Don’t we get enough minerals and vitamins in our food?

With intensive farming of land depletion of minerals in our soil means that our food is often deficient. Coupled with today’s modern lifestyles, stress, eating on the run, and poor digestion means mineral deficiencies in particular are more evident than ever.
Mineral deficiencies result in a biochemical imbalance of the body and mind and often is the root cause of disease.

“For the most part, mineral deficiencies represent the lowest possible common denominator to disease” – Dr Les Fisher
