More FAQ's
Why can't I just take extra
vitamins?
Assuring proper Cellular Nutrition is considerably more complicated than simply
avoiding a few excesses of the average American diet or adding a few vitamins. Cellular
Nutrition begins by taking in a complete nutritional program that includes all of the
essential micronutrients, eating a balanced diet and avoiding the excesses known to be
harmful. At the same time, it means taking advantage of the wealth of information that has
been gained from the botanical world by incorporating health-building, nutritional herbs.
What is the difference between your plan
and many other plans?
One of the major differences about Cellular Nutrition is that it is an excellent
nutritional program, but that is only the beginning. Simply consuming good nutrition will
not really make a difference if the body is not able to fully digest and, more
importantly, "absorb" all the nutrition that is consumed. Most of the nutrients
that we consume are absorbed into our body through the villi of the small intestine. These
are small, finger-like projections which specialize in the absorption of nutrients. Most
of us take it for granted that our bodies absorb all the nutrition from our diets
efficiently and completely. For all too many of us, unfortunately, nutrient absorption may
be diminished or impaired a a result of severely compromised eating habits, persistent
dieting and other factors which may be due to severe stress that often accompanies modern
life. This means that many of us are eating well but not getting the full nutritional
benefit. One "very important" aspect of the cellular nutrition program is to
assure that our bodies absorb, to the fullest extent possible, the nutrients that we do
consume. In this way, we can counteract some of the demanding effects of poor eating
habits, a stressful lifestyle, or even minor illnesses, and begin a process of
regenerating and revitalizing our cells with good nutrition.
Cell nutrition goes a step further.
An important part of the Cellular Nutrition program is a group
of micronutrients and herbs, which help energize the body's cells so they can function
more efficiently and use the nutrition to further improve health and vitality. The process
of "Cell Activation" is the result of the exclusive and balanced micro-nutrient
formula contained in our Cellular Nutrition program. The end result is - "we felt the
difference!" For most of us who have been eating the average American diet, the
results are quite dramatic when we begin Cellular Nutrition. We can actually feel and see
the difference. These results make us more highly motivated and it becomes easier to stick
with a calorie reduced program to help control our weight.
How do our products work?
Our products supply all the balanced nutrition the body needs on a daily basis.
Individuals, who choose to, can lose excess weight by reducing excess calories without
sacrificing important nutrients like protein, potassium and iron. As a result, they feel
their best while they lose both excess weight and inches.
Are the vitamin levels, like vitamin A,
high? Are they safe?
The levels of vitamins and minerals in all our products formulas are carefully designed to
assure that individuals consuming them will not develop deficiencies or excesses. All of
our formulas are created to assure that all individuals, regardless of their nutritional
needs, receive optimum nutrition. Studies demonstrate that there are no
"buildup" of vitamins or minerals associated with the use of our products,
including Vitamin A. In formulating our products, we have taken special care to assure
that Vitamin A level are completely safe and never lead to accumulation, even when
consumed together with a diet rich in Vitamin A.
What do the herbs do and are they safe?
Herbs are nature's bounty. They are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and related
nutrients essential for good health. The herbal mixtures used in our products have been
created by experts to maximize nutritional potency. The herbs are the highest quality
available anywhere in the world and are free of pesticide residues and other possible
contaminants. Tabulating of the mixtures occurs under strict quality control to assure
both purity and safety.
Can everyone use our products?
Yes. Since our products are 100% nutritional food supplements, they are safe for everyone.
Certain individuals including children, pregnant or lactating women, insulin dependent
diabetics and those with compromised kidney function are advised to consult with their
physician before beginning this or any weight management program.
Does the FDA have a problem with products? Is
it approved?
In 1986 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration thoroughly evaluated our Programs and
issued a statement declaring that all of our products were safe. However, the FDA does not
actually approve any nutritional product or food supplement, only drugs, medications and
medical devices. In addition, whenever our products are introduced into a new country, it
is reviewed by that country's government before it is approved for importation and
distribution.
Have our products been tested?
Absolutely. Our products have had extensive clinical testing in the United States and
Great Britain. All of the studies have demonstrated that our products are safe and
effective on both the short term and long term basis. In addition, each batch of our
products are quality-control tested to ensure product integrity before it is shipped
anywhere in the world.
Do our distributors require professional
training?
No. Our Weight Control Program has been specifically designed by experts and doctors in
the fields of food technology and nutritional medicine so that it is completely
self-explanatory and therefore does not require or expect nutritional expertise on the
part of its distributors. However, Our Medical and Scientific Advisory Board offers its
distributors extensive nutritional education in the form of literature, tapes, and
seminars.
Does our program change eating habits?
Definitely. Our Program promotes good nutritional habits like reducing fat, fried foods,
salt and sugar in the diet and increasing fiber and complex carbohydrates. Most important,
we teach individuals how to achieve and maintain an ideal weight. It is a lifetime health
program that works for everyone.
Is exercise a part of the our program?
Our program encourages participants to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes good
nutrition, regular exercise, moderation in the use of alcohol and avoiding tobacco use.
Our Program works even if individuals do not or cannot exercise. Many people cannot
exercise because of serious injuries or other health problems. Even those individuals can
use the Our Program to lose weight successfully.
Is there enough fluid and fiber in the our
program?
Yes. When followed as recommended, our Program provides approximately four pints of liquid
and 25 grams of fiber. This is more than is found in the average diet of industrialized
countries and is the level recommended by health authorities world-wide. Supplemental
fiber tablets are available for those who wish to further increase their daily fiber
intake.
