| Now this is a favorite myth of conventional medicine, which is to say that all you need to have adequate nutrition is to eat three balanced meals a day, and you'll get all the vitamins and minerals you need. You don't need any supplementation whatsoever.
That's a common myth promoted by people in conventional medicine who really don't have the education or the understanding in nutrition that we would now consider to be authoritative. There have been significant advances in the understanding of nutrition over the last couple of decades. |
| You'd be chewing food constantly just to get the essential vitamins and minerals into your diet that you're supposed to get to avoid chronic disease.
And yet, at the same time, you'd be getting 10,000 calories, which is five times the calories you need, meaning that you'd be packing on pounds at the rate of around two pounds of body fat per day.
So, obviously this is not a strategy for being healthy. |
| It means you have to supplement if you're going to be healthy, and meet the minimum requirements for vitamins and minerals. So, what I'm saying is that the average American must take nutritional supplements if they want to prevent chronic disease, or even meet the basic minimum requirements for nutrient intake.
If you want to exceed those requirements and actually have superior health (that is health that goes beyond just preventing disease and actually taps into the mental and physical performance potential of the human being), then you will need to supplement at very high levels. |

 The effort to outlaw plant extracts, certain vitamins, and certain minerals is just an extension of the philosophy that nutrition should be criminalized. It's part of the belief that people should be controlled and forced into a system of organized medicine based on huge egos, high profitability, control, and limiting people's access to information and choices regarding what they can use to improve their health.
That's why it is important for all of us that the Food Supplements Directive fails and is ruled illegal. |
| The proponents of this directive say that it's about protecting patients from all these dangerous vitamins, minerals, supplements, plant extracts and antioxidants that are so dangerous for people. They say, "We're going to keep you safe!" Let me tell you what I think. It's an attempt to outlaw nutrition. It is an attempt to criminalize those who would offer nutritional products that can actually prevent and even treat chronic diseases.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, look at what it's trying to ban. |

 Any time a pharmaceutical company or a science researcher wants to discredit vitamins, it's very easy to structure a study that will do it. All they have to do is use very low doses and construct a bizarre set of study inclusion guidelines that eliminate all positive results. I've seen studies on vitamin E that were using a fraction of even the basic, minimal US RDA numbers, and even those numbers are way too low to be effective in the first place. So, of course, the results are going to be negative. |

 Our government has a 10-year lag on clear cut science before even conservatively suggesting vitamins to fortify a given health need. In keeping with their tradition, it will be at least 10 years from now before the government will tell anyone how to enhance UCP3 driven fat burning with a vitamin, even though doing so would drastically reduce the risk for diabetes and heart disease.
Politically, drug companies are terrified of natural solutions for health. |

 Taking vitamins? Does she exercise regularly? Those questions focus on what they believe is the mother's principal role, the provision of nutrients to be used by the genetically programmed fetus.
But the developing child receives far more than nutrients from the mother's blood. Along with nutrients, the fetus absorbs excess glucose if the mother is diabetic, and excess Cortisol and other fight or flight hormones if the mother is chronically stressed. Research now offers insights into how the system works. |
| The bacteria in our stomach and intestinal tract help digest food and also enable the absorption of life-sustaining vitamins. This microbe-human cooperation is the reason that the rampant use of antibiotics is detrimental to our survival. Antibiotics are indiscriminate killers; they kill bacteria that are required for our survival as efficiently as they kill harmful bacteria.
Recent advances in genome science have revealed an additional mechanism of cooperation among species. Living organisms, it turns out, actually integrate their cellular communities by sharing their genes. |

 It has deliberately blocked any information about the essential role of vitamins and other micronutrients in maintaining health contained in every textbook of biology, biochemistry and natural science from entering medical school teaching and medical practice. Through their strategic influence, the pharmaceutical industry has established a global monopoly on medicine. As a direct result, generations of medical doctors have not received adequate training in nutritional and other natural therapies. |

| Great Book
There is a great book which talks at length about how politics, the press, and special interests are targeting your rights to vitamins, minerals, herbs, and true information about health. The book is entitled Ephedra Fact and Fiction, authored by Mike Fillon, and published by Woodland Publishing, (800) 777-2665.
Richard Kreider, Ph.D. from Baylor University says, "The book is fascinating, a classic example of how misinformation stemming from various special interest groups and broadcast by the media can cause a political and legal firestorm regarding a supplement. |
| Withholding life saving information about the health benefits of vitamins and natural therapies. A precondition for this "business with disease" based on patentable synthetic drugs is the suppression of effective and safe, but non-patentable and therefore less profitable, natural therapies. For decades the pharmaceutical industry has strategically expanded its influence on medical education with devastating results. |

 Plus, apples contain various phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. They're even a decent source of folic acid.
How to further suppress your appetite:
One more supplementary strategy to all of this is that you can multiply the appetite suppressing effects of all foods by swallowing a couple of fiber tablets before you begin eating. Fiber tablets or capsules would include psyllium husk, glucomannan, oat bran fiber, apple pectin fiber, or other natural fibers. You can find fiber supplements at any health food store. |

| It is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, water, vitamins, minerals, and numerous co-factor substances that facilitate healthy function and structure. These substances work together in an effort to maintain natural balance. The human body performs millions of self-regulatory steps every minute in an attempt to deal with stress and maintain natural balance.
Drugs are powerful, forcing self-regulation to take a back seat and thereby forcing natural balance to take a back seat. It is impossible to predict all consequences of any drug taken for a long period of time. |

 The books often combine advice for using approved medications in combination with special diets, vitamins, exercise regimens, and nontradi-tional practices like yoga and meditation. Such was the approach of Dr. Bob Arnot's Breast Cancer Prevention Diet, which argued for the use of flaxseed oil in tandem with traditional medicine, and Drs. William Shankle and Daniel Amen's Preventing Alzheimer's, which combines traditional pharma meds with such things as "mental exercise," omega-3 fatty acids, red rice yeast extract, and coenzyme Q, to delay or prevent the diseases. |

| The new Daily Values for vitamins and minerals, formerly referred to as Minimum Daily Requirements, evolved based on the discovery of essential nutrients that when lacking caused nutritional deficiency diseases. A lack of Vitamin C causes scurvy, a lack of Vitamin D causes rickets, a lack of B12 or iron causes anemia, and so on. These stone-age concepts of nutrient needs serve a purpose, but they are woefully lacking when it comes to the general health needs of individuals. |
| The surprising aspect of this article is that this is mainstream medicine telling the world that even basic vitamins and antioxidants can prevent serious disease.
Leptin-resistance issues are clear; one either has them or they do not. If someone has leptin resistance-issues, they age faster, and their health deteriorates quicker than necessary. Something can be done and should be done while there is time. These are factors that help define minimum daily nutritional needs for any individual. |
| These are a tremendous advantage for anyone with fibromyalgia, as they require no energy to make them active in the body as do regular B vitamins. This formulation is also high in malic acid, an important cofactor for energy production in cells and the clearance of lactic acid. It contains no citric acid, which may induce immediate fatigue and headache in fibromyalgia patients.
In addition to the basic multiple vitamin, we use a unique form of calcium called calcium AEP. Calcium is important for nerve function; however, calcium AEP is special. |

 Doctors, drugs, herbs, vitamins, or other supplements do not heal the body. The body heals itself. The foods you eat either help or hinder this healing process. A longstanding poor diet over a number of years, which has become the norm in our modern Western world, is the root cause of the overwhelming majority of symptoms and dzs-eases people experience. |
| Most Americans have a deficiency of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes because they do not eat a large enough variety and quantity of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. Enzymes are not only contained in fresh, living (raw) foods, but also produced in the body. The combination of the two sources of enzymes work together for proper digestion, assimilation, and elimination of the foods you eat. Unfortunately, most Americans eat very little fresh, living food. |
| The concept of malnutrition encompasses not only those who are underweight, underied and undernourished, but also includes those who are overfed and overweight, yet lacking in proper vitamins and nutrients. The latter group is the biggest challenge the United States is facing today, to the degree that the numbers of overfed and malnourished have now reached epidemic proportions in this country. Not only that, but we are spreading this phenomenon throughout the world.

| Foods, in a way, are matched to our body organs in that each food is usually highest in one or two minerals and vitamins... Each color has its own activity in the body, because each color carries a chemical element particular to that color.
All red foods are stimulating foods. All yellow are of a laxative nature in the natural food routine. All green foods repair, rebuild and are high in iron and potassium... This is one of the greatest laws to follow.

 This leads to the recommendation of a diet high in fruits and vegetables, in other words, plant food with a large proportion of antioxidant vitamins, flavonoids, and polyphenols. As an example, the observation that in the Mediterranean area there is a lower incidence of CHD and certain types of cancers indicates that the Mediterranean diet, rich in grains, legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables, wine in moderate amounts, and olive oil, has beneficial effects on human health, notwithstanding the presence of traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease (e.g. |

| Thus, one strategy for weight loss is to ensure there are enough B vitamins and magnesium for energy production. These could be taken at meals or before exercise. Specifically to enhance the fat burning during exercise, an individual could take 100-200 mg of coenzyme Q10 and a multiple antioxidant just before doing the exercise. This increases the likelihood that the UCP3 system will work better to burn off fat more efficiently.
An athlete could use these strategies to enhance performance. An average fit person could use these strategies to enhance weight loss. |

 When You Run Short of Coenzyme Q10
We don't have the kind of deficiency information for CoQ10 that we have for vitamins and minerals. Thus, we can't say that when you run a little short of CoQ10 you'll have certain symptoms, and when you run significantly short you'll develop a particular deficiency disease.
We can, however, look at studies of people who were given supplemental CoQ10. The most definitive studies have been done with people suffering from heart disease, and many of these have shown that this substance is very much linked to heart health. |
