Much of my information comes from my company listening in on conference
calls and asking the doctors that work for the company my numerous and often
skeptical questions. However long before this experience I've been researching
many different sources and reviewing many opinions from Medical Doctors,
Osteopaths, Naturopaths and Nutritionists, and so on and assume many of you
who
must be health conscious have too . One of the things I point to is how
studies
HAVE been done for the past decades in regards to the level of chromium in
our blood, a trace mineral that regulates blood sugar among other things. All
but one test showed steady decline and the immediate tests afterwards showed
continued decline. I'd have to find the study/article but I could show you the
dramatic results that help show that clearly even if the 1936 testing was
small in scope or even flawed, there is no way that our general produce has
gotten better in mineral content! We fertilize our soils with NPK primarily
and
have for about one hundred years. This is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Farmers use what is necessary for their yield. This is only two minerals,
phosphorus and potassium that are being ''reimbursed''. No real effort can be
given to trace minerals, or even macro-minerals like calcium. Our soils as far
as big time farms are being slowly depleted of ALL minerals but what is in
NPK. Those two minerals and nitrogen are the only nourishment necessary to get
your apples and Idaho Potatoes and corn from Ohio, etc. Sure sometimes they
use Boric acid [Boron], etc. in small amounts or you find smaller farms or
personal farms that have some good methods [hopefully like mine] and help a
little bit, but this doesn't really help the majority using standard cheap,
inorganic produce from big company farms concerned with patents of Genetically
engineered products and getting as much yield for as little resources [money]
as possible. And the small farms really don't ever come close to complete soil
nourishment even with good methods IMO. So no matter what pick of great
looking and abundant produce you have in a country ''seemingly'' the richest
in
food quality and I would think obviously in quantity you are going to be
faced with ever depleted soils. This is what those of us witnessing this slow
catastrophe have been saying for years. Getting the appropriate ratio and
optimal amount of all vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acids is quite
frankly impossible unless you are in the severe minority of people who have
near
perfect diets. As for the minerals? Your apples and bush beans and onions
DON'T MAKE MINERALS. Plants don't make minerals. If you can imagine given this
view how we've improved anything but our caloric intake and protein
availability since 1936 for the average American by depleting our soils and
converting
to high usage of vitamin and mineral depleting diets [i.e. soda pop, table
sugar, High fructose corn syrup, Red Bull, Ramen Noodles and Campbell's MSG
gumbo] than you have quite an imagination. I can't picture it myself though.
As
far as I'm concerned, being robbed of selenium alone has contributed more to
death and degeneration in America by disease- as well as some supposedly
genetic diseases- than our FDA or AMA would ever admit no matter how
compelling
the evidence. This is my opinion once again, and I'm not a doctor, a scientist
or an actor. So hey you know.
