Medical research has proven oxidative stress to be the root cause of over 70 chronic degenerative diseases such as: heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s dementia, macular degeneration, lupus, MS; the list goes on. The area of the body most affected by oxidative stress will determine which chronic degenerative disease is most likely to develop. Oxidative stress happens when our bodies are affronted daily by excessive production of free radicals caused by our polluted environment, stressful lifestyles, and over-medicated society. Though we can dramatically reduce the amount of free radicals our bodies produce by not smoking, decreasing stress levels, and avoiding toxic chemicals, most of our bodies are still unable to fight the overwhelming daily attack on the natural defense system. Balance is the key--we need enough antioxidants available to neutralize the free radicals being produced in our bodies.
Cellular nutrition involves providing the cell with all of the essential nutrients--antioxidants along with the supporting B vitamins and antioxidant mineral--at optimal levels; (amounts shown to provide a health benefit in medical literature) not RDA or RDI levels (minimal levels needed to prevent acute deficiency diseases like scurvy, pellagra, or rickets).
Cellular nutrition is "preventive medicine" at its best because we can literally prevent the disease process at its core by preventing oxidative stress from occurring, thus allowing the best opportunity to enhance the body’s natural antioxidant defense system, immune system, and repair system.
Should you be taking nutritional supplements? I highly recommend the book What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You by Dr Ray Strand (Thomas Nelson, 2002). It documents the overwhelming medical evidence in our medical literature that clearly shows the tremendous health benefits of taking high quality nutritional supplements.
Buyer beware! Not all supplements are created equally. Contact Dr. Karen Wolfe to find out how to choose a high quality nutritional supplement.
