[Fredslist] Allementary Health Tips: Supplements

[Lawrence Jackson-Rosen]

SUPPLEMENTS

 

For a long time I have encouraged people to try to get as much of their
appropriate nutrition as possible from food.

 

Unfortunately, the soils of this country have been terribly depleted due to
the use of millions of tons of toxic, synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and
fertilizers.  They are further weakened by corporate mono-culture farming
(lack of appropriate crop rotation).  Most of the meats, poultry, and milk
products sold in grocery stores are laden with antibiotics, growth hormones,
and pesticide residues fed to locked-up farm animals.  Foods are harvested
un-ripened, shipped thousands of miles, irradiated, highly processed, and
stripped of much of their original nutritional value.

 

Therefore, unless you are among the small percentage of Americans who eat
only free range, organic, whole foods, in proper quantities and proportions,
it is unlikely that you are getting all the vitamins and minerals that your
body needs from the food you eat.  This is where supplements can be helpful,
if you know what you're doing.

 

There are many vitamin and mineral products available today, in drug stores,
supermarkets, wholesale clubs, and vitamin stores.  Unfortunately, many of
the supplements on the market are synthetically made, of poor quality, and
not in a form that can be properly absorbed into your system.  Furthermore,
multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplements, even if they were high-grade
and absorbable, are not designed for you as an individual and may contain
elements in quantities that are inappropriate for you.  You may be spending
a lot of money for over-the-counter supplements which may simply flush
through your body or which may store certain elements (such as vitamin A or
iron) which can accumulate to unsafe levels.

 

How can you know which vitamins and minerals you should be taking?  And how
can you know which products are good quality, and which are not?  The good
news is that health counseling and metabolic testing are available to help
provide the answers.  I am working with another Gotham member to provide
metabolic testing, and it is available at half price during October.  If you
are interested in pursuing counseling and/or testing information, please
call me at 212.989.5109, and find out about your options.

 

Be well!!

Lawrence
