I cannot believe what Washington is trying to shove down our throats in the name of health care reform. In every way it provides less care, less options, less treatments, rationing, longer waits, fewer procedures, costs more, forcing public funded abortion, unionizing 20% of our economy to buy votes, dictating what treatments you can receive, providing health care to non-citizens on our dime, they can kick you out of their program if you disagree with them and on and on and on…
One of the few with some common sense
Why do we have to trash what is working for 85% of Americans in order to cover the 15% that don’t have health insurance? I don’t recall anywhere in the Constitution that the federal government is required to provide anything but security for this nation. That being said, there are better options than taking away from the mass majority to provide for the minority of uninsured – especially those that do not work because they choose not to.
Why has congress opted out of this program if it is so wonderful? It is good enough for everyone but them. Even President Obama says he would not participate in this socialized medicine program. Call it what it is, Socialized medicine. Look how well it is working in Canada and the UK. Panels that determine what your life is worth and whether you get life saving treatment or not.
Did I mention these socialized programs are going broke? What then? Where are we going to come up with doctors for 46 million additional people? Who would want to become a doctor when the government decides to save health care dollars by limiting your salary (it is in the plan).
Don’t allow this administration to take away ANOTHER right from you. We are losing our rights at an unprecedented rate in the history of the United States of America. Take a stand for your health care freedom and all your freedoms (at least the one’s that are left).
Health secrets – what are they and why are they secret? Actually they are not secret at all, just not well known. Even most medical doctors lack the knowledge to obtaining and maintaining good health. It is not taught in medical school or their other college courses. It is not taught in our public schools so how would we know how to obtain optimum health? The knowledge is not provided by any government agency, how would one know?
Yes the government and other health related agencies push their agendas and mediocre at best health tips and advice. The food pyramid is a perfect example of bad information. Recently revised food pyramid pushes carbohydrates, tells people to shy away from meats and fats which are essential to good health (sorry vegetarians – you are operating under bad knowledge). Too many carbs are bad. Notice how we are getting fatter and heart disease, cancer and diabetes is growing?
How many times have they retracted their statements on health? Eggs are bad – nope eggs are good, butter and lard are bad, use margarine and vegetable oil – wait, margarine and vegetable oil are hydrogenated oil / trans-fat – causes inflammation clogs your arteries and veins. Dairy must be pasteurized and homogenized(per FDA) – changing the milk into Franken-proteins which wreak havoc on our digestive systems and bodies – not to mention the antibiotics and hormones pumped into the cows. Milk is not even a good source of absorbable calcium. This “health knowledge” is pushed by whoever funds the study (profit or control is the motive) – not your best interest.
With our ever increasing knowledge of health, why the increase in allergies, heart disease, digestive problems, diabetes, autism, ADHD, depression, anxiety… Why the need for drugs which only treat symptoms, they don’t fix a thing. Ever look at the over the counter drugs in the grocery store? At least an entire isle is set aside for heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, pain, female issues, allergies, colds, coughs – the list goes on and on. There is more money in treating symptoms – if you cure the illness or affliction, you are no longer a customer.
What are Health Secrets?
Genuine health tips that work. Here are the building blocks of good health:
Nutrition – Our bodies require nutrients to function properly
Nutrition – protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fiber and many more are all required for optimal health. Like a recipe, 1 missing ingredient and the dish is not as good – same with your health. Nutrition from our food is the best source if you can find or afford organically grown fruits and vegetables, organically raised, grass fed livestock and chickens… Natural based nutritional supplementation must fill in the gaps.
Exercise – Our bodies need to move
Blood circulation, lymph movement, digestion and detoxification are all improved with exercise. Compare it to a car that hasn’t moved in some time – seals dry out, fluids break down, corrosion all occur without movement.
Toxins – Removal of the unnatural poisons in our body that man has created
Man has created over 70,000 chemicals, many of which are unhealthy, causing disease, inflammation, DNA damage and cellular death. These toxins are consumed in the air we breath, water and food we consume and every other un-natural product we consume, bath in or put upon our body.
Pathogens – Removal of bad germs, viruses, fungus, yeasts and parasites
This may be the one exception where a drug can cure rather than just mask the symptoms although there are many effective natural alternatives to drugs. Notice I said bad germs / bacteria, our digestive system and immune systems require “good bacteria” in our gut to assimilate nutrition from our food and displace or kill bad bacteria, yeasts, food poisoning… The good bacteria in our gut is said to comprise 80% of our immune function.
Mindset – Positive attitude, relieve stress, promote happiness, have purpose
Our minds are very powerful influences on our health. Psychosomatic illnesses are negative manifestations of our thoughts/mindset and are very real. A strong will to survive, abundant happiness and positive thinking go far in maintaining health and relieving stress – another killer.
Genuine Health
To have genuine health you must educate yourself in the areas of natural health and self improvement. Don’t fall for every fad or “miracle supplement” out there but filter it with common sense and more natural health information. There is a lot of good information out there and a lot of crap. A good all around natural health website to visit is Mercola.com. There are many good ones out there, some require subscriptions. I have 7 natural health subscriptions to various print and online information websites. For me, it has improved my health immensely and is well worth it. Read some books, go online and find some health secrets.
Reversing heart disease is possible. One must return the body to the natural / normal healthy state instead of the diseased state it has become. It takes years to achieve the diseased state and will take some time to recover natural health. Pharmaceutical drugs such as, statins or blood thinners DO NOT help to achieve health – they actually adversely affect your health. More and more studies are coming out disputing the effectiveness of statins for prolonging life. Statins (and all pharmaceuticals) actually destroy a bodies healthy state, adversely affecting all bodily systems and balance. Statins deplete Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 levels essential to a healthy heart.
The Cause of Heart Disease
Inflammation, not cholesterol is the main cause of heart disease. Inflammation is the body’s reaction to injury, free radicals or illness. It’s purpose is to concentrate blood flow to mobilize the immune system to fight bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungus or any invader of the body or concentrate the body’ s healing ability to an injured area. There are many sources of inflamation that contribute to heart disease.
Fibrin is produced in the body to initiate healing. Scabs and scar tissue are made of fibrin. Fibrin seals off an injured area to prevent bleeding and initiate the repair of damaged tissues. When fibrin’s job is done, but the fibrin does not disolve, this contributes to sustained inflamation.
Cholesterol is one of the body’s tools for healing (good thing). It is when cholesterol is oxidized by free radicals and/or calcified (hardened with the wrong form of calcium in the bloodstream) that becomes a problem. Omega 6 oils contribute to inflamation and cholesterol plaque build-up.
Free Radicals and Heart Disease
Free radicals are unbalanced molecules (short of an electron) that attempt to achieve balance by stealing electrons from other molecules (your cells). This causes oxidation (same as rust) to cells of the body causing the cells to be damaged (less than perfect). When the lining of the arteries are damaged by free radicals in the blood, the body attempts to repair the artery with a cholesterol patch. As free radicals continue robbing electrons now from the cholesterol patches, they too become damaged and this sets the cycle of atherosclerosis.
Free radicals can be controlled with anti-oxidants. White tea contains catechins, quercetan, kaempferol, chlorogenic acid, theanine, theobromine and theophylline which are potent antioxidants and/or fight inflammation (white tea contains the least amount of flouride and aluminum found in all teas – white, green or black teas). Many vitamins fight free radicals and have other benefits for heart health. Heart healthy vitamins include A, B, C, D, E and K – yes, that is every vitamin, has heart health aspects to itself (natural form vitamins only – not the big name useless chemical crap).
Magnesium and CoQ10 is especially crucial to heart health. Your heart needs enormous amounts of energy to function properly – and CoQ10 is its main power supply. Consider this: if your heart’s CoQ10 levels were to decline by 75 percent, it would stop beating. Statins deplete CoQ10 from the heart – very bad thing.
Omega-3 fatty acids and specifically the lipid resolvin E1 component of fish oils (omega 3s) has a powerful natural anti-inflamatory function in the human body. The lipid inhibited the migration of particular human immune cells and dramatically reduced inflammation. This anti-inflamitory action is highly beneficial to many diseases, especially auto-immune diseases.
Avoid drinking and bathing in chlorinated water. Chlorine is a strong free radical source and has many negative health issues related to it. Showering in chlorinated water is worse than drinking it. When showering, the entire skin’s surface and the lungs are exposed to the chlorine in the water and as a gas.
Avoid unhealthy oils and fats – imbibe in the healthy oils and fats. Unhealthy Fats
* Omega-6 oils – corn, sunflower, canola, soybean, peanut and safflower – omega-6 is not unhealthy, it is way out of proportion with the healthy balance of omega-3 / omega-6 / omega-9 oil ratios
* Trans-fatty acids – margarine, Miracle Whip and other partially hydrogenated oils
Healthy Fats
* Omega-3 fats – flaxseed, Chia / Salba seed, eggs, fish oil and DHA & EPA
* Extra virgin olive oil
* Extra virgin coconut oil
* GLA – Gamma-linolenic acid – borage oil
* CLA – Conjugated linolenic acid
Heart Nutrition
The heart, like every other organ or tissue, down to the cellular level, requires nutrition for proper functioning and repair. In addition to a natural multi-vitamin and multi-mineral, high levels of the amino acid L-Arginine is extremely beneficial with a lesser quantity of the amino acid citrulline. These amino acids increase growth hormone release, relax arterial walls for blood pressure relief (via NO – Nitric Oxide) and a side benefit of being a natural ED (erectile dysfunction) drugless option. OPC will counteract oxidation within the arteries preventing hardening of the arteries and preventing blockages. Heart Nutrition – Accel
Other heart healthy vitamins and supplements are vitamins C, D, E (8 subtypes: four tocopherols and four tocotrienols). E vitamins are designated as alpha, beta, gamma and delta for each type. Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 is an energy source for the heart. A person cannot live without this vital nutrient. Flavonoids – quercetin, hesperidin, luteolin and kaempferol can lower risk in heart patients.
Bacteria, Viruses and Heart Disease
Bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungus (and/or any foreign bodily invader) can cause damage to the lining of the arteries and set in motion the process of atherosclerosis. The same cycle occurs when the body attempts to repair the injury or scarring to the arterial walls. When my elderly mother has her teeth cleaned by the dentist, she is put on antibiotics 3 days before her teeth cleaning to prevent stress on her heart caused by bacteria being introduced into her blood from the teeth cleaning (common knowledge in the dental and medical fields – yet, you never hear it discussed as a factor in heart attacks) – myocardial infarction. Natural Anti-biotic/anti-viral/anti-fungal/anti-yeast Stress and Heart Disease
Stress can severely influence our body’s wellness and balance. In itself, it can unleash free radicals, hamper the body’s natural healing abilities and negatively affect every aspect of health. Stress robs the body of energy that should be used for healing and repair of the body and instead, contributes to damaging every system of the body. Stress unleashes adrenaline and cortisol (an adrenal steroid hormone) into the bloodstream producing the same “fight or flight” demands on the body as if your life were in imminent danger. Prolonged stress causes adrenal fatigue and weight gain, nervous system issues, depression, anxiety, ulcers… – all bad for one’s heart.
Stress Relief and Heart Disease
The ability to handle or control stress is vitally important to heart health and every aspect of total health. Mindset, a healthy outlook and healthy perception of outside factors as they apply to oneself is important. Many tools are helpful for stress relief and stress reduction. Exercise, yoga, deep breathing, meditation and bio-feedback are the most effective stress relief tools available.
A very effective stress relief tool I use is a hardware/software solution that connects to your PC and provides instant bio-feedback via a real EEG (electroencephalogram – brain wave meter). It is an easy to follow, guided session with proof (EEG readout) that it is working. It is based on leading edge science and human psychology for combating the effects of stress on the body , anxiety relief, success and achievement and works amazingly. Just hook it up and follow along – it is effortless, simple and produces positive results.
Enzymes are energized protein molecules that carry the body’s life force. They are involved in every action and reaction that occurs in every single function and cell of the body. We cannot live without enzymes. If we suffer from enzyme deficiency, our health deteriorates. Degenerative diseases are a direct result of insufficient enzyme levels. All other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and also hormones need enzymes to carry out their functions. Enzymes are the body’s labor force. The life energy of enzymes is what sets enzymes apart from all other nutrients.
Types of Enzymes
Enzymes fall into three basic catagories of enzymes:
1. Metabolic Enzymes – These reside in your body and their function is to build and repair cells and tissues. They are also a large part of our immune systems. Metabolic enzymes carry out the body’s work.
2. Food Enzymes – These enzymes reside in raw food (not cooked or processed). Food enzymes aid in the digestion and assimilation of the food’s nutrients. Heat of over 118 degrees fahrenheit will destroy live enzymes.
3. Digestive Enzymes – These enzymes assist in the breakdown of cooked (or dead) food. Cooked food has no live enzymes to assist in the breakdown of the dead food so the body must supply the enzymes. Digestive enzymes are limited in the body and if pushed beyond their reserves will borrow from the metabolic enzymes which sets the cycle for degenerative disease.
Diagram Human Digestive System
As you can see in the above diagram, The human digestive system is very complex. There are many parts with different functions that all contribute to the desired final result – complete digestion and absorbtion of the nutrients from the food we eat. With todays “modern” foods, it is obvious as to why we need to supplement with a digestive enzyme formula. This digestive system blend must contain at least, the 7 main digestive enzymes to ensure complete digestion and utilization of food nutrients. Without it, we are destined to suffer from digestive system problems. Why Supplement with Digestive Enzymes?
If you eat cooked or processed food, you need additional digestive enzymes. Our bodies were not designed to eat dead food. The act of eating dead food places an additional workload on the body’s stores of digestive enzymes and after some time, will be required to “borrow” from the body’s metabolic enzymes. By depleting the metabolic enzymes, you are now setting yourself up for degenerative diseases.
There are only two animals on earth that suffer from degenerative disease and premature death – mankind and our pets. This is a direct result of our “dead food” diets and digestive enzyme deficiency. Aside from cooking food, irradiation, pasturization (which is cooking = dead milk), processing and chemical food additives all destroy enzymes. You can see why our bodies cannot keep up with their repair and rebuild functions.
It is estimated 65 million Americans suffer from digestive problems. Antacids, laxatives, fiber, prescription and over the counter medications are used to mask the real problem – insufficent digestive enzymes and incomplete digestion of food. These products alone fill an entire isle in the grocery and drug stores. Antacids are actually the worst thing you can take as far as digestion of food. It neutrilizes your stomach acid which is an essential part of the digestion process. Now the body has to work even harder “trying” to breakdown the food in the intestines (food is supposed to be mostly broken down before it hits your intestines). Incomplete digestion causes many ailments further down the line (intestines) and affects the entire body’s health.
Seven Digestive Enzymes and What They Aid
1. Protease (digests proteins): anxiety, low blood sugar, kidney problems, water retention; depressed immunity, bacterial and viral infections, cancer, appendicitis, bone problems such as: osteoporosis, arthritis, and bone spurs.
2. Amylase (digests carbohydrates): skin problems (rashes, hives, herpes, canker sores), liver and gallbladder disease.
3. Lipase (digests fats): high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, spastic colon, and dizziness.
4. Cellulase (digests fiber): gas, bloating, acute food allergies, facial pain or paralysis, candidiasis (yeast infections).
5. Sucrase (digests sugars): lung problems, asthma, bronchitis, seizures, hyperactivity, mood swings, insomnia, depression, chronic diarrhea, and dizziness.
6. Lactase (digests dairy products): Relieve discomfort caused by lactose intolerance
7. Invertase (breaks down sugars): Splits sucrose into glucose and fructose – an acidic environment occurs without the action of Invertase.
In Europe, martial artists use enzymes to speed up recovery from injuries. On average, the recovery time is cut in half. An injury that would sideline an athlete for 2 weeks would now only take 1 week before they are healed! Enzymes are the “repairers” of the body. Enzymes taken on an empty stomach go straight to the blood to digest undigested food particles in the blood and tissues, repair tissues, attack parasites and more.
Natural nutrition supplements are the best form for your body. Our bodies were created to receive our nutrition from food. Unfortunately, today’s food is devoid of the nutritional levels they once had. Farmland soils are depleted of minerals. Modern farming methods destroyed the ecosystem of the soil. Microorganisms that assist the breakdown and absorption of soil nutrients to the plants root systems have been destroyed.
Man made vitamins (chemical form), while basically similar in atomic structure to the natural form, are missing the natural co-factors that accompany the natural form. A good example is, our bodies need salt. What we buy in stores as salt is actually highly refined into sodium chloride. Natural salt contains every mineral our bodies need. You can be sodium chloride toxic at the same time lacking all the naturally accompanying salt minerals. Not to mention the balance / lack of balance of minerals (especially sodium/potasium or magnesium/calcium balance).
The human body is an amazing creation of interdependent systems that performs millions and millions of functions (chemical, electrical, mechanical…). It is a self repairing machine if it has the required nutrients and is not compromised by toxins and pollution. It even has the ability to repair damaged DNA!
Unfortunately we live in a toxic environment and our food supply no longer provides all the nutrients we need.
Processed foods with man-made chemicals in the form of preservatives, artificial flavoring, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners and more is poisoning our bodies. This is adversely affecting every bodily function. The toxic chemicals in our food, water, air, in our homes, cars and workplaces is continuously assaulting our bodies. I wonder why there are so many “dis-eases”, “afflictions”, “conditions” that did not even exist a hundred years ago?
By providing our bodies with what is required, our bodies can repair themselves as they were divinely designed. I am going to provide a very basic description of the needed nutrients for vital wellness.
Macro-nutrients of our food are: proteins, carbohydrates and fats. I believe everyone has the basic concept of what each of these are and do. I will not go into explaining the functions of these here. All you need to know at this point is all three are required for fuel, growth and repair.
• Vitamins – Required for virtually every metabolic process in the human body – conversion of food to energy, bodily repair, growth… Vitamins for the most part must come from food or supplemental vitamins must be taken with food (the body can only produce a few vitamins of it’s own). Vitamin’s functions alone could (and does) comprise many books.
• Minerals – People know less about minerals than vitamins but they are every bit as important (you can not live without them). They are essentially the catalyst of just about every chemical reaction in all of the bodily systems. Minerals must be supplied through food and supplements as the body cannot make it’s own minerals (it can rob minerals from another part or system of the body – NOT GOOD). Minerals that the body can use are plant based and our soil is devoid of minerals therefore lacking in our food.
• Antioxidants – Anti-oxidants scavenge and reduce the rate of oxidation (burning or rusting). It does this by neutralizing free radicals that rob electrons from molecules. Certain vitamins, enzymes, phytonutrients, polyphenols, xanthones… are antioxidants.
• Phytonutrients – Less is known about phyto-nutrients but their importance is being proved every day. The FDA says they possess anti aging and cellular repair properties. Phytonutrients consist of many other classifications of nutrients, anthocyanidins, bioflavonoids, Flavanols, OPC, ellagitannins, Resveratrol, proanthocyanidins… Some of the beneficial properties that these amazing phytonutrients possess are – anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-mutagin, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor… Get the idea?
• Water – Water is probably next to oxygen in importance to the living body. The human body is mostly water. Our water supplies are polluted and even municipal water systems cannot remove all the toxins. Chlorine added to municipal water is estimated to cause 10,000 bladder cancer deaths each year. Chlorine is hard on our arteries and blamed for much of the arterial scarring and plaque buildup as a result. Most water is clustered too large to enter cells and therefore almost everyone is dehydrated at the cellular level. Greenwood Health Systems has a functional water product that corrects this problem.
It is called M-Powerment Water.
• Enzymes – Responsible for every single reaction in the body. Most enzymes come from food – problem is, cooking foods kills all enzymes. Processed foods are also totally devoid of enzymes. The digestion of food requires enzymes (which are lacking in our diets). If the enzymes required for digestion are lacking in our food, they are taken from our body’s store of metabolic enzymes (used for growth and repair). Most digestive problems are the result of the incomplete digestion of the food we eat. Heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion are common symptoms of lack of enzymes. There is a finite amount of metabolic enzymes in our body (pancreas and liver mainly) once completely depleted, our bodies rapidly deteriorate.
• Super foods – Superfoods are not a particular type of nutrient. Super foods are food sources in nature that contain extraordinary amounts of nutrients. Super foods can consist of all of the above nutrient catagories in one food source or a combination of many super-foods working together synergistically.
• Greenwood Health Systems carries several natural nutritional products that you will not find anywhere, that compares with potency, quality or price. A one time administrative fee of $30.00(Not paid by you – out of any commissions you may make – no out of pocket expense) and you have access to their products for up to 50% off. Your first order, you can buy 2 get one free. Check their ingredients and you will see they are superior to anything out there. The details of the products down to the vegi-caps (not animal based gelatin capsules) show how much went into the development of these products. If you have any questions, contact me and I will be happy to answer or get the answers for you.
• You can get the same Greenwood products above without having a monthly $40 autoship or the admin fee by going to this link (you will pay a bit more though).
In summary, today’s food is devoid of the nutrition it once contained due to farming methods used that have left our soils “dead”. Minerals have been used up and not replaced in our soils. Pesticides and herbicides have killed beneficial soil based organisms (bacteria, fungus / mycelium, worms and other symbiotic organisms) that assist in plants assimilating minerals and other nutrition from the soil. To achieve required levels of nutrition (far higher than the RDA which is actually the minimum requirements) we need nutrition supplements.
Vital wellness – the goal of this natural health and wellness website is to make people aware of natural health alternatives to drugs (prescription and over the counter). To assist in creating a healthy lifestyle using natural alternatives, stress relief and keeping closer to your body’s natural design. Our philosophy is – we only need to provide the body with what it requires and it will perform as it was divinely designed. We cannot improve upon it’s design. Vital wellness can be attained using this wellness resource site.
Why aren’t most people healthy?
Why does anyone need prescription drugs? Are people suffering from drug deficiencies? How did mankind get by without them for thousands of years? Do you know the majority of drugs are based on natural substances? Do you think man can out do God when it comes to providing healing solutions? Why are there hundreds if not thousands of “conditions” “diseases” and “afflictions”? Why are more and more people suffering from these “dis-eases”. Why are these diseases and conditions not being addressed by modern medicine? It is the result of the complete lack of nutrition in the majority of foods we eat, the toxic chemicals we are exposed to.
How I became interested in natural health and wellness
My father died at the age of 37 of a brain aneurysm. I suffered for many years from excruciating headaches and was looking for answers (I was extremely concerned). I came across what I believe was a probable nutritional factor for my father’s aneurysm. In the 1930’s, turkeys were dying prematurely at a rate of 50 percent from aneurysms. Because farming was the major industry, the government went on an all out mission to solve this problem. They discovered a copper deficiency in the diet of turkeys. Just one trace mineral requirement in their diet. From that point forward, they added copper to the turkey feed. SIMPLE SOLUTION – the correlation to human aneurysms was never made! (or released to the public) Obviously this is far from scientific proof, but this observation should open your eyes to the relationship of nutrition to health and wellness.
At the same time of the turkey study, it was stated as a known fact that America’s farmland soil was depleted of essential minerals for human health. The farming methods used exhausted the mineral content of the soil, so farmers began adding N,P,K to the soil. Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus. While these 3 nutrients will make plants grow, the human required minerals are still missing! If the soil is depleted, where do we get the required minerals for health? Supplementation or organically growing your own fruits and vegetables and grazing crops while adding all the required minerals back into the soil in the amounts required and bio-actively available to the crops (very difficult and expensive) are the only ways. Do you think the soil is better today than it was back in 1936? Besides the lack of minerals, living micro-organisms and fulvic acids – the soil has been polluted from the air, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and dumping!
Modern day mega farms are still only adding N, P & K to the soil (and pesticides and herbicides). The soil now is far worse off than it was back in 1936. Only organic farmers are concerned with the condition and health of the soil. To naturally treat or restore 1000 acres of topsoil would be a daunting task to say the least for a mega-farm. A side benefit of the health conscious organic craze is the family farmer can compete once again, at least in the organic market if they choose.
Senate Document No. 264, 1936
Senator Duncan Fletcher, Democrat of Florida, asked that this article be put into the Congressional Record. This senate document entry is based on the work of Dr. Charles Northen and specifically an article from Cosmopolitan Magazine back in 1936. The following is the beginning of the article about Dr. Northen written by journalist Rex Beach:
Modern Miracle Men
DR. Charles Northen, Who Builds Health from the Ground Up
“This quiet, unballyhooed pioneer and genius in the field of nutrition, demonstrates that countless human ills stem from the fact that impoverished soil of America no longer provides plant foods with the mineral elements essential to human nourishment and Health! To overcome this alarming condition, he doctors sick soils and, by seeming miracles, raises truly healthy and health-giving fruits and vegetables.”
By Rex Beach
Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until the depleted soils from which our foods come are brought into proper mineral balance! The alarming fact is that foods – fruits and vegetables and grains – now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed minerals, are starving us – no matter how much of them we eat!
This talk about minerals is novel and quite startling. In fact, a realization of the importance of minerals in food is so new that the textbooks on nutritional dietetics contain very little about it. Nevertheless, it is something that concerns all of us, and the further we delve into it the more startling it becomes. The full article (print it out once displayed)
I don’t know about you, but this seems way ahead of what modern doctors are taught as far as nutrition. If you can’t cut, radiate or drug the condition, it isn’t taught. Why do heart attack victims in the emergency room receive intervenous magnesium? Must be pretty important to heart health you think? Why aren’t we taught these things from our health providers? Must not be good for business, after all, this is disease management. The money stops if we are cured, especially if the cure is not an overpriced pharmaceutical drug – where’s the profit? (ok, just a personal opinion rant there – sorry)
