Relative Abundance of the ORMUS Elements

by Barry Carter

You can find a list of elements found in sea water at:

http://www.seafriends.org.nz/oceano/seawater.htm

Notice that most of the ORMUS elements are not detectable in sea water using ordinary spectroscopic assay methods. Particularly notice that two of the most common ORMUS elements in sea water are not detected at all. Repeated physical property assays on sea water from various places on the US Pacific coast show that the ORMUS mineral elements vary between 1200 parts per million and 500 parts per million in ocean water. This puts them below the most common mineral in the ocean (magnesium) and above the fifth most common mineral in the ocean (bromine). Here is a list of the five most common minerals in ocean water:

Element PPM

Magnesium Mg 1290

Sulfur S 904

Calcium Ca 411

Potassium K 392

Bromine Br 67.3

Carbon C 28

Furthermore, nutritionists have long known that most so called "toxic elements" are toxic above certain levels but appear to be essential minerals below these levels. Chlorine, which makes up .25 percent of the human body, is so toxic that it is used to kill organisms in municipal water at higher levels. Even arsenic has been found to be essential for certain biological processes. The value or harm of any mineral depends on its relative concentration. Even water will kill you if you drink too much of it.

Ocean water has been used as a substitute for blood plasma for over a hundred years. This works because the balance of minerals in ocean water is very similar to the balance of minerals in blood. You can read more about this at:

Chemists working for David Hudson (who discovered and patented the ORMUS minerals) determined that ORMUS rhodium and iridium made up 5 percent of the dry matter weight of cow and pig brain tissue. You can also find a list of the ORMUS mineral content of various plants at:

Nothing beats home made compost! You don't have to buy anything new.

This statement is based on a presumption that has been demonstrated to be false. If you compost food that was raised on mineral depleted soil, the compost will also be mineral deficient. This is also true of organic food that was grown elsewhere since the minerals in that farmer's soil have been depleted by the simple act of sending them elsewhere in the food that farmer sells. Also, most newer organic suppliers are growing food on land that has previously been used for conventional agriculture. Most farmers, even organic farmers, till their soil. This disrupts the life cycles of the mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria that dissolve minerals in the soil so that they can be made available to plants.

The decline of minerals in our food has been well documented. See:

http://www.nutritionsecurity.org/PDF/Food%20Nutrition%20Decline.pdf

This is despite the fact that most of these ordinary minerals are typically added to agricultural soils because farmers are aware of this depletion. Now, imagine what kind of depletion of the ORMUS minerals (which farmers are not aware of) might have taken place in the same time period.

There is some evidence that the minerals in our foods have been decreasing with the rise of commercial agriculture.

Here is a table showing the Decline in Mineral Content of One Medium Apple from:

http://www.nutritionsecurity.org/PDF/Food%20Nutrition%20Decline.pdf

Mineral 1914 1963 1992 %Change (1914-1992)

Calcium 13.5mg 7.0mg 7.0mg -48.15

Phosphorus 45.2mg 10.0mg 7.0mg -84.51

Iron 4.6mg 0.3mg 0.18mg - 96.09

Potassium 117.0mg 110.0mg 115.0mg -1.71

Magnesium 28.9mg 8.0mg 5.0mg -82.70

All of the minerals listed above have been known to agricultural scientists for a long time. They are regularly measured and are often added to agricultural land as mineral supplements. Despite this, they have still suffered serious decline in the food that we eat. Even organically grown produce has suffered similar declines.

Now, try to imagine the magnitude of decline in the ORMUS minerals in our food. Since these minerals are still not known to most agricultural scientists they are not typically added as mineral supplements to the soil. Nor are they enhanced in the vitamin and mineral supplements we consume. If sufficient amounts of the ORMUS minerals do not get into the body in the first place, I would not expect them to be eliminated in the urine.

Add to this the many things we do in agriculture that might tend to deplete the ORMUS minerals from plants and the soil. Also add the things we do to our food and our bodies that also might deplete the ORMUS minerals and you can see how these minerals might not precipitate from the urine of less healthy persons.

We should also factor in the different physical properties of these elements to get a more accurate idea of how they might work in and through the body. In one of his newsletters, David Hudson wrote:

In the stomach, one of the main acids produced during digestion is hydrochloric acid. We know from our previous research that Osmium, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium and to some degree, Platinum are all dissolvable with hydrochloric acid. Therefore, they would most likely be primarily digestible and absorbable into the natural digestive system. We have found, however, that Iridium and Gold in the ORME state are virtually insoluble in hydrochloric acid and therefore, would not be absorbable during the natural digestive process.

This physical property may be a factor which changes the amount of m-iridium and m-gold that shows up in the urine tests that Hudson alluded to in his lectures. It is clear that Hudson's chemists knew how to identify iridium and rhodium in plant and animal tissues. You can see some of these test results that Hudson passed out at several of his lectures at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/health/sources.htm

Notice that the only ORMUS elements mentioned in this report are rhodium and iridium. This begs the question "were the other ORMUS elements even tested for"?

In his lectures Hudson claimed that the ORMUS forms of the various transition elements were present in his ore at approximately 7.6% of the total weight of the ore. This 7.6% portion was further broken down as follows:

rhodium 49.36%

iridium 32.91%

ruthenium 10.28%

osmium 6.17%

platinum 0.53%

gold 0.49%

palladium 0.25%

Notice that rhodium and iridium are by far the most abundant ORMUS minerals in Hudson's ore. Together they make up over 82% of the total. Gold is less than half a percent. Perhaps this is why Hudson's chemists did not check for gold in their plant tissue tests.

All of this raises other questions about how to identify the various ORMUS elements in urine or any other source material. Many of the identification procedures described in David Hudson's patent have not been replicated by anyone who is willing to publish their results where they are publicly available. Some of these identification procedures are very expensive or take a very long time.

In April of 1998 I posted a note to the WhiteGold list in which I suggested a way to use some stated physical properties of the ORMUS elements to isolate and identify them. Here is the germane portion of that post:

David Hudson says, "The neat thing about gold, as compared to the other elements, is that gold can be purified by distillation. At 450 degrees elemental gold will resonance disconnect from itself and will go over as a gas and be re-condensed over here and be caught as white powder again. And so you can purify it, back and forth, by repeated distillation, and get a very high purity substance."

"It's called the "white dew", the "white condensate", "the white dove" or it's depicted as a white feather in the alchemical texts. Because that's the way it was purified as a volatile material. Okay? All of the symbols of being fed by a dove, or receiving the white dove, is always an alchemical symbol. When we find, as the rabbi told me, that this knowledge was kept by the Hebrews until the destruction of the first temple."

Other researchers have noted that the vaporization temperature of dry m-state gold is 425 degrees Celsius and that the vaporization temperature of dry m-state rhodium is 900 degrees Celsius. The m-state iridium volatilizes at 5400 degrees Celsius. These vaporization temperatures have not been independently verified.

A parting process for the various m-state elements could be devised using this information and the information from Hudson's recent newsletter. Hudson wrote, "We know from our previous research that Osmium, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium and to some degree, Platinum are all dissolvable with hydrochloric acid. Therefore, they would most likely be primarily digestible and absorbable into the natural digestive system. We have found, however, that Iridium and Gold in the ORME state are virtually insoluble in hydrochloric acid and therefore, would not be absorbable during the natural digestive process."

If you take the dry powder form of Hudson's ORME elements and boil them in 35% HCl till half of the liquid has boiled away, Osmium, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium and to some degree, Platinum should go into solution in the acid. The remaining precipitate in the acid should consist of gold and iridium with some platinum.

If you have mixed m-state elements like those produced from ocean water, you should be able to take the dry powder resulting from the second method described under "HOW TO PURIFY YOUR PRECIPITATE" in the ORMUS paper and use the two separation processes described above to isolate the gold, rhodium and iridium m-state elements. To my knowledge, no one has combined these two separation techniques.

I never tried this identification method but, in October of 2001, Arthur Zeigler (who makes the Liquid-Chi and Sea-Crop products) posted a working version, of the method I suggested above, to the ORMUS SWG forum. That same month I put this method on my web site at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/wm-assay.htm

Using this identification method (and confirming his results using partial metal conversion and spectroscopy) Arthur was able to consistently identify the following amounts of the top three ORMUS elements in his sea water products:

M-Rh (Rhodium) 64%

M-Ir (Iridium) 22%

M-Au (Gold) 14%

In several tests over several years time this ratio was fairly consistent though the ORMUS portion varied from 20% to 40% of the total dry matter weight of the precipitate.

So, how can we be sure that we are getting a good ratio of the essential ORMUS minerals in our diet? Most of us are not set up to do the tests that Arthur or David Hudson's chemists did to identify the ORMUS elements in natural source materials. Most of us would even find it difficult to test for the calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium and potassium in an apple.

What we can do is notice and document the changes in our plants after we apply ORMUS minerals. How does the taste change? Do they grow bigger, faster? Are they more or less resistant to bugs? These are changes that one can even document with house plants on the window sill. For example you could plant wheat grass in four trays using the same composted soil in each. You could pee in one, use urine precipitate in the next and use sea water precipitate in the third leaving the fourth as your control. Compare how they grow and taste.

This morning I did some weeding in my garden. It was a grey day but still turned out to be a grade A, great day! As I pulled the weeds, I noticed that my favorite weed had changed. The weed I disliked pulling the most, button weed, has become my favorite weed to pull. You can see a picture I took a button weed in the ground at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/buttonweed01.jpg

Today I pulled a button weed, with a root that was nearly a foot long, with very little effort:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/buttonweed02.jpg

The reason it pulled so easily is because the soil has become very "soft" after using ORMUS on it for three or four years. When I walk on this soil it feels like I am walking on a foam mattress.

Each button weed I pulled revealed three or four earthworms in the disturbed soil around it. This is more earthworms than I have ever seen in my garden. These earthworms digest the organic waste in the soil and till it up making it "fluffy" like a foam mattress. There were so many earthworms in my garden that it reminded me of the earthworms hanging from Steven's compost trays in the video I took on March 23 in Salt Lake City:

You can find some more helpful hints for documenting the effects of various ORMUS sources at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/documenting.htm

ORMUS is defined as a newly discovered state of matter and those elements which naturally occur in this state of matter.

In grade school I learned that science generally recognizes four states or phases of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma. In 1989 David Hudson patented a fifth state of matter that he called ORMEs. Hudson's research demonstrated that ten transition metals naturally existed in this state.

David Hudson, and other scientists working with him, discovered that two of the transition elements in the ORMUS state made up five percent of the dry matter weight of cow and pig brain tissue. For comparison, the most common ordinary mineral in the human body - calcium - is only about 3% of the dry matter weight of the body.

This suggests that the ORMUS minerals may be among the most common minerals in the body and yet, almost no one even knows that they are there. They have also been measured in vegetable matter. They are 1.54% of the dry matter weight of blue green algae, 2.20% of the dry matter weight of aloe and 5.51% of the dry matter weight of Ourco Nigel, Maritime Pine Bark (Pycnogenol), ginco extract.

I have excerpted several sound bites from four of Hudson's lectures that use the word "ormus". You can listen to these sound bites at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/ORMUS-1994-08-Denver.mp3

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/ORMUS-1995-02-10-Dallas.mp3

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/ORMUS-1995-10-21.mp3

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/ORMUS-b1995-11-17-Vancouver.mp3

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/ORMUS-c1995-11-17-Vancouver.mp3

Hudson uses this word in several of his other lectures, as well.

To answer your questions below, in order to get his natural source ORMUS material to levitate and exhibit properties of superconductivity he had to separate the individual ORMUS elements and then "anneal" them many times using different heat limits for each element while keeping it in, first an argon, then a helium atmosphere. These conditions are not likely to occur in the ocean or in the precipitation process.

However, it looks like there are other conditions that bring about the levitation state of the ORMUS elements. Jim's description of "fly ash" sounds identical to Hudson's description of the m-iridium and m-gold levitating away from his hand. Michael Burbury also reported a similar effect with a substance he made by fermenting dew. You can listen to all three reports at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/flyashall.mp3

In many of his lectures, David Hudson claimed that there is "monoatomic gold" in sea water. Here is an example from his first Dallas lecture:

"The Gods came here to Earth. They lived here on the Earth. They came here to mine gold out of the sea waters." Now right there most of you don't know much about chemistry but if it's soluble in sea water and stays in sea water, it's elemental gold. Metallic gold salt in the sea water would precipitate and come out. Okay, so it has to be elemental gold. Okay, as the "oroide", the monoatomic gold. They were not able to get enough gold so they begin to mine it in Africa so they could get more gold.

You can also listen to a passage on this subject from another of Hudson's lectures at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/seawatergold.mp3

Hudson's chemist told me privately that it is very important to have enough sodium chloride (salt) in your process. If you don't have enough salt then the boiling steps will drive the ORMUS off as a gas. The idea is that the salt provides some sort of "shielding" for the "Meissner effect" in the ORMUS. Though Hudson tended to keep this information proprietary he did talk about it peripherally in his lectures. Here is an example from his Dallas lecture:

The neat thing about gold, as compared to the other elements, is that gold can be purified by distillation. At 450 degrees elemental gold will resonance disconnect from itself and will go over as a gas and be re-condensed over here and be caught as white powder again. And so you can purify it, back and forth, by repeated distillation, and get a very high purity substance. It's called the "white dew", the "white condensate", "the white dove" or it's depicted as a white feather in the alchemical texts. Because that's the way it was purified as a volatile material.

Jim also claimed that salt helped the ORMUS to stay around in the presence of magnetic fields. I confirmed this when I first used the peroxide method to convert gold metal to ORMUS gold. If I did not put salt in the solution I would get a real gold rush from breathing it as I raised the pH to precipitate the white powder. I describe this effect at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/goldto-m.htm

Jim also mentioned the importance of a proper salt level to keep ORMUS around in magnetic fields at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/pmf.htm

The Hudson quote above also suggests a method for assaying a portion of the ORMUS in sea water precipitate. Additional information from Hudson's newsletters suggests that m-gold and m-iridium will not dissolve in stomach acid:

"The ORME material as it is being produced at the present time, consists of seven different elements in the ORME state. Each element has its own individual characteristics, both physical and chemical. The most important property, which I believe is of concern to the majority of members is the reactivity of the ORME state with hydrochloric acid.

In the stomach, one of the main acids produced during digestion is hydrochloric acid. We know from our previous research that Osmium, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium and to some degree, Platinum are all dissolvable with hydrochloric acid. Therefore, they would most likely be primarily digestible and absorbable into the natural digestive system. We have found, however, that Iridium and Gold in the ORME state are virtually insoluble in hydrochloric acid and therefore, would not be absorbable during the natural digestive process."

Based on Hudson's claims about these properties of the individual ORMUS elements, back in 1998 I suggested a method for a non spectroscopic assay for ORMUS in sea water.

Here is a web page I put up back in August of 1998 on this subject:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/parting.htm

The first step would be to totally dry the precipitate, the second step would be to remove the magnesium and calcium, the third step would be to take the remaining precipitate down to the pH of stomach acid and the fourth step would be to heat the remaining solids to a temperature above 450 Celsius and below 650 Celsius.

This would separate the m-rhodium, m-iridium and m-gold into separate weighable components giving us an idea about their relative abundance in the dry precipitate.

Based on my suggestion a professional assayer developed the parting and assay method described at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/wm-assay.htm

in the summer of 2001.

This is the method that Arthur repeatedly used to confirm that his dried precipitate (which was over thirty percent spectroscopically invisible) had roughly the same amounts of m-rhodium, m-iridium and m-gold that the Essene claimed it had. (These amounts vary from one ocean water sample to another.)

The Essene claimed:

M-state Gold 8-14%

M-state Rhodium 30%

M-state Iridium 6-9%

In one of his tests Arthur got:

M-state Gold 8.4%

M-state Rhodium 31.2%

M-state Iridium 11.7%

Arthur says that he has done this repeatedly and the numbers are within a few percentage points every time.

Very few people have discovered new ORMUS elements. David Hudson discovered 12. Gary Higgenbotham discovered six additional ORMUS elements and Michael Burbury discovered seven additional ORMUS elements.

Michael is a professional metallurgist. He has made the white powder of 16 different elements using a variation of the peroxide method that I developed back in the summer of 1997. He has eaten all of these white powders. Michael has also converted ORMUS to metal. Michael says that he prefers the ORMUS precipitate from sea salt to any of the white powders from the metals. You can listen to his explanation of this at:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/SeaORMUSEnergy.mp3

When I first met him the Essene claimed that he had been ingesting sea water precipitate since he was six years old. Here is a bit on this from one of the recordings I made when I visited him in October of 2000:

The Essene: I came into this life with the full memory of my past lives. I know how rare that is, but I don't brag about it. I knew how to do things all my life. When I was in school they'd put me in the back of the classroom and give me something to play with so I wouldn't disturb the class. They'd give me a test once a month, and that’s how I went through school.

Barry: So when you were 6 years old and out fishing and dumped the fish out and got some water instead. You took it home and…

The Essene: I precipitated it with some of my mom’s lye from under the sink. I just knew how much to use. And then I ate it, and I kept eating it. My parents weren't mad. My dad was relatively enlightened. Also, he was a college professor. It was alright. And I've been eating it all of my life.

Years ago the women used to make the m-state. They filtered the water through cloth. Then they made the m-state and they filtered that out with cloth. They put that in the dark and they dried it. Everybody had a little leather pouch that they put their m-state in and they took a little of it every day. The whole idea was not to get sick because if you got sick you died. So it was just like taking a vitamin for them. Nobody thought anything of it except that they knew they never got sick as long as they took their m-state.

End of quote

I have been eating ORME precipitate from sea water for a decade. I have noticed many benefits and no detriments. Hundreds of others have also done this without problems.

While we don't have any scientific reports on the biological benefits of David Hudson's products we do have several such reports on the benefits of sea water precipitate. You can read a couple of these reports at:

Also see the story of the Essene's giant walnuts at:

Also please note that in the document that describes the Wet Method we placed the following warning:

"We do not recommend the ingestion of these materials since so little is known about them. This information is being provided so that scientific inquiry can commence into the nature of these materials."

you can read more of the warnings we included in the Wet Method document.

This document was written or approved as a joint effort by about seventy people on an ORMUS forum.

Arthur's Liquid Chi ORMUS product has 373,000 parts per billion of gold but only 24 parts per billion of lead. There is more lead in a potato than in a teaspoon of Liquid Chi.
