Ever hear the story about the “smart pills”?
It seems that a young fellow was concerned about his intelligence, and mentioned that to an acquaintance. The acquaintance told him that wasn’t a problem–that he just needed some “smart pills.” Of course the young fellow was interested, and asked his friend to obtain some for him. The friend advised him that they were quite expensive, and that he would have to be paid up front for them. The young fellow was able to scrape together the money, which he gave to his friend for the pills.
Later that day, the friend gave him a small bag of small, brown spherical objects. He said “Here are your smart pills.” The young fellow said “those look just like bunny poop.” His friend responded with “Those are really smart pills. Open the bag.”
The young fellow opened the bag. He then said “Those smell like bunny poop!” His friend countered with “I guarantee you that you will be smarter if you take them. Go ahead–try one and you will see.”
At that point the young fellow popped one in his mouth and began to chew it. An alarmed look came over his face, he quickly spit it out, and exclaimed “Those ARE bunny poop! You tricked me!”
To this his friend replied “See, they worked. You are smarter already.”
I told you that story partially to give you an idea why the U.S. FDA is involved in the food, drug and supplement claims business. This is particularly relevant in that actual “drugs” are always, in some manner, destructive. On condition that they weren’t, they’d not be classified as drugs. The word drug ultimately began with the Greek word “pharmakon,” meaning “poison.” The reason that all drugs come under the regulation of government agencies is because they all are poisons of some variety and strength.
Those of us that have made the decision to “just say NO to drugs” are regularly seeking organic, advantageous supplements, devices and methods that naturally support the structures and functions of our own bodies. All of the structures and functions of our bodies are basically intended to develop, safeguard and repair us, help our brains function at optimum levels, and produce reliable replacements to carry on whenever we cannot. Clearly, construction, protection and regeneration cannot be based on poisons along with other destructive influences. Although drugs and other destructive influences sometimes have temporary value for rescue, they’ve got no worth whatsoever for creating and looking after excellent health.
Many individuals feel that the FDA goes beyond acceptable boundaries with it’s charter of safeguarding us from drugs, including disallowing any promises that natural supplements which only support structure and function will offer treatment, prevention, mitigation and cure, there are also many of us who believe that they don’t really go nearly far enough, especially in the “F” (food) component of their job. As an illustration, eating un-sprouted wheat is associated with undesirable health issues in most people on earth. Many people recognize that breads, pastas, breadings, wheat-based mixes and gravies, etc. really should be forced to exhibit a stern warning label the same as cigarettes and tobacco products. Within a truly protective environment, products that combine wheat with proteins, which include burgers and other sandwiches with meats and cheeses, should really be disallowed for ingestion by anyone younger than the age of twenty-one, corresponding to alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking.
There are many wonderful, nutritious foods that you could give your body to assure that it truly is obtaining the appropriate nourishment every day, and that the damaging influences are kept to a minimum amount. Be sure to consume mainly live (un-cooked) green vegetables with other nutritive fruits and vegetables. Cabbage leaves and nori sheets (dried sea vegetation) are excellent “sandwich” wraps to take the place of breads.

Another tip: You should never expect you’ll get all of the nutrients that you need from the foods you consume, regardless of how cautious and wise your choices are. Perfect Health demands nutritional balance, and the environment makes it necessary that you find the appropriate health supplements to compliment that balance every single day. One that I personally take daily is one which we manufacture known as “AloeFerrin 4™.” It includes a complete daily serving of the excellent Aloe vera inner leaf gel extract called “BiAloe®” that gives a sufficient supply of essential mannoses to replace the daily consumption of most people.
As manufacturers, we are sometimes annoyed by the constantly changing requirements for labeling, phrasing and other requirements imposed by the FDA. One thing we give them though, is that the level of confidence in nutritional products is on the rise. Because of requirements such as manufacturing must be done in a GMP certified facility, etc., assures us all that we will be consuming products that are obligated to make only claims that can be supported by science, and that none of them contain any bunny poop.
