“You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”
- Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner
“Sick soils mean sick plants, sick animals and sick people.”
Soil in the US has become depleted and deficient in nutrients. It has been known since 1936 that we are eating an empty harvest.
“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 contain enough of certain needed minerals, are starving us - no matter how much of them we eat!”
“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!”

Scientific studies show that there has been a dramatic reduction or elimination of critical and essential minerals from fields due to over harvesting, chemical pollution, pesticides and other harmful farming practices; stripping soils of minerals. Mineral deficiencies in the diet have been identified as the cause of many modern diseases including cancer, heart disease and obesity.
The following chart clearly shows the correlation between decreasing soil borne minerals coincidental with the increase of mineral deficient disease in people.
