The importance of minerals in our life. 'Nature Fights Back' is a book that Irene Fisher has produced to document the importance of having bioavailable minerals in our diet or as supplements to maintain our health and to restore our health where it has been compromised. In the present COVid 19 corona virus pandemic, less exposed and healthy people seem to be surviving, even after infection. In Germany there are still people who take minerals for their health, in the form of Dr Schussler's Twelve Tissue Salts. Iceland has volcanic, mineral rich soil supporting good health. This pandemic is worldwide. We ignore the increasing miracle mineral loss by plants that more easily absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide than minerals from the soil, minerals required for structure, metabolism and regeneration. We are unaware therefore of our declining health as a species and increasing susceptibility to viruses.
