Supplementation means adding something extra to an already existing diet (nutritional protocol) to meet certain goals.  The reason for supplements is very simple. For example, our ancestors used to eat all organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains and perfectly blended food.  Their soil was very rich with all constituents, while today our soil is very poor, and exploited by super-developed civilizations.  Their air was pure, while today so many acids, chemicals and gases pollute our air that it is very toxic for plants and vegetation.  Our ancestors’ water was crystal-clear, and rich in minerals and trace elements coming from its interaction with rocky formations. Their water was energetically charged with healing frequencies that come from an ecologically stable planet; while today we must buy water in bottles, because our water supplies are loaded with heavy metals, chemicals, chlorine, etc.—you name it. 

For all these reasons combined, the quality of our air, food, and water is such that it does not even come close to meeting our needs for vitamins, minerals, enzymes, carbohydrates, fats and proteins.  It becomes necessary to supplement these items from various sources and add them to our diet and nutrition. The most difficult question is: Which vitamins, minerals and polysaccharides do we need?  Of course, good quality supplements are essential, but that does not answer the question, because every one of us has different needs for different nutrients. This is where it becomes paramount to individualize the nutritional approach.

In our office, we first assess the patient by using an EAV machine. By testing the patient with a battery of various nutrients, alone and in combination, we are able to determine which ones will benefit the patient and which ones will not.  By recommending to the patient the supplements that test the best for that particular patient, we are actually doing personalized or individualized nutrition. That is far superior to just taking any high quality nutritional product, thinking that it will do only good and no harm, provided it is organic and a multivitamin.

The problem is that every substance that enters the body and passes through the intestines gets channeled to the liver where it must be “metabolized.” To metabolize the substance requires that different specialized “workers” must come and work on the substance to dismantle it and direct it outside the liver to its destination somewhere else in the body.  The specialized “workers” we call enzymes. In the business world, specialists charge a lot of money to do their work, and they charge by the hour.  In the same manner, enzymes are very expensive. They charge the body a lot of energy to perform their job, not by the hour, but by the minutes and seconds.  Therefore, if the body does not really need that substance, then the substance is highly taxing to metabolize and the process steals energy from the patient. You can imagine the effect this would have on a cancer patient or anyone who is chronically ill with a low level of energy to work with in the first place. So now, draw your own conclusions. Taking supplements in an uncontrolled fashion is not the recommended course. You have to be selective, taking into account the economy of the body. Therefore, preparing an individualized nutritional protocol is the best approach for the patient.
