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.'

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.'

Big Pharma's Toxic Drugs are Based on Isolates from Natural Cures

'Face the facts: Those who adhere to Western Medicine are stuck with risky and expensive counterfeits of Mother Nature. Those who embrace Mother Nature by choosing nutrition are able to use natural cures without risking their lives.'

-- Shane Ellison, M.Sc.

'There are life-saving distinctions between a drug and its natural- based predecessor. A prescription drug is a single isolate. A nutritional supplement contains a multitude of active substances. This distinction makes drugs more dangerous and less effective than nutritional supplements. As a single isolate, a drug does not target the underlying cause of illness. It only masks symptoms. Further, a drug isolate has no "buffers" to offset negative side-effects.


'In sharp contrast, nutritional supplements utilize an array of ingredients to attack the illness at its core while striving to mitigate negative side-effects. If safe and effective, then why don't drug companies distribute nutritional supplements? The answer is very simple. They clash with the drug-company business model. Natural medicine cannot be patented and subsequently monopolized. Only dangerous, man-made prescription drugs carry patent rights. And this is what satisfies a drug company's voracious appetite for wealth.'

'Patent rights allow for checkbook science (the practice of funding, designing and interpreting the results of drug research), exclusivity and inflated prices. Add to that an army of good-looking, slick and foolish thinking sales reps and you have the world’s most successful business model – corporate drug dealing. While profitable, this model is currently killing an estimated 200,000 people every year.'
