		<description>Just love to read comments from people who THINK they know what they&#039;re talking about when in reality they are totally clueless! 

Perfect example: Dr. Nuke, the person talking about the product being &quot;radioactive&quot; and &quot;toxic.&quot; You evidently have no knowledge of or experience in chemistry! 

You obviously need to take a chemistry class and learn the difference between a substance in its elemental form versus the same substance in its ionic form…

One is water soluble, the other one isn’t. One form is toxic, the other isn’t. One form is good for you, the other isn’t. You are talking about substances on the label from plant sources that are in ionic form, not in their elemental form Einstein! What a dufus!

Those who take plant-derived colloidal minerals are often concerned by the fact that, when the manufacturers list the contents of the supplement, the names of heavy metals appear on the label. While this alarms many people, it shouldn’t. The fact is that true organic, plant-derived minerals do not contain heavy metals.

Organic, plant-derived minerals are able to be safely used by your body because of the fact that nature has acted upon them and transformed them into organic material rather than allowing them to remain in their elemental form. This is called organic transmutation.

A driving force behind this miraculous transformation is fulvic acid. The reason that labels list ‘heavy metals’ is that even once elemental minerals are transformed and stored within plants, they retain their original chemical names. 

Again, once an elemental mineral is reacted on by fulvic acid and photosynthesis, it is changed from inorganic to organic. This process is often called transmutation. As you would learn if reading  ‘Biological Transmutations,’ fulvic acid can actually transmutate magnesium and vegetal silica into a form of calcium that can be used by humans. The elemental vs. organic aspect of colloidal minerals is discussed further in Issue #305.

Fulvic acid is present in every true plant-derived, organic mineral. The same cannot be said for elemental minerals which are derived from rocks, shells, and certain clays. While elemental mineral supplements may claim to have a wide range of minerals, they cannot compare to the safety and availability of plant-derived substances. It should be noted that fulvic acid itself can contain as many as 60 different mineral compounds – this is above and beyond any other source of minerals with which it is joined.

As is discussed in “The Value of Organic, Plant-Derived Minerals” (Issue #305), when positively charged minerals are absorbed by plants, their bioelectrical polarity is changed to a negative charge. Whenever normally toxic minerals, such as iodine, are absorbed and transformed by plants, they become non-toxic. It may be the chelation factor that accounts for the ability of fulvic acid to neutralize the toxicity of heavy metals such as lead. The actual mechanism that fulvic acid uses to chelate minerals has yet to be ascertained. Although we know that this neutralization happens, the mechanics of the process are still one of nature’s secrets – a secret that we benefit from.

So Einstein, evidently you don’t eat any plants! Every doctor on the planet knows your body needs essential and trace minerals…the ingredients you show are essential and trace minerals in ionic form dufus!

Let me give you a great example and see if we can help educate you. 

Iodine…The human body needs Iodine. have you ever heard of someone with an iodine deficiency? Oh, wrong question to ask you! Of course you haven’t! You’re not a doctor or researcher-I forgot. Well, the human body needs iodine! In fact, it’s a required substance as a deficiency leads to swelling and malfunctioning of the Thyroid gland. It leads to goiter and in fact iodine deficiency is one of the, if not the, leading cause of mental retardation… 

Yet iodine in its elemental form is corrosive to the skin and toxic. What determines whether it is good or bad? The form it is in! Here, do yourself a favor and read:

http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Iodine

Here’s a link that explains the difference between minerals in their ionic form compared to elemental form! You obviously can’t even do a google search properly! LMAO.. 

http://www.advancedbio.com/ssfulvic.htm

Ok..I am going to go now…I am sure you’ll leave some kind of a retort attempting to save face and prove somehow that you know what you’re talking about…you obviously don’t, but you may get some straggler here who knows as much or less than you do who might think you’re a genius, but to those of us who actually have knowledge and experience in this area, we just chuckle…have a great day…</description>

		<description>Mike,
The type of sweetener that Vemma uses in Sugar Free Verve is sucralose (aka Splenda).  You can find answers to this and other Frequently Asked Questions at: &lt;a href=&quot;http://vforenergy.com/verve-faqs/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://vforenergy.com/verve-faqs/&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Ummm... does anyone realize that this list of ingredients consists of only elements of the periodic table of the elements... I&#039;m taking a chem class right now and that list of &quot;ingredients&quot; is defiantly a formula, not a recipe.</description>

		<description>in reference to the reference to the minerals in Vemma/Verve, this is what you need to know-
The minerals in Vemma are plant derived minerals not synthetically derived. This is very important. Minerals extracted from plants are water soluble. For example, aluminum in the elemental form can cause Alzheimer disease. Aluminum in the ionic form, such as aluminum hydroxide or aluminum silica, are the same aluminum in an apple. 

Elemental minerals build up toxicity and plant derived ionic minerals are water soluble. Plant derived ionic minerals are the minerals that your body needs.  These plant derived ionic minerals will naturally flush from your body and are good for you.

		<description>The Verve Energy Shot launch is approaching. I am looking forward to it.  Ozlat is right ... a very healthy alternative. A great business opportunity for those interested.  More info available at my site.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s great to see that Verve is a healthy alternative... but it&#039;s even better knowing that people can also access it both in the stores and via network marketing.

P.S. Talk is around town that there is a Verve Energy Shot about to be released... and it&#039;s taking hybrid marketing to the next level !!</description>

		<description>A little bird told me that Verve will be sold in stores mostly in North New Jersey starting in a month or so. Look for it in convenience stores, gyms, mom and pop stores, bars and other establishments.</description>
