I want to tell you something that has been on my mind for a long time.
About 5 years ago a patient brought me an article that reported that taking Vitamin C could increase your chances of cancer and premature death. Like so many studies that sound bogus, I blew it off. Then another patient brought me an article that said the same thing about Vitamin E. Since then I have spent many hours investigating these claims and I am sad to say that many of these reports are true! That’s right!
After careful investigation I found out that almost all Vitamins sold in drug stores and health food stores are “fractionated” or “synthetic” Vitamins. These are the ones that the studies are talking about. You never really buy Vitamin C, what you are buying is a synthetic version of what the FDA calls Vitamin C. Guess who runs the FDA? 50% of the board are X –CEO’s of drug companies! Also, good luck trying to find out where the raw ingredients come from. One time I traced the source of some “spirolina” algae back to literally a cesspool! It was advertised that it was taken from a “pristine” lake in the mountains of
Unfortunately many health food providers have gone the way of big business and just want to make money. Take many of these power bars for e.g. many are nothing more than expensive glorified candy bars! However most patients leave my office after I recommend specific supplements for their condition (thinking they will somehow save some money) and go down to the local health food store to buy some off the self brand of supplement that they think is the same. Then they wonder why nutrition doesn’t work!
The supplements we provide in my office are not synthetic or fractionated and are derived from complete whole foods. The difference is like comparing a seed to a tree, or a steering wheel to an entire car! They are not even in the same league!
I guarantee that if you asked the worlds greatest nutritionists if they heard of these products, they not only would tell you they heard of them but they personally use them themselves! These are the crème of the crop.
The reason those fractionated vitamins cause cancer or premature death is because they often create “a burden” upon the system. When a pharmaceutical company puts vitamins together ( and there are only about 7 companies that make 95% of all the supplements out there) they are desperately missing vital ingredients that nature intended to have. Without these, they are worthless to the body and the body actually has to expend energy to remove them. It would be like delivering a 2 ton box of car parts in your driveway and telling you to enjoy your new car! Unless they are put together in a usable way they are really useless.
If you are having any health issues, especially ones that are not resolving, or require medicine, are taking off the self supplements but don’t seem to make a difference, if you are concerned about pre mature or rapid aging come and speak to me. If you are taking supplements like Centrum, One a day, or basically any vitamin you bought in a drug store or health food store, you owe it to yourself to come in for a nutritional evaluation
If you are going to spend money on trying to become healthy, why not actually get healthy? We recently had a whole body detox program going in our office for New Years and now Lent to restore your glands, organs and tissues, and many of the patients are testifying how their abnormal lifelong blood chemistries became normal after 3 weeks, how their skin and face look younger and more vibrant. Everbody in my office including myself participated in this program and made a believer out us. I was amazed that although I didnt lose much weight, I lost 4 inches around my belly. Others lost 20 lbs, thats just about a pound a day for the entire 3 week program!
The word “lent” means “spring” and might be a great time to consider doing some physical, mental and spiritual “Spring Cleaning”! We are here to help you
