The health of people in the USA is abysmal
by Charles Weber

The health of people in the USA is abysmal (numerous statistics), and
a major part of it is poor nutrition. As the 12th century physician,
trying to cure by diet before he administers drugs, said; “No illness
that can be treated by diet should be treated by any other means" or
as Hippocrates expressed it in 460 - 377BC; "If we could give every
individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too
little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to
health." It would seem that a healthy life style has been known for a
long time. It is my belief that an unprocessed, unfrozen, not canned,
high in vegetables diet would keep a large majority of people
reasonably healthy and without the need for fad diets. 80% of
Americans do not eat adequate vegetables, but even though 72% of
Americans take vitamin or mineral supplements daily or sometimes
[Sardi p148], their health is atrocious, especially old people..

I would suggest that a partial solution to the problem of poor
potassium nutrition would be to place a tax on all food that has had
potassium removed by food processors and completely fund all Medicare
and workman’s compensation for injuries and disease that relate to
rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and high blood pressure. This
would also take the onerous tax burden now incurred for them and place
it on the shoulders of those who cause the problem

The author, Charles Weber, has a degree in chemistry and a masters
degree in soil science. He has researched potassium for 45 years,
primarily a library research. He has cured his own early onset
arthritis (33 years old). He has published articles on allied subjects
in; The Journal of Theoretical Biology (1970, 1983), The Journal of
Applied Nutrition (1974), Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology
(1983), and Medical Hypotheses (1984, 1999, 2007, 2008).
