By Dan Kittredge Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st the nutrient density in our food crops has been consistently declining. USDA studies show that an average apple from the 1960’s had 5 times the nutrition of that same apple produced today. This is an average of course, and there are many farms who
More than 60 years ago, prominent German scientists, under the guidance of Dr. K. Seidel, rediscovered the self-cleansing process of natural rivers, streams, and waterways.

Soil Remineralization The soils of the entire world have become severely demineralized by erosion over thousands of years. Plants require a continuous intake of minerals, just as we do, and for very similar reasons – calcium to build structural support, iron to carry oxygen, and so on. Plants growing on mineral-depleted soil do not get
