Book Review: Healing Power of Minerals, Special Nutrients, and Trace Elements
Ninety-two elements occur in nature, all derived from nuclear reactions that take place within the sun or deep within the earth. Thirteen elements have no important role in the biological functioning of living things -seven of these are radioactive and six are inert gasses. Four elements - carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen - are the basic building blocks of organic life. The remaining seventy-five elements are classified as minerals. Their role in health and disease is the subject of Paul Bergner's excellent book.
