About the Author
Dr. Beddoe developed a deep love for agriculture growing up on the family farm in southern Oregon. Although his professional scholastic training has been in the field of medical health care-Doctor of Dental Surgery-he has never been removed from working with the soil.
It was during dental school that one of his physiology professors discovered that teeth actually have a natural cleansing and health maintenance process that begins from inside if the body is healthy and mineralized. Thus, the early years were a fascinating journey of learning. A major turning point came more than 27 years ago when he met and began studying with Dr. Carey Reams. Dr. Reams' work since the early 1930's in the field of agricultural biochemistry and biophysics set the stage for Dr. Beddoe to combine his love of agriculture with his work in human nutrition. Since then, "Biologic Ionization", as originally coined by Reams, has become his exclusive tool for understanding and working concurrently with human and soil health.
"The longer I work with soil chemistry, the more I know that our poorly mineralized food is robbing people of life," says Dr. Beddoe. "We are only as healthy as the food we eat, and that food is only as mineralized as the soil in which it is grown-if grown correctly. A farmer or gardener growing low mineral food spreads degeneration, disease and poor health, while the farmer and gardener who understands how to grow highly mineralized food promotes the best public health." Dr. Beddoe emphasized this point by saying, "Healthy and high mineral energy soil can have more effect on the health of humanity, than all the medical personal and institutions that will ever exist."
