We here at Cardinal Acupuncture have several suggestion for maintaining health. Even though most people believe that they are getting the vitamins and mineral that they need from their food source, most are not. It is our belief that most disease is caused by some sort of nutritional deficiency, and the best way to correct the deficiency is through eating a variety of wholesome, preferably organic foods. so here are a few other suggestions.
  1. Eat fresh organic, locally grown fruits and vegetables
  2. Eat a low grain diet-best grains are brown rice, quinoa, millet, buckwheat- these are gluten free
  3. Organic- pasture fed- meats and eggs
  4. Fresh wild harvested fish
  5. Sea vegetables, celtic sea salt
  6. Beans-except soy-peas and lintels
  7. Raw nuts and seeds
  8. Raw organic wheat germ e.g. Bob's or naturfresh

We also suggest that if you are taking supplement and vitamins that are synthetic and petroleum based- we suggest you stop taking them. There have been several studies that show taking these vitamins are actually more harmful to you than not taking them. These include almost all drug store and grocery store brands of vitamins.

When an isolated nutrient is ingested, most of it is rushed through the circulation and flushed out through the kidneys because the body does not recognize it as food, but rather as something foreign. Any remaining amounts of these isolated nutrients in the body must be processed. The body may try to use a fraction or synthetic by reassembling it with the parts of its otherwise natural complex in order to use it metabolically. In doing this, it may deplete the body of stores of important nutrients. And the effects are usually pharmacological in nature-stimulating, suppressing, or interfering with some biological function.
