Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts

How to get phytochemicals into your diet As someone who has studied holistic nutrition for many years, and read literally hundreds of books on the subject, I cannot overstate the importance of superfood supplementation.

We have now learned all of these prescription drugs are very dangerous for human consumption. People are out there saying, "We found out that all these drugs are so dangerous, but we don't have any alternative. Please keep these drugs legal!"

High-density whole food concentrates provide real nutrition In the world of holistic nutrition, we take whole foods from nature that are grown organically, or we take microalgae and other superfood supplements, and we dry them, grind them up, put them into powders, and then encapsulate those powders or shape them into pills or tablets.

It's a five-step program, and each step brings up a series of key issues in holistic nutrition.
