MINERALS
"You can trace every sickness, every disease and every
ailment to a mineral deficiency." - Dr. Linus Pauling
Vitamins Are Useless Without Minerals
Modern agricultural practices jeopardize our health for profit. To feed an ever expanding population our
farming techniques use the soil over and over for high yield mass production. This depletes the soil, thus the
crops of vital essential elements. U.S. farmers are reliant upon synthetic petroleum-based fertilizers,
approved by the government to artificially replenish the soil with nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium
(NPK); only three essential elements. The result, the soil is deprived of naturally occurring bacteria that
produce nitrogen. In combination with leaching from acid rain and irrigation, overuse of the land, and
chemical fertilizers, deteriorates the level of nutrients in our soil. As a result, most of the food grown is
deficient in trace mineral elements. The few trace mineral elements that remain are removed during
processing.
Numerous independent and governmental studies have shown that there is a relationship between human
malnutrition and the depletion of trace elements in soil. According to the US Department of Agriculture
(USDA), we would have to eat 75 bowls of spinach in order to get the same amount of iron as one bowl
eaten in 1948. As a result, malnutrition exists in most US citizens, and possibly explains why we are an
obese society where the body craves more food in an effort to satisfy vitamin and mineral needs. To slow
(and eventually reverse) this malnutrition trend and degenerative diseases, we need to look more closely at
nature/earth resources and learn to utilize these precious life giving nutrients as preventive health measures.
It becomes increasingly evident when studying the relationship of minerals to human health that keeping the
level of minerals in balance in every tissue, fluid, cell and organ, in the human body may be the key to
maintaining human health. Racheal Carson, in her book entitled In The Sea Around Us recognized and
wrote indisputably that:
". . .Fish, amphibian, and reptile, warm-blooded bird and mammal - each of us carries in our veins a salty
stream in which the elements are combined in almost the same proportions as in sea water. This is our
inheritance from the day, untold millions of years ago, when a remote ancestor, having progressed from the
one-celled to the many celled stage, first developed a circulatory system in which the fluid was merely the
water of the sea. In the same way, our lime-hardened skeletons are a heritage from the calcium-rich ocean
of Cambrian time. Even the protoplasm that streams within each cell of our bodies has the chemical
structure impressed upon living matter when the first simple creatures were brought forth in the ancient sea.

The FDA RDA lists 18 to 19 minerals. However, the following are a listing of naturally occurring minerals in
sea water and the earth crust that provides a rich source of needed minerals for human physiological needs.

On January 17, 1912, a French scientist, Dr. Alexis Carrel kept a chicken heart alive and growing for over 27
years by immersing it in a nutrient rich saline solution. Sea Salt, i.e., isotonic seawater. Dr. Carrel voluntarily
ended the experiment after a third of a century, having proven that living cells can have physical immortality.

The importance of minerals and their impact on enzymatic processes in the human body cannot be
overstated as it is unknown. Man cannot duplicate the intricacies of sea water, a complex protein and mineral
soup. For instance, what we know so far is that zinc has an effect on over 200 enzymatic processes in the
body and; magnesium plays a role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body, many of which are directly
related to cardiovascular health. What is evident is that the body’s enzymatic processes are too complex and
far too numerous for man to comprehend in this day and age, where it has take mother earth millions of
years to figure it out for us. Also, see the writings of Dr. Hans A. Nieper, who is remembered chiefly for his
work with mineral supplements as treatments for cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular
problems. He was consulted by the well to do of society, including Former President Ronald Reagan, but his
treatments were dismissed as quackery to the general public. Patients seeking his assistance cam from all
continents. Internationally, he has become one of the best-known physicians in the fields of cancerous
diseases, multiple sclerosis, mineral and electrolyte metabolism, aging, and the prevention of cardiac
disease.
Whether you believe in creation or evolution is of no moment, as it is fact that: no two substances in the Bible
are mentioned more than water and salt, and; salinity of the water outside the cells in our bodies is the same
as the ocean/sea.
These minerals can be obtained simply by replacing your regular toxic table salt with a quality sea salt.
http://www.curezone.com/foods/saltcure.asp and healthfree.com/celtic sea salt. Please add salt after you
have cooked your meals and it has cooled to less than 118 degrees to retain the mineral content.
You be the judge. Have you noticed each generation of Americans gets weaker and weaker: children are
born with all types of allergies and birth defects; we are developing degenerative diseases earlier; woman
are going through menopause earlier; men andropause, have less testosterone, sperm and are becoming
less virile than men of yesteryear; the US is losing big time in world athletic events, etc. etc. See men low
sperm count. abcnews ReproductiveHealth ; Google US males lower sperm count. Hmmm… sounds like
Dr. Pottenger’s cat nutrition study and it’s effect upon generations of species doesn’t it. If it quacks and looks
like a duck, it is a duck people.
