A diet of naturally produced natural foods would supply our bodies with the nutrients we need. But, unfortunately, because of our polluted air, water, and land, the growing of uncontaminated foods has become increasingly difficult, and by the time we see the foods in the market they have been further adulterated by all the processing and refining. Even fruits and vegetables are routinely subjected to artificial ripening by chemicals and coated with wax to prevent spoilage due to water evaporation. Dyes are also used to make the fruits and vegetables seem fresher and more appealing.

For these reasons, mineral and vitamin supplements are necessary to safeguard us against deficiencies and toxicities that cause the degenerative Killer Diseases.

We emphasize that we are not speaking here of therapeutic programs-each of which must be tailored to individual needs-but are making suggestions for vitamin and mineral supplements to accompany the general eating and lifestyle plan already set forth.
