Scientists have found that nutritionally we need 90differentnutrients inourdiets.Over60of thesearemineralsand traceelements.Weare simplynotgettingthemtodayfromtheplantsweeat.

TheWisdomofMan,andthe“Theory”ofChemicalFertilizers

TheStoryofJustisvonLiebig

ThemanthatisgivencreditforbeingresponsiblefortheoriginofchemicalfertilizersisJustisvonLiebig.Youmight call him the “Father of N-P-K” (nitrogen, phosphorus, potash), because of his agriculturalstudiesanddiscoverieswithregardstotheuseofthesethreeelements.HelecturedbeforetheBritishAssociationfortheAdvancementofScience.Hisreasoningwasthatonecouldanalyzetheproduceofanacreandreturnthenutrientsremoved,alongwithaddingalittleextra.Hearguedthatmanandanimalsreceivednourishmentandsupportfromplants,whereasplantsderivetheirmeansfromonlyinorganicsubstances. These lectures took place in about 1841. Eventually hewas convincing enough that theyacceptedhis“buildupprogram”.Agriculturalsciencewentonfromthatdaytobuildtheirentirebasesonhispremise,andhascontinuedtothisdayinthesepracticeswithouteverlookingback.

In1843,JustisvonLiebigrecordedthefollowingobservationsconcerninghispreviouswork,butitwastoolate,fewlistened:

“Ihadsinnedagainstthewisdomofourcreator,andreceivedjustpunishmentforit.Iwantedtoimprovehishandiwork,andinmyblindness,Ibelievedthatinthiswonderfulchainoflaws,whichtieslifetothesurfaceoftheearthandalwayskeepsitrejuvenated,theremightbeamissinglinkthathadtobereplacedbymethisweekpowerlessnothing.”

“Thelaw,towhichmyresearchonthetopsoilledme,states,“Ontheoutercrustoftheearth,undertheinfluenceofthesun,organiclifeshalldevelop”.Andso,thegreatmasterandbuildergavethefragmentsoftheearththeabilitytoattractandholdalltheseelementsnecessarytofeedplantsandfurtherserveanimals, likeamagnetattractsandholds ironparticles,soasnopiecebe lost.Ourmasterenclosedasecond law unto this one, through which the plant bearing earth becomes an enormous cleansingapparatusforthewater.Throughthisparticularability,theearthremovedfromthewaterallsubstancesharmfultohumansandanimals–allproductsofdecayandputrefaction,ofperishedplantandanimalgenerations.”

“Whatmightjustifymyactionsisthecircumstance,thatamanistheproductofhistime,andheisonlyabletoescapethecommonlyacceptedviewsifaviolentpressureurgeshimtomusterallofhisstrengthtostrugglefreeofthesechainsoferror.Theopinion,thatplantsdrawtheirfoodfromasolutionthatisformedinthesoilthroughrainwater,waseveryone’sbelief.Itwasengravedintomymind.Thisopinionwaswrongandthesourceofmyfoolishbehavior.”

“When a chemist makes mistakes in rating agricultural fertilizers, don’t be too critical of his errors,becausehehashadtobasehisconclusionsuponfactswhichhecan’tknowfromhisownexperience,butrather, hehas to take fromagricultural texts as true and reliable.After I learned the reasonwhymyfertilizerwasn’teffectiveintheproperway,Iwaslikeapersonthatreceivedanewlife.Foralongwiththat,allprocessesoftillagewerenowexplainedastotheirnaturallaws.Nowthatthisprincipleisknownandcleartoalleyes,theonlythingthatremainsistheastonishmentofwhyithadn’tbeendiscovereda

We got rid of scented Kleenexes, scented toilet paper, soaps,shampoos, deodorants, and hair sprays.
