Food therapy is the oldest known form of medicine. Ancient texts of India (the Vedas) dating back to 4500 BC gave precise descriptions of the therapeutic and medicinal value of hundreds of foods and edible plants. In 400 BC, Hippocrates told his students &#8220;Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food&#8221;. The Neijing, a Chinese text dating from 300 BC, states, &#8220;Medicine and food are of the same source&#8221;. All ancient cultures held similar beliefs.</p>
<p>Scholars and historians have shown these ancient cultures provided the foundation for much of contemporary western medicine. Unfortunately, their medicinal knowledge of food did not. This wisdom has mostly been lost to modern cultures. What we eat is no longer used to achieve healing and wellness. Food has become a simple commodity and popular diets are passing fads.</p>
<p>Food is the foundation of health and healing, yet most physicians don&#8217;t have the time, expertise, or resources to design patient-specific therapeutic diets. Patients are bio-chemically unique; therefore each requires an individualized diet. Current nutritional software programs are cumbersome for the patient and the practitioner.</p>
<p>Patient compliance is poor because the diets are hard to follow and often cause new problems while attempting to address existing ones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vitamins and minerals can be absorbed by the body in a number of ways. They first enter our body through the food we eat. Secondly, we can take vitamin supplements to increase the amount of pertinent vitamins and minerals. There are different methods of taking medication and one of the most common methods is absorbing it in its liquid form. Do the advantages of liquid vitamins far outweigh its disadvantages &#8211; if there are any? Read on and find out.</p>
<p>Better or Easier Absorption for Kids Although liquid vitamins may taste worse than vitamins in flavored, chewable tablet forms, they are however easier to absorb. There are numerous cases in which children have problems with choking, breathing and swallowing simply because of their inability to absorb medication or vitamins in this form.</p>
<p>This is the same problem as well for adults who have lost their ability to control their jaws or are unable to digest anything that is not in liquid form.</p>
<p>Liquid Vitamins are More Effective Because of its form, liquid vitamins can be assimilated immediately into the blood stream for a more systemic administration of the vitamin and its average absorption rate is approximately 90 to 98%. It is also three to five times more concentrated than vitamin pills and this lead to higher bio-activity and greater therapeutic benefits.</p>
<p>The Link between Antioxidants and Liquid Vitamins Have you ever wondered whether or not liquid vitamins contained oxidants as well? Vitamins E, C and A are examples of antioxidants and they are commonly found in vitamin supplements but what about liquid vitamins?</p>
<p>And the answer is an absolute YES. Liquid vitamins must in fact contain such antioxidants or they&#8217;ll prove to be ineffective compared to other vitamins. Remember that the most important of all antioxidants &#8211; Vitamins A, C and E &#8211; are not internally produced by the body so they must be a regular fixture in our diet. Antioxidants are our main defense against effects of damaging oxidation reactions. Antioxidants are our best weapons against suffering from any form of cancer. Without it, we are basically weaker and less healthy.</p>
<p>Liquid Vitamins versus Digestive Acids One reason why people refuse to acknowledge the benefits of liquid vitamins is because of the supposed destruction by digestive acids of any vitamin or mineral that it does not recognize as part of the process of digestion. The opposite is, in fact true. Our digestive system actually prefers or is able to better absorb liquid vitamins and minerals rather than those made in pill or capsule form.</p>
<p>A vitamin pill or tablet has to be digested completely before it can benefit the human body. It must be broken down into absorbable nutrients or only up to thirty percent of it will be absorbed by the human body. Liquid vitamins however provide a better and easier solution for the digestive system. Because it does not depend in any way on mechanical digestion, an estimated 90% of it can be absorbed directly by the body.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s vital to remember that digestion does not mainly function to destroy vitamins and minerals but rather to transform them into substances it can use to improve the general constitution of the body.</p>
<p>Liquid Vitamins: Toxic or Not? Another problem posed is the amount of colloidal minerals found in liquid vitamins. Are they harmful or not?</p>
<p>In truth, even plants and fruits contain a trace of such minerals in them. Apples, for instance, contain 3-5 mg of aluminum as it&#8217;s one of the most abundant elements that can be found in the surface of the Earth. But do you hear anyone telling you that apples are dangerous to your health? On the contrary, what we are more likely to hear is that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.</p>
<p>And so it must be with liquid vitamins as well. Containing a slight amount of colloidal mineral doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s bad for our health right away. Colloidal minerals, are above all else, naturally occurring elements and can not therefore be avoided.</p>
<p>You Have a Choice At the end of the day, however, it&#8217;s still up to you whether or not you wish to take vitamin supplements in liquid or solid form. What really matters is what you prefer and which will ultimately work better for you.</p>
