 All foods contain some nutrients in the way of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, or minerals—or all of these. Sucrose contains caloric energy—period.
The "quick" energy claim the sugar pushers talk about, which drives reluctant doughboys over the top and drives children up the wall, is based on the fact that refined sucrose is not digested in the mouth or the stomach but passes directly to the lower intestines and thence to the bloodstream. The extra speed with which sucrose enters the bloodstream does more harm than good. |

| Deficiencies of vitamins Bl5 B2, B6, B12, and vitamin C are frequently found in people with emotional disorders. The vitamin/mineral compound recommended in Blueprint for Health, page xvii, should be an important part of your daily routine.
Some people who have problems with constant mild depression can be suffering from low blood sugar or hypoglycemia and do not need medication. Their eating habits are irregular, resulting in rapid fluctuations of the blood sugar levels, which can cause mood swings including depression. |

 In most cases, you probably don't need to have bottle after bottle of individual vitamins or minerals if you are taking a multivitamin and eating right. Exceptions would be if you are under a doctor's treatment for a specific deficiency or if you are seeking antioxidant protection by taking extra vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene. Otherwise, avoid single supplements—especially vitamin A, vitamin D and iron, says Dr. Thomas. High doses can be toxic, producing nasty side effects such as vomiting, hair loss, bone abnormalities, anemia and renal, liver and cardiovascular damage. |

 Physicians could study the etheric bodies of patients to learn the energetic effects of vitamins and nutrition, of light and color, and many other vibrational modalities which would need such technologies for scientific verification of efficacy. Another application might lie in studying long term effects of conventional drug therapies on the etheric and physical bodies.
The potential for building an EMR Scanner exists today. But individuals with the knowledge to create an etheric-body energy scanner need to coordinate and unify their efforts. |
| Many vitamins (in appropriately high dosages) not only allow the physical body to function at an optimal level but may also strengthen the etheric body, making the physical and subtle energetic systems more resistant to stress and illness. Orthomolecular proponents have noted significant augmentation of the immune response by vitamin C, especially in treating certain viral illnesses such as infectious mononucleosis and viral pneumonias for which orthodox medicine has little to offer. |
| If I forgot to bring along my vitamins for the morning after being on call, I had pronounced feelings of fatigue and exhaustion at the end of the shift. I have been convinced of the efficacy of megadose vitamin therapy for preventing stress reactions by my own personal experience as well as through feedback from the many patients I have placed on similar regimens. |

| These internal factors are not merely physico-chemical factors (although vitamins and proper nutrition can obviously assist the body in resisting the influence of carcinogens) but also higher energetic factors involving the realms of spiritual consciousness.
At the spiritual levels of human consciousness, there exists a level of perfection and energetic balance which cannot be affected by distortions of mind and emotion. At these highest levels, the soul is working to positively influence the energies integrating with the physical form. |
| Of course, one can always pay out-of-pocket for vitamins, flower essences, and homeopathic remedies, but not everyone can afford the expense. Generally speaking, however, many subtle energy and natural healing remedies tend to be much less expensive than conventional drug treatments. Holistic and vibrational medicine is not something that should be strictly for the upper middle class. It is a type of healing system which should apply to everyone, should they be open and interested enough to try it. |

| Our body needs a constant supply of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in order to keep functioning. Our immune system, our blood supply, every cell in the body needs a constant supply of nutrition to do its job and keep us healthy.
Many people do not get the nutrition they need from the food they eat, usually because the food is not very nutritious to start with. But even if the food is the best there is, most people have trouble assimilating the nutrients locked in their food. They can't break it down and digest them. |

| The use of various prescription drugs also results in the depletion of particular vitamins.
As orthodox medicine has increased the sensitivity of specific tests, traditional physicians have slowly begun to acknowledge an even longer list of vitamin-like substances, including trace elements and minerals, that are necessary for the maintenance of health. But there are still many essential elements which need to be added to this list. |

 C, E, and beta-carotene with added zinc reduced the risk of developing advanced macular degeneration (damage to and deterioration of the retina, leading to vision loss and blindness) by 25 percent.
Supplemental folic acid and vitamin B6 have been repeatedly shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke, probably by virtue of their effects in lowering homocysteine. There are many more examples of research studies showing that supplemental nutrients can prevent, reverse, or slow many diseases. |

This Exam Could Save Your Life
We hate to bring it up, but have you felt your testicles lately? If you haven't, you could be missing a chance to detect one of the more treatable and curable cancers.
Although testicular cancer accounts for only 1 percent of cancers in all men, it is one of the most common cancers to occur in guys in their twenties and thirties. If it is detected early, however, it is nearly 100 percent curable, says Ernest Rosenbaum, M.D., an oncologist at the University of California, San Francisco/Mount Zion. |

| Eat foods that will satisfy your daily needs for protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Your appetite will then be satisfied to a greater degree by usable food elements, rather than by empty calories, such as those found in sugar."
They still can't seem to move beyond the old, discredited notion that sugar is merely harmless, empty or naked calories. Grains and cereals, we are told, do not contain cholesterol. What they do contain, they don't tell us. Don't load up on rich dairy products like butter, ice cream, and whole milk. |

 I also recommend vitamins, minerals, coenzyme Qi0, glutathione, phytonutrients, natural healing foods, and various forms of visualization and psychotherapy that I will discuss later.
For example, consider that L-arginine (an amino acid) stimulates the production of T cells that enhance the body's natural killing mechanisms.
This simple nutritional approach may be used as an additional therapy, especially in the treatment of breast cancer, along with traditional approaches. |

| A junk food diet high in sugar, fat and processed foods gives your body few or none of the basic vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs to perform at normal levels. And sometimes just the slightest deficiency of any one nutrient is all it takes to send energy levels plummeting.
The answer, says Dr. Peter Miller, is to find a balance in both the amount and the types of food that you eat. |
| Take vitamins E and C. These two antioxidants tend to be in short supply among people with diabetes—and Italian researchers have found that vitamin E helps improve the action of insulin. Good food sources include wheat germ, corn oil and nuts, but you should take a supplement containing 400 IU each day.
Meanwhile, because people with diabetes are prone to vascular disease, they may need to increase their intakes of vitamin C, suggests Ishwarial Jialal, M.D., assistant professor of internal medicine and clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. |

| What was meant by purity, besides the unarguable fact that all vitamins, minerals, salts, fibers, and proteins had been removed in the refining process? Well, the sugar pushers came up with a new slant on purity.
"You don't have to sort it like beans, wash it like rice. Every grain is like every other. No waste attends its use. No useless bones like in meat, no grounds like coffee."
Pure is a favorite adjective of the sugar pushers because it means one thing to the chemists and another thing to the ordinary mortals. |

 Also, cod-liver oil has high levels of vitamins A and D, which can be toxic in large amounts.
CAUTION Taking large doses of omega-3 supplements may cause excessive bruising and bleeding after minor trauma in some individuals. Anyone with a tendency to such bruising and bleeding is advised to avoid these supplements entirely. As with large doses of vitamin E, this could result in internal bleeding. Check with your doctor before starting on omega-3 or any other supplement regimen. |

 I found that there was a major campaign against every single aspect of alternative medicine ... an organized campaign to discredit alternative forms of healing as 'quackery.'

 A, C and E) and in 14.7% of those taking lactulose, compared with a recurrence rate of 35.9% in untreated controls. There were 209 subjects in the study.
Lactulose has also been shown to significantly stimulate calcium absorption in postmenopausal women, though the research has not yet been done to see whether it slows the rate of bone loss in aging subjects. There is, in addition, preliminary research suggesting that lactulose might improve glucose tolerance and have other effects on carbohydrate metabolism that could be of benefit in those with diabetes mellitus. |

 That is, cake and brown rice, both "carbohydrates," were considered virtually interchangeable from a nutritional standpoint. No significant difference was admitted between whole wheat and bleached white flour or between fresh and canned vegetables. As late as 1971, Leo Lutwak, M.D., a physician, professor of clinical nutrition, biochemist, and nutrition consultant to NASA, was publicly quoted as saying, "Nutritionally, it doesn't make any difference whether you eat white, brown, stone-ground, or any other kind of bread."5 Today, we know that such a position is erroneous. |

| This reduces the amount of nutrients available for hormone production. stress is a major contributor to hormonal imbalance. This includes any type of stimuli that requires the body to change and adapt, such as day-to-day hassles, psychological trauma, financial problems, and environmental pollution. Stress can cause hormones to decline, which creates an internal stress, and further diminishes hormonal production. This can interfere with immune function and result in allergies or autoimmune illnesses, such as thyroiditis or lupus. |
