Soil, Grass and Cancer
The book,
Soil, Grass and Cancer, is considered to be one of the legendary
works in the field of nutrition. As we know, nutritional books are a
separate branch of health books that receives special attention. In the
present circumstances, experts used to comment that nutrition is
the most important point we must think about. We seem to be happy about
our achievements in the field of medicine, but in fact the success of
these medicines are still questioned. The use of medicine has helped to
control many of epidemics, but the incidence rate of other serious life
threatening diseases are still increasing at alarming rates. The search
for an appropriate solution begins from with the identification of
the real reason for the disease. Even though diseases have different
characteristic features, the reason of the disease points to a single
factor, nutrition. The book, Soil, Grass and Cancer reveals
significant facts about the importance of the environmental factors in
nutrition.
Andre
Voisin is the author of Soil, Grass and Cancer. Andre Voisin, an
eminent professor of biochemistry, has presented the book with serious
thought of expression, which he has gathered from his life. In the book
he tries to insist upon the importance of soil in the growth and
mineral composition of food. His experience gathered from a teaching
career has certainly helped in writing this book. The strong scientific
background of the book is actually the key success of the findings
listed in the book. However the personal interest of Andre Voisin in
cultivation is the key motivating factor of writing the book and the
light of practical experience has given an authenticity to the book.
The book,
Soil, Grass and Cancer, deals with the soil's health. As everyone
knows, energy is circulated as a cycle through the food chain. Hence it
is evident that the health of the soil is important for plants as well
as the animal kingdom. The author tries to map the elements in the soil
and reveal the elementary composition of the soil. The book also
emphasizes the role of microbial and enzymatic processes taking place in
the soil. Andre Voisin tries to focus the risks in the use of over
fertilization and the use of other poisonous chemicals and warns people
including agricultural scientists, and farmers. He tries to substantiate
that even cancer can be linked to the intake of food grown in places
with excess amounts of heavy metals.
The
intention of the book, is to advocate the use of safe and natural
practices for the resistance of pests and their increasing productivity.
In Soil, Grass and Cancer, Andre Voisin tries to substantiate the
hidden relationship between the health of animals, the soil and humans.
The book shows the balance of nutrients and trace minerals in the soil
and tries to educate people how the delicate balance of the soil is
affected by the fertilization practices. The information gathered from
the intensive research makes evident that intelligent cultivation
practices are inevitable for sustainable cultivation. The book also put
forth several healthy agricultural practices before the farmers, which
helps them to ensure the quality of the farmland from the risk of
fertilization along with enhancing the profitability from agriculture.
The suggested safe agricultural practices include rotation management
that preserves the wealth of the soil. The book Soil, Grass and
Cancer, can be stated as an effort to make people aware about the
dangers in the popular agricultural practices and a call to them to not
forget their responsibilities to the world.
