The Nutritional Essentials – Nutritional Deficiencies

From the Pen of
Dr. Royal Lee
(1895-1967) Inventor, Scientist, Genius, Founder of Standard Process, Inc.

“One of the biggest tragedies of human civilization is the
precedence of chemical therapy over nutrition. It is the
substitution of artificial therapy over natural, of poisons
over food, in which we are feeding people poisons trying to correct the reactions of starvation.”

Where is my vitality?
Why do I ache all over?
Why am I tired even after I
have had “plenty” of sleep?

Like millions of Americans – You may be experiencing the signs of nutritional deficiency.

Food is the fuel that energizes our body for work, play and healing. It is the source of our vitality and contains all substances necessary for the regulation of all our bodily processes.

Human life has advanced for
eons using nothing more than
natural foods from plants and
animals, along with freshwater
and clear air.

But our environment has become very polluted. Most people live far removed from farms and have no gardens. Food is processed to allow for long-distance transportation and a long shelf-life, not nutritional content.

Synthetic compounds are used to increase crop yields, to add flavor, and to preserve food. Then we use synthetic vitamins and medications to treat
deficiency diseases caused by depletion of life-giving nutrients. What a vicious cycle!

What are synthetic compounds?
Synthetic – noun: something resulting from synthesis rather than occurring naturally; especially: a product (as a drug or plastic) of chemical synthesis. Merriam-Webster Online Dict.

Synthetic compounds are fake, false, artificial. They are not found in nature, they are the result of man-made alterations to nature. It seems that sooner or later most, if not all of these synthetic compounds are found to cause some type of symptom pattern or disease

Even “miracle” drugs are found to be the cause of disease, degeneration, and sometimes death – sooner or later.

People are suffering and taking medications to stop the suffering. Medications come with long lists of side effects. One of the side effects appears to be nutritional deficiency. When a person is suffering from a nutritional deficiency or the side effects of pollution of our air, water or food, wholesome food is the answer, not more synthetic compounds. Treat the cause – not the symptoms.

Only 50 years ago, baby formula was considered equal to mother’s milk. Now it is laughable to think that people actually believed that a laboratory could make something equal to or better than
Mother Nature. There are hundreds of nutrients, enzymes, co-enzymes, vitamins, and minerals in mother’s milk. Things scientists don’t even know about yet and could not “create” if they did know about them are in mother’s milk and in all-natural foods.

The point? Mother’s milk is an example of Nature’s perfection in the feeding of human babies. After we are weaned from our mother’s milk our nutrition quality goes downhill fast. “Junk” and fast “foods” don’t support health – only wholesome
foods will.

I suggest that much of our suffering, our disease, and health deterioration is due to low-quality nutritional support. We need to understand this and begin to make choices which will build our health rather than tear it down. Need Good News? We have a solution!

The solution? Whole foods and
wholefood concentrates.

How do I find out if I have
a Nutritional Deficiency?
