T. J. Clark's Minerals were first developed in the early 1920s after T. J. Clark, a rancher in Central Utah fell seriously ill. Doctors were unable to diagnose his illness, and his condition became progressively worse. Desperate to save his life, he allowed local Native Americans to lead him to a secret spring, and drank from it. He continued drinking the water until his illness disappeared. Amazed by his recovery, T.J. traced the path of the stream back to its source in the mountains in an effort to unlock the secrets of the mysterious water. 

Researching the spring's path led Old Tom to the discovery of a rich mineral deposit. Verified by the U.S. Department of the Interior as an ancient rain forest approximately 100 million years old, it contains uniquely preserved mineral compounds from plant sources. Tom's original discovery still exists on his grandson Thomas "Tom" J. Clark's privately-owned Last Chance Ranch. 

Through research on his farm animals, T.J. found a variety of health benefits which he attributed to the mineral compounds. He developed a leaching process to extract the concentrated minerals into pure water. He began passing out his mineral formula to his friends and neighbors. The feedback that they provided, coupled with his personal experience with the minerals, was the cornerstone of his research. Word of mouth spread the news of the minerals across the country. 

T. J. spent the rest of his life investigating the spring and mineral beds and working with researchers. He came to discover that up to 70 of the 94 naturally occurring elements were present in the spring and interacting with each other in ways that are unknown even today. By the time he died, T. J. had created the world's finest mineral formula. His legacy continued through the work of his grandson, Tom, who is currently president and CEO of T. J. Clark and Company. 

Tom spent his early years apprenticing with his grandfather. The years spent traipsing along with T.J. taught him valuable lessons in finding, extracting and processing the minerals, and the importance of helping people. Tom has continued his grandfather's scientific research in order to further refine and enhance the legendary mineral formulas. 

Today, Tom continues research into the electrical properties of the minerals and the unique synergy created by the mineral complexes. It is the complex interactions of the minerals over millions of years, combined with a proprietary processing method that provides the active ingredients in T. J. Clark's Minerals. Modern testing equipment is still unable to identify the exact nature of the interactions of these compounds. However, testing has verified that the original mineral deposit contains the necessary major minerals and rare trace minerals that should be present in the human body to maintain a healthy bio-electrical balance. 

T. J. made history when he discovered that amazing mineral deposit in Central Utah. Today, his mine is still owned and operated by T.J. Clark & Co., which is owned by Tom Clark and his family. T.J. Clark & Co., based in St. George, Utah, is recognized worldwide as the leader in the liquid trace mineral industry. T. J. Clark & Co. is the leading liquid trace mineral manufacturer with 75 years of research resulting in consistent, safe and effective products. T. J. Clark's Minerals contain up to 70 naturally occurring minerals in trace amounts. 

If you visit only one site on the web to research colloidal minerals, DO NOT MISS this tremendous article about the science behind colloidal minerals* can be found at the Advanced Bio website. 

Read this interesting history of colloidal minerals. 

Ever wonder exactly what minerals are good for?* Read this Technical Bulletin about Minerals and find out. 

What are colloidal minerals?

A “colloid” is a particle substance that retains its identity and remains in suspension. Colloids are very small in size and therefore easily absorbed by the cells of the body. Plants convert metallic minerals into this form. Dr. Cary Reams, a well known biophysicist and biochemist, discovered that colloids can get so small they can go through glass. And even within these plant colloids there can be a “solar system” of different minerals. Dr. Reams maintains that the body requires 84 of the known 106 elements. Colloidal biochemistry is a very neglected branch of science and much research has yet to be done to determine the exact function of all the various elements. 

Is it possible to test for particles that small?

With the standard testing method known as spectroscopy, results of testing for such small particles are only approximate and vary from laboratory to laboratory. To our knowledge there are only two super electron microscopes in the country that could possible detect particles down to the size of the very small colloids found in our product. There is no known method of establishing the exact form they are in. 

What about minerals that are generally considered to be toxic?

The colloidal minerals found in plants are not toxic. Quite the opposite, they are very beneficial. Aluminum, for example, makes up about 30% of the earth’s crust and in it’s metallic form it can be harmful. However, aluminum is found in many foods but in a completely different form. According to the Harvard Medical Newsletter it is the distinction between these forms that is critical in any investigation. The same is true of arsenic, iodine, lead, mercury and other mineral elements. In their colloidal form they are actually needed by the body in trace amounts, or microgram amounts. A microgram is one millionth of a gram.

Have the T. J. Clark minerals ever been tested?

The Clark colloidal plant-source minerals were tested in Germany by Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp, a Nobel Prize nominee in biophysics. His tests revealed that the product was not only completely non-toxic but actually increased the life (electrical) energy output of cells beyond what had previously been established as optimum. Dr. Popp congratulated us on the excellence of our product. 

Are T. J. Clark colloidal minerals different than other colloidal minerals on the market?

Yes! Substantially different for several reasons. Number one, and probably the most important difference is the source. The deposit that was discovered in 1920 by Thomas Clark was determined to be the mineral remains of an ancient rain forest. The U.S. Department of the Interior has determined it to be from the Cretaceous Period, which would make it approximately 60 to 127 million years old. This is the period characterized by the development of flowering plants and the disappearance of the dinosaur. A unique set of circumstances preserved this portion of the forest under just 20 to 30 feet of sandstone, enough to protect the deposit but not enough to cause the excessive heat and pressure that would have altered the form of the minerals. What’s more, at the bottom of the deposit there is a very hard bed of clay which allowed the minerals to collect and at the same time prevented them from leaching through and simply disappearing. NO OTHER DEPOSIT OF THIS NATURE HAS EVER BEEN FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH.

Another important difference is in our unique processing method. The minerals are extracted, just the way nature does it, with pure, cool water. Once the desired concentration is achieved the minerals are processed through a complex array of special filters to allow only organic colloidal minerals in the final solution. There are no preservatives, flavorings or synthetic substances of any kind added. 

At the present time the 75 year-old, T. J. Clark mine is the only one of it’s kind ever discovered. NO ONE, no person or company other than T. J. Clark, has mineral rights to this one-of-a-kind deposit. We realize that there are some companies making false and misleading claims. If you have any question about the authenticity of a product you may fax a label directly to T.J.Clark & Co. (435) 634-0308 to verify authorization. 

Are there any other important differences?

Yes, among them the fact that T. J. Clark colloidal minerals have a natural, negative electrical charge. This has two very important benefits; one it greatly enhances the transport and availability of other nutrients derived from foods or other vitamin and mineral supplements, and two, it will attract toxins and heavy metals from the body and help flush them out. 

How long will the mineral supply last?

That of course, depends on the volume that we produce, which by the way, has markedly increased. Our projection however, taking into account the increased demand, is approximately two to three hundred years. Incidentally, production facilities have recently been expanded to meet the growing demand. 

There is an audio tape being widely circulated called, “Dead Doctors Don’t Lie,” what source of minerals is Dr. Joel Wallach referring to on that tape?

Dr. Wallach is referring to the T. J. Clark minerals. There are companies who are either paying a royalty or are simply using the tape illegally and they have edited out the portion where Dr. Wallach refers to the Clark mine. All companies authorized to distribute product from the T. J. Clark mine however, have been issued a certificate. 

I’m confused about terms like “humic shale,” and “fulvic.” What do they mean?

There is a great deal of confusion in the marketplace regarding not only these terms but several others. Here’s what we’ve been able to determine: 
Humic Shale – This is an interesting term. If we look at the words individually we discover that humus is formed by the partial decomposition of vegetable or animal matter. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock readily splitting into thin plates or layers. Since we have been unable to discover what humic shale is, we assume it is a name coined in an attempt to give credibility to some other product. T.J.Clark Minerals contain neither humus nor shale. 
Fulvic Acid – This a general term used to describe an organic acid formed during composting or from the natural decay of vegetable or animal matter. No one can say what the specific chemical composition of fulvic acid is, therefore isolating it as a beneficial element in a mineral formula is highly suspect. 
Colloid – or “colloidal” as we have discussed elsewhere, simply refers to particle size. According to Webster’s dictionary, a colloid is “a substance made up of tiny, insoluble, non-diffusible particles that remain suspended in a medium of a different matter.” Colloids are one of the many important components of T. J. Clark minerals from T. J. Clark. 
Ion – An ion is simply an atom or group of atoms which has either an excess or a deficiency of electrons and is thus electrically charged. Everything contains ions, including the air you breathe. Isolating an ion exchange as in important ingredient in a mineral formula therefore, is meaningless. 
Chelate – A chemical compound in which the central atom, (usually a metal ion) is attached to neighboring atoms by at least two bonds in such a way as to form a ring. As a single component of any mineral formula, chelates are not significant. 

Are your minerals organic and non-metallic?

No. There is no such thing as an “organic mineral.” It may be complexed with an organic compound but it’s selectively extracted from the soil and made usable by plants and may have organic compounds associated with them. Minerals themselves are not organic. 

Why should I take mineral supplements?

Since the beginning of industrialized farming the nations farmers have been using only three basic minerals to replenish the soil: nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous. Without the addition of the full spectrum of minerals every year a crop is grown the farmland’s natural resources are quickly depleted. In many places these minerals no longer exist in the soil at all. The essential major and trace minerals we need to maintain health and prevent disease are now absent from our food. Nor is this a “new” phenomenon. As far back as 1936 Readers Digest published an article detailing the loss of essential minerals in the soil. Without the proper amount of these minerals in your system, vitamin and other nutrient retention is not possible. In addition to providing vital nutrients missing from today’s soil, T. J. Clark minerals also have the ability to attract heavy metals and other toxins, allowing them to be more easily flushed from the body. You should take mineral supplements because minerals are in fact, essential to the well being of the human body. 

How often do I need to take minerals? How much should I take?

Because the body doesn’t naturally create minerals, you need to supplement your diet with a small amount, (about 2 ounces) of T.J. Clark colloidal minerals every day.
