Why Do Supplements Need to Be Organic?

WHY DO MY SUPPLEMENTS NEED TO BE ORGANIC?
A supplement is a supplement is a supplement right?  No not at all.  Sure the FDA and supplement making companies can label them as supplements, but how much are they really ‘supplementing’ your body?  What kind of nutrients are really in these so called supplements?   How are they made? Just like the sources of your food supply in which you need to know where it comes from and what was used to grow the foods, the same holds true to your vitamins/supplements.  It is very important to know the source of the supplement and how they are made.  If you are taking supplements with added fillers such as non organic ingredients and fillers and preservatives then it is just like eating that apple with pesticides sprayed on it.  These additives deplete the nutritional value of the supplement.  Why even take the supplements if they are not real sources
from organic herbs and plants?  You should not, period!  It is often a puzzle to people’s minds that when they become sick, ill or diseased they always say, “Oh my, how could this happen, I take all my recommended vitamins and supplements and I eat my veggies”.   The answer is again, simple yet broad.  You see, if you are consuming products that are artificial and have little nutritional value, then ask yourself, how in the world can this be healthy or beneficial for you?  Of course the ideal means of taking care of our bodies would be simply through our food supply and only depend on the foods we consume to take care of our missing nutrients and vitamins.  This is the ideal world and the ideal world of our ancestors.  However, even with the most clean and toxic free eaters, myself included, we still get that 4 – 8% over spray of the pesticides, chem trails and infected soils to run over into our  plates.  This causes us not to be able to porperly 'absorb' our vital nutrients. Therefore, in this day and time even our 100% organic food supply has been tainted by the air pollution, the water pollution and the toxic soils and we must supplement our bodies with the needed vitamins and enzymes we were meant to have to maintain optimum health. The truth of the matter is that most OTC supplements and even most of those found in your organic health food stores are NOT organic and have unnecessary fillers and binders for the gel caps, plus they have very little of the actual vitamin that is being advertised in the pill.  Also if you are taking that supplement that has additives and preservatives, then you might as well be just taking a tic tac that touts vitamin c. (says my friend Shan Stratton of Core Health Products ) I hope you are following me here.  You see it is very necessary that we FUEL our bodies the proper nutrition and as clean of nutrients as we possibly can.  Although some diseases and ailments may sneak into our own lives, there is always a way to reverse those ailments.  We cannot possibly think that if we continue consuming those fake capsules and fake supplements we will continue to have the most vibrant health.  It just does not work that way, for instance if you fill your gas tank with gas and you put the proper oil in the system, then your car is always going to run smoothly and have a very long life if you nurture it.  However, if you start adding a little water with that gas, and get an oil mixed with water, salt or what ever, sure your car will still run for a while, but then after a while of continually absorbing all those foreign fillers, the car begins to wear down and eventually shut down.  This is how our bodies work, our liver and kidneys cannot continue on a long road of fake nutrients and vitamins.  Know your sources of any vitamin, supplement or even holistic pain reliever.  As always, the better you take care of your body, the better your body takes care of you!
