 They didn't have to be standardized; no one went up to an orange tree and found the nutrition facts labeled and said, "How much vitamin C, calories, sugars, carbohydrates and fiber does this orange have?" They just pulled it off the tree and ate it, and that's essentially all you need to do for balanced nutrition. Trust in nature.
Your body was designed to survive and thrive in the natural environment; otherwise, you wouldn't even exist today. You wouldn't be here. Nature knows best. Modern medicine has only been around for maybe 50 years, depending how you define "modern. |

 Mark Peplow, writing in the excellent but now defunct UK newsletter, Medicine Today, explains that vitamin E, for example, comes in two different forms, tocopherol and tocotrienol, each of which has four sub-divisions named alpha, beta, gamma and delta. And even though alpha-tocopherol is the most important where nutrition is concerned, and is therefore the form that has been studied most extensively, this in itself comes in eight forms, called stereoisomers, which are all processed by the body in different ways. |

 The others are zero in vitamin A and calcium, whereas we have a small amount.
Mike: So, when people go out to a health food store or purchase quinoa products for retail, how can they make sure those products contain whole grain quinoa from your source?
Leventry: When the retail market is involved with purchasing quinoa, we have a distributor list. They can go to our website and see by state what distributors carry our product. They can order it from them. |

| Because vitamin C is old, obvious and natural, the precise opposites of everything needed for a patent, pharma doesn't get involved. Its value in fighting infections and as a protection against cancer is of no interest to anyone except the public. The NHS occasionally conducts studies in the public interest, such as the one in 2004 confirming the cost of the Alzheimer's drug, Aricept, to be too expensive. |

 About 1 month later, on November 13, 2004, the patient returned for another vitamin B-12 injection. She described a slight worsening of her anxiety and panic since stopping the twice-weekly injections. For the previous 2 weeks, the patient had experienced spells of nausea and hot flushes; however, she had not needed to leave work early as she did in the past. Another 1000 meg of hydroxocobalamin was administered IM, and she was instructed to return more regularly for the injections. |

| It is customary for these regulatory mechanisms to go into full force when a meal is missed or delayed, when too many sweets are consumed, when exercise is overdone, or when we experience temporary vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Even though the body has many overlapping mechanisms to guard against hypoglycemia, the patient struggling with anxiety is probably putting added stress on these systems. |
| Its active forms or its coenzymes are both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). vitamin B-3 can be absorbed directly from the stomach, but most of its absorption occurs within the small intestine. The liver contains the most concentrated amounts of the nicotinamide coenzymes, but all metabolically active tissues require these vital metabolic products.
Pellagra
The most common use of nicotinamide and niacin is for the treatment of pellagra. |

 D, regular exercise, not smoking, low alcohol intake, and fall prevention are important steps for bone health as well as other health benefits.
Natural interventions for mildly low bone density and osteoporosis include dietary and lifestyle factors, exercise, nutritional supplementation, the use of phytoestrogens, and natural (bio-identical) hormone replacement therapy. Each of these areas deserves special attention. |

 Statistics show that on average 40 percent of vegetarians and meat eaters suffer from a vitamin B12 deficiency, indicating that lack of animal flesh is clearly not the cause.
There are so many reasons for B12 deficiencies but many people now believe that being too clean—in other words sterilizing everything possible—will destroy many of the friendly bacteria that make B12. So using antiseptic soaps and bleaching agents on everything can, in fact, upset the delicate balance of friendly bacteria and this can result in serious health problems. |

 A small number of schizophrenics treated with vitamin B-3 go through a phase when melanin is deposited in their skin, particularly in the flexor surfaces. It resembles an old suntan, which begins to fade. The discoloration of skin is not pathological. Parsons also saw this in a few patients treated with niacin for hypercholesterolemia.27 He described it as a localized, velvety thickening and tanning of the skin. It is not acanthosis nigricans, a term used by Lipton et al%s who erroneously concluded this after misreading a paper published by Wittenborn, Weber, and Brown. |

| Raymond Depaulo, professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) had the advantage in that half the patients taking them could feel as though they were taking nothing more than a vitamin pill. This wasn't the case with their predecessors, the tricyclics.
In general, when you're taking a tricyclic, although the side effects may be trivial and you may be thrilled to make the trade of a little dry mouth and a little constipation for not being depressed, you know you're taking it. But they're good drugs. |

| The Adrenochrome Hypothesis may account for the final clinical picture, but the abnormal changes are triggered by a number of factors, such as cerebral allergies, vitamin dependencies and deficiencies, and so on. The essential fatty acids76'77 and the prostaglandins78-79 are involved. One day all these factors will be examined and co-related so that we will have a clear picture of what happens when a person becomes schizophrenic.60
All three known pathways by which the catecholamines are metabolized play a role in the body. |

 Vitamin C makes up only 15% of a cell's antioxidant defences. of blood vessel walls that is the cause of many vascular diseases. However, it is helpful to recognize the limits of this theory and stop seeing foods only as sources of miracle antioxidants. |
| No clinical study has ever shown that massive doses of vitamin supplements can help bring about any sort of preventive effect against cancer and other chronic diseases. The results of some studies carried out in this field have pointed instead in exactly the opposite direction: there is an increase in the risk of death associated with taking high doses of these supplements. |
| In summary, citrus fruits should not be seen solely as excellent sources of vitamin C, but also as foods capable of supplying the body with several anti-cancer phytochemical compounds. The many compounds present in these fruits act directly on cancerous cells, stopping their progression; they also exercise beneficial action as anti-inflammatories, and by modifying the absorption and elimination of other substances. The daily consumption of citrus fruit, in the form of whole fruit or juice, is a simple and effective way of adding zest to a diet oriented toward cancer prevention. |
| One of these molecules, hesperidin, was even known for a time as "vitamin R" because it preserves capillary blood vessel integrity by strengthening and toning blood vessels and reducing their permeability. Because inflammatory processes are characterized by an increase in blood vessel permeability, this effect of the polyphenols found in citrus reveal them to be anti-inflammatory molecules, a property that could well contribute to cancer prevention. |
| THE PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOUNDS IN CITRUS FRUITS
Everyone, it seems, is now aware that citrus fruits are an abundant source of vitamin C; what is less well known is that citrus fruits also contain several phytochemical compounds that are in all likelihood responsible for their anti-cancer properties. The orange, for example, contains almost two hundred different compounds, among them about sixty polyphenols as well as several members of a very fragrant class of molecules, the terpenes. |
| Upon drinking the tea, Cartier's shipmates were all rapidly cured; we now know that the miracle cure worked because of the presence of proanthocyanidins, which made up for the absence of vitamin C. |

| After 6 months of the vitamin plan, he added a standardized extract of Kava two to three times each day. Within 2 weeks, his anxiety symptoms were markedly improved. He was able to be in stressful social situations without blushing or appearing nervous.
However, by the fourth week of continual Kava use, he experienced pronounced depression. The depression became so unbearable that he felt it necessary to discontinue the Kava. After a few days of discontinuing the Kava, the patient's depression completely lifted. In an attempt to see if the Kava was the problem, the patient resumed taking Kava. |

| One orange does not have the same exact vitamin C content as another orange, even if they're from the same tree. Two different berries from the same berry plant have a different chemical makeup. In nature, things are varied, and the way we are supposed to interact with nature is to eat a varied diet.
This is a protection mechanism. It makes sure that we don't get too much of one particular phytonutrient, mineral or phytochemical while simultaneously we get a broad spectrum of everything we need. That's balanced. We don't have to be precise about every phytonutrient. |

 With a natural model, nobody's ever going to say, "Okay, take this vitamin E, take this CoQ10, but don't eat them." It's a multi-therapeutic model. But it's the only thing that can work.
In Asia, the No. 2-consumed liquid is green tea. They smoke much more than Americans. Alcohol consumption, I believe, is higher, but there is far less cancer. What's going on there?
Mike: Right. And I know we're getting a little bit off track with the product, but I'm so curious about your experience as a cardiologist. |

1) Anti-carcinogenic—A large body of epidemiologic evidence now exists which suggests that cancer mortality goes up when selenium content of soil and thus of crops goes down. Investigators have mapped the selenium content of the various states of the United States and have found its distribution highly uneven, with the highest levels in South Dakota and the lowest in Ohio. These researchers have shown that Rapid City, South Dakota, has the lowest overall cancer mortality rate in the nation, while Ohio has a rate nearly double that of South Dakota. |

 For those who are purists, we supplement yeast for the B vitamin supplement. You should not have yeast in your dog food. It can actually become toxic to the liver. It becomes very hard for the body to break down. Unfortunately, a lot of people will get into the habit of using a lot of nutritional yeast in their diet. They will start to get sore joints, and they don't consider it's the yeast. When I used to work with humans as a naturopathic doctor, I couldn't believe the amount of people who were coming to me as heavy yeast users. |

Natural or Organic
The demand for natural or organic products has increased by 20 percent each year since 1990. With the expansion of the market, thirty-five different certifying private organizations tried to offer definitions of this category of food. Food labels appeared on many products claiming that a product is "natural" and contains "no preservatives or MSG," but they had no legal meaning. |
