I was present at the birth of a friend’s baby the other day, and as the baby was shown through the glass window, generating the customary crescendos of ohhs and ahhs from the gathered audience, I couldn’t help thinking that here we were witnessing perfect health, the ultimate healthy body without diseases or imperfections, health as it should be, in all its innocent glory!

And as I quickly drew a mind map of the baby’s growth amongst us, I was only too painfully aware that just as nature had brought into life a perfect bundle of joy and health so would we turn this healthy perfection into something all too familiar in today’s life:  A nutritionally deficient health in need of vitamins and supplements.

Vitamins are living enzymes complexes responsible for the production of natural biochemical reactions in our body.  When taken in their organic form, vitamin can therefore perform the very functions they are called upon to perform unlike the synthetic vitamins which are no more than glorified chemicals quite capable of causing havoc in our body.

As a society geared towards consumption, we are confronted with an unprecedented choice of vitamins, as daily supplements or multi vitamin super duper and multi boosted tablets of sheer vitamin power and yet an increasing number of Americans are chronically ill.

Even the foods we buy boast products that include vitamins (in fact these “vitamins” are almost always chemicals components).

We are what we eat and in a country where billions of dollars of synthetic vitamins are spent on a yearly basis, the overall state of our health seems to indicate that those synthetically produced nutrients are falling short of the promises on their labels.

And so as the realization that these synthetic chemical vitamin products are not the real deal gradually becomes evident in our mind, the problem we now face is where to find, the good vitamins that our body craves.

The answer to that question is simple.  Just as the food we eat should be organic, so do the vitamins we take as supplements.  If there is one message that one needs to remember, it is that when it comes to vitamins, nothing compares with organic food which when consume provide our body with all the necessary nutrients it needs for its well being!

Since we know that not all vitamins are created equal, our recommendation is that organic vitamins are the only vitamins containing the necessary nutrients our body needs for optimal health and therefore should be the only ones used in our daily supplements.

Nature in its infinite wisdom has created a world ripe with organic food that is ideal for our health.  Babies are born as a testimony to this perfect health which is our inherent right as human beings, just like the baby who’s birth I had begun to celebrate..

And as I was contemplating this beautiful bundle of joy, image of nature’s perfection, I couldn’t help hoping that those around him, the parents and siblings, the friends and teachers would ultimately remember natures’ lessons and stir baby into a path of organic food.

And as time drew nearer for baby to be returned to the peace of his first earthly sleep and we were starting to walk away, some of us rushed to the nearest soda machine where they proceeded to pour themselves one of the very products which nature had never intended.

It seemed that this baby would need all the help he could get in the form of organic vitamins and other such organic foods.
