Treating your health problems with Vita-Nutrients

Can You Manage Your Own Case?
As a layperson, you are not likely to have the medical knowledge and experience necessary to treat your own illnesses. Therefore you should work with your primary care doctor to evaluate what may be causing any problems you are experiencing and the state of your health in general. (Pinpointing the cause of your health problems, after all, is the basic principle of complementary medicine and of prescribing appropriate vita-nutrients.)

Will Your Doctor Help?
Given the state of resistance to nutritional medicine, you should make certain that your doctor shares your desire to maximize nutrition therapy, resorting to drugs and medications only for emergencies and for cases where the nutrition fails to optimize your health.

– If this fails, sadly, you may still need to change doctors.
– If a recalcitrant physician has been assigned to you through a managed care organization, you should complain to the administrators of your plan.
– If they hear enough similar complaints, they will be forced to incorporate nutritional medicine.

The very idea that my suggestions may lead you to abandon standard medical care in favour of a nutritional approach to your health care may cause mainstream practitioners to choke on their breakfast cereals. And if I were recommending over- the-counter medications or herbs with druglike effects, too, would feel that I was subjecting my readers to unnecessary risks. But I’m dealing with nutritional substances with a safety margin so great that as long as you observe a few necessary caveats, you will not subject yourself to risk. That’s why when I say a nutrient is worth trying, you can assume that the worst thing that could happen is nothing.

Because the all nutrients been researched and tested, it is safe to assume that as long as you observe a few necessary caveats, they are risk-free. However, taking prescribed medications with vita-nutrients could be a whole different story. Make sure your doctor is completely familiar with the effectiveness of the vita-nutrients you will be using. Nutrients can do the same things as drugs and in certain circumstances can turn drugs into an overdose. Should that happen, the wiser strategy would be to decrease the pharmaceutical dosage.

Nutrients are not only safer than drugs; they are natural to the body. Our bodies are geared to handle nutrients because they belong there. However, they are not always equipped to handle newly invented chemical synthetics. Modern-day illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes are really diet-related disorders, and part of their treatment involves correcting deficiencies – of antioxidants, minerals such as magnesium and chromium, and other vita-nutrients such as coenzyme Q10 and carnitine. There can be no deficiency of beta-blockers or antidiabetic drugs.
