— permits rapid assimilation of plant elements; this is one of the reasons alfalfa is used as a base in many combinations and in vitamin formulas.
— prevents tooth decay and helps rebuild decayed teeth, contains natural fluoride. | | It contains vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, all necessary amino acids and fatty acids.
— vitamins include A, B, including folic acid and niacin, C, E, and
K.
— minerals include potassium, calcium, phophorus, magnesium, zinc, silicon, iron, copper and trace minerals.
— regulates and stimulates the human system because it supplies any missing elements.
— used for convalescents because it helps increase weight and energy.
— no need to take large amounts of bee pollen. One teaspoon (or less) a day is usually sufficient.

There are two types of pollen. 1. | | Hydrolized protein or amino acids are commonly used.) This is essential since the blood stream will not accept a mineral until it has been chelated. If the mineral is not accepted by the body to activate vitamins, then both the vitamin and mineral will pass from the system with no benefit. The body must chelate minerals itself before they can be used.
The first thing the body must do to chelate a mineral is dissolve it. After the body dissolves the mineral, it uses protein to chelate the mineral. Then the body can accept the mineral. | | Spirulina-
Micro-algae, which is highly nutritious and an excellent source of protein, chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals and amino acids. It has 26 times the calcium of milk, contains phosphorus, B12, RNA and DNA, and easily digested. It is a safe food with no side effects. It would be good for survival purposes as it is easy to store. Has sometimes been called "Manna of the future. | | During the juice fast, the process of elimination of dead and dying cells is speeded up and the amino acids from these old diseased cells are set free to be used in an accelerated process of building new and healthy cells. Dr. Otto Buchinger, M.D., calls juice fasting "a burning of rubbish." After the first three days on a juice fast the body burns and decomposes the most "inferior" and "impure" materials. Also at this time the eliminating organs function at a higher capacity to expel accumulated wastes and toxins. | | Alfalfa contains 8 essential amino acids of good digestion and helps nausea during pregnancy. Also high in Vitamin, Mineral content.
4. Calcium Combinations—help with extra calcium demands.
5. Chlorophyll or Green drink—Helps to purify and clean blood, guards against anemia, very nutritious. (See Chlorophyll)
Case History:
0. was in her second month of pregnancy when she began hemorrhaging. She spent two weeks in the hospital flat on her back. The bleeding slowed down a little. They told her to go home and stay down. |

See book keywords and concepts | | One out of 20,000 babies is born without the ability to metabolize phenylalanine, one of the two amino acids that make up aspartame (and also found in many natural proteins). Toxic levels of this substance in their blood can result in mental retardation. As a result, the FDA requires all packaged goods that contain aspartame to bear a warning notice for the benefit of people with PKU. |
Gary Null
See book keywords and concepts |  The protein in sesame seeds effectively complements the protein of legumes, because both contain high amounts of each other's deficient amino acids. Therefore, an especially good addition to a soy milk shake is tahini, or sesame butter.
Used extensively as the whole seed in breads and other baked foods, in grain dishes, and on vegetables, the unhulled seeds can also be toasted and ground into sesame butter, which has a stronger taste and higher mineral content than sesame tahini. Tahini, made from toasted and hulled seeds, is a mild, sweet butter. | | On the average, about 90 to 93 percent of the amino acids in the foods you eat are absorbed after digestion commences.
Sprinkle brewer's yeast (if you are not allergic to it) on your cereal or blend it with milk, combine tofu with algae in salads, add wheat germ to lentil burgers, and spread peanut butter on whole wheat bread to increase the usability of the protein in these excellent sources.
Protein and Dieting_
It is estimated that nearly 80 million Americans in any given year are following some dietary program to lose weight. | | In addition to these vitamins, yeast flakes contain minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, and many of the amino acids, all of which work in conjunction with the B vitamins.
Many people take several tablespoons of yeast daily. If yeast is to be used in a beverage such as a vegetable juice, the flakes should first be mixed with a small amount of the liquid and stirred into a paste, then added to the rest of the liquid and thoroughly mixed again. A blender will simplify this method of preparation. |
James A. Howenstine, MD
See book keywords and concepts |  Among these 71 nutrients are chlorophyll, phytocyanin, amino acids, vitamins including B 12, minerals, SOD, bromelain, nucleic acids proteins, beta carotene, and gamma linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid. The dosages of these micronutrients are so tiny they are rapidly and easily absorbed. They then act as biologic response modifiers, which make it easier for the same nutrient to be absorbed in a larger dosage.
What Has SBO Done In Patients?

See book keywords and concepts | | It compasses a broad array of nutrients, including herbs, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and live cell glandulars. Today, I have a completely normal immune system.
Long-term survivors have another feature in common; they avoid AZT and other toxic antivirals. Rather than take toxic antivirals, more and more patients turn to unconventional therapies, such as those we have been describing.
While AIDS survivors generally do not follow mainstream treatments, they are not loners. |
Stanley W. Jacob, M.D., Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The cruciferous vegetables—such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower—also contain other sulfur compounds not related to amino acids that have been identified as important contributors to the body's natural detoxification processes.
Given the range of food choices, it appears understandable why a sulfur deficiency is assumed to be nonexistent. Beyond the assumption, however, there is little evidence. Medical science knows a good deal about deficiencies of many vitamins and minerals, but not about sulfur. |
Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  In particular, serotonin levels are affected by the vitamins, amino acids, and nutritional categories that form the core structure of food. Each food group is individually addressed in Chapters 11 through 21, so for now we'll look at this topic in general.
Vitamins
Vitamin B-6 (also known as pyridoxine) is necessary for serotonin production, as well as for metabolizing tryptophan.15 When we're deficient in vitamin B-6, our serotonin levels become low. | | The calming psychoactive amino acids increase the production of inhibitory neurotransmitters.
2. The texture of the food. Whether it is soft, crunchy, creamy, or chewy.
3. The inherent properties in the food: fat content, flavor, seasonings, and spices. The fat content and spiciness of a meal can alter our physical and emotional states. Some spices, such as cinnamon, sugar, or peppermint, are energy-altering on their own.
4. The smell. | | Every food contains minerals, amino acids, textures, smells, and other mood- and energy- influencing properties. Some are stimulants, some are depressants, and some activate the pleasure centers in our brains. In fact, many food's mood-altering or "psychoactive" properties are identical to those found in prescription medications for depression, anxiety, and asthma!
The mood you intuitively wish to experience determines which food you'll crave. For example, if you feel depressed or lethargic, you will crave foods that brighten your mood. | | We know, for example, that during the first trimester of pregnancy, the digestive tract transforms, and increased peptides (compounds containing amino acids) are secreted. These changes lead to "morning sickness," aversions to high-fat foods, and perhaps most importantly, fatigue.15
The sleepiness and low-energy levels during pregnancy are frustrating! Here you are, trying to rearrange your life to accommodate a brand-new baby. | | Vasoactive amino acids affect our energy levels by stimulating or relaxing our blood pressure or heart rate.
Some foods, like some beverages or drugs, are "stronger" than others. They contain more mood-altering or energy-altering properties than do other foods. Those foods will create more intense energy or mood shifts than milder foods.
Tyramine, for example, is a powerful stimulant found naturally in aged cheese, chocolate, pickled foods, soy sauce, vanilla, yogurt, and beer and wine. Tyramine is a strong vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure. | | Vasoactive—Any substance that changes the blood pressure or pulse rate. Many amino acids found in foods and beverages are vasoactive in one of two ways: they are vasoconstrictors, which narrow the blood vessels and increase blood pressure; and vasodilators, which open the blood vessels and decrease blood pressure.
Xanthine—Another term for methylxanthine, which is the family of stimulants found naturally in cocoa, tea, coffee, and cola nuts. Caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine are the three forms of methylxanthine found in dietary forms. |
Patricia Hausman & Judith Benn Hurley
See book keywords and concepts |  Other amino acids in tryptophan-containing foods also end up as competitors. It seems tryptophan prefers to play sleep fairy on its own.
These facts notwithstanding, however, it appears you'd have to eat a huge amount of foods containing tryptophan to get the sleep-inducing effects.
Advice about Caffeine and Calcium
Though it may be the most controversial, tryptophan is hardly the only approach to insomnia. The time-honored advice to avoid caffeine-rich foods-especially in the evening hours-remains solid. | | With too little on hand, the amino acids needed for rebuilding the tissue are produced in the "wrong order." As a result, the body tries to make healing happen without the right material to do so.
What's more, old wounds have been known to "fall apart" even when C deficiency develops long after healing has occurred. But don't despair! Diagnosing the problem and treating it with vitamin C can quickly bring things under control and allow for normal healing.
Surgical cuts are not the only kind of wounds that require vitamin C for healing. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts |  MIT tests also have measured fairly accurately how much protein food it takes to supply the amino acids needed to rev up the brain. For most people it is three to four ounces. Shellfish is one of the highest pure protein foods in existence.
PRACTICAL MATTERS
¦ Deep-frying shellfish can undo their benefits by adding sufficient fat to push up blood cholesterol. Best for the arteries are baked, broiled, steamed, and stewed shellfish. |
Christian Ratsch
See book keywords and concepts |  These compounds are made from plant stimulants (ephedrine, caffeine), vitamins, amino acids, and hormones (Pelton and Pelton 1989; Potter and Orfali 1993) and are reminiscent of traditional Chinese tonics (Teeguarden 1984). Many of them contain fo-ti-tieng (Centella asiatica [L.] Urban [syn. Hydrocotyle asiaticaL.]), a tonic and sometimes mildly psychoactive plant (Emboden 1985; Storl 1995). They often include an extract of Ginkgo biloba L. [syn. Salisburia adi-antifolia Sm.] (Gingkoaceae) as well; it is said to stimulate the brain and to strengthen memory422 (Schmid and Schmoll 1994). | | Also present are flavo-noids (Fleurentin and Pelt 1982, 96 f.*), amino acids, and alkaloids, including neurotoxins (Pilbeam et at. 1979, 1983, 1983; Wong 1976, 126*). The dried seedpods of various Crotalaria species can be used as rattles, hence the English name "rattle box." In Argentina, the pods of Crotalaria incana L. are used to magically heal deafness (Schmeda-Hirschmann et al. 1987).
One related species, Crotalaria juncea L., is known as Bengali hemp, East Indian hemp, and Bombay hemp. These names suggest that the species may be psychoactive.
Literature
Pilbeam, David J., and E. | | They are also rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C, but also thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, and beta-carotene) and minerals (Mg, Fe, Ca) as well as tannins, catechol tannins, sugars (mannitol, glucose, fructose, rhamnose, galactose, xylose), flavonoids, glycosides, amino acids (phenylalanine, choline, etc.), and proteins (Krikorian and Getahun 1973). There are also reports of an essential oil (Qedan 1972).
Effects
The primary effect of khat is an increase in energy and wakefulness (Widler et al. 1994). | | Fertilizing the plant with amino acids increases the biosynthesis of ephedrine (Ramawat and Arya 1979).
Effects
A decoction of Ephedra gerardiana elevates blood pressure; constricts blood vessels; has diuretic, stimulating (natural stimulant), and euphoriant effects; and causes allergic symptoms (hay fever, asthma) to disappear. The effects last six to eight hours.
Commercial Forms and Regulations
Herbage of Ephedra gerardiana that is sold outside of the Himalayan region is subject to the same regulations as other Ephedra species (see Ephedra sinica). |
Gary Null
See book keywords and concepts | | These physicians, many of whom were themselves psychiatrists, studied the effects of food allergies, nutrition, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in the treatment of such conditions as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, hyperactivity, and autism.
One of these alternative approaches is orthomolecular psychiatry. |
Richard Gerber, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The DNA molecule encodes and assigns the sequential arrangement of the various "colored" amino acids for each type of protein in its genetic structural memory.
We now know that molecules are aggregations of yet tinier particles called atoms. Only within the .last century has Western technology evolved to the point of being able to answer the question, "What are atoms?" It has now become common knowledge that atoms are further reducible to even smaller particles called electrons, neutrons, and protons. |
