Biochemicals and Phytonutrients

The world’s leading authority on biochemicals and phytonutrients know that the best pharmacist is our creator. Phytonutrients are therapeutic foods that are grown, harvested and properly produced without heat. They are a complex combination of plant-based phytochemicals, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. These remarkable compounds have nothing in common with the vitamins, supplements and so-called “natural" products sold in supermarkets, health food stores or on the internet. In fact, those store-bought pretenders have more in common with prescription drugs.

Here’s Why: Most ordinary supplements and vitamins, like pharmaceuticals, are totally synthetic. But unlike store-bought products, true phytonutrients contain a combination of all the ingredients found in nature—in their proper combination and dose, rather than one or two of the so-called active ingredients. Man tries, but can’t replicate these God-given ingredients in perfect harmony with your body. The brain doesn’t read the synthetically produced pills. That’s why you continuously suffer the side-effects and begin to “pyramid” the number of pills you take until you are a walking, talking sewer.
In many cases, the pills you take are never dissolved nor absorbed into the blood stream.

“Phytochemicals in vegetables are probably the best hope for stopping some of the most deadly and stubborn diseases.” — Newsweek magazine 1994

The practice of using phytonutrients to heal may be on the cutting edge of medical science for some. But for more than 30 years, Dr. BruceWest has treated tens of thousands of people who were given up for dead by their own physicians. Many of these physicians have realized the inefficiency and limitations of prescription drugs and have expanded their practice to include phytonutrients in a form of medicine referred to as “Integrative Medicine.” Their stories are on the internet. They are increasing in numbers as people begin to realize the failure of our health care system in improving the health and longevity of their patients. The WHO (World Health Organization) now ranks the U. S. as 45th of all the industrialized nations of the world in longevity. That’s a downward trend from 2003 when we were ranked as 25th in longevity.

The pharmaceutical companies continue to sell physicians with their black satchel full of sample drugs for the doctor and his staff. They supply them with a room full of free drugs from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. Patients are thrilled to receive these drugs free, but are soon curious about the side effects and the length of time they need to take them. The response to their question is usually, “The rest of your life.” Addiction to drugs of all sorts is inevitable and the costs rise dramatically~until we realize why we pay twice and three times as much as any other country for the same drugs and suffer the consequences of poorer health.
