This article is formulated to provide you with a view of the interdependence that exists between all life forms on planet earth and the key benefits that organically complexed minerals provide over any other mineral form. Microbial life, in the form of single-celled organisms, creates the complex from plant matter. Plants are the most efficient life form in capturing and storing solar energy via the process of photosynthesis. The organic mineral complex is thus a form of synthesized solar energy.
The Link
There is a link between microbes, plants insects, vertebrates and invertebrates, and there is common ground among all these life forms. All of them are composed of cells, and the basic building blocks within these cells are the same whether it is a microbe, plant, animal or human. Each species is capable of producing its own characteristic assortment of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, hormones and other metabolic building blocks within their cells. Plants and some microbes are unique in that they contain chlorophyll and can conduct photosynthesis within their cells, converting solar energy into chemical energy. Some organisms can produce all of the essential amino acids internally within their cells. We humans can produce all but eight of the amino acids within our cells. We can only produce one vitamin within our cells while other animals can produce many vitamins within theirs. The one thing we all have in common is that the cells of all living organisms require the same minerals, vitamins, amino acids ant other nutrients to carry out their life functions. As far as nourishment is concerned, we are all interdependent. It is because of this common nourishment we eat the tissues of plants and animals in a correct balance we obtain from the cells we ingest the exact metabolic building blocks we need for our own cells.
The Role
Now let us review the important role of microbes. It is estimated that the combined weight of microbial cells on spaceship earth is about 25 times that of earth’s other animal life. While their individual size is incredibly small, one cubic inch of pure typical bacteria would contain over 9 trillion microorganisms.
To appreciate the powerful potential action of microbes in fertile soil, consider this fact. Microorganism activity in 1 acre of soil uses about the same amount of energy in soil preparation, as 10,000 people would burn in the same period of time.

Research
Research from a variety of sources has established conclusively that we will either live in harmony with microbial life forms, as they can assist us in our agricultural practices, or we will vanish with those societies that ignored those realities. Bio-intensive agricultural practices that work in harmony with microbial life date back as far as 4,000 years, and every society which has sustained its health for periods of over 400 years have practiced bio-intensive methods.
In recent years, western society has introduced a short cut to bio-intensive methods. That shortcut was the introduction of commercially produced nitrogen, phosphates, and potassium onto our agricultural lands. Formerly these basic ingredients were supplied within the structure of organic mineral complexes, which the microbes produced from crop and animal residues. This required a careful approach to agriculture in which building soil fertility was as important as crop production.
The added advantage of providing these essential nutrients from humic material was that the humic material also contained a vast storehouse of other nutrients, minerals, trace elements, and additional complexes, which contributed to the health of the plants as much as to higher yields. The chemical diet we have been providing our plants in western agriculture has robbed our soils 7 to 80 times faster than nature is replenishing them. When soil microbes are not fed their action stops. Microbial life forms simply go into dormancy when there is no food stock available to them.
Our farm produce today very likely contains less than 10% of the potential nutrients, which could have been within the cellular structure of our foods. We have maintained our life expectancy with chemical supplementation and drug support, but the health of our citizens in advanced western societies is now running behind underdeveloped countries.
Western society’s shortcut to high agricultural production only proves there is no shortcut and we cannot fool Mother Nature. Possibly one of the greatest challenges Western Society faces today is the challenge to correct the damage we have inflicted on our soils and foods. This will require a tremendous change of direction and the skill and thinking of our best minds. The challenge has been recognized by many among us. Their efforts, though small, have begun. A great deal depends upon the success of these efforts.
For most of the century in the United States, we have continually depleted our soils. During this period, the foods produced from these soils have also been steadily depleted of the organic mineral complexes, which were not available to the plants. It is interesting to note that the complications and decline of health in our country has followed a curve matching our agricultural error.
Our scientific knowledge has recognized the need of some basic nutritional nutrients and we have added chemical supplementation to our foods with synthetic vitamins and minerals, but we must ask ourselves if this is not far less healthful than the nutritional organic mineral complexes nature could have provided.

Our general health is probably the answer to this question. Dr. Roger J. Williams, who is credited with the discovery of the vitamins pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5) and folic acid, remind us that there are many nutritional needs which differ slightly for each genetically distinctive individual and so many possible levels to supply these nutrients to so many different kinds of cells within our bodies, that no matter how or what we eat, our nutrition is always capable of improvement. He emphasized that even in developed countries, most of us live with nutrition that is far less than optimal, and we are unaware of the vast difference good nutrition could make in our lives. The organic mineral complex is one of these nutritional supplements that can make a vast difference.
Fortunately, nature has left us with abundant organic mineral complexes deposits formed by microbes from plant matter, which grew in fertile conditions at earlier periods of earth’s history. The extraction of this complex requires great care and skill when it is to be used in human nutrition. Dr. Halliday has secured a safe, totally unique and proprietary extraction of the organic mineral complex.
The residue food stock which microbe’s complex into the organic minerals are from original plant formed solar energy. The microbes transform these remnants of solar energy into useful bite-sized energy packets for other living cells. These complexes have sometimes been defined by scientists as organic humic complexes.
These complexes vary in size with the more active of the complexes usually below a molecular weight of 700 and containing more oxygen, less carbon, and soluble in all pH ranges. The smaller and more active molecular size organic material complexes are of the greatest importance to all plant and animal life. They contain organically complexed minerals and trace elements in the most digestible form available in nature for all living cells. These condensed metabolic building blocks were formed within the cells of microbes. The living cell is a unique biochemical laboratory where a tremendous number of chemical reactions take place and where these beneficial organic compounds are manufactured.
The organic mineral complexes that the microbes form include phytochemicals, phytonutrients, and other innumerable nutritional and nutrient factors. We will evaluate these beneficial factors within the complex further but we can emphasize that these factors contain a vast spectrum of essential metabolic building blocks. They are key to the life functions of plants and animals alike and the most usable form of minerals our body can use. This organic mineral complex is only available in food cells of foods grown in 100% fertile soil or from an extraction of humic material that is capable of isolating the pure complex. Many manufacturers attempt to extract the complex from humic material with water, or water combined with chemicals (acids or alkalines).

All these extractions can yield potentially harmful compounds along with the complex. These compounds characteristically have a harsh unpleasant metallic taste. The extraction of a pure form of the organic mineral complex is a technology exclusive only to Dr. Halliday.
Let us first review the nature of the organic mineral complex. We must first establish that this complex cannot be synthetically produced. It is often noted that organic mineral complex substances are compounds with heterogeneous nonomers and heterogeneous kinds of linkages formed by random events. Because of this, it is impossible to define or reproduce this structure or to determine an exact structural formula to allow synthetic replication.
The complex the microbes form during humifcation is one of the miracles of nature akin to photosynthesis. Not only is it impossible to duplicate the complex, but it is very diverse. Samples of organic mineral complexes are believed to consist of collections of macromolecular fractions including various ranges of molar mass. The molar mass range not only indicates the poly-disperse nature of organic mineral complexes, but it also reflects the marked changes in molecular size that occur with pH variation, ionic strength, and sample concentration.
This very diverse organic compound plays a gigantic role in life processes on earth. The organic mineral complex has a strong affinity for water, is completely soluble in water at any pH above 1, displays a polyelectrolytic (see definition of polyelectrolyte from University of Mississippi Polymer Science Institute) character in water solution, and is chemically and physiochemically active. It demonstrates distinct mineral complexing abilities. With these characteristics, the complexes assist in mobilization, transport, bioavailability (refer to Science Magazine on more efficient drug delivery system) biochemical cycling, and electrolytical balance of multiple nutrients within living systems.
Because of the nature of the complex, it can reach out beyond its own organic structure and pull inorganic into that structure. The unique composition of organic mineral complex, though not completely understood, allows the complex to participate in reactions with both organic and inorganic compounds.
Finally, as we review the nature of the complex, we note it is the strongest organic electrolyte on earth. The electrical charge within the functional groups in the organic mineral complex is substantially higher than in any other naturally occurring organic polyelectrolyte. An organic chemistry analysis of a well characterized organic mineral complex reveals that it contains a mixture of phenol-carboxylate polyelectryolytes. This configuration exists because of the subtle competition effect that arises between cations as they are occupying the site where the polyelectrolyte mixture exists. Researchers Schnitzer and Kahn attested that the organic mineral complex consist in part of phenolic and benzenecarboxylic structures held together through hydrogen bonds to form a polymeric structure of considerable stability.

By reviewing these characteristics of the complex, we can better understand why the complex provides such a wide range of benefits.
We will next review some of the important contents that are within the structure of the organic mineral complex. As we would expect, the complex contains the fundamental metabolic building blocks required by all cells. The complex contains significant quantities of nitrogen, including amino acids, the most nitrogenous substances in living organisms.
The complex contains significant amounts of oxygen that enables the complex to readily uptake other minerals. The major component of organic mineral complex is carbon. The oxygen containing functional groups of the complex tends to increase its metal chelation ability.
The term "chelation" used here is in reference to the chemical bonding of minerals and elements within the complex. A representative sample of the organic mineral complex will typically contain over 75 other elements. The major minerals we need most in nutrition make up the major proportion of these elements. The chelation by chemical bonding ability of the complex allows it to bond with minerals and nutrients it may be exposed to in various stages of digestion, such as the stomach. Here the complex can chelate with other essential minerals of nutrients and help transport these nutrients into the cell. This process increases the bodies’ ability to help transport these nutrients from food, nutritional supplements, water or sport drinks.
In addition to the complexes capacity to contain and deliver to the cells the essential minerals in a organically complexed form to assist vitamin assimilation, enzyme production, and provides key building blocks for cellular metabolism and development, the complex also carries other trace nutrients. These nutrients in very low concentrations include coenzymes, vitamins, auxins, plant hormones, and very low traces of antibiotics. The complex also picks up valuable phytonutrients and phytochemicals common to the plant structure from which they were formulated. Thus the complex contains a wide assortment of ingredients essential for and contributing to the nutrient needs and functions of the body.
We will now focus our review on identifying the benefits, which are common to the organic mineral complex. The complex provides multiple benefits to cellular metabolism. We will provide a representation of some of these major benefits.
Researchers have discovered that the complex when present within cellular tissues increase cellular permeability allowing for higher uptake of available nutrients.
The complex has been found to assist in the formation of RNA and DNA. As this function is crucial to cellular replication and genetic stability and health, it is a vital benefit.
The complex increases enzyme activity. As all cellular cold chemistry processes function with the influence of enzymes, increased enzyme activity results in improved cellular health.

The mechanism of many of the complex’s chelating ability through complexation reactions removes or remediates toxins such as heavy metals from body cells and tissues. This remediation can manifest by both polymerization and depolymerization. Both functions being characteristic of the complex when it comes into contact with various toxic compounds or elements. Quite simply, the depolymerization processes simply the chemical components of a toxin into simpler harmless fractions. In the polymerization process, the complex absorbs the toxin within its larger chemical structure where the toxin has no contact with any outside environment.
Again, a dramatic demonstration of this capability can be immediately observed by the topical application of the complex to the skin following and insect or spider bite, or exposure to organic poisons such as poison ivy. The toxins or irritants are immediately neutralized and the discomfort, redness, or pain quickly subsides. The capability of the complex as it applies to all earth life can by very significant. The chemical structure of the complex empowers it with the ability to neutralize toxic herbicides and pesticides, harmful hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and radioactive pollution or exposure. The complex has probably been the most active solution in nature in protecting earth life from the effects of all forms of pollutants and poisons. The remarkable opportunity we have is to daily supplement with the complex for our personal protection against the threats of toxins, pollutants, and poisons we face in our modern environment.
One of the most powerful and beneficial effects of the complex is that of an electrolyte. The functions within our body and within our cells are electrical and this complex provides an electrolyte that matches those electrical needs. The diverse nature of the chemical structure of the complex allows it to act as both a donor and acceptor for various electrical needs within the cell or body tissues. When electrical potential can be restored to cells under stress to injury, disease, excessive exertion or malnourishment it can speed recovery, healing, and normal health.
The unique structure of the complex providing electrical balance. The ability of the complex to restore balance is especially evident when the complex is applied topically to the skin immediately following a burn. The dramatic recovery of the skin cells appears almost miraculous. The technical description of the complex’s versatile capabilities and abundant electrical potential help us understand this reaction. The complex is itself a mixture of complex properties of the complex may be represented by variations of complexing functions including the following specific features.
-
Polyfuntionality: Each macromolecule includes many complexing sites of different nature, and within the complexant the individual molecules are similar but not identical. The variation of makeup allows a variety of possible reaction, sometimes as a donor, sometimes as an acceptor, or in some cases alternating to assist balance.
-
Polyelectrolyte nature: Most complexing sits have acid-base properties. Each complexing molecule contains a large number of these possible sites, while all of the molecules bear a large number of electric charges. The total electric charge for each site depends on pH and the degree of site occupation by metals or elements.
The complex has been found to assist in relieving oxygen deficiencies in multiple ways most if not all cancers the cells are in an anaerobic environment; there is not enough oxygen in the cell. When present in trace amounts, the complex increases the oxygen consumption of cell tissues. The presence of carbon complex quinone groups are typically good hydrogen acceptors and oxygen activators. The complex also contains polyphenols which act as catalyst to respiration. Thus the complex provides at the cellular level a great aid to increased ultization of life giving oxygen within our cells.

The complex aids in multiple ways when we approach the function of free radicals. First we must state that not all free radicals are bad. Free radicals produced by the immune system destroy viruses and bacteria. Other free radicals produce vital hormones and activating enzymes essential for life to produce energy and provide other substances, which the body requires. Again the versatile structure of the complex comes into play in dealing with free radicals. Many of the strongest anti-oxidants are found within the complex. The complex also provides many of the positive free radicals essential to life functions. The complex by its origin and makeup contains natural or indigenous organic structural components involving unpaired electrons, or free radicals. These unpaired electrons are responsible for the multiple functions within the bodies metabolic function including:
1: Participation in one-electron chemical reactions.
2: Biological redox (reduced oxygen) reactions.
3: Formation of electron donor-acceptor-complexes within the
digestive and cellular functions.
4: Redox and/or complexation interactions with some mineral
ions including association with enzymes formation and function.
