Refined and Highly Milled Foods
When the stovepipe rusted the rust was carried down into the soil by the rain where the rootlets of the grapevine picked up the stovepipe iron and, by a miracle which no chemist can explain, converted the inorganic stovepipe iron into organic, or vegetable iron, together with other materials, and in the sap brought iron up into the vine through the branches and out into the bunches of grapes for man’s sustenance. Forever Bee Propolis is a wax-like resinous substance collected from trees and used as a cement to seal cracks or open spaces within the hive. And so this process is carried on continually with all minerals of the soil by plant life. The scientist is unable to explain either the grapevine miracle or the creation of man in the garden of Eden. But shall we doubt either or both because we are unable to explain them? There is a Ruler in the heavens who is acquainted with the laws of nature, for He is the Author of them, and has determined their functions, and their relation to the animal, plant, and mineral kingdom.
The only minerals that can be assimilated are those that have been changed into vegetable, or organic form. All edible vegetable life and unmilled, unprocessed, and unrefined foodstuffs contain these elements in a more or less balanced form, so the problem of supplying them to our bodies is a very simple matter. Foods rich in calcium and iron generally contain the other elements in normal proportions. “The interrelation of the soil, the atmosphere, the plant, and the animal is a cycle in which the same materials are used over and over again. The sum total of elements in the world remains relatively fixed, but there is a more or less constant movement of them from place to place.” Refined and Highly Milled Foods
Mineral salts are found in solution in the blood, saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice, bile, and other internal secretions. The intestinal secretions will have their normal supply of the mineral salts even if they have to rob the tissues in order to obtain them; thus we see the importance of supplying them in our foods in the amounts required for healthy action. Strained honey is honey which has been passed by way of a mesh material to remove particulate material (items of wax, propolis, other defects) without eradicating Forever Bee Pollen, minerals or worthwhile enzymes. Herman Hille says: “From a purely physical standpoint, mineral starvation is the primary cause of disease. Organic minerals are more easily utilized than inorganic forms. Loss of mineral bodies impairs the food value of foodstuffs, and moreover, tends to make them poisonous.“Mineral starvation, regardless of the caloric value of the food ingested, is followed by disturbances in the vital processes and activities of the human organism, a reduced supply of vital energy, pollution of the blood, body juices, and tissues, and the preparation of tissue soil in which parasites thrive and multiply without hindrance. Applying these facts and conclusions, we find that the food minerals can no longer be ignored by rational therapeutics.
