A "First Things First"
Approach to Health Restoration

By Don Bennett, DAS

As with any abnormal physiological or psychological functioning, a "first things first" approach should be taken as opposed to a "do this to deal with that" approach. So I'd first assess and correct any nutritional deficiencies, especially the "Big 3", and then, to deal with those deficiencies that a person may have that can't be adequately tested for, I'd consume something like Daily Green Boost (in a meaningful quantity since most people are probably dealing with some nutrient insufficiencies/deficiencies... and I do not sell it).

I'd also look at the other equally important aspects of optimal health (sleep, activity, stress management, sunshine or its equivalent but not a D supplement, etc). Then give these improvements time to work.

Of course, symptoms should be looked at on a case-by-case basis; some symptoms may warrant special testing to rule out a serious underlying condition, and some symptoms are not a sign of something serious, just a sign of a body operating sub-optimally. Medical professionals can be used for some of the tests, and for other tests that they don't do as part of their standard-of-care, seek the counsel of someone who does. For example, as part of the Problematic Nutrient Testing counseling I do, I test D, B12, and iodine, the "Big 3" I referred to above. Because of how they're trained, most doctors don't test and/or assess these nutrients properly, and these are the deficiencies that plague most people – even vegans and raw vegans – and there are good reasons for this (talked about in this article).
