The Lee Philosophy, Part Two

Today, the issue of distinguishing between isolated or manufactured chemical 'nutrients' versus whole, natural biochemical food complexes is still urgent, still must be explained and emphasized. Current scientific design and practice is to make nutrients into drugs. For health's sake, "the best sources of nutrients are foods." Half a century ago, Dr. Lee explained that we should get our nutrients from foods, from Nature's pattern. Dr. Lee dared to think, to resist conforming to the current scientific status quo, to reverently respect the superior wisdom of Nature. Scientific research is now confirming what Dr. Lee knew decades ago, "...that where nutrition is needed, where starvation really has brought about serious disorder," the use of drugs or drug-like substances (including isolated, synthetic supplements) where food is called for "is the height of scientific unsoundness, to say the least."
