Do we have a disease or a generational mineral deficiency problem? Catrina Ravenel answers this question in Stolen Intellect: Recovering the Missing Link to Generational Health. The answer has been right under our noses for many years. Humans need the four sacred elements (Water [Ocean], Fire [Sun], Air, and Earth) to have healthy bodies. The author discusses how every disease is related to a mineral deficiency that these elements can naturally provide. She gives a detailed list of the benefits of the elements and how to use supplements if we do not have the element within reach. The author included testimonies of individuals who have used supplements and the tale of Ben Afro Boy, inspired by true events from her son's life.

I enjoyed reading Stolen Intellect and hope more people read it. Catrina Ravenel’s work seeks to help reverse the effects of mineral deficiency for our generation and future generations. Almost every illness stems from a lack of minerals in our bodies, and the cure should be to introduce the missing mineral. Depending on where you or your ancestors come from, you will discover everyone lacks something vital for their health, healing, longevity, or rejuvenation. The symptoms may appear different in each family member, but the root cause is the same. This theory makes sense, and I liked how the author explains everything. She is precise and uses simple words that are easy to understand. She also gives names of renowned practitioners that readers can look up to help them understand this subject better. This book is enlightening and will help you on your journey to better health. Brilliant work.
