Naturopathic physician Peter Glidden began by stating that humans are genetically designed to live to the age of 120 years, if we're healthy. The most important issue to Glidden is to keep your body supplied with plenty of minerals. As an example he related how cattle ranchers provide plenty of minerals in feed while cattle are growing and then stop about four months before they sell the animal in order to get the cow to eat much more. Since the cow is trying to get the nutrients it needs, it will eat much more and therefore fatten itself for market.

"You can trace every chronic disease to mineral deficiency" Glidden said. He said that pesticides and herbicides kill the bacteria in the soil that allow plants to absorb them, so that most fruits and vegetables are lacking in many essential minerals. As for the seeming rise of gluten intolerance, Glidden said the real issue is that gluten inhibits absorption of nutritional elements. He believes that best way to increase health and longevity is to be careful about the source of your food and to add pure supplements to your diet. Glidden also cautioned listeners with his opinion that "your doctor is not trained in health care, he is trained in disease management."
