Virtually All Human Disease Is Owing to Nutritional Factors
PeterB
According to the medical literature the vast majority of human
diseases with known epidemiologies are caused by nutritional
deficiencies. The better known ones are scurvy, pellagra, rickets,
pernicious anemia, osteomalacia, Beri Beri, koilonychia, Hypocalcemia,
Cheilosis, protein energy malnutrition, electrolyte imbalance, Menkes
Disease, and Xerophthalmia. But other conditions and symptoms,
including chronic fatigue, cold intolerance, low IQ, tingling
sensations, irritability, even leg cramps and chronic low back pain,
have been implicated by (or directly attributed to) nutritional
factors. Perhaps hundreds of clinical pathologies are aspects of
chronic and overlapping vitamin and mineral deficiencies, even while
such conditions are not acute and imminently life threatening. It is
well known that acute scurvy is fatal within months, for example, but
what about chronic insufficient vitamin C intake over a lifetime?
What would pre-clinical scurvy or pellagra look like and how would
they express? Would such illnesses be diagnosed by a medical doctor
as a result of dietary insufficiency, as a result of blockage of
nutrient uptake by prescription drugs, or as a consequence of other
chemical exposures? Linus Pauling, the nobel prize winner, stated
that many people with cardiovascular diseases are experiencing "scurvy
of the heart" due to chronic low levels of vitamin C intake. A
naturopathic doctor with a well-known practice has referred to his
patients as having "beri beri" of the heart due to low-level intake of
important B vitamins. The WHO has published its evaluation that some
2 billion or more human beings are suffering the health effects of low-
level iron intake despite the absence of frank iron-deficiency
anemia. The substantial research by Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D.*
provides overwhelming evidence over several decades of the
relationship of nutrition to disease in large human populations.
Indeed, except for rare genetic disorders that affect a tiny
percentage of human beings, the evidence is now clear that nutritional
factors, even in well-fed populations of the western world, are vastly
more critical to good health and lower disease rates than
pharmaceutical or other medical interventions.

You are absolutely correct.
However, we do need to factor in stress and the lack of sanitation.
In the USA, it is the fault of the American Dietetic Association and
their faulty nutritional concept brought about by the Medical
Monopoly.
The way it works is that via faulty nutrition, people become ill.
They then troop to the allopaths for poisons for their ills. In the
USA, this charade is now producing nearly 2 trillion dollars a year in
business for the pharma shills.
If we applied the same logic to farming, every farmer would be
bankrupt and meat might cost over $500 a pound. You see, farmers get
paid for raising healthy animals. The docs get paid for treating sick
animals ( humans ).
Humans, sick humans, are the raw material for the disease industry and
the medical monopoly.

You cannot secure nor restore health with pus or poisons.

I agree with you that stress and other factors are very important. As
for ADA, I doubt one member in a hundred even knows who Richard
Passwater is. Your last point (though tragic) is very well made.

How healthy is the food that we are eating today...
What about all these chemicals they are finding in babies, today! How
can the human body fight off all of these chemicals when its even in
our food.

As distinct from picking grain out of animal droppings like our
ancestors?

Rumor has it that there is even butanedioic acid in some common foods.

Given that nobody knows what causes (for example) chronic fatigue, I'd
say you've gone way too far here.
