Why Do I Use Whole Food Supplements?
by Dr. David L. Wick, D.C.

One of the very common sayings among chiropractic doctors is "the power that made the body heals the body." Nobody believes that to be more true than I do.

Whenever I detect blockages in the normal function of the body, I use chiropractic adjustments and meridian therapy techniques to remove the blockage, but I realize that only the body is capable of healing itself—and ultimately only the Power that made the body.

Because of my belief in using the most natural holistic practices possible, I highly recommend the most natural whole food diet possible. When it is not possible to get needed nutrients through diet alone, I choose to use whole food supplements as my standard nutritional protocol. Such products help to support the normal body functions through foods traditionally eaten by our ancestors but frequently forgotten by our modern society.

The primary source of whole food supplements that I use is Standard Process, Inc. Their products are the highest quality that I have found and I greatly appreciate their philosophy about nutrition.

Most of the foods eaten today are devitalized and devoid of the nutrients needed by the human body. Even those eating "healthy" foods may be surprised to learn about what nutrients they may be missing. That's why good whole food supplementation deserves a second glance with just about every person desiring a healthy lifestyle.

Standard Process raises the crops used in their products organically and controls their production from seed to distribution. Their products are only available to health professionals because they want to ensure that patients using their supplements are given an adequate examination to determine need. I invite you to check out their website to review the importance of good nutrition to your health.

At my clinic, I take pride in using some of the best nutritional products available today. Knowing that nutritional support is necessary in order to achieve optimum health, I want to support our patients in a manner consistent with the lifestyles they wish to achieve.
