Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 That is all true but we don't all get the minerals we need from plants for one reason or another. I think we agree that we gotta gettum somehow.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 One fairly simple solution, would be to grow your own trace-mineral supply. Find a couple of easily grown foods and edible herbs, known to be rich in a wide spectrum of minerals, etc., and grow your own supply, easily, in a tiny amount of soil. - " the desert_rat " <ron Tuesday, November 20, 2001 4:50 PM minerals > That is all true but we don't all get the minerals we need from plants > for one reason or another. > I think we agree that we gotta gettum somehow. > > John wrote: > > Why do so many people believe that the minute traces of various > minerals, > mostly unabsorbable, that occur in water, are necessary for good health? > Plant foods are composed mostly of water, and are the best source of all > minerals and other nutrients, present in organic and easily absorbable > form. > During the healthiest period of my life, I drank only distilled water, > on > the advice of an alternative health practitioner, who is currently > nearly 90 > years of age, and in excellent health. > _____________ > Get the FREE email that has everyone talking at > http://www.mail2world.com > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 I would think, though I don't have access to nutritional analyses, that most commonly used herbs and herb-like foods, such as garlic, rosemary, basil, etc., are rich in minerals. I forgot to mention, that sprouted seeds, legumes, grain-seed, etc., are an excellent source of highly digestible, minerals, vitamins, etc. Parsley is high in all nutrients, and is easy to grow in a small amount of soil. - " Lucy " <b_thankfull Wednesday, November 21, 2001 4:00 AM Re: minerals > which herbs do you suggest? > - > John Polifronio > Gettingwell > Tuesday, November 20, 2001 10:15 PM > Re: minerals > > > One fairly simple solution, would be to grow your own trace-mineral supply. > Find a couple of easily grown foods and edible herbs, known to be rich in a > wide spectrum of minerals, etc., and grow your own supply, easily, in a tiny > amount of soil. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, For nutritional analysis checkout the USDA or the DWIDP software links below. ======================== Good Health & Long Life, Greg Watson, gowatson USDA database (food breakdown) http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/ PubMed (research papers) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi DWIDP (nutrient analysis) http://www.walford.com/dwdemo/dw2b63demo.exe KIM (omega analysis) http://ods.od.nih.gov/eicosanoids/KIM_Install.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
