Nutritional Healing

Nutritional healing is the art of healing the body using diet and perhaps nutritional supplements. It is also the science of understanding the underlying imbalances that may be causing health problems and addressing them. With nutritional healing the body is supported to effectively heal itself. That is the science and art of true health and well-being.

In this Nutritional Healing section of our web site you will find some products that we have tried and tested. We have gathered the best products from many different companies and tried also to get you the best possible prices. Great health is our birthright and should not cost an arm and a leg (excuse the pun!). Having said that, Nutritional healing MUST include supplementing our diet because in this day and age it is, in my opinion, impossible to stay healthy on the foods available to the majority of us in the western world.

Now, if you live somewhere with good clean air and water, grow your own organic fruits and vegetables, and eat 90% raw foods then YOU may not need to supplement your diet with any of the products on these pages and I applaud you! I was privileged to grow up on fresh, organically grown fruits and vegetables, picked fresh from the garden, through most of the year. In fact even when I had my first Herbal Medicine practice I did not consider nutritional healing to be necessary past making some dietary changes. I did not introduce supplements into my practice until we moved to the USA in the early 90's.

Now there is a wealth of knowledge on Nutritional healing (see the link here and below to an excellent book by Phyllis Balch - "Nutritional Healing Book"). Some well-timed, well-used nutritional supplements can make a huge difference. A warning though. Frequently I would have someone come to me and bring a bucket load of supplements from their kitchen cupboard (sound familiar?). When I looked through them they were often the right supplements BUT either a very poor quality OR they simply were not taking the right ones at the right dosage.

Nutritional Healing WORKS. However, all too often people give up on it because they simply don't have the knowledge to use them in the right way or get ones that are actually effective. So I am trying to fill that gap by directing you towards supplements that I KNOW work because we use them and I KNOW that they are of the highest quality. Then if they aren't working it is the dosage or the combination that may need adjusting. The fewer variables, the easier it is to practice effective Nutritional Healing. So start with high quality supplements. The rest will follow naturally.
