Dr. Oz interviewed several people who suffer from the condition known as Pica.

One person eats chalk, others eat rocks, baby powder, drywall, and other strange materials. It’s a strange condition that is apparently more common than most people might imagine.

All in all, the underlying reason for this behavior is the need for minerals that is not being met in the diet of these people. The body craves minerals when deficient and people will justify eating unusual things just to meet that unconscious need.

One person’s blood was so impaired that she was in serious peril. Another person was lacking in iron and other deficiencies were exposed and discussed by Dr. Oz and his expert on the topic.

Getting minerals is not always the easiest thing to accomplish, since our soils are depleted and food processing alters the nutrients that are available. So it is vitally important to supplement with Ionic Liquid Minerals that have nearly one hundred minerals in proper and natural ratios.
