Your vitamins may be killing you slowly and you don’t even know it. Most vitamins on the market are synthetically made from chemicals. Our body does not recognize these nutrients and therefore needs to detoxify them. What you may not realize is that taking conventional multi-vitamins and minerals from a synthetic source can have a negative effect on your cellular function. This can translate into cancer and other serious chronic diseases. Make sure you take a whole food multivitamin. The label on your vitamin must say 100% whole food vitamin. If it doesn’t, you may be putting your health, and your family’s health at risk.

Many men have a fear of developing prostate problems, and with good reason. The Canadian Cancer Society states: “Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer). On average, 490 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer every week.” These statistics are frightening. Men need to take matters into their own hands in terms of prevention. Thankfully nature provides natural prevention and treatment options for men. Herbs such as Saw Palmetto and Nettle improve the health of the prostate. Probiotics are also essential to treat the dysbiosis or imbalance in the good and bad bacteria in the prostate. VitaTree Nutritionals will soon be launching their VitaMen’s Formula, which not only helps prevent and treat prostate disease, but also increases the libido.

We have all been told to eat less red meat and more fish because fish is much healthier for us. Unfortunately, fish is quite toxic and is often high in mercury, a heavy metal. Heavy metals such as mercury damage our cells and especially our digestive tract, liver, kidneys and brain. So how do we get the benefits of fish oils, the omega 3 fatty acids, without having to worry about the mercury and other toxins in fish? The answer is by taking a high quality, pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplement that is third party tested to be free from contaminants such as mercury, dioxins and PCB’s. You must also make sure that your fish oil supplement is not diluted with less expensive oils such as soybean oil. This only dilutes the efficacy of the fish oil. Your fish oil must also be higher in DHA as compared to EPA. DHA is the essential nutrient for your brain and nervous system that helps with memory and cognitive function. For more information on Fish oils, see VitaFish Oil, (*the only pharmaceutical grade fish oil without fillers and higher in DHA ) and how to detoxify the body, mind and spirit, read The Healthy Millionaire.

I had a conversation with someone today who said she refused her chemotherapy protocol suggested by her doctor who said that the chances that it would help her cancer was only 4%. It was smart of her to ask the question in the first place as to what the success rate on chemo would be for her type of cancer. Not enough cancer patients ask this question, when they really should. The reason they should ask is that most chemotherapy is unsuccessful for most types of cancer. There is only a handful of cancers that are really helped by the toxic chemo treatments.

Luckily there are natural solutions to chemotherapy and conventional cancer treatments. Having lost my mom to cancer when she was only 50 years old, I try to help educate others about the alternatives that exist in nature to help both prevent and treat cancer.

Do you worry about cancer? Does the very word scare you? You are not alone. Cancer is the most feared disease among North Americans. My whole view on cancer is the more you think about it and fear it, the closer you are to manifesting it yourself! Do not get caught up in the fear of cancer. Yes it is good to be proactive and to live a healthy life, meaning doing regular detoxification, eating a whole food diet and taking only whole food vitamins. However, the mental toxins we carry around in our heads all day are 50 to 100 times more toxic than any physical or environmental toxin. Emotional toxins such as anger, fear and resentment eat away at our cells and can and do lead to diseases such as cancer. Do not become overly aware of cancer signs and symptoms. If you do not already have some of these symptoms, you can surely manifest them and think you have cancer. Some of my patients tell me they rather not always watch shows such as Dr. Oz because it makes them think they have every disease that they talk about! A classic case of becoming a hypochondriac. Read my book The Healthy Millionaire for more information about becoming healthy in body, mind and spirit.

Breast cancer is one of the most feared diseases among women. Having lost my mom to breast cancer when I was only 19 years old, I have seen first-hand what this disease can do to you and your family. This is one of the main reasons I became a naturopathic doctor and the formulator for VitaTree Nutritionals, Canada’s only whole food vitamin company. Breast cancer is a disease with many causative factors including environmental toxins, especially estrogens, stress and emotional toxins. The solution lies in avoiding toxic exposure as much as possible and detoxifying the major internal organs on a regular basis. Next, it is important that the diet is rich in anti-oxidants, and limited in saturated animal fats. It is also vital to detoxify the emotions and not harbor any negative emotions such as anger, grief, envy or resentment. For more detailed information on this and how to detoxify these negative emotions read my book The Healthy Millionaire.

Did you know that the synthetic vitamins you take everyday may be killing you? Nutrients that are synthetically made in most multivitamins can be toxic over time. Vitamins such as Vitamin C and beta-carotene are not found alone in nature. Vitamin C, for instance is usually in the form of ascorbic acid in vitamin supplements and multivitamins. In fact there are eight (8) components of vitamin C and ascorbic acid is only one of the eight. Nature made fruits and vegetables with eight components of Vitamin C for a reason. They all work together, synergistically to ensure good absorption and utilization by our bodies’ cells.
The problem with synthetically made multivitamins is that not only do they lack the important co-factors that go along with each nutrient, but they are also not absorbed very well by the human body. At most, we can absorb up to 30% of what we ingest in synthetic nutrients. So what happens to the other 70% of nutrients not absorbed? In fact, our bodies need to detoxify and get rid of the extras in our stool, urine and sweat. Ever notice how your urine may be extra bright after taking some B vitamins or synthetic multivitamins? This is the extra waste and byproduct that your body has to eliminate.

Thankfully there is a better alternative to synthetic nutrients. They are called 100% whole food multivitamins and they are found in select nutritional supplements.

How do you know if your supplements are what they say they are on the label? In Canada, there are varying degrees of compliance on the manufacturers end in terms of being able to legally sell supplements or not.
