Welcome to Herbal Wise Supplements, where our team continuously seeks out only the highest quality natural, organic and herbal supplements for the highest quality nutrition and health support. Our site is presented in four categories: Healthy Brain Supplements, Healthy Heart Supplements, Healthy Joint Supplements and Healthy Stress Supplements. My name is Roger and this particular site, and our subsequent Herbal Wise Team, was inspired out of my need to find good health. You see, I was getting very ill twice a year, like clockwork! In the winters I would get the flu and in the late summer I would get a cold that dropped into my lungs creating a lung infection. This went on annually, for over a decade. These illnesses would go away and come back, sometimes lasting for months. It got so bad that I actually started to feel I was ill year around! Obviously, I became very depressed with low energy and little zest for life. Fortunately for me, I have several doctors in my family who are not only in medicine, but in kinesiology, physiotherapy and pharmacology as well.

Look for Health Smart Tips from our Multi-Disciplinary Team of Family Member Doctors on each Category Page!

With their great tips and a lot of personal experimentation, I proceeded to investigate my path to wellness. Having determined that my bad eating habits were greatly contributing to my lessened immune system due to poor nutrition, I began experimenting with different food supplements that would insure I was getting the proper amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals for a high standard of health.

In this site, I share some of the key discoveries, such as krill oil, coenzyme Q10 and glucosamine chondroitin, that have kept me well, without even a sniffle, for the past four years! While these insights and products are not offered as medicine or a cure all for any diseases, remember, “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. If you do not take action and try, you’ll never know what works specifically for you!

Take a look at what trends we and other health smart people are following today.

Emerging Paradigm: Americans Returning To Medicinal Roots
According to World Health Organization statistics, 80% of the population in Asia and Africa rely upon natural medicine, a.k.a. traditional medicine, for primary healthcare needs. European countries, responsible for cutting-edge research on herbal organic and natural supplements, routinely prescribe traditional medicine. After a long hiatus, Americans demonstrate an emerging paradigm of returning to medicinal roots.

Power To People

The balance of power is churning on behalf of Americans, weary of "Big Pharma"(pharmaceutical companies) regulating their healthcare. In addition, a preponderance of conventional doctors prescribes synthetic medications recommended by pharmaceutical representatives. One by one, Americans are claiming their right to act as partners in their personal health needs.
Modern collective consciousness is attaining wisdom by researching ancient ways, when natural substances were exclusively used for medicinal purposes. They are studying German traditional practices, where herbal organic and natural supplements are routinely prescribed vs. synthetic chemical drugs that treat the symptom, not the cause.
Big Pharma is rooted in traditional medicine. But, by isolating a component of the plant or herb, they "unknowingly" remove helpers, which nature designed to work in concert. Our bodies do not recognize chemical, synthetic drugs. Consequences manifest as undesirable side-effects; foreign additives may create toxic build up; the liver gets overloaded, in attempts to metabolize intrusive, unfamiliar materials.

Holistic Power

Holistic power - herbal organic and natural supplements - concerns itself with treating the body as a whole, as opposed to patching up the "sick" body system. On the other hand, conventional medicines hone in on the particular body system that is symptomatic at the time of treatment. A prime example is the statin drug, i.e. Zocor or Lipitor. In their zeal to lower cholesterol, it appears medical doctors prescribe statins as hastily as an RX can be ripped from their prescription pad. Statins are lethal! A few among many horrendous side-effects are: neuromuscular degeneration, loss of muscle mass and serious liver and/or kidney damage. With long-term use, statin troubles exacerbate; patients forfeit muscular control, cognitive function declines to culminate in the "statin shuffle". (Note: Statin shuffle presents as unexplained heel pain and/or wobbling gait due to loss of motor function.)

In the quest to line greedy pockets, Big Pharma has neglected their duty to inform physicians and/or patients that statins deplete the body's reserve of CO Q10. The natural supplement, coenzyme Q10 must be taken concurrently. If not supplemented, memory loss frequently occurs to mimic Alzheimer's. A plethora of herbal organic and natural supplements is proven to lower cholesterol, such as: krill oil, fish oil, turmeric, red yeast rice and saffron.

Nature's Power

Health smart supplements for health smart people harness nature's power. All body systems are in a continuous mode of growing, tearing down and building up. The body has a miraculous ability to heal itself if provided correct, natural nutrients.
Nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins and harmful lifestyle choices affect the body on a cellular level. Unless paucities are adjusted, immune systems are compromised, causing us to experience chronic to life-threatening diseases.
In cases of chronic dis-ease, we can often restore the body's natural balance, by flooding it with appropriate herbal organic and natural supplements. Nature's power operates on a cellular level to assist the body's replacement of rogue cells. Nature's therapeutics rarely, if ever, exhibit side-effects that leave us drugged and make us sicker, in the manner we've come to expect from pharmaceutical drugs.

Power Of Herbal Organic And Natural Supplements

Conventional medicine's stock answer about herbal organic and natural supplements - there is no scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. Think about it: before chain pharmacies were on every corner, on almost every street, in the US, humans hunted, scrounged and gathered plants, berries, herbs, botanicals, tree bark and foliage for medicinal purposes. Where was the "scientific" evidence to support ancient wisdom?
Or, take into account the majority of China; people never strayed from ancestor wisdom. As Beinfeld and Korngold (co-authors, "Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine") observed, "Chinese children are practically born knowing".
How Do I Learn More About Herbal Organic and Natural Supplements?
The place to begin anything new is where you are now. Take it slowly enough that you won't
get discouraged and quit. Search the web for information and get a couple of authoritative books about herbal organic and natural supplements that point out rare side-effects. If your budget permits, seek advice from a holistic practitioner, such as a naturopath, osteopath or chiropractor.
