Doctors will tell you that you can get all the nutrients (vitamins, antioxidants & minerals) you need from a balanced diet. During their years of training they study nutrition for half a day, which is why they seem to give bad advice.

As long ago as 1936 the U.S. Government warned (Senate Document #264) that plants extract nutrients from the soil permanently. If not replaced, they do not get into your food. Of the 67 essential minerals needed, farmers put only three (known as N P K) back into the soil because they are good for the crop (not for us).

Why do doctors have a lower life expectancy (58 years) than almost all other professions? Could it be because their training stops them believing in food supplements? Why do thousands of patients die every year in hospital from wrong treatment (in January 2001 the Chief medical Officer published a report showing 850,000 errors in the NHS every year. In Australia, separate statistics show 4.9% of such errors result in deaths, so this means there are probably at least 41,650 deaths caused by NHS mistakes in Britain), misdiagnosis, and poor hygiene ("In Britain alone there are at least 100,000 cases of hospital-acquired infection each year. As well as the 5,000 who die, the infections are a contributory factor in the deaths of 15,000 other patients" - Daily Mail June 13 2000)? Because doctors know what they are doing? Isn't it better to look after your own health and avoid the medical profession?

Some doctors know better. Dr. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel prizes said "you can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency". Strong words. Nowadays, medical science is learning that most vitamins need minerals in order to work properly. Everybody needs multi minerals and multi vitamins. You can probably get them from a well-balanced diet provided that the minerals are in the food in the first place. Intensive farming methods mean they probably aren't.

The main cause of death in the USA is heart disease; second is cancer; and third is - Western medical treatment. 250,000 people die of it. In July 2000 the Journal of the American Medical Association said that 7,000 die from being given the wrong treatment. Amazingly, 106,000 die from being given the prescribed treatment. All three can be avoided by improvements in diet.

A published report in March 2001 said that over the last 50 years, things had got worse. Calcium levels were down 75% in broccoli, copper in watercress down 93%, sodium in runner beans down nearly 100%, magnesium in carrots down 75%, iron down 71% in swede and 60% in spinach. What would Popeye say?
