So many people are obsessed with supplements, despite the fact that most have not seen a tangible improvement in their quality of life from them. Perhaps it's due to adopting the belief that a pill will magically cure your problems. At best it's the placebo effect.
Testosterone boosting one here, synthetic vitamins over here, etc.
After spending a ton of money on experimenting with different brands, herbs, and vitamins, I've recently realized what a scam it is. And an expensive one, at that.
All of that money could have gone towards whole foods this entire time, and I would've saved myself money and time from the neuroticism that led to researching different compounds.
Peat himself has spoken against the supplement industry and does not advocate the use of them.
"Any natural food is extremely purified, any supplement made chemically is going to be dirty, just in principle."
"One of the problems [with supplements] is that you don't get the unnamed and unidentified nutrients that are in any living tissue.
For example, in mushrooms, the content has hardly been sketched out,—there are thousands of potentially valuable nutrients or paranutritional substances, things that influence your quality of life that simply haven't been identified and tested."
Not to mention that any contamination, fillers, pill casings, etc. could irritate the gut and potentially stimulate the release of endotoxin.
Furthermore, if we starting viewing food differently, as vibrations that raise our life-force, it would make sense why lab-made substances most likely HARM our body.
Any isolated vitamin, even the fat solubles, likely causes deficiencies in minerals and unknown substances due to being unbalanced and unlike anything found in Nature.
And if a supplement increases the rate of some metabolic process it could eventually deplete some other substances involved in that process and can short circuit paths to healing.
If anything, supplements should be used for the bare minimum amount of time to elevate one out of a degenerative state, NOT to support an individual who is already healthy.
We've somehow forgotten what the word "supplement" means and now subconsciously view them as mandatory.
Sunlight, sleep, socializing, and great nutrition from whole foods is key. If you get those on lock, then you won't need to spend your money on popping unnecessary pills, creams, topical drops, or consuming powders.
Thoughts? Has anyone else also dropped all supplements after being obsessed with them?
