All I know is that the ACA solves NOTHING. Hospitals and doctors price gou ge and the solution is for more people to pay them ? While they kill 200,00
0 to 300,000 people a year ? And I mean kill, not minor screwups on people who were about to die anyway, I mean medical mistakes that kill people who should not have died at all. This is from the AMA's own figures.
People say the Dr Joel Wallachis a quack but that is not true. It is true t hat he did market a very good suplement tro people who, quite frankly, woul d have little use for it because they were too damn old. the damage had bee n done. the mineral deficiancies had already taken their toll and it really was too late to do anyhing but sotp further damage, that is if they hadn't ceveloped malabsorption by that time.
He said the if vets took car of people and doctors took care of animals tha t healthcare for a family of four would be twelve bucks a month but hamburg er would be a hundred bucks a pound. (or some numbers like that) I, very se riously here, would like to know a vetrinarian who would break the "law" an d treat me. They are much more competent than human's doctors when it comes to disease.
In the animal husbandy profession, they cured alot of the dieases that make them a s*it ton of money when humans get them. They used to get insulin fr om pigs' pancreas' because it was close enough. Before that, pigs got diabe tes. They found that the lack of trace minerals chromium and/or vanadium ar e responsible for diabetes in pigs, and they gave them supplements accordin gly. Without this, they would not live to market weight. IOn other words th ey get paid for keeping things helthy, not the other way around. A whole bu nch of other diseases have already been traced back to poor soil, and while they let humans suffer instead of telling them, they have to fix the anima ls.
I have studied this for decades. If you want a synopsis of the situation, i f you can reasd critically and have the time, I will supply you the files r roight here, which has NOTHING to do with Wallach or ANY seller or anytithi ng of ANY product whatsoever.

this is from a book, in Australia, where doctors do not get rich on human s uffering. It is also quite old, but nutritional needs do not change. It lis ts what each of about 20 minerals do in the body, gives some information on what happens when it is deficient, and lists some sources. It also give a caveat on those sources saying that the levels "depend upon the soil in whi ch it is grown". It's an interesting read, broken up into sections that ope n in a new window. It also has zero flufff so you don't spend a month on i t. Go ahead and download it, but the "buy the book" link does not work. I W OULD buy the book. I only saved part of it.
The US government was aprised of this condition back in the 1940s or so but did nothing. However, there isno reason to hold them responsible. Ther eis nothing that can be done except to pay through the nose for free range and organic foods and even that might not work. The best bet is mineral supple ments. Plus, when they supplement the livestock and we eat it, we indirectl y get the benefit of those supplements.
It would be highly cost prohibitive to fertilize the land comprehensively. Therefore, since they get paid by the pound, they fertilize the ground with only what the plants need, which varies. That's why some things will grow in some places but not others despite a very similar climate. It boils down to the minerals in the ground, or more aptly put, boils up.
It changed my whole outlook on food and while befroe I was suffering from c hronic back problems and very bad knees to the poiont that walking down a f light of stairs was excruciating, to the point where none of this gives me any problems at all. I also look at most of my friends my age who have no t eeth and no or grey hair and am surprised at how old they look. I have neve r lost a tootha nd haven't seen a dentist in about forty years. I have a f ull head of hair and the only grey I have is in my beard, stangely right be loew where I got shot in the face in 1985.
In short, the ACA, which I refuse to call Obamacare, has done absolutely no thing to fix any of the REAL problems that cause the US to be among the lea st healthy yet pay the most for health.
The food pyuramid oi s a total joke. Since plants are nothing but carbopn, hydrogen and oxygen these days, carbs are stuffing. Stuffing is for dead tu rkeys and the facyt is that even they cannot live on it. In fact, they tout turkey as healthy because of low fat, which is bullshit. Fat does not beco me fat in your body, and there are things you NEED that are fat soluble. Wh at becomes fat in your body are carbs and sugars. These days, oyu can live without them, much better I might add. Part of what fixed me so many years ago was to limit carbs to almost nothing for a few years. I grew stronger a nd stronger feeding my body with proteins, mineral supplements and so forth . I didn't eat a piece of bread for about three years. I had never heard of Atkins either.
So the idea is prevention, and what they sell you on TV and the web is all a bunch of garbage. The proiblem is not what IS in your food, it is what i s NOT. You can take some poison, your body can handle it and get rid of it, if you're healthy enough. Not that you should seek out poison or anything but...
Rant over. Look at the data if you wish. You can odwnload thoss 20 some pag es to your harddrive for offline viewing or to pass around on sticlks or di sks. I recommend it highly. I hacve found no resource that even comes close to the level of that.
