Supplements: During the course of our practice, we discovered that a particular complaint, regardless of its nature, was often due to a nutritional or mineral deficiency of some sort. With the addition of supplements, a particular health problem/sickness is not only addressed but the overall general well being of the patient is improved. During the course of the past 7; years, we have seen more than 8000+ patients. The greater majority have an abdominal disorder of some sort. It is simplistic and naïve to think that with a magnitude of health problems, we can help them with one or two treatments or a simple adjustment in dietary routine. In such circumstances, a wide variety of supplements are often required to detoxify the body, and to help the body to heal. Many people had been on prescribed medication for years and had not been helped. As a last resort, they tried another form of alternative medicine and had not been helped either! We will now make an effort to persuade you as to why nutritional supplements play a critical role in health maintenance.

Indeed, many diseases are largely preventable by making life style choices including exercises, a sound diet and nutritional therapy. Many people, including doctorsview aging, low energy, poor memory, low libido, (low sex drive) chronic pain etc as a sign of aging. We take a different view. These could be signs of chronic illness and are easily reversible with good supplements and dietary adjustment.

It is probably safe to say that our complete health is the sum total of the health of our individual organs and glands. When we are ill, it is because our organs and glands cannot function at their ideal levels either individually or collectively. Diet and supplements have an important influence on our health of our glands and organs and interact directly with our genetics. Good nutrition can help you attain the genetic potential of your organs and glands in terms of their highest level of functioning. When your nutrition is not adequate, then your glands and organs cannot receive the specific nutrients that they require. Among the many consequences of such deficiencies are an increased susceptibility to infection and also an inability to deal with stress and an overall degeneration of the body.

Another factor that affects health is the process of ageing. As we grow older, many of our nutritional requirements increase. Also, our glands and organs do not function as well as they did when we were younger. Organs and glands will even begin to atrophy. That is why we generally become more susceptible to degenerative and infectious diseases as we age.

Supplements and digestive enzymes are connected to every working organ in our body and thus run our life’s processes. In essence, this is what total body healing is all about

Quantity and Quality

Supplements may appear somewhat expensive, but considering the months or even years of the suffering with pain or illness, supplements are often a very small price to pay. Furthermore, it is often a one time deal, meaning that the patient may not have to consume all the supplements forever. We usually start the patient on high dosage to “jump start” the treatment of the body. When that is achieved the dosage can be reduced during the second course onwards and then from the third course onward the dosage will be maintained at a reduced level. Not all recommended supplements will be required at this stage. There are many people who buy a single supplement such as Echinacea, cod liver oil or evening primrose oil, glucosamine sulphate from a pharmacy thinking that these are “miracle” pills and that their ailments will go away. These people are often sadly mistaken. At Beyond Medicine, we pride ourselves as having the skills and expertise to blend and to recommend the appropriate types of supplements not only to combat a disease but to improve the general health’s condition. People who resort to health supplements very often have a health condition of many years. No single supplement on its own is strong enough to handle a multitude of problems inside the human body. Routinely, we recommend supplements to oxygenate the cells, detoxify the liver, enhance the liver’s functions, reduce the inflammatory process, minimise acidic level and to lubricate the system. Many people get a sharp reversal from bad health after trying our supplements for a week. We do urge our patients to consider certain selected supplements on maintenance dosage for general health enhancement even after their problems have been addressed.Cautionary Note: Supplements in themselves do not have direct healing benefits but they nourish the body which in turn will heal itself. It is the body that is able to heal itself.

THE NEED FOR PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE OF SUPPLEMENTS/ENZYMES

The food that we eat nowadays is very much different from the food that we ate ten or more years ago. The soil has become depleted of the increased use of pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals thus reducing the nutrients in our food. The meats that we consume daily are also contaminated by growth hormone and antibiotics. We eat what the animals are fed. Besides, more preservatives that are often harmful to our health are added.

Even with the best organic diet, it’s virtually impossible to get all the nutrients your body needs from food. Organic isn’t truly organic anymore.

Unless it is genetic, research has shown that a weak immune system is linked to most forms of cancers. A high dosage of different types of vitamins and enzymes will reduce this risk! Our cells also need increased protection from free radical damage which can lead to cancer. Vitamins such as Vitamin A, C, E, zinc, selenium, co-enzyme Q10, alpha lipoic acid are the essential antioxidants which detoxify these free radicals and are the body’s major defence against them.

Do be cautious when it comes to cheap vitamins. The majority of vitamins sold are made from synthetic chemicals and are not the same as real vitamins from natural sources. This accounts for the reason why some vitamins are much cheaper whilst others are more expensive. Hence, it is very important to take vitamins only from high end nutritional companies and also to ensure that your vitamins are of pharmaceutical grade! Taking cheap vitamins made of synthetic chemicals can be doing you more harm than good.

Recommended antioxidants and vitamins.

Vitamin A It is a powerful antioxidant. Up to 25,000 I.U. per day can be taken.

Vitamin C. Ensure that your vitamin C is not made from corn. Up to 2,000 mg per day is the recommended dose. However, people with cancer should take at least 4,000 – 5,000 mg per day in divided doses. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and is good for fighting off infection, healing and minimising scar tissues. It can also help to decrease the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

Vitamin E: It is a powerful immune booster. It is known to cause apoptosis or programmed cell death. Up to 1200 IU can be taken per day. Vitamin E works best with Vitamin C and also with selenium.

Zinc: Zinc is not an antioxidant but it helps antioxidants do their job. Zinc is essential in healing and helps recovery from chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. It also protects against free radicals.

Co-Enzyme Q10.. For cancer patients, take up to 600 mg per day. It is an antioxidant which is anti-aging and anti cancer.

Eskimo 3:This is Fish Oil – an essential Fatty aid.. It is a unique stable fish oil supplement containing a healthy balance of the omegas 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Independent studies have rated Eskimo 3 as a superior fish oil.

Metal Lipoate (alpha Lipoic acid) This is a premium grade of alpha lipoic acid. It is renowned for its ability to remove heavy metals. Lipoic cid can support blood sugar metabolism (known for its effect in modulating cholesterol and blood pressure)

N.A.C (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine: NAC is a powerful antioxidant which has been shown to increase glutathione levels. Glutathione synthesis in the liver has the important function in metabolic clearing (liver de-toxification)

Milk Thistle 200. This is a powerful antioxidant and helps in the support of liver function. Works best with N.A.C..

We stock many other products not listed above. The above supplements are from Nutri and also from Lambert. All products are of pharmaceutical grade.

In addition, we carry enzymes from Transformation. These products are again of the highest quality and grade. Have you ever asked yourself “How is it possible that I do not feel well even though I eat organic foods and am very careful with my diet?”, The answer most likely revolves around on ENZYME DEFICIENCY which can manifest itself in a variety of conditions.

Eating a diet that is devoid of enzymes uses up a tremendous amount of innate potential. Enzymes act as a catalyst for energy where every action of our organs and glands needs this energy to work. We receive from the nutrients in our blood. A lack of enzymes could result in a lowered resistance to illness , stress of all types and physiological environments that could lead to a shortened life span. By supplementing cooked foods with enzymes, we can slow down the normal, pathological aging process.

The enzymes that we stock include the following:

Probiotic: helps with chronic constipation, promotes good bacteria in the gut, elimination of intestinal parasites, help with PH and bacterial imbalances

TPP Protease I.F.C . whenever there is pain or an injury, inflammatory process is present. Protease IFC helps with inflammatory control and tissues repair, soft tissue trauma, post operative protocols and muscles pains.

TPP Protease: Helps with weakened immunity, hormonal imbalances and assisting in tissue repairs.

TPP Adrenal Complex: Helps with all aspects of glandular function, reducing stress, help with fatigue and allergic hypersensitivities.

TPP Digest: Helps with indigestion, mal-absorption and food allergies.

Gastrozyme: Helps with gastro intestinal irritation, reflux and heart burn. Complement Digest & Protease.


The list above is not exhaustive. We carry many other enzymes from Transformation – the list is too numerous to describe. No single supplement or enzyme is intended to heal or diagnose any disease. Collectively they enhance the body general physiological and immune systems thus contributing to the healing process.
