I just received an e-mail asking me . . . "Are minerals dead?" Here was my answer:

"Instead of building on a basic fact of natural science from our earliest teachings in life, the world wants to throw all the basics out and create their own thinking. But, let's go back to our basic teachings from high school biology.

Minerals exist in all three kingdoms; Mineral Kingdom, Plant Kingdom, and the Animal Kingdom. The Mineral Kingdom was first created to support the Plant Kingdom. In other words, ONLY the Plant Kingdom was created to grow and extract/transform the dead, non-living, in-organic minerals * (footnote) from the Mineral Kingdom into living, organic form that we call the Plant Kingdom. THEN, the Plant Kingdom can support the Animal Kingdom with living, organic form of nutrient (minerals).

Do you see how God created these 3 kingdoms in order? They were created in order for a purpose. Each kingdom supports the next. However, we can't buck the system by skipping the Plant Kingdom and going right to the Mineral Kingdom for our nutrients. Otherwise, we could eat dirt and survive. But we can't do that. We have to get our usable form of nutrient through the NATURAL processes of the order in which things were created.

Example: Sodium Chloride is found in the Mineral Kingdom. The Plant Kingdom can grow in the soil (Mineral Kingdom) and transform the dead, non-living, in-organic form of Sodium Chloride into a living, organic form that is now usable by the Animal Kingdom. Yes, Sodium Chloride is found in plants. And when we consume food from the Plant Kingdom, it nourishes our body and you can find this nutrient throughout the Animal Kingdom. Finally, when animals die, they go back to the dust, the Mineral Kingdom where the cycle begins all over begin thereby perpetuating life on earth.


Does this make sense?

How does this apply to herbology? I do not use mineral/vitamin pills. All the nutrients (minerals) I need I get from the plant kingdom which is herbology. In herbology, the minerals/nutrients are in a viable, living, organic form which feeds the body so that it will heal itself. When using dead, inorganic, non-living minerals from the Mineral Kingdom, these minerals will manipulate and relieve symptoms, but they can't give the body the needed living, organic minerals to heal itself. I've discovered this time and time again through 39 years of herbology.

* (footnote) The use of the word "in-organic" and "organic" has two applications. The first is when we use the word "organic" to apply to any element as having a carbon atom in it. The other meaning is when an item is in a form that will nourish and feed the body from either the plant kingdom or the animal kingdom. It's the latter to which I'm referring.
