I put this program in a couple of newsletters every year as a reminder that we all need to add to our diets certain micronutrients that big agribusiness has taken away.
U.S. Department of Agriculture studies show that in the last fifty years our food’s micronutrient content has dropped by between 30 and 50%. That means that when grandma was growing up she got a lot more nutrition from her food than her grandchildren do.
Additionally, thanks to Monsanto, today between 70 and 90% of our foods contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) that have been rejected by most European countries as being unhealthy. The choice is easy, supplement or sickness.
Determine the basic needs, depending on your age, from the chart below. Then use these links to get additional information on the suggested supplements listed in the following Supplementation Program.
- Vitamin C – Ascorbate-C • C-1000
- Multi-mineral and multi-vitamin – Glyco-Min
- Vitamin E – E-Mixed Tocopherols
- Glandular and Mineral – Bone 350 Plus
- Digestive Aid – Di-Acid Stim
If you have concerns about specific health issues, please contact Dr. David during the Health Help Hotline hours.
