Moreover, as with just about everything with chemicals in it (including any type of food from the supermarket), not all ingredients/chemicals are declared. For instance, "USDA Organic" can, and probably does contain some GMO, albeit below 5%, and "100% Organic" is a rare find.

Out of thousands of additives in cosmetics, only a handful has ever been tested, and the FDA/CDC usually allows for limits that are by orders of magnitude higher than acceptable.

There must be a civilization in history where the inhabitants enjoyed fresh food clean water and proper sanitary issues.

If these existed before all of the external forces of illnesses which are upon us now, it would seem, they would be a template for overall longevity and health.

I'm reading about blue zones in a book on aluminum. Silicate in the water is the observation the book is paying attention to. As it is usually paired with aluminum and can help all sorts of biological life manage exposure to it. But I think these pockets may fit your search. I think its all fleeting though as our society/capitalism, or crony capitalism if your a libertarian and choose to direct your ire at government more than large businesses and profit motive, isn't going to leave those potential markets alone.

The only thing most doctors want to heal is the gigantic hole in their pocketbook after buying a bigger house, better vehicle, RV, boat, exotic trip to somewhere or from some other splashy spending spree.
