NUTRITIONAL BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

In 1936, the United States government warned the American people in Senate Document 264 that the soil, being used to farm, was seriously deficient in minerals. The document said that the body’s physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals taken into our systems than upon calories, vitamins, or the precise proportion of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume.

Today,
60 years after the release of Senate Document 264, the soil is even more depleted of nutrients. The United States is rich and abundant in food, but from the viewpoint of nutrition, people are starving. The agricultural industry has constantly farmed the land without rest, and the soil cannot produce food sufficient in nutrients for our body. The pollution of the air and water has worsened the depletion of soil.

According to the Earth Summit Report in 1992:

Continent % of mineral depletion over the past 100 years
1. Australia 55%
2. Europe 72%
3. Africa 74%
4. Asia 6%
5. South America 76%
6. North America 85%
From the senate document and summit report, we can safely say that every person does not get all the nutrients needed for the body, which threatens and weakens our health. United States Nobel Prize nominee Dr. Joel Wallach researched, for twelve years, the natural deaths of 3000 humans and 17,500 animals of different types through autopsies. He found that the common reason for their deaths was a result of various nutritional deficiencies. Two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling said, “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”

Daily Health is needed because not only are we deprived of many minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients, our diets have deviated to fast foods, fatty foods, junk foods, processed foods, refined foods, and a lack of variety of foods. The 1936 Senate Document 264 also said that 99% of Americans are deficient in minerals, and a deficiency of one or more minerals can lead to disease, thus shortening our lives. Minerals are so important, but we cannot get the full supply of it from food any longer. That is why we must get it from supplements and liquid multi vitamin and minerals is the most effective delivery system available today.
