"The quick and supremely effective elimination and prevention of many cancers, many incurable physiological, neurological, cardiovascular, chronic and auto-immune diseases, influenza and the common cold, by natural nutritional means." Since 7/8 of the 4 billion year-long evolution of life occurred in the seas, and only 1/8 of it's span occurred on land, we have inherited an obligate dependence upon the complete range of the 72 natural trace elements, as found in the seas, in all of our daily food for our good health and well being. However, our modern agriculture knows of and maintains only 8 trace elements in its soils, and hence, in practially all of our daily food. Due to this longstanding neglect, over 60 natural trace elements have become severely deficient or exhausted in all chemically farmed soils, and hence in our daily food. This massive trace element deficiency in our food is the direct cause of a great number of diseases such as, but not limited to breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, lupus, MS, ALS, Alzheimer's, ADD, ADHAD, bi-polar and cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, artheclerosis, arthritis, edema, herpes, influenza, the common cold and many allergies and birth defects. And just as effectively as iodine supplementation eliminates goitre and cretinism, restoring the 72 natural trace elements in all of our daily food cures and eliminates a wide range of diseases, as mentioned above - due to the over 60 trace elements involved, and due to the myriad crucially vital functions many trace elements (as Zinc does in the formation of transcription factors) perform in the normal function of our metabolism and immune systems. Today, the only readily available food in the industrialized nations which still contains the complete natural spectrum of the 72 nutritional trace elements is seafood, and a daily serving of seafood eliminates and prevents a wide range of diseases - as it does among the Japanese. However, the only valid long term solution is the restitution and maintenance of the 72 natural trace elements, which can be readily obtained from the sea, in all agricultural soils. The dramatically lower incidence of many cancers, neurological, cardiovascular and chronic diseases among over four billion people - among them the Japanese, Chinese, Singhalese, the people of India and of many other undeveloped nations - provides vast living proof. Among he latter, the major factor is the constant return of all life wastes to the soil - and with them the 72 trace elements - in a perpetual cycle from soil to produce to people, to soil. For these reasons then, hundreds of papers, as appended here, document the effectiveness of fish and fish oil against dozens of diseases. Peter H.
