A diet or food programme rich in Superfoods is a vital way of life now.  Declining health patterns and the constant temptation to eat devitalized and over-processed, chemically toxic foods has meant that mankind is in real trouble for the future.  Lots of us will be 55 years old and over with failing health and obesity issues.  Superfoods will be vital to help address this inevitable pattern of decline.  What can seem like short term gain for low-cost foods with no discernable nutritional value will seem like a nightmare when the results of malnutrition and disease patterns in the young and old really take a grip due to several generations exposed to junk food.  ‘The Superfood Diet’ can change this; using foods rich in nutritional gifts makes a difference to daily mental states, daily physical wellbeing and it provides the bedrock balance for long-term health and an old age not beset with compromise, disease and distress.

Getting into the habit of consuming Superfoods like Dr Schulze’s Superfood Plus will mean that for moderate amounts of money now, future amounts of money can be saved and potential misery can be largely sidelined.  For some it may look odd but knowing the rewards makes it easy to ‘switch’ the brain into something a little different.

The term raw and raw foods is becoming an increasingly vital term for health and wellbeing.  Modern food processes are keen on long shelf life and ease of transporting but at the cost of our health.  And ironically Dr Schulze has provided a long shelf life food but not at the expense of our health.  The problem with highly processed and devitalized foods is that they are over-heated in the process which incurs the destruction of naturally occurring enzymes, not least antioxidants like vitamin E and vitamin A.  (These occur in large quantities via the palm fruit, beetroot leaf and other plants in his formula).

Dr Schulze is careful to keep his raw Superfood plants raw by drying them just under 42 degrees C (118 degrees F), which ensures that all the plants naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, trace elements and phyto-nutrients remain intact and available to feed us and help us when we ingest it.  He uses the low temperature vacuum drying process rather than the high-heat spray drying method which would not be considered ‘raw’ food by those who really know the difference.

Dr Schulze has also chosen plants that in their ‘raw’ state can be easily absorbed and utilized almost immediately by the body.  They even circumnavigate the gut and go straight into the bloodstream.  Some raw foods are unable to be digested or cannot be broken down very easily by the gut without a lot of effort, hence why we cook foods, but those in Superfood Plus require almost no physical processing so a ‘win, win’ situation is evident.  No downside of gut breaking down difficulties and the upside of nutritionally rich but dried and  long-shelf life raw food.

Dr Schulze is adamant about growing his organic Superfood Plus plants in certified clean earth without the use of chemicals (fertilizers and pesticides).  Likewise his water grown algaes (Spirulina and Chlorella) have been grown in pure volcanic spring water.  He knows that absolutely avoiding chemical processes every step of the way is vital and this includes his drying and mixing processes for the 14 Superfood plants.  Here he has avoided chemical de-hydrators or synthetic drying substances.  This means that his formula is not only raw, his Superfood is also devoid of toxins, and chemicals, (and dried at 42 degrees C to avoid killing vital and naturally occurring plant components) which would make it more difficult to digest and utilize.

Organic foods pursue the ‘ideal’ of nutrition.  One such nutritional ‘must have’ are anti-oxidants.  Over-cooked foods and high heat processes to dry foods often relies on removing the nutrients that cause decay but it is these decaying components that are rich in anti-oxidants. We actually want these and he keeps these in by drying them at low temperatures.

‘Organic’ means growing and processing without chemicals as we have said but it also means that the plants are forced to create their own immunities and survival strategies and it is these bio-chemical components that are really good for us to consume because they pass to us the same positive biological immune strengths and more.

Finally, of course, Dr Schulze is avoiding irradiating the Superfood Plus.  Irradiating food keeps it longer but it also ‘neuters’ it and robs it of vitality.

Organic is a word which says so much, pure, unadulterated and out of clean earth and water.

A Superfood is a plant that provides maximum nutrition and absolute ease of digestion so that its nutritional excellence can be utilized without robbing the body of more energy in the process.

Dr Schulze called his product Superfood Plus because he knew it ticked all the boxes on rawness, supreme nutrition and ease of digestion and utilization by the body.

So Superfoods can of course be many and varied but notable ones are spirulina, chlorella, sprouted grasses, especially barley grass, but also fruits which are rich in antioxidants like acerola cherry, blueberries, goji berries, palm fruit etc (made substantial on the orach scale which measures antioxidant levels).  Food plants like Siberian ginseng (eleutherococcus senticosus) could also come under the Superfood category.

Seaweeds are Superfoods in that they are extremely  mineral and iodine rich and very easy to digest.  Yeasts are an ‘old’ style Superfoods given to fortify B12 and B vitamins in ailing children for decades and of course Dr Schulze’s non-fermentable version is fine with yeast based infections.  Superfoods have been around for centuries and cultures all over the world have always used them but our interest in them needs to be more acute than ever due our declining health and rising levels of obesity and ‘old-age’ diseases.

NASA has highlighted spirulina as being their choice of Superfoods for long and short term space travel as it provides the spectrum of protein, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidant and phyto-nutrients.  A real winner.

Superfood Plus is an extremely intelligent meal all in one. It contains 14 “Superfoods” that have been most carefully selected to provide plant source proteins, vitamins, minerals, trace-elements and a wealth of phyto-nutrients that nutritionists and herbal practitioners recognize as the nuts and bolts of good health, immune recovery, nerve repair and much much more.

Superfood Plus is a raw food example of an honest solution for addressing health today. It is a “real” food that can be easily digested and absorbed and which can create health, disease prevention and the healing of a wide range of ailments and ill health situations.

What its not is a nutritional supplement made in the laboratory in the “magic bullet” school of thought.

It is instead an honest “plant only” product which has been grown in nutritionally rich soils and grown without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It is vacuum dried at low heat just enough to dry and preserve and it does not use the normal high-heat drying method which kills off nutritional components.

Superfoods

Much of food today “looks” good but isn’t. Irradiated food is common, chemically grown foods is the norm, synthetic vitamins added to food is normal practice. De-natured, altered and cheaper versions of the real thing is what makes commercial sense and appeals to cash strapped consumers in a recession  but it is making the nation sicker now and will cause untold damage and strain on the NHS way into the future.

Disease prevention and the use of Superfoods type plants like spirulina, chlorella and so-on go hand in hand. What also needs to be understood is that it isn’t just the food being of good quality; it’s our ability to absorb and utilize it. Whole plants, kept whole are natural digestants and this is vital to grass. Plants are naturally rich in bio-active compounds, usually hundreds at a time. This diversity is paramount and “selected out” and isolated compounds are not the same thing, just like synthetic versions aren’t. Synthetic versions cause untold problems in our ability to digest them. Pure foods in their rich array of naturally occurring compounds which can be very easily utilized by the body are  the basis of thinking of selecting Superfoods.

In general, disease prevention and recovery needs naturally occurring organic compounds and also ones which can be broken down with the greatest of ease Strenuous digestive somersaults doesn’t make people well,  it simply further distances them from getting the basic building blocks for organ and cell repair. The first 2 plant ingredients in Superfood Plus reflects this. Namely Spirulina Blue-Green Algae and Chlorella Green Algae. Both are very ancient life forms, so primitive that they pre-date many botanical blue prints. It is this primitive and basic makeup that makes it easy to digest but boundlessly rich in vitally needed nutrients.

Dr Schulze’s Superfood Plus is a product much needed now and way into the future of superfoods.

Dr Schulze

Dr Schulze Superfood Plus is a formula rich in phyto-nutrients – This is a relatively new term that recognises there is more to food than just vitamins, minerals and fibre.  Dr Schulze knows that these kinds of microscopic nutrients are vital for the body because as a Herbalist and Natural Healer he truly understands the effect of small but potent plant compounds.  He knows that healing foods have always existed and he has simply applied focus and expertise to put it all into one formula.  A formula with, the potential to’ heal’ and prevent illness!

Dr Richard Shulze

Dr Richard Shulze created his Superfood Plus formula, in order to treat stabilize and alter so many different situations and problems.  Apart from being high in protein and all B vitamins it is also extremely high in beta-carotene, omega 3, vitamin C and E it is also extremely rich in a wide range of antioxidants which are the most effective plant components at countering chronic illnesses.  It’s normally really hard to get enough of these on a daily basis form everyday, nutrient –depleted food so this is an assured daily source using some very ancient plants know to mankind since the dawn of time.

Dr Schulze’s Superfood Plus isn’t just a brilliant combination of plants, carefully blended with knowledge of how to alter diseases patterns and re-invigorate.  Dr Schulze has put as much energy into the growing conditions of the plants themselves.  He grows them all under his strict concept of organicness and freshness with high sunshine levels where appropriate.  They are carefully harvested at the peak of their intended potential so that we receive the highest levels of enzymes, phytonutrients vitamins, minerals and trace elements.  After this they are treated with the greatest respect so that any drying and tumbling involves the least amount of interference.

Superfoods List

The term Superfood was used by Dr Schulze 15 years ago to describe foods that invest the body with extremely high value components by comparison to their overall weight and size, which must deliver enormous potential outside of the remit of more everyday foods.  Most importantly the chosen plants must have gained its sort-after attributes by itself and not by human genetic breeding, he feels.    It is not perhaps surprising that more recently NASA has approved Spirulina as a food source that is fundamental to those engaged in space travel and for long-term space living.

Superfoods UK

Dr Schulze and Jill Davies are Herbalists, Natural Healers and long standing colleagues.  Jill Davies is the co-founder and Director of the 30 year old company Herbs Hands Healing Ltd which uniquely sells (and is the sole importer of) Dr Schulze’s original Superfood Plus in Europe.  Like Dr Schulze’s company (American Botanical Pharmacy) Superfood Plus is Jill Davies’s foundational product for creating health, wellbeing and recovery, with her herbs, herbal formulae and ‘Herbalist Kitchen Range’ food supplements as additions.  Both companies’ share in the ideals and ethos of high quality plants creating quicker health recovery.

Superfood Supplements from Dr Schulze provide the body with optimum nutrition in natural food form.  ‘Simple and complete’ sums it up.  Daily niggles and dips can be evened out whilst bigger issues and disease is slowly attended to and changed.  It is effective as a food and recovery supplement which can be used between, as well as instead of meals.  It’s also ideal as a pregnancy and breast feeding support which can then naturally form part of the babies/toddlers first foods – ‘from the cradle to the grave’ comes to mind.

Superfood Supplement

What’s really handy about Dr Schulze’s Superfood Plus is its portability and ease with which it can be turned into food that feeds and boosts with real integrity – even just mixed, with water you are ready to go.  Keep in the glove compartment of the car, handbag, office drawer, locker, wherever.  Those with hypoglycaemia will particularly find it handy as it boosts blood sugar almost instantly.  It’s not just a quick fix for flagging sugar and energy levels at the times over the days and months of taking it, it accumulatively  alters by tackling root causes.  It’s accessibility and ease of time to make and drink is all part of its usefulness.

Why is the colour green so special?  Because it is the colour of chlorophyll  It is the green pigment that saturates leaves and nature in general and which centres round photosynthesis. In the body it safely stimulates tissue growth and amongst many other vital objectives red blood cells in connection with oxygen supply.    Superfood is full of green plants to include the Green Barley and Wheat Grass, the Green Algaes chlorella and spriulina and the dark green spinach and beet leaves.  Green is good!

Green Super Food

There have been so many pioneers of green foods.  Dr Schulze is of course one of them, but also his teacher Dr Bernard Jenson. The word green is often put into front of the plant as it emphasises what we all understand about the word e.g. it’s chlorophyll content and how compellingly brilliant chlorophyll is for our bodies – it’s alkalinity, it’s ability to de-toxify, give nutrition and on and on!  Yoshihide Haguiara is another famous ‘Green Food pioneer and he was particularly keen on Barley Grass which is of course a vital component of Superfood Plus.  Then there is the famous Hippocrates Institute, famous for its raw green foods.

Green Superfoods

Dr Schulze’s Superfood Plus is rich in Green foods that all contain chlorophyll in abundance.  To create the chlorophyll in the first place the plant itself needs large amounts of magnesium in the soil or water.  In the case of Dr Schulze’s green and blue algae’s these are grown in volcanic water which  is especially rich in magnesium.  Not only is the algae able to pass on the chlorophyll content it will also pass on the abundance of natural magnesium as well.  Eating your ‘Greens’ assumes us that we are getting a good supply of magnesium as well as other minerals but it’s not always the case in mineral deprived soils.  Magnesium is one of the most important minerals as it helps prevent a wide range of diseases – not least it calms and feeds the nervous system, maintains a good heart rhythm and helps strengthen bone.

Dr Schulze formula

Dr Schulze formula ‘Superfood Plus’ is particularly useful for the 21st century  stress syndrome of ‘Adrenal burnout’  Simply described it can be summed up as tired, worn out and lacking in general energy.  These people have low levels of digestive enzymes and need large amounts of easily digested protein, vits, mins and phytonutrients and require a steadying of their blood sugar levels.  They do best on 6 small meals a day instead of 2 or 3.  Thus Superfood Plus can be used ‘between’ meals, for those with low hydrochloric acid levels and therefore low abilities to digest, or even simply a feeling of not wanting to eat. Superfood Plus can bridge the gap. Put alongside a herb like Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus) and extra support will materialize.
