Excerpt from Physiological Bread: A Contribution to the Simplification of Therapeutics; Translated From the German
This explains why our soil, after so many years of plowing and harvesting, at last refused its yield. But about this time it was discovered that the excrements Of men and animals, when brought upon the fields, produced renewed growth. These excrements are nothing else than remnants Of the food consumed which were not made use of; i. E., not transformed into new lymph and blood, and not being made use Of they were chemically decomposed and decayed in the alimentary canal and were excreted as superfluous and useless. Ever since stable manure has been the cry, and from thence our miseries commenced, for stable manure containing consider able quantities of ammoniacal substances is absolutely unable to produce wholesome crops for men and animals, because that which gives a vigorous consistency to our limbs and organs consists of the firm earthy parts and not of ammonia vapor.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the importance of soil health and its impact on human health. The author explores the consequences of declining soil quality, arguing that modern agricultural practices, particularly the use of animal manure as fertilizer, have depleted the earth of essential minerals. This depletion, the author argues, leads to a decline in the nutritional value of crops, ultimately weakening human health and contributing to various ailments. The book draws on historical observations, noting that people in the past, whose diets relied on grains grown in richer soil, enjoyed greater strength and vitality. The author uses the example of linen, whose ashes retain the fabric's form even after burning, to illustrate the role of mineral content in maintaining the structure and strength of both plant and animal bodies. He proposes a solution: consuming a bread enriched with a specific blend of minerals designed to restore the balance lacking in modern grains. This "physiological bread", the author suggests, can provide the necessary nutrients for a healthy body and counteract the effects of depleted soil. The author further discusses the benefits of this bread, highlighting its ability to alleviate digestive problems, promote satiety, and even improve mental clarity. The book offers a unique and compelling perspective on the connection between soil health, nutrition, and human well-being, challenging the reader to consider the impact of their dietary choices on the natural world and their own physical health.
