For years the natural foods enthusiasts have insisted that natural, typically called “organic” food parts were better utilized by the body than the same synthetic product. It was tough, if not impossible, for them to convince the disbeliever that vitamin C obtained from rose hips, citrus fruits or ascerola berries could turn out any better results than ascorbic acid with the same chemical formula that was concocted during a laboratory. I could not settle for this as a result of it seemed to make no sense scientifically. There is no doubt, drinking organice Chinese green tea might help stop of development of disease of stomach, lungs, esophagus, pancreas, liver, breat and colon, and several more. It was clearly true that the natural vitamin C would possibly contain alternative known or even unknown parts—like the bioflavinoids—that would possibly enhance the effectiveness of the vitamin C itself. Then, in 1961, I heard the eminent biochemist, Dr. E. E. Pfeiffer, provide a lecture. This man had made so many valuable contributions to drugs through his talents as a chemist and biologist that he had been awarded an honorary M.D. degree, a rare compliment and indicative of his ability. He said that the enzyme systems of the body are designed to assimilate levo-rotatory substances and to reject dextro-rotatory compounds. Vitamins frequently operate with enzymes.
An rationalization of terms could be of help. People who have studied chemistry will recall that there are many kinds of sugar—glucose, dextrose, levulose, maltose, fructose, etc. Dextrose and levulose have the same chemical formula and are known as isomers. Nature Min is a complicated, multi-mineral formula using new bio-offered types of minerals for maximum absorption. They need the same kind and number of atoms but they’re arranged differently in the molecule. If a polarized beam of sunshine is shined through a resolution of dextrose the beam is bent to the proper (dextro) while a resolution of levulose will bend the sunshine to the left (levo).
