In every genre there are some standout researchers in a particular field. The study of trace elements and their impact on nutrition is no exception. Six learned doctors: three university professors, two practitioners, two executives, an administrator, an industrialist, several were consultants—all scientists and prolific writers, researchers at heart, and convincing advocates for wholeheartedly embracing of a little-understood natural remedy, are the virtual godfathers of trace element application.
In the face of the miracle of antibiotics, chemotherapy, and advances leading to arthroscopic surgery, they chose a different path. At a time when treatment of patients with vitamins and minerals was viewed as quackery by some, or at least pooh-poohed as having fallen out of vogue, these forward-thinkers applied themselves to researching pro-active, non-invasive methods of helping patients to stay out of the doctor’s office and hospital.
Their credentials are legion: NASA, USDA, electronics engineering, linguistics, honorary societies, positions of high responsibility, accomplished entrepreneurs, diplomas galore, and nearly 2000 books and articles amongst them. They are frequently quoted by everybody in the know about nutritional science.
When it comes to trace elements, colloids, ions, mineral salts, clay, chemistry, agriculture and medicine: these are your boys!
Therefore, what they have to say, and say about each other when it comes to choosing a source of mineral ingredients, should be gospel. With over a century of combined years of independent, corroborating research as late as up to the turn for the 20th –21st centuries, we need to look no farther. It is no longer a mere hypothesis that trace elements and minerals serve valuable metabolic and catalytic purposes in a plethora of organisms from the both plant and animal kingdoms. Their studies have proven the theory slowly emerging from the data observed and recorded. Their science has now established the principles for the new law of nutrition. Without minerals, you are dead!
