I can’t thank you enough for the tremendous impact that your program is having on my life. Your stress relief exercises are such a powerful tool for dealing with anxiety. And I never miss my daily dose of vitamins, because I know that my afternoons will not be nearly as smooth without them. Thanks for all that you do and I so hope that you are successful in spreading this type of medicine to others! -John K.
My husband and I are delighted at how much energy we have after two years of following your nutraceutical and lifestyle recommendations. We can even keep up with our grandkids on the weekends, which I assure you is quite a task! We are cooking with fresh foods at home more than ever and have recently started learning tai chi per your recommendation. These simple changes are adding so much to our lives and I just wanted to write to say to thank you for all that you do! -Karla S.
Welcome to The Vital Plan™
Optimal wellness is within reach and The Vital Plan™ offers guidance on products and lifestyle modifications that can get you there. Deciding to adopt a healthier lifestyle is always a personal choice, but motivated individuals who want to improve their health and reduce their risk of disease will find the Vital Plan to be a state-of-the-art wellness resource. Our providers have spent years developing protocols to reduce the causes of disease and researching nutraceuticals to bring you the safest and most effective products available. It is our hope that this website resource will provide you with the necessary guidance and products to better understand your health and reduce your dependence on conventional drugs.
The Vital Plan™ is a whole new concept in healthcare. While most of conventional healthcare addresses only the effects of disease, our approach addresses the actual causes of disease. Any symptom, abnormal lab value or sign of disease can be traced back to specific causes. Reduce the causes and the healing systems of the body will flourish! The Vital Plan™ is a simple formula consisting of lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and nutritional supplements designed to dramatically reduce all causes of disease. Risk defined by genetic profile matters less than you think. By reducing specific causes, the risk of all diseases, including cancer is reduced.
Though the internet and book stores abound with self-help books and plans, there is great value in seeking out the advice of a professional. But not any professional will do. Our providers recognize the value of reducing causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. They are trained to guide your journey toward health restoration. But unlike the growing field of health advisors, our providers are licensed medical professionals who have the ability to write prescriptions when pharmaceuticals are indicated. Let The Vital Plan™ be your guide to optimal health!
About Nutraceutical Therapy
Nutraceuticals are natural substances used for medicinal purposes. They include classic vitamins and minerals, extracts from foods, chemical substances naturally found within living organisms, herbal therapies, and some non-prescription hormonal therapies. Nutraceuticals are generally administered orally, but transdermal applications are used for some products. Natural products are generally not patentable, which distinguishes them from pharmaceuticals which are synthetically derived and thus patentable. In many situations, less toxic nutraceutical therapy can be as effective as pharmaceutical therapy, especially with the addition of appropriate lifestyle and dietary modifications. Beyond relieving symptoms alone, nutraceutical therapy is used to preserve wellness and prevent disease. Even in cases where pharmaceuticals are necessary, the addition of a well-balanced nutraceutical regimen and appropriate lifestyle modifications can reduce the required dose of drugs, encourage healing and prevent progression of disease.
The biggest obstacle to effective nutraceutical use is lack of standardization, substandard products and marketing hype. Making the correct choice of quality nutraceuticals for a specific purpose is just a first step. Knowing which companies can be trusted to provide quality nutritional supplements with reliable potency is paramount for making nutraceutical therapy to work. Through the Vital Plan, you can trust that our providers have done their homework to provide you with the best nutraceuticals to fit in with your healthy lifestyle and budget. All of our nutraceuticals are handpicked by practicing physicians with years of experience in nutraceutical therapy and are regularly used by patients in an office setting. The providers behind The Vital Plan™ website are also very conscious of how expensive a quality supplement regimen can become and they work hard to ensure that patients always receive the best value for their money.
The First Do No Harm Provider Network™
Currently, 15 healthcare providers across NC and SC are using The Vital Plan™ program with their patients. We call our network of providers the First Do No Harm Provider Network™ because patient safety is a founding principle of our program. Once a provider joins our network, they are trained by Dr. Rawls and other First Do No Harm providers to educate their patients about Vital Plan concepts and to recommend safe and effective nutraceutical therapies as indicated. If you are a health care provider, or know of a health care provider who may be interested in this program, please call 800-951-2414 or email info@thevitalplan.com for more information.
The Vital Plan™ Founder, William C. Rawls, Jr., M.D.
"What began as a simple attempt to answer patient questions about non-toxic therapies ended up becoming a life-changing research project for me. I was immediately intrigued by the complexity of the nutraceutical industry and discovered nutraceuticals and lifestyle changes that significantly impacted my own health. Over the years, I have been able to positively impact many patients by offering advice on non-toxic therapies and hope that the products and guidance on this website will do the same for you!"
