Animal Research on MINERAL and POLYSACCHARIDE BLENDS

Conducted in 2003 by Arthur Zeigler


The Stamina test:

Forced swim testing to the point of terminal exhaustion.

 

The method:

Four week old white mice were obtained and split into seven populations. The control population consisted of ten mice and the other groups consisted of five mice each.

 

All populations were given measured amounts of the same food and measured amounts of water daily. The test groups were given various combinations of mineral enhanced polysaccharides or polysaccharides only in their water ration.

 

The maximum recommended oral dose for humans, of the polysaccharide blends is four drops per kilogram of body weight per day.

 

The mice were each given five drops of the formula in there water every day for thirty days.

At the termination of the test the mice weighed an average of 27 grams each. The dosage which they had received for 30 days was equal to 185 drops per kilogram of body weight per day or 45 times the recommended dose for humans.

 

The 30 day duration of the test equals 1/24th of the life span of a mouse or the equivalent of a 3 and 1/3 year segment of an eighty year human life span.

 

During the first week of the test there was a 30% mortality for the control population but no deaths occurred in any of the groups receiving supplements.

 

Termination:

At the end of 30 days the mice were placed in 1,000 milliliter beakers containing 800 milliliters of water where they were forced to swim until the point of terminal exhaustion and death.

 

The Results:

1. The control group, which had not received mineral and/or polysaccharide supplementation, endured for an average of 257 minutes, or 4 hours and 17 minutes.

 

2.  The test population, which had received mixed polysaccharides without minerals, endured for an average of 499 minutes, or 8 hours and 19 minutes.

 

3.  The test population, which had been supplemented with a mineral and mixed polysaccharide blend, endured for an average of 647 minutes, or 10 hours and 47 minutes.

 

4. The survival time for the Ormus only mice was an average of 840 minutes.


Observations:

1.  The test population, which received mixed polysaccharide supplementation, exhibited more stamina than the control group by enduring the forced swim testing for a duration 1.94 times greater.

 

2.  The test population, which received a supplementation of mixed polysaccharides enhanced with minerals, exhibited more stamina than the control group by enduring the forced swim testing for a duration 2.52 times greater

 

3.  The test group receiving the mineral enhanced polysaccharide blend exhibited more stamina than the group receiving polysaccharides only by enduring the forced swim testing for a duration 1.3 times greater.

 

4. The test group receiving the Ormus mineral only endured 3.134 times longer than the average of the control group.

 

Conclusions:

1.  The polysaccharide blend used for this study greatly enhances stamina.

 

2.  The addition of selected minerals to the polysaccharide blend significantly improves its performance.  This point was verified by the endurance times of two other test groups which had received similar mineral and polysaccharide blends.

 

3.  Dietary supplementation with mineral enhanced polysaccharides, as blended for this test and at the dosage used, appear to have only beneficial effects.

 

The Supplement Formulas:

1.  The polysaccharide only formula contained 10,000 parts per million of aloe vera polysaccharides and 40,000 parts per million of larch tree arabinogalactin in deionized water.

 

The Ormus only supplement was the same as that used with the polysaccharides only it was used by itself. The blend was as follows: 50% C-11, 20% extract from an Ormus bearing dolomite and 20% extract from a 10,000 year old smectite which has devitrified. To this 10% DI water was added to bring the blend to 100%.

 

2.  The mineral enhanced polysaccharide formula contained the same level of polysaccharides to which was added minerals extracted from sea water, dolomite, lava and fulvic shale.
