Abstract:
1. A method of treating glycation-related conditions, comprising, administering to a human or animal an effective amount of an extracted mineral element composition wherein said extracted mineral element composition is prepared by a method consisting of: one acid treatment step, a settling step, a separating step, and a concentration step, and a drying step, wherein the one acid treatment step consists of admixing a clay soil, a mixture of clay soils, or a mixture of clay soils and leonardite with water in an amount at least two times the weight of the soil and an acid to produce a water-acid-soil slurry, wherein the amount of acid is 0.25% to 7.5% of the weight of the water; wherein the settling step consists of allowing solids from the water-acid-soil slurry to settle; wherein the separating step consists of separating the liquid of the water-acid-soil slurry from the settled solids wherein the solids comprise substantially all of the silica and aluminum from the clay soil, mixture of clay soils, or a mixture of clay soils and leonardite; wherein the concentrating step consists of concentrating the separated liquid to form a liquid extracted mineral element composition comprising (i) calcium, chlorine, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, silicon, and sodium, and (ii) a lower amount of silica and aluminum than the clay soil, a mixture of clay soils, or a mixture of clay soils and leonardite; wherein the drying step consists of drying the concentrated liquid to form a dry extracted mineral element composition; and wherein the amount is effective in reducing at least a portion of the glycation events in a human or animal.
