2010-08-29T19:05:00.000-07:00

Does fish oil or Omega fatty acids, for that matter work? Yes, of course they do. But not in tiny amounts. All vitamins and nutrients, with some exceptions, work better in high doses.

As for Fish Oil and other Omega 3 containing foods, are they good? Certainly. But the amount must be large. This is why supplementation is so important.

2010-08-27T18:51:00.000-07:00

With the rash of Salmonella outbreaks it is imperative that people take a careful look at their food and food sources. Unclean production methods and unclean transit can alter dramatically the quality of ones life.

There are ways to combat the risk even further. Liberal use of Vitamin C, Garlic, and Elderberry can be used to combat illness. It is also important that one maintains a healthy immune system which can withstand the attacks from compromised food. Elderberry is commonly used to combat the flu and is widely used to enhance the bodys immune system. This is important to take note of, a weakened immune system is what inevitably leads to a more severe and dangerous outcome when exposed to any bacteria. The stronger your immune system the less likely you will find yourself in a dangerous situation.

Quality of Suplements

2010-07-23T04:52:00.000-07:00

When product A is selling for 1 dollar from company X and 6 dollars from company Y you would be cautioned to look at the label. There are numerous companies producing vitamins of all sorts. But it is best to stick with the well established brands. Solgar, Vitamin Shoppe, Twin Lab.

Healing the Natural Way

The cure to most sickness and health concerns are readily available to everyone. The reliance upon modern prescription medication has caused most to forget the most important part, which is prevention. Healing the body and strengthening the body is different than treating the illness which is the purview of most modern medicine.
