I have been aware of my body's nutritional needs for some decades now. This is because I would go long periods of time without food. Not from necessity but because I used to fast. I tested various nutritional supplements that were on the market at the time and have to say the majority of them were just a waste of money. In this respect I can concur with medical opinion that multi-vitamins result in expensive urine.



One brand of multi-vitamin, however, did make a difference, so I began taking that on a regular basis. Some years later, another brand of multi-vitamin came on the market. A friend of mine, who happens to be a veterinary surgeon, has found, by taking these at optimum levels, they enable him to have a better day. Sadly, most people who take the product skimp on dosage and do not derive the benefit they should.

Myself, I went one step further. I tested a number of products that were on the market in powder form. I went without food and attempted to see how long I could last living on the powdered products, and still go for my thirty-minute run every morning. I found I could last up to three days and then my body would start to feel weak.

Eventually, I stumbled on a product that enabled me to go one whole week without feeling any weakness and gave me a sense of well-being. I used to swear by the product, telling people that this was what was given to people who were dying to keep them alive. I said this because of what I was told by hospital staff once. The pharmacist who originally sold the product to me said that the product was for old people not someone young like me. But I figured if it was designed for old people because of their failing health, it would have to be of benefit to me. Prevention is always better than cure.

I took the product on a regular basis over a number of years, but the product did not prevent me from suffering a worn out cartilage and early osteoporosis, particularly in my left leg. My left leg got so bad that the knee would lock and I was experiencing continual pain. The medical doctor, I sought advice from, arranged for some tests and then informed me that I would be a cripple in a couple of years and I should avoid stairs.

Surprisingly, vets know a lot more about nutrition than medical doctors. So I decided to have a talk with my veterinarian friend. He put me on to a product, which is given to dogs with arthritis. I love dogs, so I did not have a problem being numbered among them for treatment. You would not have believed it, in a matter of days, my leg was improving.

Now I was still taking my other supplements because it made me feel full of energy throughout the day. But this product the vet gave me was ghastly to eat, so I would put it in milk and began adding a couple of spoonfuls of brewers yeast to it so I could consume the stuff. After two months, my leg was feeling better but I began feeling like I was being poisoned. My vet friend was surprised I ordered another tin from him, but I noted that his wife, who was suffering the same problem as myself, did not take the product, she had a knee reconstruction instead.

As fate would have it, just after treating myself like a dog, a pharmacist introduced me to another product that had performed miracles for him. I started taking the product, and after five years, I had my bone density tested. Amazingly, my bone density is now that of a 20 year old.

While I am unable to mention the name of the product here, over the years I have become not only aware of the importance of nutrition, but also of the importance of getting the right nutrition.

Just having a few supplements is insufficient for good health. What we need is a optimal balance of synergistic nutrition that includes fatty acids, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Also, in the polluted climate of today, detoxifying herbs to protect the body daily. This is what the product I use contains.
