Everything our bodies do, they
do by converting or producing
chemicals in cells. The
proteins that form muscles,
tendons and ligaments are
built in cells. The hormones
that regulate stress response,
sexual activity, the central
nervous system, water
retention and so on are built
in cells. The conversion of
glucose into energy happens in
cells.
The factors our immune systems
make to fight infection or
disease are made in cells.
Oxygen reaches the blood from
the lungs by traveling in
cells. Foods are digested
because enzymes and acids are
produced, you guessed it, in
cells. In short, without
living, functioning cells, we
could neither walk nor talk,
speak nor think, nor so much
as bat an eye.
What does all this mean? That
health is simply the
reflection of how efficiently
our cells do their work. And
this is determined, in large
part, by the nutrients they
draw from our foods.
Phyto-Chemicals
For many years, supplements
consisted of vitamins and
minerals -- and nothing else.
The reason was simple.
Research had not yet unlocked
the wondrous world of
phyto-nutrients.
Phyto-nutrients (also known as
phyto-chemicals) are factors
that are found only in plants.
Plants make them to protect
their own cells against molds,
yeasts, fungi, germs, viruses,
bacteria, and the oxidation
caused by free radicals. When
we consume them, they protect
our cells in the same ways. So
far as medical science knows,
there is nothing else on earth
that can protect cells from
damage, maintain efficient
cellular function, and protect
health.
Dieticians, nutritionists and
doctors agree that we should
eat more fruits and vegetables
because these foods are the
most common sources of
phyto-nutrients. Science now
agrees that children should
get at least five cup sized
servings each day, adult women
should get nine, and adult men
should get up to 13. Yet, less
than one in 10 Americans get
even half of what they need.
This creates a phyto-nutrient
deficiency that undermines
health by limiting every type
of cellular function.
Why don't we eat seven to 13
cups of fruits and vegetables
each day? Because, it's hard
to eat 13 cups of anything,
and because fruits and
vegetables are not most
people's favorite foods.
In the last decade,
phyto-nutrients have begun to
show up in supplements. But,
most supplements provide them
only in limited varieties and
amounts. Well designed
supplements can deliver the
amounts and varieties of
phyto-nutrients we need to
make a major difference in our
health. But, to do so, they
must include not only a wide
variety of fruit and vegetable
concentrates, but the world's
great SuperFoods and Superior
Herbs, as well.
SuperFoods
Because of the success of
products made by Jery Cochern
and Pat Bailey, many companies
started using small amounts of
true SuperFoods in their
supplements. Others began to
use common table foods, like
spinach and broccoli, and call
them SuperFoods.
While there are many wondrous
foods that do taste good
enough to eat, the term
"SuperFoods" is reserved by
nutritionists for foods that
contain huge levels of
completely digestible
proteins, and that also
provide valuable
phyto-nutrient complexes.
These foods include Spirulina
(over 60% protein) and the
juices of young Oat, Wheat and
Barley sprouts (about 45%
protein).
These foods are all rich in
chlorophyll. In addition,
Spirulina provides phycocyanin
(an antioxidant that is being
studied for countless
protective health benefits)
and is the only known source
of premade glycogen (the
molecule the human body uses
to store excess energy). The
juice of grasses contain vast
numbers of enzymes, including
SOD, which is considered to be
a master antioxidant (protects
cells from free radical
oxidation).
Because these foods provide
such large amounts of protein,
plus a complete array of
naturally occurring vitamins
and minerals, they give cells
almost everything they need to
produce energy. Because they
also contain antioxidant
phyto-nutrients, they also
keep cells in top working order.
Superior Herbs
There are three major
categories of herbs. The first
is culinary, for use in
cooking. The second is
medicinal. These herbs are
called "inferior" by
Traditional Chinese Medicine,
because their purpose is to be
used temporarily while we
recover from "inferior"
states. The third is tonifying
by Traditional Chinese
Medicine because they build
health, which is the
"superior" state.
Superior Herbs are the world's
oldest and most profound
dietary supplements. They have
been used in holistic medical
systems for nearly 4000 years.
They are best defined as
plants whose phyto-nutrients
strengthen, invigorate or
restore normal function to at
least one major organ or
gland. They are so important
because they contain very
unique phyto-nutrients that
are found in no other plants
on earth. Because these
phyto-nutrients work on
specific types of cells, you
can use single (or small
groups of) Superior Herbs to
benefit a single organ or body
function, or in larger
groupings to support your
cells as a whole.
Superior Herbs are the
superstars of the botanical
kingdom. They are, in truth,
the greatest of all the
SuperFoods. They should play a
significant role in everyone's
daily supplement regimen.
