What can go wrong and how are they lost?
Trace elements are highly reactive and because they are reactive
they are easily and quickly lost from the cells of the body. Therefore
in order for any application of trace elements to be effective it
is vital for their fast assimilation into the cells that they be
in a the correct form
The following is an example of what can cause blockages in the
cells or the loss of trace elements,
• Pollution
• Chelating substances – compounds which we ingest and
attach themselves to the trace elements which render the catalytic
effect inert
• Medicines
• Psychological disorders
• Noise
• Negative emotions
• Rhythm of life out of balance:
I.e. sleep
Diet
Change of seasons
Too little or too much exercise
Incorrect use of herbal medicines or food supplements

What happens when trace elements are out of balance?
Trace elements sometimes act as antagonist to each other. This
is a basic chemical reaction. So it is important when taking trace
elements that they are taken in the correct synergy and balance.
Below are some examples of elements being out of balances and the
possible consequences.
• Calcium/copper: Lack of copper. Consequences: anaemia,
arthritis;
• Calcium/zinc: Lack of zinc or excess of calcium. Consequences:
arterio¬sclerosis, diabetes, delayed scarring, sterility, impotence.
• Iron/manganese: Excess of iron; Consequences: diabetes,
hypoglycaemia.
• Zinc/copper: Lack of stored copper, copper deficiency due
to malabsorption or oestrogen-based therapy; Consequences: anaemia,
hypothyroidism, risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Calcium/cadmium: Excess of the calcium antagonist cadmium;
Consequences: disturbance of the metabolism of calcium in the bones
and the immune system.
• Calcium/copper; Consequences: disorders of the neuro¬psychological
system, degenerative diseases.
• Calcium/iron: Excess of iron; Consequences: disturbance
of the metabolism of calcium.
• Calcium/manganese: Excess of manganese; Consequences: diabetes.
• Calcium/phosphorus: Excess of phosphorus in the diet (meat
diet); Consequences: disturbances of the metabolism of calcium,
increased requirement for vitamin C.
• Calcium/zinc: Excess of zinc; Consequences: osteoporosis
• Zinc/copper: Excess of copper, treatment with steroids,
contraceptive pill; Consequences: degenerative diseases, arteriosclerosis,
hypoglycaemia, diabetes, delayed scarring, sterility, hyperthyroidism,
alternating character.
• Zinc/iron; Consequences: delayed scarring, white patches
on the nails.
• Zinc/magnesium; Consequences: arteriosclerosis, diabetes,
sterility, impotence,
• Zinc/manganese: Excess of manganese or lack of zinc; Consequences:
arteriosclerosis, diabetes, sterility, impotence and.
What inhibits their absorbtion from food?
Ideally, if we have a varied diet we should be able to obtain all
our nutritionally requirements from food. However, as mentioned
earlier, the trace elements are very reactive which means that during
the process of digestion they can become attached to other nutrients
and not find their way to the cells which need them. Also if the
digestive system is not working efficiently then the trace elements
might not be assimilated through the digestive tract.
The Bioligo complexes are absorbed under the tongue where they
go straight into the blood stream bypassing the digestive system.
Why are some elements not used?
Note these are not all trace elements which appear in our body
but CRAO only uses those which have been proven beyond all doubt
to be safe to use in the body and does not put the functioning of
the body out of balance.

Why complexes?
The body has evolved to absorb trace elements and, in fact, the
majority of its nutrients from food. Therefore it is important that
any complexes mimics the combination found in food in order that
the synergy is correct. So the CRAO developed eighteen complexes
which are similar to the balance found in nature and are chemically
balanced. Originally these complexes were given the names of plants
where these combinations of trace elements could be found and the
plant extracts were added to the complexes. However the active ingredients
are the trace elements.
Medicines or foods?
Trace elements in this context are food supplements as they are
totally biological – you are not putting anything alien into
the body and they are in the format that is found in food.
• Oligotherapy does not use anything that is foreign to the
body – herbal remedies and supplements have to be broken down
by the digestive system to release their active ingredients in the
correct form to be absorbed. This often takes too long to be effective
at cellular level and this very process can sometimes produce harmful
side effects.
