Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Wouldn't it be easier to just get your nutrients from whole foods - or whole food supplements if necessary - so you don't have to go through all these problems of taking too much or too little of anything?

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 People don't eat the right food, they don't eat what agrees with them, or in the right combination, and even if they did there are still minerals and trace elements which boost the immune system and eliminate potential hazards in the toxins we meet everyday which are not in sufficient quantity in the soil or in the food we eat. Without a kinesiology type of diagnostic tool I see it as very difficult to assess what you need, and this changes sometimes day to day with stresses of everyday life as well as other factors. So as far as I'm concerned, whatever you take to supplement your daily intake and ward off disease, you're taking pot luck anyway. In Australia, most people need a Magnesium supplement, CoQ10 and some way to alkalinize their bodies, seasonally they may need additional Vit C and some type of oil, but again, everyone is different. Needs are different, there are so many factors to consider.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 If people were really serious about wellness, than they WOULD eat the right foods, but most people just want to eat junk and take vitamins/minerals and they think that's ok. Actually, everyone's needs are pretty much the same, as our bodies all " work " the same. We need plant-based digestive enzymes, intestinal support with probiotics, antioxidants (from whole foods or whole food supplements), and trace minerals (from whole foods or whole food supplements, not isolated trace minerals). If you can't get that stuff from the food you are eating, then you can supplement with whole food supplements (very different than the isolated/synthetic junk vitamins most people take).

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Getting nutrients from whole foods is always best because they are a 'balance' of nutrients. However, if an imbalance exists it needs to be corrected with specific nutrients to put the body back into balance.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Rather strongly worded Carol I eat fresh I buy Fresh I cook gently I eat NO JUNK food I have diseased innards............... I need gentle ways of getting additional minerals and vitamins into my body. I am financially 'strapped' so buying expensive supplements is difficult. I AM serious about wellness. As I said - your comments are strongly worded......... rather a One Fits all mentality I think! Clare in Tasmania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
