********************************************************************************* Fallacy of Single Nutrient SupplementsYou have all read headlines such as, “New Research Shows XX Milligrams of XXXX Lowers Cholesterol and Prevents Heart Disease by 50%.” So everyone jumps on the bandwagon and shops for isolated supplements with at least XX mg. of nutrient XXXX. Obviously, the more milligrams, the better the supplement. Some of the most frequently asked questions of our holistic whole food products (not supplements) are:
Obviously, these questions are focused on a single nutrient matched to treat a specific symptom or health condition. This is the allopathic Western medicine way of “fixing” the body or supplementing the symptoms. Our holistic research has found high doses of a single nutrient may make the symptoms disappear but there also may be side effects or holistic consequences. Here is our wholistic perspective on the fallacy of using single nutrient supplements. WholeFoods Magazine called astaxanthin King of Carotenoids (“How Astaxanthin Benefits the Whole Body,” 01/25/2017). Astaxanthin has been shown in research to offer protection against antioxidant damage, cellular damage in the brain, help to relieve pain and inflammation, support good eye health and even help reduce damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Do a search of "astaxanthin" on the Internet and you will find many manufacturers offering the maximum recommended dosage of 10-12 mg per day with the following advertising claims:
When Dr. Michael Kiriac began his bio-algae concentrates research back in 1973, he rejected using astaxanthin as a stand-alone, separate nutrient because it yielded only short term results. This was often followed by toxic reactions and no long term cancer prevention, not even cancer remission benefits in animals. Dr. Michael Kiriac confirmed the Western medical principle of supplementing the symptoms with single nutrient supplements is not complete and only treats the symptoms. But when he used astaxanthin as part of his bio-algae concentrates blend, it became a major component of the successful elimination of cancer in 20+ species of animals tested. To learn why full spectrum nutrition is better than supplementing the symptoms with single nutrients, read our following newsletter articles:
Full Spectrum Nutrition Have you ever had your symptoms return after stopping or reducing an isolated supplement? Early 20th century research showed taking isolated Vitamin C in the form of an ascorbic acid supplement only got rid of the symptoms of scurvy. When the ascorbic acid supplement is discontinued the symptoms and disease returns. However, if one gets Vitamin C made from an extract of whole green peppers not only do the symptoms disappear but the scurvy is gone when discontinued. Vitamin C in the form of a whole food product contains rutin, bioflavonoids, Vitamin E, selenium and zinc that Nature dictated is needed for Vitamin C to work optimally in our body. For more details, read the following newsletter article: Vitamin C Did you know taking or giving your pet high doses of glucosamine may impair insulin secretion? See our newsletter article: STOP Supplementing Symptoms Did you know digestive enzymes are not entirely “wholistic”? Click the link below: Why Taking Digestive Enzymes is Not Entirely Holistic From our 90+ years of combined holistic living experience and what we have learned by NOT supplementing the symptoms, we believe in and put our faith in the full-spectrum, whole superfood nutrition of BioSuperfood for our people clients and BioPreparation for their pets (furry children). To find out how the microalgae in BioSuperfood and BioPreparation are different than other blue-green algae, Spirulina and chlorella products, click the hyperlink [Algae]. Hopefully, we have given you enough holistic facts to convince you of the fallacy of using single nutrient supplements to just treat your or your pet's symptoms.
