 For these reasons, at stage III, it is recommended to minimize intake of high potency synthetic supplements, and focus on the use of concentrated food supplements and foods that have high amounts of nutrients, such as kelp and dulse, for minerals. Dulse, because it is much higher than kelp in potassium and lower in sodium and is purple, makes a good addition to the evening meal. It is generally good to soak the dulse to get rid of excess sea salt. |

 And it tastes great.
The most important reasons why this drink mix provides the perfect way to start the day are that it is extremely filling and it exerts a tremendous blood sugar stabilizing effect. We have done our own intensive research on the SlimStyles Weight Loss Drink with our patients. To verify our results because they were so phenomenal, we had Sydney University's Glycemic Index Research Service (SUGIRS) perform an evaluation. As you can see below, the drink mix produces an incredible effect on stabilizing blood sugar levels for at least two hours. |

 Moreover, tea may make an even greater contribution than fruits and vegetables. In a comparison of the antioxidant activity of various vegetables (including garlic, spinach, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, onions, and many others) with the antioxidant activity of green and black tea, the teas were found to have a greater ability to quench free radicals than the vegetables. Clearly, green tea is a powerful agent for fighting free radicals,2 and it can be added to your daily antioxident arsenal in beverage or dietary supplement form. |

It seems that sugar and refined carbohydrates tend to actually pull important minerals right out of the body. One result, as explained in The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, is osteoporosis:
"Another dietary factor that increases the loss of calcium from the body is refined sugar. Following sugar intake, there is an increase in the urinary excretion of calcium. |

 Digestion of phytic acids, which can negatively affect absorption of minerals, will result in better absorption of calcium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, and magnesium. Other enzymes in the product are bromelain, acid-fast protease, lactase, and galactose.
Another product called EnZymAid Complete contains 19 different enzymes including caso-glutenase and may be used with every meal. It needs to be understood that children with autism have difficulty digesting all types of foods, and every effort should be made to simplify and predigest foods as much as possible. |

 However, it is interesting to note that television stations, newspapers, magazines, and radio stations routinely will not accept advertising for all-natural herbal products, homeopathic products, vitamins, minerals, or books that are critical of the pharmaceutical industry. Ads for this book, for example, have been rejected by many ABC television stations, as well as CNBC. The reason, in my opinion, is because this book is critical of the pharmaceutical industry and the food industry, and those industries put pressure on the media not to run advertising for this book. |

Grapefruit seed extract is derived from the bioflavonoids found in the seed and pulp. Its antigermicide action has shown a growth-inhibiting effect on bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses in several in vitro studies. |
| Without proper preparation of the body with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and good fatty acids, the response of the body to sectetin and other more complex supplemental therapies is unpredictable. Sphingolin has been used to attempt to repair damaged myelin in the brain. However, sphingolin should not be used alone, but given with other appropriate fats and cofactors. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a GI hotmone that also has central nervous system effects. Some individuals believe that secretin works by stimulating the release of cholecystokinin. |

 Zinc tends to compete for uptake with other minerals, such as copper, manganese and iron. Taking more than 200 milligrams per day could contribute to deficiencies of these other minerals.
Zinc should be taken at a different time than other supplements and not with meals, as some foods (soy, cow's milk, whole wheat bread, etc.) may interfere with its absorption.

| The SNS and PNS are a two-neuron system, meaning that two sets of nerves interconnect in the ganglion. minerals play an extremely important role in the message sent to organs and glands from the ANS. For example, Dr. Gonzalez explains that magnesium blocks transmission between the two nerves and the ganglion and is regarded as the very best turn-off for sympathetic arousal. On the other hand, calcium arouses activity in the SNS. Potassium, although not a sympathetic toner, acts directly upon the PNS, encouraging increased responsiveness. |

 The total balance of minerals in a particular food can be either acid or alkaline. Mineral salts are composed of an acid group (anion), such as chloride, citrate, or phosphate, and of an alkaline group (cation), mainly metal ions such as sodium, calcium, or potassium. If one of these groups is stronger, then the salt is either acid or alkaline.
In nlants. metal ions such as notassium are combined with organic acids such as citric acid. In the body, the organic acids are converted to energy, while the metal ions remain to produce an alkaline reaction. |

 They provide fiber, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and other nutrients that are simply not available in any other effectively synergistic package. All healthy diets rely on them. Despite the fact that whole grains form the base of most food pyramids, indicating that they should be a significant part of our diet, many Americans fail to eat even one whole grain serving a day! Men and women who eat whole grains have a reduced risk of twenty types of cancer, according to a 1998 review of forty observational studies, published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer. |

 Endive is especially rich in minerals.
Escarole (Cichorium endiva latifolium), a variety of endive, is sometimes confused with curly-leafed endive. Broad, fleshy, ruffled green leaves that shade from deep green on the outside to butter yellow in the center make up the flat head of escatole. Sturdy and crisp, escarole adds a slightly sharp flavor to tossed salads and is particularly good in combination with sweeter leaves such as romaine. It may also be lightly cooked like spinach. |
| Brussels sprouts stimulate sluggish glands and promote the release of hormones that have a cleansing effect on adipose (fatty) cells and tissues. minerals in brussels sprouts stimulate the kidneys to release more water, making it easier for dislodged fatty wastes to be flushed out of the body. |

Ribes probably derived from ribas, the Arabic name for Rheum ribes, although some believe it to be the latinized form of riebs, which is an old German word for "currant." Uva-crispa means "curved berry"; hirtellum means "somewhat hairy. |
| When you cook apples, do so over low heat so that the delicate pectin, vitamins, and minerals will be preserved as much as possible. Sliced apples can be kept from turning brown by dipping them into an acidic solution such as lemon juice and water. Apple seeds are best discarded, as they contain moderate levels of cyanide. Seventy-five percent of the insecticide spray that is used on apples ends up in the core and seeds. That said, the small number of seeds in the typical core poses little risk of serious poisoning; it takes an estimated half cup of seeds to kill the average adult. |
| The refining of flour can drastically change the content and proportion of vitamins, minerals, protein, and even in some cases toxic contaminants. When whole wheat is milled into white flour, 83 percent of the nutrients are removed, leaving a product that is so useless as a food that it must be fortified with synthetic vitamins. As Henry A.

| Instead of or in addition to magnesium, you can add an appropriate amount of commercially available colloidal minerals.
Low Surface Tension: This is a common by-product of energizing water. Water contains organized clusters of water molecules, also called liquid crystals, surrounded by large numbers of randomly moving single water molecules.
In normal water, these clusters are larger and there are fewer of them. Energized or living water contains many more liquid crystals and of a smaller average size, forming cage-like structures of about six molecules. |
| Using water low in minerals can be beneficial as a temporary measure for "calcified" individuals with high blood pressure, those who might otherwise use chelation therapy, but it is detrimental for anyone with low blood pressure. Overall, the most important bulk mineral commonly supplied with our drinking water is magnesium. Various studies show the beneficial effect of high magnesium levels on the rate of common diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease as well as bone and dental disorders. |

| If we consistently eat foods high in phosphorus and low in calcium, such as meat, oats, wheat, and corn, then this tends to make the body overacid, depletes it of calcium and other minerals, and increases the tendency towards inflammation. By selecting suitable foods, these effects can be minimized. You can judge from table 1-2 whether you might have an imbalanced calcium-phosphorus ratio in your blood or your food selections. A low phosphorus intake is usually helpful with cancer and leukemia.
As you can see from the foods listed in table 1-3, it is easy to obtain sufficient phosphorus. |
