Angstrom-Sized Minerals
by David Wolfe

Why Angstrom Minerals?

Angstrom-sized mineral supplementation may dramatically increase the strength of the immune system, the endocrine system, the digestive system, the skin, and increase alertness, and the ability to focus.

Angstrom-sized minerals are 1,000,000 times smaller than colloidal minerals. Research done by the US military and the National Institute of Health (NIH) on angstrom-sized minerals began as far back as the 1950's, however this research was not made available to the public until now. US Government agencies have made efforts to keep this information away from public knowledge and access.

Angstrom-sized minerals are an enormous advancement in mineral technology. They represent a quantum leap in nutrition. Unlike bulky, difficult to absorb, colloidal minerals or mineral compounds (calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, copper glutinate, chromium picolinate, zinc picolinate, potassium sorbate, etc.) all of which clog up the system, angstrom-sized minerals are small enough so that they are nearly 100% assimilated by the human body. Angstrom-sized minerals are found in plants and are now available in angstrom-sized mineral supplements with distilled water.

Complete mineralization of all body tissues and organs is necessary for achieving optimal physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation. Because they are bound to hydrogen molecules, angstrom minerals are capable crossing the blood brain barrier and increasing neurotransmission and brain power.

The minerals in the angstrom form are more of a vibration than a solid object. This makes the quality of the water important as the water is a known carrier of vibration. The angstrom minerals we distribute are unique in the world as we put them in a pharmaceutical grade (7 times distilled) ultra-pure water. We recommend a sublingual (under the tongue) application of these minerals.

Angstrom minerals are created by using a pulse of energy similar to a laser beam that atomizes the mineral and puts it in suspension in water.

There is no proof of the safety or effectiveness of these minerals available to the public in print. Much of the evidence is anecdotal. What we do know is that people have taken very large doses of all the angstrom minerals without ill effect. Regular mineral supplements and colloidal minerals and water with a high count of total dissolved solids (TDS), cause an extracellular mineral build-up because the minerals cannot get into the cell. This may be why it appears that someone has a high mineral content, yet they are not healthy - the minerals are not getting into the cell.

It has been noted that iron build-up (hemochromatosis), copper build-up, silver build-up, and other colloidal or supplemental mineral overdoses have all been "reversed" with the use of angstrom minerals. Through some yet undiscovered mechanism, the angstrom mineral helps the body knock out the colloidal or chemical mineral from the extracellular space.

David Wolfe's Mineral Intake Program
All four phases are universal program that are designed to appeal to all body types, ethnic groups, blood groups, etc. These programs are to be used in conjunction with one's diet and supplement program. All of these minerals supercede other mineral supplements. Other mineral supplements may be discontinued with the exception of MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane) and Celtic Grey Mineral Sea Salt. As with anything, listen to your inner wisdom - if a mineral strongly disagrees with you or gives you a strong taste change under your tongue, discontinue its use. The exception to this rule is silver, which is a strong antibiotic that immediately kills anaerobic bacteria in the mouth causing an odd taste.

The differences between each program are based strictly on one's own daily discipline. As one becomes more disciplined and begins to eat less food, then one can advance from the Phase I: Alpha Program to the Phase II: Beta Program to the Phase III: Gamma Program to the Phase IV: Omega Program. Once one is comfortable with these minerals after months of use, one can redesign one's own program to suit what works best for the individual. There are no rules here, only tools and guidelines.

Instructions: Take one mineral at a time by the dropperful and hold it under the tongue (sublingual). Wait at least 60 seconds (or longer) before using the next mineral. You can swallow the minerals without any harmful effect, they are simply more effective when taken sublingually.

Angstrom-sized minerals in purified ionic water
Boron works well in conjunction with calcium for increased bone density and the prevention of osteoporosis. It assists us in retaining magnesium in the body, and it helps in the production of estrogen. It also strengthens the body's immune system and acts as an anti-inflammatory. Research indicates that boron causes blood levels of calcium, magnesium, and estrogen to rise in post-menopausal women.

Signs of a boron deficiency:
Arthritis, brittle bones, carpal tunnel syndrome, degenerative joint disease, hormonal imbalance, loss of libido, memory loss, muscle pain, osteoporosis, receding gums, weak cartilage.

Calcium relaxes muscles and the digestive system, builds bone, neutralizes acidity, exports toxins out of the cell and blood stream. Calcium works synergistically with magnesium. It should be taken in a ratio of 2 parts magnesium to 1 part calcium.

Signs of a calcium deficiency:
Acne, arthritis, acidosis, A.D.D., asthma, bell's palsy, cancer, carpal tunnel syndrome, cataracts, cavities, chronic fatigue syndrome, common cold, cramps, enlarged heart, fibromyalgia, gallstones, high cholesterol.

Chromium is closely associated with the pancreas, and therefore helps to alleviate symptoms of a hypoglycemic and/or diabetic condition by balancing the blood sugar. Chromium helps us to burn fat, build muscle mass, and properly metabolize calories. Chromium is zapped out of our bodies in our youth as a result of eating starchy demineralized foods and refined sugar. Most chromium deficiencies are chronic. It is the second most prevalent mineral deficiency in America after magnesium.

Signs of a chromium deficiency:
Anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.), aortic cholesterol plaque, arteriosclerosis, bi-polar disease, coronary blood vessel disease, depression, diabetes, high blood cholesterol, hyperinsulinism, hypoglycemia, hyperactivity, impaired growth, infertility/decreased sperm count, moodiness, obesity, pre-diabetes, peripheral neuropathy.

Cobalt Cobalt helps to relieve anemia, increases the production of red blood cells,
and works in tandem with sulfur to repair the myelin sheath. It also helps the body produce and synthesize glucose in the blood.

Signs of a cobalt deficiency:
Digestive disorders, fatigue, myelin sheath damage, nerve damage, pernicious anemia, poor circulation, slow or retarded growth rate.

Copper is a dewormer and destroyer of macro-parasites. Copper cleanses the lymphatic
system, assists with stimulating peristalsis, and strengthens the immune
system. Copper is usually found bound up in the vitamin C complex in plants. Food grown agriculturally in the western world today is deficient in copper. Copper is a very strong mineral and doses should be kept at 1 dropper (ml). Copper is antagonistic to zinc and molybdenum and should be done separately from them (preferably on the other side of the day).

Signs of deficiency:
Allergies, anemia, aneurysm, arthritis, dry brittle hair, edema, gulf war syndrome, hernias, high blood cholesterol, hyper- and hypo-thyroid, hair loss, heart disease, kawasaki disease, liver cirrhosis, osteoporosis, oppressed breathing, parasites, parkinson's disease, reduced glucose tolerance, ruptured disc, skin eruptions or sores, spleen insufficiency,varicose veins, weak immune system, white or gray hair, wrinkled skin, worms.

Germanium Protects the nucleus of the cell from viral and cancer damage. Protects the
valves that separate the five sections of the gasto-intestinal tract. Germanium is a rare trace mineral found primarily in mushrooms.

Signs of deficiency:
Asthma, cancer, cardiac insufficiency, DNA damage, gastro-intestinal disorders, hypertension, hepatic cirrhosis, leukemia, neuralgia, nephritis, neurotic disorders, softening of brain tissue, viral infections.

Gold is a mystical platinum-group mineral. It has the highest frequency of the platinum-group elements. Researchers are just beginning to understand the role of angstrom-sized gold in nutrition. It seems to have a wide-range of properties, including: calming the nervous system, increasing lucid dreaming, balancing the endocrine and glandular system, protecting the DNA from free radicals, cancer, and viral damage, increasing the strength of the immune system, and improving intelligence.

Signs of a gold deficiency:
Arthritis, brain dysfunction, chills, cancer, circulatory disorders, depression, digestive disorders, drug/alcohol addiction, gland dysfunction, heat flashes, insomnia, joint inflammation, night sweats, obesity, seasonal
affective disorder (SAD).

Indium is the most powerful of all trace minerals. Element #49 on the Periodic Table, it is midpoint between alkaline and acid metals, making it the most unique of all minerals. Research indicates that Indium helps to alleviate skin outbreaks, hormonal insufficiencies, endrocrine (glandular) system imbalances, empowers the platinum group elements (platinum, gold, silver, etc.) to protect and enhance the DNA. Indium works like creatine and stimulates lean muscle mass. It has been shown in studies with mice that indium greatly increases one's life-span, and overall mineralization. The mice that were given indium were 3-5 times more mineralized, and lived three times longer than the control group both groups were fed the same diet. Indium is not found in food in the United States.

Iodine is used by the thyroid to form thyroid hormone, which helps regulate the metabolism and the energy level of the body. It has the highest frequency of all of nature's essential minerals.

Signs of an iodine deficiency:
Cretinism, depression, frustration, goiter, hormonal imbalance, hyper- and hypo-thyroidism, lethargy, miscarriages, scaly or dry skin, sterility or infertility.

Iron is needed by red blood cells to pick up oxygen in the lungs and carry it into the tissues. Iron is vital in helping the blood eliminate potentially toxic substances or larger sized iron particles in the blood and tissues. Excellent to use during menstruation or other times of heavy blood loss.

Signs of an iron deficiency:
Anemia, anorexia, brittle nails, constipation, dizziness, depression, dysphasia, fatigue/lack of stamina, fragile bones, growth retardation, hair loss, headaches, pica, unnaturally pale skin.

Magnesium Relaxes muscles, builds bone, causes strong peristalsis, increases flexibility, increases alkalinity. Found at the center of the chlorophyll molecule, magnesium is the most deficient mineral in the cooked civilization diet. Magnesium, as a primary alkaline mineral, opens up over 300 different elimination pathways. Magnesium can be biologically transmutated into calcium.

Signs of deficiency:
Asthma, anorexia, calcification of organs, tissue, and small arteries, constipation, convulsions, cramps, depression, ECG changes, growth failure, headaches, hyperacidity, kidney stones, migraines, muscular weakness, muscle tremors, muscle tics, myocardial infarction, neuromuscular problems, osteoporosis, PMS, vertigo, wrinkles.

Manganese is an adrenal mineral, a brain mineral, and an oxygenator like iron. It aids memory and is needed to form hormones. Manganese works with selenium to rid the body of harmful fats and cholesterol.

Signs of a manganese deficiency:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, deafness, depression, gout, hearing problems, infertility, lack of concentration, loss of libido in both sexes, memory loss/mental confusion, miscarriages or stillbirths, multiple sclerosis, nerve disorders, PMS, poor muscle coordination, stunted growth, tinnitus, stiff tendons, stuttering, tremors.

Mineral of Life
Mineral of Life acts like an angstrom-sized sea salt, and helps the body produce enzymes. Mineral of Life is a blend of about 84 ancient sea bed minerals broken down into the angstrom size. Mineral of Life is not a blend of angstrom minerals (angstrom mineral blends should be left up to the creators of these minerals). If one haphazardly combines some of the angstrom minerals with each other in a bottle, they may come together forming bigger mineral particles and thus they become unusable - the clear minerals may go cloudy when combined. This is particularly true of silver when mixed with other angstrom minerals.

Mineral of Life is powerful and gives one a boost in the morning. To date, not much research has been done on it.

Molybdenum helps prevent premature aging, mobilizes iron from the liver reserves as needed, and aids in detoxifying the body. Molybdenum and zinc should be taken at the opposite end of the day from copper and sulfur.

Signs of a molybdenum deficiency:
Acne, AIDS, allergies, anemia, anthrax, asthma, athlete's foot, bell's palsy, bladder infection, cancer, candidiasis, canker sores, cavities, contrail/chemtrail exposure, colds/flu, depression, diabetes, e.coli, eczema, epstein barr, gout, gulf war syndrome, hepatitis C, herpes simplex, impotency, insomnia, liver damage, lupus, lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, obesity, parasites, prostate infection, ringworm.

Potassium is needed for the heart and the nerves, and is excellent for those with a history of a heart condition. It neutralizes muscle acids, and promotes quicker healing of cuts and wounds.

Signs 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, water retention.

Platinum is obviously one of the rare and mystical platinum-group elements that protect and energize the DNA. Platinum helps alertness and should be taken opposite gold; platinum in the morning as an energizer, and gold in the evening as a relaxant.

Signs of a platinum deficiency:
Back pain, cancer, chronic fatigue, gland dysfunction, headaches, insomnia, nerve damage, neuralgia, PMS, poor concentration.

Selenium is a powerful antioxidant. Research shows that it inhibits cancer rates by up to 42%, making it the most promising anti-cancer mineral (substance) yet discovered. Selenium protects the cell from cancer and viral damage. All food in the US has been deficient in selenium since the 1950s.

Signs of deficiency:
The entire US population is deficient in selenium. Some symptoms include age/liver spots, alzheimer's, anemia, cancer, cardiomyopathy, cirrhosis of the liver, cystic fibrosis, DNA damage, fatigue, fibromyalgia, heart disease, heart palpitations, AIDS, hot flashes, immune deficiencies, infertility, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, muscular weakness, pancreatic atrophy, parkinson's disease, premature aging, scoliosis, sickle cell anemia,
sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), viral infections.

Silver Destroys every known virus on contact. Destroys harmful fungus and bacteria
while keeping healthy tissue and good bacteria intact. Protects the nervous system from viruses and bacteria. Much has been written, discovered, and experienced about colloidal silver being the world's most powerful antibiotic. Angstrom silver is a million times smaller than colloidal silver and thus is more effective without side
effects (colloidal silver can get gummed up in the tissues and skin).

Signs of a silver deficiency:
Anthrax, athlete's foot, boils, candida, cerebro-spinal meningitis, colitis, cystitis, dermatitis, diphtheria, diplococcus, dysentry, e.coli, gonorrhea, impetigo, infection, influenza, intestinal trouble, pneumococci, ringworm, shingles, staphylococci, tuberculosis, warts, whooping cough.

Sulfur is the number one beauty mineral. It is the number one mineral in the skin, hair, nails, liver, and pancreas. Sulfur potentiates all other minerals allowing them to be absorbed and utilized more efficiently. Sulfur creates permeability. It works synergistically with vitamin C to create the super-protein collagen. Sulfur helps alleviate wrinkles, and skin damage, including scarring. Sulfur helps repair injured joints, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. Sulfur helps build sulfur-bearing amino acids which detoxify the liver, nourish the hair and skin, and build flexible muscle. Angstrom-sized sulfur is as or more biologically available than MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane). Sulfur is found in rainwater and in plants dependent on rainwater for survival. Many foods are grown agriculturally and in greenhouses and thus are deficient in sulfur.

Signs of deficiency:
Arthritis, asthma, acne, back pain, brittle hair, circulatory problems, connective tissue damage, constipation, dry skin, free radical damage, inflammation, infection, insulin/blood sugar challenges, leathery organs/tissue/skin, liver stagnation, liver disease, migraines, muscle pain, nerve disorders, poor skin quality, protein deficiency, scars, skin disorders, stress, urinary tract disorders, various muscle/skeletal disorders, weak nails, wrinkles.

Vanadium works in conjunction with chromium, balances blood sugar, and mimics insulin.

Signs of a vanadium deficiency:
Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, hyperinsulinism, hypoglycemia, infertility, metabolic dysfunction, obesity, pancreatic dysfunction.

Zinc eliminates body odor, helps protects the teeth, helps to eliminate bad breath, restores enzyme function of the immune system and skin, strongly fights viruses, protects the nervous system, and much more. Zinc is one of the most important trace minerals, perhaps second only to indium. All food in the US has been deficient in zinc since the 1950s. Zinc is antagonistic to copper and should done separately from copper (preferably on the other side of the day).

Signs of deficiency:
Angina, alzheimer's, anemia, anthrax, alcoholism, acne, anorexia &bulimia, bad breath, body odor, birth defects, cavities, chron's disease, chronic viral infections, depression, diabetes, down's syndrome, eye diseases, free radical damage, herpes, hypertension, hair loss, infertility, infection, loss of libido, loss of smell and taste, miscarriages, nerve damage, obesity, PMS, poor skin (acne), prostate cancer, still births, thyroid disorders, urinary tract infections, weak immune system.

Signs of an indium deficiency: Acne and hormonal imbalances.

Questions and Answers on Angstrom Minerals

How does one know if one is deficient in the minerals in the program?
Some ideas:

  1. Typically it is good to assume that all 21 minerals on the program are lacking (at least for the first three months).
  2. You can use kinesiology (muscle testing).
  3. You can tell by taste. If the mineral water tastes good, then continue. If it starts to give you strong taste changes or is averse to your taste sense, then withdraw. The exception to this rule is silver, which is a strong antibiotic that immediately kills anaerobic bacteria in the mouth causing an odd taste.

Is there a test available to determine this?

Some ideas:

  1. You can have an EAV test done (sometime called EDS or electrodermal screening) to determine this.
  2. You can have a hair mineral analysis done.

If Indium is not found in food, why is it necessary for our physiology?
It isn't necessary. Most trace minerals are not necessary in the sense that we would die without them. Indium, like other trace minerals, helps. The more available minerals that are present the stronger is the physiology, strength, endurance, enzyme production, digestion, brain power, and spiritual
connectedness.

Why is indium not present in food?
That is unknown, since it works so well in living cells. I believe it has to do with the cosmic origins of DNA.

Are there known allergies to these minerals?
None that we know of. That is just what we know from our research.

What are the sources of these minerals?
Each one is done in a different way. They all come from pure sources (in the sense that they are not contaminated with other minerals)

Are they assimilable? How do we know this? Have uptake studies been done?
The research that I have seen or heard on humans, thus far, is anecdotal. There are several doctors doing research at the moment. Animal studies are pretty conclusive on the effectiveness of these minerals (we do not prefer or promote animal studies however). These minerals have been being tested for about 12 years on large quantities of people and the original research done on them goes back to the 1950's.

The only way to know is to try them yourself and feel what they do.
None of the statements in this document have been reviewed by the FDA.
