False information about health & disease is a serious health concern

We offer seminars in our medical center that are aimed at imparting medical information that is basic to help people learn about their physiology.  If you do not understand how a health body works how will you comprehend your problems if you develop them?  More importantly, how does the body stay healthy?  That is our focus.

A diagnostic test is not prevention, checking your blood pressure does not prevent anything, it detects something.  Knowing your cholesterol count is not prevention, a colonoscopy is not prevention.  These measures may be important but they are not PREVENTING anything, they are detecting something.  What you DO about it is prevention.  Or could be. 

Disease sets in when some normal function goes wacky or there is a deficiency of something that is required for health.  Your attention to learning basics things to keep yourself healthy will protect you as you age.

For instance, did you know vitamins and minerals are cofactors in chemical reactions in the body?  Did you know that if  you have a deficiency of one of them a toxin can take the place of the required substance on a cell membrane and wreak havoc with your health.  Not only will you suffer from a deficiency but now you have the problems the opportunistic toxin caused.

Are Your Vitamin Supplements and Herbs or Amino Acids Dangerous?

In a short article in the Townsend Letter, April 2010, there is the shocking information that in 2008 report (most recent data available) of the US National Poison Data System published in the journal Clinical Toxicology shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins, zero deaths from any of the B vitamins, zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E and zero deaths from any other vitamin.  No deaths from amino acids or herbal products and zero deaths from dietary mineral supplements.
Here is the real story they reported;  “Over half of the US population takes daily nutritional supplements.  If each one of those people took only one single tablet daily, that makes 154,000,000 individual doses per day, for a total of over 56 billion doses annually.” People take more than one vitamin a day.  According to the FDA and news media these are dangerous pills.  OR…. could it be these facts are dangerous to the drug companies bottom line? 

Each of us needs to dedicate the next year to seeking the truth on subjects we are concerned with.  We need to set the example of truth in data and utterances and perhaps our government and its agencies will catch on, you know your behavior is contagious.  Good or bad.

Contrast this information with all the deaths attributed to the correct prescription use of pharmaceutical drugs, not to mention the incorrect use, and I am going to stick with my supplements, organic foods and enjoy the production and extra time I create with my health.
