The Consequences of Mineral Dilution in Food
These nutritional deficiencies are causing major diseases of all kinds that we are just now recognising are caused by malnutrition. “Mal” means “bad,” and malnutrition really means, “bad nutrition” and that’s the only kind of nutrition we have left today in our food supply, unfortunately. Nutritional deficiencies are what scientists believe may be behind the epic increase in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and gut problems of all kinds.
As Waller and Marlen note, more and more nutritional studies have linked many of today’s most prevalent, life threatening chronic diseases – diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity, high blood pressure, macular degeneration, bone loss, dementia to nutritional deficiencies.
Research is finding simple nutrition may eradicate many of these common conditions as it has with scurvy, pellagra, beriberi and others. The simple truth may be that susceptibility to disease is linked to either toxicity or nutritional deficiency.
Plug “nutritional deficiencies and disease” or “magnesium deficiency and disease” into PubMed, for example, and you’ll see a multitude of recent studies confirming what we’re learning about the link between mineral deficiencies and disease.
Potassium deficiency = kidney disease, kidney stones, and will eventually lead to dialysis and death. Period.
Magnesium deficiency = hypocalcaemia, hypokalaemia and cardiac and neurological diseases. Chronic low magnesium leads to diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and osteoporosis. Unless we begin getting these nutritional deficiencies remedied, we will all become sick, fat, exhausted, inflamed, and prone to diseases of all kinds.
One cannot live on cardboard (today’s wheat) and polluted water containing metallic lead and arsenic. In fact, grains today do about the same things for the gut as eating cardboard would. They create a perforated, leaky gut full of holes, and that’s because they’ve become so genetically engineered to withstand pesticides that they’re hardly “food” anymore.
