Why Whole Food Supplements?

WHOLE FOOD AND

HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS

As a nation, we eat poor quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients.  We do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables.  Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas and cereal.  We eat a tremendous amount of pre-packaged, pre-made meals.  One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day.

It is our philosophy that food - primarily fresh and raw, and fresh fruit and vegetable juice - should be our main source of nutrition.  Unfortunately, the quality of the fresh fruits and vegetables, even the organically grown, is sadly lacking in nutritional content due to the depletion of the nutrients in the soil. 

It is also virtually impossible to consume and assimilate in one day an adequate amount of the proper foods to both take care of the body's nutritional needs for today and have enough left over to pay back nutritional debts, thus allowing for true healing to take place.  This is because:

• The body's number one priority with any nutrition coming in each day is to use it to take care of today's needs  Paying back debts and healing is done with any nutrition that may be left over at the end of the day.
  

• Most people, especially as they begin to change to better eating, will suffer from an assimilation problem, due to past "dietary sins", thus even if they do eat well, and most aren't perfect, there is not 100% assimilation of the food. 
  

People are meant to eat foods, NOT vitamin pills.

The human body is designed to consume real, raw, whole foods from nature because foods contain a wide array of nutrients that cannot be duplicated by scientists. Vitamin pills just won’t do because no matter what a vitamin company claims, vitamins are just chemicals. As chemicals, they work more like drugs, not like foods.

The whole food supplements that we recommend are food-source supplements, which means they contain all the components that nature provided. This is because they are derived directly from organically grown foods. The labeling laws are such that no differentiation needs to be made on the label as to whether the ingredients are whole food-truly natural or if they are processed, partially natural or laboratory produced. The word "natural" on the label means nothing. Unfortunately, many vitamin companies use either processed, partially, natural or laboratory produced ingredients. They do this because they are far less expensive and probably, in many cases, they honestly don't appreciate the difference.

Whole foods are more important than the vitamins alone.  Foods heal because they are whole and delicately balanced by nature through evolution.  This is why they do not cause SIDE EFFECTS the way vitamins and drugs do.

We offer professional grade whole food and herbal supplements from quality suppliers such as Standard Process, NutriPlex Formulas, and MediHerb.
