Nutrient
Function
Calcium
• Controls the contraction
part of the heart.
It
• is part of the 4 main
electrolytes.
• The calcium scan is

•
the best indicator of
prediction of heart
attacks. This is because
calcium acts as a
band-aid to heal the
arteries.
Doctors prescribe calcium
channel blockers to rid
the soft tissue calcium.
Excess soft tissue calcium
is a vitamin K2 deficiency.
Calcium is only absorbed
in a more acid medium
(which is why people who
have digestive problems
can’t absorb it)
Vitamin D increases the
absorption by 20x and
raises it in the blood.
Vitamin F also helps
absorbs calcium into the
tissues and skin

- leg cramps is the first sign
of low calcium
Where you get it
Calcium is the easiest
mineral to get. We need
1000mg and can be gotten
from vegetables and dairy.
The problem is not getting
enough dietary calcium, it’s
ensuring the body doesn’t
accumulate soft-tissue
calcium.
Nutrient
Potassium
Function
Potassium is the
physiological relaxer
and is involved in nerve
transmission, muscle
relaxation, electrolyte
balance (protecting
against fluid retention).

• You need 7-10 cups of
vegetables to get your

Magnesium
Magnesium is the major
electrolyte in the heart.
It controls the relaxation
phase of the heart beat
and muscles.
• Works closely with
potassium.

calcium channel blocker.

- If magnesium is low in the
soils, the plant cannot make
chlorophyll.
- Statins are made from
fluoride and thus deplete
magnesium
- Standard blood test rarely
detect deficiencies; use the
Magnesium RBC Test
deficiency can also
• Magnesium
occur from:
-Too much vitamin D
-Low stomach acids
-Too much calcium
-Too much potassium
• Most magnesium
supplements are only
absorbed by 20%.

K1 is a clotting vitamin.
However, there are 8
different types of K1 and
some parts are even
anti-clotting. It’s part of
the vitamin C complex.
• An average person
consumes 1000+mg
too much. Normal
requirements are 2000mg
and people consume
3500mg.
• Also consume sea salt – 1

for acne, sex organs,

Cholesterol
MYTH: It’s not the cholesterol that is the
problem; it’s the vitamin C deficiency
that causes a collagen breakdown in
the capillaries causing micro bleeding.
The cholesterol comes in AFTER as a
band-aid. But calcium also comes in
making the arteries stiff – increasing
High Blood Pressure
FACTS: your body makes 2000mg of
cholesterol daily (1 dozen eggs)
FACTS: Cholesterol is needed to make
stress hormones
FACTS: Good cholesterol is only the
cholesterol coming out of the liver and
bad cholesterol is cholesterol going
into the liver. As long as the good
cholesterol is high –then you have
exchange and you’re okay.
FACT: the real deeper reason why
• Flax oil, butter and fatty
fish oil.
• Also in sunflower oil.
too much vitamin D. Sun is
not dangerous IF you have
enough vitamin F.
Low F causes viruses to
come out of remission
(canker sores)
Low F in the presence of lots
of sun causes sun stroke, sun
burn.
cholesterol is high is the sugar carbs in
the diet.
FACT: if your cholesterol is high, you only
have a .1% chance of getting a heart
attack; not 100% rate – only risk (no
legal definition)
FACT: Normal cholesterol total used to be
225, by lowering it millions of people
were put on meds.
FACTS: WHO
192 countries:
Women who have cholesterol <177 had
a 98% higher death rate than women
who had 212.
Men who have cholesterol <177 had a 27%
higher death rate than 212

statins

Where you get it
• Avoid sugar and hidden
carbs
• Consume cholesterol
in food (eggs), which
will only increase good
cholesterol anyway.
It’s high in lecithin,
which is the antidote to
cholesterol.
Nutrient
Vitamin B4
Vitamin C
Function
Significance
B4 supports the
nerve conduction and
if deficient causes
fibrillation. It, also,
prevents dilation or
enlargement. If the
heart gets bigger, the
valves leak causing
regurgitation – murmurs.
B4 is naturally in whole grains, yet bleached flour products
will deplete vitamin B4.
You must avoid refined grains to keep your B4
Helps oxygen carrying
capacity and prevents
capillary bleeding
Vitamin C deficiency creates micro (small) hemorrhage in
the layers of the arteries. This creates an immune healing
reaction with the body’s natural band-aid – cholesterol and
calcium.
Where you get it
• Is present in many foods
•
•
Vitamin C comes in a complex and ascorbic acid is only
one part. Taking large doses of ascorbic acid will create a
deficiency of vitamin C complex.
• Is present in many foods
•
•
Synthetic
Vitamins
Natural is absorbed better,
in one study it showed
that it takes 3x more
synthetic to achieve the
results than natural.
Vitamin molecules come
in right and left hand
structure.
Natural vitamins come in whole complexes and are
made from at least 8 parts, synthetics are only one and in
very high amounts. In nature vitamins always come in
complexes.

if it’s natural the version
cost $800 per kg.
