  1. While every "altie" already understands this, I felt I would allow the
    people
    who have yet to know. This is self explanatory (I believe).

    The reason that I, Jan, Carole, Tim Bolen and a host of others keep
    referring
    to a conspiracy for the drug companies, and therefore against good health,
    is
    the very fact that physicians and the shills deny most any value for herbs
    and
    supplements. Fundamental intelligence would reject this negative logic and
    begin
    to reject the proponents of such doctrine. Herbs and supplements offer good
    health, drugs offer continued illness with symptomatic relief and all drugs
    offer
    unwanted side effects.

    To say that our food supply is fine would insult most 11 year old children.
    We have
    been growing food on the same unrested land for decades. How would you
    account
    for the "fact" that we started using chemical fertilizers on farm land
    around 1945?
    If we grow and grow and grow, where do all the nutrients come from? If we
    use
    chemcal fertilizer, how many chemicals do they contain? Where did the
    chemical
    compounds come from?

    David Wright thinks there has been no soil deletion.

    Nutrient depletion in food would appear that the mineral content of many


    grains may be steadily decreasing. This situation has resulted largely from
    changing soil characteristics and fertilizer treatments. Horticultural and
    botanical studies confirm these problems with mineral depletion of soil.
    Drs. Stoff and Pellegrino emphasize the problems that we face with mineral
    depletion of vegetables. They state “vegetables in your local supermarket
    are not only twice as big and twice as expensive as those grown before the
    “green revolution” (the widespread use of synthetic fertilizers), but you’ll
    probably have to eat twice as many to get the same nutritional value”.
    Further, agriculture practices that are used to increase crop yields have
    been blamed as a indirect cause of nutrient deficiency in the population.
    Factors that can cause nutrient depletion include the strain of plant,
    climatic conditions, maturity of the plant etc. As a result of many people
    missing important elements in their diet one will highly benefit coral
    calcium to replace vital minerals and elements that are lost from our food
    chain.

    I think the markedly increased availability and freshness of vegetables and
    fruits would make up for the deficiencies shown here, assuming they are
    real.

    One thing which makes me wonder about the validity of the comparisons is
    that meats are also shown to have markedly lower contents of many minerals.
    Such as ---
    Loss of 30% of their Sodium

    Loss of 16% of their Potassium

    Loss of 28% of their Phosphorous

    Loss of 10% of their Magnesium

    Loss of 41% of their Calcium

    Loss of 54% of their Iron

    Loss of 24% of their Copper

    This does not make sense. Some of these deficiciencies, if real, would be
    incompatible with life.

    Once the soil becomes deficient feed for livestock becomes deficient and so
    do
    we. We have been moving slowly to a state of malnutrition and can see it in
    the
    rise in illness.

    The need to supplement

    There is an established and growing body of scientific evidence to say that
    the reduction of the mineral content in our diet, due to the severe natural
    depletion of these vital nutrients in fresh food as well as our modern
    convenience diets, which are low in fresh foods and high in processed and
    refined foods, lies at the core of many modern degenerative diseases.

    Compared to the previous generation, we are exposed to much increased levels
    of stress and environmental pollution; both known to be real everyday
    threats to our good health. Today the need for correct and complete
    nutrition is more vital than ever.

    Whilst it would be wonderful to imagine a world where uncontaminated fresh
    food was available to everyone at every meal, modern lifestyles and
    commercial interests will make this impossible.

    The only viable alternative is to supplement. Since it is effectively
    impossible to underestimate the importance of minerals and trace elements
    for the health of human body, we have no alternative but to ensure these are
    present through correct supplementation.

    Our society is beginning to react and demand better nutrition; the “writing
    is on the wall”. BSE and other food scares have created greater knowledge
    and concern over what we are fed and how this relates directly to our
    health. The food industry has reacted by offering a small range of
    supplemented foods. As yet this is small scale and often led by legislation.
    There is a growing public awareness and demand for convenience foods that
    not only look, taste and smell good but also have an intrinsic health
    benefit – a real functional food. This is the opportunity: adding magnesium
    and trace minerals to a formulation to increase your product’s USPs and your
    margins.

    incompatible with life.

    Peter Moran

    Once the soil becomes deficient feed for livestock becomes deficient
    and so do we. We have been moving slowly to a state of malnutrition
    and can see it in the rise in illness.

    "Incompatible with life" means the animals would have died before they
    could be used for food, Spammin' Dave. Meanwhile, if there's such a
    rise in illness, why is longevity constantly increasing? A rise in
    illness would cut longevity.

    I have read your contributuions to this chatroom and find that if we didn't
    allow you use any taunts, barbs or insults, you have nothing to say. You
    appear to be a "Maroon".

    The reason that I, Jan, Carole, Tim Bolen and a host of others keep

    You're starting out with a lie. Bad way to start.

    Indeed, but it is a common lie told by alties in various guises. What
    Glowlife Dave really objects to is that "conventional medicine" does not
    believe that his ginseng is the miracle drug (or supplement or "immune
    strengthener" or "toxin cleanser," or whatever else Dave likes to call
    it) that Glowlife Dave thinks it is. Ginseng may have some value in some
    medical conditions, but there is no evidence that it radically improves
    COPD or congestive heart failure, as Dave claims it does.

    If you do a Medline search on the word "ginseng," you will find (as of
    today) 1,834 references to the peer-reviewed medical literature over the
    last 38 years or so. That's quite a few. And that's just ginseng, not
    other herbs. Such an interest rather belies Glowlife Dave's claim that
    conventional medicine denies any value of ginseng.

    Fundamental intelligence would reject this negative logic and begin

    relief and all drugs offer unwanted side effects.

    All herbs also have side effects. It's inevitable.

    Indeed. We have pointed out some of these side effects, but Glowlife
    Dave still insists on referring to his ginseng as a "food" not a drug
    and insists that it cannot interact with drugs or cause side effects.

    real.

    One thing which makes me wonder about the validity of the comparisons is
    that meats are also shown to have markedly lower contents of many


    minerals.

    This does not make sense. Some of these deficiciencies, if real, would

    Perhaps he means a rise in the chronic illnesses that are a direct
    result of our vastly increased life expectancy. A century ago, so few
    people lived to very old ages that few people got the age-related
    diseases that are so common today and instead tended to die of trauma
    or drop dead of infectious diseases at much younger age. Of course this
    rise in chronic age-related diseases can be viewed as a direct result of
    the success of modern medicine in extending life expectancy. ;-)

    Then why do you? A wild duck I suppose. LOL
