Buying Supplements Can Be Tricky: Our Recommendation

So What Supplements Do You Need?

My top 3 recommendation on what supplements to take:

1. Vitamin D3 + K2 – without vitamin K2 (the MK-7 version,) vitamin D does not absorb properly.  the measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level by a reliable assay as the initial diagnostic test in patients at risk for deficiency.

Sun exposure frequently during the week is your absolute best source!

2. Magnesium – Magnesium glycenate is a good bioavailable version. Much of the population is deficient here as well. Those dealing with a chronic pain disorder tend to have greater deficiencies. Screening for chronic magnesium deficiency is difficult because a normal serum level may still be associated with moderate to severe deficiency. To date, there is no simple and accurate laboratory test to determine the total body magnesium status in humans.

Eating a more species specific diet involving animal-based nutrition is your best way to ensure your needs are met. Plant-based nutrition does not provide essentials and the RDA amounts listed are not what can be absorbed – that’s the key – what can you absorb.

Mg is essential in the metabolism of vitamin D, and taking large doses of vitamin D can induce severe depletion of Mg. Adequate magnesium supplementation should be considered as an important aspect of vitamin D therapy.

You may also need to REMOVE some things from your diet as opposed to adding anything more. Did you know that certain foods can literally cause inflammation?

My top 3 recommendations on what substances to avoid or limit:

1. Vegetable and Seed Oils! These oils are not a natural food whatsoever! It is a billion dollar industry so you have been educated by mainstream media and educational institutions to use this instead of natural fats such as tallow, lard, and butter.  Even medical school education is structured to educate physicians to recommend these oils as “heart healthy.” It’s cherry-picked science.

Vegetable oils are bad for you

Even worse, your body accepts these highly, chemically processed, man-made fats as actual fat and uses it to construct the cell membranes in your body. This is where problems occur, because this type of fat does not function properly and your body eventually reacts to it – you’ve heard of these problems: inflammation, heart disease, cancer, insulin resistance, etc.

Unfortunately, the healthy fats such as animal tallow (beef tallow,) true lard, and butter have been falsely vilified. Actual science shows these fats to be very healthy and have nothing to do with human disease. The lack of these fats leads to problems as they are the only fats that contain ESSENTIAL human nutrition! Plant-based fats, vegetable oils, fruit oils, and seed oils do not.

You are an animal. Synthetic products will only lead to harm. You evolved via your ancestors eating other animals and minimal plant-life depending on the era. We became smaller and more disease-ridden starting about 10,000 years ago when agriculture practices came to be. Cavities, crooked teeth, diabetes, and all the modern diseases started. In the last 100 years, they’ve skyrocketed. Since the 80’s, we now accept chronic disease as a norm as 1 in 3 people have one. It’s not normal, but it’s common.

Interestingly, there is now evidence that shows that many of the diseases of afflicting the upper crust in early Egyptian times is related to seed oils! it was formerly thought that stored grains were the culprit, but only Egyptian royalty and upper classes had these diabetic-like diseases whereas the general populace did not. The difference was that the upper class had access to pressed-oils from seeds, and it took a lot of labor to create/process that oil.

2. Corn, Wheat, and Processed Dairy

wheat corn and dairy CLICK HERE for a very good article on such food sensititivies involving corn, wheat, and dairy that will not only surprise you, but you’ll also find some answers to your concerns about weight gain and maybe some other problems you have that don’t make sense.

Raw Dairy is an excellent source of essential nutrition! Even if you are lactose intolerant or have a suspected dairy sensitivity, trying it raw is highly recommended.

The problem is finding a good raw dairy source! Raw cheeses are much easier to find, but raw milk and cream are policed even more aggressive than street drugs! The feds literally raid farms suspected of selling raw dairy in some states where it is illegal. Interesting how all things truly healthy are vilified and made illegal! Maybe it has to do with the fact that there is no money in you being healthy? Think about it.

3. Artificial sweeteners – we don’t know the long term effect of these things. But early findings suggest our bodies don’t really do well with them. You can also check out the book by Dr. Russell Blalock, Excitotoxins – The Taste that Kills.

Moreover, even when you trick your body with these fake sugars, your insulin levels still spike. Your blood sugar may not elevate, but your insulin response remains about the same. That extra insulin completely halts any fat loss and also adds to your fat reserves! That’s why these substances have never shown any efficacy in helping achieve true, sustained fat loss. Just the opposite!

3.5 (had to include this as it’s a moral imperative): Sugar. Sugar is actually considered inflammatory as well. Most consider sugar the primary cause of weight gain due to its immediate effect on insulin, and it is; however, it actually contributes to inflammation in the body.  Foods that convert to sugar very fast are also in this group. Foods such as white bread, most wheat breads (yes even whole grain), and pasta are common.

4. Nightshades: related to nicotine and suspected inflammatory foods;  tomatoes, white potatoes, bell peppers (or any kind of pepper), and egg plant.

You can click the picture to take you to a nice blog by someone well-versed in nightshades and their ill effects on people with auto-immune disorders.

You can still eat nightshades once you figure out how much you can handle before you get any symptoms. Those symptoms are related to inflammation, and unchecked inflammation is what kills us over time as it is directly linked to all modern chronic disease – including the #1 killer, heart disease.

Always check with your medical provider before making any changes in your diet, especially if you are under medical supervision. Although not specifically trained in nutrition, medical doctors are the highest trained professionals in human ailments and disease, and their knowledge should be respected and used.
