“Diet is the essential key to all successful healing. Without a proper balanced diet, the effectiveness of herbal treatment is very limited. With the appropriate eliminative or balanced diet, herbal treatment will prove itself to be effective where no medicine will work and will often be faster than the quick but temporary relief of Western drugs.”
-Michael Tierra, C.A., N.D.

Does taking high quality supplements and concentrated food complexes mean that you can eat whatever you want, avoid exercising, and be symptom free? No. I will admit that some people get away with it. They eat terribly. They smoke two packs a day and think that aerobic exercise is running to the bathroom during a commercial break. We all know someone like this, who seems as healthy as a horse.  However, by virtue of the fact that you need this blog series, it stands to reason that you are not one of those genetically blessed people.

I have been approached by individuals who were as sick as I once was.  They wanted to know since they were taking the exact supplements as me why they weren’t 100% symptom-free also. The right supplements should make you feel much better, but you can’t expect supplements to totally compensate for poisoning yourself with the Standard American Diet. (You also need to give supplements time to do their job.)  I wish it weren’t true, but there is no such thing as a magic pill or potion. That said, I would be miserable without my pills and potions.  However, without eating right, my pills and potions would be less effective.
