Nutrients of Nature vs drugs In his book entitled “ What your doctor doesn't know about nutritional medicine may be killing you” Dr. Ray D. Strand, M.D. disclosed that many sickness which could not be cured by modern drugs may find the answers in nutrition. This is true as it can be seen that diseases such as scurvy can be cured by Vitamin C and beri-beri- by vitamin B which are nutrients bestowed by nature. Drugs on the other hand, are usually chemically synthesized with raw materials not from plants or organic source. Hence all drugs are inherently dangerous and do have side effects though they may be approved by FDA. As drugs are synthetic and our bodies consider them as invaders. In this book by the same author entitled “ Death by Prescription” he referred to an article entitled “Incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalized Patients” in the “Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) wherein it was revealed that in 1994 more than 2.2 million people required hospitalization because of serious reactions to medication and more than 106,000 of theses patients actually died because of adverse drug reactions- reactions to properly prescribed and administered medications and this have not been changed significantly over the past 30 years ! Furthermore as we aged, the production of enzymes will be reduced, affecting the speed of breaking down and eliminating the drugs from the body and one particular enzyme is cytochrome P450 system. If the speed of breaking down and eliminating the drugs has been slowed down then it will choke up our systems and will give rise to more sickness which again will result more drugs being administered and this will seriously affect the function of kidney and the entire body systems which eventually will lead to death. Many of the side effect of drugs are not disclosed until and unless you make your own research into it and at times even the doctors who prescribed the drugs will not be able to tell you what are the side effects. With so many untold side effects, it is therefore logical we shall seek alternative remedies from nature in the form of nutrients which are bioavailable. Some scientists referred these nutrients as bionutriention, cellular nutritions or neutraceuticals. Basically it means the nutrition for the body's cells. As the method of cultivation of crops is becoming more and more commercialized with the aim of increasing output thus the nutritional value of the crops are often being overlooked or side stepped which necessitate us to look for suitable nutritional supplements in addition to our usual consumption of grains, vegetables and fruits. In the book entitled “Bionutrition” by Dr. Ray Strad it shows that there are significant health benefits to consume high quality nutritional supplements but the best source of nutritional supplements come from plants based nutrients as suggested by Dr. Brain R. Clement, the director of the Hippocrates Health Institute, in his book entitled “Supplements Exposed” which reveals many of the health supplements found in the market are synthesized rather than from the nature or plants which may affect our health instead of being beneficial to our health . Though we are able to explore the universe yet there are many mysteries in the plants' nutrients which are beneficial to our health are yet to be unlocked and scientists nowadays are still investigating the wonder of plants' nutrients however time is running out as many countries in the name of development have cleared thousands of kilometer squares of jungle thereby exterminate plants and herbs which are beneficial to human being and some plants and herbs may be on the verge of extinction ! To preserve the nature particularly plants and herbs we must first of all have some knowledge and information about the nutritional value of plants and herbs particularly in respect of health so that afford can be taken to preserve them. There is an interesting article published by the non profitable organization at its website with its title “ maybe the cure for cancer is sitting in your refrigerator” you may be doing yourself a favour by surfing into the site at http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/facts/nutrition.htm Thus in the next article I will examine the plants' nutrients and trace minerals to see how they will affect our well being.
