 It doesn't say what the source of these are, but chances are, these are not plant-sourced vitamins and minerals. These are probably the least expensive commercially produced vitamins and minerals available on the market.
So essentially, what you have here with Ensure, is a predominantly sugar-water product that has been fortified with a few vitamins and minerals. With that in mind, let's go back to the front label and take a look at all of the claims. It says, 'Complete, balanced nutrition to help stay healthy, active, and energetic. |

 What the patient really needs is adequate hydration, a brand new approach to nutrition, and the avoidance of all dietary substances that are known to worsen cardiovascular health and deplete water soluble vitamins from the body. And of course, B vitamins are water soluble vitamins.
Moving on in the herbs category, of course there are many, many healing herbs for heart health, including herbs like garlic, onions, and juniper berries. |

 Keith DeOrio, an integrative physician, who was well versed in nutrition, vitamins, homeopathy, and acupuncture, and who had an amiable, caring bedside manner. This M.D., who had a thriving practice in Santa Monica, quickly pieced the clues together— something his ignorant medical colleagues had been unable to do for years.
Soon after learning of my excruciating symptoms, running a battery of tests, and grilling me about my chronic consumption of candies and refined crackers, Dr. |

 Truth #4: The most expensive urine in the world is created by taking multiple overpriced prescription drugs, not vitamins. With more than 40% of the U.S. population now on prescription drugs, the drug content in human urine is now so high that trace amounts of antidepressant drugs can be found in public water supplies. Compared to drugs, vitamins are cheap prevention.

 If my patients persisted, I told them nutritional supplements probably would not hurt them, but they should take the cheapest ones they could find because vitamins most likely wouldn't help much either.
Maybe you have heard some of these same comments from your physician. For the first twenty-three years of my clinical practice, I simply did not believe in nutritional supplements. During the past seven years, however, I have reconsidered my position based on recent studies published in the medical literature. What I've found is so astonishing, I have changed the course of my medical practice. |

 Recent research has shown that the skin reacts particularly well to certain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that nourish the skin, making it appear youthful and healthy. The following nutrients are among the very best to consume for healthy, young-looking skin:
Silica:Silica is a trace mineral that strengthens the body's connective tissues - muscles, tendons, hair, ligaments, nails, cartilage, and bone - and is vital for healthy skin. Silica deficiency can result in reduced skin elasticity and can hamper the body's ability to heal wounds. |

 Heck, even Coca-Cola is coming out with a new product called Diet Coke Plus, which is made with -- get this -- aspartame and supplemental vitamins and minerals. After you stop laughing, consider how powerful the natural health movement must be to get a company like Coca-Cola to try adding minerals to a nutritionally worthless beverage like Diet Coke...)

 The New Hope group that organized the show actually invites an "FDA Enforcement Officer" to join the show, and they run around the show sampling brochures and making sure nobody makes any "unproven claims" about supplements, herbs, vitamins or even colloidal silver.
The FDA "presence" at the show, of course, is intended to make sure nobody can tell the truth about what natural supplements actually do to prevent and even cure degenerative disease. The point of all this is to keep the public ignorant and make sure there's a huge market for pharmaceuticals and surgery. |

 The Consumer Wellness Center sells no vitamins, supplements, foods or medical devices, and does not earn any commissions from the sale of such products. It does, however, frequently review and recommend products, supplements, websites and other services that can help improve the lives of women, men, infants, children and families everywhere.
"You'll find articles, reports and studies about the healing potential of natural medicine: phytonutrients, supplements, herbs and natural sunlight, to name just a few," says executive director Adams of the nonprofit's website. |

 Anyone who promotes good nutrition through supplements, vitamins or herbs is labeled a "quack," and anyone who dares question the sanctity of the cult of pharmacology is discredited, attacked and sometimes even arrested and jailed. (See my documented history of armed FDA raids against alternative doctors and vitamin companies in my book Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them.
It's all so hilarious that it makes you wonder how the so-called "quack" police can continue to peddle their pro-drug propaganda with a straight face. |

 Cheryl Long and Lynn Keiley writing for Mother Earth News3 tell us that "American agribusiness is producing more food than ever before, but the evidence is building that the vitamins and minerals in that food are declining. For example, eggs from free-range hens contain up to 30% more vitamin E, 50% more folic acid and 30% more vitamin B12 than factory eggs.
"Most of our food now comes from large-scale producers who rely on chemical fertilizers, pesticides and animal drugs, and inhumane confinement animal production. |

 I'm a great proponent of getting nutrition through wholefood concentrates, not through isolated vitamins. If you were to actually list all of the vitamins and minerals found in blueberry powder, it would be a very long list. But by eating the powder itself, you get all those nutrients into your body with each and every swallow of this organic food bar. And we don't have to list all of them out to know that they're in there. In fact, there's not room on the package to list everything that's inside it. |

| I asked the doctor in charge of his respiratory care to add vitamins and magnesium to his IV. While he promised he would, he didn't. When I asked his doctor why the magnesium had not been added to his IV, word was sent back to me through the nurse that she had never heard of using magnesium. I sent copies of selected articles showing the immense value of magnesium on pulmonary and cardiovascular function. Still there was no response from the doctor."7
Imagine this scenario happening hundreds, thousands, and even million of times again, over the past fifty years. |

 Another recent double-blind study of vitamins and antioxidants done in Europe also proved ineffective. These studies are important to consider because many people move to alternative medical treatments when classical medicine is not terribly helpful. I will discuss the tendency for you to do this and its consequences in more depth in the next chapter. But this brief review should raise a red flag for you. |

 People who think vitamins are too expensive but pharmaceuticals are a bargain because they get a 10 percent discount on some hare-brained Medicare plan. People who spend more on their credit cards to get more "miles" or "cash rewards," not realizing that the interest they pay on those cards far outweighs any such benefits. People who refinance their homes to pay their credit card debt, and then rack up new credit card debt, thinking their home is some kind of limitless cash-dispensing ATM machine. |

 Cooking food destroys much of its nutritional content -- not only the proteins, but also the vitamins and the phytonutrients that make plants such a potent nutrition source in the first place.
If you can avoid cooking some of these foods, and subsist at least partially on a live foods diet -- as I have been doing now for some time -- you find that you need a lot less food, get much better nutrition, and don't really need any meat. That includes even very active lifestyles like my own, which involve strength training, Pilates, lots of running, martial arts and cycling. |
| We can get everything we need in terms of nutrition -- including essential oils, vitamins, minerals and the like -- on a plant-based diet. We do not need meat to survive as a civilization. In fact, I believe that the mass consumption of meat devolves our society, because it makes us more angry and aggressive. It makes us less humane and is an uncivilized way to use the resources of the planet to support the human population, whereas consuming and surviving on plants is an evolved and intelligent way to feed the planet. If you consume mostly raw foods, then you also get outstanding nutrition. |

 In four years of medical school, they often do not receive any schooling whatsoever about the healing power of foods, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. Across the United States, Canada, most of Europe and even Australia, there is virtually no requirement that doctors learn nutrition before they receive medical licenses and begin to practice medicine -- a fact I find absolutely astounding. There are exceptions in certain schools and regions, of course, but most medical schools teach no nutrition.

 However, molecular distillation does do something to the levels of vitamins A and D.
Basically, we lose about 50 percent of the vitamin D in the distillation process and about 5 percent of the vitamin A. That doesn't sound like much, but what you are assuring is the amount of vitamin A and D in our cod liver oil only occurs in the fish. We don't augment it with synthetic vitamins A or D. What you are getting in one teaspoon of our cod liver oil is the highest level you would see in any cod liver oil of DHA and EPA. It is 700 milligrams of DHA. |

 Note to the wise: When you read disparaging news about herbs or vitamins in the press, just recognize it's all part of the system of health oppression rigged up by the pushers of organized medicine. The more they can convince people that herbs or vitamins are useless, the more drugs they can sell.

| Matthias Rath says that, "Almost all the prescription drugs currently taken by millions of people lead to a gradual depletion of vitamins and other essential cellular nutrients in the body. Drugs are generally synthetic, non-natural substances that we absorb in our bodies. Our bodies recognize these synthetic drugs as 'toxic,' just like any other non-natural substance. Thus, all synthetic drugs have to be 'detoxified' by the liver in order to eliminate them from our bodies.
"This detoxification process requires magnesium and vitamin C and other cellular nutrients as cofactors. |

| The number of poisonings from herbs, vitamins, and other dietary supplements increased nine-fold from 1983 to 2005. Of the 125,600 incidents reported that year, 27 ended in death. Even more worrisome is an FDA consultant's estimate that for every serious adverse event that is reported, 99 other serious events are not.
How can you be cautious? You can speak with your doctor. When doctors ask patients about medicines, the patient often assumes the doctor means prescription medicines. That's only part of the story. |

 Phytochemicals are plant compounds that offer important health benefits but are not considered "nutrients" like vitamins and minerals. I have also incorporated phytochemical density into my analysis. A comprehensive chart in Appendix B features the phytochemicals that you will often see mentioned when I review the benefits of the 101 foods. Finally, I reviewed the scientific literature for exciting new research on the healing properties of foods. If a food was shown to improve health, regardless of its nutrient or phytochemical content, I included it in the list of the 101 foods. |
| Coffee doesn't contain significant amounts of vitamins or minerals, yet its antioxidant properties are off the charts. It is one of the top antioxidant beverages consumed worldwide. Coffee contains phytochemicals such as chlorogenic acids, with similar antioxidant benefits to those found in fruits and vegetables that may improve glucose (sugar) metabolism. An average cup of regular coffee contains anywhere between 60 and 130 mg of caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant that can help with alertness and may improve athletic performance; however, too much can cause jitteriness and irritability. |
| Cloves contain manganese, vitamins C and K, magnesium, calcium, and fiber. Cloves also contain eugenol, a substance helpful for relieving pain, killing bacteria, and reducing inflammation.
