There are three men coined as the pioneers of Τrace Element research: Jules Raulin, Klaus Schwarz, and Eric
J. Underwood.

Trace Elements are essential micronutrients that are present in living tissue in tiny amounts. They are
essential for enzyme activity in our bodies and are necessary for proper health. They exist for metabolic
function, tissue repair, and cell growth. Most Trace Elements are categorized as nutritionally essential,
probably essential, and sometimes potentially toxic. Nutritionally essential elements are vital for metabolic
and physiological function. Having too much or too little can cause water or electrolyte abnormalities,
potential disease, or toxicity, among other maladies.

There are at the very least 21 different Trace Elements in the human body that have been studied and they
all serve a different purpose. Because the body does not produce these trace elements, it is necessary that
we consume them through supplements or our everyday diet. 9 trace elements that are important for
physiological function are: selenium, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, iron, molybdenum, iodine and
fluoride.

A trace element deficiency can be detected through blood work, Therapeutic Dowsing, and/or physical,
mental and emotional symptoms.

**Trace Elements cannot replace any medical diagnosis or medication in any way.
