Dr Linus Pauling...winner of 2 Noble Prizes, stated:
"You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency"

Some Points To Consider?

1) Due to soil depletion and food processing we are not getting the minerals from our food like we did 50-100 years ago.

2) Vitamins are required for every biochemical activity of the body, but they can't function without the presence of minerals. All nutrients such as vitamins, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, oils, etc, require minerals for activity.

3) All bodily processes depend on the action and interaction of minerals.

4) The body must maintain an adequate supply of minerals to maintain its balance between internal and external pressures (called osmotic equilibrium) of the body cells. This state must be maintained for normal cellular function and continued youthful health. (Did we not come from minerals?)

5) Minerals are a more important of a supplement than vitamins because vitamins can be synthesized by living matter, but minerals cannot!

6) Minerals are the catalysts that make enzyme functions possible. They are also essential for antioxidant-enzyme function. Plant-derived minerals combined with enzymes make an alkaline detoxifying agent which neutralizes the acid metabolic byproducts of the cells and other toxic conditions within the body and prepares them for elimination.

7) Hormonal secretions of the glands are dependent on mineral stimulation and the acid-alkaline balance (ph) of the tissue fluid is controlled by minerals.

8) All body elements function synergistically. If there is just one mineral shortage, the balance of the entire body can be thrown off. One deficiency can render other nutrients either useless or inefficient.

9) Minerals are justified as a supplement to the everyday diet when you consider that many of the fruits and vegetables that are harvested today, continue to be grown in mineral deficient soils encouraged only by the use of petrochemicals and synthetic fertilizers.

10) Minerals are important to many parts of the body. They are an important part of the bones. They maintain the body's fluid balance. They are parts of other important compounds, such as iron in blood, and iodine, which is a part of the thyroid hormone.

11) The mineral content of certain foods is influenced by the mineral content of the soil in which the foods are grown.

There are 7 major/minor minerals and many trace minerals. The most commonly known ones are listed below:

We feed our plants with minerals, using "Miracle-Gro™"! These are the minerals:

If this is what minerals can do for plants then what can minerals
do for us...If we are DEFICIENT of some minerals?
