Chemistry’s Miraculous Colloids

A GROUP of executives sat tense and silent in an office in the RCA Building in New York City. They stared with incredulous eyes at a purple orchid. A short time, before it had been rescued from a pile of debris, a withered, yellowed thing, dead. Now the petals were fresh and crisp, its colors vivid. It was blooming with new life, and would continue to do so for 16 or 117 days!

Dr. Frederick S Macy, one of the country’s outstanding bacteriologists, had added a teaspoonful of an amber-tinted liquid to the quart of water in the bottle which held the flower. Here was striking indication of the mysteries that lie ahead in that comparatively unexplored realm of science known as colloidal chemistry. It was one of innumerable experiments these gentlemen had been witnessing for a year or more, on behalf of their internationally known pharmaceutical company.  A few days later they signed an 18-year contract for the rights to the solution similar to the one in Dr. Macy’s bottle. They will invest more than $2,000,000 a year in it from now on.

To gain a working conception of what colloidal chemistry is, consider that living tissues and organs are simply great masses of cells - billions of them. The energy, the very life-force of these cells, is obtained from certain minerals and metals, among them iron, iodine, manganese, copper. There are some 32, with traces of as many others, in the human body. Colloidal chemistry is the science which converts those elements into particles so minute that they can be utilized by living cells.

Normally, nature supplies the cells with these elements in their colloidal form. Science has now learned to produce these colloids in the laboratory. “Lately, life has been prolonged by colloid action,” says Dr. Macy, “ and better knowledge of the subject will certainly result in prolonging the normal term of existence.” In the case of the apparently dead orchid, copper in colloidal form was needed to restore the proper balance of the mineral and metals that comprised the life cells of the flower. Once that balance was restored, the cells began to function and the orchid lived again.

In the Colloidal Laboratories of America they have a motion picture which is as weird as anything ever shown on screen---- a movie of a headache. The actors are the nerves in the human head, magnified millions of times. You see the headache. Those nerve endings are tangled, twisting, writhing. Then you see the colloids enter. These rescuers, smaller than the blood corpuscles themselves, march straight to the spot where there is an unbalance of the vital metals. You see those laboratory- prepared colloids restore normalcy there at the seat of the trouble. Then you see the nerves cease their twisting, relax, and assume their proper position.

Dr. Steinmetz, the wizard of electricity, devised a method of utilizing colloids in the treatment of sinus trouble. The Bide-a-Wee Home, New York’s famous hospital for cats and dogs, can cure mange in three days, where it used to take three months. A large Midwestern city was freed from the scourge of goiter when colloidal iodine was added to the water supply. A famous institution for the treatment of alcoholism is experimenting with a colloidal solution which apparently not only overcomes the effects of excessive drinking but removes the craving for liquor as well. Such treatment consist of the introduction of metals- gold and iodine, in the case of alcoholism- which correct the unbalance caused by alcoholic poisons.

The effect of colloids is explainable in part by electric action. Sick and dead and broken-down cells are attracted to the colloids by elector-magnetic force, as iron filings are attracted to a magnet. The colloids carry those decayed or poisonous substances into the blood stream, and they are eliminated, the system, meanwhile adapting what it needs of the colloids.

A simple illustration will suggest the immense power that are unsealed. Suppose we have a cube of iron measuring an inch on each edge. The total surface would be six square inches. The electrical charge is on the surface: therefore, the greater the surface the greater the charge: and if we divide the cube of iron into smaller pieces we increase the surface areas. By colloidal chemistry that iron cube can be divided into smaller particles so minute that they are invisible, hence instead of six square inches of surface emanating electric energy, we have something like 127 acres. In colloidal form iodine, for example, is one of the elements essential to the well-being of human cells. Yet if you should drink as much as two or three grains of free iodine, it would kill you. Dr. Macy, when explaining this, held up an eight-ounce cup full of colloidal iodine. “ There,” he said, “is the equivalent of 740 grains of free iodine- enough to kill 300 men.” And he drank it . In that form iodine is not only harmless but beneficial. The same is true of arsenic and other deadly poisons.

Colloidal chemistry was evolved by David Graham, a British chemist , 50 years ago, but only recently has it been realized even by scientists what an enormous influence it is destined to have in medicine, agriculture, industry. “We have television now,” one of the world’s greatest scholars said recently. “ There is, as I see it, just one great development left for our time. That is in the understanding of colloidal metals. It is the ‘Fourth Estate of Matter,’ the other three being land, water, and air.” Says Dr. Macy: “ The study of these phenomena constitutes the road to the ultimate in human knowledge.”

ENSURE YOU SUPPLEMENT WITH CLARKS COLLOIDAL MINERALS

These are Verbatim Unabridged extracts from the 74th Congress 2nd Session:

“Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume.” “Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until depleted soils from which our food comes are brought into proper mineral balance?”

“The alarming fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables and grains) 

now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving us - no matter how much of them we eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach isn’t big enough to hold them.”

“The truth is that our foods vary enormously in value, and some of them aren’t worth eating as food.....Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume.”

“This talk about minerals is novel and quite startling. In fact, a realization of the importance of minerals in food is so new that the text books on nutritional dietetics contain very little about it. Nevertheless, it is something that concerns all of us, and the further we delve into it the more startling it becomes.”

“You’d think, wouldn’t you, that a carrot is a carrot - that one is about as good as another as far as nourishment is concerned? But it isn’t; one carrot may look and taste like another and yet be lacking in the particular mineral element which our system requires and which carrots are supposed to contain.”

“Laboratory test prove that the fruits, the vegetables, the grains, the eggs, and even the milk and the meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago (which doubtless explains why our forefathers thrived on a selection of foods that would starve us!)”

“No man today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his stomach with the mineral salts he requires for perfect health, because his stomach isn’t big enough to hold them! And we are turning into big stomachs.”

“No longer does a balanced and fully nourishing diet consist merely of so many calories or certain vitamins or fixed proportion of starches, proteins and carbohydrates. We know that our diets must contain in addition something like a score of minerals salts.”

“It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99% of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack of one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our lives.”

“We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for normal function of some special structure in the body. Disorder and disease result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body’s appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of minerals they have no function to perform.

“Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless.”

“Certainly our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories of vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein of carbohydrates we consume.

“This discovery is one of the latest and most important contributions of science to the problem of human health.”
