All nutritional supplements are not created equal.  The journal of the American Nutraceutical Association reported in winter, 1999, that only 5 of 196 (2½%) of the nutritional products randomly tested from health food stores proved to be both nontoxic and effective.

The common problems are:
1. Fumigation, Irradiation, Pesticide, Herbicide and/or Insecticide Residues, which are found in over 60% of the herbs used in nutritional products in the U.S. - even organic herbs, which may be watered with contaminated water and fumigated in transit.  Currently the U.S. allows "organically" grown food to be mercury fumigated in storage and transit.

2. Most U.S. Grown Herbs are Too Weak, Too Old, the Wrong Herbal Species or Too Toxic. Depending upon the growing and harvesting methods used, a plant can vary in mineral content by over 900% - with the plant's phytochemical nutrients ranging from very potent with spectacular healing properties to nearly inactive.

3. Heat, High Pressure, Toxic Glues, Binders, Fillers and Flowing Agents are not listed on labels. For example, talcum power, a suspected carcinogen, and magnesium stearate, an immunosuppressive, are routinely used in the process of tableting and encapsulating.  These toxic chemical agents, consumed over time, can accumulate and later create serious toxicity and absorption problems.

4. Chemicalized, Inorganic Vitamins initially stimulate our bodies; but German research shows that the ultimate result of ingesting chemicalized, inorganic vitamins over time is cellular DNA deterioration, which ages the body faster.  We can also have symptoms related to imbalances created by taking isolated, specific minerals or vitamins over time.  If the product's label simply lists vitamins, not herbs or food, beware:  that product is chemicalized, inorganic vitamins and/or minerals.

How can I know I am taking quality herbal supplements and eating quality food?

Make a 15 minute appointment with me by phone or on the Services page or visit another experienced QRA practitioner near you to learn how to test your food, supplements and anything else.  Bring a person that you shop with and some of your commonly used supplements, cleaning products and cosmetics to the appointment.  Testing requires two people.  When a product tests bad, it not only will not support your body's efforts to heal, it will use up precious antioxidants and B vitamins to neutralize the adverse effects of the that product. 

Once you get proficient at QRA testing, you will be amazed at even expensive brands that test bad.  For example, Ozarka water tests good while many more expensive brands of water test bad.  You can check out Ozarka water at ozarkawater.com.   Also, the product you test may indeed have tested great when it left the factory, but was irradated, exposed to an electromagnetic field during shipment or it just sat on the shelf too long.  Ask your QRA practitioner to explain - and show you - how PRL's Polar Mins and/or Q. Soft laser can make that bad product test good again.

You should also be sure that the QRA practitioner tests your pituitary, GV 20 and GV 17 points.  When these points are off, we cannot test others or things accurately.  But there is a fix for that too - either make an appointment to get to the root cause of your problem or purchase a Quantum Coherence vial.

In contrast, HH WELLNESS uses Premier Research Labs, PRL, products.

1. PRL’s once living, quantum quality concentrates contain Mother Nature’s most potent phytonutrients and whole foods. Thus, they can be absorbed deeply into each cell, enhancing the bio-availability of nutrients to quickly energize your cells’ functions and accelerate enzyme functions. The regenerative processes can then be driven into high gear to provide vitality and energy to spare, helping to unleash the awesome healing power of your entire body so that it can return to the way it was originally designed to function – as a complete self-healing, self-regenerating, self-rejuvenating system.

2. PRL uses truly beneficial, synergistic herbal nutrient blends for an effect far greater than the sum of their individual benefits by a factor of 10 to 100 or even 1,000 fold.

3. PRL does not use raw materials that have been fumigated, irradiated or contain pesticide, herbicide or insecticide residue.

4. PRL’s advanced, state-of-the-art, grade 10, premiere quality nutritional supplements are free of toxic chemical additives, preservatives, flowing agents, binders or glues.

5. Most of PRL’s food and herbal ingredients are obtained in the deep central forests of India, the South American rainforests and the pristine mountaintops of China, where they have been exquisitely well grown in rich, fertile, unspoiled soil with clean air, pure water and natural fertilization. They are harvested at peak potency and packaged into drums with tamper-proof locking pins to avoid routine fumigation at ports of passage.

6. PRL uses low temperature air drying, not freeze drying, to retain full biological activity of enzymes and herbs. PRL then packages and stores the ingredients in a toxic-free, protective environment.

7. PRL checks every batch of incoming raw material for positive identification of species, potency, purity and contamination. If the raw material does not test good, PRL simply will not make the product until a new batch of raw material passes inspection.
