Introduction to Organ Glandular Nutrition

Throughout history people have used organ glandular nutrition as a natural supplement. They knew that ingesting organs and glands from animals or fish was good for health and for preventing or treating specific ailments. They ate the liver, kidneys, heart, brain, eyes, pancreas, digestive tract walls, adrenal glands, thyroid glands, thymus gland, bone and bone marrow. The idea of “like heals like” means that the best possible protein and other synergistic nutrients for a gland, organ or tissue can be obtained by eating that particular gland, organ, or tissue. Today many health professionals recommend organ glandular supplements for their patients because modern diets do not provide adequate nutrients for a healthy body.
Organ glandular nutrition is superior to any other form of supplement in three important ways:

Animal tissues are a concentrated source of nutrients. They are much higher in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes than plants, and their nutrients occur naturally in perfect balance to one another. This cannot be said of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that are produced in a laboratory. Those have a tendency to function more like a drug than a nutrient. Laboratory enzymes discourage the body’s own digestive function, frequently leading to organ shut-down, due to the physiological feedback system. The same shut down occurs with hormone therapy.
Animal tissue has an affinity for the same tissue in humans. Raw glandular tissue contains intrinsic protein factors which are synergistic with the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, enzymes, co-enzymes, hormones, and fatty acids contained within the gland. This means that the raw cellular material of a bovine kidney, for example, will be picked up from the lymph of the human kidney when ingested. These tissue-specific particles draw other essential nutrients to the gland or organ for repair and maintenance.
The enzymes and hormones present in organs and glands are at the heart of the biological transmutation of elements within the body. This new information was brought to light through the work of Prof. Louis Kervran. He studied the origin and destination of elements. What he discovered was a constant change from one element to another by a catalyst of enzymes and certain hormones. For example, sodium can transmute to potassium, potassium to calcium, and calcium to magnesium, just to name a few. The body constantly makes adjustments according to what is needed. What this means is that deficiencies do not result from the lack of a particular element but from the lack of a particular enzyme or hormone responsible the transmutation. In other words you cannot correct a deficiency by giving the element that is deficient! The only way to restore a deficiency is by stimulating the production of the enzyme or hormone necessary for its transmutation. Perhaps this is the reason that most vitamin and mineral supplements end up in the urine, rejected by the body. Organ glandular nutrition however not only has all the necessary nutrients to sustain health in a form that the body accepts, but it also provides everything needed for the repair and maintenance of the body. Add to that, the enzymes and hormones required for the transmutation of important elements, and you have the perfect whole food supplement. This incredible breakthrough completely changes our view of how the body works and how we will choose to heal it.

Note: Freeze-drying maintains the integrity of the proteins, enzymes, hormones, vitamins and minerals as well as the fat-soluble components. The only exception is placenta which is not a raw product by law, so fermented enzymes have been added.
