"Also, i don't know about all this pill popping that some values so much."

Most of us are taking vitamin supplements, not phamaceuticals.
I use only high quality brands. I buy only vegetarian supplements.

"Take apart nature, and put it together again in an unnatural way again (extracts), and you ask for trouble!"

The only thing I have against liquid extracts is that most have plenty of alcohol.

"I infact get headaches from supplements so i don't touch even one!"

It depends which supplements you use. For example, one person told me they couldn't tolerate iron supplements as they gave stomach ache. They only used iron sulphate. I told her to use iron bisglycinate instead, which she tolerated without a problem.
She said that she can't tolerate vitamin c since it is too acidic. I told her to take cacium ascorbate or exter c which is buffered. I is important to choose the right supplements, even if they do cost more.

"I infact get headaches from supplements so i don't touch even one!"

Headaches from a supplement might be a good thing. Many get headaches from msm, especially if they increase the dosage too quickly. This is an indication that detoxification is taking place. It is a good idea to cut back on the dosage to eliminate side effects though, then gradually increase it as you are able to do so. Chelation for example sometimes gives me a headache, but I increase the dosages slowly, so the headaches usually aren't very severe. I think a mild headache while doing chelation is a sign that it is working.


"What is the real reason for eating supplements instead of real food?
Vegetarianism?"

There are vegetarian supplents. I take 3 grams a day of vitamin c. An orange has 50 mg of vitamin c. I would need to eat 60 oranges a day to get that. As a practical matter I don't eat any fruit since I have candida problems, but do eat plenty of broccoli which has vitamin c. It would take 10.3 pounds of broccoli a day though to get 3 grams of vitamin c. Some here take much more than 3 grams of vitamin c. Some take it to bowel tolerance, which could be 30 grams or more for those who are very sick. I don't recommend such high dosages though. I think 3 grams a day is enough. 30 grams a day might only be slightly more beneficial than 3 grams but at a much higher cost, and with the possible danger of kidney stones with such huge dosages long term.

"I say, let the body handle mineral proportions and regulations (balance), the body is far better in doing that than it's personality seat (soul / brain)."

The body can make decisions about how much of a mineral to absorb and much to excrete for many minerals, but if these aren't present in large enough amounts, then even if it could absorb 100% it still wouldn't be enough. Certain diseases cause excess mineral excretion.

"But ok, eat for instance ascorbin acid all you want, but know that it is not vitamine C, it's only part of it, 1/3 to be exact (i.e an extract)."

Huh????

"Do that, and i'll squeeze my oranges to drink. "

Are you squeezing 60 a day, and if so, all that fructose can't be healthy. Juicing broccoli instead of oranges seems like a better idea, especially if you have candida problems.

"If God / Nature wanted us to eat pills, he / it would provide trees with pills growing on them!"

That makes no sense to me. It is like saying if G-d wanted us to eat bread he would have had bread growing from the ground, and not wheat which needs to be processed in a several step process to make bread. Have you ever tried eating raw unprocessed wheat with the husk?

"Always try the best first, then settle for the next best thing, i.e the "supplement" for the real thing!"

The supplement is the real thing. Another term for supplements is
food concentrates. While some things like garlic lose plenty of their medicinal value by being processed and concentrated, that is not the case for many other things though. Juicing might be part of the answer for those who can't eat huge amounts of vegetables(such as 10.3 pounds of broccoli), as long as the juice is not high in sugar such as orange juice.
