QUESTION:Doc ,do you believe in medical doctors?

Question :Doc, aren't all vitamins,herbs, & minerals the same as far as absorption & assimilation is concerned?
Answer: Unfortunately they are not all the same. Example: Latest research states-the average absorption rate for adults is 10% for elemental minerals and drops to 3% to 5% after forty years of age. Now many companies have developed some type of minerals that have absorbtion rates of 40 %to 100% & they absorb approximately 10 to 12 times greater than elemental minerals taken in tablet or capsule form.It pays to buy supplements with high absorbtion rates other wise they may wind up as bed pan bullets.(As natural doctors call them).According to the experts ,there is a near -epidemic problem. The most common cause is taking inexpensive vitamins in tablet form. Many tablet manufacturers use a chemical called DCP as the binding agent to hold all the ingredients in the tablet.DCP is incapable of breaking down completely in your body.Naturally, if a hard-coated tablet does not dissolve, your body will not absorb the nutrients.We strongly suggest :do not take your vitamins in hard-coated tablet form. Use loose power, capsules or softgel capsules instead.They dissolve much more quickly once you swallow them.(Even if you crush the hard capsules with something to make powder out of them, that will help).It is amazing how many people take vitamins by the hand full, yet fail to improve their health much.
Question: Doc,really,why should we buy from your company when there are hundreds of others?
Anwser:I have had lots of experience with factories.Example: When the A.N.M.A. was intact world wide I was selected to put a program together for all their members . At that time I worked with over 150 factories.Believe me It was like a college education.That gives you a big shortcut.I look from day to day for factories that make professional supplements.We only want the best for our customers & you can count on Global Natural Health Assoc. Inc. WE CARE.
Question: Does the mind have something to do with your health ?
Answer: Many experts believe the following: Basically what your mind thinks,it will sooner or later produce in your experiences. What you think negative or positive , will sooner or later express itself in some form of action in your life.
Some people think negative thoughts have no effect on our bodies. This is not true , because the mind and the body are one and can not be separated. When you think negatively it affects your mental self and creates frustration and anger and many times will influence the physical body in the form of pain and eventually disease.
By observing negative patterns you can take action toward change.Does't it make common sence to get on a good balanced natural health program. When you begin to feel better, you will be more positive!! Many experts also believe your mind has a tremendous impact on your health. Worry undermines your immune system and actually makes you sicker. Optimism and hope have the opposite effect, so cheer up and feel better.
