| Exposures to oxygen and to rays of the sun are among the conditions that can produce free radicals, and vitamins C and E are being promoted in sunscreens.
The Wrinkling Sun
Sunscreens and sunblockers can arguably be classified as "antiaging" cosmetics. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that the sun can damage the skin, causing premature wrinkling and actinic (solar) keratoses. |

Employed in the manufacture of polyvinylpyrrolidone (see), which goes into hairsprays. Also a high boiling solvent in petroleum processing, and a plasticizer and coalescing ingredient for floor polishes. On the basis of the animal and clinical data, the CIR Expert Panel (see) concludes that it is safe as used in cosmetic formulations but should not be used in products containing nitrosating (see) agents. |

 Without proper xeronine levels, vitamins do not work and serious illness may result, including cancer, premature aging, viral illness, and immune system malfunction. When a protein or enzyme fails to function properly due to low xeronine levels, every cell, tissue, and organ needing that protein or enzyme may fail (heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes). Restoring correct xeronine levels may alleviate those diseases.
Dr. Heineke states that xeronine is by far the best treatment for reversing hard -core drug addiction. |
| Magnesium helps utilization of B complex vitamins, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. It aids in bone growth and is necessary for proper function of muscles.
Many foods contain magnesium, which is found primarily in green vegetables but is also present in wheat germ, soybeans, milk, whole grains, seafood, figs, corn, apples and oil rich seeds and nuts. All this makes it hard to understand why most people are deficient of magnesium. |

Notes: The nomenclature associated with capsicum is somewhat confusing. Capsicum is generally defined as the dried, ripe fruit of Capsicum annuum L. and a large number of varieties and hybrids of this.14 In contrast, 'capsaicin' is a compound purified from these species — Chemical
Abstracts (CAS) registry #404-86-4, under the name: N-[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-methyl]-8-methyl-(E)-6-nonenamide. There are two possible stereoisomers of capsaicin, but only the trans isomer exists in nature. The cis isomer, civamide, is assigned a separate CAS registry number. |

 Now we can talk about vitamins, minerals, phy-tonutrients, antioxidants, herbs, Ayurvedic or Chinese body-type diets, organics, and a host of other enhancing issues that do indeed build on the basics. Now we can deal with which foods, in the massive smorgasbord of foods that might fuel you, are optimal for your specific constitution and specific lifestyle, or which foods in that range of choices contain anti-aging or cancer-fighting phytonutrients.

 In addition to having special anticancer compounds called indoles and iso-thiocyanates, cruciferous vegetables are also high in vitamins A, C, and E; some contain anticancer minerals, and most are high in fiber. In experiments, indoles were added to the diets of mice before and during the administration of carcinogens (like those in cigarettes); the indoles stopped the growth of tumors developing in the stomach and lungs. |

Recently, citrus foods have been discovered also to contain a compound called limonene, which is not a nutrient like a vitamin or mineral and does not provide fuel. It does, however, appear to boost cancerfighting ability by increasing proliferation of certain enzymes and enhancing killer cell activity. Limonene may be medicinal. Dr. |
| Don't overcook vegetables, since phytochemicals may be destroyed in the process just as some vitamins and minerals are. Juicing is a good way to concentrate nutrients, so it's probably a good way to concentrate phytochemicals as well. Canned and frozen fruits and vegetables are probably better than none at all.

CLEANSING EXTREMES Fasting
I'm personally not enthused about total fasting. Modified fasts in which you can have juice or other thin liquids, providing at least some sustenance, make more sense to me. I think it is important to consider that in the case of fasting, there is a price paid for whatever cleansing is accomplished. |
| These vitamins help the normal conversion of homocysteine into amino acids the body can use, so that it does not rise to unhealthy levels.
A moderately elevated homocysteine level is now considered by many researchers to be an independent risk factor for heart disease. Research indicates that when the intake of folacin, B6, and B12 is low, heart attack risk increases.
This does not mean that smoking, obesity, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, high-fat diet, and so on are no longer risk factors. |

| Since many diseases are known to be the result of the wrong balance of essential nutrients in the body, adjusting the diet, eliminating junk foods, and ingesting large doses of essential vitamins, minerals, trace metals, amino acids, and polyunsaturated fats, can correct the chemical imbalances of disease. The term "megavitamin therapy" was first coined in 1952 by psychiatrists Humphrey Osmond and Abram Hoffer to describe the large dosages of niacin (vitamin B3) used in the treatment of schizophrenic, LSD, and amphetamine psychosis. |
| The combined deficiency of both vitamins B3 and C may synergistically raise copper levels.
The birth control pill raises copper
It is a well-established fact that ceruloplasmin, the copper-containing protein, is produced faster in the presence of the female hormone estrogen, and women taking contraceptive pills uniformly have raised copper levels. It is also interesting that any biological state that elevates the serum copper is apt to increase the need for vitamin C. |

 Lettuce lovers swear by the benefits of its vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, and turn to the vegetable for its tranquilizing effect. I believe romaine lettuce is superior to other types of lettuce. Specifically, the darker the leaf, the greater the nutritional value. That's why bitter greens such as arugula and spinach also make a powerful dietary impact, while milder forms of lettuce, such as butterhead or iceberg, are less nutritious. Romaine is also renowned for its aphrodisiacal effects. |

| Depending on the patient, Nieper's protocol included drugs as well as vitamins, minerals, plant and animal extracts, diet, and lifestyle changes.
Dr. Nieper's approach looks beyond outward signs of illness to correct imbalances in his patients' vital life force. I believe that since such imbalances are always the underlying cause of illness, correcting them should always be the first order of business for health care practitioners. When the life force is in balance, it can do its work in sustaining the body's inherent instinct for self-preservation. Healing comes from within. |

 The same uterine, breast, and bone cells that have receptors that accept estrogens also contain receptors for other hormones, such as progesterone and androgens, and receptors for some vitamins.
• The same hormone, at a different dose, can bind to different receptors. For example, if estradiol is around in high enough dosages, it can bind to progesterone receptors and androgen (male hormone) receptors as well as to estrogen receptors. A number of estrogenic chemicals have been shown to interact with androgen receptors.
• Estrogen can work differently in different parts of the body. |

Cataract is a loss of transparency of the crystalline lens of the eye. It, too, has several forms—one in which the lens is hardened and of a deep brown color, another in which it is green (glaucoma), other forms in which it is gray or milky, or affecting only part of the eye, perhaps with scarring or skin disease—in all, several dozen forms, which only a doctor can diagnose. |

 Fortunately, we possess several means of protecting our chromosomes from the resulting electron scramble—including the use of dietary vitamins to soak up free radicals as they are produced. Research by the molecular epidemiologist Donald Malins indicates that certain environmental contaminants generate free radicals when the body attempts to detoxify and metabolize them. Malins and his colleagues are currently attempting to determine whether specific patterns of free radical damage in the DNA of the human breast could provide a means of predicting breast cancer risk. |

These are not contradictory definitions. What we drink, inhale, and find to eat in the environment external to ourselves quickly becomes our internal environment.

The traditional answer is that they include both environment and lifestyle. |
