The Truth about Supplements
There is an overwhelming number of supplements on the
market leavening many consumers confused.
If we look a little closer we discover there are really only
2 kinds of supplements to choose from; those that are natural and
those that are not.
The hard part is knowing the difference. Marketers will do anything
to convince you their product is either "natural" or is so high-tech
it’s somehow "better" than natural.
The need for supplementation is not at question.
As we decrease the variety of plant-foods we eat and increasing
the amount of synthetic or highly processed foods, we strip our
diet of essential nutrients while simultaneously exposing our
weakened defences to more toxins.
Australian research of 44 common fruits and vegetables reveals
up to 60% reduction of essential nutrients when compared with
only a few decades ago.
Supplementing to fill in those nutritional gaps appears a wise move.
The question now becomes, “fill in the gaps with what?”
According to Australian researchers, the world’s richest source
of critical nutrients come from our own back-yard. Exciting discoveries
from the Australian Outback place many Bush Foods into the record books.

Here's good advice for practice: go into partnership with nature;
she does more than half the work and asks none of the fee. ~Martin H. Fischer
