 In its worst form, celiac disease can produce weight loss with resulting malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies, and diarrhea. But occasionally none of these symptoms exist, and people may instead have fatigue, achy joints, or symptoms suggestive of IBS. The initial evaluation for this disorder uses a blood test that looks for antibodies against elements within the gut. If these tests are positive, your doctor will send you to a gas-troenterologist who will want to visualize and biopsy your small intestine. |

 The EWG means well, but they remain ignorant of the nutritional impact of vitamin D. They're experts on toxicology, not nutrition, and they still suffer under the illusion that the less sunlight consumers receive on their skin, the healthier they will be (hence the EWG's insistence that sunscreen products with ineffective UV blocking are also "unsafe"). The EWG also seems to be completely unaware that the best sunscreen is internal sunscreen built from antioxidants. |

| On the other hand, your body can't get all of the vital nutrients it needs from fruits and vegetables alone, so this diet can be dangerous; that's the reason vitamin supplements are critical. As you can see, this is a very strict diet that you may decide is not terribly practical even to consider. The bottom line is that these diets can help, but they are very demanding and in this regard not terribly practical. But if you are interested in trying one of these, I would recommend that you do so in close consultation with a nutritionist. |

 The hips from the wild or dog rose contain the highest amount of vitamin C found in any plant, making it useful as a preventive for any type of infection. As a beauty aid, rose tones and cleanses the skin while smoothing wrinkles and clearing blemishes and acne.
In Plant Spirit Healing Rose heals the heart when it has been battered, repeatedly hurt, and there is an enormous amount of grief that one has a hard time moving through. The heart chakra appears torn and tattered along the edges when at this level of compromise. Rachael told me the story of her experience with Rose. |

This new research found that 17 percent of women with depression showed thinner hip bones, while only 2 percent of non-depressed women showed the same thinness of hip bones. The mainstream media is reporting on the study in articles like this one at the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7109955.stm
The more idiotic media outlets are even reporting that depression causes osteoporosis. See this article in The Hindu: http://www.hindu. |

| Many plant constituents have a bitter taste: alkaloids, secondary metabolites, anthraquinones, which have laxative effects; cyanogenic glycosides, which have sedative and antispasmodic properties; flavonoids, which include rutin (part of the vitamin C complex) and flavones; and isoflavones, which have estrogenic-like properties.
The pungent or spicy taste is stimulating and warming, usually having some type of effect on the circulatory system. |

| In order to accomplish that, they have to get the medical researchers, the mainstream media and members of the public to all play along and pretend that vitamin D has nothing to do with these diseases. They also have to get everybody to pretend that antidepressant drugs are a treatment for osteoporosis -- an idea that's utter nonsense and, in fact, may be the exact opposite of what's really true. Notice, for example, that the women in the study showing the lowest bone density were already on antidepressant drugs. |

Although you can switch from red meat to fowl and then to fish, you probably should try to stick with only one major food source for at least a week, allowing yourself red meat on the last day of the week. The simpler and more consistent your food intake is from day to day, the easier it will be to figure out if any of these food restrictions has an effect on your symptoms. |

 Unless, that is, she takes calcium and vitamin D (which comes free with ten minutes of morning sun a day) and does some form of exercise or strength training to stress the bones. Walking doesn't quite do the job—save that for later in life. But as a young adult, weight training or any sport that involves running or jumping will counteract the natural loss. The degree to which you can prevent the loss is impressive: one study found that women can double their leg strength in just a few months of weight training. |

 These are major problems, and vitamin A is another factor that helps prevent them.
We have grape seed extract in there. The reason is that grape seed extract is one of the best collagen cross-linkers known. You get weakened blood vessels when you get glycation of the proteins because you have high blood sugar all the time. If you can cross-link those proteins and collagen, you are going to prevent the blood vessels from just deteriorating. That is some of the design logic that goes into a product like Diabetes Defense.

 I also slammed some zinc, 2000mg of vitamin C, plus a round of Chinese herbs like cinnamon and Dang Gui. When fighting cold symptoms, I also eat or drink nothing cold and consume only hot or warm foods and beverages. The next morning, all my symptoms were completely gone, never to return.

 If you're serious about creating new results in 2008, consider some of the following ingredients that are required to create better results:
150+ hours of physical exercise (over the entire year)
150+ hours of time in nature (including sunshine to boost vitamin D)
300+ hours of reading (minimum)
300+ hours of acquiring new skills (learning)
365 superfood smoothies or fresh, raw juice drinks (see The Secret of Juice Feasting)
1,095 nutritional supplements (that's 3 per day, every day of the year) to enhance longevity, protect the nervous system, eliminate nutritional deficiencies and more. |
| I will spend more time in nature to boost my intake of vitamin D.
I will read twenty books from cover to cover and thoroughly learn a subject area that interests me.
... and so on.
Once you name the results you wish to achieve, then you can consider the game plan for getting there.
Ask yourself: What will it realistically take for me to achieve these desired results?
And now, here's where the real need for honesty kicks in. What changes (improvements) will you need to make in your day-to-day lifestyle to achieve these results? |

America is a fast-food nation. If we aren't picking it up at a drive-through window, we're nuking it in a microwave.

Why vitamin D is never mentioned
There is a great reluctance in both conventional medicine and the mainstream media (which is largely funded by drug ads, after all) to admit that a nutrient has any importance whatsoever in the prevention of disease. Modern medicine likes to pretend that nutrition has absolutely no role in human health; that diseases are largely a matter of luck; and that only expensive pharmaceuticals (not nutrients) can prevent or treat any disease. |

?Don't strain! Sit down and relax; do some deep breathing; elevate your feet slightly; and let nature take its course.

| Folic acid, a B family vitamin, is rapidly used up by cancer cells for growth. Anti-folic acid drugs, such as methotrexate, are utilized in cancer treatment. But now there are second thoughts about anti-folate drugs. Folic acid enters cells through the folate receptor. By coupling anti-cancer drugs with folic acid, the drugs can enter cells more readily. Since cancer cells have a voracious appetite for folic acid, 500,000 times greater than healthy cells, this kind of treatment becomes more targeted than standard chemotherapy. [Reuters, Sept. |
