“Let ME tell
you how IMPORTANT
chewing
is.”
Digestion
begins in the mouth, well before food reaches
the stomach.

Did you know that PILLS
and other supplements may be coated or have binders and may
NEVER dissolve. Check out the x-ray below. If you look
closely, you will see the actual pills undissolved in the
colon. These are called “bedpan
bullets” because they may pass
right through your system without any absorption
whatsoever. In fact, sometimes you are still able to read
the name on the pill.
The following is a small
section from a Letter that Dr. Friedman had written
explaining some of his findings regarding this
matter.
“My life changed
forever in the mid 90s when a patient came in after having
her clogged up septic tank repaired. What she told me that
day will forever be engraved in my memory. One of the
plumbers told her they found the cause of her blocked up
septic tank. They proceeded to show her hundreds of
undigested One-A-Day vitamins, some of them with the brand
names still readable. This hit me hard because at the time,
I was taking a giant handful of vitamin/mineral pills every
day and recommending them to my patients. I did a little
research and found out that some cities across the country
were pulling out an incredible amount of undigested
vitamins from their sewers every month. In my office, it is
not uncommon to see undigested vitamin/mineral pills
showing up in the lower intestines on patients’ x-rays. The
reason some of these pills are not absorbed is due to their
high metallic content. Minerals like oyster shells,
carbonates, oxides and dolomites are made from ground up
rocks. Our bodies are not designed to digest crushed rocks
so they pass right through.
Some vitamin companies use binders, fillers and hard
chemical coatings that are so effective at holding them
together, none of the ingredients are absorbed. In fact,
hospital orderlies even have a name for these undigested
pills and tablets that pass through a person’s intestinal
track, “bedpan bullets!”

Integrated Biomolecule Corporation (IBC),
an independent lab,
tested
17
brand name vitamins
for dissolvability.
The
results were alarming ...
"
... at the end of the recommended USP dissolution time of 2
hours, NONE of the products were considered fully
dissolved.
In fact, some of the pills were ... not completely
dissolved even after 12 hours!"
By
comparison,
Chews-4-Health chewable tabs are completely broken down in
less than 40 seconds!
The digestion and absorption already begins in your mouth.
Chewing
well also allows the
molecules of nutrients from inside the food to be more
quickly released and assimilated.
