Dr. Carey Reams, a well known biophysicist and biochemist, discovered that colloids can get so small that they can go through glass. Dr. Reams maintains that the body requires 84 of the known 106 elements. This finely divided substance or colloid in this case is the metallic mineral that has been transformed by the plant's system into a harmless form of mineral. The diameter of one of these particles is less than 10 microns6 . To illustrate this measurement we could use the comparison to a human hair which is about 75 microns.
Colloidal particles are too small to be seen by the naked eye.
I t is possible to test for particles down to these very small sizes with the standard method of testing, known as spectroscopy, but the results are only approximate1 . As explained before during the process of transformation by the plant the colloidal minerals remained in suspension. The explanation for this is that they have a very small size and also they have a negative charge. This process of creating colloidal minerals was exclusively a natural process. This has now changed.
