When it comes to health and wellness, dietary supplements are often a hot topic of discussion. They’re marketed as the solution to a variety of health concerns, and the sheer volume of options can be overwhelming. I’ve seen it all—countless advertisements, testimonies, and debates about the effectiveness of supplements. But let’s be honest, not everything you hear about dietary supplements is true. I’m here to separate fact from fiction and clear up some of the most common myths out there.
MYTH: Supplements Can Replace a Healthy Diet
One of the biggest myths is that supplements can replace a well-balanced diet. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that taking a handful of pills each day means you don’t have to worry about eating your fruits and vegetables. Trust me, I get it—supplements are convenient! But no matter how high-quality they are, they simply can’t mimic the vast array of nutrients in whole foods. Fresh foods provide fiber, enzymes, antioxidants, and other compounds that supplements can’t fully replicate. Supplements should complement your diet, not replace it.
MYTH: All Supplement Ingredients are Equal
The quality of herbs used in herbal remedies is crucial for their effectiveness. Many herbal products are derived from low-quality herbs grown in depleted soils, which compromises their healing potential. Additionally, some herbal formulas may contain mold and bacteria, undermining their therapeutic benefits and potentially causing inflammation and strain on the immune system.
Herbs, like all natural substances, carry a “life force” or unique informational patterns that can either support or degrade health. This makes it even more essential to know where your herbs are sourced.
Quality is determined by the integrity of the informational pattern within the herb and the preservation of its “life force” or “qi.” These are essential for transmitting healing information to the body. Traditional herbal practices aim to direct this life force through different meridians, influencing specific organs and glands based on principles like the “five elements” in Chinese medicine.
Preserving an herb’s informational integrity and life force depends on soil conditions, natural cultivation methods, and proper harvesting timing. Optimal conditions—rich, healthy soil and mindful cultivation—enhance the quality of the herb. Careful harvesting, drying, and processing ensure the herb retains its potency, maintaining the integrity of its life force or qi.
In essence, herbs lacking in informational integrity and life force—like dried, brown, and sun-scorched leaves—offer minimal medicinal value as their qi dissipates and their informational patterns deteriorate. Therefore, prioritizing high-quality herbs that are cultivated and processed with care is essential to harnessing their full therapeutic potential.
MYTH: Natural Means Safe
The term “natural” has become a marketing buzzword, leading many people to believe that anything labeled as “natural” is automatically safe. This isn’t always the case. Remember that not all natural ingredients are harmless—think about poisonous plants in the wild! Some natural supplements can have side effects, interact with medications, or pose risks for people with certain health conditions.
Always do your research, check for third-party testing, and consult with a healthcare provider before trying something new, no matter how “natural” it claims to be.
MYTH: If a Little is Good, More Must Be Better
More isn’t always better when it comes to supplements. High doses of certain vitamins or minerals can be harmful. For instance, taking too much vitamin A can lead to toxicity, and excessive amounts of iron can be dangerous, especially for those who don’t have a deficiency.
It’s essential to follow dosage recommendations and recognize that your body can only absorb so much at a time. Overloading supplements can strain your system and potentially cause more harm than good.
MYTH: All Supplements are Rigorously Tested
It’s a comforting thought to believe that all supplements on the market are strictly tested and regulated, but this is far from the truth. Unlike prescription medications, dietary supplements don’t require FDA approval before hitting the shelves. Some companies do go the extra mile with third-party testing for quality and purity, but not all do. This is why it’s crucial to buy from reputable brands that prioritize transparency and quality control. Don’t be swayed by flashy packaging—look for brands that provide solid evidence and clarity on what’s inside the bottle.
MYTH: Supplements Work the Same Way for Everyone
We’re all unique—our bodies, our lifestyles, our health histories—so it’s no surprise that supplements don’t have a one-size-fits-all effect. What works wonders for one person might do nothing for another. Factors like age, gender, genetics, and existing health conditions play a huge role in how a supplement affects you. It’s not uncommon for people to feel disheartened when a popular supplement doesn’t give them the promised results. The key is to be patient, experiment under guidance, and focus on finding what works specifically for you.
MYTH: You’ll Feel Results Instantly
Supplements aren’t a magic bullet, and expecting immediate results is setting yourself up for disappointment. Unlike medication, which can provide quick relief, supplements often work more slowly and subtly. It might take weeks or even months to notice the benefits, depending on the supplement and what you’re targeting. Some supplements are more about gradual support and prevention than offering a quick fix. Consistency is key—don’t give up if you don’t see instant changes.
MYTH: If It's On The Shelf, It Must Be Effective
It’s tempting to assume that if a supplement is available in stores, it must be effective, right? Unfortunately, marketing and accessibility don’t always equate to results. Some supplements have impressive studies backing them up, while others rely on clever marketing and trends. It is estimated that up to 95% of supplements don’t work!
Do your research and check if there’s solid science supporting the claims being made. Just because something is trendy or popular doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for your health.
Why Accelerated Health Products Are Different
At Accelerated Health Products, we don’t cut corners; we will only provide the best options on the market.
What sets Accelerated Health Products apart is the uncompromising commitment to quality and integrity that goes into every product from Accelerated Health. These aren’t just the typical supplements—they are crafted with a dedication to potency, synergy, and innovation that genuinely stands out.
High Potency Extracts: Our formulas use 10:1 concentrated extracts or close to it in many of the supplements, meaning each herb’s active compounds are maximized for effectiveness. To put it simply, they concentrate 10 pounds of raw herbs into just one pound of potent, active ingredients. This approach ensures you’re getting the full benefit of each herb in every serving.
Synergistic Blends: The herbs in each formula aren’t just mixed; they’re carefully chosen to work harmoniously. We meticulously test and balance the formulas to make sure each ingredient enhances the others, delivering a powerful, well-rounded solution for overall health.
Rigorous Testing: Accelerated Health Products is deeply committed to purity and potency. Every ingredient in the formulas goes through rigorous testing, so you’re getting nothing but high-quality extracts.
Water Implosion Technology: We use Water Implosion Technology in our liquid supplements—Accelerated Colloidal Silver™, Accelerated Colloidal Gold®, and Accelerated Scalar Copper®—in a way that’s completely unique. By imploding the water, we create perfectly structured, “living” water that generates its own Scalar field. This process naturally lowers the water’s surface tension, allowing it to penetrate faster and deeper into the body.
Here’s what makes this technology cutting edge:
- Enhanced Absorption: By lowering the surface tension, imploded water is absorbed more efficiently, so the silver can penetrate deeper into your tissues for better support.
- Increased Life Force and Charge: The implosion process revitalizes “dead” water, restoring it to a structured, high-energy state. This increase in piezo-electric charge amplifies the power of each silver, copper, or gold ion, giving it a stronger electric “spark” to neutralize pathogens.
- Structured Water for Targeted Action: This structured, “liquid crystal” water operates on the same energetic template as harmful pathogens, making it highly effective in restoring balance.
- Purified, Energetically Clean Water: The implosion process magnetically strips away any preexisting energetic imprints, allowing a pure environment for the silver, gold, or copper particles to hold their intended beneficial frequencies, similar to a homeopathic effect.
- Stable and Consistent Particles: Imploding the water helps separate any clumped particles, ensuring the silver, gold, or copper remains consistently dispersed throughout.
- Optimized Molecular Structure: The bond angle of hydrogen in imploded water is altered, creating stronger dipoles that support an alkaline pH and intensify the water’s charge. This structured environment surrounds each silver, gold, or copper ion and colloid, enhancing its impact.
Our Water Implosion Technology brings new life into these liquid supplements, ensuring you get the most effective, energetically aligned support possible.
- Scalar Technology: In a unique touch, Accelerated Health Products are enhanced with scalar frequencies to further amplify their effectiveness, supporting overall health on both physical and energetic levels. For our liquid products like Accelerated Colloidal Silver™, Accelerated Colloidal Gold®, and Accelerated Copper®, we go beyond traditional production. These products are treated with proprietary Scalar Generators, while the dry supplements—such as Accelerated Fast™, Accelerated Thyroid®, Accelerated Liver Care™, and Accelerated Cogniblast®—are uniquely programmed using True Analogue Scalar Generators equipped with specialized antennas and analogue scalar tuning devices.
Here’s how it works: we use this advanced technology to generate scalar fields, which allows us to infuse each product with specific biological information patterns or intrinsic data fields.
Think of it like tuning a radio. Just as a radio generator creates a base frequency to carry music, we use scalar generators to create a field that can carry “information”—programming that we can set to support the body by “tuning” out harmful patterns like viruses and bacteria or by “tuning” in healing codes.
The precision here is key. The Scalar Field we generate is finely “tuned” to produce a coherent energy field, which is incredibly challenging without the right equipment. Scalar energy is entirely different from regular electromagnetic radiation, and this technology requires specific analog tuning. In fact, we’re the only company worldwide combining traditional analog scalar tuning devices with modern-tuned scalar generators. It’s this unique process that sets our products apart in supporting your health at an energetic level.
This dedication to integrity and quality means you can trust that the supplements formulated by Accelerated Health Products are doing exactly what they are designed to do—supporting your health with potent, meticulously sourced ingredients that deliver real results.
