Let food be your medicine

“Let food be your medicine”

-- Hippocrates, father of medicine

Dr. Linus Pauling (1901 – 1994), brilliant scientist and winner of two Nobel Prizes stated:

“You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”



In 1936, Rex Beach presented document #264 to the US Senate, which discussed Dr. Charles Northen’s research on the prevalent mineral depletion of America ’s soil. At that time, North America’s soils were estimated to be hugely lacking in mineral content and 99% of Americans were considered mineral deficient.


Dr. Northen concluded, “Healthy plants mean healthy people. We can’t raise a strong race on a weak soil.”


Studies today confirm Dr. Northen’s conclusion that the mineral content of soil does in fact affect the mineral content of the food grown in it.


Unfortunately, 68 years later, little has been done to better the mineral content of North America ’s soil. The 1992 Earth Summit soil mineral depletion report showed soil depletion in North America to be at 85 percent, the highest in the world.


Really, one might ask “just how important are minerals to maintain health in the human body?” The answer: absolutely critical.

The short term solution is:

1) to ingest organic mineral and trace mineral supplements with amino acids, and

2) vote with your dollars (choose food wisely).
