My guess is that there is a capacity for instinct that leads some people to find the correct remedy for themselves. The way people with mineral deficiency might crave soil, could be similar to the way shamans in South America 'knew' to combine an MAOI found in one variety of tree bark with the DMT containing plant - out of tens of thousands of plant species. I know from my own experience that foods I hated as a kid turned out to be pretty bad for me - cauliflower, peanut butter, white bread, tomatoes - have real negative effects for one reason or another. On the other side, foods that I've craved at certain times like oranges or almonds, were counteracting a deficiency of one thing or another. Of course, once this works once, the person who it worked for would spread the word for others with a similar problem.
