All Things Are Not Created Equal: Huge Gaps In Quality In The Natural Health Industry

'Dr. Eldon Dahl explains how product quality is being sacrificed for convenience and price point ultimately creating an entire industry filled with supplements of non-therapeutic value.

Think of the natural health industry as a beautifully healthy, organic orange tree. Now, if you can imagine, cut a wedge in that tree’s trunk, and graft in a foreign branch that is not from the origin--for instance, a nonorganic lemon tree branch. Once the original tree accepts the new branch, both the orange and the lemon will feed from the same roots.

Using this illustration, imagine the lemon branch as a grafted in government-regulated health product, having non-therapeutic value, and a price-directed licensed formulation. Both are feeding from the original roots--that is, the natural health food industry--but one is efficacious, while the other is not. The two are not equal. What is the difference? The lemon was never intended to be part of the original tree, yet through regulations it remains protected while it feeds from the original host.'

6 Bodily Tissues That Can Be Regenerated Through Nutrition

'It may come as a surprise to some, especially those with conventional medical training, but the default state of the body is one of ceaseless regeneration. Without the flame-like process of continual cell turnover within the body – life and death ceaselessly intertwined – the miracle of the human body would not exist.


In times of illness, however, regenerative processes are overcome by degenerative ones. This is where medicine may perform its most noble feat, nudging the body back into balance with foods, herbs, nutrients, healing energies, i.e. healing intention. Today, however, drug-based medicine invariably uses chemicals that have not one iota of regenerative potential; to the contrary, they almost always interfere with bodily self-renewal in order to suppress the symptoms against which they are applied.'

Supplements: The Real Story - Natural or Synthetic? Foods or Tablets?

'It's a nutritional "Catch 22": The public is told, confusingly: "Vitamins are good, but vitamin supplements are not. Only vitamins from food will help you. So just eat a good diet. Do not take supplements! 

But by the way, there is no difference between natural and synthetic vitamins." Wait a minute. What's the real story here? A recent health study reported that the risk of heart failure decreased with increasing blood levels of vitamin C [1]. The benefit of vitamin C (ascorbate) was highly significant. Persons with the lowest plasma levels of ascorbate had the highest risk of heart failure, and persons with the highest levels of vitamin C had the lowest risk of heart failure. 

This finding confirms the knowledge derived over the last 50 years that vitamin C is a major essential factor in cardiovascular health [2,3]. The study raises several important questions about diet and vitamin supplements.'
