I don’t mind telling you that I have been obsessed with Balance of Nature supplements since I have been forced to listen to numerous replays of TV ads during one of my favorite shows. I hear myself yelling things like. "have you no shame?" at the TV, but the ads just keep coming.
Spoiler alert: These snake oil salesmen will deduct $90 – $100 from your credit card every month for a whole lot of nothingness in a capsule. You will be much better off nutritionally and financially, buying organic fruits and vegetables yourself.
I googled "balance of nature" and looked at the list of websites that popped up. The first one was called healthy expert reviews.com. The title at the top of the page read "good value or a scam?" When you open the website, it pushes you to buy another equally scammy product similar to balance of nature.
The second one was called smart supplement reviews.com. This is a bogus website pushing another ridiculous product called "sustenance – fruits and greens".
The third website I looked into was called total health reports.com. This looks like someone who was paid to write a one-page blog about how wonderful Balance of Nature is... even though I had googled "is balance of nature a scam?".
I also googled the Balance of Nature website and got only large pictures of the front of the label. Noticeably missing was any information about what is in these capsules.
I then calm down and get about the business of advising you on how to get all of those nutrients and fiber that you were hoping to get from Balance of Nature. There is a short video about the many benefits of fiber that I discuss, which can be found here.
By the way, the paperback version of my new memoir called "Helpers Anonymous" has just come out. I am offering a copy of my memoir free of charge until July 24th. For the next 10 days you can get either a Kindle version or a paperback version sent to you. You can email me on my website contact page (healing outside the box) and send either your email or your address-if you prefer the paperback-and I will send it to you. You can read the blurb on Amazon.com. If you wish to also leave a rating and review, that would be terrific!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
