Supplement Racket is Destroying the Paleo Movement on Paleo Quick Tip of the Day

Paleo Boy!

I kind of hate to even bring this up… But only Kind Of!

It is a story that needs to be told, despite the implications:  most of the supplements endlessly recommended and actually shilled by those in the ancestral lifestyle are unnecessary.  

There, I said it.  When good health becomes dependent on people being hooked on artificial supplements, why then it becomes just another marketing gimmick!  

Just as conventional, AMA big pharma recommended modern medicine, which is largely based on ‘science’ that is 50 years out of date (low fat- high carb nonsense)-

Paleo, and increasingly the primary buzzword of KETO are being dominated by the necessity of marketing.  That is: selling endless amounts of expensive supplements!  

If you are seeking lifelong health and fitness, this is not the goal you should be seeking.  We need to get back to basics here, to what drew me (and everyone else) to the pristine essense of the ancestral, Paleo Lifestyle in the beginning:

EATING REAL FOOD!

That, my friends, is the paleo diet in a nutshell- eat real, God made foods, as they come in nature, and ignore the boxed, prepared junk, and fast foods in general.  Simple.  Easy Peasey.

But now- all you hear about is “take this supplement, and this- I sell them both on my website- be sure to order NOW or you are doomed!”  While this may be preferrable to taking all of the big Pharma statins, and blood pressure fake medicines, and undergoing every medical test they come up with to separate you from your money- it still is not ideal, and mainly in existence to, again: separate you from your money.

But I know, you are concerned about your nutrition, how the depleted soil is making our vegetables less nutritious, and we ‘need’ supplements to keep us healthy…

Make your own supplements!

That is the simple solution.  Get yourself a Vitamix blender, which is the best.  This is a one time expense that will ensure your health for a long, long time!  

Then, start in by making yourself and your family a smoothie to drink each morning.  Make a canister full, and put the portions into canning jars that you can refrigerate.  Use real veggies and fruits in your smoothies, along with kefir, spices, cod liver oil, apple cider vinegar, raw pastured eggs, yogurt, and everything else I recommend in my eBook Perfectly Paleo Exercise and at my website at paleojay.com

It’s all there, for free!  

Along with cinnamon, vitamin D liquid, turmeric powder and ginger root and/or ginger powder- this will be everything that you need for perfect and maximum health!  

EVERYTHING!!

It’s really not that hard.  (As Michael Scott would say in ‘the Office’).  

Just take these real, organic (hopefully you are on board with using foods uncontaminated with herbicide poisons), and blend them up to an assimilable state, and drink them

It’s really not that hard.  (As Michael Scott would say in ‘the Office’).  

Just take these real, organic (hopefully you are on board with using foods uncontaminated with herbicide poisons), and blend them up to an assimilable state, and drink them down! 

Keep the rest of your diet clean, meaning good meats, pastured eggs and dairy, and without grains…  It’s really that simple.  Eat your meat and veggies, occasionally some fruit or sweetener (I am boiling my maple sap into syrup right now), and confine your carbs to sweet or white potatoes, and those that come along with vegetables.  

That is IT!  Along with ample sleep, good, natural (Perfectly Paleo Exercise), clean non-urban air and ample sunshine and time in Nature:   why then you will be As Healthy as You Can Be!!  

Really- a properly made smoothie is that powerful.  It will fill all of the ‘holes’ of modern dietary insufficiencies, cheaply and effectively.  

And then, you can ignore all of the supplement hysteria, where you need endless pills and potions!  

Really, just tune all of this out.  I am here to tell you what I have discovered, and I have NOTHING to sell you!  Oh, I have my ebook and my blog, but you can get everything from my blog, which is on its 9^th year- paleojay.com

All that I want is for you and your family to get healthy.  That’s it, and I hope you take me up on my offer!  Because remember: I have nothing to sell, or gain.  All that I sell is the TRUTH.

PaleoJay's Smoothie Cafe #101 Make your own REAL FOOD supplements!

Make your own supplements!
I have been listening, via a great podcast superhuman radio on my iPhone to Dr. Thomas Levy.  The good doctor, who is not any longer in lock-step with his professional colleagues, has had great success in treating many modern diseases with Vitamin C!  (Remember Linus Pauling?  He was castigated, similarly to Robert Atkins of the low carb diet fame, by the medical establishment).

It turns out that vitamin C, which is produced by virtually ALL other animals, is NOT produced by humans.  Common knowledge, really, but the implications to health are very important:  The RDA for vitamin C might prevent scurvy; but it is far too low to prevent "scurvy of the heart", or "scurvy of the bones", or other bodily systems.

The bottom line is that Vitamin C is FAR more important for us than the current medical system believes, or is willing to recommend.  The implications for heart disease, and cancer, to name only two, are more important than we might ever believe- not to mention simply optimizing our health.


So, what is the bottom line?

I don't think it is necessary, or even optimal to take massive amounts of supplements. After all, that is why they are called supplements!


"But Jay, but Jay!" I hear you saying.  "Supplements are so expensive!"


Yes, indeed they are, and many (most!) are totally synthetic, and not really good for human consumption...

So I say MAKE YOUR OWN SUPPLEMENTS!


Just start with a Vitamix blender...

Mix up a good smoothie recipe- like this one, chosen at random: Paleo Quick Start Smoothie!

Actually, many variations are possible- and are to be encouraged!  Go heavy on the vitamin C- and don't think only citrus- did you know that red peppers are much higher in vitamin C than oranges??

So, my point, again is this: MAKE YOUR OWN SUPPLEMENTS!  It's way easier to take a Vitamix, and blend together real foods, and drink them throughout your day1  I mean, cooking foods is great, cooking real foods like veggies and meats and fruits and spices and seafood!

Nothing better!  EXCEPT, perhaps:

Blending them up, RAW, along with every single thing your body needs in one, easily assimilable "package" that is not only easy to transport and consume, but that gives your body (and mind!) everything they need to thrive and gain optimum health!!

I don't know about you, but I would do all I could to avoid "scurvies"- in other words modern, sub-standard food deficiencies that will render me (and you too of course) sickly, be-deviled with "mind fog", and prone to all of the diseases of modern civilization- cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, the list goes on and on....

Just choose health!  It's easy, too- actually even easier than the fast foods that are leading the bulk of us to our sick, weak, pain-filled future-

Making a daily smoothie is about as easy as it gets, one we "get it" and make the transition!

If you have bad teeth, skin, or hair...

THIS IS THE "INDICATOR LIGHT" OF YOUR BODY:

This means that your body is "breaking down"!    If you don't address the cause; i.e. your sub-standard diet that is not providing your body enough nutrients, you are setting yourself up for all of the diseases of modern civilization:  ( listed above, but only partially...)

If your car was flashing "check oil" you would jump on it!!

Your body's indicator lights are SO much MORE important!

Do NOT ignore them!

Start making your own supplements!!
