It often feels unnatural to me too,to be popping all those supplements,and every so often I skip a day of supps and my body seems to be glad of the break.
I wonder wonder wonder about it too.
But still desperate to try things to get healthy...
also when you read about soil mineral levels being so low or even deficient in minerals to start with it makes sense that we are all deficient in these because of our food supply,even organic,even bio dynamic foods.

But like everything else it seems the guys doing these studies are also promoting/selling the supplements eh?
A couple of years ago I did a really intensive nutritional therapy for around 2 years I was taking between 40-60 supplements/tablets a day!
Now I think this was completely insane,
now I take:(maybe this still sounds like alot but not to me because I took so many before!)

1 multi vit&mineral,
1 CoQ10,
1 fish oil,
1 B complex,
2 magnesium
And one bioacidophillus forte

and various amounts of ascorbic acid.
I have a book called "glyconutrients" just a short book by Steve Nugent (author of "How to survive on a toxic planet"-
I have not read this yet but figure we could all do with a manual like that!)
anyhow in it one of the examples he gives of the soil depletion of nutrients,is that
a person (nowadays)would have to consume 53 peaches to get the same vitamin C as was found in ONE peach back in 1951!!!
