Is Your Brain Plugged In?

What is your communication mode? Do You have the
Power to communicate fully? Maybe not!

Communication is a very important part of life, whether it be
a husband to wife or parent to child, company to employees,
clients to customers it still remains the most important thing
we need to be able to do.

Your brain power may still be compared to computers as
we now know them, but the brain is a much older and
definitely more powerful form of information processing
and communication. Our brain is of the utmost importance
in our lives and without it working up to 100% capabilities
you are retarded in the communication realm.

Even though we may still compare our brain to our
computer there is a vast difference in what we actually
process in our brain and process in our computer but
really not so different. Because the nutrition we put into our
brain is equivalent to the electrical plug that makes our
computers run. Without the electrical current being
completed the computer won't work…The difference
is; without proper nutrients (our electrical current)
the brain won't process well but you may fail to
recognize that fact because even a bad brain has
some communication ability!

Lets compare the two -computer vs brain - by saying
if you don't have an electrical outlet to plug your computer
into, or a battery pack in the case of your laptop, to provide
the electrical current there will be no information data
input or output from the computer. By the same token,
our brain needs electrical power not from an electrical
plug-in from a different source.

The saying goes for computers, "garbage in, garbage out."
Our brain is the same way, "garbage in, garbage out."
What are you feeding your brain?

Your brain uses almost 20% of all the oxygen you take into
your lungs. Your blood carries the oxygen to your brain.
This is why clogged arteries cause memory loss and
organizational skills impairment. Today's society is a fast
and processed food society and both foods are basically
void of nutrients and full of artery clogging fats or immune
killer sugars, that inhibit the oxygen flow to the brain.

There are documented case histories of children who died and
are dying of malnutrition - not because they're not eating but
from eating nothing but McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell,
Macaroni & Cheese from a box - well you get the idea! Fast
and or processed Food deaths totally preventable!

Your brain uses 50% of your energy and only occupies a
small portion of your total body volume, yet is the most
important organ in your body.

If you are tired frequently it could very well be that you
are not giving your brain proper nutrients.

Are you forgetting things that shouldn't be forgotten?
Could be a malnourished brain and insufficient rest!

Your brain requires complete minerals and trace minerals,
not 12 or 24 minerals but a total 84 minerals and trace minerals
to function on all cylinders. Are you putting ALL of them into
your brain or are you putting in the three nutrients that are in
your fruits, grains and vegetables gleaned from fertilizers?
Or are you putting in all the chemicals and hormones fed
the animals to fatten them and make them worth more
dollars and give off more fat clogging properties?

It now takes more than our foodstuff to give our brain the
nourishment required to function properly.

After World War II the farmers were told that the new
fertilizers would produce better and more crops than
the natural (manure) fertilizers they had used prior to that.
The farmers did away with alternating crops to help put
nutrients into the grounds and rely on fertilizers!

Exactly what happened? Gorgeous, tasteless fruits
and vegetables, bigger animals and more money in
the pocket of the chemical companies who make
the fertilizers! BUT NO NUTRIENTS in any of them,
to speak of!

Chemical manmade fertilizers have all of three nutrients,
nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. What happened to
the other 81 that our bodies requires?

That action also set up a chain reaction with our food
Animals as well. The feed they are fed now has only
those three nutrients absorbed from the fertilizers
along with the chemicals and hormones, which are
added to fatten them, therefore prevent the natural
(manure) fertilizers from containing the nutrients of old!
Setting up a viscous cycle! There are some nutrients
added to the animal feed, usually 7 to 23, but not the
complete 84 as required by our bodies to be healthy.

The following was taken directly from Website
Southwest Livestock Mineral Company
http://www.swlm.com/

"We blend for dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep,
goats (Boer, Milk, and angora) and swine.
Our custom minerals for domestic consumers
carry a consumption guarantee. We have
FDA clearances for many medications
including Bovatec®, Rumensin®, Rumatel®,
Mecadox®, Banmith®, Deccox®, and
several antibiotics."

Tests with animals have shown that by withholding certain
Added nutrients from their diets they forget tricks that they
had learned and usually could perform with no problem. In
both animals and humans, aging compounds the
problem of memory loss and retention - doesn't have to!
In the early 1950's large numbers of animals - cattle,
hogs, sheep, chickens and turkeys - began getting
diseases never before seen in animals, such as heart
disease, cancer, arthritis, etc. In most cases veterinary
scientists traced the cause to specific nutritional deficiencies.

Today all feed for animals have added nutrients to
eliminate a large portion of those illnesses and diseases
along with some not so good added chemicals in their
foods and body as you can see above.

Today the chemicals used on the farms and fed to the
cattle and sheep in the form of nutrients are taking its
toll on our bodies and minds. For what affects our mind
also controls our body and computers!

Has their predictions come to pass or what? We are a
society of big stomachs. 67% of the U. S. is suffering from
and dying from obesity and you thought it was your
entire fault. So even if you eat the very best food available
there still is a chance you would not be nourishing your
brain and body like you should.

I am not telling you this to depress you but to
inform you - I also hope to make you act - so that you
will make some right decisions for your body & brain's
health.

I take supplements daily to prevent that from happening to
me and being 65 years old my brain seems to be functioning
very well but wasn't a few years ago, prior to taking mineral
& Vitamin supplements.

Why do you think that all the Alzheimer's and senile dementia
is grossly being diagnosed so much more than 30 or 50
years ago?

One of the very first things on the list to do for yourself and your
brain is make sure you are getting good quality digestible liquid
minerals and vitamins! "With taking them I have noticed a big
improvement in my whole well being" - Knocked Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome right out of my system and did away with
25 years of chronic anemia.

Here is a LITTLE KNOWN SECRET The 1999 Physician's
Desk Reference (page 1542) shows that vitamins and
minerals in a PILL form are only 10% to 20% absorbed by the
body. DID YOU KNOW? That in 1998 Tacoma Washington alone,
250,000 pounds of undigested vitamin and mineral pills were
pulled out of the sewers every six weeks. In Salt Lake City,
over 150 gallons of vitamin and mineral pills show up in their
filters every month and numerous other cities sewer systems.
The reason being; high metallic content of these pills.
Metallic minerals like oyster shells, carbonates, oxides and
dolomites have the consistency of crushed up rocks, which
our bodies were not designed to digest. So even if you are
taking vitamins and minerals how sure are you that you are
absorbing sufficient amounts? The only way to know
absolutely is to make sure they are capsules, liquid or powder.

The only place left that contains the total mineral balance
That can regenerate the brain is the ocean and that could
be in danger due to the pollution!

7 Ways to Screw Up Your Life

1. Beat yourself up for every little mistake. Be sure
to constantly tell yourself that you're 'dumb", that
you're a failure, and that you'll never have anything.

3. Be a victim. Decide that you have no control, no
power. Complain. Blame everyone else for how
unhappy you are.

4. Live beyond your means, whatever means you
have. Don't plan for the future, don't have any
emergency money. Don't assume that Unexpected
Bill will arrive at any moment.

5. Dishonor yourself, your health, your body, your
mind. Eat junk food, watch junk TV, read junk print.
Lie to yourself.

6. Don't control your time. Procrastinate, so that
you're always running late, always rushed, always
harried and hassled.

7. Accept defeat. Give up on life. Decide to be
miserable the rest of your life. Yes, you have that
power.
