health crisis
Our immune systems are our most important defense against illness and disease. The second deadliest disease, cancer, is killing 1 out of 2 people today versus 1 out of 12, 50 years ago.
Our bodies have 60 trillion cells that replicate, divide & renew every 7 years (except for brain cells & certain nerve cells). We are a body of re-generation. When we feed the body the necessary nutritional building blocks, the miracle of the body will work. Of the 90 nutrients we need, 60 are minerals and the rest are essential fatty acids, essential amino acids and vitamins.
the solution
John Anderson found out early on that our food sources had become deficient in minerals. Forty-three bowls of spinach in 1997 were needed to equate to the iron content in one bowl of spinach in 1953. John made sure that all 60 minerals, in the form of ionic trace minerals, where included in all his products. Minerals need vitamins and vitamins need minerals for overall absorption.
In the 1950’s, a ban was put on DDT, so pesticides and herbicides were invented to kill living organisms. As farmers sprayed, the chemicals got into the topsoil and the earth. This started to kill the Eco-System as it took out micro-organisms and bacteria. Without them, there can be no transformation of rock based inorganic minerals into organic minerals since organic minerals dissolve in water, but rock does not. Organic minerals that are soluble, in water form, are the easiest for the body to absorb. John went with organic nutrients that came up from the plant kingdom for Isagenix.

highlights
1) Cleanse the body and flood the body with the nutritional building blocks
2) Provide a delivery system to ensure the break down of nutritional elements
3) Keep the food low in calories and sugar
