How Big is Your Supplements Graveyard?
Can you Feel Your Supplements Working?
There are numerous reasons why supplements often or usually don't work.
1. Supplments are missing several advantages of whole foods.
2. Supplements can be toxic
3. Sometimes supplements are necessary
Whole Foods
Have a rich variety of nutrients that work together as cofactors to help absorb each other as nature designed.
Are not denurted by excess processing.
When raw and not frozen have enzymes that help digestion
PROBLEMS WITH SUPPLEMENTS
Supplements are usually denatured compared to foods.
Isolated
Supplements are often isolated minerals or vitamins without cofactor nutrients to help absorb them, other minerals, vitamins, fats, etc.
Isolates may be too much in quantitiy and imbalance other nutrients, as part of the cofactor balance.
No Enzymes
Unlike raw food with enzymes to help digestion, supplements are rarely raw with enzymes preserved. Heat and freezing destroy enzymes.
Artificial
Supplements may be synthesized from coal tar, for example, and thus lack living properties. Isolated vitamins are generally syntheized and many don't work or are harmful, especially vitamin D and B1 thiamine. While they may seem to work for some there many horror stories for others. I'm not going to elaborated, I've written about it elsewhere you can find on you own.
Toxins Added
Toxins are often added, even ones believed to be benign like magnesium stearates or maltodetxtrin.
There are also solvents used in extraction, or cleaners of the manufacturing machines.
I'm not going to provide scientific documentation about mag strearate, i've known this for decades, I've moved on.)
Minerals
I find it necessary to take some extra minerals that can be isolated.
Minerals can't be synthesized, they are basic elements of the universe so more natural in that sense.
I find that with many things only the best supplements are worth taking.
I use energetic testing to find the best. Find my posts and web pages on energetic testing--I can't explain everything every time I write.
Can You Feel Supplements Working?
I have heard numerous stories of people who got off all their supplements and felt better.
Practitioners who do energetic testing routinely tell people to stop taking many supplement sometimes all of their supplements.
Many people are not feeling that actual feedback they are using theoretical reasons to make their decisions
One reason people see supplements as necessary is the fixation on the measureable, as if what is not measured does not exist.
You don’t see the zinc content of red meat listed, but it is one of the highest sources of zinc.
Meat is more than protein and fat.
And they don't know the facts of what to look for
I have heard things like, “Raisins are pure sugar.” Apparently he sees food as nothing but macronutrients while micro nutrients of vitamins and minerals are only found in supplements as he was defending the supplement boron over raisins as a rich food source of boron. .
MEDICAL VS HOLISTIC PARADIGMS
It’s not just the supplements that are the problem, but the theory behind their use, which is more in the medical paradigm that sees each thing as separate and seeks to match symptoms with pills, “take this for that.” The alternative is to focus on nutritional deficiencies themselves as the root causes of many symptoms. You need a method of testing: labs or energetic testing.
It’s easier to focus on the relatively few root causes than the many symptoms.
The body can begin to heal itself when it gets all the nutrients it needs. This includes detoxification and fighting infection that depend on basic cellular function first as the basis of organs doing their jobs: immune systems, detoxification systems, ability to sleep and digest, etc.
The body is only as strong as its weakest links. A good place to start is to identify nutrient deficiencies. Each nutrient has dozens or thousands of functions in the body. That is where the leverage is. Don’t get lost in fancy technical lab tests that are sometimes just describing symptoms in way that makes it seem like you need experts. It's better to follow ancestoral wisdom, things selected for survival for thousands of years.
Boring Basics Boost Biggest Benefits:
The right forms of protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, sunlight and grounding.
Nutrition is both chemistry and physics. If you can't afford supplements, get out in the sun all you can, it's free and even more important.
