The Shocking Truth about Vitamin Pills
You know how many medical doctors claim that synthetic vitamin pills only give you expensive urine? Research has shown that almost without exception, it is not only true, but far worse than that. The synthetic vitamins found in most all supplements are toxic to the body and can contribute to disease!
The use of synthetic vitamins jams cellular signals, stimulates false surges of energy to the point of eventual adrenal exhaustion (hormones), autonomic nervous system imbalances, and immune system suppression. They serve no protective function in our bodies.
Far worse than synthetic vitamins is the vital nutrients missing from our diet causing many people to suffer from severe micronutrient deficiencies which cause illness such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, premature aging, hormone imbalance, and early death, especially from cancer. This is because we are starving for vitamins and minerals that are no longer in foods in sufficient amounts, and certainly not in synthetic vitamin and mineral pills.
These micronutrient deficiencies can bend, break, and alter DNA a more critical cancer factor than genetics alone. Micronutrient deficiencies actually cause cells to age prematurely. So once people receive the vital nutrients they are lacking, their cellular health will improve. When cells improve, organs like the brain, heart, liver and entire body improves.
So, what do you do? The smartest and safest thing to do is consistently use supplements that are not synthetic, but actually contain vital nutrients that give your cells what they most need. (Vital nutrient supplements rather than beneficial nutrient supplements.)
Remember, the most important nutrients for you are the ones you are most missing. If you would like to know the ones I use in my practice, please Contact us.
While no micronutrient or supplement directly prevents or cures any disease, they do enable and empower the DNA, cells, organs, hormones, and body to function properly, which is the only pathway to health recovery or maintenance. To me, that seems like a smart thing to do. What do you think?
The body is programmed for wellness. Our job is to help maximize the body’s innate capability by supplying it with the vital nutrients it requires.
5 Easy Sciences – Basic Cellular Support
What and How to Take Your Supplements
This is a simplified and basic starting point for vital nutritional supplementation. It does not represent a complete process. There are four areas of cellular function that need proper support for proper function.
Everything that you need to support these functions should be in the air, water and food but they are not. That is why vital supplements in today’s society are an absolute requirement due to poor nutrient content of food and the toxins in our environment.
These types of vital supplements do not act alone nor do they have only one type of action in the body. Even if you start with just one supplement, you will receive benefit. Later you can decide to take more.
These Are Not a Cure or Treatment for Any Medical Disease
Vital nutritional supplements such as these do not take the place of proper medical evaluation and therapy. Also, your doctor should know what supplements you are taking.
Begin With Knowledge
A regular dietary program of 4 key building blocks assures the healthy development and growth of new cells and protects the body against the relentless attack from stress, trauma, toxins and the toll of nutritional deficiencies.
New Cells in the Body Are Being Created Daily
The cell is the basic unit of the body. Make healthy cells, you will have a healthy body. The 4 basic functions of the cell needing support are:
The Optimal Wellness 4 Key Building Blocks
This systems approach to wellness strengthens the body to properly regulate itself. This wellness option supports the body with the nutrients that are missing from our modern food supply. This option also contrasts with the conventional symptom/disease/drug/cure model of Western health treatment.
1. Identification. Defend Cells (Cell-to-Cell Communication)
Identification support is pivotal no matter what other supplements you decide to take. Your first goal is to support the first 3 building block functions for basic optimal health.
A glyconutrient complex is designed to support optimal cellular communication. This complex is very important since the hormonal system (Endocrine System) signaling mechanisms require accurate cellular communication for proper function.
Glyconutrients (non fatty sugars also known as monosaccharides) provide building blocks needed to assemble healthy cells and enable cell-to-cell communication.
The average diet normally provides only 2 of the 8 necessary non fatty sugars. Today’s food supply is missing or deficient of the other 6. At birth mothers milk contain 5 glyconutrients for baby’s diet to help protect their immune system.
Look for a complex of all 8 which is a blend of the deficient or missing vital glyconutrients. Since both wellness and disease begin at the cellular level and we know that our cells need 8 vital non fatty sugars, we begin by supplementing our diet with those 8 glyconutrients.
These types of nutrients have been shown to improve the immune system and improve the antioxidant levels inside the cells. Examples of immune system malfunction include allergies, cancer, lupus and asthma.
As a modulator, glyconutrients support your immune system.
As a strengthener, it will improve your NK (killer cell) function to protect you.
As a cellular communicator, it provides proper gland and organ function, including your immune and endocrine systems, and ultimately optimal wellness.
Also, there is evidence that new stem cells appear in the body once glyconutrients have been added to the diet.
2. Defense (Cell Protection)
Antioxidant support is designed to help you stay healthy and counter the effects of free radicals. Highly active free radicals are being produced in your body every second 24 hours a day.
They attack your vital proteins, lipids and DNA. Normally there’s a fine balance between the damage they cause and your natural defenses.
Phytochemicals and antioxidants in food help defend our cells against free radical damage. More than 70% of Americans will die prematurely from diseases caused by or compounded by deficiencies of antioxidants.
It is virtually impossible to get the optimal amount of antioxidants through food alone. You need an antioxidant designed to help maintain optimal wellness by nutritionally supporting the immune system to build resistance, recover when run down and support bodily functions.
All antioxidants are not created equal. In fact many of them on the market today have little or no effect in the body! They are very important for protecting your tissues from harm from free radicals in your body.
Phytochemicals – there are over 10,000 in number known to date; found in plants (vegetables and fruits). They are pivotal for immune system functioning, heart disease prevention, and cancer fighting activity. They include free radical scavengers and anti-oxidants. They have overlapping duties with the glyconutrients.
Free radicals can cause significant damage to your cells. Antioxidants reduce free radicals which in turn reduces cellular damage. With less damage your body can stay healthy and balanced.
Production of free radicals is continuous and inescapable in today’s society caused by toxins and pollutants in our food and air.
How do we come in contact with free radicals? Stress, excessive exercise, radiation, sunlight, alcohol, margarine, cigarette smoking and second-hand smoke, nitrates in smoked and barbecued foods, peroxidized fats in meats and cheeses, deep-fried foods, chlorine in your drinking water, tiny particles of metals which get into your body through our air supply like toxic lead and cadmium, abnormal copper and iron.
3. Endocrine. Happy Hormones (Cell Regulation)
Just like glyconutrients are necessary for good cell-to-cell communication, plant hormones are required for healthy communication between human organs and organ systems (Endocrine System).
The Physicians’ Desk Reference for non-prescription drugs and dietary supplements states that a specific suggested hormonal caplet PLUS provides vital nutrients to help support the endocrine system’s natural production and balance of hormones.
Should you want to know how this caplet has proven successful over the years in my practice please Contact Us and I will share the information with you.
It is significant to note that the active ingredient in the caplet is almost identical chemically that the body uses in the production of hormones. Its properties may also help the body deal with many stressors of the industrialized lifestyle relieving some of the load on the adrenal glands.
There are synthetic likenesses of the active ingredients used to create hormonal drugs; however, natural plant hormones like in the Plus caplet help support the body’s normal hormone functions:
Mood Mental Alertness Temperatures Happiness Hunger
Sex Drive Fat Metabolism Stress Sleep Energy Metabolic Rate
They provide a standardized amount of natural plant hormones to supplement those missing in our modern diets for endocrine support, the system that maintains hormonal balance in the body.
Our environment has played havoc with our ability to manage our hormones so supplementing is best.
Proper cellular functioning requires molecules that provide proper endocrine function. This includes the 70+ different hormones that help regulate the body. Examples include DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, etc. Significant benefit can be seen with ingestion of a standardized wild yam (Beta Sitosterol Complex) helpful in hormonal imbalance menopause.
For plant hormone support Phytogenins offer the raw materials for a woman’s body to manufacture hormones (regulators and modulators) needed for a strong body and balanced emotions. They will assist you under the most stressful of times.
Hormones regulate growth, energy metabolism, bones and tissue integrity, body rhythms, sexual function and health, and our sense of well being directly linked to emotional health.
Food supplement for hormonal health gives the body what it needs to build healthy hormones. PLUS is a proprietary blend of plant hormone modulators that support hormone activity and synthesis that your endocrine system uses to manufacture natural hormones.
It provides hormones and immune system modulation and overall glandular support (liver, adrenal, pancreas and pituitary).
Because we are exposed to so many hormone based toxins in our air, water and food, supplying the body with PLUS endocrine support is a great boon to hormonal regulation.
4. Nutrition. (Nourish Cells)
Women will benefit from a carefully formulated multivitamin/mineral supplement.
It is very important to fill the gap for all of us who simply don’t consume enough fruits and vegetables.
Vitamins and minerals are essential in helping our bodies assemble healthy cells. Nutritionists recommend eating 5 to 13 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables per day to support health and wellness, but relatively few people meet this goal.*
* Required Daily Amounts (RDA’s) have been revised for the minimum daily servings of fruits and vegetables.
Daily required was 5 servings and is now 13.
Weekly required was 35 servings and is now 91.
If we can’t eat enough, vital nutritional supplements should be the next best plan.
Modern farming techniques, storage and transport methods have reduced the nutritional value of many products from their nutritional content of only a few decades ago.
Vitamins and minerals are essential to your everyday wellness and it’s important to find one that is food-based and assimilates in the body so you get what you need.
Natural vitamins, plant-sourced minerals and standardized phytochemicals offer greater wellness benefits than other types of nutrients. They should have no synthetic or chemically derived active ingredients.
Of utmost importance these minerals and vitamins must be ingested in food form. Also you should take a metabolic profile test to identify which combination of foods (proteins, fats & carbohydrates) you should ingest.
Vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals are needed in your daily diet to build healthy cells.
When vitamins and minerals are delivered in a whole food matrix, the body is able to assimilate and utilize all of the nutrients available, compared to the minute absorption levels available from the typical isolate approach in most multiple vitamin and mineral formulas.
Fatty Acids
Proper cellular functioning requires molecules that bind to toxins and excrete them in the stool or urine. For this reason, support for the intestinal tract is pivotal (80% of the immune system resides here). Ingestion of essential fatty acids, probiotics and fiber is essential, can help such things as inflammatory bowel disease, spastic colon (irritable bowel).
Essential fatty acids are very important vital nutrients with a multitude of functions. While they may be adequately supplied through a carefully planned diet, most people would benefit from supplementation.
They can be derived from plant or meat sources, especially from fish. Interestingly, the body is more efficient at absorbing and utilizing the essential fatty acids from fish oils, like Omega 3 supplements, than it is from plant derived sources like flax seed supplements.

General Comments
When you make fundamental changes in your diet, such as the case with these supplements, your body will undergo a change. Sometimes all that is experienced is the ideal reaction. At other times this change is preceded by a reaction of the body ridding itself of toxins and changing the ways cells communicate. Some call this a cleansing crisis, correcting crisis or toxic reaction.
The best way to think about this is to remember what the body initially goes through when you begin an exercise regimen after a long period of inactivity. You often experience aches and pains as your body adjusts. The same type of process holds true when the body has been in a nutritionally inactive state.
The Ideal Reaction
The ideal reaction is the gradual development of an increased sense of well being. At first you will notice that you do not tire so easily, then more sustained energy during the day, and you will not become tired so early in the evening.
Your sense of well-being will increase and you will begin to feel more emotionally and psychologically secure. Little things do not bother you as they once did.
Correcting Reactions – General Concepts
In a significant minority of people, a number of uncomfortable reactions occur while the body attempts to physiologically balance the body chemistry and revitalize the immune system through the support of cellular communication.
The longer the deficiencies have existed, the more prevalent the response is likely to be. Corrective reactions that may occur include: fever, rash or hives, excessive gas, runny nose, headaches, insomnia, increased thirst, weakness, lethargy, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, fever blisters, dry mouth, canker sores, constipation, dizziness, nervousness and various body aches and pains in joints and muscles.
When these reactions occur, you can be assured your body is making positive changes toward an improved state of health. As part of a correcting crisis, it will be easier to accept them as steps on the road to better health. These conditions are a small price to pay for long lasting benefits.
Reasons for Reactions
Immune Response: When your body is exposed to long periods of emotional, physical and environmental stress (heavy metal, petrochemical and other chemical exposures) combined with an inappropriate diet, your natural defense system can become compromised and less efficient. When the immune system is restored, the reactions may come in the form of flu-like symptoms.
Toxic Dump: The human body’s cleansing system eliminates toxins that accumulate in the body. This system can also become inefficient and allow toxins to build up and be stored, especially in body fat, rather than be eliminated. Once this natural cleansing system begins to work more efficiently, reactions can occur. These reactions result from the stored toxins being released faster than the liver, kidneys, skin and lungs can remove them from the body.
These reactions can include loss of appetite, nausea, headaches and swelling in various lymph glands throughout the body.
Allergic-Type Reactions: A deficiency in hydrochloric acid in the stomach can cause allergic reactions. Reactions can also be caused by a dysfunctional or exhausted liver and adrenal glands. An allergic-type reaction can include skin rashes and shortness of breath.
What to Do
Attempt to drink at least one quart of water, or a combination of fruit and vegetable juices, per 100 pounds of body weight per day. This will help flush out the toxins and contribute to the natural cleansing of the kidneys.
Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and bran from cereals. This can help accelerate the removal of toxins of any type.
Include an activity component in your daily routine. Walking or bicycling for 15 minutes is a good place to start. Exercise is another good way to support detoxification.
If the reaction is too strong for you to tolerate, reduce or discontinue the supplement usage for a couple of days, and then gradually build back up to the recommended amounts. This routine may need to be repeated, depending on the depleted condition of your body and the amount of repair needed at the cellular level.
What to Do About Specific Diseases?
If you are taking medications for a disease and you change your nutrition, your requirements for medications may change. It is important that you follow the instructions from your doctor on changes of medication. These types of products are not recommended at this time for specific diseases.
Certain diseases are known to have deficiencies in certain cellular functions (one of the four noted above) and extra nutritional support could be given but remember this is not treatment.
