I would like to hear from someone who had read this book, and share your thoughts about this book. How much inaccurate parts you had ever find if any, and what changed after reading it (if any). Or you think this book is completely bolox and it does more harm than good?
From my side, I do believe it is a good an informative book, about potential harm from various mineral deficiencies and how important not just minerals but vitamins and good food is important for keeping yourself healthy and living a happy live. But of course I read few reviews, and I have mixed thoughts now, as some parts of book does make you question things, such as ( body is made 28% of minerals ) but internet guys saying its only around 4%. But maybe it just trying to show an importance of minerals, that is why it is so exaggerated? I believe in any stuff quite easily, and I do believe in what it says in here, but as well don’t want to fool myself and do harm to myself or to others with false information.
So if anyone read this book at all, please let me know, I would like to hear your thoughts.

If there’s the slightest chance that the author is exaggerating numbers to make a point, distrust the author and disbelieve whatever he has to say. Same goes true if author gives wrong stats (and 28% is wildly wrong) out of ignorance or because lying will help his case. Given that this author seems to have medical training I can’t help thinkng that the last of those three lies behind what he says and pun which I’ve just seen was unintended.
Thompson is according to potted bio ‘integrative, anti-aging and holistic medicine in Soldotna and Anchorage’. This is not equivalent to ‘professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins’. He also was for decades a gynaecologist. Do you see any connection between those disciplines, assuming you’re forgiving enough to call integrative anti-aging and holistic medicine a discipline?
If you have concerns about your mineral levels by all means take them to your GP.
