Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 You have taken one paragraph about the importance of minerals, and made it sound like he was saying that minerals are the most important part of being healthy. I don't think that is what he was saying, but it is hard to tell from the limited context here. Obviously a good mineral balance will grow a healthier disease-resistant plant, which, in turn, will feed us better nutrition. But there is more to health than having a proper mineral balance in our bodies. I think everybody here knows that, and it isn't even worth debating!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 If true, it does indeed represent a major change of focus. That's why I'm posting. The person who wrote that review said that they'd got this message consistently three times from David Wolfe's talks - that mineral status was more important than raw/cooked - and that minerals were " the main topic " of the talks, so I really hesitate to dismiss it as an obvious misinterpretation. I'll ask again, is this a fair interpretation of what David Wolfe is saying these days - does anyone know? -rho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 >> You have taken one paragraph about the importance of minerals, and made it sound... This is not true, you have to read all article to see that it's ALL about minerals http://www.americahealth.com/davidwolfe/sevierville051804.html I like his three years ago interview better, as you can see he mentioned minerals already, and he is selling some related product. http://www.davidwolfe.com/articles/babs.shtml Keep in mind that this guy is only 33 years old, he will change his theory many times as he gets older. To feel healthy when you are young is not a miracle.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 David is currently co-speaking at seminars with Don Jansen, the " founder of Oceangrown Solution. For 20+ years, Don has been testing and studying how to grow fully mineralized produce by " feeding " plants with ONLY clean ocean water on his farm in Ft. Myers, FL. The benefits for healthy seed and plant growth are perfect for farms, orchards, pastures, hydroponics and home gardens. " (http://www.oceangrown.com) Maybe this is partially why ....
