OK, I'm generally anti-supplement. I believe that your diet should

provide all the nutrients you need. But realistically, despite my red

hair I'm not a gaelic islander. Our soils are poor and deprived of

minerals, at work I try to eat the best I can - wendy's chili or a

salad with grilled chicken (how healthy!), and even at home I can't

obtain grassfed or organic everything.

So I think I need a little help to reach the Weston Price levels. Cod

liver oil seems like a good choice. It seems like it should be taken

with a good source of vitamin E, like wheat germ oil or rice bran

oil. What about minerals? Azomite mineral powder? The crushed coral

sold on 4radiantlife? How well are minerals from supplements absorbed?

What do you guys do? Is Doctor Byrnes or Sally around to weigh in on

the 'essential supplements'?

Your sentiment is exactly correct. Both in the thought that we

should not need supplementing our food should be adequate. And also

the thought that the reality of things is that we don't, due to

inconvenience, poor soil, poor farming, etc...

I realize at times I sound like I'm on the payroll for Standard

Process, however I assure you I'm not. As I've written before they

are the oldest American Food Supplement producer. They have been

organically farming their land in wisconsin for over 70 years where

the top soil averages 8-10 FEET yes you read that right FEET.

Compared to 5-8 inches throughout North America.

Catalyn is their multi mineral/vitamin product it is all food

concentrate contrary to what some of their competitors say. I know

this first hand. Catalyn has every single nutrient known and unknown

in it. Whenever a " new " nutrient hss been identified over the last

70 years SP tests Catalyn for it and its there. It is the brain

child of SP's founder Dr. Royal Lee who was a contemporary of Weston

Price and one of a handful of the brilliant nutrition masters our

culture has seen. Catalyn was originally SP's only product, if I

only had one supplement to take I'm taking Catalyn. As does my whole

family as do most of my patients. There is no product anywhere in

the world that compares with Catalyn. It won't cure cancer or

improve your golf game it will just provide you with a massive amount

of concentrated food nutrients in a small package.

If you want a specific mineral supplement, SP's All Organic

Trace Minerals are the best in the world. All from food grown

organically on 8-10 feet of top soil. If you can find better take

it.

Yes SP is somewhat inconvenient to get as you can only get it

through a health care provider. However this is not hard you can get

it from me thru email, you can go to www.standardprocess.com and find

a doctor in your area who has them. Call him and say I want a bottle

of Catalyn and All Organic Trace Minerals, they will sell it to you

no problem.

If you have any further needs or questions on this topic as it

is what I do day in and day out, please feel free to contact me at my

email or re post here.

All My Very Best,

Dr. Marasco,BS,DC

Cincinnati, Oh

Ps- There are some people who will state that most SP products have

synthetic vitamins added. This statement is absolutely flat wrong.

This is purely a FDA compliance labeling issue. SP carries several

dozen products and I believe there to be exactly 5 of them with

synthetic additives number one they are obscure products and in

addition I simply do not recommend them.

I wish I didn't have to take supplements, but like you, I figure our soils

are so depleted it's just not feasible at the moment to get everything from

food.

As to what to take, that's a darn good question. Standard Process looks

like they genuinely do care about food quality more than anyone else, but

every single SP product I've looked at has soy in it, and I don't want to

touch any soy with a ten foot pole unless it's been traditionally fermented

to within an inch of its life, and not even then most of the time. I also

can't tolerate wheat and oats and other grains, so between the grains and

the soy, SP seems to be off the table for me.

I take a tablespoon or two of Carlson's lemon-flavor cod liver oil whenever

I remember, which is probably half the time, and I've tried azomite powder

with inconclusive results.

Hmm, I take the glandular supplements from Carotec that are recommended in

NT, plus a couple other things from them -- vitamin E and palm

tocontrionols, their " complete " vitamin C with OPC, and their milk thistle

extract. And I take a magnesium supplement, magnesium glycinate, from KAL.

, I have the Standard Process Allorganic Trace Mineral in front of me and

there is no soy in it, though there is some defatted wheat germ and oat flour.

But we are talking minute amounts here.
