Where human immune system survival is in question, pharmaceuticals (dangerous drugs)*, FDA approved or not, are no substitute for VITAMINS SUPPLEMENTS and MEDICINAL HERBS just as VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS are no substitute for HERBAL FOODS and PURE FOOD EXTRACTS as FOOD SUPPLEMENTS.

When a person lives and breathes perfect wellness and good health it is because he takes good care to nourish his body so the body in turn can function properly. If one fails to provide his body with wholesome nutrients, the body will react to the deprivation in a number of ways that don't exclude ceasing to function altogether, and the person with a dead body under his skin for all practical purposes also ceases to exist.

Every illness on the living side of death, and all the ways to enjoy optimim good health and well being may be easily achieved by simply eating pure, unadulterated foods. To the degree one fails his body by failing to supply it with less than the required nutrients is to the exact degree one tends to feel. In a state of perfect well being, one should feel nothing; nothing good, nothing bad - that is the feeling of well being.

Unprocessed foods are easily obtainable through careful grocery shopping. Meats as a main staple should be avoided anyhow, so whatever chemicals and dangerous drugs lodge themelves in the animalls flesh and organs can be minimized by minimizing meat in the daily diet. Dairy products are just as likely to contain chemical and dangerous drug residues but it is also true that dairy products aren't that great for a body either. Commercially-grown grain products finally wind up in the processed food chain and chain stores, and commercially baked goods too should be avoided.

The alternatives are certified organically-grown grains, and fresh baked goods that don't contain preservatives and the need to be fortified or enriched with vitamin and/or mineral supplements, food coloring and artificial anything and everything. And not to make a federal case out of tasteless, odorless and near-valuless FDA-approved fillers that are included in the net-weight by volume-price, and which are included only for the purpose of adding to the retail cost of the processed product? Whatever the traffic will bear and pay for including, in the price, the processed food manufacturers' cost of so hyping the product through advertising that the consumer is willing to pay out his dollars, and sell his own health down the tubes in the no pun intended process.

Fruits and vegetables as processed foods is another element of betrayal in the marketplace, particularly foods that are imported from outside the US, that are saturated with chemicals we no longer allow American farmers to use, but we sell those same chemicals overseas for agricultural purposes; for agricultural products that wind up on our kitchen tables. Fresh (domestic) fruit and vegetables are grown with FDA or EPA-approved chemicals but they are still chemicals and they aren't any better for people than chlorinated water is but chlorinated water is also FDA or EPA or local health department approved.

There are other chemical compounds out there to wash other chemicals off of fresh fruit and vegetables, and those chemical compounds are washed down the drain and mix as a chemical stew that may be doing more damage yet to the streams and creeks, and rivers and lakes and oceans.

So, with that said, purchase as a quality food as is obtainable, and compensate for the deficiencies in the food with food supplements first, then vitamin supplements, and then if all else has failed, use dangerous pharmaceuticals and doctors' office visits to band-aid the nutritional deprivation-related illnesses that are sure to follow, enriching the medical profession, the pharmaceutical houses, the insurance companies, and all the while breaking the hearts of those who survive loved ones that succumbed to how corporate America's food manufacturers and corporate farmers feed and care for their countrymen.
