 Brewer's yeast should not be confused with baker's yeast, nutritional yeast, or torula yeast, which are low in chromium.
Brewer's yeast, perhaps by changing bacterial flora in the large intestine, might be helpful in treating of some cases of infectious diarrhea (p. 58).
Where Is It Found?
Brewer's yeast, which has a very bitter taste, is recovered after being used in the beer-brewing process. Brewer's yeast can also be grown specifically for harvest as a nutritional supplement. |

 Seizures occur in 15% of people sensitive to aspartame, most of whom suffered their first convulsions after consuming a diet product. No other underlying cause could be found in most of these patients, despite extensive tests such as CT (computerized tomography, formerly CAT) scan, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), EEG (electroencephalogram), and even an angiogram of the cerebral blood vessels. Aspartame-caused seizures disappear or dramatically decrease when aspartame is avoided, even without antiepileptic drags.94
A single dose of aspartame can trigger a seizure in susceptible patients. |

 Fluid Intake
Liberal fluid intake keeps the urine diluted and promotes the excretion of uric acid. Furthermore, dilution of the urine reduces the risk of kidney stones.2 Drink at least 48 ounces of water each day.
Nutritional Supplements
Eicosapentaenoic Acid
Supplementation with omega-3 oils appears useful in the treatment of gout. The omega-3 oil eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) limits the production of the inflammatory leukotrienes, the key mediators of much of the inflammation and tissue damage observed in gout. |

| As with other amino acid—related substances, HMB appears to play a role in the synthesis of protein—including the protein that builds new muscle tissue.
Animal research suggests that HMB may improve the growth of lean muscle tissue,1 but only preliminary and limited research in humans supports the potential link between HMB and enhanced muscle building in athletes (p. 20). |

AMARANTH [Amaranthus hypochondriacus, A. cruentus)
Brief Description
Not a true cereal, but rather a fruit, it belongs to the same family (chenopodium) as the edible weed, lamb's-quarter. Looking like a sesame seed, it has a pleasant, nutty flavor and can be popped like corn or steamed and flattened into a flake. It requires very little water and fertilizer, growing almost anywhere the common weeds do. |

| What About "One-Per-Day" Multiples?
One-per-day multiples are primarily B-complex (p. 341) vitamins, with vitamin A (p. 336) and vitamin D (p. 343) sometimes being high and other times being low potency. The rest of the formula tends to be low potency. It does not take much of some of the minerals—for example, copper (p. 285), zinc (p. 346), and iron (p. 304)—to offer 100% or more of what people normally require, so these minerals may appear at reasonable levels in a one-per-day MVM. |
| The essential amino acid requirements of burn patients may exceed the amount of lysine in the diet.
How Much Is Usually Taken?
Most people do not require lysine supplementation. Nutritionally oriented doctors often suggest that people with recurrent herpes simplex infections take 1,000-3,000 mg of lysine per day. Are There Any Side Effects or Interactions? In animals, high doses of lysine have been linked to increased risk of gallstones (p. 69)5 and elevated cholesterol (p. 79). |
| As with other amino acid-related substances, HMB appears to play a role in the synthesis of protein, including the protein that builds new muscle tissue. Animal research suggests that HMB may improve the growth of lean muscle tissue,151 but only preliminary and limited research in humans supports the potential link between HMB and enhanced muscle building in athletes.152 One study of twenty-eight individuals involved in a weight-lifting program reported that supplements of 3 grams of HMB, compared with no supplementation, contributed to greater gains of muscle in 7 weeks. |
| While this effect has been found in studies on hospitalized patients127 and elderly people,128 no studies on muscle growth in athletes using OKG have been published.
Creatine (p. 285) (creatine monohydrate) is used in muscle tissue for the production of phosphocreatine, a factor in the formation of ATP, the source of energy for muscle contraction and many other functions in the body.129130 Creatine supplementation increases phosphocreatine levels in muscle, especially when accompanied by exercise or carbohydrate intake. |

 Aloe has a long history of use as an external remedy for irritations, cuts, and burns—perhaps the most important such item in history. On the day that Christopher Columbus set sail for the Indies he wrote in his diary, "All is well, aloe is on board!" (174)
It has been popular as a folk medicine all over the world, including China, Java, Nepal, and Malaya. Its beneficial effect on skin has been known for millennia. In fact, its production is a multi-million dollar industry, especially since it is a common ingredient in lotions and shampoos for the mass market. |

 For the chemist, there is no distinction between a naturally occurring chemical and its equivalent counterpart, a manmade (synthetic) chemical. One significant operational difference, however, is that naturally occurring chemicals in the food supply are not subject to the same government regulations as manmade chemicals, a fact that raises questions about their safety and role as a possible threat to the health and well-being of an individual.

The medicinal use of licorice in both Western and Eastern cultures dates back several thousand years. It was used primarily as a demulcent, expectorant, antitussive, and mild laxative. Licorice is one of the most popular components of Chinese medicines. Its traditional uses include treating peptic ulcers, asthma, pharyngitis, malaria, abdominal pain, insomnia, and infections. |

Neurotoxicity In Infancy
Elevated phenylalanine concentrations are particularly undesirable during pregnancy and infancy because the potential exists for damaging the brain during its period of maximum growth. For example, high concentrations of phenylalanine tend to inhibit the turnover of myelin that protects nerves (Hommes 1987).
Dr. William M. Pardridge (1986) considers phenylalanine to be the major neurotoxic amino acid of aspartame. |

 When buying cornmeal, look for stone-ground meal. However, because of its high oil content, cornmeal has a relatively brief shelf life. Store it in the refrigerator in airtight containers for up to three months, or twice that long in the freezer. There is a downside to this. While cool temperatures prevent the meal from turning rancid and inhibit insect infestation, vitamins are lost.
In addition to cornmeal, corn is found as hominy (hulled corn kernels), as well as grits, hulled corn that has been ground into a meal. To cook, gradually add 1 cup of grits to 4 cups boiling water. |

 I usually recommend Humatrope, manufactured by the French pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, but there are other excellent brands such as Norditropin, made by Novo Nordisk in Denmark. The typical dosage for adults is by body weight, with an average replacement range from 0.5-1.0 IU per day. However, when applying all of the dietary, lifestyle, nutritional, and herbal recommendations in this book, you can achieve effective results with considerably lower dosages.

| Glutamic acid hydrochloride is used sometimes in formulas, but this amino acid is only mildly acidic and does not work as well as betaine hydrochloride. Betaine may be used alone, in supplements, or along with pepsin or other digestive agents.
The use of HCl support is part of the antiaging process in this book, provided, of course, that HCl production is low. A Heidelberg capsule, gastric pH test (which directly measures stomach pH) can be done to verify a low or high acidity; then, a supplement can be administered to see what effect it has on stomach pH. |

He identified this process saying, "Aging is caused by free radical reactions, which may be caused by the environment, from disease and intrinsic reactions within the aging process." Dr. |

| Cantaloupe Just because you like its taste might not be the only reason you crave this melon. Cantaloupe is high in potassium and vitamin A. In fact, a quarter of a melon has 3,400 IU vitamin A. Since the melon also offers vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, biotin, and inositol, it's not a bad craving to give in to. There's only about 60 calories in half a melon.
Olives Whether you crave them green or black, you're likely to be after the salt. People with underactive thyroids are most often the first to reach for them.
