Higher Magnesium Intakes Linked with Reduced Colon Cancer Risk

People who consume more magnesium (Mg) may reduce their risk of developing colon cancer, according to a recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical of Nutrition. Researchers reviewed eight studies of almost 338,979 individuals of whom 8,000 were diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Through data analyses, scientists found that those with the highest intakes of Mg had an 11 percent reduced colorectal cancer risk versus those with the lowest levels of consumption. Specifically, higher Mg intakes were linked with a 19 percent reduced risk of colon cancer and a six percent risk of rectal cancer. Source: Chen GC, Pang Z, Liu QF.

Increase Your Mineral Knowledge with New MRI Videos

  Mg is an essential mineral, meaning it is essential to human health and no other mineral or vitamin can perform the critical functions Mg can. Mg is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, regulates heart rhythm and blood sugar levels, and is involved in energy production and utilization. To learn more about Mg, its role in health, and men’s and women’s daily average need, read MRI’s technical paper at: http://www.mineralresourcesint.com/docs/research/Seelig%20Mg%20Brochure.pdf?phpMyAdmin=2d45cdccf364c040257c6a71626b5a71. You can request a full-text version of the technical paper by e-mailing your request to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Anderson’s Concentrated Mineral Drops™, the authentic ionic mineral and trace mineral formula from Utah’s Great Salt Lake, is a rich, natural source of Mg. One drop of CMD contains approximately 7.33 mg of Mg. For a convenient and helpful guide to dosing with Anderson’s CMD, please visit http://www.mineralresourcesint.com/docs/AndersonsCMD_Dosing.pdf for a link to "Drop by Drop Good Health is Had by All" written by Marysa Anderson Cardwell.


Athletes Using MRI Electrolytes Create New World Records

The number (and range) of athletes who use MRI’s electrolyte formulas and create amazing new world records expands. Professional, marathondistance, mountain-bike racer, Sally Bigham of Topeak Ergon’s European team, finished the season with a 5th-place finish in Ornans, France. Sally, who used elete both during training and during her races to stay hydrated, is now ranked number one in the world! To read a profile about Sally, visit MRI’s elete web site, http://new.eletewater.com/uploads/athletes/SallyBigham.pdf. Long-distance marathon runner and 50-year old grandmother Mimi Anderson smashed the previous record for the 345-mile crossing on foot of Ireland by over 10 hours for a total time of 21:37:23.

The Laxative Effect of Minerals: The Hows and Whys

"Over the years of being in the mineral business, we have observed many very interesting things.  The number one complained about side effect from minerals is also, strangely, one of the most sought after benefits," writes Val John Anderson in a new article specifically about dosing with MRI’s minerals. "Learning how to manage it appropriately can make your experience in supplementing with MRI’s minerals more enjoyable and allow you increased health benefits. The higher the stores of nutrients in the body, the higher the osmolarity [the pull that one set of fluids will have toward another] will be for the body fluids, making that person more tolerant of a higher osmolarity of fluids being consumed." At MRI, we recommend that if a person is taking Anderson’s Concentrated Mineral Drops or CMD that they begin with a small dose.

Increase Your Mineral Knowledge with New MRI Videos, Podcasts

For distributors and consumers of MRI’s fine mineral supplements, we’ve added some great new videos and podcasts in the Media section of MRI’s web site. In two new videos, Val John Anderson, explains lifestyle dosing™, the practice of adding small amounts of minerals to one’s food and beverage throughout the day for optimal taste and mineral absorption, shows how easy it is to add MRI’s products, whether it is Anderson’s CMD, FortiSalt or elete Electrolyte Add-In, to ensure you’re getting optimal levels and a good balance of essential elements. We’ve also added an informative, new podcast (also available on iTunes), "Is Sodium Good or Bad for your Body?" in which Val Anderson discusses proper electrolyte balance and how it’s possible to improve the taste and nutrition of food without overdosing on sodium.

Here is one recent informative post: "Water needs minerals and is the perfect delivery system for minerals into the body. When you take all the bad stuff out of water, you end up taking out all of the good stuff as well. Completely pure water is actually acidic and hungry and will leach minerals from the body unless you add minerals back to it. CMD is an ideal way to re-mineralize purified water. 1 ml per gallon or 1/4 ml per liter is almost ideal having no fortaste and a sweet aftertaste. At this level, the water will be alkaline and have mineral levels comparable to the worlds’ best spring waters."

New Book by Rhonda Anderson Lauritzen Chronicles the Journey of the Anderson Family and the Natural Health Movement

Rhonda Anderson Lauritzen, the seventh child and only daughter of Hartley and Gaye Anderson, founders of Mineral Resources International, Inc. (MRI), has released a new book, Every Essential Element. Every Essential Element follows the couple’s personal and professional journey from the couple’s first meeting in small-town Utah in the 1950’s to their marriage, the births of their children, and the financial and emotional struggles of raising a large family on a limited income from a start-up company in a fringe industry. Through it all--poverty, disasters and joys--the book provides an inspiring message for today about how two people can make it in marriage, business, and life. The book vaulted to Amazon’s Top 100 of Kindle’s Drama Category the first two days of its release. A copy can be purchased online from Amazon ($13.95 paperback; $3.95 Kindle) at http://www.amazon.com/Every-Essential-Element-Rhonda-Lauritzen/dp/1938111001/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335723727&sr=8-1 MRI has also purchased several copies.

Olympic Athletes Offer Their Feedback of MRI’s CitriLyte Add-In
As summertime descends here in North America and we enter sports season, the fan base for elete CitriLyte Add-In continues to grow. Olympic Biathletes Tracy and Lanny Barnes had this to say about CitriLyte:
"Tracy and I love the CitriLyte! We can't stand the taste of thick sugary sports drinks, but CitriLyte from elete offers a nice crisp and refreshing taste and gives you the electrolytes you need to perform and feel your best. The CitriLyte comes in many different sized bottles so you can add CitriLyte to your water at home or on the go. With the amount of traveling we do, we love the convenience and size of the CitriLyte 25mL bottles that fit in just about anything."
