Greetings! Capsules and tablets that you put down your throat can be broken down into three categories. One category is harmful, the second one is more harmful and the last category is beneficial to your body. |

Not really vitamins ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first category of pills are labeled as vitamins but
they really are not. The food companies,
pharmaceutical companies, and the federal
government call these substances vitamins. They
are somewhat nutritional and somewhat
pharmaceutical. Let's call them "nutriceuticals". In
large quantities, they overwhelm and bypass the
control mechanisms of the nervous system. They
change physiology to bring about a desired effect- an
effect that the physician wants, not necessarily what
the body wants.
As an example, read a vitamin bottle and see if there is "ascorbic acid" on the label. Industry calls "ascorbic acid" Vitamin C. Ascorbic Acid is actually the protective anti-oxidant outer layer around the whole vitamin C comlex. The vitamin C complex is a very large molecule of which only 4% is ascorbic acid. Your body can only digest 200 mg of ascorbic acid a day. Does your "vitamin" pill have more than 200 mg of this fractionated vitamin? As another example, let's look at thiamine mononitrate. It is a poisonous version of Vitamin B1. Thiamine mononitrate can cause periodontal disease. Nutriceuticals are "safer medicine" than pharmaceuticals but they are not nutritional.

Pharmaceutical Pills ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pharmaceutical pills bypass the control mechanisms
of the liver and nervous system. Only small doses
are needed to force a reaction when compared to
nutriceuticals. Pharmaceuticals in general are good
for suppressing symptoms and keeping people alive
once their health has dwindled to near death. They
are absolutely necessary for about 20% of the
population. The other 80% are still able to heal
naturally.
Pharmceutical pills are designed to stop a symptom for a short period of time. Their cure rate is very low, some estimate as low as 5%. Their deadly side effects, though, are high. Conventional medicine is the leading cause of death in the United States.

Whole Foods Concentrated Into Pill Form ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whole foods, unadulterated, concentrated into a pill
without the use of heat or chemical extractors are
the best kinds of pills. Think of it as concentrated
nutrition. Nutrition brings about normal physiology.
This is the best way to approach your health care
but...
You may be on a perfect diet but cannot lose weight or stop your fatigue, astma, etc. For you, good nutrition isn't getting rid of your health problem. The control mechanisms of your liver and nervous system are not allowing healing to occur for some reason. Only drugs seem to help your situation because they bypass the control mechanisms. The truth is, you have something blocking your ability to heal. It could be a toxicity, scar, immune challenge, nutritional deficiency, organ congestion or food allergy. Finding and addressing these simple concerns is good, conservative, safe, effective and inexpensive medicine. Dr. Schmidt can help you with these issues. |
