This is really true, and nutrition as a science is young.

true !! but truly organic farming practices in the long run restore
much to deficient soils.

well, hair test, blood tests, saliva test all show some things, but
you're right, no one has all the nutritional answers that is for sure.
Well, there is another side to this too. Some practitioners sell their
own brands because they create something original or unique. They
usually have them made at their own expense, taking all the financial
risks and can lose money, big time if their product doesn't sell really
well, even if does help their patients. They sell their own stuff
because no one makes exactly what they want to offer their patients.
That is not a bad thing to do.
