Does Nutritional Supplement Really Nourish Us?

In the previous two posts, we discussed how Western medicine and medicinal herbs can harm our body. Without care, nutritional supplement can have the same harmful effects.

Artificial supplements are not food but more like Western drugs. Supplements made from foods are concentrated food. They should be treated as medicinal herbs because of their strong effects. We cannot process concentrated food supplements in the same way as we do natural foods. We cannot take them for long periods without side effects.

How Herbs Can Poison Our Body

Our ancestors separated medicinal herbs from food. In early human history, people sought foods to ease their hunger, and only gradually found foods that nourished them and cured illnesses, as well as foods that caused problems. They divided foods into two groups: those that nourish and are for daily consumption; and those that we now call medicinal herbs, which have strong effects and should not be consumed frequently or without cause.
