 They get their vitamins every day. They get Rejuvenate! -- which has the chlorella and the yeast in it . They get Living Fuel. Maybe we'll give them an RNA tablet. We have seen great changes in them, just as in ourselves. The older dog is 15 and probably would have been dead three years ago. The other is 12 and she runs around like a puppy. She has so much energy. The quality of their hair changes, their eyes change, and they smell better. Even the intelligence is manifested, just like with human beings. They have bright eyes and are alert.
They know what is going on. |

 For example, you could look here by symptom or disorder to find out what vitamins or minerals might help dry skin, bleeding gums, painful joints, or the risk for prostate cancer. And if there is more than one commonly used name for an ailment, I have listed each name and directed you to the "mother listing." For example, there may be listings for dry skin, dermatitis, seborrhea, and scaly skin and scalp, but a discussion found only under dermatitis, with the other listings cross-referenced as "see Dermatitis. |

 A sick body has exaggeratedly high needs for many vitamins. We can either meet that need, or else suffer unnecessarily.
"Until the medical professions fully embrace orthomolecular treatment, 'medicine' might well be said to be 'the experimental study of what happens when poisonous chemicals are placed into malnourished human bodies.'"
Biochemical Individuality
The optimum intake of a nutrient varies enormously from patient to patient, depending on age, gender, disease, and other variables. |

 This causes grains, fruits, and vegetables to lose most of their vitamins, minerals, and fiber, as well as other nutrients. Preservatives are then added in order to prevent germs from proliferating in the food while it sits in the jar or package on the supermarket shelf. That way, your food won't spoil or be covered with mold when you tear open the plastic packaging a week or a month or even a year down the road. |
| If you decide to take supplements and vitamins, choose them with special care, and go over all of them with a qualified nutritionist or with your doctor if he/she is knowledgeable about cutting-edge studies on food-as-medicine. A good specialist recognizes that so-called natural remedies are drugs. After all, aspirin was originally derived from willow bark, and the anticancer chemothera-peutic agent Taxol was derived from the bark of the Pacific yew tree. |

| Supplements and vitamins that are currently being studied in autoimmune disease research include:
ANTIOXIDANTS. In the normal process of metabolism, cells produce unstable oxygen molecules. These unstable molecules—known as free radicals—damage cells. Exposure to pollutants can increase free radicals, as can smoking and the use of cooking oils that become overheated. Antioxidants help to repair the damage done by free radicals. |

| Most of the vitamins and nutrients our bodies receive from the foods we eat have already been absorbed by the small intestines before reaching the colon. The colon's primary job is absorbing the left over water to condense soft byproducts into solid waste. The colon also takes in select water-tied nutrients such as electrolytes. The colon and small intestine can also absorb dangerous toxins and, unfortunately, these toxins are the root cause of most degenerative disease.
A healthy colon is essential for your overall wellbeing. |
| This is why it's so important to use only organic Apple Cider Vinegar—it's the only way to obtain all the life-promoting enzymes and vitamins needed for proper intestinal detoxification. ACV also inhibits the growth of harmful yeast, germs, fungi, and bacteria in the intestinal tract, thereby increasing the absorption and utilization of vital nutrients.
High quality sources of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar include: Solana Gold™ Virtues of Vinegar Organic ACV36, Bragg™ Organic ACV37, and Spectrum™ Organic ACV38.
Why is Aloe Vera Juice in the Intestinal Cleanser? |
| These particles add fiber to the ACV and ensure you receive the most beneficial components of the original apples—essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids. Nearly a hundred different health-promoting substances have been identified in organic Apple Cider Vinegar.
Caution: Most non-organic brands of ACV undergo pasteurization (boiled at high heat to remove bacteria), and filtration, leaving you with a form so refined that it's nutritionally worthless.
Bragg™ Organic ACV
ACV is arguably one of the best all-around detoxifiers for your body's intestinal tract and organs. |
| When the colon stops functioning properly, digestion becomes disrupted and the essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your body depends on to grow and thrive are no longer absorbed. An unhealthy colon is also less able to expel toxins.
What Causes the Colon to Malfunction in the First Place?
The foods we eat obviously have a lot to do with keeping our colons healthy, but if maintaining our colons is as easy as making a few small changes to our dietary habits, why does the incidence of disease continue to skyrocket even among people with otherwise healthy diets? |

 Beginning in the 1920s, vitamins enjoyed a vogue among the middle class, a group not notably afflicted by beriberi or scurvy. But the belief took hold that these magic molecules also promoted growth in children, long life in adults, and, in a phrase of the time, "positive health" in everyone. (And what would "negative health" be exactly? |

| By definition, all vitamins are essential to health. The most important one for any particular person is the one most lacking. The best test to determine this is clinical. If a person takes a vitamin and after a short time becomes healthier and feels better, then obviously that vitamin was needed. If there is no improvement, this may be because they are not short of that vitamin, because the dose taken was too small, or because there are additional nutrient deficiencies that have not yet been corrected. |

| I have it in my Pro-C, which is my super duper antioxidant formula that is like the Pet-C Plus for animals, where we put in green tea extract, grape seed extract, glutathione, n-acetyl-l-cysteine, lipoic acid, selenium, and vitamins B2 and B6 because those are in the pathways that make glutathione work.
These antioxidants operate in the redox cycles that the body uses and they all work together. They protect each other. One might free up another one to do the job that only it can do. Pro-C and Pet-C Plus are super duper products. |

| Pre-agricultural man ate a diet that contained vitamins and mineral levels that were several times higher than current RDA recommendations. The Paleolithic RDA ratio for vitamin C, for example, was approximately 6.7 higher. That is, the average Paleolithic diet probably provided almost seven times the current recommended daily allowance for ascorbic acid.
What then are the implications of underestimating human requirements for this vitamin? An epidemiological study, published in 2000 by the National Institutes of Health, showed that adults with blood plasma concentrations of more than 73. |

 Half of the prisoners got a placebo; the other half got a diet rich with vitamins and fish like salmon. For the inmates with the better diet, the assaults and other disciplinary violations went down by a third, over time. In a similar trial concerning people with a history of substance abuse, symptoms of "anger" on the part of the group with better diet were reduced by half.25
Exercise also is undeniably an effective treatment for depression, even for major depression. Many studies have shown this. |
| Allergy and asthma drugs are the most common, but psychiatric agents are so prevalent that "nurses who dispense them no longer try to avoid stigma by pretending they are vitamins." There's even a company, CampMeds, which prepackages an entire summer's worth of medications for campers in shrink-wrapped packets.88

 In terms of nutrient dependencies, though, I will demonstrate that many causes of anxiety are probably the result of nutrient dependencies to vitamins, specifically vitamin B-3 (niacin or niacinamide), B-12 (cobalamin), and other B vitamins, as well as inositol, specific amino acids, minerals (calcium and magnesium), or omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Chaste Tree (Vitex Agnus Castus). Chaste tree stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland and mildly inhibits FSH. The result is an indirect ability to raise or modulate progesterone levels. |
| Other studies show that adding antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, to the diet of animals significantly reduced the decline of regular ovulation related to aging.30 This may have importance for women in their 40s, who begin to experience reduced fertility due to diminished ovarian reserve.
Vitamin E

Selenium. The mineral selenium is another antioxidant that protects from free radical damage. Free radicals are created when normal biochemical reactions cause oxygen molecules to become unstable. |
| The results suggested that eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains or obtaining these vitamins through supplementation may be as important as quitting smoking, lowering cholesterol, or controlling high blood pressure in lowering heart disease risk. Folic acid and the lowering of homocysteine has recently been less impressive as a heart disease prevention strategy.

| Nettle is one of the best herbs to use in pregnancy due to its appreciable amounts of vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron. Used throughout the pregnancy, nettle can help to improve energy, strengthen the blood vessels, reduce varicose veins, alleviate leg cramps, prevent anemia, and decrease the likelihood of hemorrhage during childbirth. This is an herb that can be taken in all forms, including freshly picked young leaves and as a leafy green addition to steamed vegetables or salads.

| Some herbs are characterized as tonics, others are spices that improve taste and digestion, other herbs contain specific vitamins and minerals that aid different organ systems, and still others can be used as medicines to intervene and treat conditions or illnesses related to the pregnancy. However, there are some herbs that are commonly contraindicated for use during pregnancy. Although some of these herbs may be used in very small amounts for specific conditions, it is prudent to avoid them unless under the supervision of an expert in herbal medicine. |

| The practice of orthomolecular medicine thus recognizes that most acute and chronic diseases are due to a metabolic fault that is correctable in most patients by good nutrition, including the use of large doses of vitamins and mineral supplements. Unlike conventional medicine, orthomolecular medicine recognizes the principle of individuality, recommending the optimum diet of nutrients for each of us, in good health and in poor health. No two patients are the same; therefore, no two treatments are the same. |

 In addition, they've got magnesium, phosphorus, more than 200 mg of heart-friendly potassium, vitamin C, and a ton of vitamins A and K. There's also a meaningful amount of beta-carotene. And if all that weren't enough, they are a significant source of lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that are fast becoming the "go-to" nutrients for eye health.

 To compound matters, without B vitamins, your homocysteine levels rise, and that doubles the risk of developing Alzheimer's. Homocysteine is an amino acid associated with stroke, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. Although no study has demonstrated a benefit of supplementation to your thinking process, the products are generally safe, and anecdotal evidence is enticing. We recommend a supplement with 400 micrograms of folic acid, 800 micrograms of B,2, and 40 milligrams of B6 a day. |
| Research shows that a deficiency of folate, part of the B complex of vitamins, is linked to cancer. Folate supplementation decreases colon cancer rates by 20 percent to 50 percent, but more than 50 percent of Americans don't even get the recommended amount, and 90 percent don't get the amount that seems to reduce colon cancer (800 micrograms a day). Lots of foods-like spinach, tomatoes, and orange juice-contain folate, but it's absorbed less well than folic acid from supplements. |
| Smoking or high blood pressure cuts off blood vessels that feed the retina (the nerve tissue that converts signals to the brain) and carry vitamins and antioxidants to the back of the eye to repair damage caused by the Major Ager of UV radiation. While genetics do play a role—those with light-colored irises and high blood pressure and low HDL cholesterol are most at risk—lifestyle choices that keep your arteries young will reduce your chances of developing macular degeneration. |
