The Principles Good Health is based upon Healthy Cells
1. Health and disease are determined on the level of millions of cells which compose our body and its organs.
2. Vitamins and other essential nutrients are needed for thousands of biochemical reactions in each cell. Chronic deficiency of these vitamins and other essential nutrients is the most frequent cause of malfunction of millions of body cells and the primary cause of cardiovascular disease and other diseases.
3. Cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent diseases because cardiovascular cells consume vitamins and other essential nutrients at a high rate due to the mechanical stress on the heart and the blood vessel wall from the heartbeat and the pulse wave.
4. Optimum dietary supplementation of vitamins and other essential nutrients is the key to prevention and effective treatment of cardiovascular disease, as well as other chronic health conditions.
"The primary, and by far the most frequent, cause of malfunctioning of cells is a chronic deficiency of essential nutrients, in particular of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and trace elements. These essential nutrients are needed for a multitude of biochemical reactions and other cellular functions in every single cell of our body. Chronic deficiencies of one or more of these essential nutrients, therefore, must lead to cellular malfunctioning and to disease."

The Cell Essentials
The components of a Broad-Spectrum Micro-Nutrient Program (vitamins and minerals etc) are an essential part of the biological fuel we have to provide regularly to our bodies. The other biological fuels are well known: air (oxygen), water, regular nutrition (composed of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates). There is a distinct characteristic setting vitamins apart from air, water, and food: a lack of vitamins and other essential nutrients does not give any alarm signs. Oxygen deficiency, for example, leads within minutes to the alarm sign of suffocation. Water deficiency’s alarm sign is “thirst.” Lack of food causes hunger.

In contrast, a deficiency of vitamins and other essential nutrients, the carriers of energy, do not give any alarm signs in the body. The first sign of a vitamin deficiency is the outbreak of a disease. A total depletion of vitamins, such as that in scurvy, leads to death within months. Since we all get small amounts of vitamins and other essential nutrients, we generally do not suffer from a total depletion.
Most of us, however, suffer from a chronic deficiency of vitamins and other essential nutrients. Since deficiencies of these essential nutrients do not give any immediate alarm signs, they continue to be unrecognized and masked for many years. In many cases, the first sign of chronic vitamin deficiency is a heart attack or the outbreak of another disease. Thus, since our body does not give us any alarm signs, the best way we can avoid deficiencies in cellular energy is an optimum daily supplementation of broad-spectrum bio-available nutrients.
