I have a book titled, The healing power of minerals, by Paul Bergner. ISBN 0-7615-1021-4. On one page there is a chart showing the mineral content of apples in 1914 (regular, commercial apples, bought at the store and brought back to the lab to test). Next to it is another chart showing the mineral content of apples in 1992, when this book was written. You would need to eat 26 1992 apples to equal the mineral content of one 1914 apple. Thats 4% of the minerals today that an apple (or whatever food) had in 1914! Except that this is not really true. Some of the minerals found in the 1914 apple could not be detected in a 1992 apple. They just werent there. So you might think, yes, I should eat only organic, where the soil hasnt been stripped of its minerals. Dr. Carey Reams talked about the tendency of the soil to equalize. He said that, if you had a commercial farmer using standard modern farming techniques, and a few mile away an organic farmer using compost and horse/cow/chicken manure on his soil, the commercial farmers land would leach the minerals from the organic farmers land. Nature abhors a vacuum. Dr. Reams said that the commercial farmlands of North America were leaching/stripping the minerals from the rest of the continent. It is no longer possible, no matter how radical you eat, to get the nutrients you need from foods alone.
