Speaker 1 (00:04):
Be my physician.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
He said, you're definitely ill. Thanks to the nurse. I've
seen worse than the doctor.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Just gave me a pill.

Speaker 2 (00:11):

stop on till you're really dinner awful. Better keep out
of the region children. The thing is that some side effects,
you mean, the probably will well. Limits of fact you
can't come. I'll give you another film. On top of that,
on top of that, on top of that, on top
of that, on top of that, on top of that,

(00:31):
and many showed me his bill.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I popped another pill.

Speaker 4 (00:36):

Speaker 5 (01:23):
You are listening to the Alternative Healthcare Network.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Welcome to this week's show, When Your Health Matters, the
show designed to empower you to better health through knowledge
and education. And I'm your host, doctor Richard Huntun from
Advanced Alternative Medicine Center. And here's my partner for the show,
your health advocate Mark Saban.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Good to be back with you, Doc. Last week we
were talking about the food that you eat, and this
week I thought I'd go into one aspect of the
food that you eat, which a lot of people are
taking and supplementing their diets with our vitamins. What is
the story with vitamins?

Speaker 3 (01:59):
What do you mean is well, where.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Do they come from? And why is it such a
You know, you see them everywhere on the stores and
drug stores and grocery stores, and I know that there
are differences in the way they're made and what the
quality of them is and how they might affect your health.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's funny. I'm just reflecting on what you just said
in terms of you see them everywhere, and you mentioned
drug stores, and I just the way that you said that,
it hit me in such a way that we, as
a society of people actually have stores where you can
go buy drugs, and that just to me is a
slap in the face of humanity because that is just

(02:43):
so opposite of what the creator intended for us in
order for us to stay healthy and to stay functional,
taking toxic chemicals known to have harmful side effects. But
since that is the case in our society, and since
the food has been depleted, which we talked about last week,
and how all that works, the way that it works, okay, Yeah,

(03:06):
So they took some of these chemicals and they coordinated
them in such a way to equate with what the
science has researched. That is vitamin A, and what is
vitamin B, and vitamin C and vitamin D and vitamin
E and vitamin well, not so much vitamin F because
the production companies don't know about vitamin F or even

(03:29):
vitamin P or vitamin J. They know about vitamin K,
and so they've come up with this story that you
need these vitamins. Well, back in the day when they
were discovering what is in food and what is the
active factors and what allows food to promote health, etc.
They determined what things were vital for the diet, and

(03:53):
they had these ingredients known as amines. And so the
word vitamin was actually two words bds that were combined
into one, vital and amans, and so it became the word.
They crunched the two words together and it became the
word vitamins. And so vitamins are essential for health and

(04:14):
they should be found in our food and they are
not due to the refining process. And again that word
vitamin was originally a combination of vital and a mean,
and the vital part indicated the importance, and the I
mean was the ingredients that were also vital, usually containing nitrogen.
And so that's where the word vitamin comes from. And

(04:35):
that's we've been browbeat into our psyche, the understanding that
we need to be taking vitamins if we're quote going
to be healthy.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah, and then I mean, you hear people are taking
vitamins and multi vitamins and vitamins for people of this
age and vitamins for women and vitamins for men and
vitamins for children.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
So with all marketing crap, all of it is marketing crap,
all of it.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
So does everybody need the same vitamins?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
No, everybody doesn't need the same vitamins. I can tell
you that in the course of my career. The two
main vitamins that have been promoted over the years is
one a day and they now call it one a
day plus iron because people are anemic. And the other
one is centrum and you get the centrum, you get

(05:25):
the centrum silver for the people who have silver hair,
so that's for the elderly, et cetera. And those two
main vitamin companies, what they sell as their vitamin is
all one pure chemical crap.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Why would it need to be chemical.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Because that's how they make these vitamins and high concentrations.
And you look on the label and it's got vitamin
A and it's got you know, this percentage of the
recommended daily allowance. And the one that's really notorious are
the B vitamins and the C vitamins. You get B vitamins.
I had a person bring their B vitamin supplement in
and they were getting forty thousand percent of the recommended

(06:09):
daily allowance. Nowhere in nature does nature concentrate a B
vitamin into forty thousand percent of what a body needs.
So that's all chemical synthetics that they create in a
chemistry lab and they sell, and they've given us the
illusion in our psyche that if a little is good,
more must be better. So the higher concentration of quote

(06:30):
vitamins that are in this particular product, it's got to
be a better product. One in reality, it doesn't have
any function in your body. And if anything derails normal
function in your body. So when people bring me their
supplements and their vitamins, and you know they've been taking
them forever long, they've been taking them, and I demonstrate
through a muscle test that that actually creates a weakness

(06:51):
for them, it's pretty eye opening for them because now
they start to open their mind up to the fact
that what they've been taken in an effort to try
to help themselves is probably what's making them feel like crap.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
How interesting. But why, I mean, if they're able to
do the chemical analysis of what's in the vitamin, why
are we not able to reconstruct it in the laboratory
and make it worthwhile.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Because there's an ingredient that man has not figured out
how to mass produce or even duplicate. At this point,
we don't even know how to duplicate this one vital ingredient.
That one vital ingredient mark, what is that? That's the
god ingredient, That's what you find in nature that allows
nature to be nature. Man doesn't understand nature. Man wants

(07:37):
to try to control nature, and in its ignorance, he
actually destroys nature. And we are the byproduct of us
destroying nature based upon what we take from nature bastardize
and chemicalize, and then we take it in and we
call it food.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
But now, vitamins are essential for maintaining good health, and
the products that you use are based out of whole foods.
So how do the whole food vitamins support your health
whereas the chemical vitamins don't.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, Because the whole foods provide the minerals, trace minerals, cofactors,
and enzymes, et cetera needed to support proper function in
the body, the micronutrients, et cetera. Those things are found
in the whole food vitamins because they're made by nature.
Chemical synthetics are missing all of those things, so you're nothing.

(08:28):
You're getting nothing but chemical substrates. And if your body
system doesn't know how to process those chemicals because they're
not natural, then what they end up doing is creating
a chemical response which can either push or pull the
body in a particular direction, and over time, that's going
to lead to a health problem.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
So how do vitamins then promote health?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
The ones that you buy on the shelf that's made
of chemical crap, they don't. They actually deplete you of health.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
But what about the whole food ones.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Ones they provide you with the ingredients that your body
needs that you're not getting from your food because they've
been stripped out of your food. So the whole food
vitamins are putting back the missing ingredients. And because they're
made from food, they're actually in a form that the
body can use and there's no resistance, there's no fighting,
there's no inflammatory process as a result of it being

(09:23):
some sort of chemical substrate. No, it knows what to
do with food, So it takes the food, it processes
it normally, and the body runs more efficiently.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Now they always talk about vitamins and they lump them
together with minerals. But those are two different things, aren't they.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
They are the minerals actually are like the gas that
makes the vitamin go. And so when you have minerals
and traits minerals and cofactors and enzymes, etc. Those are
the active portion that takes the main ingredient like the
B vitamin or the C vitamin, et cetera, and actually
gives it function.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Now you said that, you know there's all these synthetic
vitamins what you see on the shelves. How can you
tell the difference between a whole food vitamin and one
that is a synthetic.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Well, the whole food vitamins will say made from whole food,
but you have to be careful with that because they
are misleading people with how they put that kind of
verbiage on the label. And then when you look at it,
you turn the label over and you look at the
concentrations and the percentages of RDAs. If any of them
are above one hundred percent, then you know that what

(10:31):
you're getting is crap.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Because the whole food ones would never go above that.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Well, yeah, they typically don't go above that because that's
how nature makes them. Now, can they concentrate something to
make it have an extra level of value. They can,
but again, it's made from real ingredients. If you look
at the ingredients of any kind of thing that you're
putting into your pie hole and you can't even pronounce
what the ingredient is, then you don't want to put
that in your pie hole.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
So it sounds like what I'm understanding is that some
if you take these synthetic vitamins, and that's something you've
been doing for a long time, you could actually be
doing something harmful to yourself.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, you're growing a health problem. You're growing a health problem,
and the fuel for that health problem is the chemical
synthetic crap that you're taking that you think that you're
using to help yourself.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Even though you're augmenting your diet by taking this. In
addition to say you're eating a good, healthy diet.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
You're augmenting your diet with things that block the ability
to process what you're taking in through your diet.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Wow. Wow, So I mean this whole food vitamins they're
just they're just your body can actually incorporate them and
use them. Is what is really what you're fundamental?

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, because it's in the form that nature produced them
in that you happen to purchase because the company took
the vegetables or the food sources and turn them into
a food concentrate. And then you take the food concentrate
and you enhance your meal by replenishing the parts of

(12:09):
the meal that have probably been stripped out.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
So you're actually not only augmenting your health, you're actually
augmenting the food that you're.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Eating, right, which is the key to your health.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
So this whole idea of the I mean, this is
something we've talked about quite a bit that what's happened
to food over the last one hundred or so years
is that it's the quality of it has diminished and
a lot of the ingredients that are necessary for your
health to complete that food are no longer available in it. Right.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
They replace them with petroleum based products in an effort
to give it a shelf life. And at the end
of the day, you shouldn't be putting that kind of
stuff in your body, because if you put that kind
of stuff in your body, then your body is going
to start to malfunction.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well, there's a whole alphabet soup of vitamins with all
these letters. I mean, you already mentioned A, B and
C and D, So what is the difference between them
and why do they have I mean, why are they
have those particular labels.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Well, the best source of those is from food, and
each food has different concentrations of these vitamins, some more
than others. And so when you use a whole food
based supplement, like we have whole food based supplements for
each one of those vitamins, and it's the actual vitamin
and all of its cofactors and its enzymes that actually
give it function in the concentrations that your body needs

(13:39):
in order to have value from taking it. And so
when you use a whole based, whole food supplement, that's
been correlated with what's going on with you physically, and
it's going to be part of the ingredients that your
body needs in order to go back into balance. Okay,
well cool, Now you're taking ingredients into the body that's
going to help me normal function. And then a funny

(14:02):
thing happened your health returns m hm.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You know. One of the things I recently had to
go and had had blood work done, and one of
the things that they say is if you're taking vitamins,
stop for forty eight hours before you go in for
the blood test for a fasting blood test. Is the
same hold true of these natural, whole food vitamins.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
I tell my patients this every single time their doctor says, well,
you need to stop taking your vitamins when you come
in for this test, And I'm just like, Okay, what
I want you to do because of what we're giving
you aren't vitamins, their food. So ask your doctor if
what they want you to refrain from doing also includes food.

(14:50):
If the doctor's like, no, you can still eat well, good,
then you can take the supplements that you get from
my office because they're food.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Even though they're in that high concentration.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
They want you to stop taking the chemical crap ones
because the chemical crap ones change your blood chemistry, and
then they get an artificial or an irregular result because
you're enhancing your blood results based upon or you're depleting
your blood results based upon the crap chemical vitamins that
you're consuming.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
So that's that, I mean, that kind of supports everything
that you've been saying about the difference between the vitamins
that you would get off the shelf that are chemically
based and the vitamins that are whole food. Right. There
was a.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Study done a number of years ago where they were
trying to correlate if vitamin E had any positive benefits
on heart health or if it was a detriment. And
so it was interesting. The first study that came out
said that vitamin E is harmful to the health of
the heart. Okay, and then they repeated the study. Different

(15:57):
group of researchers repeated the study using whole food vitamin E,
and what they found was that whole food vitamin E
actually enhanced how the heart functions. So then you went
back and looked at the first study, Well, which is
it is that it hurts the heart or that it
helps the heart. Well, it depends on what you're using

(16:18):
as a source. If you're using crap vitamin e, that's
going to hurt the heart. If you're using whole food
vitamin E that's going to enhance the heart. So you've
got to understand what it is that you're talking about.
But they generally would say vitamin E, Well, what kind
of vitamin e? Real or fake, whole food or chemical?

(16:38):
And you need to understand that. But the average consumer
doesn't have the time or the brain capacity to even
understand any of that, which is why you can go
to G and C and you can buy a whole
bunch of crap that they sell there, and all of
it is just that it's crap. It's a store to
sell you crap.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
And you think you're getting something for your hand.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yes, why because it's been promoted it on television through
the commercials, and all the people in the commercials they're happy,
they look vibrant, they're dancing around the store. They're just like, Oh,
I'm so glad that I got this. And at the
end of the day, it goes back to being a
Jedi mind trick. They're convincing you that it's something's true
when in fact they know it's false, and they're just

(17:19):
trying to sell you something that you don't need because
they're that insecure that they want to make extra money.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
So really you're dealing with a situation. So if you're
dealing with somebody who's been doing this in your practice,
and somebody's been taking these synthetic vitamins for some period of.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Time, hopefully we find out on the very first visit you.
Part of what I asked them to do is bring
your supplements in. Whatever you're taking, you bring it in.
Your medicines, your supplements, whatever you're taking, bring it in,
and let's see how your body feels about it. And
I had a woman in here the other day. She
had five medications and one supplement, and her body tested

(18:00):
week for all of them. Wow, And she thought she
was helping herself, and you know it was funny. She
came back three days later and she telled me, doctor Ontune,
I just want to thank you, I said, for what
she said. What you showed me the other day in
our first visit, I think changed my life beneficially. It's like,

(18:23):
why is that? She says, you showed me that this
medication didn't agree with my body. So I just stopped
taking it and I feel better already. And I was like, well,
you need to go have a conversation with at least
a pharmacist, but you should go have a conversation with
a doctor that prescribed it and say, listen, I want
to come off of this. What's the healthy, safe way
in order for me to do that. Listen to their

(18:44):
argument as to why they don't want you to come
off of it, and you make a decision for yourself.
Because at the end of the day, you're the highest
authority on you.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's so true. Well, this is a good conversation, doct Rick.
We need to take a short commercial break to hear
from my general sponsor, they Alternative Healthcare Network dot com.
When we get back, I want to ask some more
questions on the subject of vitamins. Absolutely, but please listen
to this commercial. You're listening to.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
The Alternative Healthcare Network dot com.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
You are listening to the Alternative Healthcare Network.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
If you're currently suffering from any health concern and you're
not getting the results you're looking for, please feel free
to call me directly at area code eight four five
five six one two two two five again eight four
five five six one two two two five, or you
can email me directly at docric at spineboy dot com.
That's Doc riic K at spine boy dot com, and

(19:39):
I look forward to serving your healthcare needs naturally.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
You are listening to the Alternative Healthcare.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Network, So, Doc Rick, you know, I think it'd be
helpful if we could look a little bit specifically at
what the different vitamins are and what their benefits are
and how they affect your health and so we might
as well start at the top the alphabet with vitamin A.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, but I want to put it a little calvea
out there in terms of what I'm going to discuss
with the listener is I want you to understand that
these are whole food vitamins. These are not your GNC
crap chemical vitamins. These are whole food vitamins, and what
the benefit of taking whole food vitamins are and what
part of the body is impacted by having plenty of

(20:23):
this particular whole food ingredient. So you said, what was
the first one you want to start with?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Well, I think we would start with the top of
the alphabet, and I mean I would assume that even
the crap vitamins will tell you that the same part
of your body that's being affected is what's being effected.
But there's a difference.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
In terms of the results.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
The results in the value, right.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
So if you want to get results using vitamins, then
you want to use whole food vitamins, not chemical vitamins.
And so vitamin A affects eyesight, affects immunity, affects reproduction, affects skin,
bone growth, teeth and soft te issue growth, so you
want to get plenty of whole food vitamin A if
you have any issues with those parts of your body,

(21:08):
in an effort to enhance them so that they can
no longer have a problem with that part of your body.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
That I'd always heard that carrots have a lot of
vitamin A and that if you eat a lot of
carrots that would be good for your eyesight.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
It is which is you know, we were clued into
by looking at a carrot on its face. When you
cut into a carrot and you see the shape of
the carrot, it looks exactly like the human eye.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Interesting, nature is smart. Nature is smart. Now you said, Now,
vitamin A also does things for blood and the condition
of your body.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah, it helps to strength and inform proper blood cells.
So vitamin A is good for that.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
M What happens if you, buddy, you actually lack vitamin A?

Speaker 3 (21:51):
What happens you will develop issues related to growth and development,
And you know you're going to have abnormal growth or
you're going to have deficiencies in your development.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Well, if you're full grown, does that still hold true?

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yeah, because you want to maintain your body. You know,
age is a byproduct of nutritional deficiencies. If you want
to stay young, then put quality food in and get
all your vitamins.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
So do I need to take a supplement or can
I just eat a lot of carrots?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
You can eat a lot of carrots, but how often
do you like to eat carrots? I mean, you're not
a rabbit, so you don't live off carrots. But you know,
some people eat carrots once in a blue moon. Some
people eat carrots every day. So it just depends upon
what your circumstance are is. But even if you're eating
whole food carrots and you still have issues with your eyesight,

(22:43):
then you're obviously not getting enough of that ingredient. So
maybe you want to supplement that with again a whole
food vitamin A supplement.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
And if you lack vitamin A, with the conditions that
you might see in somebody that lacks vitamin.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
A, you're going to get growth retarded problems then related
to all the things that vitamin A supports. And so
you know, you just want to make sure that you're
getting high quality vitamin A so that your body can
grow the way that it's supposed to, that your eyes
will be healthy, that your immunity will be strong, your

(23:20):
reproduction will function and you'll have good strong teeth.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Mm hmm. Okay, So let's go to the second letter
of the alphabet, the letter B. What does vitamin B
do well.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Vitamin B supports energy production, helps brain function, helps cell metabolism,
red blood cell formation. In association with vitamin A. It's
nervous system health, especially the nervous system and the heart rhythm,
the DNA replication for cell replication, amino acid metabolism, fetal
nervous system, and neural tube defects in the fetus. If

(23:55):
you don't have enough vitamin B.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Now, it's not just one type of vite vitamin B.
For some reason, they didn't name them by different letters.
They have B one, B two, and so on.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Right, so they classified the general what they thought were
the B vitamins. The second vitamin discovered they discovered they
called it vitamin B without knowing that there were different
fractions within the vitamin B, which gives you the B one,
the B two, the B three, the B four, the
B five, all the way up to I've heard as

(24:27):
high as B twenty five.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Wow. So I mean, if you're taking a whole food
vitamin B, are you getting all the factors or do
you have to take specific You know, a lot of
people take vitamin B twelve is what I hear about. Well.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
B twelve is because when you deplete the body of
its good probiotics, then you have no ability to absorb
B twelve. And since everybody took antibiotics and didn't replenish
their bowel system, then they don't have probiotics. Therefore they
can't absorb B vitamins. And that became readily understood in
the elderly, so they used to give them B twelve shots.

(25:04):
But if you're taking the whole food cataplex B, then
you're getting all the B vitamins and all the proper ratios.
But they also have B six, they also have B twelve,
and so there's various B vitamins that you can take
as isolated in an effort to have a tool in
which to fill in the depletion while you're supporting all

(25:27):
the B vitamins at the same time.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Now, are there specific foods that are rich in vitamin B?

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Sure, there's eggs, yogurt, liver, lagoons, beef, milk, leafy greens, poultry, cheese, bananas, fish, mushrooms,
it's in a lot of everything.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Wow, Now you said that seniors were taking these B
twelve shots at one time. What are the particular health
risks or health factors that would show up if you
heard deficient INTA B.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
The most common one, which the medical profession seems to
grossly misunderstand, would be irregular heart beats. That's the easiest
one to fix, and neuropathy because those are associated with
a B vitamin deficiency, and so when you get enough
B vitamins, the irregular heart beats go away, and the

(26:19):
neuropathy also helps the go away.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Really, I mean I've run into people that have neuropathy
due to diabetes and things like that.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
That diabetes is sugar issue, and sugar in nature is
high in B vitamins, and so people who are diabetic
who can't process sugar are going to have a B
vitamin problem.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Interesting, now, did we did we mention heart disease is
one of the ailments that would be affected. I mean,
you said irregular heart beats. Is there anything more about
the heart that would be affected by vitamin Well?

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, heart disease is a byproduct of a deficiency in
B vitamins. As a byproduct of eating too much sugar.
So sugar is the cause of heart disease and the
effect is deficiency in B vitamins.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Now, one of the vitamins that got a lot of
attention back about I don't know, forty or fifty years
ago was vitamin C. What is all the hoopla around
vitamin C.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
The hoopla is widely misinformation in understanding what the C,
what is called vitamin C versus what actually vitamin C
is and what its function is. Vitamin C is a
complex and not simply what they call the scorbic acid.
And yet the government grades vitamin C based upon the
ascorbic acid concentration and ignores the rest of the vitamin complex.

(27:42):
There's a copper based enzyme, there's vitamin P, vitamin J,
vitamin K, there's the escorbage and bioflavonoid complexes. And it's
not just a scorbic acid, but there's the whole group
of ascorbic compounds. But the scorbic acid itself has six carbons,
eight hydrogens, and six oxygens. And that's just a simple

(28:03):
chemical that you know, anybody can make in a chemistry
lab and package it up and sell it as vitamin
C in our country. But vitamin C is a factor
of It's a complex that has a copper based enzyme
that gives it function and it's not just simply a
scorbic acid.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Interesting, Okay, Well that brings us up to the next
letter in alphabet, which is D. What is vitamin D
and what's important about it?

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Well, vitamin D is a hormone precursor. Vitamin primarily is
to support healthy bone production. And the sun concern is
due to avoiding the sun and using sunscreen and sun
block to stop production of vitamin D and the resulting
bone to mineralization and lack of calcium for strong bones

(28:54):
is what results. And so since they've given us the
fear that you shouldn't go out into the and that
you should block the sun using sunscreens and sun blocks,
people have become vitamin D deficient. So now they have
an artificial chemical B vitamin I'm sorry, D vitamin that
they say that everybody needs to take. And it's not

(29:15):
just the whole complex, it's specifically vitamin D three. And
my question to all the people out there that are
saying that you should just need the D three, what
happened to D one and D two.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Now it's you mentioned the other with the vitamin C.
You talked about vitamin P vitamin K, but I've never
seen those vitamins on the shelf.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
No, because the researchers and the manufacturers don't understand that
they exist because that wasn't widely published in the research,
so they don't even know about it. But vitamin P
is the vitamin that helps maintain capillary integrity. So people
who have a tendency to bruise easily have a vitamin

(30:03):
P deficiency. All the elderly that have bruises up and
down the backs of their arms because they bump into
things and they get minor hemorrhage below the surface of
the skin, that's a vitamin P deficiency. They had enough
vitamin P in the right concentrations, then they wouldn't bruise.
But that's just that's another symptom of old age and

(30:25):
deficiencies and what the body needs to maintain itself.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Wow. So the next letter we have in the alphabet
is E. What is vitamin E. I've heard a lot
about that over the years.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Well, vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin. It's an antioxidant.
To get rid of the free radicals and its supports
oxygen used by the heart, and so vitamin E is
vital for skin health, Vitamin E is vital for heart
health and the oxygenation within the heart.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
So what are the free radicals you mentioned free radicals?
What are those and what do they do? Well?

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Free radicals have to do with a hydrogen atom that
is missing an electron, and so what that ends up
doing is that creates what's known as a scavenger that's
running around to try to find an extra electron to
make it self stable. So what free radicals do because
they're looking to steal an electron, is that they will

(31:21):
go around and they will scavenge up extra electrons from
other vitamins and cause them to create problems. And when
you have too many free radicals circulating around, it alters
cell function and causes cell damage and eventually could lead
to cell mutation.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
So if you're taking that crap vitamin E they're supposed
to help with free radicals, is it actually exacerbating the problem.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Potentially? It just depends upon does it have the active
ingredients that's going to act as an anoxidant or is
it a chemical that ends up having no function at all.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now are there? I mean, we talked about some of
the vitamins that people don't really know about, but what
about taking too many vitamins?

Speaker 3 (32:08):
You can if they're synthetic and made from chemical crap.
You can't typically overdose in a whole food based supplement
because it's made from food and your body's going to
take what it needs and it's going to discard what
it doesn't need. But when you're putting artificial chemical substrates
into the body, the body may not know how to metabolize,
it may not know how to excrete it, so it

(32:29):
ends up clogging the system and creating problems in normal pathways.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Now, a lot of people are on medication, So what
effect do the medications people are taking have on the vitamins.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Most medications will deplete the vitamins in the body over time,
which is why you want to help somebody such as myself,
to help you monitor that so that we can see
if the medication that you're taking is leading to a
deficiency in vital ingredients that your body needs.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Does your ability to process all these nutrients actually decline
and deteriorate as you age.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Well, they do if you don't maintain normal function and
nutrition and the effects is old age. So as you
find yourself getting old, just know you have nutritional deficiencies
and if you choose to put the proper ingredients into
your body, then you can slow down the aging process.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Now, what about things like emotional problems like anxiety, depression,
things that would affect you your mental health? How are
those affected by vitamins?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Well, they can be the key in a person who
is deficient in some are all which is what leads
to the disease to begin with. And so somebody who
has anxiety or depression, I know they have nutritional deficiencies
and for depression it could just simply be the whole
food be vitamins.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Really wow. So if you already have a health issue,
I mean you mentioned high blood pressure and we talked
about heart disease a little bit. Are there different vitamin
requirements for somebody that has a health issue.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Absolutely, you will need some specific to your condition and
will need more as a result of the deficiency disease
that has resulted in your condition. So all health conditions
are nutritional deficiency diseases, and so there are different vitamin
requirements for somebody that let's say has heart disease versus

(34:29):
somebody that says, let's say has diabetes. And in a
lot of people they have both. So you're going to
have to support.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Both, right, And I remember, I think it was last
week we were talking about vegetarians and vegans. Are the
requirements that they have for vitamins different than say somebody
who's omnivorous or a carnivore.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Absolutely is. They avoid the major source of these necessary
vitamins from eating meats, et cetera. You know, we mentioned
earlier that you get a lot of vitamins in eating eggs,
and so if a vegetarian or a vegan wouldn't even
consider eating an egg, well, then they're potentially missing the

(35:13):
food source. So if you're going to be a healthy
vegetarian or a vegan, you have to do a lot
of research to find out what are the proper ingredients,
not just what are the popular ingredients, but what are
the proper ingredients for making sure that you're getting the
full spectrum of what your body needs to maintain itself.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah. I know, in the world of supplements, you'll see
things that have sometimes even if they're whole food, they
may have animal products in the supplements. Is that something
that would augment that need?

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Well, let's ask this question mark, because I have this
conversation with vegetarians and vegans all the time. What species
are human beings?

Speaker 1 (35:58):
What mammals?

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Right, So we're all animals. Would you agree, okay, we're
different from plants.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Would you agree?

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Would you think that plants have different requirements from animals? Yes, okay.
So in order to get all the necessary required essential
amino acids, you're going to need to get them from
an animal source. We talked about the essential amino acid methigning.
If you're not getting methionine, which the only viable reason,

(36:31):
the only viable source to get methionine in to the
body is through an animal based product. If you're eating
pure vegetarian or pure veganism, where you have absolutely none
of that kind of ingredient in your body in your diet,
then you're going to develop a deficiency in the body

(36:51):
and that's going to lead to other problems. So I've
never ever met a healthy vegan or vegetarian because they
have certain deficiencies because the vegetarian vegan lifestyle doesn't fill
in all the holes that the body needs in order
to be healthy.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Interesting, Well, we need to take a short commercial break
to hear from our general sponsor, the Alternative Healthnecare Network
dot com. When we get back, I'm going to close
out today's show with some more questions about vitamins and
the differences between synthetic vitamins and whole food vitamins and
what you need to do to improve your own health.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Absolutely, but listen to this commercial from your general sponsor
and please come back after the break.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
You bry listening to the Alternative Healthcare Network.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
If you're currently suffering from any health concern and you're
not getting the results you're looking for, please feel free
to call me directly at area code eight four five
five six one two two two five again eight four
five five six one two two two five, or you
can email me directly at doc gric at spineboy dot com.
That's Doc Riick at spine BOYD and I look forward

(38:01):
to serving your health care needs naturally.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
So we're listening to the Alternative Healthcare Network.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
So we're talking about vitamins today, and I wanted to
get some more depth about some of the problems that
you're seeing now. Do synthetic vitamins have fillers and additives
in them. Are there ways in which they're not just
that they're chemical isolates, but there's actually other things going

(38:28):
on with them.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Oh, absolutely they do, and it's because they need something
in order to hold them together and give the illusion
of function. And so basically, because they're synthetic, they are
completely refined in process, so they're going to need other
fillers and additives to give them the form to appear functional.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
So with that, I mean one of the things we
talk about with medications is that every medication has side effects.
So if you're taking these vitamins, these synthetic vitamins, are
there side effects that would be associated with them?

Speaker 3 (39:06):
There very well could be. When you consume a synthetic
chemical ingredient, the body must first try to recognize it,
then understand what to do with it and how to
process it, and the outcome of that is usually some
negative consequential effect, and that's what's called the side effect.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
And I mean with a medication, a lot of times
the side effects are pretty quick, but I would think
that it might be the case. Correct me if I'm wrong,
that the side effects from taking these synthetic vitamins might
accrue over a long period of time.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
That's exactly correct. So it could happen immediately if your
body has some kind of sensitivity to it, and that
would promote an allergy response, but it could be a
cumulative response over time that ultimately leads to person having issues,
you know, slowly over time.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah, I mean, so you wouldn't even know that you're
creating a situation where you might have a problem in
the long.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Run, right, because if you get a chemical response that
gives you a little euphoric response as a result of
the chemicals, then you might think that, oh, I love
taking these because it gives me this little euphoric response,
when in reality, what it's doing is depleting you and
it's eventually going to lose its effects. And then, you know,

(40:23):
like with a drug, if you don't get the same
effect with the lower dose, then you're going to want
to increase the dose in an effort to get back
to that same effect, and that just creates more problems
over time.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
So, as I understand what you're saying, that part of
what happens with these synthetic vitamins is that you may
start to create nutrient in balances in the body as
your body tries to I think you said first it
has to recognize it and then figure out how to
actually deal with it.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Right, So what's going to happen is if you put
too much of one component in if the body needs
it in a certain ratio in order to process that component,
and you have a high concentration of just one aspect
of the whole food concentrate, then in order to process
that high concentrate, you're going to have to lose the
other components. So when one takes a high concentration of

(41:13):
ascorbic acid thinking that it's vitamin C, the other components
of the vitamin C that are missing from the ascorbic
acid component have to be activated, and you end up
depleting those in an effort to process the high concentrations
of a scorbic acid.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
So over time, you're going to start to feel the
lack of the things that these vitamins would.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Right, because what you're doing is you're unknowingly depleting your
body of the other cofactors and the other elements that
give the nature made vitamin function.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
I mean, the problem is is that you're not going
to necessarily feel this in a very obvious way.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Right, just like most people don't understan and that heart
disease is a B vitamin problem.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Right, So you're sitting there living with it.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
So you're living with it until it becomes full blown disease.
The doctors tell you that you have this full blown
disease in this aspect, and you don't even recognize nor
would they ever recognize the fact that you could have
prevented all of this by just eating whole food concentrates
that have all the vitamins and trades, minerals and elements,
et cetera, enzymes that the body needs in order to

(42:27):
be healthy in home.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
So how can you test whether or not you're having
this deficiency or if you're getting what you need out
of the vitamins you're taking.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Well, you come into my office and we actually test
you for whatever it is that you're taking, and if
you have a deficiency or a weakness associated with that
particular vitamin ingredient, then we will find a suitable substitute
to help fill in the holes within your diet that's
ultimately leading to you to have health problems.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Now, another thing that I want to sort of touch
base with you on is you've talked a lot about
the fact that the body has filters, has internal filters,
and it has surface filters. The main filter that we
have in the bodies of the kidneys and the liver.
Do these synthetic vitamins have an effect on those.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Organs, Yes, it's a negative effect because it ends up
clogging those organs and how they metabolize things and how
they excrete things, and so.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
You may.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Develop, you know, gallstones, you may develop kidney stones, you
may develop, you know, just low functioning and inability to
repair which leads to chronic kidney disease or chronic liver disease.
And all of these things couldn't be going on, and
it may be a byproduct of you taking your synthetic

(43:51):
supplements and have been taking them for a long time,
because your body's going to try to find a way
to sell the problem, and some of the ways that
it solves the problem is by producing disease.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
So, if you're taking whole food vitamins, what are the
things that you want to have as a strong immune system.
Can that help support and help restore an immune system
that's been damaged.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Absolutely, And one of the things that we help people
do is rebuild their immune system through good, high quality
whole food supplements. And you may be taking, you know,
the vitamin supplements, but you may also be taking the
immune building supplements and the immune prevention supplements. It just
depends on what your personal situation is.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
So the supplements that you're providing their vitamins is a
category of the supplements that you might be providing, But
then there are other things that also do other things
to augment people's health.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Well, yeah, so when you're taking a whole food supplement,
it's got all the vital ingredients, the actors, the minerals,
the trace elements, the enzymes necessary to promote normal function.
And without all the ingredients then it doesn't have any function.

(45:14):
So when you're taking in synthetic chemical substrates, you're just
putting you're creating expensive urine because you're having a chemistry
experiment going on inside of you to where you don't
get any actual value out of it. You actually create
stress within the body and deplete the body of its
normal resources.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
So would seem to me that there's a lot of
research that has gone into the various forms of supplements
that are being prescribed. I guess you couldn't call it prescribing,
but that you're recommending for people to use to improve
their health depending on what their health condition is. So
a lot of these things, these health problems, the nutritional

(45:56):
deficiency might not be vitamins, but it might be something else.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
Or the nutritional deficiency could be exploited because of the
artificial vitamins that you're taking.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
So what about mental health and mental clarity? Do these
vitamin supplements, the whole food vitamin supplements help with that?

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Well, I have specific supplements that help to help people
that have, you know, any mental or emotional imbalances. We
have specific supplements that help to support the body to recover.
And when you have a mental emotional imbalance, it's typically
corrupt thinking based upon deficiency in the food that you

(46:39):
need in order to have proper thinking. And so when
you replenish the body with proper ingredients to help support
normal brain function, then you don't have you don't develop
the conditions that you know you're being labeled with that
require you to take destructive lifetime medicaid to just try

(47:01):
to get somebody to balance their mood.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Yeah, I mean, it's one of the things that there's
a lot of research on is what's going on with
mental health and what are the components that lead to it.
And we've seen such an increase. I don't know if
it's just the labeling that's changed, but it seems like
there's been a lot of increase in things like autism
and tension deficit disorder. And I wonder, as we live

(47:28):
in an increasingly more polluted world with a lot of
these things that have decayed, not only the food sources,
but the air quality and water quality, if these are
things that we're facing generally that we need to be
able to address. And part of what this conversation is
about is how do you address these things with the

(47:50):
kinds of supplements that you're using. One of the areas
of supplementation would have to be in the vitamins.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Well, yeah, and we want to change the word vitamin
to whole food concentrates because vitamins are incomplete and whole
food concentrates are complete. And what we need to understand is,
and we maybe can get into this in a show
at some point, but the increases of autism and hyperactivity

(48:17):
and all of that, all of that has to do
with changes that we made back in the mid nineteen
eighties to the vaccine schedule and the bastardization, the true
bastardization of our food. And when a child doesn't have
the proper ingredients to maintain a normal functioning nervous system,

(48:37):
and when you're putting in adjuvants that are irritants to
the nervous system, then the adjuvants from the vaccinations and
the deficiencies in the quality of food cause a brain
to malfunction, and you don't have the ability to keep
your attention, you don't have the ability to stay calm.

(48:58):
You get you know, autism, you get neurodivergent symptoms, you
get all sorts of conditions that go on that are
neurological problems as a result to putting the toxic chemicals
from the vaccines into the body that are known neurotoxins,
and then not giving the person enough of the right
ingredients to have their brain function properly. And so all

(49:21):
of that is actually not that difficult to solve, but
the public is ignorant and misinformed into thinking that what's
being done to them and to their children is going
to help them to become healthier, when in fact it's
actually making all of them sicker.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
But you're saying that in addition to that, that it's
possible to actually restore what is missing out of the
diet for these children, Right.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
I restore people with mental health issues all the time,
and every time it becomes it comes down to the
fact that their brain is lacking specific nutrition, and we
give them the specific nutrition, and their mood and their
affect and everything about their dysfunction magically goes away. And
it's not using drugs, it's not using pharmaceuticals, it's not

(50:14):
using any of that. But every health problem that we
have is the nutritional deficiency disease, and when you feed
the body what it needs, the problem goes away. And
it really is that simple. But there's so much that
goes against that in our society, and people are brainwashed

(50:34):
into thinking that taking toxic chemicals known to have harmful
side effects is their way out of their health issue,
when in fact, the deficiency is what created their health
issue to begin with, and the medication is going to
enhance and block their awareness of their deficiency.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Well, it sounds like you're talking about, just in the
broadest sense, is balancing out what's going on with a
person overall. It's not just their health, but we're talking
about the nutritional health that they have, so that there's
a balance that they have everything that they need to
restore their health to its optimal level. And you're just

(51:14):
finding out what's not optimal and then let's enhance that
and if there's something that excess, can you take that away?

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Right, So what happens in medicine is they look at
your symptom and they do something to suppress it using
a toxic chemical. You come into my office and we
find that, yes, you have a deficiency, and so what
are we going to do to feed the deficiency so
that the deficiency goes away and then harmony is restored.
So one is suppressing your body's ability to express its deficiency,

(51:46):
and my office is filling in the deficiency and eliminating
the problem altogether. Instead of making you a lifetime patient
taking the same medication for the rest of your life,
whether it's diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
autoimmune disease, thyroid issues, obesity issues, whatever the case happens

(52:07):
to be, they want to put you on a chemical
that's going to enhance your problem, but it's going to
block your ability to be aware that you have your
problem and that's just criminal. But that's just my humble opinion.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
That's just your opinion. I get it, But I mean,
I think one of the things you're able to do
is in the process of seeing somebody is actually identify
what it is that where a problem is beginning or
where the problem is manifested, and why and why it's there.
But once you understand that, you can sit there and

(52:41):
feed them.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
Yeah, we address the why and what goes away, and
you address the why by feeding the body what it's
missing that's manifesting in the outcome that they don't want anyway.
And so when you feed the body, the body gets
what it needs. The body gets back into balance and
harmony because it's not missing anything, so it can stabilize.
And once it's stabilize, you don't have any disease.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
So if somebody wants to stabilize their health and get
in the ingredients that they need and would like the
answers to their particular questions, what are the best ways
to contact you and get those answers directly?

Speaker 3 (53:17):
You should call me directly on my cell phone which
is area code eight four five five six one two
two two five again eight four five five six one
two two two five. Uh, you can text that number,
but it's going to take a while for me to
get back to you, sometimes more than a week. It's
just I don't really care for or pay attention to texting.

(53:39):
You can email me, which I checked multiple times a
day every day. That's a more efficient way to get
a response if you're into the texting kind of thing,
or you can stop into the office, but all of
that is probably going to start with reaching out to
me through my phone. So feel free to call me
directly at eight four five five six one two two.

(54:00):
I want to talk to you. I want to help
you solve your problem, and I would look forward to
doing that. So I want to thank you for tuning
in this week. I want you to take the advice
that we talked about for what vitamins are and how
you need to circumvent that in such a way that
you're feeding your body the right way. I'm gonna ask

(54:22):
you to tune back in next week, same health time,
same health station. This is doctor Richard on tune from
Advanced Alternative Medicine Center, saying I look forward to supporting
you when you're health medicine.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
My physician, he said, you're definitely ill. That's the nurse
I've seen worse of the doctor just gave me a pill.
Take one of dots three times today. You don't ever
stop until you're dirty, dead, or almost better.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
Keep up.
