VITAMINS & HERBS

On our journey through healthy living our view point on supplementing with vitamins and herbs changed occasionally. Before becoming raw we took different herbs and vitamins usually to treat a cold or some specific health issue. When we became 100% raw foodists, we adopted a philosophy that we were getting all of our nutrients from our food, and because we we were eating a very healthy cleansing diet, we didn't find ourselves suffering from any issues, allergies we no longer an issue, we didn't get sick or suffer from acid reflux or some of the previous issues we had before. After about 2 1/2 years Sean started to notice that his energy levels were lower than before, and he started to question why that may be. After doing a lot of research, he realized that even though he and Kim were eating a raw vegan organic diet there are issues about the food grown in this country, that even with high organic regulations, our foods are still deficient of the minerals and vitamins that we need. There is also some issues about the fact that plant cellulose protects nutrients in the food and that we don't have the ability to break down and extract all the nutrients from the food.
