Can an Apple a Day Keep the Doctor Away?
Can an Apple a Day Keep the Doctor Away?

Nutrients are what the human body utilizes to maintain and build healthy organs, cells, tissues, bones, etc. Everything that appears in nature has been provided for our health and almost always in the form that is most beneficial to us. Proper nutrition is what makes every function of the body possible, mental, hormonal, enzymatic, metabolic, nervous and physical. Healing can not occur without good nutrition, vitamins and minerals.

One of today's most common misconceptions is that America is a well-nourished nation. Malnutrition can stem from an array of sources. Contaminated soil; soil lacking basic minerals; inappropriate use of chemical fertilizers; improper use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides; improper harvesting or food processing and improper storage.

A government study proved that 99% of the population are deficient in essential vitamins and minerals, and this was published in 1936 ! Demineralization of the soil and mineral deficiencies in humans and animals have escalated to such a degree that they may have catastrophic effects on the quality of health.

In the future, we will not be able to rely on anymore on our premise that the consumption of a varied balanced diet will provide all the essential trace elements, because such a diet will be very difficult to obtain for millions of people. - Dr. Walter Mertz, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, 1977.

You've Been Brainwashed

A new era began in medicine with the patented synthetic chemicals making the drug companies very wealthy. Major pharmaceutical companies won't sell anything they cannot patent, and anything that occurs in nature can't be patented.1 Thus, you won't find these companies marketing something they cannot control.

Medicinal therapy however is very profitable and billions of dollars are spent on advertising these drugs. A retrospective study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed 538 studies involving "the relationship between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry and its representatives, and its impact on the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of physicians." Ultimately, 29 studies were analyzed and revealed some disturbing results:2

More than $11 billion is spent each year by pharmaceutical companies in promotion and marketing, $5 billion of which goes to sales representatives," the study's author pointed out. "It has been estimated that $8,000 to $13,000 is spent per year on each physician." The 'interactions' between drug company representatives and medical physicians begin in medical school and continue at a rate of "about four times per month."

That equates to billions of dollars spent on treating a disease or problem rather than in preventing it. And because most people judge their health based on symptoms, this is a serious epidemic. Symptoms are the last warning sign that something is wrong!

"All the medical research and billions of dollars spent to find cures have not altered the advance of killer diseases.  Perhaps it is because our soils are still mineral-deficient and our bodies are constantly bombarded with toxins found in the foods we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. A body that is not receiving optimum nutrition cannot deal effectively with these toxins that poison and weaken the immune system. We must look to the full spectrum of supplementation to prevent aging, disease, and to experience optimum health." - Tonita d"raye
