Two Major Causes

We all tend to determine how healthy we are by the way we feel. How we feel about ourselves, the way we carry ourselves, our interactions with other people, our moods, cravings, patience, tolerance level, attention spans and much more are a direct result of how are brain is functioning.

Your brain is the control center of your entire body and unless you feed it properly, it will not function optimally. When functioning properly, the brain is very powerful in controlling all the rest of the functions of your body. We have all heard of people who have overcome very serious diseases simply through mind power. We have also known people whose health deteriorated very rapidly when they simply gave up on life.

The body is very capable of manufacturing the quantity of natural occurring chemicals needed by the brain if it has access to the nutrients needed to produce those chemicals. But modern agricultural practices have had a huge, negative impact on the nutrient content of soil and in the produce being harvested. Most nutrients stay in the soil until the product begins to ripen. Therefore, with the modern practice of poor soil management and picking "green," most essential nutrients are missing in the fruits and vegetables we harvest.

With today's foods so lacking in these essential nutrients, your body is very stressed without proper supplementation and is begging for these nutrients. Through research there is growing evidence that one of the primary causes of increased symptoms of ADD/ADHD and other learning "disorders" is a lack communication within the brain. These vital nutrients are what the brain is lacking for it's cells to communicate properly. Since the brain controls the entire body, if it can't communicate with the rest of your body, that's when other things start going wrong. So, it makes sense that supplying the brain with the nutritional support it needs is key to helping your entire body achieve optimal performance.

Common sense also tells us that we need to take additional supplements to get the nutrients that are likely be lacking in our diets. One thing we can assure you, there is no lack of any pharmaceutical drugs like Ritalin you need to be taking to supplement a deficiency in the brain because Ritalin is a foreign substance to the body's natural chemistry.

 

Cause #1

According to the 1992 Earth Summit, the US has the worst soil in the world – 85% depletion of vital minerals. Mineral Depletion from soil during the past 100 years, by Continent:

·         North America – 85%

·         South America – 76%

·         Asia – 76%

·         Africa – 74%

·         Europe – 72%

·         Australia – 55%

As long ago as 1936, the United States Senate issued Document 264 relating to proper food mineral balances. It states that impoverished soil in America no longer provides plant foods with the mineral elements essential to human nourishment and health.

Quoting from Document 264, highlighting the importance of minerals in the body: “We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for normal function in the body. Disorder and disease result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body’s appropriation of minerals. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless.”

Minerals are vital and are used in every metabolic process in the body. Because our soils and consequently our food supply are so depleted of minerals, our body robs itself from within in order to maintain essential metabolic functions. Eventually the body becomes so depleted of these vital nutritional elements that it leads to a weakened immune system and an increased risk of diseases, ailments and disorders including the common symptoms of ADD/ADHD.

 

Cause #2

God and Mother Nature make sense. They are always logical. You eat fruit & vegetables for the nutrition or what is now being called phytochemicals. That’s why you eat them but what do phytochemicals do for the plant? They’re in the plant for a reason. When you first plant seeds they have no nutritional value or phytochemicals in them (other wise you could just eat the seeds). As the plant grows and breaks above ground level the full strength of the sun hits the leaves and the plant begins a process called photosynthesis or in laymen’s terms, begins to create phytochemicals/nutrition. But where are the phytochemicals growing? In the roots below ground level.

Then the plant grows until it is 100% ripe (remember God & Mother Nature make sense, they are always logical). Now the plant has been growing with the full strength of the sun beating down on it and growing as fast as it can. But once the plant is ripe, we don’t want it to go from ripe to rotten do we? Remember all those phytochemicals that are being stored in the roots? Once the plant is 100% vine ripened the phytochemicals are released to come up through the roots, past the stalk and into the skins and pulp of the fruit and vegetables. The phytochemicals act as sun block to slow down the aging process of the plants so they don’t go from ripe to rotten so fast.

Think of phytochemicals as SP-50. God and Mother Nature do make sense. Now the problem, remember when you brought home that green banana and put it on the shelf until it “ripened” and turned yellow? “After” it turned yellow it triggered the mechanism asking for the nutrition to be sent up. However the nutrition is back on the farm in another state or country! All of our plants, fruits and vegetables are picked green and shipped to the stores and they ripen in the box, separated from the nutrition.

God and Mother Nature make sense and they give you back up systems to figure out if you should be eating the fruits and veggies yet. Nutrition or phytochemicals are the aroma in the plants. If they don’t smell really delicious they were picked green and have little or no nutrition in them. Second clue is when you bite into your fruit or veggies and they have no taste that’s because nutrition is the taste in a plant. If they don’t taste good that’s because they were picked green.

Now you have a catch-22, situation if you pick them ripe they’ll spoil on the way to market, if you pick them green they will have no nutrition when they do get to market. Solution? Pick them ripe then flash freeze dry them and take out the water so they don’t spoil and ship them in a food supplement.

Want proof? Go to the store and grab a tomato from the shelf and then go to a friend’s house or farm that grows tomatoes and pick a vine-ripened tomato. Take a thin slice from both tomatoes and go into your back yard and throw them on the ground and watch which one the ants go for. You won’t think you’re at the top of the food chain when the ants ignore the tomato that’s usually in your burger and go strait to the vine ripened tomato.

You should still eat fruits and vegetables for the fiber, roughage and natural enzymes. But you have to back it up with supplements for the nutrition because it’s physically impossible for a store to have a vine ripened fruit and vegetable with nutrition in it without being spoiled and it’s impossible for a green harvested fruit and vegetable to have nutrition in it period.
