Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I appreciate your insight, however I disagree that it is necessary to buy or take a lot of supplements if you are simply eating the correct diet that your body needs. It is a matter of learning nutritionally speaking what amino acids, antiaoxidents, nutrients and minerals our body needs and finding those things within the food we eat. So many people looking for a cure for something feel that they can just start taking the supplements and all will be better. Not everyone takes the time to educate themselves. I’ve been on this list for a while and I could be wrong but I havn’t seen anything come across about cleansing which is why I specified the other list was ALL about cleansing. There is not much chance of being overwhelmed or confused or taken by the marketing of so many of these supplements if your getting what you need from the beginning which is your diet. There ARE natural supplements that you can take but have more to do with healing of the body, Echinacea tinctures. Another that’s a natural antibiotic. But again these are all made with natural herbs, along the same line as foods, and are not marketed by companies trying to convince you that this vitamin is the best or this supplement drink is the best. But those are just my thoughts, I certainly didn’t mean to offend anyone, just responding to her frustration, which I’ve had experience with.

What represents " crazy supplements and crap " to some people represents a life saver to others. I hope your comment is just a terminology problem. With respect, most people who practice self- health know that nutritional supplementation of some sort is not at all crazy, rather it is part of any health or anti-aging program and in fact you can't do a program without it. Without supplements we can expect to age gracefully and probably die at a ripe old age of 75-85. Who wants that? Practically all of my clients are expecting to live to be over 100; several are already about 90 and they are shooting for 115! Mind you, they aren't strictly speaking on " supplements " but rather " whole food extracts " and " amino acids " which land around the imaginary line between food and supplements, and do appear to some people to be supplements. regards, Duncan Crow «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤» § - PULSE ON WORLD HEALTH CONSPIRACIES! § Subscribe:......... - To :.... - Any information here in is for educational purpose only, it may be news related, purely speculation or someone's opinion.

You bring up an interesting point Liz; with the right nutritional program many people really do get better. Nutritionally speaking, the nine sea vegetable and aloe gel extract presented as Body Balance can certainly be eaten as staple foods, and they will provide the nutrition you require. Whether they are brought to market dried, pickled, fresh or as a concentrated liquid makes little difference. I think we can agree that with a land-based diet it's difficult to obtain our 70 minerals, and the fucose for example, one of the eight essential sugars. But three of the other essential sugars are available in aloe vera, and two in whey powder. I didn't save your exact comment about echinacea, but I'd refer people to the power of aloe vera instead. Unlike echinacea, aloe, like the sea vegetables, can fall into line with your assertion that the best foods can be part of your daily food intake if you like without resorting to using a supplement. regards, Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
