INTRODUCTION

In my family, Sunday night is our weekly shopping excursion to Wal-Mart. Thanks to empty aisles, my kids can tear through the store without getting on other shoppers nerves. And I can search for deals on electronics and supplements. On one shopping trip several months ago, as I stared at the never-ending, behemoth supplement aisle in Wal-Mart, my wife nudged me and said, These supplements suck.

Really? Why do you think that? I asked.

Well, theyre cheap. And I bet theyre filled with crap.

Not true. I responded. There are at least ten lifesaving supplements herewith great puritythat are being sold inexpensively. Ill prove it to you. Try a couple of my recommendations, and I bet youll see results within thirty days! Theyll boost your energy by preventing common nutritional deficiencies, and as a side benefit, theyll help ramp up your metabolism for bikini season. If it doesnt work, Ill find something else that does.

My wife is never one to turn down a challenge. So she followed my recommendations.

After about twenty-one days, the products I suggested had worked. My wife had more energy, and thanks to some lean, sexy muscle, she fit into her bikini perfectly. She didnt have to stick to rigid diets or abstain from her favorite wine or dessert. She simply used the supplements persistently while following a few simple lifestyle habits to ensure her supplements worked harder for her. You can achieve the same thing. This book makes it easier than ever to use nutritional supplements to revitalize your health in 30 days. In a matter of weeks, youll start feeling and looking great!

Over-the-Counter Natural Cures will do more than teach you about the right supplements. It will also outline exactly how to use them and highlight the safest and most effective doses, as well as the best time to administer. I will also warn you about potentially dangerous supplement-drug interactions, which, according to a study published in the Journalof the American Medical Association, puts more than two million people at risk! And finally, you will learn the true causes of todays most serious health threatslike obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancerand how your supplementscombined with select lifestyle factorscan help you defy them and the effects of premature aging. This book is the culmination of decades of study that began when I was a teenager.

NUTRIENT LOGIC

While most teenage boys were curious about sex, drugs, and rock and roll, I was interested in chemistry, athletics, and rock and roll. Just ask my dad.

What the hell are you swallowing?

Amino acids, I answered while choking down a handful of horse pills.

Amino acids? My father stared slack-jawed at my skinny fourteen-year-old body.

Yeah, amino acids. These are the building blocks of life. Ive been reading about them, I said, pointing to my pile of muscle magazines on the floor. This is how Im going to get buff and smart.

Oh. My dad was visibly dumbfounded. I could tell he was wondering why our family doctor had never mentioned any of this.

At the time, I didnt understand how my dad or his doctor could be clueless about lifes building blocks and their immense health benefits. After all, every living being requires them. But now that I am an organic chemist, its clear. Most people have not discovered what I call nutrient logic.
