Re: ACTUAL LEVELS OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS ....

[Guest guest]

Anne, I believe the mineral density and nutrient density issues

you bring up are crucial to health including liver-GB health. This

is a HUGE issue. It's really why most of us are sick and fat.

According to USDA studies, the mineral content of food today IS

70% LESS than food from 1910!! (Ihave the study). Yikes!

This is one reason why ORGANIC standards alone are not

enough. Granted, organic food must have some minerals

(because it is the mineral and nutrient density that gives natural

immunity to pests, parasites and disease to the plants and

animals that we eat). So, don't go back to eating COMMODITY

food, go to " beyond organic " food.

The only sane cure:

1) Eat 100% grass-fed meat, esp. organ meats, bone broths

2) Join a CSA (community supported agriculture) group

3) Make your own garden

4) Eat lots of sea vegetables

5) Take a daily mineral and vitamin supplement

6) Consume lots of raw grass-fed dairy products

7) Consume lots of pigment-rich root vegetables

8) Eat at least 2 tablespoons of lacto-fermented foods/day

9) Eat less grain (phytic acid inhibits mineral absorbtion)

10) Switch to celtic seasalt

Now we are talking HEALTH,

> what is a sea vegetable?

KELP. Some of the best ones are NORI, WAKAME, HIJIKI, and

DULSE . There are many others. You can also get KELP

TABLETS which are easy to take and keeps you ingesting a

regular amount. KELP GRANULES make an interesting addition

to salads, burgers, soups and sandwiches (but some don't like

the " ocean " taste).

Crucial amounts of minerals have leached from the topsoil

where our crops are grown but every essential mineral can be

found in the ocean, plus they are in the proper ratios.

Thanks, Anne. A nutrient rich balenced diet is sure to help with gall

bladder & liver health, since it helps with total health.

I am a proponent of growing our own organic food for a number of

reasons. If everyone had their own Ragusa (sp?) rose hip bush

and collected the rose hips, dried them, and ground them and put the

powder in their drinks all year long they would have one of the best

sources of vitamin C. Several of the bushes would be better.

I agree, Vince.

Another source of good wholesome food would be to forage in natural

areas - forests or fields that you know have been untouched with

pesticieds or other toxins are a good source of herbs to help diet.

One, which I like, grows easily in my garden - dandelion. It makes a

great liver tonic.
