 Although the effect of vitamin supplementation was no better than placebo in treating alcohol-associated depression, the vitamins did result in a significant drop in anxiety within three weeks of use. Because of possible side effects, anyone taking such high amounts of niacin and vitamin Bg must do so only under the care of a doctor.
Although the incidence of B-complex deficiencies is known to be high in alcoholics, the incidence of other vitamin deficiencies remains less clear. |

Homemade soy milk would appear to be fresher, cleaner and safer than readymade packaged brews. But it's "buyer beware" when it comes to some of the speedy new machines on the market. |
| The spray inlet temperature is a very hot 482 degrees F, which kills all the enzymes and probably a lot of the vitamins as well. Today, freeze drying is preferred. Regular miso is spread one inch thick on steel trays, slid into a large vacuum chamber and quick frozen at a very low temperature of about minus 22 degrees F. It is then dried at about 104 degrees F for 10 to 15 hours. Although this method better preserves flavor and aroma, nearly all dried misos contain MSG, sodium succinate, inosinic acid and various other flavorings, colorings and additives. |
| FORTIFICATION
Most soymilks are also fortified with calcium, vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals inadequately represented in soybeans, and stabilized with emulsifiers. This has been true at least since 1931 when a Seventh Day Adventist company fortified soy milk with calcium.26
I have experienced first-hand problems with soy milk. For many years I was one of the strong supporters of drinking soy milk. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with an en-dometrioma (a form of cyst) of the right ovary. |

 This lesson is about minerals, because it has been my experience, in studying nutrition, that minerals are far more important than vitamins.
Colloids are the mineral building blocks of the body. A colloid is a mineral suspended in solution with energy, They are extremely small and resist the pull of gravity. They conduct electricity throughout the body.

| Glossy magazines like Vegetarian Times, Health and Self transferred the pro-soy message from health food stores infused with the odor of vitamins to upscale markets, and a raft of books by health professionals encouraged avoidance of meat and dairy as the answer to the rising rates of disease caused by imitation foods. |
| SOY MAY BE IN YOUR PILLS. vitamins, over-the-counter drugs and prescriptions may contain an unwanted dose of soy. Beware of pills with soy oil bases, vitamin E derived from soy oil, and soy components such as isoflavones The inhaler Atrovent is just one of many drug-store products containing unexpected soy. A new type of aspirin called "aspirin cocholeates" made with "all natural" soy-derived phospholipids will soon be on drugstore shelves.

 As far as vitamins and minerals go, the two best defenders against viral infections are vitamin C and zinc. In the world of herbs, echinacea and astragalus have earned a strong reputation as virus fighters. A wide assortment of foods also help boost immune system function: foods like garlic, ginger and onions. In fact, surviving the next pandemic need not depend on vaccines at all. Healthy individuals can survive the pendemic merely by dramatically boosting immune system function and supplementing with anti-viral herbs as well as powerful antioxidants like astaxanthin. |

 Vitamins, minerals [1, 13] and low levels of volatile substances [5] also occur.
Indications: On the basis of its caffeine content, mate is used as a CNS stimulant for mental and physical fatigue, and also as a diuretic. Because mate tea enjoys such great popularity as a "national drink" throughout much of South America, primarily in Brazil [1, 4], numerous other popular uses have been ascribed to it. |

 There are only so many medicines, vitamins, supplemerits, or other medical interventions our bodies can handle. And there are limits to what we are willing and able to spend. These realities point to the necessity of practicing certain economies when it comes to drugs. The pharmaceutical industry incurs "opportunity costs" when it sinks money into a particular R&D project, making the funds unavailable for investment elsewhere. But consumers incur such costs, too. When we decide which drugs to buy and use, we're implicitly choosing to forgo other medicines or health initiatives. |

 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. |
| Getting individualized treatment from a licensed healthcare practitioner, which could include essential oils, herbs, homeopathic remedies, chiropractic care, vitamins, minerals, etc., can cure all disease. Getting energetic rebalancing and doing nothing else can virtually cure every disease. Doing a colon cleanse, a liver/gallbladder cleanse, a kidney cleanse, a heavy metal cleanse, a parasite cleanse, a Candida cleanse, and a full-body cleanse can, in thirty to sixty days, virtually cure any "incurable" disease. |

 These sort of studies on isolated synthethic vitamins aren't honest science. In fact, they're distortions that seem to be designed to discredit all nutritional supplements. True health comes from eating whole foods, superfoods and foods with high nutrient density, including foods with plenty of vitamin E. It also comes from taking nutritional supplements in their natural food forms, not as synthetic chemicals. |

 I'm outraged by the behavior of the FDA and its campaign to discredit herbs and vitamins while ignoring far more dangerous prescription drugs. I'm outraged by the drug company executives who earn millions of dollars each year peddling dangerous drugs to elderly people who have to choose between food and medicine because they can't afford the sky-high prices of prescription drugs. I'm outraged by the FDA's efforts to monopolize the U.S. drug market, ban drug imports from Canada, and force senior citizens to pay ridiculous prices for deadly drugs. |

 It contains fiber, vitamins and minerals, and lots of carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are the fuel. But the carbohydrates are bound up in the fiber of the apple so that it takes your body a fair amount of time and effort to release those carbohydrates and convert them into fuel. So you could call the apple a medium-burning carbohydrate, or in medical terms, it has a lower glycemic index than straight sugar. |

 Using this online reference site, you can find out which nutrients help certain health conditions, or even which foods contain specific nutrients.
SupplementReference.com is the smallest of these sites, listing dietary supplements like psyllium, glucosamine and others that don't quite qualify as individual nutrients. Currently, this site is sparse, but we are working on adding new supplements as quickly as we can. In time, we plan to list actual recommended products in this database as well.
All of these reference sites are hyperlinked to each other where appropriate. |

General Recommendations
Ginkgo biloba has a well-deserved reputation as a free-radical scavenger. It also offers general support and protection to the eyes. Choose an extract standardized to 24 percent flavone glycosides, and take 120 mg twice a day.
Alpha lipoic acid is an important antioxidant. Take 100 mg twice daily.
N-acetylcysteine increases glutathione levels, an important antioxidant for the eyes. Take 500 mg twice daily.
Bioflavonoid complex provides additional protection for the lens. |

 Ivker recommended a number of nutritional supplements, including vitamins E and C, beta-carotene, selenium, zinc, and an overall multivitamin, as well as a herbal echinacea and goldenseal combination. He also treated Georgia for Candida infection and recommended that she purchase a negative-ion generator to improve the air quality in her home. These changes were combined with a tapering off of some of her medications and the beginning of a gradual exercise program, with walking and riding a stationary bicycle. |

 When we start to feel congested from too much food, people, or activities, we will feel better if we can exercise, sauna or steam, drink loads of fluids, eat lightly, take vitamins C and A, and get a good night's sleep. If you feel like your colon requires further cleansing, take stimulating, laxative-type herbs.
Our bodies have natural cleansing cycles when they want a lighter diet, more liquids, and greater elimination than intake. |
| We take in excessive amounts of potentially toxic nutrients, such as fats, sugars, and chemicals, and inadequate amounts of many essential vitamins and minerals. The resulting congestive diseases are characterized by excess mucus and sluggish elimination; deficiency problems result from either poor nourishment or ineffective digestion/assimilation. Juice fasting supplies nutrients while still allowing for the elimination of toxins. |
| They provide all the needed vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to sustain life while helping many people lower their weight, blood fats, blood pressure, and blood sugars. However, as with any weight-loss program, success depends upon participant motivation to change personal diets and habits permanently, as fluctuating weights may actually be more harmful than just remaining overweight. Many obese people are also deficient in nutrients because they eat a highly refined, fatty, sweet diet. They are often fatigued and need to be nourished first before they will do well on any fast. |
| Fruits and vegetables contain easily absorbed vitamins and minerals, calories for immediate energy production, and vital phytonutrients. These naturally occurring plant nutrients protect us from disease, help heal imbalances, and accelerate the healing process.
To make fresh juices, which are superior to bottled juices, you will need a juicer. The centrifugal force juicers are easy to clean and extract juice well from the pulp of the plants. If you have an orange juice squeezer, you can make fresh citrus juice. |
| Some of the vitamins and phytonutrients can oxidize and be lost over time, ranging from minutes to days.
To vary and simplify the juice cleanse or if you are wishing to do it longer, some other detoxifying foods can be eaten if just drinking liquids is too challenging or you are needing to add more fruit and calories. Vegetable soups can be consumed, as can eating fresh fruits and vegetables such as celery, carrots, jicama, apples, pears, oranges, and so forth. See Chapter 13 for recipes and Chapter 3 for more juice ideas. Use in-season and organic fruits and vegetables as much as possible. |
| These vitamins are water soluble and basically nontoxic. However, if your child has a special problem or is below the age of six, you should check with your pediatrician or health-care provider for specific recommendations.
The use of sugar in our culture resembles use of a drug and can be treated as such. Make a clear plan for withdrawal while working emotionally to eliminate the habit. Responses to flavors, certain food compulsions, and the feelings we get from them are usually conditioned. Self-reflection can be valuable. |

| They may have to face the objections of their physicians who sometimes advise the parents not to give vitamins to their children, or the objections of separated spouses, or those of well-meaning relatives who have their own views of what is wrong. Too often children doing well have had to go to hospital for other reasons and they were promptly taken away from their program. They have often relapsed in a few days and the parents and child must start all over again. For many children, each relapse makes it harder for them to respond as quickly. |

 There simply isn't enough nutrition available in the everyday foods consumed by people to provide sufficient quantities of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and other nutrients needed by the human body. That's why the healthiest people in the world are precisely those who take nutritional supplements on a regular basis.
I am one of those people. |

| It is essential to remember that nutrients—chiefly vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats—are the building blocks of your entire body. They form not just your skeleton, skin, and organs, but are also the basis of your hormones and the thousands of biochemicals involved in forming new cells and tissue, healing injuries, and creating energy. Chronically low levels of nutrients or imbalances among nutrients can inhibit essential biochemical reactions and plant the seeds for degenerative diseases later in life. |

 Although the vitamins and minerals in these foods are a factor, nonnutritive constituents are believed to also play a significant anti-carcinogenic role.
Two mechanisms have been suggested by which such dietary components may inhibit carcinogenesis: by blocking the action of carcinogens or tumor promoters and by suppressing the evolution of initiated cells.98 Blocking agents act by at least four mechanisms:
1. Inhibit the metabolism of noncarcinogenic compounds into carcinogenic compounds
2. Induce enzyme systems that detoxify carcinogens
3. Scavenge free radicals
