No problem. I am a hardened skeptic and it will take a lot to waiver my opinion. It was shaped by going through a protracted "nutritional therapy" phase during which I got prostate cancer at a relatively early age. Over time I came to understand that some touted nutraceuticals, anti-oxidants, can be pro-cancerous by inhibiting reactive oxidative species needed to kill tumor cells. Any radiation oncologist worth his salt will tell you to avoid them all, especially during therapy. Are our farming methods lacking and soil played out on many places, probably. But, your paper says something about "By insisting that our doctors and our health departments establish scientific standards of nutritional value." and that kind kind of data is well known. Whether it is enforced I have no idea but I assume that major AG departments do something with their time. Worst case, take a multi since RDAs are well established. 2 of the go-to people/organizations I consult when I have nutrition related questions are Walter Willet at Harvard, https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/walter-willett/ and the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State. They seem to have it covered.
But, your notion that farming and soil optimization is a standard that should be adhered to as part of public health best practices.
I am in no way trying to trivialize your beliefs or opinions but judging that any casual outing tells me that most people are overfed, I'd say that finding out how to get and keep them at normal weight might do more to stem some ongoing epidemics than focusing on whether their nuts contain enough selenium.
Nor was I insinuating that you were a huckster, I was just giving the usual boilerplate when I see web sites or books pushed as having real answers when they quite possibly have not been vetted.
I do take a few CAMS and will continue to do so but I keep it down to a roar since assuming anything is harmless is probably a bad idea.
Sorry to hear of your MS and the suffering it has caused you. If you think that you are onto something, by all means share it, but please qualify the level of proof that is associated with it. Purely anecdotal isn't necessarily bad, if it were we'd have to toss all of Ayurvedic medicine for example, but knowing it does assist in the decision process.
Thanks.
