 INTRODUCTION 

In my family, Sunday night is our weekly shopping excursion to Wal-Mart. Thanks to empty aisles, my kids can tear through the store without getting on other shoppers' nerves. And I can search for deals on electronics and supplements. On one shopping trip several months ago, as I stared at the never-ending, behemoth supplement aisle in Wal-Mart, my wife nudged me and said, “These supplements suck.”

“Really? Why do you think that?” I asked.

“Well, they're cheap. And I bet they're filled with crap.”

“Not true.” I responded. “There are at least ten lifesaving supplements here—with great purity—that are being sold inexpensively. I'll prove it to you. Try a couple of my recommendations, and I bet you'll see results within thirty days! They'll boost your energy by preventing common nutritional deficiencies, and as a side benefit, they'll help ramp up your metabolism for bikini season. If it doesn't work, I'll find something else that does.”

My wife is never one to turn down a challenge. So she followed my recommendations.

After about twenty-one days, the products I suggested had worked. My wife had more energy, and thanks to some lean, sexy muscle, she fit into her bikini perfectly. She didn't have to stick to rigid diets or abstain from her favorite wine or dessert. She simply used the supplements persistently while following a few simple lifestyle habits to ensure her supplements worked harder for her. You can achieve the same thing. This book makes it easier than ever to use nutritional supplements to revitalize your health in 30 days. In a matter of weeks, you'll start feeling and looking great!

Over-the-Counter Natural Cures
will do more than teach you about
the right supplements. It will also outline exactly how to use them and highlight the safest and most effective doses, as well as the best time to administer. I will also warn you about potentially dangerous supplement-drug interactions, which, according to a study published in the
Journal
of the American Medical Association,
puts more than two million people
at risk!
¹
And finally, you will learn the true causes of today's most serious health threats—like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer—and how your supplements—combined with select lifestyle factors—can help you defy them and the effects of premature aging. This book is the culmination of decades of study that began when I was a teenager.

NUTRIENT LOGIC

While most teenage boys were curious about sex, drugs, and rock and roll, I was interested in chemistry, athletics, and rock and roll. Just ask my dad.

“What the hell are you swallowing?”

“Amino acids,” I answered while choking down a handful of “horse pills.”

“Amino acids?” My father stared slack-jawed at my skinny fourteen-year-old body.

“Yeah, amino acids. These are the building blocks of life. I've been
reading about them,” I said, pointing to my pile of muscle magazines on the floor. “This is how I'm going to get buff and smart.”

“Oh.” My dad was visibly dumbfounded. I could tell he was wondering why our family doctor had never mentioned any of this.

At the time, I didn't understand how my dad or his doctor could be clueless about life's building blocks and their immense health benefits. After all, every living being requires them. But now that I am an organic chemist, it's clear. Most people have not discovered what I call “nutrient logic.”

Nutrient logic dictates that humans cannot thrive without key nutrients, and that today's health threats are simply the result of gaping nutrient deficiencies. In contrast to a focus on choking down symptom-masking drugs, nutrient logic addresses the cause and conquers illness by filling the corresponding deficiency. The process is as simple and logical as resurrecting a dying, sun-deprived plant with sun exposure and water. A mountain of scientific evidence supports this logic if you really need proof. As a pharmaceutical chemist, I've been studying it for more than twenty years. And the evidence has always proven that nutrient logic can improve people's health while saving them money.

NUTRIENT LOGIC SAVES HEALTH AND WEALTH

My keen interest in nutrient logic helped me become an award-winning scientist and a medicinal chemist for one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. My studies and experience confirmed what I always knew: proper nutrient intake is the biggest determinant of overall health, longevity, and athletic performance.
