Many "Fad Diet" Attempts Are Fruitless!

The main reason why people fail in their supplement , diet regimes is they aren't aware of the hard science of measuring if their body is absorbing these "super foods & drinks." They are more attached to the marketing idea of a "magical food." They don't know if they need them or not either.

Holistic Systems Science vs. Reductionist Modern Medicine

Key Advantages

Targets root causes, not just symptoms like conventional approaches.
Excels in emergencies but falls short on prevention and long-term wellness.
Delivers personalized strategies over generic, one-size-fits-all treatments.

Biochemistry Explains It All

Integrate both worlds for comprehensive, balanced healthcare.
Your body thrives on overlooked foundational nutrients and elements.
Consult a botanist: True healing starts with terrain, not just symptoms.

Aligned for Mutual Success

Pharma-funded research prioritizes acute fixes over holistic insights.
Misses early cellular nutrient signals that prevent bigger issues.
Breaks the body into isolated parts, ignoring interconnected systems.

“Modern medicine is not scientific, it is full of prejudice, illogic and susceptible to advertising. Doctors are not taught to reason, they are programmed to believe in whatever their medical schools teach them and the leading doctors tell them. Over the past 20 years the drug companies, with their enormous wealth, have taken medicine over and now control its research, what is taught and the information released to the public.” – Dr. Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, former Chief of Psychiatry 1950s Saskatchewan Canada, founder of Orthomolecular Nutrition Source

I Know You're Skeptical -- I Was Confused As Most Are

You're not a hypochondriac or "mentally ill"

You may have been told these things by "conventional" practitioners but you're none of these things mainly because they don't take a systems biology view of your body, mind, lifestyle and biochemistry. Instead, they are mainly focused on acute issues and focusing on labeling conditions to treat only those small set of symptoms rather than the larger picture.

Public distrust of the "sick care" system is relatively high in the United States & Western world. Yet, many people still cling to the general idea that they aren't sure what or who to believe in regards to the concept of "health care" -- many are confused, apathetic and hold contradictory beliefs on many topics but especially the concept of "health care." The reality is at least in the Western world we have "sick care" focused on acute issues and managing of those symptoms often until you're old and frail with drugs, surgeries, and the massively astronomical expense in terms of your health, family/social relations, as well as financial.

There's a classic quote from the Dalai Lama, who when asked what surprised him the most about humanity, replied:

“Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Insidiousness of creeping poor health

Rising Health Crises

Boomers and those in their 50s live longer but face poorer health than prior generations.
Obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease strike harder in the 50s to 70s age group.
Younger generations encounter these conditions earlier, signaling a broad health decline.

Aging Myths Busted

Declines in vitality, cognition, or sexual health are not an unavoidable part of aging.
Aging features genomic instability, telomere shortening, and alterations in gene expression.
These changes reduce insulin sensitivity and impair brain, vision, hearing, and touch functions.

Smarter Symptom Solutions

Nutritional symptomatology analyzes symptoms to reveal underlying causes and cellular issues.
It addresses digestive problems, overall wellness, and root cellular dysfunctions effectively.
Contrasts with modern science's isolated, symptom-focused approach to health problems.

"I do not trust 'modern science' yet I also don't trust this site" why is that?

"Many people hold contradictory beliefs in many concepts of life but subjects related to health are some of the largest. Many don't trust "modern medicine" yet don't know alternatives excepts such concepts as adopting singular ideas they often convince themselves something positive is happening to their body and life.

1. One concept many still can't break out of is they mainly only think about measuring their health when they "become sick."

An example is many people run to singular, untargeted modalities such as acunpuncturists, massage therapists, chiropractors and others who aren't trained in analyzing the terrain of the body along with many other factors such as lifestyle. They often simply specialize in repeat visits and hence less money in your pocket and little to no results.

We see people similar to this scenario very frequently and NutriRebel is called all sorts of derogatory names for trying to explain these concepts. Many will also try a "Do It Yourself" singular supplement, regime/concept, and end-up often in a worse shape than before for both preventive and acute handling of health. I've seen many consume "colloidal silver" and other singular supplements with a sort of magical thinking process with little to no rationality.

2. Another example is when they do decide to head to a medical practitioner when they “become sick.” they rarely think about questioning their treatment because they think their lives were saved.Most of the time their lives were saved but they never asked: "why did they become sick?" and the answer is mainly because they didn't take preventive action on their health chiefly by obtaining proper measurements to find elemental imbalances (which we all maintain).

3. Does "modern medicine " analyze the entire terrain of your body and all the influences of that terrain such as lifestyle in a 10 minute Medical Doctor visit?

The answer you can clearly see as being "no."Many people undergo limited, "snapshot in time" blood and urine tests that show "everything is normal," but they still feel pain, mental fog, fatigue, or general discomfort. Why does this occur? The body works hard to keep balance, even when facing serious health problems. This effort to maintain homeostasis can affect other tissues and glands.

”Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married, or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list, but nobody ever asks if you're happy" --Heath Ledger, deceased actor 1979 - 2008

Is This Website & Survey Based On "Science?" & A Rudimentary Representation Of How We Can Help

Most Don't Know There Are Two Branches of Science: Reductionism Vs. Systems Biology
trust badge

"Modern medicine" is primarily based on the "germ theory" (reductionism) developed by Louis Pasteur which focuses on dis-eases and the sub-component parts and processes of the body with the goal of attacking the singular problem without addressing why or using body-native tools/substances to prevent and reverse conditions.

On the other hand, Scientists Bechamp and Bernard disagreed with Pasteur's theory and proposed the Terrain Model (systems biology). They proved that it wasn't germs that caused disease, but that unhealthy bodily terrain that attracted germs, pathogens and cellular dysfunction, which then multiplied and spiraled and led to illness. To sum up: systems biology (terrain model) focuses on the whole processes of the human body with little to no side effects while reductionism separates the body and mind into separate for easier symptom management with massive side effects.

Is this survey and other material found here "science?"

Remember previously above mentioned there are 2 branches of science: reductionism ("modern medicine") and systems science ("holistic)". It should be noted this is an extremely general survey. To obtain a deeper understanding of your likely antagonistic and synergistic cellular nutritional interactions would require an individualized consultation.

This brief quiz serves as a quick glimpse into our primary personalized assessment and consultation techniques: symptomatology. The best method to uncover nutritional deficiencies is by examining them in their subclinical phase, prior to their detection in lab tests. This proactive approach allows you to take preventive measures instead of waiting for a disease to present itself. If you obtain the individualized consultation you will receive a comprehensive report detailing your cellular and organ nutrient deficiencies, as well as toxicity levels and many others into a likely tremendously beneficial plan that is most poweful for you, tailored to your individual human condition.

Benefits of Symptomatology:

Analyzes physical signs to uncover hidden factors that may be influencing health.
Symptoms can indicate subtle deficiencies / dependencies that merely standard lab tests often miss.
Treats each individual as a unique case, considering their specific nutrient needs shaped by lifestyle and genetics.
Assists in assessing whether nutrients are being effectively absorbed through proper digestion and the difference between nutrient dependencies and deficiencies.
Primary, inexpensive analysis tool combined with other inexpensive methods (if required) to provide a "terrain view" of the body biochemistry and processes.
Identify 1000s of early sub-clinical signs of label conditions -- even early signs of aging -- and correcting them using cell nutritional tools.
Assist in likely restoration of youthful appearance, personality, cognitive and physical abilities we lose through neglect and virtually all of us neglect our cell nutritional health because we don't obtain personalized assistance as we offer..

This method frequently proves to be more dependable than merely a limited "snap shot in time" lab tests when it comes to uncovering celllular nutritional deficiencies. The inexpensive personalized assessment (if you choose to get it after this survey), plus observations, analysis of lab results and other free or inexpensive testing methods may help us provide a more accurate 'holistic picture" of your body and biochemistry.

This free research tool is a great way (on a very superficial level) to start exploring any potential imbalances in your body and how they may be related to your overall health. You can use the results as a starting point for further research or to discuss your intake, toxin load and potential changes with us (you can contact us by email here).

However, these results or anything on this site should not be viewed as a substitute for medical treatment or diagnosis.

We may need to limit the "run to the Doctor" and "take this for that" mindset (unless especially an urgent health issue; but how did you get there?) and try to understand we're made of earth elements and these are virtually always out of balance and need to be checked and interpreted from time to time. There's also the fact that toxins are routine in our high-stress, polluted world filled with addictions and social activities like drinking alcohol, smoking various substances, along with choices influenced by this matrix. In other words, antagonists and synergists play a major role in our lives but aren't generally part of our limited "health checkups" we may receive on only an infrequent basis.

How Intakes Compare: This chart displays the amounts of vitamins, minerals, and essential fats that people typically consume, as well as what is considered a healthy intake. It also compares these amounts to the RDA (recommended daily allowance) set by the govern-ment and shows how both are below the ODA (optimum daily allowance) needed for the best health. This gap highlights the importance of obtaining an individualized assessment.

These interpretations and measurements also do not consider possible nutrient blockages from everyday toxins found in air, water, and food. They do not account for all the helpful co-factors, like overlapping nutrients, as well as the various challenges we face at work, home, and in our emotional lives, along with substance exposure that affects our "internal pond or "terrain" of the body.

What Are The Details? The FREE Symptom Measure Tool Is The First Step

Symptomatology interpretation is the first-line of interpretation of your cellular nutritional health

You can take this FREE symptom measure tool without obligation for a generalized assessment estimation
If you choose to continue after this free measure tool, you will see instructions in the estimation e-mails for how to proceed with a personalized, low-cost cellular nutritional assessment.
The personalized assessment (which is not the below free 'symptom measure tool') utilizes a cellular nutritional symptomatology assessment as the first step
Many want to skip to other singular, "snap shot in time" assessment that we offer, such as: hair tissue mineral analysis, darkfield blood analysis and others, but this would be the incorrect (and unnecessary extra cost) course of action to take and something we don't do.
As we said above, symptomatology is the first step and only a small amount of individuals require additional testing as mentioned above.

We start with symptomatology analysis and interpretation, not hair tissue mineral analysis or anything else.

Symptomatology interpretation is the first-line of analyzing the terrain of your body/mind and additional singular "snaps shot in time" tests like hair tissue mineral analysis and others are after symptomatology. This is only if you need them & they cost the client / participant extra for a referal to a lab to have the tissue samples analyzed.

Researchers have identified specific changes that occur in the body when there is a deficiency in certain nutrients. By examining this "body language," it becomes possible to pinpoint deficiencies or excesses of particular vitamins, minerals, proteins, and more. This approach is commonly known as "nutritional symptomatology." It involves interpreting physical signs to uncover the root causes of these imbalances. This method is particularly valuable for identifying subclinical deficiencies that may not be detected through standard laboratory tests. It's important to clarify that in this context, "symptomatology" pertains to the analysis of nutritional imbalances rather than disease symptoms.

Every individual possesses a unique biochemical makeup. Just as our fingerprints, voices, and physical appearances vary, so too do our nutritional requirements. Each body responds differently to the same dietary intake. Our distinct metabolisms lead to varying needs for nutrients. Certain foods and supplements might be absorbed at different rates, either too quickly or too slowly. Additionally, some nutritional elements may be nearly absent from our systems, while others might be produced by our bodies in sufficient amounts, rendering further intake unnecessary.

Nutritional symptomatology serves as the most dependable method for assessing an individual's nutritional status. It highlights deficiencies that can be addressed through intake adjustments or food supplements. By conducting these evaluations periodically throughout a nutritional program, we can effectively monitor a participant's progress.

This method offers deeper insights than traditional food consumption surveys. Evaluating dietary intake frequently misses essential elements like soil health, timing of harvest, pesticide application, and cooking techniques, all of which can greatly influence the nutrient levels in the plants we consume. Additionally, these assessments fail to account for the significant variations in nutrient absorption among individuals. What we consume may not correlate with what actually benefits our bodies. Furthermore, some individuals might require several hundred or even thousands of times more of a specific nutrient than what conventional "experts" deem necessary to avoid mortality.

Laboratory Tests

Nutritional assessment is often more accurately gauged through symptomatology than through traditional laboratory tests, which mainly aim to identify significant pathologies. For instance, X-rays can reveal physical damage to an organ, but an organ that looks normal on an X-ray might still be underperforming due to nutritional deficiencies.

Many individuals undergo blood and urine tests that indicate "everything is within normal limits," yet they still experience pain, mental fog, fatigue, or a general sense of mild to moderate discomfort. Why does this happen? The body’s blood and tissues constantly works to maintain balance, often doing so even in the face of serious health issues. This effort to achieve homeostasis can come at the cost of other tissues and glands.

(1) blood calcium levels might appear normal, even as dental issues and osteoporosis develop. The bloodstream prioritizes calcium so much that it leeches it from bones and teeth.
(2) Blood tests may show normal levels of zinc and vitamin B-6, while the individual still suffers from symptom largely from deficiencies & dependencies that are frequently dismissed by "conventional" practitioners. The "mauve factor," or kryptopyrrole, produced by some under stress, binds these nutrients and hinders their use in the body.
(3) There can be sufficient thyroid hormone in the blood, yet it may not reach the tissues that require it, as this hormone is not primarily distributed through the bloodstream.

Constituents of urine constantly change, fluctuating with the food or fluid intake. As an example, the body uses large amounts of vitamin C under stress conditions. Thus, it may not have any excess vitamin C to eliminate in the urine under stress but will do so quite freely in normal circumstances. A similar relationship applies to the B-complex vitamins and zinc, which are also water-soluble.

The body also eliminates excess sugar or protein through urine. Therefore, urine samples taken at different times of the day or at varying intervals may not be reliable indicators for nutritional assessment.

On the other hand, hair analysis is mainly effective for identifying levels of toxic metals and potential mineral imbalances. However, it does not provide insights into vitamins, proteins, or organic functions. Additionally, the mineral concentration in hair may not accurately reflect levels in other tissues. For instance, if hair analysis reveals high lead levels, it raises the question of whether the lead came from dietary sources or if it accumulated due to environmental pollution.

Due to certain limitations, relying solely on laboratory methods can lead to misleading results. While lab tests can yield highly accurate measurements, the importance of these numerical values isn't always clear or applicable. In contrast, nutritional symptomatology serves as a more approximate measurement tool. Individual signs associated with specific nutrients may also stem from other potential causes. However, recognizing a consistent pattern can be quite meaningful, particularly if an individual exhibits multiple related symptoms pointing to the same underlying issue. In the realm of nutritional assessment, being roughly correct is often more valuable than being precisely wrong.

Measure Your "Terrain" Before Anything Else!

End Confusion

After all, that's what botanists do for plants, correct? Why not for humans?

"Doctors aren't trained in nutrition or metabolism" is what I heard and it certainly is true, but the truth of it should be more accurate: "MDs are not trained in integrative cellular nutrition and metabolism." Integrative is another word for "holistic" and "systems." The below image is representative of the paid dis-information propagandists often found online that leads many to confusion, apathy and ridicule.

Common Drug & Nutrient Interactions

Alcohol

Zinc

Folate (B9)

Magnesium

Thiamin

Zinc

Alcohol is a popular drink that many people use to cope with problems like pain, especially in social situations. This can make it seem less dangerous to some. It can also be an "invisible" allergy that isn't usually checked for. Over time, it can harm cells and cause symptoms that doctors often don't recognize. Alcohol, along with other depressants and stimulants, can hide issues with adrenal function.

Antacids

Folate (B9)

Cobalamin

Iron

Magnesium

Manganese

Most confuse high stomach acid, take drugs, when in actuality they present with low acid and often take multiple drugs with massive side effects. Nutrient losses are linked to the antacids and acid-reducing medications: H2 blockers can lower levels of calcium, folate (B9), iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. Proton-pump inhibitors can reduce magnesium and vitamin B12 levels, which further distorts biochemistry.

Anti-cholesterol drugs

Folate (B9)

Selenium

Vitamin B12

Co-Q10

Vitamin E

Anti-cholesterol drugs are commonly prescribed for lowering cholesterol with the false belief it reduces arterial plaque & heart disease. The reality is plaque is mainly composed of 68% fibrous protein, 16% lipid core, 8% calcium, 7% inflamed cells, 1% foam cells. The drugs lower cholesterol for the entire body with harmful effects without addressing the previous elements.

"Mental illness" drugs

Zinc

Magnesium

Calcium

Iron

Vitamin D

We constantly hear the non-existent term "mental illness" in the media as if we're still living in the dark ages where people are stigmatized and chained indoors. This because the Western medical model is glued to viewing the body and mind as separate when it's actually the opposite. These medications deplete magnesium, CoQ10, melatonin, Vitamin B12 and others.

Medications, whether taken for health issues or for fun, can lead to a lack of important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids. Some medications may cause deficiencies by interfering with how vitamins are converted into their active forms or by blocking the creation of necessary metabolites. Additionally, these drugs can reduce the good bacteria in the gut, which can result in vitamin shortages. They may also decrease how well nutrients are absorbed or increase how much is lost from the body. Many medications are associated with a lack of essential nutrients and their metabolites. Doctors rarely suggest taking nutrients alongside medications to avoid any negative effects, as long as it doesn't impact the effectiveness of the drugs.

There's no such thing as a "balanced diet" & nutrition isn't merely food. Why is that? Because we're all individuals.

Common Mineral, Vitamin & Toxin Interactions

Calcium (bones, teeth, muscle cells)

Magnesium

Aluminum (toxic)

Lead (toxic)

Vitamin D

Potassium

Magnesium helps keep calcium dissolved. Chlorine, hydrochloric acid in the stomach, and enough protein in the diet are also needed for using calcium. Potassium is a strong supporter of calcium, but too much can work against it by pulling calcium from bones and other areas. Potassium is very important for calcium processing in many enzymes.

Iron (liver, marrow, striated muscle)

Zinc

Lead (Toxic)

Manganese

Vitamin B12

Vitamin C

Iron is mostly found in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, duodenum, skeletal muscle, and other parts of the body. Its absorption can be affected by inhibitors like calcium, phytates, and polyphenols, while enhancers such as ascorbic acid and proteins can help improve its availability. Hair and live cell analysis reveals more accurate iron levels as it is released through hair and other methods.

Manganese (liver, bone, pancreas)

Lead (toxic)

Cadmium (toxic)

Copper

Vitamin C

Vitamin E

Magnesium, copper, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin E help the body absorb manganese better. However, manganese can lower the absorption of certain antibiotics. Additionally, oral contraceptives can also reduce how much manganese the body takes in. On the other hand, manganese significantly lowers the intake of cadmium.

Zinc (skeletal muscle, bone, teeth)

Lead (toxic)

Mercury (toxic)

Cadmium (toxic)

Copper

Vitamin b12

Vitamin C acts as a synergistic agent with zinc, enhancing the brain's antioxidant capabilities, facilitating synaptic function, and aiding in detoxification processes. Additionally, a significant relationship exists between zinc and copper. Zinc and vitamin E affect the metabolism of testosterone and inflammatory factors.

The reductionist ("modern science") approach has been the primary focus in human nutrition research until now. It has helped identify important mechanisms related to food nutrients, particularly those associated with deficiency diseases. In Western countries, this method, along with progress in medicine and pharmacology, has led to increased life expectancy. However, after 40 years of nutrition research, obesity and diabetes rates are still rising worldwide, impacting both developed and developing nations and resulting in fewer healthy years of life. Moving from a reductionist perspective to a more systems science (holistic) one could provide effective solutions to food system challenges. Preventive nutrition should not be viewed like pharmacology, and foods should not be seen just as drugs. We should view everything like how a botanist analyzes the terrain (systems or holistic science) of a plant rather than a mechanic ("modern science" or "modern medicine") does for a non-living car.

Still Not Convinced?

Avoid Being A Statistic!

More than 50% of Canadians aged 20 and older, around 51.6%, suffer from one or more chronic illnesses. These long-lasting conditions greatly affect individuals and society, impacting their social and economic welfare. The healthcare expenses linked to these diseases are a massive $68 billion, with productivity losses totaling an astonishing $122 billion.

Targeted

Through this assessment, we can detect nutrient imbalances and toxicity effects. Our approach, based on systems biology and biochemistry, helps prevent and reverse dis-eases caused by cellular nutritional deficiencies, which can lead to cellular dysfunction and illness. This method is rooted in ortho-molecular medicine, developed by a research team in Saskatchewan, Canada, since the 1950s.

Individualized

Our approach is centered around the evidence that rectifying cellular nutritional deficiencies at the cellular level can greatly enhance cellular function and consequently, overall well-being. By fostering collaboration between conventional and functional medicine (and there are many terms for this), we encourage open communication between practitioners from both disciplines.

Stay Well; Not Sub-Optimal

Ancient Chinese people paid doctors in advance to stay healthy. If someone got sick, payments stopped until the doctor cured them. This method is the opposite of Western medicine. “The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition." -- Thomas Edison

Results Demonstrated

Within just 3 months, 73% of our customers saw their nutrient deficiencies completely resolved. When you balance your biochemistry your body starts to heal weak cellular systems, organs and many others. This leads to the prevention of and healing of illness of all sorts.

Systems/holistic Nutritional Consultants have unique training compared to many other modalities. The former focus on cellular nutrition and preventive health-care, with specialized knowledge in medical sciences like anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology. Their emphasis is on promoting health and longevity without diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Most Don't Know There Are 2 Branches of Science: "Modern Science" Is Reductionism

"Holistic Science" is Systems Science

Reductionism suggests that by dissecting a system into its individual parts, we can comprehend the whole. On the other hand, systems biology argues that there are complex behaviors that arise from the interactions of these parts, behaviors that cannot be observed by studying the components in isolation. "Modern science" often employs reductionism, focusing on a narrow aspect of a subject, whereas the systems approach takes a more holistic view of the entire subject. Reductionism involves addressing each problem in a system separately. For instance, in coronary artery disease, risk factors like hyperlipidemia and hypertension are treated individually by the "modern medicine" industry that employs millions like an assembly line by how they view the body as separate parts. This method is also applied to other conditions like hypothyroidism, diabetes, and coronary artery disease. Each disease is managed separately, assuming that treatments have independent effects. However, this overlooks the intricate relationship between diseases and treatments, assuming that the effects are simply additive.

Our Analysis Methods

Dave uses a variety of methods to show measurable abnormalities in the client's biochemistry influenced by many things including lifestyle. Some of the methods include:

Questionnaires & observations is the primary cost-free method that question you on physical, mental, lifestyle symptoms that are always sub-clinical manifestations of subtle illness. These symptoms are not part of routine or even acute/chronic analyses by "conventional" MDs in a 10 minute office visit or even in emergency rooms.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis where I have the client gather samples of their hair to be analyzed by a scientific laboratory. The results are sent back to me to correlate the results with other analyses such as below.

Interpretation of your current and past tissue and blood work that is often very limited in acute-focused MD offices. We compare these results with the above and use healthier population samples as comparisons for demonstrable and actionable results that you likely aren't accustomed to.

Based on double-blind research founded by the Government of Saskatchewan 1950s by Dr. Abram Hoffer and many other Medical Doctors and scientists practiced to this day.

"Allergy" Redefined In 1925 To Exclude Most Criteria & Cost Millions Of Human Lives

Hidden Allergies & Intolerances

Many different physical and mental disorders have been linked to latent food allergies, according to a substantial body of medical literature. Through specific food challenges and an elimination diet, hidden sensitivities can be "unmasked". The evidence clearly demonstrates that identifying and avoiding allergic foods might ease a number of common and challenging-to-treat medical issues, even though the idea of hidden food allergies is still debatable. We help you determine what hidden allergies and intolerances you like possess that significantly contribute to your health. Certain foods, such as red wines and moldy cheeses, can release histamine without causing an allergic reaction. Respiratory infections may also produce similar symptoms. Exercise can induce wheezing in some individuals, even if they are not allergic to physical activity. Lactose intolerance can result in gas and mild cramping, resembling food sensitization or irritable bowel syndrome. There is a significant epi-genetic connection to lactose intolerance, particularly among individuals of Asian heritage. Milk containing lactose-digesting probiotics like Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally well received. Asian babies often consume fermented milk post weaning.

Where Did This Come From?

Systems Biology, or what a botanist would do for a human if they were plants, was mainly founded by many scientists and Medical Doctors in the 1930s to 1960s. One particular scientist was Dr. Linus Pauling who won 2 Nobel Prizes for his work on human chemistry and popularizing high doses (for the nutritional needs of the cells and these often vary wildly per person per condition) of Vitamin C and other nutrients and minerals. Think this is crazy? He also popularized the idea that what goes into your body becomes your body! It's not quackery especially when you compare tissue testing standards between countries such as Japan and others. In Japan they have much higher tissue testing standards, especially for blood work. It's not only the better food that they're living healthier, longer lives in Japan; it's mostly the tissue testing standards being much higher.

I used to think this stuff was non-sense

It was mainly because of misinformed people around me, especially those with "advanced degrees" telling me so (even those claiming to have advanced biology backgrounds!). It was also the misinformation found online and the consumerist culture that permeates 'alternative health' along with gender bias portraying mainly females as the purveyors of it. The sad fact is the so-called experts above were not able to explain to me why become develop any illness other than some outdated information about inheriting disease. The fact is that the epi-genome is responsible for modifying your genes on a per-second basis and what goes into your mouth is the main influencer of the epi-genome. I became very confused and fell into the typical work-life-body-pollution lifestyle and had bad influences around me.

Explore The Nutrient Connections

We are not searching for an unattainable perfection of health. Our goal is to have a significant, tangible impact on your long-term health as well as short-term gains that you can see, feel, and others can see.

Nutrient deficiencies can greatly affect mental health. Essential vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids are important for brain function and neurotransmitter production. For example, not having enough vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin D has been connected to a higher chance of depression and cognitive decline. Minerals like magnesium and zinc are necessary for neurotransmitter and enzyme function related to mood regulation. Also, omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA found in fatty fish, help maintain a healthy brain and deficiencies in these fatty acids have been linked to a greater risk of depression and cognitive issues.

A study in the European Journal of Nutrition showed that an intake (not strictly diet) of the substances found within fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats was linked to a lower risk of depression. The study also pointed out the negative effects of a Western-style intake, which includes a lot of processed and sugary foods, on mental health.

There are many more connections not listed for brevity.

Minerals: the backbone of the body

Many do not realize the minerals our bodies need -- and most of us don't get the appropriate targeted amounts -- act as spark plugs and are the backbone for the various systems of the body. If our bodies absorb certain opposing elements to these minerals, the body does many things with them. One of the largest is the body replaces the beneficial minerals with toxic substances such as lead, cadmium and others. The bones often are places where the body places lead to push it away from the main body systems. Unfortunately often times these toxic substances often "come out of hiding" when we do certain things such as cleansing protocols.

Antagonism means opposing, so the opposing elements on the graph are similar to a villain in film that opposes the protagonist, or the "good guy" in the film. There is no argument about this because it is basic chemistry. (Source)

Almost all of the body's metabolic processes depend on essential minerals. They are necessary for maintaining the pH balance of our bodies, producing energy, supporting our immune systems, and maintaining our bones and teeth. Minerals are not made by the body.

Linking "Modern Medicine" To Cellular Nutrition

Some Major Reasons For Bad Cellular Health: Degraded Food Supply & Degraded Tissue Testing Standards

"The things I can measure I can understand; and those things I cannot measure I cannot understand." -- Lord Kelvin; OM, GCVO, PC, FRS, FRSE was a British mathematician, mathematical physicist and engineer born in Belfast, Ireland.

Nutrient Content Of Foods Severely Degraded Since 1950s

Did you know that starting around 1950 the food supply in at least North America has been severely degraded? For example, the nutrient content of an orange in 1980 was about 8 times more than the current content of the produce and vegetables being produced. Why does this matter? Since all animals are made from protein, and that protein is derived entirely from plants, where does that leave the nutrient content of the food we consume on a daily basis derived mainly from plants and animals?

According to academic research highlighted by Cinzia Cuneo & Georgetown University, over the past two decades, many scientists have endeavored to compare nutrient data gathered during the 1950s and 1960s with more recent nutrient analyses. The practice of intensive agriculture, known as "mono-culture," has depleted the soil, while fruits and vegetables are subjected to numerous treatments to increase their resistance, and a wide range of fertilizers are used to enhance their growth. Seeds are chosen to meet standardized norms, despite the negative impact on variety and nutritional value. The apples, carrots, and peaches found in our supermarkets are often picked prematurely to meet the ever-increasing demand for higher yields, resulting in nutritionally deficient produce.

Tissue Testing Standards Degraded Over Decades

Reference ranges, or what biological and "health care" professionals determine is 'normal' or not has also been a factor that has been changing and being degraded over the decades. One could say big pharma and the food industry have a very heavy hand in how these 'normals' are determined.

The reference range for thyroid stimulating hormone used to be much smaller than it is now. Previously, it was around 5. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists advised lowering the upper limit to 3. Moreover, many experts believe the upper limit should be cut down even more to 2.

More about this topic is in the following tabs below.

Nutritional Value Of Plants Degraded Since 1950s

The nutritional value of fruits and vegetables has changed over time due to various factors. While an orange from the 1950s was rich in vitamin A, which is essential for our vision and immune system, today we would need to consume 21 oranges to get the same amount. Onions and potatoes no longer contain any trace of it, and the iron content in meat has been halved. Similarly, the calcium in broccoli has been divided by four. Is it any wonder why we need to supplement? But how do we know how much we need on a daily basis and if we're actually absorbing what we need if we only consume it by the oral route?

To get the same amount of vitamin C found in an apple from the past, we would need to eat many more apples today. However, it's worth noting that many factors affect the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables, and some of these factors are actually improving the nutritional content. Upon closer inspection, it's evident that changes in sampling methods, measurement techniques, and geographical variation can all impact the nutrient values. Additionally, the random variation in nutrient values from one piece of produce to the next is more significant than most people realize.

Don't believe me? There are a very wide range of studies proving this, such as this one:

"In the last sixty years, there has been an alarming decline in food quality and a decrease in a wide variety of nutritionally essential minerals and nutraceutical compounds in imperative fruits, vegetables, and food crops. The potential causes behind the decline in the nutritional quality of foods have been identified worldwide as chaotic mineral nutrient application, the preference for less nutritious cultivars/crops, the use of high-yielding varieties, and agronomic issues associated with a shift from natural farming to chemical farming. Likewise, the rise in atmospheric or synthetically elevated carbon dioxide could contribute to the extensive reductions in the nutritional quality of fruits, vegetables, and food crops. Since ancient times, nutrient-intense crops such as millets, conventional fruits, and vegetables have been broadly grown and are the most important staple food, but the area dedicated to these crops has been declining steadily over the past few decades and hastily after the green revolution era due to their poorer economic competitiveness with major commodities such as high-yielding varieties of potato, tomato, maize, wheat, and rice. The majority of the population in underdeveloped and developing countries have lower immune systems, are severely malnourished, and have multiple nutrient deficiency disorders due to poor dietary intake and less nutritious foods because of ignorance about the importance of our traditional nutrient-rich diets and ecofriendly organic farming methods. This critical review emphasizes the importance of balance and adequate nutrition as well as the need to improve soil biodiversity and fertility: those are main causes behind the decline in nutritional density. There is also emphasis on a possible way out of alleviating the decline nutritional density of food crops for the health and well-being of future generations." -- Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, March 14 2024: "An Alarming Decline in the Nutritional Quality of Foods: The Biggest Challenge for Future Generations’ Health"

Linking "modern medicine" concepts with cellular nutrition

You probably are wondering the practicality and the profound links between the limited results you get from your medical doctor -- whom most people distrust but at least think they trust them with 'blood work' -- with real-life situations like the food you eat, where you work, where you live, social situations and many more. Lots of people associate 'modern medicine' and the aura and thought of doctors and nurses with blood testing.

The reality is blood is mainly only a connective tissue and an extremely poor way to measure especially the elements in your body mainly because it's only a "snap shot" in time rather than over a period of time. Blood also is mainly a transport medium and much of the elements in your body aren't stored in blood -- they're stored in your tissues such as organs, hair, bones.

Ally Jaffee said: "There's just about a society at medical school in everything from sexual health to orthopaedics to dermatology. But there just wasn't a nutrition and lifestyle or a preventative medicine society. We're taught about 10 to 24 hours over five to six years in medical school on nutrition." -- Dr. Ally Jaffee Source

Have you ever wondered what your medical doctor or practitioners test in terms of the vitamins, minerals, proteins, toxins, heavy metals, carbohydrates and many others? The truth is most of the time you attend an MD Doctor for acute issues and there in terms of cellular nutritional elements such limited biomarkers they test are things like Vitamin B12 and not much else!

Nutrients are essential substances necessary for the body to support basic functions and are best obtained through not through a non-existent "balanced diet" but through identifying excesses, deficiencies and imbalances in organ, micro/macro and other problems. There are six main categories of nutrients crucial for human health: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are considered macronutrients and serve as energy sources.

Water is needed in large quantities but does not provide energy. Vitamins and minerals are referred to as micronutrients and play important roles in metabolism. Vitamins are organic micronutrients classified as water-soluble or fat-soluble. Water-soluble vitamins include B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12, and C. Fat-soluble vitamins consist of A, E, D, and K. Minerals are inorganic micronutrients, which can be macrominerals or microminerals.

The standard reference ranges (what medical people use to tell them if your results are "normal" or not and often isn't) on your lab results are based on a bell curve, meaning that most people fall within this range. However, these ranges are purely statistical and don't necessarily indicate optimal individual biomarkers. In fact, these ranges can change over time based on new research and the prevalence of disease in the population (sample size). This makes it even more important to identify potential health issues early on, especially when it comes to blood markers from a Orthomolecular Cellular Nutrition perspective.

Let's take the homocysteine reference range as an example. Homocysteine is a non-essential amino acid produced by the body during a critical conversion process called methylation. If our methylation process is impaired or blocked, homocysteine can accumulate in the body. It used to be considered normal to have a homocysteine blood reading as high as 15 μmol/L, but most labs have now changed the normal range to be less than 10.4 μmol/L. However, based on scientific research, the optimal level of homocysteine is between 6-7 μmol/L. When the level is above 7, there is a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s Disease, and other conditions. On the other hand, there are also risks associated with having homocysteine levels that are too low, such as elevated oxidative stress and overproduction of certain toxins.

Having a high homocysteine level is definitely not ideal. This amino acid found in the blood has been associated with serious health issues such as dementia, heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. The silver lining is that lowering homocysteine levels can be achieved effortlessly and affordably by taking a combination of B vitamins - B6, B12, and folic acid. However, the above singular homocysteine and B-complex are synergistic with many other substances and functions of the body and this is because: it's your whole body and just like a plant, you have to view the whole organism! Merely taking some B-complex capsules likely won't do much or be effective because you don't have any whole-body measurements!

Cellular nutrition, "mental illness" & cognitive decline

Older individuals, especially those experiencing cognitive decline, often show a higher rate of brain atrophy. Homocysteine is a known risk factor for brain atrophy, cognitive impairment, and dementia. The levels of homocysteine in the blood can be reduced by increasing tissue levels B vitamins but likely not by the oral route mainly because of the common lack of intrinsic factor needed to assimilate the B12. A deficiency in any of these B vitamins can lead to an increase in total homocysteine levels, which is linked to a greater risk of mental illnesses like cognitive impairment and emotional disorders due to the neurotoxic effects of high homocysteine.

Here's one of the VERY few nutrients that medical doctors test and different countries have varying standards for B12 levels. In Japan, the range is 500 pg/ml to 1300 pg/ml, in the U.S. it's 200 to 900, and in Australia it's 135 to 650. Patients with levels over 200 pg/ml may experience serious symptoms of B12 deficiency, which can be treated by giving them B12. Therefore, it is advisable to aim for over 500 pg/ml, even if a blood test does not flag you as deficient. Additionally, all vegetarians should take B12, as they are likely to be deficient, especially by Japan's standards. While there are vegetarian food sources of B12, it is unlikely that one would consume enough of them, making it cheap and safe to take B12 supplements. B12 (and many nutrients!) absorption is limited per oral dose, so taking a 5000 mcg tablet may not provide more than a 1000 mcg tablet, or even a 250 mcg one.

If taking it once a day does not provide the desired B12 levels, it is better to take it twice a day than to increase the amount. If levels are below 500 pg/ml, taking 250 mcg once a day may be effective, but the dosage may not make much difference. It is important to note that this approach should not be generalized to other nutrients, as they work differently and that is why you need to seek personalized assistance from services such as those found on this site.

It is a verified fact that the nutritional value of the agricultural products we currently possess is not as high as that of the previous generations, including our parents and grandparents. Over the course of the past century, the levels of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and vitamin C in fruits and vegetables have been gradually decreasing. It is worth noting that this finding was not published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), but rather by a research team led by Donald Davis from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin. This groundbreaking study utilized the USDA's nutritional data from both the 1950s and 1999, focusing on 43 different types of vegetables and fruits.

The decline in nutritional content varies across these produce, ranging from a 6 percent decrease in protein to a significant 38 percent decrease in riboflavin. Therefore, the term "half" is merely an approximation. There are two primary factors contributing to this decline in nutrition. Firstly, soil depletion stands as the main cause of this situation. Secondly, the development of new plant varieties aimed at increasing yield also plays a role. Evidence suggests that when plants are cultivated to produce larger yields in a shorter period, they often fail to generate or absorb the same amount of nutrients at the same rate.

Every Day Activities Play Major Role In Health Along With Cellular Nutrition

Vitamin E, vitamin C, B-carotene and selenium are involved in the overall cellular anti-oxidant defense against deleterious effects of reactive oxygen species. Smoking has been shown to lower the level of vitamin C and B-carotene in plasma.

The saying "we are what we eat" may need a slight modification to "we are what we absorb." While it is important to consume enough nutrients on paper to meet our recommended nutritional needs, the crucial factor lies in our body's ability to absorb those nutrients. Without proper absorption, the nourishment obtained from food alone is insufficient, leading to a heightened risk of malnutrition.

The ODA states the minimum quantity is fulfilled and aims to exceed it in order to attempt and prevent disease from occurring, maybe repair disease, or fend off the effects of aging on the body. In contrast, the RDA levels are intended to avoid disease caused by a deficit in a given nutrient. As you can see on the chart, most people in the world have severe deficiencies if they rely only on the government RDA or no recommended daily intake guidelines at all.

What Are Some Of The Reasons For Low Intakes?

One of the largest is the food is picked from the ground far too early to be able to be shipped faster while the food ripens in the shipping truck, but it does not obtain enough from the ground because of early picking. The others is that our gut immune system health is often in such bad shape that we can't even absorb it from the food if we obtain it. The others are metabolic problems along with interactions between nutrients, toxins and other factors.

Poor Gut/Brain Axis Health

A disrupted gut can hinder your body's capacity to absorb nutrients, control blood sugar levels, and store excess fat. Malabsorption due to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) could lead to weight loss. Conversely, weight gain could be triggered by insulin resistance or heightened inflammation.

How do we measure imbalances?

As was stated above, we use questionnaires, tissue analysis, observations to show a systems biology perspective rather than only 1 method such as "snap shot in time" blood testing. Blood testing by itself is very limited and that's because it's one of the transport mediums of the body and is technically a connective tissue. Therefore when we use a more "holistic" view and use different methods to determine imbalances based mostly on symptomatology, we tend to come to a much healthier way to determine what you body needs and how it needs it.

The core of our service focuses on symptomatology to gather a comprehensive profile of the client's individual, family, medical, biological, and disease history. By assessing your cellular nutritional status based on symptoms across 65 areas under 11 categories, we provide a detailed report with a colorful graphical representation of the results. This tool is tailored for nutritional consultants to pinpoint and address individual imbalances and requires honest, thorough answers from participants. In addition, we use hair tissue mineral analysis, live and dry blood cell analysis, and past medical tissue testing results.

All of the above methods allow us to provide the data to provide an analysis with personalized recommendations for the participant.

Many people don't consider what they consume and feel like they have no choice when it comes to medical procedures and medications. The reality is that there are frequent interactions between the natural substances in our bodies and the common drugs we use. It's important to understand that our bodies operate on chemistry, and neglecting our health often leads to receiving quick-fix solutions from doctors based on reductionist science.

Drugs, whether used for medical reasons or recreation, can cause shortages in important nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids. Some drugs can lead to deficiencies by affecting the conversion of vitamins into active forms or by hindering the production of essential metabolites. Moreover, drugs can reduce beneficial bacteria in the gut, leading to vitamin deficiencies. They can also lower nutrient absorption or increase the excretion of nutrients. Many drugs have been linked to deficiencies in crucial nutrients and their metabolites. Doctors seldom recommend nutrients with drugs to prevent harm, as long as it doesn't affect the drugs' effectiveness.

Mind & Body Optimal Health

Doctors and health professionals share their experiences. Abram Hoffer, Patrick Holford, Hugh Riordan, Hyla Cass, Bradford Weeks, Michael Janson, and others discuss their treatment methods, satisfaction in seeing patients recover from "incurable" conditions, and the challenges they faced when integrating orthomolecular medicine into psychiatric practices. The essential orthomolecular components for mental health are explained to show that this approach can truly help those with mental illness and doctors who want to make a difference in their patients' lives. This documentary is valuable for everyone, especially those in the healthcare field.

Key Differences (Acute vs. Chronic health overview)

Basis for comparison	Acute diseases (what mainly "Modern medicine" specializes in)	Chronic diseases (what "modern medicine" isn't good at)
Definition	An acute disease is a health issue that starts suddenly and doesn't last long.	Chronic illness is a health issue that lasts a long time or has long-term effects on health.
Appearance	Sudden onset is a common characteristic of acute illnesses.	Chronic diseases develop slowly over time usually caused by incremental assaults against cellular structures by what goes into the mouth. Ancient Chinese proverb: "Diseases enter by the mouth, troubles proceed from it."
Timespan	Acute illnesses typically have a shorter duration than chronic illnesses	Chronic illnesses can persist for an extended duration, with some potentially lasting a lifetime.
Causes	Most acute conditions are caused by foreign agents invading the body due to a poor terrain that doesn't repel them. In addition, certain illnesses can also result from accidents and improper use of medication.	Chronic diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, but it's often an unhealthy terrain of the body often caused by lifestyle and poor generalized intake that are to blame for these conditions.
Nature	The majority of infectious diseases are communicable and stem from a contagious agent.	Non-communicable chronic diseases usually do not involve any infectious agents. However, they virtually always involve cellular nutrition, function problems and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) problems.
Effects	Short-term diseases do not cause lasting damage to health.	The long duration of chronic diseases leads to prolonged effects on the patient's health including societal/family, financial and other health problems such as dental, optometry and other health functions that often go unaddressed except when they present themselves in expensive visits to specialists.
Relapse	The disease does not have any periods of relapse because it runs a shorter course.	The disease could involve several instances of relapse over time.
Onset of symptoms	Acute diseases often come on suddenly and quickly worsen. Contributors are often bad decisions and weak cellular structures due to lack of early detection of systemic cellular problems.	It may be a while before of chronic diseases symptoms become noticeable. However, systems biology practitioners can help you identify and support your body to eliminate or lessen them.
Symptoms	Acute diseases present different symptoms based on their nature.	Chronic diseases can share similar symptoms, such as: weight loss, aging (yes aging is a disease to some),shortness of breath, white spots on fingernails, changes in skin color, changes in stool consistency and many others which are commonly observed across various conditions but "modern medicine" isn't trained in analyzing these and other systems biology that views the whole organism.
Diagnosis	Many acute diseases can be accurately diagnosed using available tests best treated by "conventional" or "modern medicine" due to its fundamental acute-based nature.	Many chronic diseases lack accurate diagnostic tests mainly because their methods are singular, reductionist and not based on systems science that views the whole organism.
Treatment	Proper dosages of medication and surgeries can completely cure acute diseases but often with massive long-term side effects.	Chronic illnesses are seldom completely healed by medications. The majority of drugs designed for chronic conditions simply work to prevent the illness from progressing. Detecting the disease early on could potentially lessen the severity of its effects.
Prevention	There are various measures that can be taken to prevent acute diseases, and the prevention methods may vary depending on the specific nature of the disease but only targeting one singular set of symptoms neglects the entire organism and thus increases risks in development of other conditions (aging is considered as a disease by many as well!).	Cultivating healthier behaviors, lifestyle choices,intake habits and personalized systems assessments do help ward off chronic illnesses. Additionally, effectively treating acute conditions can also serve as a form of prevention, as some acute ailments may develop into chronic diseases over time.
Examples	Typhoid fever, Yellow fever, Broken bone, Scorching, Myocardial infarction, Infectious disease, etc.	Diabetes, Cancer, Tuberculosis, Arthritis, Acne, Poor Vision, Greying Hair, Memory Loss, "mental illnesses" such as: "gender dysphoria," "bipolar disorder," "schizophrenia" and other similar conditions that do not seem to have any solution as acute conditions do.
