| Low bone mass may be due to osteoporosis and/or poor bone quality. vitamin D deficiency and other causes of hyperparathyroidism can lead to poor
237 bone quality as well. Clinically, the term osteoporosis is used in reference to loss of bone associated with relatively atraumatic fractures of the ribs, spine, wrist, and hips. |
| Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake is needed to achieve the genetically determined peak bone mass, to maintain bone mass once this peak has been achieved, and to maintain the strength and integrity of the skeleton throughout our lives.28
The intake of calcium is most important during the bone-building years of childhood through adolescence and in old age. During puberty, calcium is required for bone growth and for the achievement of maximal calcification. |

 Called the "sunshine vitamin" because the skin can manufacture it when the face and arms are exposed to sunlight for just fifteen minutes, vitamin D aids the absorption of dietary calcium. Most people can get what they need through brief exposure to sunlight in the summer months or by consuming fortified dairy products. The combination of calcium and vitamin D is particularly effective for preventing bone loss in older individuals, which is one reason why the National Academy of Sciences in 1997 tripled the recommended intake of vitamin D for people over seventy to 600 I. U. per day. |

 He and Popp decided to try making the Acetabularia "ill" by depriving it of most of its vitamin supply for 24 hours before treatment. This appeared to make no difference. The plants' biophotons didn't change. No amount of exposure to an accumulator of any variety seemed to make one bit of difference to the health or well-being of any of the plants.
Blasband and Popp then decided to test whether a mental intention could boost the action of the accumulators. |

 Klenner is right though, medical authorities would standby and watch millions die rather than entertain the thought that it all could be stopped by using vitamin C and magnesium chloride. That would be just too simple. Don't sit idly by and let it happen to you, or someone that you love.
There should be no doubt that key government officials are in bed with the pharmaceutical companies. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, for example, seems likely to profit greatly from government purchase of Tamiflu, the drug developed by Gilead Sciences when Rumsfeld was president of the company. |

 Lovejoy: Actually, if you buy it at the vitamin shop, it only runs $32 for the canister, which is a 30-day supply. That's an incredible value. Then we have individual servings containing 28 packets for $35. That's wonderful. You can also buy it on the internet at EmeraldBalance.com. The prices are $39 and down, depending upon how much you order.
Mike: Okay, so the website is EmeraldBalance.com. Some of the retailers include the vitamin Shoppe. What are some others?
Lovejoy: You can also find it at GNC stores and Ralph's Markets grocery stores in California. |

 The problem that you run into is that everybody looks at vitamin E, or calcium, or selenium, or something else as a drug, and that’s how we do our research. So everybody looks at it as a drug, and that’s the way the doctors look at it.
But what you really find out, is that vitamin E is really not a drug. It is just a nutrient that we should be getting from our food. Because of supplementation now, we can get it at levels you can't obtain from food. |

| When you're taking vitamin C and vitamin E, you really only have that protection for usually six hours and sometimes up to eight hours, depending upon how much you're taking. What you can do is when you add aloe vera, it extends the life by up to 25 percent, which is really an incredible ingredient. People ask me why I feel so good, for so long.

 Spirulina is an excellent source of trace vitamins, vitamin B12, and it has a little GLA oil in it too. It's ocean dried blue-green algae, and it's an outstanding health product. Also you've got aloe vera in here, which has benefits for cardiovascular health. That's my opinion, not their claim.
Wright: I've found the same thing, what I was alluding to earlier was using it for the more body building fitness aspect. What a lot of people don't know about is balancing your body's pH. When you're on a heavy protein diet, things like stress and processed foods will drive you into acidic pH. |

 Some doctors are now prescribing UVB tanning beds three times a week for six months to get their patients' vitamin D back up to healthy levels!
Folic acid or folate, depending on its form, is just as important to human life. Folate gets its name from the Latin word for "leaf" because one of the best sources for folate is leafy greens like spinach and cabbage. Folate is an integral part of the cell growth system, helping the body to replicate DNA when cells divide. This, of course, is critical when humans are growing the fastest, especially during pregnancy. |

 In fact, you can go a couple of months without renewing the vitamin if you have a full storage of vitamin D in your body, because remember, the human body is designed to make it through the winter and still be healthy. You can store this nutrient by getting more sunlight one day than the next.
Now unbelievably, people in this culture have been taught that sunlight is dangerous and that it will kill them. They have been taught to wear sunscreen at all times, and never get any exposure to the sun. |
| It's also interesting to note that your body automatically produces just the right amount of vitamin D. If you get more sunlight than you need, you cannot overdose on vitamin D. Your skin will produce only what's needed, and no more. But the truth is, people don't get enough of this nutrient, and thus they suffer from diseases like depression, schizophrenia, breast cancer, prostate cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and many others.
Now here's the best part of all: How much does it cost you to get sunlight on your skin? Last time I checked, it was free of charge. |
| Your body is a vitamin factory, and it can actually synthesize this nutrient in your skin, where it then goes to your bloodstream and gets circulated throughout your body, where it has special functions in your kidneys, liver and all the other organs where it helps prevent disease and enhance performance.
What is this nutrient? It's called vitamin D, and it is automatically produced by your skin when your skin cells are exposed to the healing rays of natural sunlight. |

 In addition, it is a myth that vegans are more prone to anemia owing to a deficiency in vitamin B12 than meat-eaters. In fact, I see far more anemic meat-eaters than vegetarians who are anemic. I personally suffered years of childhood anemia while on animal proteins, but completely recovered from it after eight weeks on a vegan diet (with the exception of butter). The idea of having to combine certain foods in order to get complete proteins is plain misinformation, too. The body does not depend on food proteins to produce the proteins it requires to be healthy. |
| One gram of vitamin C will neutralize 1 ppm (part per million) of chlorine in 100 gallons of water. This is particularly useful if you want to lie in the bathtub without suffering the irritating effects of chlorine on your skin and in your lungs.
Prill beads are another, far less expensive, form of water treatment. Although they cannot replace a water filter, they still cleanse your drinking water and make it "thinner." This has a positive effect on the blood, lymph, and basic cellular processes. Prill beads are available on the Internet (see Suppliers Lists in the Appendix). |

18. Take Liver Herbs
A number of herbs can further improve the performance of the liver and keep this crucial organ nourished and vital. They can be made into a concoction and are best taken as a tea for 10 days during each change of season or at times of acute illness. While many herbs will help liver function and assist in maintaining clean blood, the following are among the most prominent ones:

 Speak to your doctor about your adding salt back in as natural a form as possible, such as sea salt.
• vitamin B12: 500-1,000 meg daily. If you suspect that you are low in B12, take a sublingual (under the tongue) form. That way it bypasses your digestive system and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Review the dietary recommendations in Chapter 2 for more on adding a greater variety of colorful vegetables into your diet.

 I wanted to stick my head in the studio and say 10 cents of vitamin B2 is more effective. Also, B12 -- there's a whole host of natural things that are great for treating the food allergies. The book will take you through how to prevent the pain, how to treat the pain and how to use the natural things followed by prescription options for each type of pain.
Mike: Do you also cover things people should avoid? For example, dietary influences like aspartame or things that might promote migraines -- or is that a danger zone? |

 Unlike plants, which we can't live without, we don't need to eat meat—with the exception of vitamin B12, every nutrient found in meat can be obtained somewhere else. (And the tiny amount of B12 we need is not too hard to come by; it's found in all animal foods and is produced by bacteria, so you obtain Bn from eating dirty or decaying or fermented produce. |

 Have no illusions: The evildoers who run medicine today are working diligently to create a system of medicine where vitamin companies are shut down, herbal doctors are imprisoned, naturopathic doctors are denied the right to practice medicine, and the truth about the healing powers of vitamins, minerals, herbs, supplements and even ordinary foods is routinely censored.
These devious miscreants want to create a world where you can choose any system of medicine you want, as long as it's their system. |

 Folic acid and prostate cancer
Folic acid, a B family vitamin, is obtained from green leafy vegetables. A survey has found that the higher the dietary intake of folic acid, the lower the risk for prostate cancer. [Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers Prevention 14: 944-48, 2005] Another recent study confirms that low folic acid blood levels are associated with increased risk for prostate cancer. Men with the lowest blood levels of folic acid were 4.79 times more likely to develop prostate cancer than were men with higher blood levels. [Annals Epidemiology Dec. |

| So, for example, you take the RDA of vitamin E now at 30 international units. Well, you don’t even see a health benefit in the medical literature until you get over 100 international units. The health benefit seems to go up to 400 IUs to be the optimal level. There are even a few studies showing that maybe there is a health benefit above that, but at least most people who really studied the medical literature show that 400 IUs is an ideal amount or an optimal level. Well, I could go out and eat 400 IUs of vitamin E. I would only need to eat 27 pounds of butter or 5 pounds of wheat germ. |

 Subjects were randomly assigned to receive 2 tablets of a combination product containing 286 mg of Saw Palmetto/phytosterol (Saw Palmetto standardized to 40% to 50% free fatty acids/3-sitosterol standardized to 43%), 378 mg cemitin, and 100 international units of vitamin E daily or placebo for 3 months. Improvement of 242% in daytime urinary frequency and 258% in nocturia were also observed compared to placebo over the 3-month treatment period (p=0.031 and p less than 0.001, respectively) (Pruess et al, 2001). |

| Insufficient bile secretion and disturbance of the cholesterol metabolism, both of which are caused by gallstones in the liver, lead to vitamin D deficiency. Lack of sufficient exposure to natural sunlight further aggravates these conditions.
Infection of bones, or osteomyelitis, may result when there has been a prolonged lymphatic obstruction in the body, especially in or around bone tissues. Consequently, blood-borne microbes gain unhindered access to bones. As mentioned before, infectious microbes only attack tissues that are acidified, weak, unstable, or damaged. |

| Nutrients depleted: Chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, and thiorizadine deplete CoQ10, melatonin, and vitamin B2; haloperidol depletes CoQ10. Although there's not as much information on depletions with the newer atypical medicines, their mode of action and side-effect profiles are similar enough to expect that they will deplete the same nutrients as the older, typical antipsychotics.
Needed supplements:
• CoQ10: 30-100 mg daily. |
| Like vitamin B12, folate is a key player in the synthesis of DNA and in methylation (a biological process that helps DNA resist cancerous changes)—therefore, it's important for cancer prevention. Low folic acid levels in the body are linked with cancers of the cervix, colon, rectum, esophagus, lung, brain, breast, and pancreas.
Folic acid helps to prevent heart disease, too. A study of nearly 2,000 Finnish men found that those who got the most folate in their diets had about 45 percent as much risk of a heart attack, compared with men who ate the least folate. |
