Soil depletion

—A declining soil fertility, due to a lack of organic material, major elements, and trace minerals, is responsible for poor crops and in turn for pathological conditions in animals fed deficient foods from such soils, and that mankind is no exception."

      Dr. William A. Albrecht

      Chairman of the Department of Soils at the University of Missouri

FACTS

—Animals require at least: 45 minerals, 12 essential amino acids, 16 vitamins, and 3 essential fatty acids (The National Science Foundation )

—The human body requires at least 60 minerals for optimal health and basically the same other essentials as animals. (Gary Price Todd, MD)

—But, only 8 minerals are available in any kind of quantity in most of the food we eat today.
