Why You Must Supplement- Part 2
The key points of Dr. Wallach’s argument are:
1. There are 90 nutrients essential to human health.
2. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients can lead to or cause, on average ten diseases. For example, a deficiency in copper can lead to premature gray hair, aneurism and stroke.
3. The 90 essential nutrients fall into four broad categories: amino acids; fatty acids; vitamins; and minerals.
4. If you eat a disciplined, well rounded diet you can get all the amino acids, fatty acids and vitamins you need.
5. It is practically impossible to get all of the minerals you need regardless of what kind or what quantity of food you eat.
6. Why is this so? Human beings ideally get minerals by eating foods such as vegetables, fruits and grains. However, such foods are grown in soils which are massively deficient in minerals, a fact which is documented by the findings reported at the 1993 World Eco Summit in Rio De Janeiro.
7. Minerals serve as catalysts for the body’s ability to use amino acids, fatty acids and vitamins. Therefore, without the necessary mineral co-factors it is unlikely that we are getting the maximum benefit from these nutrients.
Conclusion: You must take mineral supplements to achieve optimal sustainable health!

Your article was interesting. I just have one suggestion, that you maybe suggest a type of supplement to take that would give you the daily requirements needed. I have diabetes and the last thing I want is to have to worry about am I taking the supplement in addition to watching everything I have to eat. Outside of that good job and I look forward to your next article.
Linda,
There are several good multivitamins that I recommend for all people and ones that have very good quality ingredients and a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals. All of these would be fine for anyone and should be okay for someone with diabetes- although checking with your doctor if you have a previous condition is your discretion.
Here are a few that I have reviewed and recommend to people as basic mutlivitamin- multimineral
New Chapter Every Man and Every Woman
Nutrilite Daily Multivitamin/Multimineral
Nature’s Sunshine (they have a couple different multi-vitamin, multi-mineral)
Purity Products Perfect Multi
Metagenics Multigenics
The best bang for your buck is Nutrilite Daily (about $0.12 a day)
the best quality is Metagenics
the other three are great as well
Each of these companies also have natural plant and mineral based supplements designed to help regulate blood sugar as well.
Feel free to shoot me an email if I can assist you in this any further!
