 Certain vitamins and most of the minerals are known to be toxic above certain levels. But these known adverse (pathologic) effects of vitamin and mineral overdoses have, like the deficiency diseases, a conspicuously direct relationship with the nutrients in question. That is, the effects of denying or restoring a nutrient to an experimental subject, whether animal or human, are usually observable within a short time—at most, months. The links between diet and metabolic, degenerative, and malignant diseases are considerably less obvious. |

 But hips still have quite a bit of minerals in them and other antibiotic principles to knock out a cold with, which aren't affected by heat. Heat a quart of water to lukewarm. Remove from heat and add 6 tbsp. of rosehips. Steep for 20 minutes or so. After straining, add some honey, stir well, then drink right away. Or you can take 3-4 rosehip capsules (Nature's Way) from any health food store several times a day with some warm juice or water.

 Similar to other minerals such as fluoride, the levels of selenium in soil varies from region to region. Several studies have documented that people who live in areas where there is a high level of selenium in the soil (which presumably seeps into the food and water supply) have significantly lower levels of stroke that those who live in areas with low levels of selenium in the soil. In fact, because of the high rate of stroke and low levels of selenium in the soil, the selenium poor regions of the southwest United States have been dubbed the "stroke belt. |

| As long as the multisupplement you choose contains the appropriate vitamins, minerals and herbs, there is no reason not to use it. Certainly, taking one pill is a lot easier (and sometimes more economical) than taking a dozen different ones. Therefore, whenever possible, I recommend combination multisupplements for those who want to use them. When it is not possible, however, I still recommend taking individual supplements, or augmenting a combination multisupplement with other supplements. |

Helpful Herbs
Evening primrose oil—This substance is high in GLA (gamma-linoleic acid) a natural antiinflammatory, and may be helpful in treating teenage acne. Evening primrose oil is available in capsules.
Grapeseed—Sold under several different brand names, grapeseed contains bioflavonoids, substances that are related to vitamin C and have been reported to be highly effective acne fighters. Why do these compounds work? Skin cell nourishment depends on healthy blood circulating in the dermis layer. |
| Combination Multisupplements
I am frequently asked whether it is better to take each supplement individually, or to take a combination multisupplement containing several vitamins, minerals, and herbs all in one pill or capsule. Indeed, there are many excellent combination multisupplement formulas on the market that are geared for specific problems. For example, there are multisupplements with potent antioxidants; multisupplements specifically geared for prostate health and multi-supplements for women suffering from PMS or looking to relieve menopausal symptoms. |

 Yeasts: These single-celled organisms contain high concentrations of B vitamins and many minerals.Yeasts can be purchased in dried form and sprinkled on top of foods. Baker's, brewer's, and torula yeast are the three forms of "nutritional" yeasts most commonly available. Do not eat yeast or yeast products if you have candidiasis, the overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans. Candida may overgrow when the immune system is weakened and this may contribute to other immune deficiency health conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome.

 It is a fact that the whole fruit—including the seeds—of an apple contains an amazingly high concentration of vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins that are essential for health. Apple seeds are especially rich in nitrilosides or vitamin B17. The distasteful "spring tonic" or sorghum molasses and sulphur also was a rich source of nitriloside. And grandma's apricot and peach preserves almost always contained the kernels of these canned fruits for winter eating. She probably didn't know what they contained or why they were good for you. |
| The answer to cancer, therefore, is to avoid excessive damage or stress to the body, to minimize foods that preempt the pancreatic enzymes for their digestion, and to maintain a diet rich in all minerals and vitamins—especially vitamin B17.
Opposition to the nutritional concept of cancer is strong and vocal. This concept has been branded as fraud and quackery by the Food and Drug Administration, the American Cancer Society, and the American Medical Association. |
| The other common factor, of course, is the food, which, typically, is low in carbohydrates, high in vegetable proteins, and rich in minerals and vitamins, especially vitamin B17.
The Indians of North America, while they remained true to their native customs and foods, also were remarkably free from cancer. At one time, the American Medical Association urged the federal government to conduct a study in an effort to discover why there was so little cancer among the Hopi and Navajo Indians. |
| Just as in the past when valuable minerals or oil were discovered on Indian lands, government bureaucracy would move the Indians away to "better land," so attempts are being made now to move all innovators and pioneers on vitamin B17 away from the development—through the invocation of one legal ruse or another—until it "cools," and then allow monopoly supporting the involved bureaucracy to preempt the field....
Please keep in mind that the potential or waiting market for Aprikern is at least as great as that for all the other vitamins, including C. |

Keeping the Flavor
You're more likely to win with a low-fat diet if you ease into it. "Look at what you're already eating and how you could eat the same foods with less fat," advises Susan Kayman, R.D., Dr.P.H., a dietitian and consultant with the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group in Oakland, California. Here are some suggestions.
Skip the greasy extras. A lot of the foods we eat are naturally low in fat until we heap them with extras like butter, dressings and creams. |
| Of all the minerals, zinc is probably the most important for maintaining immunity," Dr. Phillips says. A shortage can cause a drop in production of the white blood cells that surround and destroy microscopic invaders. Zinc also helps the body process vitamin D, another important nutrient that bolsters immunity. To get the RDA of 15 milligrams from your diet, eat lean red meat, oysters, milk, oats, whole grains, eggs and poultry. Avoid supplements providing more than 40 milligrams, Dr. Blumberg warns. Beyond these levels, zinc can actually slow down the immune system. |
| When you become dehydrated, you lose not only water but also valuable electrolytes—essential minerals like potassium and sodium—which can leave you feeling especially tapped out. The feeling is like a hangover; you're achy, drained and feeling out of it. "When your body gets even a little low on fluids, physical performance and brain power can hit the skids," says Miriam Nelson, Ph.D., a research scientist and exercise physiologist in the Human Physiology Laboratory at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston. |
| Restless legs syndrome has been linked to a low intake of the B vitamins, specifically vitamin B12 and folic acid, as well as many minerals, including iron, potassium and calcium, says Dr. Stern. So it's important to get enough of them in your diet.
Eat light and early. Do you chow down seven-course meals at 9:00 p.m.? Or make midnight raids on the fridge? If so, your overstuffed stomach may be to blame for your restless legs. "The process of digesting a heavy or spicy meal can trigger restless leg symptoms," says Dr. Stern.
Apply warmth ... or cold. Here again, you must experiment. |
| A junk food diet high in sugar, fat and processed foods gives your body few or none of the basic vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs to perform at normal levels. And sometimes just the slightest deficiency of any one nutrient is all it takes to send energy levels plummeting.
The answer, says Dr. Peter Miller, is to find a balance in both the amount and the types of food that you eat. |

 They also contain high levels of phytates, which bind with minerals such as iron and zinc and prevent their absorption by the body. In 1998, the FDA declared that these problems are not an issue for any soy product that has been subjected to heat through cooking.42 This includes nearly all soy foods, with the exception of products like un-toasted soy flour. These questionable substances are almost completely eliminated from traditional soy foods like tempeh and miso during the fermentation process. |
