Clear Information

“The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.” - Gibran                                                                  

An overwhelming array of information is now available on the internet and in books, most written by experts and specialists in a particular facet of the health business or profession.  Some of the information is true scientific innovation; some of it is more theory than fact; some of it has the sole purpose of hyping a product. Because there is all this information to sort through, we want to provide a framework of clear information that enables you to sort some of the details into practical ideas that you can implement towards improving your wellbeing.

In this blog, we offer basic information about how the organic systems in your body function and the ways in which they might begin to malfunction because of inadequate nutritional building blocks. We offer ideas on pH balance, metabolic types, various reasons you might want to take nutritional supplements, and the reason it is impossible to get everything you need from those supplements.

We talk about the reasons our present food supply does not serve us as well as it could and what we can do about it. We explore the vegan/omnivore argument, raw vs. cooked foods, antioxidants, phytochemicals, brix, and many other topics of interest.

Since we have lived through so much of nutrition’s evolution and survived many inevitable mistakes, we feel that it is important to present an overview of the subject. We do not present these insights as “final” or “the” way because our knowledge continues to grow and evolve with new scientific innovation and research. We discover new and exciting ideas everyday and our picture, while explicit, is always left a work in progress.

We hope to build your enthusiasm for new ideas by actively helping you to feel more confident of your ability to make good decisions about your own health and the health of your loved ones.
