If you're familiar with my position on herbs being foods and not drugs or other synthetic agents, then you should know my position on the government-sponsored RDA
The Recommended Dietary Allowance or RDA (sometimes referred to as Recommended Daily Allowance) is defined as "the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (approximately 98 percent) healthy individuals".
This flawed scale and its figures were first invented in 1947. However, it wasn't until 1974 when introducing the new revision of the RDA that a Dr. Alfred E. Harper, the then Chairman of the Committee on Dietary Allowances, Food and Nutrition Board said "...However requirements differ with age and body size; among individuals of the same body size owning to differences in genetic makeup; with the physiologic state of individuals - growth rate, pregnancy, lactation; and with sex."
Government originally created the RDA based off of middle-aged White men (45 years of age) and gave it to the whole society (women, children, teenagers, elders, etc.; Blacks, Whites, Asian, Latino, etc.) as a "one size fits all" RDA.
Certain uniformed individuals who have been inculcated in institutions of higher brainwashing and thus mentally lobotomized, believe that having and selling single herbal compounds is dangerous, as if herbs are like pharmaceutical drugs and synthetic vitamins and minerals and thus require dosage pursuant to RDA.
Well, if this "one size fit all" bill is dangerous pertaining to herbs, as some uninformed individuals believe, how come it didn't apply to pharmaceutical grade supplements and the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) from 1947 to 1974"?
When I personally deal with people on a one-on-one basis, I take their age, sex/gender, race or nationality (Ethnicity), and astrology sign into consideration when dealing with them. I'm wholistic in my approach to healing. Even the modern RDA takes this into consideration:
"...However requirements differ with age and body size; among individuals of the same body size owning to differences in genetic makeup; with the physiologic state of individuals - growth rate, pregnancy, lactation; and with sex."
You can't tell everybody to consume the same amount of supplemental Calcium (unless it's natural (organic) Calcium. You just can't do that. Supplemental Calcium is inorganic and thus technically a drug and therefore dosage is important.
White women need more supplemental Calcium than Black women and Black women need more Iron than White women. I practice Ethno-botany or Ethno-chemistry. You see, when White people come to me for my health services, I keep in mind their race or nationality and suggest herbal formulations based upon the biogenetic makeup and nutritional needs. This isn't racism! It's ethno-chemistry! And it has nothing to do with dosage either. It has all to do with dietary or nutritional needs.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend for a White or Asian woman what I would recommend for a Black or African woman. You must take into consideration bio-genetic makeup (or ethno-characteristics). Why do you think only Blacks suffer from exclusive (or endemic) diseases, e.g. sarcoidosis, sickle cell, scleroderma, etc. and other races don't?
Why do you think Jews or Jewish people suffer from certain diseases e.g., Hemophilia, that other nationalities and ethnicities of people don't (or to the same degree)?
Why do you think White women suffer more from osteoporosis than any other race, ethnicity, or nationality of women?
Again, you must take into consideration bio-genetic makeup (or ethno-characteristics).
And we must also consider this fact: that every person born under a different astrology sign has a required cell salt and need more of it than people born under the other 11 signs.
The reason why commercial nutritional supplements list milligrams (or micromilligrams) on the labels is because these vitamin and mineral supplements are made from OXIDES (stones and metals), which are POISONOUS, so milligrams and dosage is warranted by law. They are synthetic and by law can be called a real nutrient predicated upon matching molecular structure (of a real organic substance) under a microscope.
You can't just let people take poison in any dosage. You have to monitor the dosage so that's why when you take a pharmaceutical pill (drug) you read on the bottle: "Adults, take 2 tablets. Children take half a tablet." You are told this because you are dealing with poison.
How can you take a Vitamin C supplement when the ingredient on the bottle or jar states "Ascorbic Acid" as the main ingredient?
Ascorbic acid, absent a food source, e.g. Camu, Hibsicus, Rose Hip, Acerola, etc is a DRUG! A chemical!
Nature does not produce anything in mono-structured form. There is no ascorbic acid plant! Vitamin C comes from a plant (or fruit), not Citric Acid.
The top 3 highest and richest sources of Vitamin C are: 1. Camu (fruit), 2. Amalaki (fruit), and Acerola and all of these fruit-based sources of Vitamin C are ingredients in Dherbs.com Vitamin C Formula. Go study the ingredient list of Dherbs.com Vitamin C formula!
Again, Vitamin C must come from a PLANT or FRUIT! It cannot be made in a laboratory by man! Nature is the true pharmacist. Not man!
Pharmaceutical companies are also producing nutritional supplements these days. You can't trust Big Pharma! It still amazes me that many people still consume pharmaceutical drugs.
You ought to know you're taking poison anytime there's a warning on the bottle telling you: "IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE CONTACT A POSION CONTROL CENTER."
If you're taking medicine (pharmaceutical drugs) or health supplements, why would you be contacting a "poison control center?" Shouldn't you be contacting a "medicine control center" or "nutritional supplement control center?" Nope! They got folks contacting a poison control center because they know the dumb masses are consuming poison. That's why!
Dherbs.com only lists dosage (on our labels as "Directions") because we understand the successful programming of people in the Matrix and when we didn't list dosage (how many capsules to take) on our formulas, people were calling us daily asking us how many capsules to take.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, I realized the majority of people (especially in the U.S.) are unable (or unwilling) to think for themselves and need orders, rules, or instructions. Sad but true! Luckily, not all of us here in the U.S. are in this category and there are plenty of critical thinkers in many European nations.
Therefore, I obliged here in this respect and started listing a basic dosage (e.g., take 3 capsules) on the formulas and compounds (only to help people out) though you can really take as many as you like as again, herbs are food and you can't overdose on food.
However, too many people see herbs and drugs as the same thing and think they will harm themselves by taking too many herbs (food); but what people don't know is that you can't overdose on REAL FOOD!
You can't overdose on eating bananas or oranges. You can only overdose on pharmaceutical drugs and certain synthetic vitamin and mineral supplements that folks like the likes of Makeda Voletta unwisely promote, e.g. Vitamin A, Vitamin D, etc and you can't blame her for this misinformation because she's the product of higher lobotamization (schooling). She was programmed with the information she espouses as were thousands of others.
Now think about it! How in the hell is man going to make something your body allegedly needs that God didn't or doesn't provide? This is foolishness (in my opinion)!
Oh, so you need the nutrient, but God didn't make it or provide it for you but man (corporation) makes up for God's shortcoming! This is absurd!
Any nutrient found in an animal was derived from plants, and that's why meat-eaters allegedly eat animals - for the nutrients (that the animal derived from a plant). I told you man was backwards and that's why the planet and the people of it, generally-speaking, are messed up and are sick and suffering. Man (and woman) live against the Tao!
Bush people (herbalists, shamans, medicine men/women) do not list RDA or individual herbal amount on their formulations. There is no need to as herbs are food.
Too many people are at odds with God and Nature and don't even know it. Heck, even your Scripture tells the Christian (believer) that: "herbs (leaves) shall be for medicine" (Ezekiel 47:12) and "for the healing of the people or nations" (Revelation 22:2). Psalm 104:14 tells the religious man and woman that "God created the herbs for the service of man." And this is just for the religious person perusing this article.
It (Scripture) doesn't mention the White man (or any other man for that matter), a corporation, the FDA or a university. God created the herbs, not man!
Let us not forget that the original drug was a HERB! The word "drug" derives from the Old French word "Drogue" meaning "dried plant" and your pharmaceutical drugs all originally derived from herbs, but we all know a pharmaceutical drug or even a vitamin and/or mineral supplement (e.g. Vitamin D3) is not a "dried plant."
Your drugs originate from herbs (plants)! Don't think so? Please reference the following for your botanical edification:
THC: Cannabis
Sudafed: Ephedrine (Ephedra)
Birth Control: Dioscegenin (Wild Yam Root)
Morphine: [Heroin, Opium]: Poppy
Aspirin: (Willow Bark and Meadowsweet)
Ex-Lax: Senna
LSD: Ergot
Digitalis: Lily of the Valley, Foxglove, Hellebore
Taxol: Taxus Brevifolia (Yew Tips)
Valium: Valerian Root
Caffeine: Kola Nut, Green Tea, Black Tea, Yerba Mate, Guarana
Cocaine: Coca Leaf
Yohimbine: Yohimbe
Atropine: Nightshade (cardiac sedative, pupilary dilator)
Quinine: Magnolia, Dogwood, Cinchona
Codeine: Wild Cherry Bark
Salicin: Willow Bark, Meadowsweet, Balm of Gilead (Poplar), Wintergreen
Menthol: Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Wintergreen, Spearmint
The TRUE medicine or drug is a DRIED PLANT and that's what Dherbs.com sells. 100% pure dried plant and absolutely no preservatives, binders, fillers, etc.
You don't need RDA for real food. No animal in the wild is concerned about an RDA. Rabbits are not concerned about how much Beta Carotene they are getting when eating carrots. Plus, no carrot lists a calibration chart of nutrients on it that you can read before eating it.
Leaves don't list dosages on them telling you how much of certain nutrients you are receiving by eating the leaf. You just don't see this in Nature.
Hippocrates (which was really not a man, but a secret order of healers dedicated to Imhotep) told you: "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food."
Now here is wisdom: Herbs are food, and again, no food has a calibration chart on it. No carrot will tell you: "Eat 2 daily!" Or, "I contain 200 mg of Beta Carotene or Vitamin A." You will not find this written on a carrot.
You can't find written on a green leaf of any plant: "2,000 mg of calcium!" Or, "1,000 mg of chlorophyll."
Nature does not list amounts of any nutrient in anything we eat that is food. Food comes from Nature! Food is not murdered, stunned in the head with a bolt gun, de-beaked, de-winged, etc. Some of these aggressive meat-eaters and sympathizers of meat-eaters like to say that vegans and raw foodists are hypocrites because they kill plants by eating them. Now clearly this is a political statement because it is only directed at vegans and raw foodists clearly showing the bias that meat-eaters and their sympathizers have against vegans and raw foodists who simply make meat-eaters feel insecure in their consumption of dead animal flesh because meat-eaters deep down inside know the practice is savage (judging from the status of original man and woman) and harms innocent sentient beings all so they can satisfy their palates under the false pretenses of deriving protein and nutrients which is a gigantic myth.
The statement is political and biased against vegans and raw foodists because meat-eaters have never stood in defense of plants pertaining to animals and insects who eat plants, nor have they ever said a peep about grass being killed when it is lawn mowed. Plants are only being killed when humans who are vegan and/or raw foodist eat them.
The argument is very childish, because as I state in my article "Are Vegans and Raw Foodists Killing Plants By Eating Them?":
"In my personal opinion "least harm done to the planet" is why people should eat a plant-based (vegan and raw foods diet) instead of an animal-based diet, well, to people who are conscious and care about what's going on ecology-wise. We can eat all the plants we want to and still will not throw off the Earth's balance; but we just can't say this with consuming animals products whose industries are doing serious harm to Mother Earth."
There's clearly more harm in raising, killing, and eating animals for food than eating plants, or for the technical people, eating air (oxygen). Yes, certain people out there believe that we are killing air molecules by breathing in air. This is their anemic and lethargic defense to justify their eating of poor, innocent sentient beings called animals all because they like the texture and taste of cooked animal carcass and cadaver.
There's a Law of Reciprocity in existence and this is shown via the seed that all fruits of plants (including trees) contain! What is removed is replaced in Nature. When you kill an animal, LIGHTS OUT! That's it! Animals don't contain seeds within them that allow for 100 more creatures to return in their stead.
Plus, raising all these animals for food creates an eco-imbalance and it's all done for profit, not to mention causing world starvation. Consider the following statistics:
1,000 acres of non-GMO soybeans yield 1,124 pounds of usable protein.
1,000 acres of rice yield 938 pounds of usable protein.
1,000 acres of wheat yield 1,042 pounds of usable protein.
Now consider the following:
1,000 acres of non-GMO soybeans, corn, rice or wheat, when fed to a steer, will yield only about 125 pounds of usable protein. These and other findings point to a disturbing conclusion: meat eating is directly related to world hunger (starvation). "Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them, the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger." - John Denver.
If we fed the same supply of grain and non-GMO soy (along with rations of Moringa and Spirulina and Chlorella) supply to the poor and starving people of the world that we feed to livestock, we could wipe out world starvation in no time at all. So what's more important: solving world starvation or satisfying our palate by eating what we don't have to eat? After all, think about it - we don't have to eat animals and can live without eating animals:
"I do not see any reason why animals should be slaughtered to serve as human diet when there are so many substitutes. After all, man can live without meat." The Dalai Lama.
All diets beneath the solar-tarian (or breatharian) diet, are degenerate, being technical, but you would think people would want to evolve, rise, progress, advance, e.g. eating meat (carnivore), then eating plants/grass (herbivore), then eating fruits (frugavore), then consuming water (hydro-tarian), and then eating oxygen (oxygenarian) and solar energy, right?
If we agree, being technical (as many meat-eaters like to get in defense of eating meat) that all things have life and we are harming other "living" things to sustain ourselves and to survive, then the only intelligent and compassionate point left would be "to do the least amount of harm as you work your way back up to a state of originality (solar-tarian)."
Okay, to close out this article and get back on track: No banana tells you that it contains "500 mg of Potassium." The only creature who must be told anything is man (man/woman) because he/she is in the dark compared to everything else in Nature.
No animal in the wild is concerned about how much of a nutrient it is getting when it eats a fruits, plant, nut, etc.
Do people who smoke inquire about how many milligrams of nicotine they are getting per cigarette they smoke, or how many milligrams of civet cat absolute (civet cat booty juice) they're getting per smoke?
All numbers come from man and man controls us with NUMBERS, e.g. Social Security number, Driver's License number, Vehicle Registration number, Employer Identification Number, Tax Payer ID Number, bank PIN, etc.
Man is also doing the same thing with food, e.g. Calcium 2,000 mg, Potassium 500 mg, Zinc 30 mg. - controlling people's health via numbers!
Milligrams wasn't a concern some 200 years ago and people weren't as sick as they are today either. RDA was created (by government) and now people are sicker than ever and more worried than ever (thinking they are always lacking in something). RDA is tied into LACK CONSCIOUSNESS and goes back to FEAR CONSCIOUSNESS!
Numbers are used to control here in the Matrix! Look at all the slaves who are controlled by the numbers of their blood pressure, insulin levels, glycemic levels, BMI, etc. Freaking out if numbers rise too high or go to low! Straight CONTROL!
"Man, my blood pressure went up, I betta go to the hospital!" This is a way to get the ignorant American masses to continue going to hospitals (butcher shops) and being prescribed more drugs, which kill over 1 million American slaves yearly!
Now since government (male politicians) created the RDA chart, who gave them the authority to tell people how much of a certain nutrient they should consume daily? Since when did politicians become authorities on diet, health, and nutrition?
The FDA Act governs food, medicine, and cosmetics here in the U.S. but the FDA Act was legislated by the U.S. Congress and how many Congress men/women have a degree in nutrition, diet, and/or health? How did members of Congress become experts on health?
Again, you can't overdose off of food like you can drugs.
Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you this: government is working on changing the RDA again, but this time in name, to the DRI, which stands for Dietary Reference Intake.
Please reference the following:
"RDA, or known by its full name - Recommended Daily Allowance - is busy being revised and will be called the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) and is a collaborative effort between the USA and Canada."
Well, that's government for you! Always changing things, well, for it's own good and not necessarily its citizens.
Thank you for reading!
