 Wolfe: I think the first thing with nutrition is that we have to make sure that we are actually nourished, that we have a complete assortment of minerals and vitamins and nutrients from our food, so that we are not deficient in anything. That's really a great place to start. Just begin by adding certain foods into your diet in order to have a complete and wholesome diet. If we are depleted in magnesium, or depleted in chromium, or depleted in vitamin C, we're putting a tremendous burden on our body. |

 On top of that, chicken soup often has noodles in it, and those noodles are made with refined white flour, which also depletes vitamins and minerals from your body. So, chicken soup really offers nothing of value except, perhaps, the onions and garlic (the medicinal plants in the broth).
In contrast to processed salt, sea salt or Himalayan salt is very good for you. Mined from natural salt deposits, these salts contain an array of health-promoting minerals (including trace minerals), far beyond the sodium and chloride found in typical processed salt. |
| When you choose these as your food sources, you are fortifying your body with the vitamins, minerals, healthy oils, fiber and other nutrients it needs to boost its immune system function and fight off the flu.

Virtually every food that is popular in American culture is immunosuppressive, by the way. That's right – practically everything you've been told could be a part of a healthy, balanced diet is, in fact, a food that causes disease and suppresses immune system function. |

 They'll say, "If these vitamins weren't dangerous, then they wouldn't have been outlawed, would they?"

 That's how the majority of so-called "alternative" studies are conducted: Researchers just happen to coincidentally use synthetic, low-dose vitamins or supplements, all the while acting like they're conducting real science.
This isn't real science. It's a charade. And once again, the mainstream media bought the whole thing hook, line and sinker.
If you're going to compare glucosamine with Celebrix, why not run another trial and compare calcium with crack? I can see the results now: "100% of the patients reported feeling better on crack. Therefore, calcium is useless. |

 Many "vitamin water" products are often just colored water with a trace of low-cost vitamins. Popular sports water products are just water, artificial colors, salt and a few low-grade minerals. These are rip-off products, if you ask me.
But there are also quality, genuine bottled water products on the market that I believe are worth every penny. Those would be the ones from natural mineral springs, like Evian or Aquarius water out of Oregon. |

 They say that you are wasting your money if you take vitamins or nutritional supplements. They say forget about eating raw foods and fresh plants. "That is not proven," they say. They say that the healing value of human touch has no scientific proof whatsoever. Just stick with the pharmaceuticals, they say. But why would they say these things?
Organized medicine won't make any money if you choose methods other than drugs to treat your disease or enhance your health. Every patient that gets healthy is another lost customer to organized medicine. |
| If what organized medicine says is true, then you should be able to observe that people on drugs are healthy, while all the people taking herbs and vitamins are diseased.
Go park your car in front of a pharmacy and watch the first 100 people you see buying drugs, then ask yourself, "Are these healthy people?" Look at the way they walk, their energy and their posture. Do they look healthy? Then go park your car in front of a health food store and watch people entering and exiting that store. Ask yourself again: Do they look healthy? |

 The more they can convince people that herbs or vitamins are useless, the more drugs they can sell.
FDA says, "We warned ya!"
An FDA panel has voted, with a slim margin, to require "black box warnings" on ADHD drugs following the deaths of hundreds of people who were taking them. If these drugs had been a Chinese herb, of course, the FDA would right now be issuing a nationwide ban and confiscating millions of dollars in inventory at health food stores all around the country. |

 Prescription drugs that kill people remain not only legal, but highly promoted, while vitamins that heal people and prevent disease are being criminalized. Little old ladies who own natural health food stores, who dare to sell you vitamin C, or manganese, or various trace minerals, are now apparently a threat to society. They will be arrested on the spot and incarcerated as criminals. |

 You have to be from the universe of Western medicine to believe that vitamins are useless, that healing therapeutic touch has no benefit whatsoever and that the mind and body are disconnected. Yet those are things that Western medicine devoutly believes. You have to be living in an alternate universe -- the universe of organized medicine -- to believe all of these things.
I love the fact that all of the organized medicine researchers and med school doctors who graduated from these alternate realities say that alternative medicines and therapies are unproven. What are they talking about? |

| Outlawing vitamins is not a minor issue. It is a violation of the fundamental laws of nature. To take away a person's right to nutritionally support his or her own body is to condemn that person to a lifetime of pain and disease. It is a blatant crime against humanity.
Now, more than ever, it is obvious that the people need to take grassroots action to overthrow this dark system of organized medicine that has conspired to keep us all in a state of chronic disease. |
| The way this works is simple: get an audio or video recording of something that shows the utter stupidity of the ban on vitamins, and get it into my hands. I'll pay you a pretty penny for the footage, plus I'll get it posted to a million or more natural health readers around the world.
What kind of video footage can you shoot that will make this point? There are endless ideas. Buy a secret spy cam and install it in your vitamin shop (SharperImage.com has one for sale that looks like a desk clock), then wait for the vitamin police to raid your shop. That will make for some nice footage. |

 If you give your heart nutrition -- through B6 vitamins, calcium and magnesium -- your heart gets stronger. If you exercise your muscles, they get stronger. If you exercise your bones, they get stronger, too.
The human body is a miracle-class machine that adapts to stress by repairing itself. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. That's why you have people in their 70s, 80s or even 90s out there running or jogging up a mountainside. |

 I was at one of those wholesale discount club stores -- I don't want to name the name -- and they had vitamins in capsules, like fish oil supplements, that were formulated to combine fish oil extract with hydrogenated soybean oil. How's that for a supplement?
Barron: Wow.
Mike: Can you believe that?
Barron: Yep.
Mike: This was heavily promoted on an end cap display as being good for your cardiovascular health. It's insane.
Barron: There's definitely insanity. |

 They’re going to be eating food that's made without these vitamins because it's cheaper.
At such a point, you'll have a big company, the futuristic Monsanto if you will, saying, "If you want to be healthy, you've got to pay up." The upshot of all this is that big business is going to be telling humanity that it doesn't have the right to be healthy unless it pays for it.
This situation will stand as a heinous violation of human rights and nature. Human beings evolved in a natural environment in which they had access to fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grasses and animals. |
| Nature didn't charge you for creating vitamins and minerals. The plants and soils provided these on their own, naturally.
Plants create seeds naturally, and these seeds are freely available to humans, birds, insects and any other creature that wants to use those seeds. This is the natural order of things. Through technology combined with corporate greed, we're going to see a global effort to separate human beings from nature. Humans will then be effectively charged for gaining access to these natural benefits. It's the commercialization of nature. |

 They think vitamins are useless, acupuncture is quackery, and that all medical treatment should be limited to drugs, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
These extreme skeptics are truly impressive in the depth of their knowledge: There is nothing true in the universe that they don't already know. All science has already been discovered, they proclaim, and therefore all new "whacky" ideas about vibrational healing, energy medicine or nutritional therapy are based on nothing but quackery. |

| And that's why your vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements are now being stripped away. It's all an effort to isolate you from the free cures for disease provided by Mother Nature, thereby forcing you to submit to patent medications (prescription drugs).
If there were ever a time to rise up and stage a health freedom revolt, this is it. This is a cause worthy of a fight, because you're fighting for the protection of the very laws of nature. Basic human biochemistry demands that we intake certain nutrients in order to live. |

 Take your healthy vitamins correctly to see results
This is why I have consistently recommended that you get your nutrition from eating whole foods, superfoods or nutritional supplements made from whole food concentrates. Of course, there are some nutrients that you can't get that way, like cod liver oil and salmon oil, but there are companies out there that really care about the quality of their oils and aren't going to give you garbage. In terms of cod liver oils, one of my top recommendations is Nordic Naturals. They will give you a quality product without a bunch of harmful fillers. |

 So there is a great debate out there because the pharmaceutical industry would like to get all of the vitamins off the show. It is an economic decision. They'd rather see people taking drugs.
Mike: I am one of the people who talks about that and, like you, I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. I think it's just corporate greed. I mean, they want to make more money.
Dr. Strand: Oh, yes! It's an economic decision. In my book, Death by Prescription, I have a chapter called “Deadly Partnership. |

 What if we paid tax with vitamins and minerals and nutrition? What would happen then? Wow. We'd have this whole country with a surplus of healing nutrients and Washington would have no choice but to hand them out to everyone, free of charge.
But wait a minute! How would our government get anything done if it ran on flax instead of dollars? Are you kidding me? You think our government is getting anything done? |

| I know that these particular supplements are from the same manufacturers that you find making low-cost vitamins sold at grocery stores and pharmacies. It's no wonder that some people have such a dim view of the nutritional supplements industry. They take these products and they feel worse.
Well, no wonder; you've just consumed toxic ingredients – not what was in the label, but what was listed in the fine print of the ingredients section. No wonder you feel worse; you're just eating hydrogenated oils. You're actually taking them as a supplement. |
| I saw people buying these vitamins by the basket-load, thinking they were doing themselves some good. The only one I found that didn't have any artificial ingredients or other garbage in it was organic flax oil. Every other product offered was garbage, in my view. Nutritionally, it was a disaster. I wouldn't feed those supplements to any person or animal that I cared about.
So there you go. This is the nutritional supplement industry that a lot of people see. |
| In fact, the dirty little secret of the nutritional supplements industry is that many of these companies are wholly or partially owned by pharmaceutical companies, so these vitamin manufacturers think they can standardize, process and manufacture vitamins in the same way they manufacture prescription drugs (which is an entirely unnatural process, by the way).
When companies manufacture prescription drugs, they really don't care what goes into them as long as the active ingredient is there. |
| Big Pharma manufactures vitamins, too
And yet, vitamin companies – the cheap ones – are taking this ingredient and putting it in soft gels as filler. And that's not the only ingredient they're putting in, either. Some vitamin companies are taking artificial colors – that's right, chemicals extracted from coal tar – and putting them in not only soft gels but in tablets and capsules, too.
Now, why on earth would a vitamin company do this? The answer is because some of these companies aren't at all interested in health. |

 A typical VLCD program lasts for 12 to 16 weeks, and the liquid formula completely replaces all usual foods. A structured period of refeeding usually occurs after a VLCD, with solid foods slowly being reintroduced into the patient's diet.
The purpose of VLCDs are to quickly achieve large weight loss while providing adequate nutrition and preserving lean body mass. The mean weight loss for a 12- to 16-week program (including the long-term weight loss of dropouts) is about 20kg [37, 38]. |

 You have to be wise enough as a consumer to know that wholefood concentrates are loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytonutrients and other elements that have a healing effect on your body.
With the raspberry concentrates in this product, you have another complementary fruit concentrate that has a variety of healing phytonutrients. So you've got blueberries and raspberries together here -- it's a little bit like eating a few berries from the orchard. |

| You can find it in vitamins and supplements in health food stores, grocery stores, price discount warehouse clubs, retailers and pharmacies all over the country and around the world right now. What toxic ingredient am I referring to? Partially hydrogenated soybean oil.
Today, anyone who follows nutrition knows that hydrogenated oils are extremely toxic. We know that, long-term, they will lead to cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. They can even encourage strokes. We know that they cause harm, sometimes irreparable, to the nervous system. |
