Disclaimer/Terms of Use 

Nutrients have a wide safely margin yet some can react with certain prescription medications.

If your body says ‘NO’ to any food, drug, herb, vitamin or relationship, listen to it and reassess with the help of a knowledgeable provider. 

 

Mandatory FDA disclaimer

The FDA requires that we include this disclaimer letting readers know that the information about supplements, essential fatty acids ie fish oils and natural products are not intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat or prevent any disease. According to the FDA only drugs (many are derived from food or plants), not dietary supplements, which are from food or plants, can make those kinds of claims.

​

Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, said, "Let food be thy medicine and leave the drugs in the chemist's pot."

Modern Medicine has conquered much over the last 100 years, especially acute illness and trauma.

How fortunate we are to live in these times.

 

FYI, did you know that many prescription drugs have their origin from plants? For example: 

Aspirin is from white willow bark used by native Americanshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aspirin

Statins are from red rice yeast... https://www.thoughtco.com/drugs-and-medicine-made-from-plants-608413
