What Do All These Supplements Do?

Some people, especially those new to natural or holistic health, are very surprised or even disturbed when told about the number of nutritional supplements that could help them in their quest for optimal health. "Why can’t I simply take one or two things and get well?" they want to know.

I agree that it can confuse the body if you take too many nutritional supplements. However, in our "pop-a-pill, instant fix" society, it is easy to want to take only one or two types of supplement, or do only one or two modalities to correct a condition that may have taken years to develop. Natural health is based not on an "instant fix," but on giving the body what it needs so that it can heal itself. Toward that goal, taking several different types of nutritional supplements can make sense when the body is out of balance. If the body tremendously is out of balance, chances are it is lacking in many basic nutrients it needs to perform its functions well. That is why there are several complementary approaches to wellness.

Nutritional supplements can be roughly divided into four categories:

(1) Detoxification/Cleansing,
(2) Pathogen Removal,
(3) Direct Immune Support, and
(4) Rebuilding with Nutrients.

I will summarize each in turn. Keep in mind, though, that there is bound to be some overlap in function among the four categories, since the body is very complex.


(1) Detoxification/Cleansing. The body produces many toxic waste materials daily in the course of its normal metabolic functions. Under the best of circumstances, it has to work very hard to dispose of these waste materials. But when you’re under emotional or physical stress, eating poorly, or fighting infection, the body has an even harder time ridding itself of waste materials. All illness gets its start—or becomes worse—when the body is riddled with toxins. This is why herbs to cleanse the system can be so helpful during this time. The kidneys, liver, and entire lymph system need support to do their job!

(2) Pathogen Removal. A person who has been doing detoxification and cleansing programs is on the right track: a body with a balanced pH is less likely to provide a breeding ground for microbes. However, sometimes we become so debilitated that we can use a little extra help. There are many herbal and other natural health formulas that deal with pathogens but do not disrupt the body’s normal function—for instance, which do not kill the beneficial flora in the intestines. Ideally, we should be keeping our body in pristine condition so microbes don’t have a chance to flourish. However, even if one’s diet, lifestyle, attitude, etc. is impeccable, sometimes the body needs a little help to get back on track. This is when it can be quite useful to take natural substances.
    For this function, I take a variety of anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial herbs and essential oils. I also use Rife Technology.


(3) Direct Immune Support. It’s great that something is available to effectively deal with microbes. Now it’s important to get rid of the dead materials and mycotoxic wastes from those killed pathogens. It is the job of white blood "killer" T-cells to grab and scavenge microbes, foreign proteins, and other wastes of the body, and neutralize them for removal by the body’s waste elimination systems. If you look at the live blood of people with many chronic conditions, you’ll notice that their white blood cells might be sluggish, bogged down with the wastes they are trying to eliminate. Or you’ll notice that they are not as high in number as your body needs to do the job.
    For this function, I take Transfer Factor.


(4) Rebuilding with Nutrients. This is crucial! Before cleansing, during detox, and after the body has cleared itself of dangerous pathogens and pollutants, it needs many different types of nutrients to grow healthy tissue and perform its immune functions properly. Nowadays we simply can’t get what we need solely from food, due to depleted soil and sub-standard farming practices. Numerous herbs, vitamins, minerals, and other substances give the body what it needs so people can remain in good health even if they’re aging.
    For this function, I take various products, including PSP+.
