What supplementation is needed?

When we talk about nutrition we must consider the following: The cause of many, if not all, chronic disease (diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc.) is because of two things; Deficiency and/or Toxicity. When our bodies are either toxic or deficient, disease or lack of balance will eventually occur. Consequently, in order to be healthy, we must do everything we can to make sure we are sufficient and pure. Our body is like a fine-tuned engine that needs specific nutrients everyday in order to function properly. In today’s environment, it’s impossible (it’s been proven) to be nutritionally sufficient without taking nutritional supplements on a daily basis. Even if you think you are eating all organic foods, you are most likely deficient in many nutrients. So the question then is; “What do I need to take every day to become sufficient?” I recommend the following to all of my patients.

1. Fish Oil
2. Probiotics
3. Vitamin D 
4. An organic multi-mineral/multi-vitamin
   

Omega Sufficiency™ is the purest, most natural Fish Oil available with natural EPA:DHA ratios and no artificial chemical concentration. Because of this Omega Sufficiency™ is aligned with the human genetic requirements for Omega 3 consumption and thus provides the maximal health and prevention benefits.

Omega Sufficiency™ is the world’s premier EPA/DHA Omega 3 Fish Oil. Each teaspoon or four capsules provides 720-825 mg of EPA and 480-550 mg of DHA Omega 3 essential fatty acids which have been scientifically shown to be a crucial requirement for health and important in the prevention of illnesses such as heart disease, arthritis, ADD, depression, stroke, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, eczema, learning and cognitive development problems, and Alzheimer’s.

Omega Sufficiency™ is extracted in a licensed pharmaceutical grade facility from cold water anchovies, herring and sardines that are the purest source of omega 3 Fish Oil. The oil is purified in a non-chemical molecular distillation process that removes all trace amounts of heavy metals, PCBs, organochlorides and organophosphate pesticides resulting in the safest, purest source of EPA/DHA Fish Oil possible. As the oil is purified, it’s immediately infused with our natural, proprietary, antioxidant blend consisting of rosemary extract, ascorbyl palmitate and natural mixed tocopherols. This process ensures the greatest oxidation protection possible. There simply is not a better, purer source of EPA/DHA Omega 3 fatty acids in the world.

Our extraction process keeps the Fish Oil in its most natural form possible, this is crucial because human beings are genetically designed to ingest, digest and absorb EPA and DHA essential fatty acids in the form they are found in nature, not in any concentrated form produced by chemical processing. If science and experience have taught us anything. it's that we cannot improve upon nature.

Probiotics

1. Probiotic bacteria are ESSENTIAL for wellness and prevention. The human body contains 90 percent microorganisms and only 10 percent human cells. Dietary sufficiency of healthy microorganisms (probiotics) is necessary for the proper function of the digestive and immune systems and for overall wellness and prevention. (CLICK HERE FOR PROBIOTICS VIDEO)

2. The Western diet is dangerously deficient in Probiotics bacteria. Research shows that we now consume one millionth of the healthy probiotics bacteria that we did before pesticides, herbicides, and industrial farming. We also kill many of our probiotic bacteria with poor nutrition, prescription drugs, and stress. This deficiency of healthy probiotics bacteria is implicated as a casual factor in lack of health and vitality and an alarming number of preventable illnesses from infancy to old age.

3. The only way to obtain sufficient amounts of healthy probiotics bacteria is through daily supplementation. The dietary sources of probiotics bacteria are virtually unavailable in industrialized society. Our fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides, much of our food is pasteurized or irradiated and we don’t consume sufficient amounts of fresh, raw, local foods.

4. It’s essential to supplement with the correct type of probiotics bacteria. The type and source of probiotics that we are designed to benefit from comes from soil, fruit, and vegetables -- not dairy, soy, corn or wheat. The type of probiotics bacteria we require was established thousands of years before humans developed agriculture or consumed dairy, soy, wheat or grains. Probiotic Sufficiency™ contains the correct type of probiotic bacteria.

Vitamin D

The issue of Vitamin D deficiency as a major causal factor in immune system related illnesses ranging from seasonal cold and flu, to heart disease, to cancer, to atopic and autoimmune disorders has received a lot of attention in the last few years. Clinical journals as well as the mainstream media have been reporting evidence that modern industrialized humans are severely deficient in Vitamin D and that this deficiency is a major contributing factor to illness and lack of health and vitality.

What does Vitamin D do and why is it so important for wellness and prevention? Before we discuss the evidence regarding Vitamin D sufficiency and health and Vitamin D deficiency and illness, let’s first look at the basic science regarding the importance of Vitamin D for human immune function and health. A basic understanding of why Vitamin D is a genetic human requirement for wellness and prevention will allow greater understanding of why Vitamin D supplementation is required.

The innate immune system is the component of our immune system that is genetically programmed to respond to antigens (viruses, bacteria, fungi, and any other threatening non-self invaders). The innate immune system uses what are termed effectors that are genetically coded to respond to antigens or invaders. The most studied of these effectors are named antimicrobial peptides or AMPs. AMPs not only attack the invaders they also trigger tissue repair and activate the adaptive or acquired immune system (the branch of the immune system that creates antibodies to specific antigens after exposure). Recent research has shown that Vitamin D up-regulates the genetic expression of AMPs in immune cells. Vitamin D also plays an important role in controlling the inflammatory response initiated by specialized immune cells called macrophages. A deficiency of Vitamin D means deficient control of inflammation. In the skin, Vitamin D also activates the immune system against antigens.

Research indicates that:

1. Vitamin D is essential for wellness and prevention. Sufficient levels of Vitamin D are necessary for the proper function of the immune system, for cardiovascular health, for bone growth and repair and for overall wellness and prevention. Those who’re deficient in Vitamin D live shorter, more illness plagued lives than those who are sufficient in vitamin D. Vitamin D is an essential genetic requirement for human wellness and prevention.

2. Industrial humans are dangerously deficient in Vitamin D. Humans are genetically designed to get their Vitamin D from daily sunlight. Modern humans living in Northern climates simply cannot get enough sun exposure to produce sufficient levels of Vitamin D. Even those who live in sunny climates rarely, if ever, get enough sun exposure due to clothing and use of sunscreens.

3. The only way to assure sufficient amounts of Vitamin D is through daily supplementation. Dietary sources of Vitamin D are simply not sufficient. Genetically humans are not designed to get vitamin D from food; we are designed to get it from sun exposure. The only way to get sufficient amounts of Vitamin D is to supplement with Vitamin D3, the same form of vitamin D that is produced by sun exposure.

Organic Sufficiency™ provides full disclosure of the natural vitamin and mineral content and is 100percent free of synthetic vitamins. All minerals are from plant sources and are thus in the form required for proper human digestion and absorption.

Research indicates that:

1. Whole fruits and vegetables contain natural vitamins and minerals that are essential for wellness and prevention. to date science has identified 13 vitamins and 15 minerals that are essential for health, vitality, wellness and prevention. Research is also clarifying the essential role of phytochemicals, antioxidants, cofactors, and activators and it's widely accepted that understanding in this area is in its infancy.

2. The Western Industrial diet is dangerously deficient in essential nutrients from whole fruits and vegetables. Research is clear that we are deficient in our intake of fresh raw fruits and vegetables. We also know that Modern industrial farming techniques produce fruits and vegetables that contain significantly reduced amounts of essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants compared to wild fruits and vegetables.

3. Supplementation is a logical, affordable, and practical way to ensure sufficient intake of these essential nutrients. Although eating and juicing 10 servings of multicolored, local, organic, vine ripened fresh fruits and vegetables is the best way to ensure sufficient essential nutrient intake the fact is that most do not meet this requirement on a regular basis. Proper supplementation is an affordable, practical way to ensure sufficient intake of essential nutrients from whole fruits and vegetables.

4. A 100 perceny organic, 100 percent raw, 100 percent naturally occurring, 100 percent synthetic-free, vine ripened, multicolored, whole food supplement is the best, safest and most effective supplement choice you can make. Science is clear that what we require for wellness and prevention is sufficient amounts of the full spectrum of nutrients in their natural form as found in 100 oercent organic raw whole fruits and vegetables. To ensure that the fruit and vegetable sources are PURE and that the supplement itself contains only natural nutrients the supplement must also be 100 percent certified organic and 100 percent synthetic-free. Organic Sufficiency™ meets all of these exacting standards. In fact, Organic Sufficiency™ has set the standard.

Questions you need to ask about your supplements!

1. What is the difference between organic and 100% percent certified organic? Everything! Unless it‘s 100 percent certified organic it means you are ingesting non-organic ingredients with every serving – period - no exceptions. This is why insisted on 100 percent organic certification for everything to do with Organic Sufficiency™ including growing, harvesting, processing, and bottling.

2. What is the difference between natural and synthetic vitamins? Everything! to put it simply it is the difference between a 100 percent safe and beneficial natural occurring live food product and a potentially harmful chemical manufacturing product. that’s a big difference! natural whole food vitamins are in their natural state as living complexes with specific co-factors, enzymes, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and organi mineral activators – they are in the form that is congruent with our genetic biological needs. Synthetic vitamins are not from foods or anything else a human would normally eat – they are chemically isolated fractions of vitamins chemically produced from things such as coal tar. This is why Organic Sufficiency™ contains only 100 percent natural whole food vitamins and minerals and is 100 percent synthetic-free.
