The AHS Journal's being published this month will begin with an article from Bill on the crucial nature of digestive enzymes in our diet. This is an introduction to digestive enzymes, and will continue with more information about the subject, in future newsletters.
This is another one of those subjects of which Bill gets rather passionate. If the subject comes up in conversation while he is present, you will see him scan the vicinity for a Soapbox from which to deliver his message. Well, we do not have any soapboxes handy, but we have allowed him space in this newsletter.In addition, this month, we are pleased to have another article from Dr. Mark Force in regards to springtime being an appropriate time to cleanse the liver. His information hit home with me, and I now have to focus on this personally. We are grateful for Dr. Force's informative essays.
In May, we began a series of articles on "The Benefits of Herbal Medicine". The first article introduced information about the benefits of herbs. The following newsletters will explain more about the various uses of herbs, along with information regarding specific types. In this edition, the first segment on this topic summarizes the various forms of herbs. The second part is about herbal teas, and the last section directly addresses the herb St. John's Wort.
We recently received a kind note from one of our readers. She had a thoughtful observation about one of the May newsletters. She felt our herb article and silica article seemed to contradict each other.
Even though, the information on herbs stressed the importance of keeping active ingredients intact, she was concerned that we were advocating the opposite when stressing the importance of one specific, individual mineral - Silica.
For those of you who may have had similar concerns, we offer the following explanation:
Silica is an inorganic substance, much like calcium, iron and other minerals, and does not have "active" ingredients. It is not found in combination with enzymes, catalysts and other nutrients.
Our bodies do require a variety of minerals, and it would be great if a high quality, high absorption silica could be found in combination with other minerals, from the standpoint of convenience alone. However, it is not necessary in order to acquire benefit from Silica.
With that said, it is important to note that some minerals do work better in combination with others, such as calcium works better with magnesium present. Again, the focus needs to be on absorption and utilization, as is the case with quality brands of colloidol minerals.
In contrast, unaltered, unheated, and unprocessed organic substances (such as herbs and other foods) contain naturally present catalysts, enzymes, nutrients, and other active ingredients needed to help absorb the full spectrum of benefits that the food (or herb) supplies.
I would like to thank our reader for taking time to contact us. We truly appreciate the comments and suggestions we receive.
For your good health. . . .
