If you exercise, be sure to increase your uptake of nutritional supplements and superfoods

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

There are hundreds, actually thousands, of different phytonutrients found in foods and nutritional supplements. These are also very important to get into your body when you follow an intense physical exercise program. Eating raw nuts and seeds, I think, is also extremely important. It does not mean this has to be half of your diet, but it needs to be present in your diet at least once a day, if not more than once a day. It is only through this superior supplementation that your body can adapt to the physical stresses you have placed upon it through exercise.
Superfood nutrients and high-quality nutritional supplements from the kind of companies I recommend here on NewsTarget. Aim for a combination of food-based and supplement-based nutrition. Personally, I start each morning with a superfood smoothie that contains a massive serving of various superfood concentrates. This preps my body for the day, allowing me to engage in intense exercise without entering into a nutritionally deficient state. Remember when you exercise, you place a much higher nutritional demand on your biochemistry.

FDA seizes $71k in herbal tea products as campaign of censorship against nutritional supplements continues

The FDA is well known for its censorship efforts against nutritional supplements. Earlier this year, the agency sent threatening letters to 29 cherry growers, warning them to remove all links to scientific literature describing the anti-inflammatory effects of phytonutrients found in cherries. Merely linking to such studies from a web page, the FDA warned, instantly transformed cherries into drugs requiring FDA approval. The FDA believes that the dissemination of scientific information about the health benefits of fruits, vegetables and plants simply cannot be tolerated.
Our last defense against medical tyranny: Free Speech The only reason that I am able to tell you the truth about the FDA is because I sell no nutritional supplements and earn no money from the sale of such supplements. The FDA has no authority over this article. If they did, I would have been imprisoned and censored off the internet years ago.
Freedom of speech is simply not allowed for anyone selling food, herbs or nutritional supplements of any kind. Simply stating obvious truths -- like "vitamin C cures scurvy" or "chocolate makes the brain feel happy" -- is enough to land you in federal prison courtesy of the pharmaceutical thugs running the Fraud and Drug Administration. Today, we live under a system of medical tyranny engineered by the agency that, in an honest world, should be protecting consumers and finding ways to help enhance their health rather than focusing on ways to exploit them for Big Pharma profits.
Charantea is simply the latest victim in an ongoing war against health-enhancing nutritional supplements being waged by the FDA / Big Pharma gang. Charantea was targeted precisely because their product actually works. While the FDA will openly tolerate useless synthetic vitamins (which are mostly made by pharmaceutical companies anyway), the rogue agency will not tolerate herbal products that actually work to cure cancer, halt diabetes, reverse heart disease or otherwise strip revenues from Big Pharma by eliminating disease. Personally, I hope you support this company just to spite the FDA.

Vitamin warning! Some nutritional supplements use hydrogenated oils as filler

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

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.

It contains helpful advice on the clinical use of Diet and Nutrition, Fasting, Herbal Medicine, Homeopathy, Bach Flower Remedies, Aromatherapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupressure, Hydrotherapy, Natural Hormones, Bodywork, Exercise and Stress Reduction, and nutritional supplements. Part Three contains a comprehensive glossary of unfamiliar medical terms, as well as a Resource Guide for Holistic Practitioners. This section describes the training and the holistic approach of individual practitioners, as well as contact information for a reliable referral.
Many times, it is a comprehensive protocol of several natural therapies, such as dietary changes, nutritional supplements, exercise, and other natural techniques. In other cases, a patient may require a combination of natural and conventional therapies. This is often seen with cancer, cardiovascular disease, and advanced diabetes, as well as in cases of emergency care. Where we differ from mainstream doctors is that we believe nonemergency conditions and most chronic health problems should be dealt with by using holistic therapies, whenever possible.
Buying and preparing natural foods can be a challenge for busy parents, but your perseverance will be rewarded with a healthier child and a stronger family. nutritional supplements can work extremely well for most children to correct underlying biochemical imbalances.
This category of diabetes is most often linked to a diet that is high in refined carbohydrates and low in fiber, and it can usually be treated with an effective diet, exercise, and specific nutritional supplements. The third category is known as gestational diabetes, diabetes that occurs during a woman's pregnancy. All three types of diabetes are very serious medical conditions. When left unmon-itored and untreated, blood-sugar levels can swing from dramatically low (hypoglycemia) to dangerously high (hyperglycemia).
Since there are so many different choices of nutritional supplements, we also provide a general recommendation section. This includes other fine choices of supplements that are commonly available for each condition. Homeopathy. Homeopathy is such a distinct field, compared to other nutritional practices, and it often requires more detailed information. We include a section on the most important homeopathic remedies and how to choose one that best fits your profile. Acupressure.

Whole food nutritional supplements offer better health benefits than isolated vitamins and minerals

I can't imagine living a single day without taking dozens of nutritional supplements made from whole-food concentrates. They aren't pills or medicine, in my view: they're just high-density food. This article is a content segment from the book, the Five Habits of Health Transformation by Mike Adams. The book covers the five most effective, yet effortless strategies for enhancing health. Written for busy people, it explains how to get the greatest health results possible with the least investment in time, money or effort.

We have seen many patients with mood disorders recover when the proper nutritional supplements were used. The relationship of the schizophrenias to nutrition is not as clear. But since the most effective treatments include modification of the diet and the use of vitamin B-3 and vitamin B-6 as the main supplements, it must be a major factor. There are patients who are allergic to foods as well as to other chemicals. We have treated over 100 patients who had not responded well enough to our program of drugs and vitamins by having them do a 4-day fast. The majority was well by the fifth day.

Vitamin warning! Some nutritional supplements use hydrogenated oils as filler

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

I recommend you spend your money wisely on nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbs from passionate, honest companies you can trust. Of course, they're going to be slightly more expensive, if not a lot more expensive. But aren't you worth it? If you're going through the trouble of taking these supplements, shouldn't you put the best thing you can find into your body? Don't you deserve healthy supplements, rather than supplements packaged with hydrogenated oils and other poisons that are legalized by our system of corrupt government and private industry?
It's funny that people complain about how much money it costs to buy nutritional supplements. Then, they go out and spend a few dollars on vitamins that will actually make them sick. They think they're getting a bargain. I say that you might as well spend your money on cigarettes, you know? You might as well eat some fried chicken. If you're going to spend $6 on a bottle of vitamins that are bad for you, then skip the whole thing and just go eat some hamburgers at the local fast food restaurant or some cookies from the grocery store. Of course, I don't recommend that anyone do any of that.

Also, nutritional supplements can help to lessen genetic tendencies. The amount of calories someone consumes is an obvious reason for weight gain. Consuming too many calories without burning them results in a simple mathematical reality—weight gain. To stay within a certain parameter for your metabolism, it is helpful to grasp the concept of general calorie amounts of commonly consumed foods. The second important concept, after calorie consumption, is the calories expended through movement and exercise. The more calories are utilized for energy, the less will go toward fat accumulation.

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.

In Zambia, the nutritional supplements were provided to a childcare and adoption society. The initial report from this organization was on 15 orphans and guardians who were HIV/AIDS patients. Several also had tuberculosis. Most people given the supplements improved within the first 2 weeks. A noticeable improvement started between the second and third week of taking the supplements. Their complexions, hair texture, and general outlook of their bodies improved.

That's the real world of nutritional supplements "research." Of course, none of that has anything to do with reality because, in the real world, vitamin E is extremely healthy. It's very good for you, even in higher doses than most people take, and it's found naturally in nuts and seeds. Salmon oil is also very good for your health in many ways; not just your heart health, but also for your nervous system health, for stabilizing blood sugar and for providing nutrition and lubrication to some of the cells, organs and tissues in your body. There are so many healthy products out there.
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. What a foolish thing to do, but people do it every single day in this country. Lawmakers deserve a lot of blame and shame for allowing this to go on, in my view.

Her condition failed to improve despite nutritional supplements, a food elimination diet, and a trial of spironolactone. In the year prior to her consultation, she counted her lost hairs daily and was unable to find any consistent pattern, although sometimes there was no significant hair loss for up to 4 days. She noted that her hair seemed less "lively and healthy" than it used to be. Every time she dyed her hair, her cervical lymph nodes would swell up; however, she continued to use a hair dye. She also noted the recent onset of occasional burning sensations in her scalp.

Most importantly for NewsTarget readers, Paul is the primary Congressional sponsor of the "Health Freedom Protection Act" that seeks to end the FDA's censorship of nutritional supplements, granting the American public full access to scientifically accurate information about the benefits of herbs, superfoods and nutritional supplements. Why the FDA censors the truth about healing foods and supplements Current FDA regulations do not allow nutritional supplement manufacturers to make any true statements about the health benefits of their products.

Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong

Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts
Since patients can't prescribe drugs for themselves, they often turn to an endless procession of nutritional supplements. I'm still surprised by patients' automatic trust in these "natural" products. I sometimes find that when I do prescribe a drug, a patient making a return visit will tell me that he or she didn't try it, afraid of the side effects. But paradoxically, the patient will also tell me that he or she is taking a series of nutritional supplements or other products from the health-food store, without ever questioning the effects they may be causing.

The big vitamin scare: American Medical Association claims vitamins may kill you (opinion)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
And that is, of course, their goal: to use FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to scare consumers away from nutritional supplements so that patients will flock to the patented, synthetic chemicals that earn drug companies billions of dollars in profits. Drugs make money for Big Pharma, and vitamins compete with drug sales. Once you understand the economics and the motives of the parties involved here, the junk science con becomes quite obvious: Pushers of pharmaceuticals will always use dirty tricks to discredit nutritional supplements because it is in their financial interests to do so.

Amazon Herb Company earns top recommendation: Top distributors and products listed

And Amazon John has seen my vitamin shelf in person, and he will confirm it is, indeed, an entire cabinet of nutritional supplements. What I did, actually, is I bought seven large CD storage towers, then modified them to hold vitamin bottles and herbal tincture bottles. I personally own more nutritional supplements than you see at many vitamin shops... odd, but true. Some people collect lift tickets, I collect nutritional supplements. Continuing with the product recommendations, I'm a huge fan of Recovazon, a product I consider to be a miracle healing medicine.

The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing

Medicines are not always bad any more than nutritional supplements are always good, because people can be harmed from inappropriately using nutritional supplements, especially herbs that have pharmacological effects in certain doses." According to Dr. Richard Kunin, people tend to have ideas about health habits that are too generalized. "Before Linus Pauling and the word 'ortho-molecular,' most people thought they were in the avant-garde if they took a multivitamin.

Vitamin E death risk scare has some people avoiding nutritional supplements to their own detriment

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
REPPED: What's most interesting about the recent headlines scaring people away from vitamin E is the fact that not a single article in the mainstream press has yet mentioned these studies were conducted on synthetic vitamin E, not the natural vitamin E provided by whole foods, nuts, seeds, wheat germ and various high-quality nutritional supplements. To review what has happened here, these studies looked at the health effect of a synthetic chemical that has been misnamed "vitamin E" because it has a similar molecular structure.
