Be Healthy is an independent consultancy and
distribution partnership created by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD., and her
partner Peter Campbell-McBride. Natasha is a fully qualified medical doctor with
a special interest in human nutrition, and Peter has devoted his career to
medical information management.
There is without doubt a vital connection
between many medical conditions and disorders and the nutrition of the patient.
If we put wrong or inadequate fuel in our bodies, they will cease to function
normally and symptoms of disorder will be the result. Much to Dr.
Campbell-McBride's surprise, very few doctors had bothered to research this
connection, preferring instead to rely on the traditional diagnoses and
treatment with drugs. Let us make it quite clear here and now, we are not saying
that all medical conditions can be treated without drugs. We are saying that
many conditions can be avoided and their symptoms reduced by following the
principals of proper nutrition.
Frankly, the food most of us eat is chosen for
convenience and taste alone without any consideration as to whether it is good
for us or not. It really is amazing that we will take better care of our cars
and houses than we will of our bodies. If someone told us to put cheap dirty
fuel into our cars which would probably destroy the engine, we would react with
disbelief at such an outrageous idea, and yet we do it every day to our bodies.
Modern foods are processed from the minute
they begin their place in nature. In the soil they are bombarded with
pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides most of which stay on or in the food
right through to the point that you eat it. Animal products are treated with
hormones, antibiotics, and synthetic stimulants to enhance growth and therefor
increase their value at market. To preserve them through their life on the shelf
they are treated with preservatives. To enhance their flavour and colour they
are pumped full of other chemicals which have no place in nutrition. These also
finish up inside you. Your body needs a regular supply of essential nutrients
which are missing in these modern foods. It needs a large and well balanced
variety of minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients to combat these unwanted
ingredients, and to strengthen the body against failure to function normally.
It is with these facts in mind that Dr.
Campbell-McBride advises her patients in private practice, and now wants to
respect your right to know them as well. She has researched many of the so
called "food supplements" that are on the market, and is dismayed at
how useless many of them are. The nutritional advice you are offered in the high
street health food shops is frequently inadequate. Ask yourself, what training
in nutrition has the average health food shop assistant had? Probably none! And
yet as a nation we are spending over £650M a year on these products based on
what an untrained person "suggests". Doesn't make a lot of sense, does
it?
We will make you a promise here and now. If a
product appears in the pages of this information web site, it is because we have
thoroughly researched it's capabilities, checked out the claims of it's
producer, and most importantly used it ourselves and verified the testimonials
of others. We will recommend and supply nothing unless it meets these criteria.
Please select from the menu to the left to
review the products, read the latest news on nutrition, contact us for advice or
more information, and to order products that you need. Remember, it is every
individuals right to know the facts that effect their lives, and we need more
people like us to make that possible. If you are interested in joining with us
