Why Dietary Supplements?

Why Dietary Supplements?

1. Overwhelming Evidence of the Need for Nutritional Supplementation.
   The US Senate Document #264 and the 1992 Earth Summit Report document an 85% mineral depletion of our farm and range soils, over the past 100 years in North America. Based on the above percentages, the grasses deficient in minerals and vitamin content and therefore we are also mineral and vitamin deficient in all the foods we eat.
   
   
   
2. Startling Farming Methods. Fruits and vegetables are cultivated using chemical fertilizers, pesticides and waste contaminants. Harvested prematurely and artificially ripened, they are then sprayed, processed, radiated and coated with toxic chemicals to improve their appearance and prolong their shelf life. Actual nutritional values for land vegetables are highly questionable.
   
   
   
3. Frightening Livestock Production Practices. Beef, poultry and pork are loaded with antibiotics, hormones, steroids, drugs and toxic chemicals to reduce the risk of disease in overcrowded pens and to increase yield. These substances accumulate in our bodies, interfere with normal body functions, trigger abnormal immune responses, and are often carcinogens. As well, the "transfer" of antibiotics from animals to humans is resulting in bacteria and viruses that have adapted to antibiotics, thus reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics taken by humans.
   
   
4. Alarming Increase in Immune System Disorders. Over the past 5 years, the incidence of immune system disorders has increased more than 20%
   
   
5. Hectic Lifestyles. Stress, pressure, jobs, finances, family, crime, taxes, divorce... all rob us of vital energy and essential nutrients.
   
   
6. Overweight. Studies suggest that as many as 60% if North Americans are overweight. Excess weight is a major cause of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.
   
   
7. Fatigue and Lack of Energy. Doctors report that the number one health complaint is extreme fatigue and lack of Energy.
   
   
8. Bowel Irregularities. Stagnating waste poisons every organ of the body, making life miserable.
   
   
9. Environmental Pollution. The air we breathe and the water we drink are highly contaminated.
   
   
10. Substance Abuse. Alcohol, tobacco and drugs all have horrible side effects
