In today's world we, at Lewis Laboratories, are convinced that both man and animal have moved so far away from natural nutrition that every species needs proper supplementation. We are dedicated to formulating the finest products to provide this. Our products take into account the synergistic interaction between nutritional factors and the fact that each one provides the proportionate nutritional balance for maximum benefit.

SICKNESS, HEALTH AND NUTRITION

No one today doubts the connection between good nutrition and good health. Yet, because nutrition is such a new science, nutrition and preventative medicine are not taught in most American medical schools. Doctors are not trained in nutrition even though scientists know nutritional deficiencies are at the root of hundreds of different illnesses and that natural resistance to disease, resulting from balanced nutrition, is the best way to stay healthy. Our doctors are trained to treat sickness, not to prevent it. In ancient China, villagers paid their doctors a regular fee to keep them healthy. If they got sick, they stopped paying until they recovered. Wouldn't it be nice if our doctors had such an incentive plan?

TODAY, JUST STAYING WELL IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

In our society, many people suffer from mental depression or lack of energy and stamina. They are alive but not living. In many cases, these problems can be traced and corrected by improving the nutritional balance in the diet. Until recently, what has not been fully appreciated is the inter-relationship between nutritional factors.

SYNERGISM

This is a big word. It simply means that the effect of nutrients taken together is greater than when taken separately. Not one of the nutritional factors we need each day works alone – they all interact with each other. In many cases, a single nutrient cannot be used at all in the absence of another! Interaction is essential for the body to produce the estimated 10,000 compounds it makes which are required to keep one healthy, happy and active. We are convinced that the best nutritional supplement is the most complete one.

UNKNOWN NUTRITIONAL FACTORS

As much as we have learned in the last few years about the science of nutrition, we believe we have only scratched the surface. There are many more mysteries in natural food than we have even yet suspected. That is why we have chosen the richest natural food sources in all our products. For example, one of the ingredients we use, wheat-germ oil, was tested on 894 subjects under controlled conditions and analyzed at the University of Illinois by Dr. Thomas K. Cureton, Ph.D. He concluded, “the results show statistically significant effects on several types of endurance performances, total body reaction times, basal metabolism and oxygen intake tests”.  We use wheat-germ oil primarily for its Vitamin E content, which is just one reason we prefer natural sources to chemical additives.

In theory, you could probably make the chemical equivalents of most of our products cheaper, and perhaps more easily, based on known nutritional factors. However, it would be a mistake to think they would be the same superior products. The natural ingredients we use are like an insurance policy against unforeseen health concerns. If you are buying fire insurance, you want insurance for any kind of fire, not just those that the experts regard as important.

The human body is a fantastic machine with incredible resilience. All you need to do is take a little care to be sure it gets the essential nutrients it cannot synthesize for itself. There is probably nothing more rewarding you can do for yourself than to make the effort to develop your own special program for better health with the superior, high quality supplements from Lewis Laboratories International, Ltd.
