Why Buy Supplements?

Why do we spend our hard earned dollars on supplements? Is it because we do not believe we are getting adequate nutrition elsewhere? Whatever the reason, the populous has been buying more and more supplements each year but that has not translated into less illness. In fact, degenerative diseases are on the rise and have been for quite some time.

But if we're not getting adequate nutrition from food and we can't get it from supplements then where can we get it? And why are we wasting our money on something that doesn't work? Are we really getting what we pay for from our high-priced supplements? More often than not the answer is an emphatic, NO.


Things to consider when buying Natural Supplements

It is very important to note that single nutrients (vitamins and minerals) are rarely recommended unless prescribed by your doctor. If you are treating yourself, it is always better to choose nutrients that are normally found together in nature. Vitamins and minerals need special carriers and co-factors to escort them into our cells for proper absorption. Without these carriers, the body will rob other areas to supply the needed co-factors. This can cause major deficiencies with long term use.

It is also important to note that mega doses of vitamins and minerals are not recommended by alternative practitioners because these are inorganic fractionalized chemicals without the appropriate carrier co-factors to usher them into our cells. Our bodies only absorb between one and five percent of these chemicals and the other 95% are left floating around in our system to settle into improper places. That is why you will not find single nutrients listed in this product guide. You will find natural medicines, herbs and food source vitamins and minerals in combination.

If you are intent on taking specific minerals for a particular issue, it would be wise to do a mineral analysis first to see if you really need that mineral. It could easily be you are deficient in a cofactor needed to absorb that mineral or you lack the digestive capability to absorb it. If that's the case, there are ways around the digestive track.

You can have a mineral analysis done (see below) with your doctor's approval. If you can't get a doctor's approval, you may be able to order through me.

Natural Supplements are not regulated so the quality varies widely. There are no government standards for quality, potency or authenticity and many imported herbs are irradiated in an effort to protect us against bacteria and viruses. It is especially important that the buyer beware. The companies mentioned here are believed to be reliable sources.

Make sure you know exactly what you want, including brand names, before buying herbs and alternative medications in a Health Food Store. However, if you must, here are some safety guidelines:

  1. When buying bulk herbs, look for sealed opaque packaging. Fresh herbs must be protected from light and air. Herbs over six month old are less potent than fresh.
  2. Bulk herbs must be stored in opaque jars -- dark brown or blue. If stored in clear jars they are fine for ceremonial use or their aroma but are probably not good for eating or drinking.
  3. Some encapsulated herbs should be refrigerated. Always check the expiration date and never buy an herbal product that is near or past that date.
  4. When possible, stick with brands you know are reputable, such as those listed here, that use natural food based ingredients as opposed to fractionalized or synthetic ingredients.
  5. Herbs can be quite powerful. You may want to consult an herbalist before wasting time and money on herbal remedies that may be totally inappropriate. A good herbalist can mix up a batch of exactly what you need, choosing herbs that will work well together to increase healing. Usually they will give you a powder that you can mix with juice or water.

The following list of products are produced by reputable companies and believed to work. The list is small because it is difficult to find reputable companies. It is equally difficult to find products that work. Most of the items below can be found through an internet search but if you have difficulty finding it online, sources are listed below. -- Angel
