brussel sprouts, collard greens, dairy products, tofu, soy beans, prunes, onions, vegetable greens, kidney beans, lentils, and shellfish. 
 
NOTE: refined sugar and foods high in oxalic acid (spinach, beet leaves, chard, chocolate, cranberries and rhubarb) and phytic acid (germ, bran and legumes) leach calcium from the body and should be used sparingly.
 
MAGNESIUM: It is a natural tranquilizer.  Three hundred enzymatic reactions are dependent on Magnesium and it works hand in hand with calcium to decrease the aging cycle as well as taking the pain out of PMS.  It helps in relaxing nerves, relieving muscle tension, assisting digestion, and is necessary to keep vertebrae in their proper position.  Some symptoms of a magnesium deficiency: asthma, anorexia, cramps, convulsions, calcification of organs, calcification of small arteries, PMS, depression, growth failure, headaches, kidney stones, malignant calcification of tissue, migraines, muscular weakness, muscle tremors, muscle tics, myocardial infarction, neuromuscular problems, vertigo, and wrinkles.
 
Magnesium is the most important mineral the body requires for cellular health. It soothes the sympathetic nervous system (providing deeper rest), and is essential for the production of amino acids that are critical for virtually every chemical reaction in the body. When you restore vital magnesium to the body, you make cellular regeneration possible.  Natural sources: nuts, whole grains, unpolished rice, wheat germ, chlorophyll and green veggies.
 
POTASSIUM: This mineral is a primary electrolyte, the great alkalizer and is important in pH and water balance.  It is vital to the elimination of wastes in the body and is a natural diuretic that helps your body excrete water and inorganic sodium thus possibly lowering blood pressure.  It is critical to cardiovascular and nerve function, regulating the transfer of nutrients into cells and facilitating muscle energy.  When potassium levels fall, mental illness and alcoholism may develop as the nerve and mind becomes inflamed and causes the person to only see the negative side of life.  When potassium starvation occurs, suicide is often contemplated.  One common sign of potassium deficiency is earaches.  Some symptoms of a potassium deficiency: bad circulation, bluish tint to skin, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, earaches, edema, headaches, heart palpitations, hypertension, insomnia, intestinal pain, muscle weakness, oppressive breathing, pain in the eyes, prolapsed uterus, swollen glands, tissue anemia and water retention.  Natural sources: leafy green vegetables, citrus, bananas, black olives, potato peelings, beets, beans, kelp, whole grains and seafood.
 
Good health is being balanced on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels of your being.  A key to health and well being is found in maintaining a proper nutritional foundation.  Excess or deficiency in any of the primary chemical elements needed in human nutrition could account for most disease and mental symptoms.  Human body tissue can neither be restored nor rejuvenated without proper nutritional support.  Eating correctly should be our number one priority, but the reality of our highly processed fast food society is that today it is very difficult to follow a healthy diet.  It is even more difficult for our body to digest, absorb and metabolize the foods we eat into useable elements necessary for proper body function.  The problem is compounded by the fact that many fruits and vegetables are picked green before they absorb the proper nutrients.  The soil has also been depleted over the years without a proper balance being put back into it.  Nutrient depleted soil equals nutrient depleted food.  If you are not eating foods high in nutrients, supplementation is a must.  Many find the pH Rescue a benefit to there daily regiment.
           
Our bodies are NOT designed to ingest and assimilate foods that are deficient in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fiber, and are loaded with additives designed to give them eternal shelf life.  Such "food" leads to sickness and disease.  Just as every disease takes time to develop, eliminating disease also takes time.  Gradually, we reverse from the chronic stage of disease toward good health.
