Common OTC Medication Depletes Life-Saving Nutrient
Many Adverse Drug Events (ADR's) are not caused by the drug directly. Instead, they are the result of drug-induced nutritional deficiencies.One glaring example of this would be Aspirin™.
Marketed and prescribed for daily use to prevent heart attack, Aspirin™ depletes the body of the life-saving nutrient folic acid (as well as iron, potassium, sodium and vitamin C).
Symptoms of folic acid depletion include anemia, birth defects, elevated homocysteine (a risk factor for heart disease), headache, fatigue, hair loss, insomnia, diarrhea and increased infection.
This warning should not be taken lightly. Studies show that the side effects of Aspirin™ are so severe that they can cause a higher death rate relative to the populations who do not take it. Aspirin™ is a shining example of how marketing hype can supercede science.

Why 90% Need Nutritional Supplements
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, only nine percent of all American adults consume enough healthy foods to reach their minimum recommended daily intake of nutrients to assure proper health. In other words, 90% of American adults lack essential nutrients to stay alive.
Substantiating this, Johns Hopkins researchers Ames and Wakimoto show that "suboptimal nutrient intake is a widespread problem" in the USA. Such nutrients include, but are not limited to, vitamin C, folic acid, magnesium, acetyl-L-carnitine, zinc, copper, B12, essential fatty acids, vitamin D and selenium. The importance of these nutrients demands attention. Take heed.
A lack of nutrients results in a lack of "metabolic harmony." Metabolic harmony can be described as the ability of your body to properly maintain DNA function by minimizing damage to it. DNA serves as a genetic map, continually working to guide your body to proper health.
A deficiency in any ONE nutrient can wreak havoc on DNA, thereby disrupting "metabolic harmony." As a result, the mechanism by which DNA directs the body to perfect health becomes weakened.
Live free of pandemic killers such as obesity, insulin resistance, cancer, heart disease, and many others!
