| Nutritional deficiencies of essential fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium and other minerals, and iron appear to play a role. Finally, do not underestimate the role of emotional stress and its relationship to ADHD. The breakdown of the family unit in our culture places abnormal stresses on a child which can result in attention and behavior changes.

| They are necessary for the proper functioning of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and other metabolic activities in the body. Minerals compose 4 percent of the body's weight. Most minerals, such as calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium, are found in the bones. Some minerals are required in minute amounts; these are called trace minerals. Chromium is an example of a trace mineral, because it is required in micrograms (1/100th of a milligram), as opposed to minerals like calcium, which are required in milligrams. |

 Their skepticism, strangely enough, is only directed toward vitamins, herbs, and natural treatments like acupuncture. But where's the skepticism about the outlandish claims, exaggerated hype, and fraudulent science behind conventional medicine?
Healthy skepticism has been missing for so long in the discussions about medicine and health that any person who dares to ask common sense questions is instantly labeled a quack. |

 We can see that the relationship of food to the human system is more than just adding up calories, vitamins, and minerals to be materially accumulated as building blocks in our bodies. On a general level, each vegetable and animal substance radiates a unique, species-specific, subtle vibration from its energy field. As solid, whole, organic, live food it maintains its SOEE Although this is true for both plants and animals, for the rest of this discussion we will refer only to plant foods, as they exist on a more primary level in the food chain than animals. |

 Changes in Nutritional Quality of Milk
Available data on the effects of hormones on the nutritional status and composition of milk, including protein subfractions, vitamins, and minerals, are minimal. However, it is clear that the hormones induce a wide range of measurable changes in milk composition. Increased fat yields and concentrations have been noted (Bitman et al, 1989). |

 In other words, nearly every calorie consumed came with relatively large amounts of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and healthy fats but relatively little starch (carbohydrate) and no pure sugars.
Nutrient-Dense Foods
So what exactly did early humans eat in the distant past? Dr. S. Boyd Eaton of Emory University and Loren Cordain, Ph.D., of Colorado State University have conducted extensive research on ancient hunter-gatherer diets, which is what all humans once consumed. People hunted wild animals for meat and foraged for edible plants. |
| Turkel found that the combination of vitamins, minerals, and medications could offset many of the disastrous consequences of Down syndrome. While his nutrition-medication program cannot alter the genetic cause of Down syndrome, it did appear to improve overall gene function and biochemistry.
Turkel found that the earlier a child began receiving supplements, the more normal his or her intelligence and appearance would be by the mid- to late teens. |

| Meal-replacement drinks are commonly available from natural health-care practitioners and at health-food stores.
People who have diabetes should avoid fasts. And, if you have a chronic health condition, you should fast only under the supervision of a medical professional.
People who do not react well to fasts often do better on the modified versions, such as those that use meal-replacement drinks.
If you have little experience in fasting, work with a nutrition-oriented doctor for guidance.

 HCI facilitates the absorption of folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamins A and E, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, non-heme iron and some forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
Your body makes about 2 liters of gastric juices a day. In turn, the parietal cells produce HCI acid. HCI is produced in minimal amounts when you are not eating, at about 10 percent of maximal rate. The pH on an empty stomach should normally be about 1.8-2.0.

 Oranges and other fruits are healthy and filled with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that we need every day. But did you know that there is so much sugar in a glass of orange juice that, in an attempt to appear healthy, Coca-Cola® is comparing its sugar content to that found in orange juice? The obvious implication is that their soft drink is not a health risk because of its sugar levels. But just the opposite is true. Orange juice is not a healthy drink because of its high sugar levels. |

 In fact, the evidence suggests that the flavonoids are more important antioxidants than vitamins C or E, or p-carotene. Just about all fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants—that old saying about an apple a day keeping the doctor away is probably truer than anyone realized. The list in Exhibit 5.1 gives some examples of foods that have potent antioxidant properties.33

 Getting the Most from Your Multivitamin
The levels of various vitamins and minerals needed can vary dramatically among individuals according to need, whether or not they are taking medication, their exposure to chemicals, and the presence of disease. In addition, many people use nutrients over a short term for therapeutic purposes and take higher levels than they might take over the long term. Because of this, nutrient levels can only ever be approximate. |
| To fully detox and protect yourself from chemical damage, it may be necessary for you to take additional supplements of some vitamins, such as vitamin C. The "Daily Supplement Program" sidebar (page 50) details precisely how much of each supplement, including your multivitamin, you should take daily.
It is also of vital importance to get the right multivitamin and mineral supplement, since the dosages of many are lower than many scientists now believe necessary, as they were calculated without taking into consideration the increased need due to the presence of chemicals. |
| This is because MSM, a natural form of sulfur, combined with a good supply of vitamins and minerals, can boost the body's natural ability to create these sulfur-containing amino acids.
I have added this fabulous antioxidant to the program because it appears to play an essential role in cleaning up and safely removing some of the most persistent heavy metals, such as mercury, from the body. |
| When taking any fiber in the form of supplements, you should ideally take vitamins and minerals at least half an hour and preferably a whole hour after the soluble fiber. You can either take them once a day with your largest meal, or take smaller amounts before meals throughout the day. Furthermore, the binding substances in fiber can be so effective that they could potentially bind with any medications you are taking, thereby reducing their effect. |
| They also use up a whole raft of nutrients, which are not only essential for powering the body, particularly the B group of vitamins, but are also essential in detoxifying the vast majority of toxic chemicals. This is why drinking alcohol when detoxing is not advised, and limiting alcohol at other times is the best way forward.

Trans-fats are created when polyunsaturated oils and fats are heated in cooking. Food fried in sunflower oil, for example, is high in trans-fats; so is most deep-fried food. |
