4. Take Megavitamins.

The use of massive amounts of vitamins and minerals is very unnatural - especially the popular and cheap synthetic and isolated "vitamins" created in chemcial plants and widely sold in discount retail stores. The human body was not designed to consume such artificial products, escpecially in such excessive amounts. Nature prevents us from consuming 20,000 mg of vitamin C in one day because it is impossible to consume three hundred oranges (a natural source of vitamin C) in one day. Even if you could, it would produce one major colon cleanse! Vitamins and minerals that have not been incorporated into an organic matrix - a natural food form containing all necessary cofactors - may actually be very harmful to the body. It is better to supplement healthy food and beverage choices with living food supplements known as homeostatic nutrients rich in vitamins and minerals. This is a balanced form the body can absorb and utilize.
