WHY WE NEED NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
Finally after more than 50 years, leading medical journals now recommend all adults take multi-vitamins. The New England Journal of Medicine & the Journal of the American Medical Association have concluded:
• Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone
• Inadequate intake of several vitamins has been linked to chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease, cancer & osteoporosis
• Suboptimal folic acid levels including vitamins B6 & B12 are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, neural tube defects, colon & breast cancer. Low levels of vitamin D contribute to osteoporosis & bone fractures & low levels of antioxidants (vitamin A, E & C) increase the risk of several chronic diseases
WHY WE CAN'T DEPEND ON FOOD ALONE FOR ESSENTIAL NUTRITION
1. The average Australian is overfed & undernourished. It's no secret, just look around you. Most people are gaining weight. If you're like most Australians, you're consuming fabricated convenience foods high in calories but low in nutritional food value. This type of diet leads to subclinical or marginal deficiencies that lead to vague health complaints such as nervousness, recurring minor infections, general aches & pains, difficulty concentrating, irritability, depression, muscle weakness, fatigue, insomnia & just not feeling right. A recent study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture survey of 20,000 people, found not a single person was consuming adequate levels of all vitamins & minerals. In this study, the percentage of Americans we deficient as follows: 90% deficient in vitamin B6, 75% in magnesium, 68% in calcium, 57% in iron, 50% in vitamin A, 45% in vitamin B1, 41% in vitamin C, 34% in vitamin B2, 34% in vitamin B12..........& the list goes on. There are hundreds of medical studies to suggest that every member of your family is deficient in one or more essential nutrients

2. Modern mass-production agriculture depletes nutrients from the soil without ever replenishing them. The application of synthetic fertilizers stimulates the growth of plants, however the nutrient content is missing. So when we bite into that healthy salad or slice of whole wheat bread, we're getting less nutrition today than from the identical foods grown in the same soil 50 years ago

3. Most of the food we eat is processed in one way or another. Processing means foods are exposed to heat, light, oxygen or drastic change in temperature & humidity. This exposure causes the destruction of vital but fragile nutrients. Examples of processing include baking, milling, grinding, boiling, cooking etc

4. All foods deteriorate as they age & is a major problem for the food industry. Chemicals are added to preserve foods giving them a longer shelf life. Unfortunately, despite chemicals, the nutrient content of foods declining over time, eventhough they look the same. Fresh fruits & vegetables are often sprayed, gassed or fumigated to make them look ripe & fresh. What we see as healthy looking isn't always as it seems

5. 50 years ago we may have not needed multi-vitamins, however our current environment, daily stress, commercial lifestyle & exposure to disease & chemicals warrants supplementation of antioxidants, vitamins & vital minerals

6. We dump nearly six billion pounds of chemicals into our environment every year. While some of it ends up in our food, the majority is in our air & water. Medical research has clearly established that environmental chemicals contribute to degenerative diseases

MAGNESIUM- Over the past 19 years I have recommended Magnesium to many clients. Magnesium comes in different salts (forms) from oxides to sulphates to chelates etc. Magnesium Oxide is basically a laxative & not a recommended form to consume if trying to increase a magnesium deficiency. Unfortunately, many magnesium supplements available in supermarket & pharmacy are an oxide form due to its cheap cost of manufacture. I recommend a mixed form of magnesium which does not include oxides & can be found in Oriental Botanicals Magnesium Excel - an excellent mixed form of magnesium. Always remember a health supplement should mimic a food thus making it a genuine natural supplement

Naturopathy is a whole medical system striving to restore & promote positive health by removing obstructions in vitality, whilst supporting the body's hard wired self-healing disposition. Nature is astonishingly resilient. One of the features of naturopathic medicine is its strong philosophical foundation. This foundation is built on the medicinal power of nature which recognizes all living forms possess a self-regulatory, inherent ability for self-healing operating in an intelligent, orderly fashion. There is a difference between how an individual part functions & heals & the integration of this whole-body process when the whole body is engaged. It is the physician’s role to bring out or enhance this integral healing power. Unlike most other systems of medicine, naturopathic medicine is defined by its principles & philosophy

FUNDAMENTAL IN NATUROPATHIC PHILOSOPHY
7 BASIC PRINCIPLES
1.The Healing Power of Nature: Naturopathic medicine recognizes all living systems have an innate ability to heal it-self. Our vital force promotes self-cleansing, self-repair & thus self-healing. The Naturopaths role is to facilitate this natural process
2.Treat the Cause: Naturopaths are trained to identify & remove the underlying cause of disease- these causes can exist at the physical, mental, emotional & spiritual levels. A Naturopaths role is to identify, treat & remove the cause rather than suppress symptoms
3.First Do No Harm: Only use safe & effective methods & medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects, using the least force necessary to diagnose & assist in the restoration of health
4.Treat the Whole Being: Treat the living being holistically, consider the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social & environmental factors that make up the total state of health
5.Doctor as teacher: Naturopaths educate their patients by empowering encouraging & motivating patients
6. Preventative Medicine: Avoid the development of more serious diseases. They achieve this by educating & encouraging people about life habits that support health
7. Wellness: To help the patient establish & maintain optimum health & balance by promoting wellness. Wellness is essential in everyone no matter what diseases are being experienced

Let's take a deep dive into highly consumed over the counter pharmaceutical toxic medicines available in pharmacy & recommended by Doctors-

An Australian law firm has filed a class action against global pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson accusing it of selling medicines known to be ineffective.

Lawyers at JGA Saddler allege the company falsely stated medications such as Codral Day and Night, Sudafed PE and Benedryl PE relieve congestion.

The action relates to tablets containing phenylephrine, a substance which the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last year declared was not an effective nasal decongestant when taken in tablet form.

Johnson & Johnson's advertising for Codral Day and Night states, "Phenylephrine helps to relieve blocked and runny noses".

Similarly, the packaging for Sudafed PE refers to phenylephrine as a "nasal decongestant" and the medication's website says it "provides fast, powerful relief from sinus pressure and nasal congestion".

HERB OF THE WEEK (Hydrastis Canadensis)
Goldenseal contains calcium, iron, manganese, vitamin A, C, E & B-complex as well as many isoquinoline alkaloids, including hydrastine, berberine, canadine, essential oils, fatty oils & resins. These alkaloids protect our immune system due to its natural antibiotic action. Goldenseal is one of the most popular herbs sold on the American market today & the American Indians used it regularly to treat many ailments including skin conditions, indigestion, whopping couth, diarrhoea, liver disease, flatulence, fever & pneumonia. Goldenseal is effective against bacteria by inhibiting their ability to adhere to tissue surfaces & has a reputation as a powerful blood cleanser. It aids against infections of the mucous membranes such as the lining of the oral cavity, throat, sinus, bronchi, urinary & gastrointestinal tract. Clinical studies have shown Goldenseal to be effective in the treatment of E. coli, salmonella, giardiasis & cholera. Externally, a wash can be prepared to treat skin conditions such as fungal infections, eczema, ringworm, wounds & infected sores. A herbalist is best at prescribing Goldenseal & I have used this herb to treat conditions such as respiratory disorders, sinusitis, skin & urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal disturbances & irritable bowel syndrome. In a nutshell Goldenseal is effective in cleansing the mucous lining of the body (respiratory, gastro, urinary, skin) whilst boosting our natural defence system. I take Nature’s Sunshine Goldenseal capsules for a month at 3 month intervals as part of my wellness & prevention plan
