 And so the need to maximize the use of available sunlight in order to create sufficient vitamin D created a new evolutionary pressure, this time for lighter skin. Recent scientific sleuthing reported in the prestigious journal Science goes so far as to say that white-skinned people are actually black-skinned mutants who lost the ability to produce significant amounts of eumelanin.
Redheads, with their characteristic milky white skin and freckles, may be a further mutation along the same lines. In order to survive in places with infrequent and weak sunlight, such as in parts of the U.K. |
| There is growing evidence that vitamin D inhibits the growth of cancerous cells in the prostate and in other areas, including the colon, too. Epidemiologists, who specialize in unlocking the mystery of where, why, and in whom disease occurs, have found that the risk of prostate cancer for black men in America climbs from south to north. When it comes to prostate cancer in black men, the risk is considerably lower in sunny Florida. But as you move north, the rate of prostate cancer in black men climbs until it peaks in the often cloud-covered heights of the Northeast. |
| The ApoE4 gene keeps the blood full of cholesterol even though there's not enough sunlight in a northern climate to convert it to vitamin D. As cholesterol builds up, it attaches to the walls of your arteries—eventually, it can build up so much that it results in a blockage that causes a heart attack or a stroke.
The pharmaceutical industry has begun to take the genetic differences of populations into account. This study of how genetic variation can affect pharmaceutical treatment is called pharmacogenetics, and it's already producing results. |
| The compounds in the vitamin supplements include methyl donors—molecules that form the methyl groups that become these genetic stop signs.
Thin and brown weren't the only benefits the mice gained through methylation. The agouti gene in mice is linked to higher rates of diabetes and cancer. The mice with the switched-off agouti genes had significantly lower rates of cancer and diabetes than their parents.
Of course, we've long understood the basic idea that good nutrition in an expectant mother is important for infant health. |

 Needed supplements: vitamin B2 (25 mg daily), CoQ10 (30-100 mg daily). monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois): isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), and tranylcypromine (Parnate)
These are seldom used, and only when others have failed.
Actions: They work by inhibiting or reducing the levels of the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) that breaks down neurotransmitters in the brain. MAOIs also can cause blood pressure to rise.
Side effects: They can cause dangerously high blood pressure if taken with decongestants, antihistamines, or foods containing tyramine, such as cheese or red wine. |

 I don't have to give them as many B vitamin shots, and sometimes we just skip them altogether, because they're getting the Bs so fast from the greens.
Mike: So you've been recommending this product to your clients?
Dr. Weiss: Oh, absolutely. I'm also a cardiologist. As a cardiologist, I'll go and bring natural medicine sometimes to the nursing homes, and when someone's bedridden or in a wheelchair, giving them shots of these vitamins is really hard. They are likely to get sores and other complications from the injection. We're seeing really nice effects from the greens. |

 The Wellness Support Network also has a multi vitamin / mineral supplement and a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee on their products. They post a number of clinical studies that I'm willing to bet the FDA will force them to take down before long (the FDA hates it when nutritional supplement companies tell the truth about the science behind their supplements). So you'd better read the science before it gets censored by the feds.
Summary: Unique, food-based supplements called "FoodForm." Excellent for people who aren't getting results from cheaper, mass-produced vitamins and supplements. |
| Although it's important to note that bone mineral density is not merely caused by calcium deficiency; it's also caused by drinking coffee and sugary sodas, eating refined sugars or lacking sufficient vitamin D. A lack of physical exercise will also harm bone density.

 It is 450 milligrams of EPA, and the vitamin D ranges anywhere from around 10 to 40 IU, which doesn't necessarily come up to your 100 percent level of intake, but it does affect brain health and mood. The vitamin A can range anywhere from about 990 IU to 1,950 IU. This comes close to 40 percent of a recommended daily allowance.
Mike: A couple of things are interesting with your product. You have unique single-dose packaging.
Benoit: For the cod liver, yes. It is available in orange flavor, which is the first product we introduced that way. |

 If your stools become loose cut back the vitamin C by taking a dose every two hours. Also take 250-500 mg of bioflavonoids a day to stimulate the immune system.
Herbs: Take 900 mg of echinacea a day in capsule form, or 2-4 ml of tincture four times a day, to stimulate the immune system. Taking 5-10 ml of elderberry tincture three times a day is helpful in fighting viral infections, which may be causing the fever. Yarrow induces sweat to help break a fever. Take 300 mg in capsule form, 2 ml of tincture, or 1 cup of fresh tea four times a day. |

 It is speculated that this protection is conferred because the green leafy vegetables contain high concentrations of n-3 fatty acids and antioxidants such as vitamin E.15 On its face, this seems to make sense, since antioxidant molecules (which plants naturally produce for protection from the highly reactive oxygen atoms generated through photosynthesis) are thought to neutralize the free radicals in our bodies, which can damage DNA and lead to cell death and tissue damage. |

 Before I started this cleansing regime, I was on over a dozen different medical drugs and vitamin supplements. After only one liver cleanse I was able to stop taking my thyroid medication, which I had been on for five years.
"As a middle-aged baby boomer entering menopause, I have been surprised to have my menstrual cycle return immediately after a few of the cleanses, suggesting that the premature onset of menopause, in my case, may have been accelerated because of a congested liver and colon. |

| In a study conducted by researchers in Japan who analyzed the food consumption habits of sixty-four Japanese AD patients and eighty age-matched healthy subjects, researchers found that AD patients tended to consume less fish and green-yellow vegetables (containing vitamin C and carotene) while taking in more red meats than controls. The lesson: The weight of most major studies on the dietary aspects of AD seems to suggest that less saturated fats from red meat and greater intake of fish may reduce your risk for cognitive decline. |

 When a doctor's patient dies of influenza, it is not the virus that is deadly, but the patient's compromised immune system due to chronic, long-standing deficiencies of vitamin C and magnesium intake, combined with the drugs and vaccines that doctors use that send old and young alike to their graves. It's easy to blame doctors, but it is even easier to inform one's self, and make sure that our body has sufficient stores of the vital mineral nutrients that it needs, beginning with magnesium. |

 The more reactive ROS such as the hydroxide radical (HO) can react directly with vitamin E too, and other molecules such as vitamin C or glutathione can play the role of the flavonoid.
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis, more commonly known as hardening of the arteries, is a form of cardiovascular disease. It is a very serious condition that kills many people each year and decreases the quality of life for many more. On a molecular level, atherosclerosis has its origins in ROS damage.
The trouble begins largely with lifestyle choices, although there are genetic aspects as well. |

| There may be other underlying physiological causes that manifest as the symptoms of brain aging, including: hypothyroidism, vascular disease, vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies, depression, fatigue, grief, dehydration, vision or hearing loss, alcohol use, complications from diabetes, from epilepsy, and from medications, or chronic stress. These alternative causes—which clinicians call "differential diagnoses"—can often be treated by your physician, and may reverse apparent symptoms of brain aging before you need to go through the trouble of making an appointment to see a specialist. |

 I can't put that much vitamin C in my dog food. My senior dog needed a lot more vitamin C. My adult dog needed 1,000 milligrams less a day than the puppies and the senior dog. You can address the individual needs of the pet and bring a total supplement that is going to help that animal more than one bag of dog food will.
We don't have puppy formula or senior formula for that reason. Most companies that have a senior or puppy food are only cleaning up their meat source from what they put in their adult formula. |

 Sunlight photons also help us generate vitamin D, which prevents cancer, diabetes, depression and bone loss. Infrared radiation has been proven to speed recovery of wounds and injuries, and infrared LED devices are being tested by NASA to speed the growth of plants in space.
Electromagnetic energy affects every living system, and light is only one narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the last hundred years or so, many open-minded medical pioneers have looked for other healing applications of vibrational energy. |

| N-3 fatty acids are being hyped in ways reminiscent of vitamin E, and beta-carotene before it, and oat bran before that. I must emphasize that there is much we don't yet know about the compound, including whether n-3 fatty acids from plants are as good as those from fish, and whether supplements are a help or hindrance. Take your n-3 fatty acids if you wish, but also take care not to overestimate their contribution to your cognitive health until more is known. |

 Green tea has been shown to have the highest content of polyphenols, which are chemicals with potent antioxidant properties (believed to be greater than even vitamin C). They give tea its bitter flavor. Because green tea leaves are young and have not been oxidized, green tea has up to 40 percent polyphenols, while black tea contains only about 10 percent. Another interesting note: Green tea has one-third the caffeine of black tea. |

| Patients on dialysis or who have their stomachs removed are also probably deficient in the vitamin. Current research seems to indicate that Bg enhances the immune response in the elderly and may alleviate some signs of carpal tunnel syndrome, a wrist problem. Overdosing on £$6 is unwise. A study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1983 described the loss of balance and numbness suffered by seven young adults who took from two to six grams of pyridoxine daily for several months to a year. |

| To make sufficient amounts of vitamin D, dark-skinned people need to spend at least two to three times longer in the sun than do Caucasians. Their skin absorbs sun rays less efficiently, hence their need for extended sun exposure. Not being exposed to enough sunlight puts African-American men, for example, at a much higher risk of developing cancer of the prostate than white American men. The use of sunscreens, including sunglasses, multiplies this risk.
During the summer period, it is best to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. |

| In addition, researchers found that avocados have nearly twice as much vitamin E as previously reported, making them the highest fruit source of this powerful antioxidant. Avocados also contain four times more beta-sitosterol than any other fruit. Some studies have found that the avocado's beta-sitosterol content, combined with its monounsaturated fat content, helps to lower cholesterol levels.

| E3 DOCTOR'S NOTE:
Professor Tim Lang of the Centre for Food Policy in London states you would have to eat eight modern oranges to obtain the same amount of vitamin A your grandparents enjoyed from just one! Poor nutrient content in soil is not our only worry though. As if the damage caused by pesticides isn't enough, crops are now being altered through genetic modification until they are no longer "natural" at all!

| Other products, such as bottled water, infant formulas, and even vitamin supplements, now contain fluoride! In 2002, nearly 90 percent of the U.S. population was supplied water via public water systems, and around 67 percent of that number received fluoridated water. This occurred in spite of the fact, "No statistically significant differences were found in the decay rates of permanent teeth or the percentages of decay-free children in the fluoridated, non-fluoridated, and partially fluoridated areas."76
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) typically label sodium fluoride as "... |

 A lack of vitamin D renders the body unable to absorb calcium. Without adequate calcium, the heart has trouble functioning correctly, and the nervous system may also suffer. A person deficient in vitamin D may experience heart disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis, pancreatic cancer, gum disease, schizophrenia and many other conditions all stemming from a lack of this single nutrient. Scientists then come along and discover numerous correlations among these diseases. They actually seem astounded, too, because they have no concept of the true underlying causes of disease. |

| Women with PMS have been found to have lower levels of red blood cell magnesium than women who don't have symptoms and the supplementation of magnesium has been found to be extremely useful in alleviating many of the PMS symptoms and even more effective when taken with vitamin B?at the same time. A magnesium deficiency can cause blood vessels to go into spasms so if you suffer from menstrual migraines magnesium can be useful in preventing these spasms.
Magnesium is necessary for serotonin synthesis, which in turn is critical in mood regulation. |
