News of nutrients from 1962 onward whether in medical journals, newspapers, TV, radio are nearly or entirely all based on studies using the fractionated, crystalline-pure, synthetic chemicals. 2 Cellular malnutrition as a cause of diseases has been drifted away from in orthodox medicine, and synthetic vitamins, which have drug-like effects, have been embraced. Often, these synthetics actually contaminate the internal environment of the body. But these synthetics, unlike whole food concentrates, can be easily mass-produced by large pharmaceutical companies, who can store and distribute them. As a result, these isolated synthetics are used in nearly all-nutritional supplements, whether found in a drug store, health food store, or nutritionist s office.
Vitamins are groups of chemically related compounds .
But then there are enzymes, coenzymes, antioxidants, trace elements, activators, and other unknown factors that enable the vitamin to go into biochemical operation. This living vitamin complex cannot be taken apart and re-assembled and work the way it did before. Once the vitamin complex has been separated into its components and is dead and inert, it is then that the scientific method takes it and develops trials or experiments with it. Synthetic, fractionated, crystalline-pure vitamins are not whole, natural compounds. They are not food which human systems are familiar with.
