MALARIA FOOD FORTIFICATION

Anti-Malaria Cereal

Anti-Malaria Cereal - is a pre-cooked, well balanced combination of vitamins and minerals (including trace elements such as Selenium), carbohydrates, protein and cereal fat that work together in a synergistic manner to maximise nutrient intake on a daily basis. Anti-Malaria Cereal is constituted as an instant cereal and has a nutritional density, 29 times that of refined maize.

Anti-Malaria Cereal is unique in it’s design, with specific Albion Chelated minerals included at optimum dosage levels, together with “state of the art” processing techniques used to cook cereal grains, preserve the cereal fats (eliminating rancidity) whilst still retaining the natural nutrients.
Anti-Malaria Cereal is an energy boosting vitamin and mineral enriched cereal, which ensures that the nutrient intake is more than sufficient to supply more than the body’s daily requirement, thus allowing excess nutrients to be stored in the bone marrow and liver.

With Anti-Malaria Cereal we can show scientifically that recipients will have optimal usage for body uptake of nutrients, which will correct and prevent the known nutrient deficiencies and build body stores. When there are no body stores, the daily utilization needs will be drawn from else where, and the body will be robbed of whatever stores they have. i.e. Iron will be taken from muscle tissue, Zinc extracted from bones and Calcium from both bones and muscle and not from the bone marrow or liver, where surplus stores are normally housed. This is tragic because at cellular level, the cells are compromised and infections set in earlier and easier. Bone marrow and the liver, the two vessels that accumulate body stores, allow for continued growth even when there is a lapse in correct feeding, curtailing malnutrition and stunted growth.

Health improvements (especially children, frail adults & the elderly)
Anti-Malaria Cereal, if consumed daily, will eliminate the known nutrient deficiencies as confirmed by the National Food Consumption Survey, i.e. Iron, zinc, and vitamin A deficiency, together with protein and a list of other nutrients, including vital trace elements. All this builds a healthy generation. Children will not be iron deficient (Iron ferrochel), taking away the lethargic feeling, concentration in school improves, mental and fine motor co-ordination is greatly enhanced, together with Bailey test scores and physical condition is not handicapped.

Zinc deficiency will assist with the liberation of vitamin A and children will have the opportunity of building stronger immune systems.
Vitamin A deficiency will be greatly reduced, assisting in the maintaining of the mucosal tissues in the body, arresting colds and flu, bronchial infections and of course measles. Improved vitamin A intake also assists with a reduction in iron deficiency.
In malnutrition, especially protein malnutrition, there is a reversible morphological change in the small intestine (Jejunum), which decreases the absorption area
(Kwashiorkor, Marasmus, Oedema etc.)

Anti-Malaria Cereal has been designed to ensure that the correct protein, carbohydrates, fats and fibre are given in the correct proportions to allow the intestine to adjust in a few days to be able to absorb the protein and then of course the surface area in the jejunum increases proportionately, allowing for higher absorption and metabolism of the needed nutrients and anti malaria prophylactic.
Albion Laboratories is the largest manufacturer of Amino Acid Chelated¹ minerals for human application. These minerals have the highest bioavailability and safety margins of all known mineral compounds in the world, and were for those reasons selected for inclusion in Anti-Malaria Cereal.

25g portions (2 heaped table spoons) of Anti-Malaria Cereal are sufficient to sustain infants, keep their tummies full, and ensure that they receive more nutrients than those being utilized daily by their little bodies, allowing stores to built up in their bone marrow and liver. This means that if, over the weekends and school holidays, their diet is not what it should be, then their bodies would draw the required nutrients from those stored in the bone marrow and liver, and not from the muscle tissue and from the bones themselves, which is the cause of retarded growth and stunting.
With a number of infants suffering from malnutrition, and/ or having compromised immune systems, they would need the portions to be increased to (3 or 4 heaped table spoons 37.5g or 50g) in order to replenish lost nutrients and to promote weight gain.

Benefits to the children.
Will have full tummies every day. Anti-Malaria Cereal expands in their tummies, dependant on liquid intake during the day, thus alleviating hunger, the worst depressant in every day life. Increased energy levels, better concentration and a sense of well-being, makes it easier for the children to cope with everyday schooling.
The physical changes will be noted by the sparkle in their eyes, an abundance of energy, laughter and above all, the absence of listlessness, morbidity and runny noses.
Their complexions change and the kids in fact, will radiate good health.

Also knowing :-
That their immune systems are being enhanced in order to help fight off opportunistic diseases. [We, unfortunately, cannot prevent the HIV/AIDS virus from spreading – at this stage, the first line of defense, until a cure is found, is proper nutrition. The same applies for malaria. Those with a strong immune system and are HIV positive, can lead a normal life due to the fact that the viruses are being held at bay, due to their immune system being maintained at optimum levels through proper nutrition.]
Anti-Malaria Cereal is the proper nutrition, all in one, affordable, easy to prepare and delicious. Every person in poor communities should have a proper meal at least once a day, which is so important.

Clinical Trials anti-Malarial Cereal
A pressing issue at present is the need for proper clinical trials . Trials should commence at a rural area where access to food and anti-malaria medicines and nets is a major problem. Trials will entail supplying a daily dietary supplement combo pack (placebo anti-malaria prophylactics) to all clinical volunteers. Half of these volunteers will get the required Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vital minerals, trace elements as well as a dose of anti-malarial prophylactic. (See RDA Chart).

Anti-Malarial Cereal is a well balanced, highly enriched food fortification developed for poor communities living under the bread-line. The reason behind the development is to supply poor communities with vital food supplies to counteract malnutrition and prevent malaria. Millions of children are suffering from starvation and the aim is to educate about the symptoms of Kwashiorkor caused by kilojoules and mineral deficiency, which leads to water retention. A more dangerous starvation-related illness is Marasmus. Children who are malnourished are more susceptible to diseases and children with HIV/Aids are more likely to die quickly if weakened by hunger.
FOOD AGAINST DISEASES hopes to distribute Anti-Malarial Cereal to remote villages.

[By definition a Chelate¹ is formed when two or more separate and unique portions of the same legand molecule, which are in this instance, amino acids (protein/nitrogen), form co-ordinate covalent and ionic bonds with the same atom of metal.] In layman’s language:- Chelated means that minerals are wrapped in amino acids (protein/nitrogen) for two reasons:- To prevent mineral-to-mineral antagonism. Chelates are void of salts and are neutral, having no positive or negative electo-magnetic charges, making it impossible for interference from other minerals during absorption, hence the high bio-availability. (“me too products” have no access to Chelated minerals, therefore the inorganic electo-magnetically charged minerals used, interact on contact, turning the minerals into salts, hence the low absorption of stated minerals, yielding poor results.)
Chelated minerals are minerals coated with protein/nitrogen, and are identified as amino acids (essential building blocks) by the body and are absorbed first, through the jejunum, with a bio-availability of stated mineral of up to 95%, hence the unbelievable results attained.

To succeed in having a high bio-available nutrient source of compounds, is to eliminate all possibilities of nutrient competition and antagonism in the intestine together with the food matrix as the carrier, to allow the body’s uptake of these nutrients to be optimal. (Albion Chelated Minerals)

We know that “me too products” do not contain Amino Acid Chelated Minerals, thus they are using inorganic minerals, which naturally compete for similar absorptive pathways in the intestine, for example:- a high dosage level of Calcium will inhibit a low dosage level of iron for absorption, rendering iron practically useless. Mineral antagonism form inorganic salts in the intestine, as follows:-


Calcium and Potassium. Calcium and Iron, Calcium and Magnesium.
Copper and Zinc, Copper and Molybdenum, Manganese and Zinc.
Calcium and Phosphorous, Aluminium and Phosphorous,
Magnesium and Phosphorous, Potassium and Sodium

The above, to name a few of the minerals that compete with each other for absorptive pathways in the intestine
(Ref: Intestinal Absorption of Metal Ions and Chelates H. DeWyane Ashmead, Ph. D, Darrel J. Graff, Ph, D, Harvey H. Ashmead, Ph, D, Charles C Thomas. Publisher 1985 ISBN 0 398 05074 3)

Inorganic iron has a bio-availability factor of 2% in a high phytate diet such as maize (scientifically proven, and published in peer reviewed journals) and this is not taking the antagonism of Calcium and Iron in to account, where the mean daily absorbed needs of iron is 1.2mg a day. Where there is a higher level of Copper per serving size, and that Zinc and Copper mutually interfere with each other’s absorption, could correct one deficiency, while creating another deficiency (Ref; Viteri F et al 1975).
