Sheep and cattle farmer Brown Trotter's animals were among the healthiest in New Zealand, yet Brown Trotter himself was, in his own words decrepit, very lame, and with a bad heart.

His animals won prizes year after year at shows. He got them to that stage by supplementing them with trace minerals such as copper, zinc, iodine and selenium - either by adding them into his pasture with fertiliser or as a drench. Brown would mostly buy under-nourished lambs from other farms at a low price, and then, next season send them out as fine specimens of fat lambs and obtain top prices.

However, despite his success with his farm animals, Brown’s own health began to deteriorate from age 45. He soon began to black out continually. At age 64, an X-ray and cardiograph revealed a severely diseased heart. He was immediately flown to an Auckland hospital to be operated on. This was just to hold the situation, and perhaps to gain another year or two of life. When Brown came home from the hospital, he continued to deteriorate. He writes, couldn't read. About two lines and I fell asleep. This was an existence I came to dread. I realised I was turning into a cabbage. Finally, in desperation, he decided to take the same minerals that had worked wonders with the health of his farm animals. He weaned himself off the drug digoxin and began taking his stock minerals and magnesium, zinc, selenium and iodine.

A dramatic improvement occurred. Brown's energy, alertness, and strength began to speedily return, even though he was still smoking heavily. Six months later, at age 65, after 20 years of ill-health, he describes himself as healthy at age 67, to the amazement of doctors, he recorded a perfect cardiograph. One doctor stated, it has never been known in medical history, The first half of this interesting book relates Brown Trotter's mineral experiments with his animals and reproduces some of the amusing and thrilling newspaper debates with sceptical vets and government soil scientists.

Then he tells the important story of how he restored his heart health, using the same trace minerals that brought exceptional health to his farm animals.
