The dietary supplements are an integral part of the programs in this book. Without them, the programs don’t work properly and mediocre results are the best you can hope for. I have tried to balance body metabolisms with diet alone and have never succeeded. The supplements are not therapeutic agents in the manner that drug medications are, they are included to add to the overall nutrient content of the program. After twenty-two years of trial and error experimentation, I’ve learned which supplements give the best results and for this reason have included them in the book. In the case of Formula Six, the multi-vitamin and mineral tablets, I had to formulate them myself as there was nothing on the market that gave the results I was looking for.
In the first edition of this book I omitted to mention which brand of supplements to take and where to get them. This upset a few people because they didn’t know what to buy or where to buy it and some were not getting the results from the programs the book had led them to expect.
Many people became stressed-out trying to hunt down what they hoped were the appropriate supplements. Many complained by phone and letter that they had wasted a lot of time searching for suitable supplements and still didn’t have them. As a result of this a mail order service was born, as I felt obliged to procure the appropriate supplements and post them to those people.
The supplements described in this book should be available at your health store. However, experience has taught my readers, my patients and myself that some health store proprietors are not reliable at keeping stocks up and reordering when out of stock.
Do not start the programs without the supplements—their effects will be minimised and I don’t want you to be disheartened, especially if you have been let down by other treatment regimes in the past. The programs are not complete without the supplements as even fresh foods are vitamin and mineral deficient these days.
If you want to be assured of optimum results I personally recommend you stay on all the supplements listed in this program, for all time. However, I realise that tablet taking annoys some people and the cost of long term supplementation is prohibitive to others. Both of these factors can be stresses, which undermine the good effects of the program. If you fall into either of these categories reduce the oils, vitamin C powder and Lugol’s iodine by 50 per cent, but be prepared to raise them again if you feel your form dropping. Don’t reduce the Formula Six. I wish there was an easier way than dietary supplementation to get and stay well, but unfortunately there is not. The age of dietary supplements is upon us, whether we like it or not.
Remember: The two most important nutrients are water and oxygen. If you are deficient in either, results from the program and supplements will be mediocre. Fluid levels can drop quickly (within an hour or so) and cause a corresponding drop in physical energy and mental alertness. Don’t miss a drink. Consume the appropriate number of glasses every day. Consult the water consumption tables earlier in this chapter to make sure you are getting the right amount. These water tables are based on accurate scientific measurements of the fluid needs of body tissues (non-fat) and weight-to-water ratio. The amounts recommended are those needed to facilitate optimum metabolic function.
Try and do the deep-breathing exercises every day.
Because there is so much important data in this chapter that has to be remembered, I suggest you read it three or four times before getting started on the program.
