Minerals, Cancer
In this video, Joel Wallach spends about 24 minutes speaking on "Minerals, Cancer" at the 41st Annual Cancer Convention held on Labor Day weekend by the Cancer Control Society.
About Joel Wallach
JOEL WALLACH, B.S., D.V.M., N.D. received his B.S. in Agriculture & Nutrition from the University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri in 1962 and his Degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Missouri in 1964. He received his Post Doctoral Fellowship in Comparative Medicine from the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri in 1968.
His theory that Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a nutritional deficiency (selenium, zinc, copper, B-2) before and after pregnancy, caused him to be fired within 24 hours’ notice from his job with Yerkes Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia. His nutritional theory was not compatible with the traditional medical theory which holds that the disease is genetically transmitted. After learning that nutrition prevented diseases in animals, he decided to apply this knowledge to humans and earned his N.D. (Naturopathic Physician) Degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, Portland, Oregon in 1982.
Dr. Wallach is an internationally known educator, lecturer, clinician and author. He has written more than 70 peer review articles on Nutrition and Pharmacology and has contributed to 8 multi-author medical texts and reference books. He is the author of his own text/reference book on Comparative Medicine (W.B. Saunders Co.) and a book on self help (Wholistic Press). He and his wife Ma Lan, M.D. are the co-editors of “Health Consciousness” magazine.
Dr. Wallach is best known for his work in trace minerals and is the Chairman of the Board of Youngevity. He was recently awarded the 2011 Klaus Schwarz medal by the Biological Trace Element Research Foundation for his landmark research that revealed the relationship between a congenital deficiency of selenium and the genesis of Cystic Fibrosis.

Now. Thank you very much. And thank you so much, Frank. And yes, I do enjoy this group and appreciate each and every one of you being here this afternoon. As Frank put it out, the thing that makes my view different is that I do have a degree in agriculture. I'm a veterinarian. I am a a comparative pathologist, which I do autopsies in both animals and humans. And one project in which I did 20000 autopsies, some 17000 some change on over 454 species of zoo animals and three thousand human beings. This book is in the Smithsonian Institute, is a national treasure, is actually an NIH study. And the grant was actually gotten by Marlin Perkins from the Old Mutual Mahal Wild Kingdom show. And he invited me to be the pathologist on the project and went on to become a naturopathic position. And as Frank pointed out, I've been treating my patients like dogs since 1978. But they get better.
OK, listen, we got here.
There's one my favorite slides from National Geographic, because this is where everything interfaces a very thin crust of nutrients. And you'll see in a moment they do not occur in uniform, blanck around the crust of the earth, that plants only need three nutrients to be healthy and make good seeds for next generation. And one is magnesium to make chlorophyl. And the green pigment so they can get energy from the sun and do the photosynthesis thing and manufacture sugar and carbohydrates and proteins and so forth. They also need phosphorus, potassium to drive growth. Everything else a plant needs a guess from either water or the atmosphere. They get nitrogen from the soil, from bacterial activity or from the atmosphere to make amino acids and proteins and so on. So plants don't need much. They only need some sunlight and three minerals from the soil. We need 60, as you'll see in a moment. And people make a lot of mistakes when they think that I'm eating organic and I don't need a supplement because organic means less pollution. Does anything about the nutritional value of your food? Most of you heard back in the beginning, in the old days. Some time ago, depending on if you're biblically orientated or not, it may have been six thousand years ago or sixty thousand years ago or six hundred thousand years ago, man ran into fire and learned how to tame. It was a byproduct light and heat and smoke. But also there was plant minerals, a.k.a. wood ashes and a beginning before he was a farmer. He used to sprinkle these wood ashes, especially in hit. They were far
