Nutrition Clinic uses food supplements to provide concentrated nutrients in a timely manner to promote healing in the tissues of our patients. These supplements are made from real food. Aren't all supplements real food? No, not by a long shot. Many vitamins are made in chemistry laboratories and have never seen soil in their life.
Nutrition Clinic is very picky about nutrient formulations. Real food is grown on real soil. And therefore has real nutrient combinations. Most of our soil in North America has been so “petrochemicalized” (herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides) for decades that the biochemistry has been altered enough that earthworms won’t live in it. Most soil has been so altered that some minerals, such as chromium and calcium, are no longer bioavailable to the plants grown there. Such plants are nutrient deficient so they contribute to nutrient-deficient animals that eat those plants and then to nutrient-deficient human beings who eat the animals and the plants. "Houston, we have a problem."
We take the deficient plants (wheat and corn for the cereals we eat for breakfasts for example) and then further process them with heat (plants hate excess heat) thereby "adding insult to injury" by condemning to death many more nutrients. Mother Nature knows better, and so do our bodies. We are designed to eat nutrient-rich food, not synthetically produced substitutes (sprayed on food). The insults we impose on our bodies eventually appear in the form of symptoms and physical difficulties.
Those who come to Nutrition Clinic seek information, guidance, and physical assistance. One of the first things our patients learn is that food configures nutrients (vitamins, minerals and enzymes), not as isolated things, but as complexes--rich with co-nutrients and co-enzymes packed with balanced support and cellular benefits.
For example Vitamin C, the most used vitamin supplement in the world, is not just ascorbic acid (its legal name) but includes all the bioflavenoids (capillary integrity) and organic copper (tyrosinase needed for hormone balance) and raw materials to assemble Vitamin K (needed to move calcium to bone). Looking at the way Mother Nature creates food and configures nutrients we find it's always a complex of many factors woven together and designed for our body tissues and real needs when they arise.
Potency is not just a numbers game--the assumption that more and more of single things equals potency. Potency is complexity and balance--presenting all the factors necessary for cellular restoration and health .
For these reasons, Nutrition Clinic uses a professional line of supplements made from food presenting nutrients the way Mother Nature has designed it. The supplements are used to ensure a timely revitalization of tissue health until the quality of the diet improves.
