Our Earth was once abundant with minerals, trace elements, and rich humus soil flush with microbes. The soil was exceptionally fertile and organic growing conditions were optimum. Vegetation was very lush and bountiful. Sadly, today this is not the case. Our soils are sick due to poor agricultural practices, pesticides, chemical fertilisers, erosion, and mineral depletion. These sterile conditions in turn prohibit important microbial activity. Because our soils are sick our plants are sick and contain very little in the way of mineral nutrition. For generations now, adequate fulvic acid that should have been contained in the plants we eat has been missing from our diets. Scientists have found that nutritionally we need 90 different nutrients in our diets. Over 60 of these are minerals and trace elements. We are simply not getting them today from the plants we eat.
