"West often stresses that synthetic vitamins and minerals will not produce the same results as those derived from natural sources. I recall that in the past he has mentioned that Cataplex-B?contains vitamin 84, which won't be found in synthetic vitamins, although it is apparently important in this regard. I would also reconfimend employing both the CardioPlus?and Cataplex-B?that Dr. West employs, as well as the following additional nutrients that should not only speed up the recovery, but also strengthen the heart even more. ^ Goji." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"More truly effective drugs were invented between 1935 and 1955 than in all previous human history Penicillin was followed by other antibiotics, new vaccines, synthetic vitamins, antihistamines, tranquilizers, and steroid drugs like cortisone. Some of these new medicines set new standards because they didn't just soothe symptoms of illness. They actually cured or prevented life-threatening diseases. Children and young adults especially benefited. A child cured of tuberculosis by streptomycin could credit the antibiotic for decades of living." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"The smaller a nutrient is the more capability it has of entering into combination with other elements and forming the electrical matrix required to transfer energy to a cell. synthetic vitamins, due to their non-ionic structure, do not have this capability, nor are they complete complexes. Any food or vitamin must contain the appropriate live enzymes to be utilized by cells. Enzymes make transport of nutrients through cell walls possible. Live food comes complete with enzymes to assist with its digestion and assimilation. Most vitamin and mineral supplements do not contain enzymes." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Nature's vitamins heal. synthetic vitamins stimulate, but do not heal. Dr. Royal Lee, who founded Standard Process Laboratories, notes that: Natural complexes differ from synthetic, crystalline vitamins in many ways: 1 They are colloidal, protein in nature, in the form of an enzyme or coenzyme. 2 The crystalline vitamin itself, in the natural product is in a critical combination and cannot be split off without destroying its biological activity. If separated, it must recombine with the other members of the complex before it can function as a nutrient." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Further, the body frequently is unable to assimilate synthetic vitamins. TRUTH #4: Some vitamins must be precisely balanced with other vitamins. Otherwise, the body is incapable of absorbing and using the vitamins. Worse yet, it is possible to overdose on certain vitamins. This, of course, produces a very undesirable toxic reaction in the body. TRUTH #5: There are some sleazy criminal manufacturers out there turning out some low quality vitamins. On top of that, there are some additives and fillers in vitamin tablets and capsules that cause allergic reactions in some people." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "It's not enough to pop a few synthetic vitamins in the morning to give one the necessary nutrition. So let's let the cat out of the bag. THE TRUTH ABOUT VITAMINS TRUTH #1: Yes, the body does need vitamins. In fact, in view of the poor quality of the food supply that is available in the marketplace today, the body desperately needs them. TRUTH #2: Yes, in some specific cases, just giving a high concentration of a good quality vitamin can bring about a healthy recovery within a patient. But these cases are few and far between, nowadays." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Light passing through a natural vitamin always bends to the right due to its molecular rotation. synthetic vitamins behave differently. That same ray of light splits into two parts when passing through a synthetic-one part bending to the right (d for dexorotary), the other to the left (1 for levorotary). A natural vitamin E fraction, for example, is easily identified by the "d-alpha tocopherol." the synthetic by "dl-alpha-tocopherol." (Incidentally, the body can't use the 1-form of vitamin E, and the 1-form may even inhibit the d-form from entering cell membranes." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Natural and synthetic vitamins are not necessarily the same thing. 2. In nature, nutrients do not exist in isolation; they exist in nutrient complexes. And as it turns out, our bodies require the complexes, not the isolates. Natural vs Synthetic Actually, vitamins can be classified as either totally natural, co-natural, or synthetic. Totally Natural Almost no vitamins that you buy are totally natural. Why? Quite simply, cost. Direct extraction of vitamins from foods is prohibitively expensive." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"These synthetic vitamins are usually labeled thiamine (Bl), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and calcium pantothenate (B5). Did You Know? In a study where pigs were fed large amounts of synthetic B vitamins, the pigs produced sterile offspring. synthetic vitamins provide no nutritional value—they are poisonous! Since white flour contains no fiber, it is difficult to pass through the large intestine. Processed foods often contain large amounts of white flour that can cause constipation and significantly increase waste transit time, and this gives toxins more time to enter the bloodstream." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Animals that were fed enriched white flour products died first because the enrichment of this flour is from synthetic vitamins and minerals. Raw whole wheat contains approximately fifty main nutrients whereas refined white flour contains no more than two or three. Too Much Protein Our bodies use protein to make, repair, and replace tissue. The structural materials of cells are proteins reinforced by minerals. Contrary to popular opinion, the body does not use protein from its tissues for energy." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "APPENDIX 8 purchasing supplements When selecting and buying supplements, remember that: þNature's vitamins heal; synthetic vitamins stimulate the body but do not heal. þNatural complexes come from live, whole organic food sources, with their enzymes and electrical properties intact. They have been manufactured with minimal processing. þNo supplement should be taken in concentrations greater than those found in food. þThe body cannot use, and does not accept, isolated or synthetic nutrients." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"That means avoiding synthetic vitamins and minerals because these laboratory creations do not contain all of the co-factors and synergistic values that nature provides," says Fitzgerald. Given Fitzgerald's research on food processing, getting the "Recommended Daily Allowances" of the vitamins we need from the foods we eat may not be possible. That does not mean you should not improve your food intake or avoid educating yourself on how to get the most from what we have available." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"As naturopaths and holistic nutritionists and anyone in wellness and natural health knows, there is a huge difference in synthetic vitamins and nutrients versus living vitamins and nutrients. The health effects from living vitamins are vastly different from that of dead foods or synthetic chemicals. When you take a green bean off of a bean bush in your garden and eat it in its raw living form, you're giving yourself an outstanding form of nutrition that goes beyond merely the vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, carbohydrates, and other measurable nutrients in that green bean." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"If you are going to supplement your pet's diet with synthetic vitamins and minerals, be sure to consult a holistic veterinarian first. Both vitamins and minerals are required in minute amounts, so it is better to under-do than to over-do. Vitamin A (Beta-carotene and Retinol) Vitamin A occurs in two forms: beta-carotene and retinol. Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene is primarily in leafy green and yellow vegetables, carrots, dandelion greens (which contain five times the amount of vitamin A as carrots), sweet potatoes, broccoli, kale, and fruit." - Ann N. Martin, Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food (Get the book.)

"In a study where pigs were fed large amounts of synthetic B vitamins, the pigs produced sterile offspring. synthetic vitamins provide no nutritional value—they are poisonous! Since white flour contains no fiber, it is difficult to pass through the large intestine. Processed foods often contain large amounts of white flour that can cause constipation and significantly increase waste transit time, and this gives toxins more time to enter the bloodstream." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"In any case, synthetic vitamins should be avoided at all cost. A large study testing the potential benefits of antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta carotene for the heart in women found no benefits whatsoever. The study was reported on CNN August 14, 2007. You will need to determine whether it is worthwhile to spend a lot of money on supplements that don't work, but could possibly affect you negatively. What about Taking Extra Minerals?" - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"This is one of the major reasons why whole food supplements are so much better than chemical or synthetic vitamins. It is also the reason why studies and research done on synthetic vitamins do not necessarily show favorable results. When studies are conducted with whole food concentrates, whole food concentrates that include not only the vitamin in question, but all the cofactors and parts and elements that defy analysis, the results are always better. Remember, science is not better than nature." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Synthetic vitamins are produced in laboratories from isolated chemicals that mirror their counterparts found in nature. Natural vitamins are derived from food sources. Although there are no major chemical differences between a vitamin found in food and one created in a laboratory, synthetic supplements contain the isolated vitamins only, while natural supplements may contain other nutrients not yet discovered. This is because these vitamins are in their natural state." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"Stripping away all the nutrition from a grain of wheat and then adding in minute quantities of synthetic vitamins is not the way nature intended for food to be prepared. So even though we are a population that consumes massive quantities of calories — in fact, one meal at an American restaurant is enough to feed a family of four in most countries around the world — we still suffer from widespread malnutrition caused by nutritional deficiencies in the foods we're consuming. The foods and drinks we eat and drink are simply not nutritious." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Many breakfast cereals are also very highly fortified foods, full of hard to digest synthetic vitamins and minerals added during processing that may not even have been present in the original product. In addition, the processing of cereals (including those found at health food stores) often involves high heat and high temperatures that can deplete or destroy nutrients. Suggestion #4: Avoid canned fruits and vegetables. Replacement: Choose fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, especially lots of leafy greens and a variety of colors. Choose organic whenever possible." - M.D. David Brownstein, The Guide to Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"Food Fortification: No Substitute For the Real Thing In response to concerns over the substantial nutrient losses resulting from processing, food manufacturers now routinely fortify their products with synthetic vitamins and minerals. The labels of these products then proudly boast about this 'enhancement', as if adding one or two isolated vitamins somehow makes up for the wide-ranging nutrient losses that occurred during manufacture." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"These are the kinds of changes that no surgeon, no drugs, and even no synthetic vitamins and minerals can produce. Quite amazing if you just compare it with the traditional therapy of bypass surgery, or transplants and a lifetime of immune suppressing medications. The reason Standard Process?only sells their products through doctors is because they have a fairly extensive line of products, which can be confusing when determining which ones might be the most appropriate for a particular condition. As doctors, we are provided a lot of excellent information in that regard." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Cutting the fat from these items also cuts their valuable fat-soluble vitamin content, which is why low-fat dairy products are routinely fortified with synthetic vitamins A and D. No such fortification program exists for low-fat meats and, for some reason, vitamin E is not added to dairy foods. So when you throw out egg yolks, use non- or low-fat dairy products, and eat only lean varieties of meat and fish, you are effectively cutting your intake of essential fat-soluble vitamins(46)." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Food companies will often add synthetic vitamins and minerals to their refined grains. Don't be fooled by the list of enriched items added back into a product; it is still inferior to the whole grain. As is the case with all refined products, the refining process is done in order to prolong the shelf life indefinitely and increase profit margins. Avoid products that do not have an expiration date. Remember, any product that can sit on the shelf forever without going rancid has no nutritional value to the body and should be avoided. What are the healthiest vegetables to include in the diet?" - M.D. David Brownstein, The Guide to Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"The pharmaceutical companies that make garbage synthetic vitamins and seek to mass-market their junk to the American public have nothing to worry about. Their products are so useless that they don't produce a health effect of any kind. Only the companies that are truly helping people will be harassed. Many of the large pharmaceutical-linked companies that comprise CRN and NNFA want this legislation. Its costs will place all the small and innovative nutritional companies at a serious disadvantage." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"They also contain flour and unsprouted grains, additives, artificial colors, preservatives and synthetic vitamins, creating a virtually dead food that can cause physical imbalances and deficiencies. This could set the stage for serious health problems, as your body will view the cereal as a foreign invader, stimulating the white blood cells to mobilize their forces unnecessarily. Now your body is off and running, all because of a few bites of multicolored cereal." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.) "I don't believe synthetic vitamins should be used at all. 4. If you notice that your urine is darker than usual, you can be sure your body is not being adequately hydrated. You may have done a good job of drinking your water one day and then forgot to drink every hour the next day because you were too busy. The body doesn't care how busy you are or what kind of work deadline you are under. All it knows is that it needs to be replenished with water constantly throughout the day or it can't do its job properly. If it can't do its job, you will suffer the consequences! 5." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Synthetic vitamins may be dangerous to the body under certain conditions, in high doses can damage the Immune system. Tablets are subjected to heating, excipients, fillers, binders, and coatings. THE WATER- & FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS NOTE: All Vitamins, Minerals and Proteins are organized in the following EIGHT-PARTS for clarity: •NAME Nutrient identification, Atomic Number, positive or negative aspect, average body content, technical data, and variations. •WORKS WITH Lists the other nutrients which this particular Nutrient makes more effective in operative power or endurance." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)

"Chemically isolated and synthetic vitamins are devoid of all their synergists. The body treats natural and synthetic vitamins differently. When defining carbohydrates, vitamins, fats, or any other food element, each must be considered as a complex, made up of many forms, and the best philosophy is to get as many forms as possible. Years ago, a Cuban study found that fish liver oil (vitamin A) had antihypertensive effects. However, when American doctors tried to duplicate the study, they failed. Later, it was discovered that the vitamin A concentrate used in the U.S." - Henry Pasternak, D.V.M., C.V.A., Healing Pets With Nature's Miracle Cures (Get the book.)
