Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Pills versus Total Nutrition® I am always looking to add to and pass along new Naturopathic knowledge. One of the ways I can do this is by passing along helpful hints I run across. These tips give you the data you need to make wise decisions when it comes to the health of you and your loved ones. As the story goes, a woman was having her septic tank repaired and the cause of the blockage was hundreds of undigested vitamin pills, some of them with the brand names still readable. After hearing this disturbing news, further research revealed that 250,000 pounds of undigested vitamin and mineral pills are pulled out of the Tacoma, Washington sewers every six weeks. In Salt Lake City, over 150 gallons of vitamin and mineral pills show up in filters every month. This is a staggering figure! The stated reason for this is the high metallic content of these pills. Metallic minerals like oyster shells, carbonates, oxides and dolomites have the consistency of crushed up rocks, which our bodies were not designed to digest. Even those pills listed as " all natural " often have added fillers and coatings that inhibit absorption. This is ridiculous! I never make any product in pill or tablet form!!! I have only one encapsulated formula and that is my Intestinal Cleanse #1, but it is a “powder” in an easy to dissolve veggie capsule, not a hard pill or tablet, and the only reason for preparing it this way is because of the absolute hottest Cayenne being used in the formula. The Physician's Desk Reference shows that vitamins and minerals in a pill form are only 10 to 20% absorbed by the body. That means for every $100 spent on pills or tablets, $80 to $90 is literally being flushed down the toilet. Because of this lack of absorption, companies must use mega doses of nutrients in the hope that you will absorb some of them but this causes the kidneys to be overworked and wastes your money. According to the National Advisory Board, 100 mgs consumed in a tablet form translates to a minute stabilized 8.3-mg concentration in the blood. This is less than a 9% absorption rate!!! Have you ever noticed that when you take one of these Super-Duper Vitamin/Mineral “Horse Pills”, you feel nothing whatsoever, regardless of how long you wait for a reaction!!! My Total Nutrition is in powdered form and gives you an abundance of organic and wildcrafted vitamins and minerals that your body can assimilate easily. Because the ingredients are very low on the food chain, they are in your blood steam going to work within 15 minutes, and some within seconds. This is the reason I have so many of my clients and students saying they really notice a big difference taking this on a daily basis. They notice this difference immediately!!! We add fresh local bee pollen, raw organic eggs, and Udo’s oil to our drink and also take 1,200 IU’s of vitamin E and 100 Mg’s of Coenzyme Q-10 each day. You are the one that knows your body best so use your knowledge to determine what is best for you. Here’s to your health!
