Heh, this is my site, and yes some of us do consume the

multi-organ-glandular. I do and I also give it to my elderly dog and even a

little to my younger dog every day. I can't stand the taste of liver, and

other organs or glands other than heart so get very little of those in my

diet. Even if I liked them, it's hard to get most of the locally anyway.

The idea behind the multi-organ-glandular is not so much to get a balance of

organs and glands, but to get whole-food vitamins, minerals and other

nutrients which tend to be concentrated in the organs and glands. Dr. Ron

considers this product to be a " whole food multi " .

I think it's optimal to get a variety of organs and glands fresh from

locally pastured animals, but the reality is that many of us can't get these

and/or can't stomach the taste. And may not get an optimal variety or amount

of nutrients otherwise.

Well, sure. I don't know the nutrient breakdown of all the organs/glands in

the organ delight, but for instance, heart is a rich source of CoQ10, brain

is a good source of DHA and cholesterol, pancreas provides pancreatic

enzymes and so on. Each one of these organs provides the nutrients for the

corresponding organ/gland in our own bodies, so, it's a way to provide whole

food-based nutrients for our organs and glands. In that sense, I guess to

some extent it is intended to provide a " balance " of organs and glands,

although I'm not sure " balance " is the most appropriate word. Maybe more

like " variety " of nutrients to nourish our organs and glands. I don't want

to get caught up in semantics, but I think you get the idea.

It sounds like you are eating a pretty good variety of organs already, which

is really the ideal, IMO.
