And here is an excerpt from Dr. Biamonte -

Here is some wise info. by Dr. Biamonte (Naturopath and Clinical

Nutritionist at http://www.health-truth.com:

************************************************************

If there is a chronic infection in the body such as yeast, parasites,

Epstein Barr virus, Lymes disease and so on, the body

concentrates all its effort on eliminating the infection. If other problems

exist at the same time, such as poor energy, digestive

distress, high cholesterol, arthritis or what ever, the infection drains the

body " s ability to correct anything else. So the infection

must first be eliminated.

Infections tend to make the body toxic as dead white blood cells used to

fight the infection build up and clog the system. They

also tend to weaken our digestive systems leaving foods only partially

broken down and putrifying in our intestines. When the

body is toxic it is also difficult for it to absorb, transport and utilize

vitamins. So the next step is to purify the body, especially

the intestines which is where we absorb nutrients.

In cases where an infection is not present we would start by cleansing the

system so it can be prepared to absorb the nutrients

which are needed to heal it. The major reason why vitamin programs fail is

because the body was not clean enough to take in

and use the vitamin.

When this is done the body can absorb what it needs to begin healing. And

much like an engine which has now been cleaned

and fueled it can run better and produce energy. Now it will gladly except

vitamins and supplements rather then getting sick

from them.
