METABOLISM
Transportation into tissues
The heart and skeletal muscles, as well as many other tissues, depend primarily on fatty acid oxidation as a source of energy. Since they cannot synthesize carnitine, its transport into these tissues is of critical importance.
Specific carnitine binding transport proteins have been identified for several tissues, e.g. |

See book keywords and concepts |  B6. Food rich in l-taurine include clams, tuna fish, oysters, and human milk. l-taurine increases the calcium availability in heart muscle for contractions while it protects against calcium overload. Like coenzyme Q,o, l-taurine has been tested in people with chronic congestive heart failure. One study tested the effects of l-taurine (3 grams per day) in 17 patients with congestive heart failure. l-taurine improved the ability of the heart to pump blood after 6 weeks.

2. starch-digesting enzymes: amylase, which breaks down carbohydrate polysaccharides to disaccharides.
3. fat-digesting enzymes: lipase, which helps break down fat into glycerol and fatty acids.
These enzymes do their work in the remainder of the duodenum and subsequent sections of the small intestine. To complete the process that pancreatic enzymes initiate, other crucial enzymes located in the villi, the epithelial cells of the mucosa of the small bowel, finish the digestive phenomena. |

The higher the arginine to lysine ratio, the more herpes virus is likely to grow. Conversely, if lysine is high with respect to arginine, the growth is inhibited. Chocolate, peanuts, most cereal grains, nuts, and seeds have more arginine than lysine.

AROMATHERAPY: Make a cold compress with camphor, lavender, chamomile, eucalyptus, or rosemary.
HERBS: • Combine equal parts of the tinctures of horse-tad, nettle, and willow bark and take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. • Apply comfrey to the affected area.
HOMEOPATHY: Ruta grav.
HYDROTHERAPY: • Contrast application (apply daily, if acute). |

Rather than destroying cancer cells, he believed, these antineoplastons could repro-gram and correct them without negative side effects.13
Dr. Burzynski set up a Houston research institute in 1977 to treat terminal cancer patients under an explicit understanding with the state medical society that his drugs were not yet approved by the FDA, yet would be considered legal. |

Defective Energy Production in Alzheimer's Neurons
Thus far we have seen that there are conditions associated with Alzheimer's disease that impair the delivery of energy-giving glucose to the brain. We have also seen that in the case of Parkinson's disease metabolic energy defects have been identified within the specific neurons responsible for this disease.369 Similar findings have been demonstrated in the case of Alzheimer's disease. |

In the last analysis, we see only what we are ready to see, what we have been taught to see. We eliminate and ignore everything that is not a part of our prejudices.
— J.M. Charcot, M.D.
ACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA ("low blood sugar attacks") is a common disorder, notwithstanding pronouncements by "authorities" to the contrary. I have conservatively estimated that a tendency for hypoglycemia exists among one out of three persons in our society (Roberts 1964a, b,d; 1971b). |

Many athletes take pollen to boost strength and endurance during intense competition. Even athletes that many people would consider to be "past their prime" have used pollen to boost their strength beyond that of most young athletes. Seniors like Harry Sittonen and Noel Johnson take bee pollen every day with amazing results. |

"These findings do not prove or disprove nutritional deficiency," wrote Moss. |

In addition to 5-methylTHF, methylcobalamin, betaine, and P5P, N-acetylcysteine has been reported to significantly lower homocysteine levels. |

Regarding the inorganic ions, specifically, the horn-shaped carpophore (stalk) contains Mg, Ca, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Ge, while the pileus (cap) contains the same except no Cu (Shin et al, 1986).

Kalchbr. is used in TCM to ease "tendons and veins," and to dispel cold and wind. This species is a major component of Tendon-easing Powder (Liu and Bau, 1980).

Grown in a medium of peat extract, the mushroom has high protein content and high concentrations of essential fatty acids and minerals (Manu-Tawiah and Martin, 1987). Grown on wheat straw, P. ostreatus contains minerals (7.9%), crude fiber (12.0%), lipids (4.2%), protein (15.7%), and carbohydrates (54.4%) (Garcha, 1993). | | Ehrlich ascities tumour and sarcoma 180 in mice, and lysine, reported to increase body height and weight (Ying et al, 1987).
Polysaccharides of F. velutipes show significant tumor inhibition in mice with sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich carcinoma (Ying et al, 1987).
A polysaccharide fraction from this mushroom produced a tumor inhibition rate of 82% with a dose of 1 mg/kg/day against sarcoma 180 in mice (Yoshioka et al, 1973).
F. velutipes contains a cardiotoxic protein (flammutoxin) that is rendered harmless when subjected to heat (100°C) for a period of 20 minutes. | | Jung, 1981), as well as schizophyllan, an active polysaccharide (Kikumoto et al, 1970). The dried fungus contains, in mg/100 g, iron (280 mg), phosphorus (646 mg), calcium (90 mg), 0.5% fats, and 17.0% protein (Parent and Thoen, 1977).
Pharmacology
The polysaccharide schizophyllan shows antitumor activity against both the solid (Tabata et al, 1981) and ascites forms of sarcoma 180, as well as against the solid form only of sarcoma 37, Ehrlich carcinoma, Yoshida sarcoma (Komatsu, 1969), and Lewis lung carcinoma (Yamamoto et al, 1981). | | They also contain calvacin, a moderately heat-stable mucoid ingredient which effectively inhibits the growth of sarcoma 180 in mice (Hanssen & Schadler, 1982). Externally it is used as a styptic, and internally it is used to reduce fever and internal heat. In TCM, it is said to be effective against chronic tonsillitis, and swollen, sore throats, (Ying et al, 1987) and is applied topically to stop bleeding in oral hemorrhages and nosebleeds (Bensky & Gamble, 1993). Between 1.5-6 grams of the dried puffball is used as a tea internally, or the spore powder is applied externally (Tu, 1988). |

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) supplementation is very useful in the treatment of gout. EPA limits the production of the proinflammatory leukotrienes, which are the mediators of much of the inflammation and tissue damage observed in gout. |
