Nutritional Medicine
Nutritional deficiencies are rife today. Doctors are now often testing patients for Vitamin D, Iron, Folate deficiencies, amongst others.
The nutritional quality of our food is not as it used to be. This is because of farming methods lengthy storage times in particularly. It is interesting to note that recent research showed that within 24 hours of fruits and vegetables being picked in some cases they lost up to 50% of their nutritional quality. Supermarkets regularly store “fresh foods” for days, weeks, and even months, before they reach the shelves.
Poor diets, often high in sugar, leech nutrition from the body rather than building it up. A common problem today is over-feeding but under-nourishment.

” If a new drug had been found with this broad range of properties, it would have been hailed as the discovery of the century.”
