Why We Must Take Supplements
There is always a differing of opinion as to whether we need to take supplements. My 43 years in practice has demonstrated that most of those that promote the idea of not needing to supplement, promote the idea you need to take medication if symptoms appear.
Let’s take a look at REASONS WE NEED TO SUPPLEMENT:
1. The foods available are nutrient deficient and toxic contaminated.
Some want to believe we get all the nutrients we need from food. I think at one time in our history that was true.Not anymore.We no longer grow our own gardens or can buy food from natural sources unless we buy all organic.Chickens are raised in cages and the eggs are full of all of the contaminants of commercial foods. Cattle are not free ranging in most cases.Most pork, poultry, beef and dairy cattle are crowded in feed lots.Most of the meat consumed is full of antibiotics to keep infections down for faster weight gain.Our fruits and vegetables are raised with artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.They are harvested green and shipped to consumers before they mature properly for the maximum nutrient benefit.To top this off, the soils are depleted of natural nutrients and minerals.If all that were not enough, we now have GMO foods that the body has no idea how to digest and utilize.
If you grow or buy all organic meets, fruits and vegetables, you can help all of these problems but few of us can do that 100%.
2. Most people don’t eat the right foods, in the right quantities of the right quality.
Have you paid attention to what people put in their grocery carts? Junk food and pop can be at the top of the list. Do you and your family and patients get a minimum of five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit each day? Are these fruits and vegetables grown organically? Are you getting adequate fiber and essential amino acids from the meats and vegetables you consume? Are you getting the correct amount and types of fatty acids etc.?
Even if you ate as perfect as possible and mostly organic foods, how do you know you do not have genetic SNPS that causes a higher demand of certain nutrients and cofactors?
3. Research continues to link dysfunction and conditions to nutrient deficiencies
The average life span is far greater than is used to be.Most research links this to sanitation practices and reduction of acute illnesses like the plague or small pox. Now we have more chronic illnesses like arthritis, GI problems like irritable bowel syndrome, thyroid conditions, fibromyalgia, hormonal imbalances, depression and anxiety etc.
Standard medical practices continue to have good success with most acute illness but they say they do not have answers for chronic illness except symptomatic relief. Research and clinical studies show good nutrition, with dietary and specific supplementation have the best track record for improving function. Improved function reduces symptomatic expression of chronic complaints by treating causes and not just symptom suppression.
4. Environmental and Internal Toxins create a higher demand for nutrients
We are bombarded with external toxic exposure from automobiles, manufacturing, chemical pesticides, fertilizers, GMO’s,cell phones, radiation, household cleaners, cosmetics, birth control pill, vaccinations, Bisphenol A etc... The more technology we introduce for convenience the more toxicity we promote.The greater exposure to toxins, the greater the need for antioxidants, essential amino acids, trace minerals, co-factors, essential fatty acids, methyl donors, activated B’s, adrenal support, etc. Dysfunction from nutrient depletion, genetic SNPS, GMO’s, incomplete methylation etc. increases internal toxic burdens that need nutrient support.
5. The doctor of the future Edison talked about treats naturally.
Improving function can be best accomplished by implementing natural actions like nutrient supplementation, dietary intervention, exercise, detoxification and structural correction.Suppressing symptoms has been the role of drug intervention in most cases.Medicine treats symptomatic expression by drugs and surgery.Functional Health Care is designed to determine mal-function through examination, blood/hair/toxic urine challenge/saliva/MRT (Muscle Response Testing) and observation.
I have frequently referred DC to mean we are doctors of cause. All persons treating function, regardless of their degree, are doctors of cause. Evaluate any dysfunction and help the body to balance and improve function through all possible natural means may be the strongest medicine we have in today’s environment.
All of this considered is why I teamed me up with XYMOGEN/BioEnergX, which has the most modern and advanced facility possible for production of Natural Nutraceutical Nutrients and Fit Foods. For example I use LipiChol for fatty acids, MaX Adrenal for de-stress support, MaX Brain for the brain and nervous system, CheleX for heavy metal detoxification and the heavy metal homeopathic MaX remedies to support that action. I use MaX homeopathic remedies to help reduce toxic loads of chlorine, fluorine and bromine, while supplementing with MaX Iodine.

August 1, 2022 - Dr Dov Widenbaum's Passing
Dr Dov Widenbaum's Passing
August 1, 2022 Puzzle Piece
A TRIBUTE TO DR DOV WIDNEBAUM
With a saddened heart and tears in my eyes I write this Puzzle Piece to
pay tribute to one of my very good friends and an extremely great
physician.
To each I have told of Dov’s (Dovid Steven Widenbaum) passing, all have
said, “I really loved that Man”. He was a man and doctor of love and
compassion. He never quit learning and serving. It must have been 20
years or more he has been attending Brimhall Seminars and assisting for
the last 10.
We have talked into the night many times when it was past midnight in
New York. Last week he called me at 7:08 AZ time. Susy and I were
reading scriptures and I do not have my phone on at those times. When I
checked my phone for messages, it was 9 pm in AZ and 12 midnight in New
York. I did not want to call him that late in case he had gone to
bed. He left me a voice mail saying not to call him back, he was just
checking and gave us the greeting for the best in all things.
One never knows… I regret not calling him even though he said it was
not necessary. To all of you, I want you to know I love and admire you
and appreciate the time and times we have spent together. Thank you for
your friendship and association. In my 75 years and 51 of those in
practice, besides God and Family YOU are the highlight of my life. It
has been a wonderful journey serving and spending time with all of you.
Dr Dov passed away from a heart attack on July 28, 2022, at 62 years
old/young. He was very active in his Jewish religion and served the
community of Monsey, NY tirelessly as a true and dedicated physician.
He truly dedicated his life to Chiropractic and Natural Healing. He
taught health and wellness as well as Judaism.
If any of you know someone of the Jewish faith that might want to
practice in his area, please call Jason, at my office (480-964-5198) and
he will contact the family. Dr Dov will want his patients to receive
good care in his absence.
Blessings to you and yours,
Dr. John

July 19, 2021 - Cleanse or Die Prematurely
Cleanse or Die Prematurely
July 19, 2021 Puzzle Piece
Our
bodies are equipped to protect us from many kinds of toxins. Your
natural filtration is efficient; however, it’s not equipped to handle
the workload thrown at it in this modern day and age of pollution. There
are substances, like heavy metals, and environmental exposures your
body doesn’t have a method of removing. Unfortunately, these substances
are growing more commonplace and causing many illnesses, disease and
death.
It’s crucial for everyone to take steps to cleanse their body and repair
the damage of years of toxic exposure and accumulation. These toxins
are accumulative and increase damage and dis-ease of many types.
Where the Toxins and Heavy Metals Come?
Heavy metals, pesticides, defoliates and a long list of toxins are
everywhere in the ground, the water, the air and products we use every
day. There’s still paint with lead in it lining old houses and
buildings. Do a renovation on such a location and all that lead dust
gets kicked up into the air and into your lungs. Essentially, you
accumulate toxins when you eat, drink, breath and handle various
products, including pesticides. Many skincare products contain toxins
and irritants. Black mold is very dangerous following leaks in your
water system or flooding for any reason.
Most Common Heavy Metals Your Body Can Accumulate:
- Mercury
- Lead
- Copper
- Zinc
- Arsenic
- Cadmium
- Iron
- Cobalt
Please note: There’s a significant difference between organic minerals
and the heavy metal form. Mercy, lead and arsenic are common heavy metal
contaminants.
According to a publication in the NATO Science for Peace and Security
book, “atmospheric heavy metals pollution is one of the most serious
problems facing humanity and other life forms on our planet today.”
The line between who’s at greater risk and who’s at lesser risk is
thinning. You don’t have to work in a smelting or mining operation to be
contaminated. You can do something as basic as touch receipt paper from
the store, spray weed killer, pesticides, and use certain cosmetics to
accumulate toxins for a very short list.
You further accumulate heavy metals from water pipes, cookware and
jewelry in your immediate life. More comes at you from the agricultural
field, manufacturing and even pharmaceuticals. Even if you don’t
personally use pesticides on your own property, the agriculture industry
relies heavily on their use, and these contaminate the food you eat,
the air you breathe and the clothes you wear.
One report by USA Today explained that elevated levels of lead
were found in almost 2,000 water systems in the United States. Another
study found that over 3,000 communities in the U.S. have double the
amount of lead in their water as the infamous Flint drinking water.
As previously stated, cosmetics and beauty products are often
contaminated with toxins and heavy metals. These include products like
lipstick, eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, moisturizers, hair dye, and
sunscreens.
Another surprising place to find heavy metals is in your furniture,
specifically ones that have been treated with fire retardant. This
includes the seats and dashboards in your car and the mattress you sleep
on.
There are a variety of jobs that expose employees to heavy metals every
day. Employees are constantly breathing in heavy metal particles
floating through the air and absorbing them through their skin. The
professional fields at greatest risk include miners, smelters, welders,
construction workers, and battery or electronics recycling workers.
Since heavy metals, especially mercury is found in water, fish absorb
them, and you get a dose of heavy metals when you eat the fish.
According to the World Health Organization, cadmium has the most
widespread distribution of the six heavy metals and mercury the most
limited. The FDA began a Total Diet Survey program in 1965 and
originally intended to monitor pesticide levels in food, expanded to
analyze the levels of lead, zinc, cadmium, mercury, arsenic and selenium
in food in heavy metal form.
The Toll Toxins Take on Your Body
Toxins and heavy metals accumulate in your body, which effects organs
and tissue function that can create a host of health problems. Test for
the use of (Opti-Enviro Detox & Opti-Metals Detox). This includes your GI tract (Opti-GI). Most of them will give you severe gastrointestinal and nervous systems problems (Opti-Brain).
There
are many ways how toxins and heavy metals damage the human body, but
the common thread is that they interrupt enzymes and interact with DNA
in such a way that basic cellular processes shut down.
Heavy metals are shown to inhibit a wide variety of enzymes, and arsenic
poisoning manifests as a host of symptoms including seizures, brain
hemorrhages, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, anemia, muscle aches, and
hardening of the skin.
Signs of Chronic Heavy Metal Exposure:
- Skin changes
- Impaired cognitive, motor and language skills
- Nausea, lethargy, malaise
- Insomnia
- Emotional instability
According to OSHA, high mercury exposure results in permanent nervous
system and kidney damage. An increase in the incidence of lung cancer
has been observed among workers in industries that produce chromate and
manufacture pigments containing chromate. Beryllium can cause
sensitization, lung and skin disease in a significant percentage of
exposed workers.
Arsenic - Arsenic is a protoplasmic poison since it affects
primarily the sulfhydryl group of cells causing malfunctioning of cell
respiration, cell enzymes and mitosis. Arsenic compounds get methylated
by bacteria, algae, fungi and humans, which results in poisoning.
Lead - The sources of lead exposure include mainly industrial
processes, food and smoking, drinking water and domestic sources. In the
US, more than 100 to 200,000 tons of lead per year is being released in
the environment. Some is taken up by plants, fixation to soil and flow
into water bodies, hence human exposure besides what we breathe.
A plant with high lead concentration increases the production of
reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing lipid membrane damage that
ultimately leads to damage of chlorophyll and photosynthetic processes
and suppresses the overall growth of the plant. This damage carries on
into humans when we eat these plants.
Mercury - There were 3, 596 acute heavy metal poisoning cases
listed in one year as far back as 1997 recorded by the American
Association of Poison Control Centers. Major sources of mercury
pollution include anthropogenic activities such as agriculture,
municipal wastewater discharges, mining, incineration, and discharges of
industrial wastewater.
The brain remains the most serious target organ for mercury, yet it can
impair any organ and lead to malfunctioning of nerves, kidneys and
muscles. It can cause disruption to the membrane potential and interrupt
with intracellular calcium homeostasis.
Cadmium - In the US, more than 500,000 workers get exposed to
toxic cadmium each year as per The Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry.
Your body has no method of removing cadmium. In industry is used in
rechargeable batteries, for special alloys production and is present in
tobacco smoke. Humans may get exposed to this metal primarily by
inhalation and ingestion and can suffer from acute and chronic
intoxications. Cadmium can replace zinc present in metallothionein,
thereby inhibiting it from acting as a free radical scavenger within the
cell.
Chromium - Chromium occurs naturally by the burning of oil and
coal, petroleum from ferro chromate refractory material, pigment
oxidants, catalyst, chromium steel, fertilizers, oil well drilling and
metal plating tanneries. It is extensively used in industries such as
metallurgy, electroplating, production of paints and pigments, tanning,
wood preservation, chemical production and pulp and paper production.
Chromium compounds are respiratory tract irritants, resulting in airway
irritation, airway obstruction, and lung, nasal, or sinus cancer.
Iron - Many people have been exposed to elevated levels of iron
through drinking water and many take too much in their supplements. A
wide range of harmful free radicals are formed when the absorbed iron
fails to bind to the protein. This circulating unbound iron results in
corrosive effect of the gastrointestinal tract and biological fluids.
The free iron can also lead to lipid peroxidation, which results in
severe damage to mitochondria, microsomes and other cellular organelles.
Nutrients Proven to Remove Toxins and Heal Your GI Tract
The key to removing heavy metals is to chelate them. In order to convert
them from inorganic to chelated takes a potent, therapeutic blend of
the right nutrients backed by research. Chelating agents bind to heavy
metal toxin ions and convert them to a form your body knows how to
expel. Opti-GI contains the following nutrients:
Chlorella - Chlorella binds to dioxins and other environmental
toxins, repairs the body’s detoxification functions, improves the
antioxidant glutathione, and binds to heavy metals, chelating them.
Psyllium - The use of psyllium has been shown to block the
reabsorption of heavy metals back into the body once secreted into the
gut via the liver and gallbladder.
Licorice Root - Licorice root is shown to support gut, liver and immune health. In one study in the Journal of Agriculture Food Chemistry,
scientists demonstrated that licorice root helped the entire body rid
itself of toxic waste by excreting it via the kidneys (in urine) and the
liver (in bile).
Ginkgo Biloba - This herb functions as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It is commonly used to treat lead poisoning.
Pectin - Originally used to treat patients after the Chernobyl
disaster, pectin excels at entering the bloodstream and latching on to
heavy metals, thus making it possible for your body to remove both the
pectin and metals from your body.
