There are so many misconceptions about synthetic vitamins. The FDA likes to claim there is no difference between the synthetic vitamins they spray on "enriched foods" and the vitamin complexes found in our natural food sources.

This is complete bunk.

For decades now we've seen synthetic, isolated vitamins packaged into "take-one-a-day" vitamin supplements. It's absolutely HUGE business, because most of us can detect that our processed food diets are lacking in essential nutrition.

The problem is, we aren't solving the problem taking isolated synthetic vitamins; indeed you can even have vitamin toxicity if you aren't careful with these processed, "enriched" vitamin sources.

This goes to the heart of what we are all about at Forbidden Doctor. Only nutrition from whole foods or supplements derived from whole food concentrates can possibly replace or augment our nutritional profiles. Dr. Jack and Mary take us into the science of the vitamin complex and what it means to our health. Don't miss this videocast!

The expert "literature" on diet and nutrition in this country is all over the place. This week, Dr. Jack and Mary attempt to simplify things by deflating several myths of a vegan or vegetarian diet. Turns out all of the back and forth over the years on recommendations related to cholesterol, fat and nutrition have created schizophrenia in our diets and the way we think about food! This is especially true of meat-free or animal by-product-free diets, but the problem is, there is real danger of being malnourished if you don't eat meat.

While we respect the reasons why people are interested in pursuing vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, there are some critical things you must understand if you are going to risk the hit to your nourishment that these lifestyles entail.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary tackle a growing health problem for more and more Americans. It's actually problems, because our medical system's drug-addled approach has created numerous, chronic conditions that are slowly killing their patients.

We're talking about Heartburn.

In some ways, our body's first warning that we are probably eating garbage, heartburn has been a large-scale health problem for as long as we've had industrialized food production. Not to say there weren't serious reflux problems more than 100 years ago, but it wasn't impacting nearly everyone 100 years ago the way it seems to today.

But if you think the solution is to suppress acid production in your stomach, you need to listen to this very serious correction in your thinking.

People are taking drugs meant to be taken for weeks to an address isolated event, and they are taking them for their entire adult lives. Are you one of them?

This is our most important podcast to date! With a very special announcement for an incredible new, free service, Dr. Jack and Mary dive into the science of heart health.

The problem with the modern day state of things (believe it or not, nearly 50 years after LBJ's tragic, fatal heart attack) is that doctors try to measure for existing damage. If your heart does not contain the scarring associated with prior heart attacks, EKG's will not detect or report any problems; even in a severely unhealthy heart!

With everything else in modern medicine, common sense takes a back seat to radical treatments of heart ailments, even as decades of research has gone unchallenged about the critical role nutrition plays in heart health.

The heart cells are replaced every 30 days. What you eat matters, and will inform the health of your heart into the future. Because the heart is the first to receive nutrients in the bloodstream, you can begin to nourish your heart in minutes, if you are eating the right foods, or taking the right concentrated whole food supplements.

Stay tuned to hear about the re-emergence of fabulous medical technology that you can now take advantage of, free of charge (in Utah, at least)!
