Charles Walters: Minerals for the Genetic Code

Health

Minerals, the elements of the earth, are the basic building blocks for life. They are needed for enzymatic reactions, to form vitamins, and to keep the human organism's homeostatic balance of liquids, among other things. Yet, minerals are generally relegated to an existence in the shadows of other, more complex substances.

Acidity or pH of body tissues and fluids depends on minerals, according to this article. Not only does proper pH balance depend on minerals, it is extremely important for good health:

"There are complex biochemical processes taking place in the body constantly in an attempt to keep blood pH as near perfect as possible. These are known as the pH buffering systems. These buffering systems need a good balance of minerals to work effectively. If we are getting inadequate mineral intake from the food we eat, we are going to start having problems with our pH balancing systems.

And if our pH is unbalanced, what is the result? Well, by now you should start having a good idea. Pick your disease, choose your unbalance. Cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, chronic fatigue, allergies, obesity, just name it. If you don't feel good, one of the basic things that stands between you and perfect health is your body's pH. Your basic metabolic body balance."

The mineral deficiencies in high tech crops, fast-growing varieties of wheat and rice which fueled the green revolution, are so severe they have been found to impair proper brain function and to have undermined the intelligence of a substantial part of the population, especially in the developing countries.

Now Dr Charles Walters has written what appears to be an interesting book on the value of minerals in nutrition and health. Minerals for the Genetic code! is a work that encompasses the whole route minerals take from presence in the soil to absorption by plants we use as foods, to their function in human metabolism and their correlation with out genes. Gary, a friend and internet activist, sent an introductory comment and some excerpts...

Minerals for the Genetic code! - By Charles Walters
– published by Acres USA – available at: http://www.emineral.info


According to Minerals for the Genetic Code, there is a way to heal abnormal genes… the book contains a mapping/correlation of specific mineral deficiencies to specific diseases…. there is a mapping among the physical, chemical and biological… a correlation between specific vertebrae in the body and the relative ability to assimilate a specific mineral aided by a specific amino acid….. the critical role of the farmer …. the stupidity of agri-business…. the species threatening dangers of genetically engineered foods….. the foregoing relationships to cell propagation, health, and life span… the critical importance of trace minerals to deal with specific diseases.

The story begins with Mendeleyev's Chart of elements, proceeds to the Walter Russell chart who rewrote Mendeleyev and moves to Dr. Olree’s adaptation of Russell’s chart and generation of the Biological Periodic Chart.

My further introduction to this book includes a reference to:

1) an assessment of the state of affairs (agriculture, food supply, health)
2) their implications, and
3) potential solutions

to a fundamental health crisis in United States caused by mineral-lacking food, crop contamination, subsequent food processing and genetic engineering of plants.

An information backdrop to why this book is so important and why you should read the book is the following statement: Dr. Linus Pauling (1901 – 1994), brilliant scientist and winner of two Nobel Prizes stated:

“You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”

In 1936, Rex Beach presented document #264 to the US Senate, which discussed Dr. Charles Northen’s research on the prevalent mineral depletion of America’s soil. At that time, North America’s soils were estimated to be hugely lacking in mineral content and 99% of Americans were considered mineral deficient.

Dr. Northen concluded, “Healthy plants mean healthy people. We can’t raise a strong race on a weak soil.”

Studies today confirm Dr. Northen’s conclusion that the mineral content of soil does in fact affect the mineral content of the food grown in it.

Unfortunately, 68 years later, little has been done to better the mineral content of North America’s soil. The 1992 Earth Summit soil mineral depletion report showed soil depletion in North America to be at 85 percent, the highest in the world.

Really, one might ask “just how important are minerals to maintain health in the human body?” The answer: absolutely critical.

To be redundant, it turns out that certain processes in the body and certain organs in the body need specific minerals to function well. If the minerals are not present, illness and even death can occur.

So, the assessment is: Houston, we have a problem; the United States soils are depleted of nutrients and plants cannot grow which contain a normal measure of minerals. Herbicides, pesticides are used to deal with predators of unhealthy plants fertilized with petrochemical products. We have and are creating genetically engineered crops.

The implications are that consumption of these plants, especially after current processing methods, will inadequately nourish humans and furthermore that the insufficient nourishment to the human body will eventually result in illness of that body. The agricultural use of herbicides, pesticides and petrochemical fertilizers used to deal with depleted soils and unhealthy crops enter the human body and cause cellular damage and injure chromosomes. Additionally, genetically engineered plant genes and bacteria have the potential to kill humans (see below) and or, cause mutation.

The long term solution is to

1) improve the soils (remineralization, elimination of toxic chemicals on the crops),
2) process the food so that it retains more nutrients using less chemical additives during the process,
3) and proceed with genetical engineering in a more prudent manner with better testing and regulation prior to consumer consumption.

The short term solution is:

1) to ingest organic mineral and trace mineral supplements with amino acids, and
2) vote with your dollars (choose food wisely).

The book “Minerals for the Genetic Code” is about the problem assessment, its implications and solutions. It is a book which profiles a scientific breakthrough in the understanding of the relationship between amino acids and minerals and how specific minerals can help reacquire balance in the body where an illness exists… and much more.

Examples/excerpts from the book:

Part One

1) Iodine is absolutely essential for thyroid function. The thyroid gland produces thyroxin, and thyroxin is absolutely essential if you want to metabolize sugar. (p xi)

2) … fluorine trumped the iodine…. the thyroid pathways keep your memory working and brain functioning… when fluorine enters, it shuts down 72 known iodine pathways, and ….. you end up getting…. people who can’t remember their names. (p xiii)

3) Sodium fluoride! It’s basically a poison…. added to the drinking water during World War II in German concentration camps. They soaked up all the lithium and made the prisoners more depressed and easy to manage.…. The fluoride issue emerged from the underworld of science the day the president of the Canadian Dental Association reversed the society’s position, one held during his professional lifetime. (p xviii)

4) … the cells are all protein producers. Trace nutrients govern the link of protein… Accordingly Olree set our to discover which individual amino acid was governed by which individual trace mineral.

5) .... almost all defects and malfunctions in the young are not the consequence of mutation resulting from damage to the genes as a primary cause, but are due to the disconnect between nature’s design of the human form and the nutritional support our agriculture and food processing allows…. (p 1)

6) Nutrients that increase enzymes build immunity. … The human body is able to correct malfunctioning genes 90% of the time, usually within 24 hours… (p 2)

7) The cancer patient … is dying of cachexia, malnutrition and wasting away. … all because somewhere in the cell replacement cycle of seven years the system ran out of selenium.. (p 2)

8) But genetics cannot be altered that way with impunity, not with GMO (genetically modified) food or malignant nutrition. (p 5)

9) Prednisone has been implicated in altering over 200 genes. This mean that it interferes with over 200 pathways. (p 6)

10) … the AMA has missed the train on probiotics…. Nothing but probiotics was required to treat this patient. (p 7)

11) … every form of cancer is a child of selenium deficiency. (p 9)

12) Splenda shrinks the thymus gland between 30 and 50%. (p 9)

13) …declining fertility levels brought on insect attacks for the crops and il
