Only substances that are native to the earth and that are naturally occurring on the planet in the form of water, air, vegetation, soil and rock, and other life forms are accepted by the body as nutrition. Only nutrition is used by the body for repair and maintenance of the cells. At times the body may benefit from the supplementation of any substance that it also naturally produces. Not all naturally occurring substances on earth are needed by the body or can be used as nutrition. Some substances are harmful to the body and block biological systems.
All nutrients are either antagonistic or synergistic with other nutrients.
In higher or lower doses synergy and antagonism may reverse. The physical manifestation of a nutrient deficiency can be the same as if that nutrient is at a toxic level. Nutrients can effect the body at 4 degrees of action or levels. A homeopathic level which is mildly stimulating to the neuroendocrine system. A physiological level which is required by cells for growth and repair.
