Nutritional Information
From the two original cells which fuse together at conception, to the multimillion cell baby a few weeks later, is due solely to food. Not all the 50 or so essential elements we need from our diet such as vitamins, minerals, oils and amino acids (proteins), can be found in our present day foods which makes the taking of supplements necessary. Unfortunately, only about 2% of the hundreds of different brands of supplements are beneficial, making choice extremely difficult. Supplements are also used instead of conventional drugs most of which are derived from plants anyway, to treat a variety of conditions without the usual side effects which accompany drugs. It is also possible to use herbs in the treatment of many problems for which conventional Medicine has no answers such as viral, fungal (candidal) and parasitic infections. We are all given to believe that a diet of fruit, vegetables, grains and white meat is essential for a balanced diet. Yet we seem to forget that some of us cannot tolerate some of the very foods we are advised are "best". In some individuals, some foods such as milk and wheat, present a big challenge to the immune system causing a host of inflammatory reactions leading to conditions which reduce or alter function such as arthritis, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and so on. There cannot be a universal diet. There can only be an individual diet based on our unique requirements and tolerances.
