See book keywords and concepts |  Wheat germ, the heart of the wheat kernel, is packed with protein, fiber, polyunsaturated fat, vitamins, and minerals. It's the most nutritionally dense part of the wheat kernel, which also includes the endosperm and bran, or outer husk.
Second only to rice as a food staple, wheat was cultivated thousands of years ago by the ancient Chinese, Egyptians, and Greeks. Today, the world grows more wheat than any other cereal crop.
Chances are you get plenty of wheat in your diet since most breads are made with that grain. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The Tachyonization process restructures the particular herbs, algaes, minerals, and vitamins at the submolecular level. Once a material is Tachyonized in a fourteen-day process, every molecule draws a rich flow of the Tachyon energy to it. When these Tachyonized nutrients are ingested, they move to their specific target organs and glands and are absorbed at the molecular level. These specific targets both receive the Tachyon energy the nutrients are carrying and become transformed into Tachyon antennas. |
Henry Pasternak, D.V.M., C.V.A.
See book keywords and concepts |  Vitamin-rich whole foods are still the only source of virtually all the vitamins. Some of the best sources include seeds, nuts, whole grains, eggs, vegetables, yeasts and yeast extracts, liver and other organ meats, and fruits. In humans, clinical vitamin deficiencies are rare in industrialized countries such as the United States. However, subclinical nutrient deficiencies are rampant and put a burden on our healthcare system. |
Neal Barnard, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Supplements, then, should be reserved for those few situations in which we miss the normal sources of vitamins. For example, those who spend all day in an office or a factory rarely have sunlight touching their skin, which is how vitamin D is normally made. They need a dietary source of vitamin D. Likewise, healthful sources of vitamin B12 are uncommon and supplements, as described on pages 231 to 232, are helpful. Also, some doctors now use vitamin and mineral supplements in the treatment of many illnesses. Aside from these uses, I do not normally recommend supplements. |
Robert W. Hill, Ph.D. and Eduardo Castro, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Free radicals cause damage to the cell until they are neutralized by antioxidants, such as glutathione or vitamins E or C. The protective outer layer of each cell, the cell membrane, is particularly susceptible to free radical damage. Such damage to the membrane allows substances to enter the cell that should remain on the outside of the cell, and also causes the loss of substances that should remain inside the cell. A cell damaged in this manner has difficulty performing its necessary functions of energy production, replication, and detoxification. | | The beneficial foods we are referring to include macronutri-ents, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, and fiber, and micronutrients, including vitamins, trace minerals, and enzymes. The following are considerations for any parent of an ADD or ADD-like child.
Carbohydrates: Otherwise known as starches, carbohydrates include all fruits, vegetables, and grains. All carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars in the digestive tract to provide glucose, the essential fuel for each cell. | | Nutrition includes everything we eat and drink—protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and everything that goes along for the ride, such as sweeteners, preservatives, fillers, colors, flavors, and binders. The goal of good nutrition is to take in substances that promote good health and avoid taking in harmful substances. The results of good nutrition are often profound.
Without good nutrition, the behavior of any child with ADD may well worsen, and the child who does not have ADD may act as though he does, as the case of Michael shows. | | Supplement with vitamins and minerals, and consider additional antioxidants like Ginkgo biloba.
• Avoid monosodium glutamate (MSG), also labeled as hydrolyzed soy, vegetable, or plant protein, autolyzed yeast, textured protein, sodium or calcium caseinate, soy or whey isolate.
• Avoid synthetic additives such as colors, flavors, enhancers, stabilizers, and binders.
• Avoid products containing caffeine. |

(PMG), honey, liver, choline, CoQ10, calcium, high selenium-containing yeast, ovine spleen, all of the known and unknown B-complex vitamins including the most important heart vitamin known as B4, nutritional yeast, vitamin E, wheat germ, vitamin C, and oat flour.
Vitamin B.
4
Most of us have never heard about this little known vitamin B4, also known as the antiparalysis factor. | | In fact, the body is no more adapted to synthetic vitamins than it is to any other drug (antibiotics, tranquilizers, etc.) The liver has an impressive restorative capability, and is the only organ that will regenerate itself when part of it is damaged. This regeneration capacity is one of the intriguing survival mechanisms of the body.
Our health to a large extent depends on a well-functioning liver. |
Carol Simontacchi
See book keywords and concepts |  When a mother consumes a diet that undersupplies fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water for both her and the baby, some part of the baby's brain development will be curtailed. Some structure will go unbuilt; some function will not be performed.
While the body may have a system of prioritizing its needs and making maximum use of limited resources, this sensitive period of brain development is the time when every nutrient should be present at the correct moment for optimal growth to occur. |
Henry Pasternak, D.V.M., C.V.A.
See book keywords and concepts | | One cannot substitute synthetic vitamins and "dead" processed food for raw, "live" natural foods. If one must feed dead processed foods due to convenience and time constraints, then one should supplement the diet with real "live" foods or food concentrates. (We will see in chapter 5, the diet section of this book, how easy this is to do.)
When foods are processed, their nutrients are destroyed and they become unwholesome. This is done to prolong shelf life. |
Dr. Michael Heinrich, Joanne Barnes, Simon Gibbons and Elizabeth M. Williamson
See book keywords and concepts |  However, in some patients, wheat bran (the husk from the grains of Triticum aestivum) is more effective than other swelling agents, and preparations containing it are available for prescribing. These are taken in water.
OSMOTIC LAXATIVES
Another useful approach to constipation is the use of osmotic laxatives such as lactulose or lactose, two dimeric sugars derived from milk. Lactose is split in the Gl tract into glucose and galactose. Adults generally do not resorb galactose well. Consequently, the bacteria of the colon metabolize this sugar. |
Henry Pasternak, D.V.M., C.V.A.
See book keywords and concepts | | As stated before, vitamins are too complex to be synthesized in a test tube. It took nature hundreds of millions of years to perfect these nutrients and for animals to adapt to them. A vitamin consists of not only the organic nutrients identified as the vitamin, but also enzymes, coenzymes, antioxidants, and trace element activation. Since enzymes are proteins, they must contain amino acids and trace elements. Dr. Royal Lee, a pioneer in nutrition research, says, "In fact, every mineral needed by the living cell is commonly found in a natural assemblage of vitamin concentrates. |
Dorothea Hover-Kramer, EdD, RN
See book keywords and concepts |  Ask about cunent medications, including recreational drugs, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, vitamins, and herbs, as their ingestion may significantly impact the energy field.
It is helpful to determine which layer of the field is most important to the client's self-perception so that your treatment plan can directiy address the needs of the client. The client's most perceived concerns may be in the physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual dimension or in combinations of several dimensions. |
The Editors of PREVENTION
See book keywords and concepts |  Research suggests that it may elevate levels of special vitamins, called antioxidants, in your bloodstream, and antioxidants can help prevent some of the changes that give plaque a toehold in your arteries. On top of all this, exercise is a powerful balm for stress. It may even condition your body to produce smaller quantities of stress hormones in high-stress situations, says James Blumenthal, Ph.D., professor of medical psychology at Duke University and founder of Behavioral Fitness in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The seed and seed oil contain various steroids as well as vitamins A and D, which might account for treatment of skin disorders, bruises, and inflammations. The seed oil is absorbed quickly through the skin. The seed shows antibiotic activity (Lozoya and Lozoya 1982:26) and is used to poison rats and mice (Morton 1981:236). How a liniment made of avocado, marijuana, and alcohol can treat rheumatic joints is not readily explainable.

Phaseolus heterophyllus (Humb. & Bonpl.) Willd. | | Onion contains various sulphides—especially allyl propyl disulphide—flavones, enzymes, and vitamins A, Bi, B2, C, and D (Lewis and Elvin-Lewis 1977; Schauenberg and Paris 1977; Font Quer 1979). The essential oil of onion causes tears. Eating large amounts of onions over time will cause anemia, jaundice, and digestive disturbances (Fuller and McClintock 1986:266).

3. The essential oil of onion causes tears; onions can cause anemia, jaundice, and digestive disturbances. treat high blood pressure by eating the clove, followed by a glass of milk, twice daily in addition to taking lemon four to five times daily. They recommend eating garlic for diabetes. They also apply mashed garlic to an insect bite to relieve pain. They grow garlic as an herbicide with roses. Onion, with fewer uses, was formerly fried and applied to the chest for cough and fever.

See book keywords and concepts |  People with Crohn's disease and celiac disease, conditions that interfere with the absorption of vitamins from the intestinal tract, are at increased risk as well. In addition to the classic symptoms of anemia outlined above, symptoms of B12-deficiency anemia can include yellowish skin and, in some cases, abdominal pain, weight loss, tingling in the arms and legs, and neurological impairment resulting in disorientation and depression. Pernicious anemia is a related condition that mainly affects older adults. |
Henry Pasternak, D.V.M., C.V.A.
See book keywords and concepts | | All of the B vitamins and their coworkers are functionally inseparable, so this whole complex would assist in asthma, particularly in relation to the autonomic nervous system.
Supporting the health and repair (including inflammation) of the mucous membrane lining and other tissues of the respiratory tract as well as supporting the adrenal glands, thymus gland, lymphatic system, and other participating aspects of the immune response would only be prudent. Glandular supplements could be used, including lung, adrenal, and thymus substances. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts |  One study found green tea chemicals even stronger in antioxidant effect than vitamins E and C, well known for their potent antioxidant powers.
Thumbs Down: NEW SALT DANGER
Beware salt. Even if it does not raise your blood pressure, it may nevertheless be detrimental to brain tissue, helping induce mini-strokes, says Dr. Tobian. He came to this conclusion after tests in which he fed rats either a high-salt or a low-salt diet. The high-salt diet induced deadly strokes in the animals even though it did not raise their blood pressure. |
Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  My program includes nutritional therapy; supplementation with specific vitamins, minerals, and trace elements; administration of natural medicinal tonics; cardiovascular exercise; mental exercise; yogic mind/body exercises; stress management; and administration of certain pharmaceutical medications.
Each element of the program works synergistically with the other elements; no single aspect of the program would be completely effective if used alone.
As you might imagine, this concerted program has a therapeutic effect on more than just memory and concentration. |

See book keywords and concepts | | You'll learn about the basic nutrients — vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and water, as well as phytonutrients and fiber.
You'll also find more than 50 chapters on individual healing foods, which will help add variety to your meals. The other chapters help you understand how specific conditions can be prevented or treated with certain foods.
'Eyeball' a nutritious piate
You may have learned to ignore wild claims about fad diets, but sometimes its hard to understand advice from reliable sources. The U.S. | | Be sure your diet provides enough vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to replace those you use up each day.
ž Balance. Don't fill up on foods that are rich in some nutrients and ignore others that are equally important. Extra iron, for example, won't make up for too little calcium.
ž Calorie control. Take in no more calories than you use. Those you don't burn get stored as fat, which can lead to obesity and other health problems.
ž Moderation. Limit certain foods — like those containing fat, cholesterol, and sugar. | | This trio of B vitamins is important not just to your eyes, but also to every cell in your body. You can also get all three by spreading tuna on a whole-wheat bagel and washing it down with a glass of milk. Round your day off with a baked potato for niacin and thiamin and a helping of mushrooms full of niacin and riboflavin.
Protein. You probably get plenty of protein from the meat, fish, and dairy foods in your diet. But a protein deficiency could mean a greater risk of developing nuclear cataracts. If you are a vegetarian, pay careful attention to your proteins. | | Instead, it's loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
With all its nutrients, the colorful tuber is more than just a tasty side dish. A sweet potato has what it takes to brighten your mood, prevent cancer, heal heart disease, and clear up eye ailments.

Packs a triple punch against cancer. Three of the toughest cancer fighters in the nutrient world — folate, vitamin C, and beta carotene (which turns into vitamin A) — are packed into a sweet potato. | | The apricot is a fantastic fruit — loaded with beta carotene, iron, fiber, vitamin C, and several B vitamins. If you dry an apricot, its nutrients get more concentrated, making dried apricots a great snack.
Whether fresh or dried, eating apricots will help you fight the effects of aging, protect your eyesight, ward off cancer, and prevent heart disease.

Combats cancer. If you get indigestion from eating tomato products — the prime source of lycopene — here's great news for you. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts | | Foods contain vitamins, minerals and other more exotic compounds that new research shows can broadly stimulate immune functioning, increasing your resistance to various viral and bacterial infections, as well as cancerous growths that flourish or die according to the operation of immune mechanisms.
HOW FOOD CAN INFLUENCE IMMUNITY
What you eat can strongly influence the performance of white blood cells, the frontline warriors against infection and cancer. |
Carol Simontacchi
See book keywords and concepts | | One of the vitamins in the B complex, choline, has been shown to improve learning and memory in experimental animals and humans.
None of these agents is a substitute for good nutrition, however. Don't be tempted to think that taking a pill is a shortcut to good mental health. As a clinical nutritionist, I often recommend using herbs or nutrients to help relieve symptoms more rapidly while we are altering nutritional biochemistry through the diet. |
