Thinking about micro nutrients - in good nutrition or supplements?

I'm all for good nutrition, rather than supplements, but as we have come to accept living in such a stressful, unhealthy environment, and with few having any idea of, or demanding, something be done about it, it seems we may have to rely more and more on supplements and medications, which is an undesirable option in itself, but whilever we keep increasing our longevity 'in toto" it seems few will actually care, except those living with the results of unhealthy lifestyles, but still actually 'living'
So this article does give us something to think about.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 2, 2008 -- It's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: something seems to be going seriously wrong with our health these days. Skyrocketing rates of heart disease, cancer, digestive and anxiety disorders, autoimmune-based illnesses, and record levels of childhood asthma, autism, diabetes, ADD and obesity are causing many doctors to worry that human health appears to be literally under siege.
With so many complex nutritional and ecological factors at work, could it be possible to develop a simple, yet effective treatment that addresses many of today's most prevalent health challenges? In fact, for centuries physicians have wondered if there existed a central point of vitality in the human body, a sort of wellness regulator. Now researchers say this "medical Holy Grail" may in fact be the body's Vagus Nerve.
"The reason this approach is revolutionary and so effective is because these nutrient-rich whole food concentrates are created through a proprietary four-stage fermentation process that mimics human digestion. This creates tiny nano-scale super nutrients that bypass normal digestion processes for instant absorption by the cells of the brain and Vagus Nerve," said Dr. Joe Ferrara, a certified nutritionist and president of Quantum Nutritionals, LLC a firm specializing in whole food polar lipid supplements.
Unlike ordinary essential fatty acids, this new class of neuro-nutrients includes a wide spectrum of "polar lipids", which are naturally occurring, fat soluble molecules that pack an uncommonly powerful nutritive punch. According to Dr. Ferrara, among the parts of the human body that may benefit most from neuro-nutrients is the Vagus Nerve, a primordial, multi-pronged system of neuro-transmitters that snake from the brain stem and through various organs in the neck, thorax and abdomen.
Recently, the Vagus Nerve has been the subject of increasingly intense research, and treatments targeting it for epileptic seizures, obesity and clinical depression have already been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. When functioning properly, doctors say it is an essential element in bolstering the body's natural ability to fight against stress, inflammation and toxins that can trigger illness, which is why medical experts now believe it may hold a powerful key to our wellbeing.
Using new analysis of living cells harvested from this central "power circuit" of the human body, scientists now believe that many of mankind's most vexing illnesses may be treated more effectively than ever before by fortifying the Vagus Nerve.
"The health benefits of using living organisms in dietary supplements specifically tailored to support the optimal function of the Vagus Nerve is simply monumental," said Dr. Ferrara. "Studies by researchers around the world about the importance of the Vagus Nerve to our wellbeing continue to support our own findings that nourishing the body's nerve cells, especially in the Vagus Nerve, has a direct ability to restore the human immune system to peak performance."
Many in the alternative medicine community believe that the important role the Vagus Nerve plays in human physiology has been ignored for far too long. According to practitioners currently using neuro nutrition, supporting the body's innate ability to self-heal and repel illness creates the ideal conditions for optimal health.
"Without doubt, nourishing the brain and Vagus Nerve holds the key to many aspects of maintaining good health," commented Dr. Paul Yanick, author of "Quantum Medicine: A Guide to the New Medicine of the 21st Century", considered by many to be a contemporary classic in the field of alternative health care. "Yet incredibly, its dysfunction is rarely addressed clinically. Fortunately, advances such as neuro nutrition and the new breed of food supplements based on the principles of Quantum Medicine are delivering unique and effective nutritive solutions for health care providers and consumers."
Vagus nerve
Why the Vagus Nerve Is Central to Human Health: The Vagus Nerve is the longest of twelve pairs that originate in the brain, serving as the brain's central command in the fight against stress, inflammation and toxicity. The Vagus Nerve regulates our "fight or flight" response, digestion, detoxification, various aspects of heart rate and blood pressure and more.
Potential Benefits of Neuro Nutrition on the Vagus Nerve: When we nourish the master health control mechanism in the body, we can expect to see an improvement in all aspects of human health, including digestion, detoxification, immune function and better control of inflammation and stress. This can lead to increased energy, less fatigue, improved absorption of nutrients and enhanced vitality and wellbeing*.
Nourishing the cells of the brain and nervous system also has potential benefits for those suffering from brain or neurological dysfunction, including fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ADD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, insomnia, memory loss, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and more*.
"As further studies are conducted on the functions of the Vagus Nerve and polar lipids, we think it will become broadly accepted that using naturally occurring, super food concentrates to nourish cranial nerve function is absolutely essential for good health," Dr. Ferrara added. "To counteract the stresses and toxins we're exposed to on a daily basis, neuro-nutrients are a must for anyone interested in supporting the brain and Vagus Nerve and improving their health."

This is an interesting and provocative article, but not supported by specific published research, well not disclosed here anyway.
But the general thrust is if you want to avoid relying on such treatments look after your general and brain health by nourishing the Vagus nerve.
They may well be right but much alternative medicine is not supported by stringent research and here the thought of redressing society's ills does not attract the attention it deserves, but unless and until we can motivate people in that direction, the necessity for downing supplements in the hope that they may help will continue.
