Supplements are constantly being thrown at us from all angles, scientists and doctors alike often promote them as the solution to almost anyone’s dietary needs. There are so many products (miracle cures, secret potions, elixirs) that hit the marketplace every day; WHAT do we believe? Everyone has “the” product that will cure all ills. ALL have good “stories,” but NOT backed up by FACTS!

Do We Need Supplements?
Yes, we do! And anyone who disagrees is totally NUTS, or is living in another time (before industrialization). We know that there’s too many of us on this small – so called blue – planet that loses all its green! Mass-production of food for the masses has depleted us from the nutrients we need. Sure, whole foods can give us all we need, but their availability is limited and even these whole foods lost much of their valuable nutrients prior to ingestion! Did you know that when you pick an apple from a tree, 50% of all the enzymes are DEAD within 30 minutes? So, how many LIVE nutrients remain in your whole foods and organic foods? Hard to say, but I’m sure you don’t get all the nutrients you need; it’s just impossible TODAY (unless you move your family to an untouched pristine area…maybe; good luck!). I’m not telling you not to buy whole foods and organic foods though. I buy them almost exclusively! Why? They are still a lot more nutritious than processed, synthetic foods; our body recognizes these ‘whole foods’ from nature and therefore is able to absorb them; and they are FREE of pesticides, harmful chemicals, toxins, colorings and preservatives. That alone is a GREAT reason to buy whole foods and organic foods!
BUT scientists finally agree: we DO need effective SUPPLEMENTS because we are UNABLE to obtain all necessary nutrients from our food!
Yours in Optimal Health,

I love supplements, I eat on the run most of the time and never get all the nutrients I need in my meals
