| My program includes nutritional therapy; supplementation with specific vitamins, minerals, and trace elements; administration of natural medicinal tonics; cardiovascular exercise; mental exercise; yogic mind/body exercises; stress management; and administration of certain pharmaceutical medications.
Each element of the program works synergistically with the other elements; no single aspect of the program would be completely effective if used alone.
As you might imagine, this concerted program has a therapeutic effect on more than just memory and concentration. | | Some of the most effective antioxidants are vitamins C and E, the nutrient coenzyme Q-10, and the minerals zinc and selenium.
The peptide glutathione is an effective antioxidant, as are the amino acids L-methionine and L-taurine.
Later we'll examine in more detail the incredible restorative powers of antioxidants.
If all of the factors occur together, with sufficient severity, and if nothing is done to remedy them, the eventual result will be age-associated memory impairment—or even Alzheimer's disease.
In the next chapter we'll look at Alzheimer's disease. |

We found that doing a treatment for a core belief could clear a number of allergies without treating for the specific allergens. The first belief we worked with was "it is not safe to be fully present on the Earth." Patricia kept getting stronger and more energetic with each treatment. |

Bee venom therapy is promoted as a cure for joint problems, including rheumatoid arthritis. It has been used in Europe to treat these problems for many years. Proponents of bee venom therapy explain that it works by stimulating the body's immune system. It causes inflammation where the venom is injected into the body. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Each person receiving this treatment requires some limits as to how much and what kind of foods he or she may consume; dialysis makes supplemental vitamins and minerals necessary. This area is so complex that your kidney specialist or team must design a specific diet for you, based on what kind of dialysis you are having, how often, for how long, how much kidney "waste" is withdrawn and what your blood tests show from day to day. For that reason, I can give you only general guidelines concerning what foods need to be monitored, and what nutrients must be replaced. |

Acetylcholine is the most abundant neurotransmitter in the brain. As you might imagine, it is particularly concentrated in the brain's memory center, the hippocampus. But acetylcholine also helps perform many functions outside the brain. For example, it helps nerve cells in the muscles to trigger muscle action. |
Neal Barnard, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  And the continual cultivation of the soil has depleted minerals like selenium. Vitamin C and other antioxidants are fragile and easily lost to some degree during transportation, prolonged storage, and cooking.
My recommendation is to assure that your diet includes vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes in quantity and in a reasonable variety. Supplements, then, should be reserved for those few situations in which we miss the normal sources of vitamins. |
Robert Hass, M.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  I'll tell you the truth about the role of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in fighting cancer, free of media hype and sensationalism. And the truth is this: certain nutrients can and do help the body fight cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis when used as part of a total dietary strategy. But no pill, however potent, can take the place of a phytonutrient-rich diet. The most brilliant scientists alive today cannot recreate in a pill what Mother Nature has put in oranges, tomatoes, and soybeans. |

Kathie Swift says that even a few flakes sprinkled into a bean chili or soup can boost your mineral intake dramatically. She cites the example of a client who was taking in only 1400 calories per day but had a vitamin and mineral content well above most other diets at that calorie level. The nutritional superstar was the sea vegetables she used daily. In fact, Kathie's analysis of the client's diet without the sea vegetables showed several nutrients in short supply. |

About half the chestnut is made up of water (which makes it go rancid quickly). Fiber, potassium and folate are found in smaller amounts.
Chestnuts
Like a wacky cousin at your family reunion, chestnuts are a little different. Even for a nut, the chestnut is nuttv.
The ancient Chinese prized chestnuts as far back as 1600 B.C., and chestnuts were enjoyed in Japan and Europe for centuries. | | They'll save you from stress and boost your levels of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Omega-3 fatty acids. Don't be offended if someone calls you a fathead. You're in good company. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Sir Isaac Newton, and Confucius can be called fatheads, too. That's because fat makes up about 60 percent of the human brain. But you do have a choice over what type of fathead you want to be. You can keep your brain running smoothly with the right kinds of fats or you can gum up the works with too much of the wrong kind. It all depends on what you eat.

Second only to rice as a food staple, wheat was cultivated thousands of years ago by the ancient Chinese, Egyptians, and Greeks. Today, the world grows more wheat than any other cereal crop.
Chances are you get plenty of wheat in your diet since most breads are made with that grain. | | Instead, it's loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Packs a triple punch against cancer. Three of the toughest cancer fighters in the nutrient world — folate, vitamin C, and beta carotene (which turns into vitamin A) — are packed into a sweet potato. | | When it comes to precious minerals, eating quinoa is like hitting the mother lode.
Pantry pointers
Quinoa can be cooked like rice and used in place of it and other grains. It's great if you're in a hurry because it takes half as long to cook as rice. One drawback is that quinoa is harder to find (look in health food stores or in the health food section of your supermarket) and more expensive than other grains. However, since it expands to four times its size when it cooks, you get more bang for your buck. |

Dulse, which comes as curled, dried strips, can be eaten right out of the bag. It can be chopped and added to salads, soups, stews, stir-fries, or casseroles. It is tasty sauteed with root vegetables. Bake dulse on a sheet in the middle rack of the oven for about three minutes at 300?F, then crumble it onto grains or vegetables or use in such ground meat dishes as meat loaf.The Scots make soup from dulse.
Nori typically comes in sheets or strips. | | The six basic nutrients are carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. Humans take in these nutrients through food, and if we are deprived of too many nutrients for too long, we weaken, we become ill, and eventually we die.
Water is the basic nutrient, essential for life, whether the life is human, animal, or plant. More than two-thirds of the human body consists of water—and more than two-thirds of the earth's surface is covered by water. |

Nutritional Therapy: The First Three Levels
Understanding the effects of nutrients on cellular communication has allowed me to shape nutritional therapies tailored to the needs of individuals, using data from scientific studies. These therapies are built around three broad strategies, one level at a time. | | The more junk a person eats, the lower the daily intake of vitamins, minerals, and protein.18 Three-quarters of U.S. adults are overweight, one-third of U.S. adults are frankly obese, and both the prevalence and amount of obesity are on the rise.19 The rate of obesity among children has doubled in the past generation. Obesity makes a significant contribution to the risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, several types of cancer, arthritis, fatigue, depression, and general ill health. | | Controlled studies have found that vitamins or minerals may be useful for chronic pain management, and the herb feverfew can help to prevent migraine headaches:

Schohaber, Relapse prevention of painful vertebral syndromes in follow-up treatment with a combination of vitamins B], B6, B]2, Annals of the New York Academy of Science, Vol. 585 (1990), pp. 540-42. Vitamin B[ (thiamine 100 mg), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine 200 mg), and vitamin Bu (cyanocobalamin 0.2 mg) given three times a day for six months improved mood, mobility, and pain when compared with placebo.

What is a nutraceutical?
A nutraceutical is a supplement-enriched food that is designed to protect against various diseases or treat common ailments. Some examples of new nutraceuticals include snack bars fortified with soy phytochemicals to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes in menopausal women and to prevent prostate problems in men, as well as phytochemical-enriched candy for children who won't eat their vegetables.

See book keywords and concepts | | Your multivitamin preparation should also contain trace metals and minerals such as zinc, copper, selenium, and iron. If your caloric intake is too low, as gauged by your weight, energy, growth, and development, you may need to drink commercial, prepared liquid products such as Ensure or Sustacal. There are many such brands on the market; sample a few to see which one you like best. Fourteen percent of the calories in Ensure are from protein, 31 percent are from fat, and 55 are derived from carbohydrate. An 8-ounce glass of Ensure provides 240 calories. | | They contain not only the needed water but the specific minerals that are being lost as a result of the diarrhea. The most recent addition to the antidiarrheal infant formulas—my old Latin teacher would have preferred my saying "formulae"—is Isomil-DF. It differs from the others in that it contains soy fiber, which apparently stops the diarrhea sooner than the standard soy formulas without the added fiber. Getting kids who are sick with diarrhea to take any rehydration solution is not easy, so use tiny amounts. | | In treating adults with diarrhea, the goal is to replace the lost fluid and to replenish salt, potassium, and other minerals excreted in the diarrhea, or, as doctors put it, to restore "electrolyte balance." Although this is very important in adults, it is even more critical in terms of time in infants and young children. Electrolyte balance can be achieved by drinking lots of clear bouillon and fruit juices. | | The best way to ensure that you're getting the vitamins and minerals you need is to take a multivitamin and mineral supplement that satisfies the recommended dietary allowances.
Doctors used to caution anyone with diverticulosis against eating any foods that contained seeds, on the assumption that one or more might penetrate a little sac, irritate and perhaps infect it, and cause an attack of diverticulitis. Reasonable enough in theory, but wrong in practice. No one knows what actually precipitates an attack of diverticulitis or bleeding, but seeds and nuts do not. |

In Brazil, suma is considered serious medicine. It has cancer-fighting substances called pfaffosides, which can inhibit the growth of melanoma cells in culture, and it has been used as a treatment for various types of cancer. Natural healers prescribe suma to patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and other problems typical of poor immune function. |

The New Jersey researchers found that correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies improved immunity. But they learned another lesson, too. Contrary to what they were expecting, those subjects who took zinc with their multiple vitamins did worse than those taking the placebo. It turns out that while a little zinc is needed by the white blood cells, higher amounts inhibit immune actions. |
Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | In addition to more traditional vitamins, minerals, and herbs that have become household names in recent years, you will also see row upon row of new products with exotic-sounding names. Many of these new products are phytochemicals, extracts of disease-fighting compounds found exclusively in fruits and vegetables, which have only recently been isolated and packaged as supplements. |
Neal Barnard, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | And just to make sure that none of the subjects was missing any vitamins or minerals, everyone in both groups was asked to take a standard multivitamin supplement each day. As it turned out, everyone had an improvement in their immune function, whether they were in the zinc group or the placebo group. Without recognizing it, the researchers had corrected a whole range of nutrient deficiencies with a simple multivitamin, and everyone's immune functions improved.32
The multivitamin gave them what their diets should have provided but didn't. |
