| John's wort, b vitamins, hypnosis, homeopathy, acupuncture, counseling. She refused to try antidepressant drugs—otherwise, those would have been on her list as well.
"What about SAMe?" I asked, pronouncing it "Sammy."
"What is it?"
"It's the abbreviation for S-adenosylmethionine, which is a substance naturally found in the cells of your body. There's some impressive research showing it helps depression and osteoarthritis. It is what we call a methyl donor."
The term methyl donor was obviously unfamiliar to her, so I went on to explain that SAMe could activate chemical reactions in the body. | | In any event, taking b vitamins as I recommended prevents the build up of homocysteine.
SAMe
Recommendations from the Natural Physician for ...
°^ Depression
I recommend starting at 400 milligrams daily for two weeks. Stay at this dosage if you notice improvement. If there is little to no improvement, then increase the SAMe dosage to 800 milligrams daily for another two to four weeks. Some people may need to use up to 1,200 milligrams to notice an effect. This is fine as toxicity is not a concern.
There are different theories as to how SAMe works to alleviate depression. | | Soybeans are rich in calcium, iron, zinc, b vitamins, and fiber. They are a great source of protein. Commercial soy foods such as tofu, as well as most of the soy-based products sold in supermarkets, are highly digestible.
Soy is a staple of the Chinese diet and has been used in that culture as a food and medicine for thousands of years. The Chinese discovered how to ferment soy to make it digestible, and it became a staple throughout Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Soy arrived in Europe in the 1700s; it was in the United States by the 1800s, brought by Chinese immigrants. | | For quicker bone healing, some of the most beneficial vitamins and minerals include calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin K, b vitamins, silica, and boron. I usually recommend a comprehensive bone formula or a high-potency multivitamin and a separate calcium/magnesium supplement, supplying at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium and at least 500 milligrams of magnesium.)
Tea Tree Oil
"This toe fungus just won't go away," said Marlene, a 33-year-old patient of mine. "I tried a couple of antifungal creams for it and there was no improvement. | | In addition, coenzymes such as b vitamins or coenzyme Q10 are needed to activate the enzyme. Working together, the enzymes, cofactors, and coenzymes sustain the energy creation that sustains every one of our living cells.
There is no doubt that a healthy body requires a rich supply of enzymes. Though many supplement programs focus on our vitamin and mineral requiremerits, we may see more interest in enzyme therapies in the future. An increasing number of nutrition-oriented doctors are beginning to make enzymes a central focus of healing therapies. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Vitamin B6 is one of the most interesting b vitamins for cancer patients. Hans Ladner and Richard Salkeld, a team of German and Swiss researchers, reported an important controlled clinical trial in which 300 mg of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) was given throughout a 7-week course of radiotherapy to half of a group of 210 patients aged 45 to 65 with endometrial cancer.24 They found a 15% improvement in 5-year survival compared to patients who did not receive the supplement, and found no side effects from the supplementation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Pomegranates are a superior source of potassium, are high in citric acid, and have moderate amounts of vitamin C and the b vitamins.
Use Pulling pomegranate seeds from the fruit is a sticky task but a sweet one—and best if not hurried. The juice is easier to extract: Bruise the fruit by rolling it on a hard surface, then puncture its end, insert a straw, and drink. The juice makes a permanent stain, so protect your clothing with a bib apron.
The fruit is primarily eaten raw and is a common ingredient in Spanish, Italian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cuisines. |
