Human body Quote by Peter Glidden
““Elegantly simple in its philosophy, Dr. Wallach’s Medical Nutrition Method professes the following: The human body requires 91 essential nutrients to function properly. It is impossible to get all 91 of these nutrients from our food. With the passage of time, unless nutritional supplements are added into the diet, the body will develop nutrient deficiencies. When the nutrient deficiencies get big enough, something breaks, and disease is borne. If the deficient nutrients are put back into the body before the diseased tissue reaches its point of no return, the body will repair itself and eliminate the disease.””
