Can/should Alkadrenergy and Adrenergy be taken together?  What is the benefit of doing this?
Adrenergy is for a quick response, and Alkadrenergy is for long lasting response.
Also Adrenergy is acidic while Alkadrenergy alkalizes. Without consulting with you, we suggest taking Adrenergy for the first month, then switching to Alkadrenergy.  We do suggest keeping a bottle of both on hand at all times, because if you are overly fatigued due to stresses of life Adrenergy will give the quicker boost (take for one to three days than back on Alkadrenergy). In general, this is how we suggest taking these products.

My chiropractor just recommended Adrenergy to me.  It has raw adrenal concentrate derived from "imported" range fed cattle.  My questions are:
1) Are the cattle fed organic foods.
2) Where are the cattle parts imported from?
The cattle are range fed from New Zealand. The cattle grow naturally without growth hormones, unexposed to drugs or chemically influenced foods, and processed without damaging heat (freeze dried).

Thank you for the butter answer we all found it interesting and not really surprising. We (a group of us who use Alka Slim) have 2 other questions. The first is my grandson 10 months old sees our Alka Slim bottles come out and comes crawling as fast as he can like we have a candy bar. He of course eats a very healthy diet and we do not see anything in Alka Slim that would seem like a problem to him (just a few sips) - we actually think you should come up with a similar product for children - he could be your ad campaign.
Let me know if you think we should not "share" our lunch with him.  Thanks again these are questions we have had for a long time and finally now we can have answers.

Great questions! 

Let me preface this email by saying that these are only suggestions and that we recommend seeing a B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique) doctor who can provide you with individualized answers.  You can search for a B.E.S.T. doctor at Morter Health System's website: http://www.morter.com/practitioner.php

That being said, sharing is definitely good!  Alka Slim is made for everyone, although we would recommend moderation for your 10 month old.   For babies, we also recommend giving them fresh carrot juice (organic preferred) with a stalk of celery and diluting it with an equal part of pure water so it’s not too rich for him.  Of course, you'll need a juicer to do this.  And it's also great for adults too.

As for your daughter,
Good luck!  Your 10 month is definitely on the right track to a vibrant life!

My daughter has high triglycerides and is on a low carb diet - would Alka Slim be good for her?
We recommend both Alka Slim and Alka Green.  Alka Green is made from baby barley plants and is great at re-alkalizing the body.  It comes is tablet and powder form - You might try Alka Green Powder as it can be mixed right in with your Alka Slim drink.  From personal use, we've found that Alka Green provides a boost of energy.  Plus, it provides the building blocks (enzymes, vitamins, and minerals) to rebuild your body from the inside out.  Visit our Alka Green page for more information.

Is Super Digest a Vegetarian product?
Yes! Super Digest is a Vegetarian product!

I am interested in your product Super Digest.  It has all the enzymes I am looking for in one tablet but I have a few questions.  Is this a chewable tablet?  If it is chewable, I would assume that there are sweeteners of some sort; what might they be?  I can just barely make out the label and it looks like it says "vegetarian."  This is important to us, as we are vegetarian and it is hard finding vegetarian supplements.
The tablets are not meant to be chewable tablets. They contain no sweeteners.  Each tablet contains only the following:

Amylase, Protease, Lipase, Cellulase, Lactase (which aids in the digestion of milk and dairy products), Papaya Enzyme (Papain), Pineapple Enzyme (Bromelain), and Alfalfa Powder, In A Base of Calcium and Betaine Hydrochloride. The Enzymes Are Active, Contains No Yeast, And Is Not Heat Treated.

Super Digest is a vegetarian product--as are virtually all of our products.  The label that you can barely read on the internet says "The pure vegetable digestive enzyme formula."

How much Trace Minerals should I take a day?
We suggest taking  1 dropper full (10 drops) with water or juice per day.

How long does one jar last?
One jar of Trace Minerals lasts about 1 month.

How should I take Trace Minerals?
You can take Trace Minerals 'straight' by using the dropper to place the liquid minerals in your mouth.  However, you will soon find that this doesn't taste the best.  Therefore, we suggest mixing 10 ounces of Trace Minerals with orange juice. If you take Alka Green powder or Alka Slim, we suggest mixing Trace Minerals in with your Alka Green or Alka Slim drink.  We call a drink comprised of Alka Green powder, Alka slim and Trace Minerals are Power Pack because it contains a smorgasbord of vitamins, minerals and live enzymes to create a healthy body and to energize your day.

Are there any warnings associated with this product?
Do not put Trace Minerals in your eyes.  Also, keep Trace Minerals away from clothing as it stains.

Are there any other uses for this product?
Use Trace Minerals on small burns to alleviate the heat on the burn and to heal the burn more quickly.  Also, use Trace Minerals on cuts to cauterize the wound and to heal the cut more quickly.  The 72 minerals provide your body with everything it needs to heal cuts and burns quickly and efficiently.

Can you give me any information on the trace mineral dirt?  I don't know the "official" name but I think it is used for arthritis.  I would appreciate any information on this. 
Unfortunately, we do not have the information that you are seeking.  If we do come across anything, we will let you know.  Our Trace Mineral product contains 72 trace minerals obtained naturally from an organic plant source, but we have never heard anything about the trace mineral dirt.

When I got my order I was very disappointed to see that included in the ingredients were Mercury and Fluorine!  Is this really healthy?  How can I be sure the Mercury content won't chew away at my brain cells?  Anyway, please advise. 
Our body needs and uses very minute trace elements of all the minerals found in our natural environment normally broken down through plant sources.   These trace mineral elements including mercury are essential for optimum health acting as a catalyst for necessary chemical reactions to take place internally in the body.
The health distinction is two-fold to answer your concern. To be beneficial for the body to use, these minerals must be organic rather than inorganic. Organic means that these minerals come from the plant kingdom forming a covalent bond that is usable by the human body.  The deleterious form of minerals such as copper or mercury is inorganic with an ionic bond that is not easily broken down.  
Second, these trace minerals must be of a minute (trace) amount in colloidal suspension. When this occurs, the body can take what it needs and discard the rest through the normal elimination process of the bowel and urinary systems.The Alka-Line Trace Minerals were made entirely by nature millions of years ago and went through the plant kingdom. They are unadulterated by man.  

Dear Folks, Please explain the addition of toxic trace minerals in your "Trace Mineral" product.  I see Lead, Mercury, and Cobalt, to name a few.

That is a great question. Thanks for asking.  The first thing to understand is that Trace Minerals comes from an organic plant-source. 

The second thing to know is that mercury, lead, cobalt, gold, silver, and a host of other minerals exist naturally in the soil (in very small quantities - this is important to note).

When a plant puts roots into the soil, it absorbs these minerals into its plant tissue.  These minerals are beneficial to the plant (otherwise it would it die).  And, since the minerals are in small quantities in the soil, the plant absorbs an even smaller amount into its tissue.

Thus, when you eat lettuce or celery or any other vegetable, you are eating small (or trace) quantities of these minerals, including lead, cobalt, and mercury.  But since they're in such small quantities, they just pass through your system and don't do you any harm.  The problem with lead and other toxic minerals is when you get them in large quantities.

All the minerals in Dr. Morter's Trace Minerals come from plants. Thus, since these plants absorbed minute quantities of silver, gold, lead, mercury, etc, Trace Minerals contains trace amounts of these same minerals. 

Since it's ok to eat lettuce, which contains trace amounts of these minerals, it's safe to consume Trace Minerals.

My mother and I just started taking your Alka-Greens and Trace Minerals.  We feel they are very good products.  I wonder if you could give us a breakdown of the quantity that we are getting of each vitamin and mineral.  We don't know whether to continue taking our Vitamin E with selenium, for example, as the Trace Minerals have selenium.  Since we realize selenium can be toxic in larger quantity, we're not sure if we should take both the Minerals and our regular Vitamin E.  Also interested to know the amount of iron contained in the Minerals. Also, are we getting vitamins C and B with the Alka-Greens?  If so, do you know how much? Thank you very much for your time, and for these wonderful, nutritious products.
Since Trace Minerals are from a variety of different plant materials, each bottle varies slightly in the amount of minerals it contains.  Thus, we will tell in you ranges the amount of Iron and Selenium present.  In each bottle, the amount of Iron ranges from 4.5 to 27 grams.  The amount of Selenium ranges from .1 to 230 milligrams.  Alka Green contains 11 milligrams of Vitamin C and 1 microgram of Vitamin B-12 for every Teaspoon of powder or 7 tablets.

As far as getting too much selenium, here are my thoughts on this matter.  Trace Minerals come from organic (living) sources; they are all natural.  Our bodies are great at deriving nutritional needs from all-natural, organic sources.  When we consume products found in their natural states, our bodies are able to take the nutrition they need while discarding the rest.  Thus, if you eat foods found in their natural states, you should not have a problem with getting too much of one vitamin or mineral.  The problems occur when we start taking things (synthetic supplements) not found in their natural states.  Our body does not recognize these man-made products so it has trouble determining what to keep and what to discard.  This is where we run into problems of consuming too much.  The good news is that Alka Green and Trace Minerals are not man-made; they are derived straight from all-natural and organic sources.  My advice to you is to concentrate your supplementary needs to those coming straight from natural sources.  We recommend Dr. Morter's AlkaLine as a great way to supplement your bodies.

Where to Start

I am completely new to this site.  Which products are essential for my health?
It really depends on your current state of health. For people suffering from allergies, we would suggest the Allergies Pack. For those suffering from indigestion, we would recommend the Acid Reflux pack. For those who are chronically fatigued, we would suggest the Fatigue Pack. And for those who are looking to lose weight or control their weight, we would suggest the Weight Management Pack.

There are some staples that we do suggest that everyone take:

1. Alka Green. Alka Green is made from 100% baby barley plants. It is a superior source for vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and much much more. Furthermore, it is one of the best alkalizing products on the market and will help restore your body to its natural levels of health.

2. Trace Minerals. Did you know the soil is vastly inferior to the soils of 100 years ago? The foods we eat don't contain the vitamin content that it used to. Furthermore, your body cannot use the vitamins you consume if it does not have the necessary minerals. That is why we suggest our Trace Minerals product, which contains 72 trace minerals from an all-natural plant source.

3. Super Digest and Alka Pan. Enzymes are a vital part of our diet, unfortunately our body cannot store enzymes. Furthermore, many of the processed foods today do not contain any enzymes since they are killed during the production of the food. Therefore, it is essential to supplement your body with enzymes. That is why we suggest Super Digest and Alka Pan. These two products contain a smorgasbord of enzymes to increase not only your digestion and absorption but also your health and well-being.

My name is Cherie and I stumbled upon your website.  I suffer from acid reflux and an upset stomach quite frequently.  I am in great shape and no one test can attribute to my stomach complaints.  I exercise daily and eat well, but for some reason my pH balance is acidic.  I generally am around 6.2 to 6.6 when I check it.  My question is, where do I start?  I have no idea what product I should purchase.  If I could get a little advice that would be great.
We will be glad to help you on your journey towards health. There are a multitude of different strategies that people use to turn their lives around. We are going to offer one such strategy that you can choose to use. There is some basic physiology we would like to inform you about before we recommend any products. Disease is caused by an imbalance in the body. Once the body becomes imbalanced and overwhelmed, then 'dis-ease' sets in.  Imbalances occur from a number of reasons.  Nutritional deficiencies, toxicity, and negative thoughts and emotions are all causes of imbalances.  Nutritional deficiencies occur for a number of reasons.  The chemicals that are sprayed on agriculture deplete the soil of their nutrients.  Also, much of the food today is processed, canned and frozen. During all of these processes, necessary vitamins, minerals and enzymes are lost. Enzymes are often overlooked, but are perhaps one of the most important components to health.  Toxicity in the body is caused from a number of sources. Tap water, which many people predominately drink, is not pure; it contains chemicals like fluoride and chlorine...the masses are led to believe that these chemicals are good because they kill bacteria; however, if they are killing bacteria, what sort of havoc are they playing on the insides of our bodies?  Another source of toxicity is the foods we eat. Most of the foods we eat are loaded with pesticides; they are also loaded with preservatives like polysorbate 80 and partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats). The body was not designed to handle these substances; therefore, the body becomes overwhelmed in the constant flushing of these poisons. Finally, thoughts and emotions play one of the most important roles in health. The stress, anger, and anxiety of our lives often leave us feeling weak and exhausted. When we constantly run our body through this gamut of negative emotions, the ability to heal often times becomes second priority.  The inability to heal is also attributed to a lack of nutrients and excess toxicity in the body.  Once the inner peace is restored and the body is nourished and cleansed the body can begin to heal and repair itself. 

With all that information shared, this is our recommendation to you.  Keep in mind that we are not a Medical Doctor and nothing we say is intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease.  What may be the cause of your discomfort is that the digestive tract is no longer functioning properly due to years of various behaviors (things you were in control of: food; but also things you weren't really in control of: air quality and pesticides).  The first thing we would do is to start a Colon Cleanse.  One major source of toxicity is from a clogged and inefficient colon.  Once the colon gets backed up, then the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, etc become affected.  We recommend our product called Alka Cleanse, which includes the ingredient psyllium, a gentle but effective colon cleanser.  This product is generally recommended for 3 weeks, which is about two bottles of Alka Cleanse. At the same time it is important to be providing the digestive tract with the ingredients it needs to get heal.  The next product we would recommend would be Alkadophilus.  Alkadophilus replenishes the good bacteria necessary in the digestive tract that were killed through antibiotics and chemicals.  At the same time as we are cleansing our digestive tract, we need to be nourishing our bodies with life-enhancing products.  Trace Minerals and Alka Green are two such products.  As we mentioned earlier, our food system is depleted of many minerals compared to 100 years ago.  However, our bodies still need these minerals.  This is where Trace Minerals come in to play.  Trace Minerals are derived 100% from a natural plant source and provide 72 essential minerals.  Since the minerals are from a natural source and are found in their ideal environment, the body is able to absorb a majority of the minerals.  Alka Green also provides vitamins and minerals; 7 tablets are approximately the same as a serving of vegetables.  Alka Green is made from 100% pure baby barley plants; there are no fillers in any of our products.  Alka Green provides a great source of living enzymes that the body craves.  The enzymes are the building blocks to help our bodies to repair.  As our bodies receive this nutrition the body as a whole becomes a more efficient system.  Consequently, we think Trace Minerals and Alka Green would be great products for you.

We hope this was very informative for you.  It is our goal at MorterSupplements to provide people with information to help them improve their lives.  The products we just recommended are very similar to the Detox Pack found at our site at http://mortersupplements.com/detoxpack.html.  This pack also includes Alka Pan, which helps support proper pancreatic functions.  The pack also includes a DVD which is very useful and informative.  With that said, we would highly recommend the Detox Pack, but browse our site and choose what feels right to you.  All products will be beneficial to you.  We would also recommend visiting a B.E.S.T. Practitioner.  You can search for one at http://morter.com/practitioner.php.  He or she will be able to work with you one-on-one to find the cause of your disease.  B.E.S.T. practitioners look for why something is ailing you and then they balance the energy in the body and realign the subconscious mind to be congruent with the universe.  We highly recommend visiting one if you can.

Cancer and Leukemia
What products do you recommend for cancer?
We highly recommend our barley grass product called Alka Green. Barley grass is a truly phenomenal product at providing necessary nutrition. To learn more about barley grass and cancer, read this article. To learn more about Alka Green, click here.

We also recommend our Alkalize Pack. This pack contains essential supplements to heal your body while alkalizing and energizing your body.

I just found out I have leukemia ( CMML ). I am presently taking 10 Alka Green a day. Do you have any suggestions of what I can take to help me?
We would suggest you see a B.E.S.T. practitioner to be further evaluated including nutritional supplementation.  You can search for a B.E.S.T. practitioner at http://www.morter.com/practitioner.php.

Attending Dr. Morter's renowned Health Weekend would be another ideal action to take. You can give Theresa a call at 1-800-443-2378 to get more information about this life changing experience.

Insomnia

I have obstructive sleep apnea and hypersomnia.  I use an oral appliance to help with the sleep apnea but am still struggling with hypersomnia.  Could any of Dr. Morter's supplements help with sleep disorders?
Our thoughts are to have a BEST doctor evaluate you. Both nutrition (alkalinity/acid balance)and nero-physiology are probably both involved. Another 1st step might be to purchase the pH Test Kit and begin to understand the dynamics of pH and how you can take charge of your own health following the testing kit instructions and information.

Our personal experience has been that the more alkaline foods we eat (vegetables and fruits), the better our bodies’ are able to heal and the better we feel.  Since it can be hard to eat enough of these foods in a typical day, we recommend taking our Alka Green product.  Alka Green is an all-natural, whole-food product that provides essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes from a live plant source.

Pregnancy
I have been taking B.E.S.T. supplements for over 10 years and I LOVE them!! I am now pregnant with my second child (I'm now 2 months along) and am wondering if it is safe for my unborn child if I continue taking them.  My OBGYN said I am not allowed to take trace minerals because they contain Mercury.  What do you suggest?
In general we do not recommend Trace Minerals to pregnant women.  We are glad to hear that you are an avid believer in our products.  We still would recommend that you take our Alka Green product.  This nutrition and enzyme-rich product will provide your child with great nutrition to start off its life.  If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.  Thanks again for the question.

What about Alka Pan, Alka Cal and Alka slim (Alka Slim...just to get me alkalized in the morning)?
We recommend following the recommended dosages on the bottles.  All of Dr. Morter’s products are safe for pregnant women following the recommended dosage on the bottle.  The products are all natural so they are okay (We do not generally recommend Trace Minerals for pregnant women, however).

Should Alka Green and Trace Minerals be taken in place of, or along with, prenatal pills?
Good question!  Without specifically knowing your current state of health, we cannot make a specific decision on which supplements would be best for you.  However, we will offer some general advice. We highly recommend taking Alka Green.  Alka Green is a whole food supplement that is enzyme rich and alkalizes the body. Alka Green will aid the body in optimal function of energy, nutrition, and tissue healing.

For more specific answers we suggest consulting with a holistic health care practitioner, such as a BEST doctor.  To find one in your area, go to http://www.morter.com/practitioner.php.

Butter
I found your article on margarine vs. butter interesting. I also love your Alka Slim - tell me what is your position on the "new" butters like smart balance? Thanks for your time; I am a new customer appreciating your no cost shipping!!
Glad you liked the article!  Our take on new butters is mixed.  In our opinion, they are better than margarine because most do not have hydrogenated oils (However, you still have to read the labels, because some still do, only in smaller amounts). 

However, in our opinion, these "new" butters still aren't completely natural.  And this is what concerns us.  Regular butter has been in the human diet for thousands of years and our digestive system has learned how to break it down and use it. However, many of these new butters have numerous additives to them which turn a good think like olive oil into a processed food which the body doesn't recognize and has difficulty digesting. 

The body always does best with whole, unaltered foods.  And when we start messing with our foods, we start confusing our digestive system. Remember that butter isn't bad and fat isn't bad.  This fear of fat is actually unfounded.  In fact, a recent scientific review found that reducing the amount of fat in one's diet does not change a person's risk of numerous diseases.  (However, eliminating trans fats from your diet does have a significant positive impact on your health)

The key is always moderation. Our body needs fat, our body needs carbohydrates, our body needs proteins.  It's when these things are eaten in excess or are not eaten at all that we get into trouble. That's why we suggest sticking to natural, unprocessed foods, like butter and would prefer them over the processed new butters.
