Supplements

Alternative medicine and health care supplements are the rage now and it seems that everyone is either buying them or selling them. Depending upon who you talk to, their product is the best. I'm not sure how I feel about them. Doctors rarely recommend them and they don't have to be approved by the FDA. On the other hand, I know many people who swear by the good health they promote.

I saw a company on the Internet, Oasis Advanced Wellness, that has many interesting alternative health care products. For example, they have a supplement called intraMAX™ that contains “organic microcomplexed minerals and over 415 daily essential nutrients". They say you need this supplement because organic minerals are essential to good health and disease prevention. According to the testimonials listed below the product, as least two people have had remarkable results with it. It also contains fulvic acid which is touted to contain elements of all living matter, but when I checked out fulvic acid in the Encyclopedia Britannica on line, all I saw was that it is an acidic organic polymer extracted from humus. It didn't say anything about it being a life-sustaining force for the ole human body.

They have another product called Poly MVA, a palladium lipoic complex, that “MAY” assist in increasing immune responses. It's also supposed to increase the charge density of DNA in the cell. Wow! When you take it, you have more energy and it supports your liver in processing harmful substances. But my favorite product is the Natural Sunscreen which not only nourishes but repairs the skin. Apparently the zinc oxide in it captures the suns rays and makes the skin produce Vitamin D.

My theory is: If it makes you feel better, take it or use it. But be sure to let your Doctor know in case there may be contraindications when taken with other prescription drugs.
