Summary: As aluminum cookware became more widely used in Dr. Lee's day, he and others soon realized the dangers of human exposure to this non-nutritional element. Aluminum poisoning was an unsuspected cause of degenerative conditions until Lee and others exposed the truth. This rare document is a classic, clarion call by the leader and founding member of the natural health movement from the 1920s to the 1960s. Lee Foundation Report No. 5, 1946.

Summary: Many people know white sugar and white flour are refined products, but what about distilled or otherwise "purified" water? Although deionization or reverse osmosis can remove potential pathogens, it also takes away the minerals found in "unrefined" sources of water that are so critical to human health. Possibly the most important of these minerals, Dr. Lee says, is calcium bicarbonate, a form of calcium that has the rare distinction of being easily absorbed by the human body. Other benefits such as natural bacterial antigens, which help build our immune system, and the absence of fluoride make natural, unrefined spring or well water the ideal drink for the human body. From Let's Live magazine, 1958.

Summary: In this reprint from the magazine Nature's Path, Dr. Royal Lee rips food processors for adding poisonous additives and preservatives to their products and selling them as harmless to an unsuspecting public. Nitrates in meat, bleach in flour, and aluminum exposure are highlighted. "Are we...witnessing the crumbling of our civilization by reason of the compromise with principle that is being made by the guilty parties who have so thoroughly sold the public health down the river?" Lee asks. "'Just a little poison in the flour'....'Nitrates in meat never hurt anybody'....'Aluminum toxic? Are you crazy?'" Just a few examples, Lee says, of how large-scale poisoning of the population has been glossed over in America. From Nature's Path magazine. Reprint 30F, 1951.

Summary: In this scathing correspondence to the editors of Collier's Weekly magazine, Dr. Lee takes the periodical to task for a recent article on "cancer quacks" that appears to have been influenced by forces within organized medicine. Included among Lee's pointed criticisms is the magazine's failure to mention that one of the "quacks" it spotlighted had been acquitted and cleared of any wrongdoing by the Federal Trade Commission. 1951.
