The Raw Truth
Jordan Rubin
The Raw Truth by Jordan Rubin is a great introduction to Real Alternative Health. Mr. Rubin documents the work of Dr. Bernard Jensen PhD and D. C. and detoxification for better health.
Endre "Andy" Szale pioneered the development to infusion nutrients into single cell organisms to create vitamins and minerals that aren't isolated synthetics, but are totally raw in a whole food form.
This may seem like an easy task on the surface, but it was an extremely daunting process to find the key for this to work. After long days of trial an error Andy decided to use bakers yeast that same type that is on grocery store shelves. It is a single celled organism that can be grown in a controlled environment hydroponically or in water.
Andy discovered that when he fed the yeast nutrients in their appropriate form, the nutrients passed through the cell walls of the yeast and reacted with the protein of the yeast. Once this happened it became part of the yeast.
Andy learned through trial and error that each vitamin and mineral had its own specific protein sequence or peptide that allowed the vitamin or mineral to pass through the yeast cell wall and embedded within the food. There was not universal protein or peptide that worked for every nutrient.
It took Andy many years of research to determine the protein or peptide for each vitamin or mineral to grow a whole food nutrient. Yeast is food and the nutrients became a part of the yeast. As the yeast grew and multiplied the nutrient was replicated as part of the yeast.
This took literally thousands of tests and many years to develop a whole spectrum of nutrients in the form of food.

I highly recommended these brands, Vitamin Code and New Chapter. Both companies offer supplements based on food matrix type of supplements that the body can use much more efficiently. Mega Foods offers similar products, but I have not used them so I do not know how well they work.
