Traditionally, eating fresh grains, fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient rich soil have been the primary supply for the full spectrum of ionically charged minerals. Unfortunately in today’s world, naturally occurring, nutrient rich soil is becoming a thing of the past. Eons of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earths minerals to the surface where they have been washed away. Synthesized fertilizers are routinely applied to farms and fields where minerals have been depleted. But man-made fertilizers provide only enough mineral substance to support basic plant life. Without the natural balance of minerals in the soil, the plants can’t deliver them to our body.
