Don Lemmon's Know How Nutritionals

The subject of nutrition is massively wide and deep. There is so much to know and so many seemingly contradictory theories on the subject of nutrition and its relationship with human physiology and mental function. Most people, even (or perhaps especially) when partly informed by means of articles on the subject in magazines, etc., find they are confused. The purpose of this site is to provide a clear explanation of the basic principles of nutrition and its effect upon your health.

2500 years ago, Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine", said to his students, "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food." Moses Maimonides, the great 12th century physician, repeated the Hippocratic statement when he said, "No illness which can be treated by diet should be treated by any other means". In essence, Hippocrates and Maimonides were insisting that their students practice nutrient therapy.

This type of medical therapy is being used by doctors today, but only by a minority. It is more likely to be applied by nutritionists who have studied the specialist subject of nutrition in depth. There is little training in nutrition at medical schools and unless a doctor has pursued the study of nutrition out of choice, he or she is unlikely to be sufficiently informed to advise about optimum nutrition. In 1968 one of the great minds of this century, twice Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, coined the term Orthomolecular Nutrition. "Orthomolecular" is literally"pertaining to the right molecule."

Pauling proposed that by giving the body the right molecules (optimum nutrition) most disease would be eradicated. The American Medical Association, old-school doctors and conservative medical authorities now admit that vitamin supplements are, in fact, necessary for optimum health. Four decades is moving pretty fast for these obviously slow-thinkers. Year after year, they were trying to debunk science saying that vitamin supplements were unimportant for optimum human health.

They attacked manufacturers of nutritional supplements, ostracized forward-looking doctors who backed vitamins and minerals, and stuck with their old-school line of "drugs, surgery and chemotherapy!" Chiropractors and nutrition buffs were laughed at by old, out of shape "experts." The question today isn't whether vitamins are helpful, it's more along the lines of what form of vitamins work best. And here's the answer: synthetic vitamins should be avoided. Most cheaper-brand multivitamins are synthetic. Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients should always come from natural plant-based sources.

Synthetic nutrients that share the exact same molecular structure are still different and that greatly impacts your health. They say that in medicine, progress only takes place when the older generation of doctors and medical researchers pass away. That's because doctors are typically so egotistical and deeply invested in their distorted beliefs that they are simply unable to accept any new ideas. They take their misguided beliefs to their graves, and that's the only way medicine actually moves forward; when the crusty old men aren't around to pull rank on you.

What about reports that vitamins are bad? Most studies you read about were almost universally conducted using synthetic vitamins, meaning they weren't actually natural vitamins at all. These are man-made chemicals that don't appear in nature. This is especially true of vitamin E, which, in its synthetic form, has the opposite molecular structure of natural vitamin E. And yet critics of nutrition and vitamins who believe whatever is printed in the popular press have convinced their families, "vitamins have side effects," and all the while the same people are taking drugs that leave them weaker and weaker with each passing day. Americans stay diseased by being unable to treat and prevent diseases through the use of nutritional supplements that really work.
