Why Bother to Supplement?<\/h3>\n

Dr. James Scala, who was a nutritional doctor for Mount Everest expeditions, \u00a0shares the statistic that over 60% of all deaths are related to poor diet. \u201c\u2026over 5 people in America die every 2 minutes from an illness that proper nutrition could have either prevented completely or put far into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

To think that 60% of all deaths could be prevented if we only put enough nutrition into our bodies is mind boggling. In ‘developed’ countries, we have a\u00a0food abundance and yet we are starving to death! How can\u00a0that be?\u00a0Here are 7 answers.<\/p>\n

1. Much of the\u00a0foods we eat today are empty of nutrition. We are eating too much\u00a0overly processed foods, frankenstein GMO foods, \u00a0poor quality foods, and too little natural foods in proper ratios.<\/p>\n

2. Agricultural practices have interfered with plants\u2019 abilities to convert raw elements from the earth into bioavailable minerals and amino acids. Our plants are mineral and amino acid deficient.<\/p>\n

3. Our society is trained to turn to medical prescriptions to solve the diseases we are becoming afflicted with. All drugs have harmful side effects that rob our immune systems from doing their job of sustaining our health.<\/p>\n

4. We have forgotten that it is energy from the sun, from exercise, from love, from unprocessed foods with nutrients, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, essential fatty acids that will keep our bodies healthy and strong, as well as help our bodies recover from any illness we may be afflicted with. So nutrition in our present day is totally disregarded as the solution to all diseased conditions.<\/p>\n

5. Dr. Scala stated that baby boomers may be the last generation to have increased longevity, and that their\u00a0children will have a reduced average life span. He also said that with optimum nutrition, we should be living to 120 years!<\/p>\n

6. Dr. Scala formulated the SynerPro<\/strong>\u00a0(Syner<\/strong>gystic Pro<\/strong>tectors) concentrate for NSP over 25 years ago, way ahead of his time. This concentrate contains broccoli, cabbage, carrot, red beet, rosemary, tomato, turmeric, grapefruit & orange bioflavonoids, and hesperidin. As detailed in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, pages 175 – 180 these phytonutrients and phytochemicals are powerhouses for healthy cells. The concentrate blend adds nutrition, energy & enhances absorption of the SynerPro B Complex and SynerPro Calcium- Magnesium. \u00a0Years after his formulations, mainstream started expounding the benefits of lycopenes in tomatoes, anti-inflammatories in turmeric, flavonoids in rosemary, etc.<\/p>\n

7. Benoit’s 284 page book <\/strong>contains great wisdom on correct diet for building health, no matter what condition a person has. Her Case Studies & Testimonials answer many\u00a0questions that clients have had. Recipes to start making healthier choices are found in Chapter 10.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Supplement?<\/h3>\n

Many people are choosing to make\u00a0improved food choices, as well as\u00a0supplementing their intake with\u00a0vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplemental superfoods<\/a>.<\/strong> A good decision! \u00a0But far too many people\u00a0end up spending too much money on worthless supplements.<\/p>\n

The missing\u00a0factor is quality control. Not all supplements are\u00a0 the same. \u00a0Diligent research and tests from independent labs such as Brunswick, show that only 15% of nutritional & herbal companies actually have in<\/strong> the bottle what is printed on<\/strong> the label. That is because\u00a085% of all supplements on the market are made by 3rd party companies. In other words, a company takes another company\u2019s products and sticks their own labels on it, then\u00a0sells them.\u00a0 There is no quality control here.<\/p>\n

Nature\u2019s Sunshine is second to none in quality. Our standards are so consistent that we get results. Nature\u2019s Sunshine has more than the required certifications as they decided in 1972 \u00a0to invest in quality control, in addition to research & development. Nature\u2019s Sunshine goes so far that they make their own capsules, so they know they are free from fillers and questionable ingredients. Pure,\u00a0 Potent and Proven<\/strong> for over 50 years.<\/p>\n

Nature\u2019s Sunshine does not own any farms and therefore they are in no way obligated to sell products that may be of lesser quality. Quality is never compromised because of bad crops, harvesting, drying, or storage. They are free to choose the best quality from around the world, and they do.<\/p>\n

One example is\u00a0Kelp, which comes from Nova Scotia. 600 \u00a0tests are performed on this one plant before it is released for production. One of these testing procedures is Geiger counter testing for radioactivity. \u00a0All products are manufactured in the Utah\u00a0state of the art manufacturing facility, where every single batch of herbs is fully tested.\u00a0All test samples are kept for 6 years. Having an organic or wild crafted label means nothing if this degree of testing is not performed. NSP is above and beyond organic; it is potent!<\/p>\n

We are very proud to \u00a0educate & distribute a product line that demonstrates such a high\u00a0 level of\u00a0 sincere integrity.
