Are All Natural Health Supplements Worth Taking?

By Peter Sunartic

Despite a health budget in the trillions of dollars, we seem all seem to be getting sicker and sicker. We're fatter, less fit, and get cancer way more often than we used to a hundred years ago. It seems mainstream medicine is failing us. Should we be taking all natural health supplements instead?

Now I'm not saying mainstream medicine is failing us totally, they have made some huge breakthroughs in recent years. Look at how the cure rate for cancer has gone up. But we still seem to be getting cancer at a higher rate than ever before.

So the problem is as much the rate or incidence of disease as the ability to cure it. And whilst mainstream medicine focuses on cure, all natural health supplements focus on prevention.

Of course there is plenty more that we can be doing to help prevent poor health. A good diet, rich in fresh fruit and vegetables and low in fats, particularly saturated fats, and low in salt and sugar is essential, as is regular exercise, but there is growing evidence that good dietary supplementation is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.

This is true for a variety of reasons. There is growing evidence that our horticultural practices of intensive monoculture farming are robbing the soil of the essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies need for optimum health. And if they aren't in the soil they can't be in the fruit and vegetables.

Ditto the obscene use of chemical fertilizers, and the jury is out on GM food, though I for one don't want to eat any of it.

But there is also evidence that there are so many different natural substances that could be hugely beneficial to our health, and even if we know about them we are unlikely to be able to satisfactorily add them to a daily diet.

Just today I have been reading about new research results on two naturally occurring substances, resveratrol and curcumin. Both are showing extreme promise against a range of health ailments and should be a part of a good diet, but it's extremely difficult to do so unless you take a high quality all natural dietary supplement.

There are some excellent niche health care and dietary supplement companies at the forefront of research into producing the highest quality all natural health supplements, and chances are you've never heard of these companies.

And there is one company that is in front of all of them that is producing an extremely high quality all natural dietary supplement range that includes 77 different natural substances known to have benefits against a wide range of health problems. And all 77 are combined into a world class delivery system, and the delivery system is one of the most essential components of any range of nutritional supplements.

Yes there is plenty of evidence that you should be daily taking an all natural health supplement. Yes our disease rates are definitely rising courtesy of our Western lifestyle, and we need to allow medicine to pay attention to cures while we pay attention to prevention through the use of intelligent dietary supplementation.

Think about it, do you want to ever have to rely on a doctor for cure?
