A natural source of B12

[Guest guest]

The following is from Volume I, Chapter 22, " Plants-Protected by

Fertile Soil " , of " The Albrecht Papers " :

" The 'filthy' chicken and the 'dirty' hog running for the fecal

droppings of the cattle are animal behaviours shown recently by the

scientists to be animal wisdom of the highest order regarding proper

animal nutrition. Those supposedly 'filthy' animals know their

vitamins, in this instance vitamin B12, and did so long before we

knew ours, especially this one among the last to be discovered. It

was because they knew theirs that we discovered them. The animals

have demonstrated refinements in their chemistry much beyond ours in

the laboratory.

These animals are apparently not worried about fighting microbes in

order to be healthy. They consume millions of microbes. They scratch

for them and root up the soil for them. They waged no struggles

against microbes by means of chlorinated and sulfonated carbon ring

compounds as the deadly weapons. Instead they went about their

business of feeding themselves properly by their own instincts. The

prevention of microbial invasions or 'diseases' has been a resulting

by-product. Good feed has always been the animals' own 'medicine'. If

now new 'diseases' are rampant, shall we not begin to consider the

possiblities that too many poisons scattered so freely about, too low

quality of feed, and too much of its production on the more infertile

soils, may have some causal connection? "

This was published in " The Journal of Applied Nutrition " , 1970.
