Nutrition to Balance the Demands of Civilization
& Promote Healing

Nutritional Therapy goes beyond what most people think of when they hear the word, nutrition. Nutrition is almost synonymous with life. No nutrition—no life. Poor nutrition, poor life. High tech life requires high tech nutrition. What does that mean? Well look around at what we eat and where it comes from. Our food varies as much from the primitive food our caveman ancestors ate as our homes vary from their caves. We live in a high tech world, and our bodies have not evolved to catch up with the evolution of our food supply and the work it has to do to keep us alive and healthy. It was simple for the caveman. Hunt food and kill it or gather it. It had not been grown on depleted, soil with pesticides and artificial fertilizer. The animals had not been fed on depleted grains and antibiotics and genetically modified organisms. Their food was not processed, preserved, colored, flavored, packaged, shipped, stored and sometimes worse.

Their food gave them enough Vitamins and minerals. Now we have to take supplements to meet our needs. To know those needs requires study and experience. We have been studying nutrition and toxicity for about four decades, and we know a lot about it. We are still learning, but we are able to make a large difference in the quality of life by recommending the appropriate diet and supplements. We now have a panoply of elegant nutrients from which to choose to make up for the nutritional losses of the food supply, toxic exposure and various other demands of civilization and high tech living.

When we treat diseases like Lyme Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Heart Disease, Myalgia, we know we must boost the immune and endocrine systems to do their best. We need healthy, well nourished immunity to free us from the threat of Diabetes, High Blood pressure, etc. We also can give nutrition a boost by giving intravenous and intramuscular shots to fulfill needs that might not be fully met by oral ingestion. Sometimes intravenous Vitamin C is like manna from Heaven.

Nutrition is the foundation of healing.
