Hi. I'm Dave, a Nutraceuticals fan, former pre-Medicine major and lifelong Christian. As u may know, nutraceuticals are basically food-based pharmaceuticals. Most nutraceuticals are derived from plants. In this regard, the use of nutraceuticals is biblically-based because the scriptures cite plants for use as both food and for healing [i]. The use of nutraceuticals embodies at least three biblical principles: 1 Stewardship of ones body/"the temple of the Holy Spirit". Modern medicine tends to be prescriptive & complex, whereas that old "Good book that's irrelevant to modern life" [and often collects dust unread] emphasizes simple Prevention using natural substances. 2 Moderation Nutraceuticals extract specific healthy compounds [eg antioxidants or thymol] from food, enabling you to get their health benefits w/o overeating [= prelude to the sin of gluttony] 3 Arguably the first recorded clinical trial of “food as medicine" is found in the Old Testament book of Daniel. As some readers may recall from another “kool school”/skool -Sunday School- Daniel and his Jewish pals Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were captured by King Nebuchadnezzar. Among other refusals by these young Jewish noblemen while they served the king, they refused to eat the rich food of the king’s royal court! Instead, they requested a 10 day “trial” of vegetables, grains and water. Afterwards, the king observed his Jewish captives were healthier and stronger than his other servants in the royal court. DJ opines: Jehovah Gireh knew what He was doing when he inspired the prophets to write in the Bible [in Genesis, Ezekiel and Proverbs] that a plant-based diet is best for humans. Curious readers who have access to both a general MD [ii] and a team of specialist MDs [includes a Cardiologist and Gastroenterologist] may want to slowly and safely experiment w/ these non-FDA approved nutraceuticals, under the supervision of your team of MDs. It takes $$$, large #s of patients and time for drug companies [iii] to do proper double-blind studies. And although some of the nutraceuticals in the attached photos have been thoroughly studied, they're not FDA-approved pharmaceuticals. And that can be fine, as many are natural plant-based substances that produce no profit for "Big Pharma", Biotech nor Generic drug makers! Bottom line: the use of these Nutraceuticals s/b individualized for ones particular Medical Conditions, Age, Exercise routine [or lack thereof] and ones general Health.

appending the comment I made today: Providing some proofs for the comment made re Nutraceuticals for ones Health, my latest Blood Pressure and "Blood Work" readings are attached. This and other favorable readings fr my Blood Work are the result of regular Exercise, quality Sleep, a quality team of MDs, quality Diet that includes nutraceuticals and a strong prayer life.
