Sorry Chris, counselors, or medical practitioners, nutritionists may be
but they aren't biologists, chemists, or physicists. Just because some
of them may use a term to define a condition doesn't mean that the term
is based in the hard sciences. The term may have meaning to them but is
meaningless to the greater scientific community.

So why not call an element an element and something with energy a nutrient,
as long as it contains elements.

Watch out for so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, tornado's, volcanic eruptions and other
abiotic forces keep reminding humans that they are not the boss.
