“Further, it has been proved that where animals can obtain iron they are much more immune to disease than in places where iron is wanting, from which we can only conclude that the presence of iron in the blood enables animal life to withstand the attacks of these bacteria, as a corollary that the bacteria do not produce the deficiency, a conclusion which is further confirmed by the fact that bacteria can live only on foods that correspond more or less with their own chemical composition.”
Natural versus artificial Thus we see that a perfectly healthy animal does not readily succumb to disease. Combining our world leadership in Aloe Vera and beehive products, Forever Bee Propolis is one in every of our hottest skincare products. Then why does man succumb so easily? Simply because the animals live on vegetation in its natural state, just as it grows, while man lives so largely on devitalized, demineralized, and adulterated foods.
The horse gets corn from the cob; man gets demineralized hominy grits and bolted corn meal bread. The cows and hogs get the middlings and bran, which are rich in the mineral elements; man gets the chalky white demineralized, bleached flour, from which the lifegiving minerals have been removed by milling, bolting, and bleaching. The horse and cow get their grass and fodder from the fields, in the natural state, while we use green vegetables in small amounts, if at all. The horse and cow get their sugar from the grasses and sugar cane, while we get the highly refined granulated sugar from which have been taken all the twelve mineral salts, especially the calcium and iron. Forever Bee Pollen is one of the most full foods available. Foods rich in calcium and iron will encourage immunity to disease.

Inherited Diseases. Inheritance or habit? We hear much about inherited diseases, but the fact is that most people who have the same diseases as their parents, inherited them over the dining room table. The physical system of the child is much like that of the parents; and when the mother provides a dietary lacking in mineral elements, the system is open to an attack of almost any disease, and the close association of parent and child is almost certain to mean the inoculation of the latter with the parents’ ills if infectious. However, if a change could be made in the dietary of that home before the birth of the child, or of the parents sometime early in life, providing food rich in the mineral elements, the child might easily become immune to the diseases of the parents.
