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.
