1. If I’m taking prescription medications, smoking, eating sugar or consuming caffeine can I start the Vibrant Health System?
If you have these toxins going into your body you have an even greater need for the Vibrant Health System. The nutrition you get from our products is vital to help your body have energy and overcome its dependency on artificial stimulation. Once these nutrients have built up in your body you will then be able to get off these stimulants. back to questions

2. I am on medication for high blood pressure. Can I still be on the Vibrant Health System?
Definitely. Many of the VHS clients begin the program on prescription medication. VHS nutrients have helped many people get their health back to the level that their symptoms decrease and their doctors can take them off their blood pressure medication. Our clients also get off a host of other medications for various illnesses.

Gay Roberts is a beautiful 30-something young lady who was already on blood pressure medication and overweight. She was sent to VHS by her family doctor to help her lose weight. Within 90 days she had lost 3 pants sizes and was off of her medication with normal blood pressure and a new outlook on life, so much so that her social life changed dramatically.

Shirley Sigler is another client who has been able to come off her medication for high blood pressure because of VHS. Shirley is 66 years old, but now looks and acts much more like people 10 to 15 years younger. Shirley was also able to get off Prozac after having taken it for 15 years. "Since the day it came on the market," as Shirley puts it. She got off Elavil, another antidepressant that is also given for pain of Fibromyalgia. back to questions

3. I am pregnant or plan to become pregnant soon, is it OK if I’m on the Vibrant Health System while I’m pregnant?
Other than the Holiday and Energizer, there is nothing that should do anything but help you and your unborn baby. However, your personal doctor would be the one to check with on that issue since he would be the only one aware of the finer details of your own health issues. back to questions

4. I have an overactive thyroid. Will Vibrant Health nutracuticals cause any problems?
People with overactive thyroid should not take the Holiday and Energizer and should never consume caffeine or sugar products. They can take the minimum amounts (one capsule per day) of M&M, Fregetables, and Equalizer until it can be determined where the toxicity that has caused this problem is coming from. back to questions

5. You mentioned that I shouldn’t take some of the Vibrant Health supplements if I am taking over-the-counter allergy medications. Which ones should I avoid?
Avoid Energizer and Holiday if you are currently taking allergy medications. You should also avoid these if you consume large amounts of caffeine. If you begin taking the rest of the products, within a month you should not need the caffeine and could start the -to lean program. back to questions

6. What is the difference between the Vibrant Health System (VHS) supplements and “regular” vitamins?
Most over the counter over-the-counter vitamins contain chemicals or other substances that your body does not naturally respond to as legitimate nutrition. The supplements in the VHS contain concentrated whole foods, which your body is seeking and can absorb. back to questions

7. What is in these nutrients, and how are they different from the rest of the products on the market?
We have over 50 different ingredients in 6 different products, and they are not all easily found items. If the manufacturing process is not executed properly, as with the over-the-counter supplements, the nutrients you take are not even active.

Active Aloe Vera is a good example. Most aloe is processed in such a way that the ingredient that has the immune-enhancing properties is virtually useless. The process to properly extract this aloe is very expensive and, consequently, not used by most manufactures.

Another example is calcium carbonate. It is limestone that is mined from the ground like coal, ground up into fine powder and put into pill or chewable antacid tablets. It only costs $60.00 per ton to produce calcium that way. So, if you get that in a calcium supplement you are getting something very cheap and of not much benefit to your body since it can hardly be absorbed or utilized like the calcium our bodies need. Food-form calcium is actually taken through this incredible process of being fed to a brewer’s yeast cell, grown like a live plant; sprayed into droplets, recollected, freeze dried, crushed into powder, and encapsulated. As you can probably image the process just described is much more expensive than grinding up limestone and putting it in tablets. Consequently, it is not used by most manufactures, so most products contain the limestone. Calcium is just one ingredient; the scenario is pretty much the same for all of them. back to questions

8. How do you get the nutrients the body needs into the tiny pills?
We first find out what the active nutrient is, and then we extract it and encapsulate it. back to questions

9. If these nutrients fulfill my nutritional needs, why do I even need to eat?
You still have to get calories and bulk and many other things from your foods. We will also help you through that jungle. The important issue is that on the cellular level, these nutrients are essential but not found in most foods you can eat. back to questions

10. What diseases or ailments have you seen improvement using your system?

11. But can this program help me?
These nutrients give your body the raw materials it requires for healing. Given enough time and with the right combinations, we find that everyone will benefit from the VHS. Whether the VHS addresses your particular problem depends on you and your commitment to getting your own health back and how your system responds. It’s a process that we are here to guide you through but it’s up to you to take the steps. Refer to previous question for a list of conditions for which clients have found VHS to be beneficial. back to questions

12. Do I need to take all my nutrients at a certain time of day, with meals, or does it really matter?
The Energizer and Holiday are the only ones that need to really be taken with a meal, because of their effect on appetite. Most people lead such busy lives we suggest you take them all in the morning to make sure you are getting enough of them to help your body out. back to questions

13. How quickly will I begin to feel better once I’m on the Vibrant Health System?
This depends on how closely you follow the regimen and where you are health-wise when you begin. We like to see each person’s Vibrant Health Index increase 5 points a week. The lower your initial index, the longer it will take you to complete the system, but your need for the VHS is more urgent. However, most people are so nutrient-depleted that their body will often show results immediately, within a couple of weeks. Remember, everyone is totally different. Some very sick clients will see the biggest percentage change immediately. Then we have other very sick clients who might go two months without a lot of improvement, and then suddenly overnight they seem to dramatically improve. The average over the long run is about 5 points per week. One might see little, if any, improvement one week and then dramatic improvement over the next three weeks. By the end of the first 3 weeks, if you have had no improvement at all or have gotten worse, you need to call for individual counseling. The odds are very high that you are getting re-exposed to some sort of toxin and we can probably help talk you through the process, and get your VHI headed in the correct direction. back to questions

14. How long does it take to complete the 7 steps?
This depends on you as an individual. For clients exclusively using the Internet, the process will take about a month per step. For all clients, the time period it takes to complete the system depends on how faithfully you take the nutrients and implement the education you receive. We generally look for an increase in your Vibrant Health Index of five points per week, on average. One week might be 20 points and the next none. We just hope for a steady incline toward a 100% Vibrant Health Index. When you have completed the system you should be equipped to carry out your program for a lifetime of vibrant health. back to questions

15. Can I just stay in Step One, and not go through all the steps?
We have found that this easy seven-step system is what it takes to have complete incredible Vibrant Health. All you have to do is take your suggested nutrients. back to questions

16. Can I receive nutritional counseling without getting the nutrients?
No, because these vital nutrients are essential to your success! Your body is malnourished and craving the essential nutrients it needs. Most of our clients come to us discouraged because they have tried and failed with so many other programs. We could just tell you what to eat, what not to eat and how to exercise. However, we know that the key for you to reach your goal is found through first supplying you the nutrients that provide your body with strength and vitality. Once this is accomplished your appetite will stabilize and your choices will follow a much healthier path. We all live in a toxic swamp resulting in a lot of energy wasted on aborted attempts to lose weight. Now, with much less effort, you can find your vibrant health! So forget starving yourself and forcing yourself to exercise, instead give your body the nutrition it so desperately needs! back to questions

17. How can you tell where each person is and recommend a regimen?
Dr. Tucker developed a simple, easy-to-use tool to track your progress. It’s called the Vibrant Health Index. This gives a starting point and a tracking tool. It’s a very simple test that you can take and score yourself. You can print this tool, score it yourself and then see where your health index is each week. Use this tracking tool to adjust your nutrients and look for toxic exposure or lifestyle choices that are either depressing your VHI or enhancing it. back to questions

18. How long have you been offering these services to clients?
Dr. Tucker has been working with clients in natural medicine for over three years. She has been in the field of pharmacy and natural medicine for over 20 years. back to questions
