Frequently Asked Questions About Kona Deep Sea Minerals

Why does Dr. Kellas talk so much about the importance of minerals?

The reason is that minerals are the foundation of health. Metabolism, activity, stress and eating carbohydrate foods uses up mineral stores that we may have in the body, and if we don't eat mineral rich foods we are on a "one way street" to poor health. 

What are the three bad consequences of mineral loss in the human body.

1. Bad result # 1 of inadequate mineral supplies is that our cells start to lose correct function. When our mineral and trace mineral reserves are insufficient, many chemical reactions no longer occur properly because of the missing needed minerals.
2. Bad result # 2 of inadequate mineral supplies is that our bodies lose the ability to stay alkaline — allowing degenerative diseases a greater chance to develop since many diseases occur primarily in an acidic environment. So, as we lose a plentiful supply of minerals, we become ever more acidic and disease prone.
3. Bad result # 3 of inadequate mineral supplies is that we become more prone to autoimmune disease because with inadequate minerals there will be mineral substitution in our tissues meaning an an incorrect mineral being substituted for the correct one, because the correct mineral is inadequately supplied.

   The end result of mineral substitution can be billions of molecules in our body that are not built right. The tissues with these incorrect minerals appear to the immune system as foreign... and this can be the beginning of autoimmune disease.

Where do Kona Deep Sea Minerals come from?

They come from a deep ocean source of minerals created by volcanic activity near Keahole Point, Kona Hawaii. This is the western most point of the Big Island of Hawaii. An unusual lava tube, spout and lattice created by volcanic flow is a reminder that this area is a zone of regeneration.

What does the term Zone of Regeneration refer to?

This particular area of the Pacific Ocean is called a zone of regeneration because it has received rich supplies of minerals from underwater volcanic activity over millenia. Therefore, the plankton and other minute sea life growing in this area are quite “mineral rich”.

Over time, as the plankton and other minute life have died, their bodies have "composted" and descended into ocean depths to rest on cold thermal layers. There is an inexhaustible supply. This mineral rich water is a kind of ocean “milk”. The minerals of this ocean milk are naturally ionized because they were once part of organic life. This ionization allows them to easily be absorbed into the human body, unlike non-organic minerals which do not assimilate very well. Their mineral rich-ness regenerates all life-forms in the area with their assimilable minerals.

What Types of People Are Most at Risk for Becoming Mineral Deficient?

These types of people are most at risk for the following reasons:

• Athletes - when we speak of groups that are at risk, we don’t always think of athletes, but we should — being an athlete involves a nutritional risk that many do not think about.

  The scientific explanation for this risk is perhaps best understood by thinking of a racing car compared to an ordinary commuter car (or an athlete compared to a sedentary person). A racing car deals with more stress and strain and energy expenditure in one race than a commuter car does in many days (maybe months or y ears) of driving a few miles each day back and forth.

  Both stress and metabolizing food to create energy use up nutrients (IE minerals), so if they aren't replaced because the athlete is eating the Standard American Diet, then the athlete's mineral reserves are being lessened significantly — until one day they are dangerously low.

  But, that isn't all. Athletes lose a large amount of electrolytes, minerals and trace minerals through sweating. Again, they do more sweating in one athletic event than most people do in days, weeks or months. That is another reason for their mineral levels declining into dangerous ranges and why you hear of athletes falling over dead so often.

  Kona Deep Sea Minerals would be excellent for athletes to consume daily.

• People with stress-filled lives. Those with significant amounts of stress lose their minerals at a much faster rate, especially Magnesium, Boron, Zinc, Iron, Chromium, Copper and Manganese.
• People who consume significant amounts of empty carbs or alcohol. Eating simple carbohydrates foods or drinking alcohol means that one forces his body to metabolize those calories and expend minerals in doing so, without receiving at least as many minerals as were used up in the metabolic effort. Therefore, one has suffered a net loss of minerals. As this continues repeatedly, one's health foundation of minerals is eroded.

What Studies and Scientific References Are There Regarding the Importance of Minerals In Regard to Health?

Here's a starting list to begin your education, but please note that no amount of these references can be used as predictive. They are anecdotal, opinion and lack scientific controls. So, they are for education only:

• Rene Quinton — a French biologist and biochemist, studied sea water by comparing the microcosmic ocean environment and its similarities to blood plasma. His studies, grounded in the rich live mineral content found in plankton-fed seawater, led to his publication, "L’eau de Mer Milieu Organique" in 1904. His discovery became known as Ocean Plasma and led to an understanding that seawater contains every mineral and trace mineral known in organic form and provides all the necessary elements needed by human tissues. He documented that seawater is virtually identical to mammalian blood plasma. With the assistance of many eminent physicians, he successfully used seawater as a healing agent on thousands of patients in France and Egypt in the early 1900s. His reports included before-and-after photos of patients, including babies brought back from near death from cholera and other causes; cadaver-like bodies filled out to healthy plumpness; raw, weeping skin from eczema made smooth and lesion free…all by the power of seawater. Many early-20th-century scourges such as tuberculosis were shown to be healed by this remarkable marine plasma.

• Academic Journals - The importance of mineral elements for humans, domestic animals and plants: A review. Another great starting point for learning about the importance of minerals. Discusses individual minerals and trace elements - describing the use of each mineral in various systems and processes within the body.
