What are Whole Food Supplements?
Whole food supplements are simply those made from whole foods. A whole food is any food grown and harvested in nature, without refinement. In contrast, a food that is man-made is not a whole food because it is missing many constituents. It may also contain harmful additives. Donuts, cereal, and canned fruit are all examples of manmade foods - they are not found in nature in this processed form.
Learn to Read Labels
Reading your labels can be very deceiving. As a general rule, you should be able to recognize and name most of the ingredients on the label. Another point to consider is potency. In our culture, it is often believed that if a little is good, then more is better and we try megadoses. When choosing a supplement, quality is far more important than quantity. Often, a small amount of a particular vitamin in a whole food form is far more effective in the human body than a large dose of a synthetic vitamin. This is because the synthetic vitamin is just a fraction of the whole and is missing important parts that the body needs.
We use whole food supplements from Standard Process. We assess your individual needs based on a "Symptom Survey" and various tests.
Whole Food Supplements Every Medicine Cabinet Should Contain
* CatalynR - The Whole Food multivitamin we use in our office from Standard Process.
* Tuna Omega-3 OilR - The Whole Food source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids that we use in our office from Standard Process. Most Americans have diets very deficient in this essential nutrient.
* Calcium LactateR - A vegetarian source of absorbable calcium from Standard Process. Calcium lactate is the best source of calcium and is absorbed into the cells of the human body in just one coversion. In contrast, calcium carbonate and coral calcium must go through 10-12 conversions before being able to be used by the body, making these sources less available for absorption.*
* DrenaminR - An adrenal gland supporting whole food supplement. Do you suffer from these symptoms?....lethargy, fatigue, sugar/salt cravings, allergies, poor memory, brain fog, crave sugar in the afternoons, less productivity, feeling overwhelmed by all that needs to be done. If this sounds like you, you may have adrenal exhaustion. Adrenal fatigue symptoms are occurring in epidemic proportions. Most patients in our office and throughout America have several of these symptoms. Why? It has to do with our fast-paced, fast-food, processed food, high stress, low rest lifestyle. Our adrenals are just overworked and underfed. Drenamin plus whole food B Vitamins are a terrific protocol for those who suffer from adrenal fatigue.*
God’s Pharmacy
God left us great clues as to what foods help what part of our body
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye. Science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. 
A tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food. 
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is
this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries. 
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materialsfrom all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
