| While these surveys look for common deficiencies such as iron; calcium; zinc; potassium; iodine; magnesium; selenium; manganese; vitamins A, C, E, Bt (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), and B6; folate (folic acid); and iodine, they ignore equally important nutrients such as essential fatty acids and the amino acids critical to proper detoxification.
As you begin to remove toxins from your body, you'll want simultaneously to replenish your cells with as much good nutrition as you can get from both your regular diet and supplementation. |
| When properly digested, carbohydrates are converted to glucose, protein to amino acids, and fats are broken down into glycerin and fatty acids. If these conversions are incomplete, food will not be in the proper form for our bodies to absorb. That food will therefore pass through the system undigested (or partially digested), producing toxins as a result. |

 Tofu (bean curd), a daily feature in the Okinawan diet, has been compared to bread in France or potatoes in Eastern Europe, the difference being that while one cannot live by bread or potatoes alone, tofu is an almost uniquely perfect food: low in calories, high in protein, rich in minerals, devoid of cholesterol, eco-friendly, and complete in the amino acids necessary for human sustenance. An excellent source of protein without the side effects of meat, tofu contains a compound, phytoestrogen, which may provide heart-protective properties to women. |
| It infuses the grain with a high concentration of calcium greater than in untreated maize and most other foods, and unlocks certain amino acids for the body to absorb. Nicoyans call the resulting maize dough maiz nixquezado.
"Mata has been studying diets in Guatemala where people prepare corn in that manner," she continued. "Populations consuming maiz nixquezado (maiz nixtamalizado in Guatemala, Mexico, and other countries) appear to have very low rates of rickets and also suffer fewer fractured bones and hips. |

 The repetlinq forces between the two negatively charged terminal amino acids (arrows) causes the backbone to extend so that the negative amino acids are as far apart as possible. Figure B shows a close-up of an end amino acid. A signal, in this case a molecule with a very positive electric charge (white sphere), is attracted to, and binds with, the negative site on the protein's terminal amino acid. In our particular scenario, the signal is more positive in charge than the amino acid is negative in charge. |

 When levels of vitamins B12, folate, and B6 are adequate in the body, homocysteine is quickly converted into non-toxic amino acids. When these vitamins are depleted, homocysteine levels rise, and over time this contributes to serious problems such as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and Alzheimer's disease. People who take metformin may be at increased risk of high homocysteine because of B12 and folate depletion. |

| Just as proteins are built from amino acids, fats are built from fatty acids. Some fatty acids are extremely beneficial to your health while others are best avoided.
Over the past twenty years, the low-fat diet craze has caused many people to replace fat in their diets with low-fat carbohydrates, and the result has been a nationwide epidemic of obesity. Imbalanced or inadequate intake of fats can cause everything from PMS and infertility to depression, anxiety, and even premature aging. |
| Meat, fish, poultry, cheese, milk, and eggs are considered complete proteins, because they contain the essential amino acids in a good balance. You need about 20 grams of protein per meal, which is equal to three eggs; 3 to 4 ounces of lean meat, poultry, or fish; or half a can (3 ounces) of tuna.
Dairy products, preferably organic and free of antibiotics or hormones, are also a good source of protein. Three small containers (16 ounces total) of unsweetened yogurt or a cup of cottage cheese provide all you need per meal. |

Then I gradually weaned her off the Xanax and the sleeping medication. A few months later, she was off all the drugs, and happy to report that she was "feeling like (her) old self again."
For most people, the first-line most common treatment for depression is prescription antidepressants. |

 Product Ingredients
Proprietary blend of amino acids known to be neurotransmitter precursors were dispersed into a lozenge base. In particular, these ingredients were: glutamine, L-tyrosine, velvet bean extract (Mucuna pruriens), Griffonia simplicifolia extract (5-hydroxytryptophan), and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). These components make up the precursor pathways to both dopamine and serotonin. They are delivered in a flavored dissolving lozenge base of sucralose and isomalt. Commercially, this is available as a product called CraniYums. |

 Wave communication was supposedly the means by which the smaller activities of proteins, the work of amino acids, for instance, would be carried out and a good way to synchronize activities between proteins and the system as a whole.18
In his own studies, Frohlich had shown that once energy reaches a certain threshold, molecules begin to vibrate in unison, until they reach a high level of coherence. The moment molecules reach this state of coherence, they take on certain qualities of quantum mechanics, including nonlocality. They get to the point where they can operate in tandem. |
| The usual scientific explanation has to do with the chemical interactions between molecules and with DNA, the coiled double helix of genetic coding that holds a blueprint of the body's protein and amino acids. Each DNA helix or chromosome - and the identical twenty-six pairs exist in every one of the thousand million million cells in your body - contains a long chain of nucleotides, or bases, of four different components (shortened to ATCG) arranged in a unique order in every human body. |
| The modern scientific view is that DNA somehow manages to build the body and spearhead all its dynamic activities just by selectively turning off and on certain segments, or genes, whose nucleotides, or genetic instructions, select certain RNA molecules, which in turn select from a large alphabet of amino acids the genetic 'words' which create specific proteins. These proteins supposedly are able to both build the body and to switch on and off all the chemical processes inside the cell which ultimately control the running of the body. |

 Proteins are made up of longer chains of amino acids. When foods are digested in the stomach, the proteins in those foods are broken down from these long-chain amino acids into peptides. By some quirk of nature, some of the peptides derived from food are almost identical to our endorphin peptides. The name given to these peptides is exorphins, because they come from outside the body. Exorphins can be derived from a variety of foods including wheat, maize, barley, and milk.
One of the questions that arises from this knowledge is why does this affect some people and not others? |

 Other crucial functions of carnitine include the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, ammonia detoxification, and lactic acid clearance.
Remember that lactic acid accumulation has been shown to have deleterious effects on vital tissues, such as the heart and brain. Strenuous, hypoxic exercise (exercise resulting in oxygen deficiency in the body) can also result in high levels of lactic acid, which makes the blood and tissues too acidic. I have personally experienced this painful reaction in college athletics and my colleague, Dr. Roberts, feels it every time he trains for a marathon. |

| THE FOOD CONNECTION
The protein we eat is broken down by digestive processes into its component amino acids. For brain function, the most important ones are tryptophan, tyrosine, GABA, glutamine, and taurine. They are turned into neurotransmitters with the help of cofactors, or chemical helpers: vitamins B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid (folate), BI2 (cyanoco-balamin), and C; and the minerals zinc and magnesium. In addition, you need the essential fatty acids that make up about 60 percent of each brain cell. All of these can be supplemented as you'll see later in this chapter. |

COCONUT OIL
Mature coconuts are used in the creation of health-enhancing coconut oil that is mostly solid at room temperature, so it is often referred to as coconut butter. Raw, unprocessed coconut oil smells fragrant like fresh coconuts, while most commercial coconut oils, including the brands commonly found in health food stores, are often deodorized and heat-processed, and therefore are not recommended. |

| Glutamate and its biochemical "cousin," aspartic acid or aspartate, are the two most plentiful amino acids in the brain.
Wheat gluten is 43% glutamate, the milk protein casein is 23% glutamate.
This glutamate removal mechanism is critical to brain protection. Additionally, mercury in very low concentrations increases glutamate release, primarily by stimulating the brain's immune cell, the microglia. Chronic microglial activation, as seen with mercury exposure, has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases. |

In some disorders, the additional step of enhancing enzyme activity by supplying its cofactor can be helpful. An example of this is providing pharmacological doses of biotin in biotinidase deficiency [57] or vitamin B6 on which cystathionine (3-synthase is dependent in some forms of homocystinuria [58]. |

 He first started analyzing amino acids in wild mushrooms to see if he could turn some of the toxic chains of amino acids that were present in the mushrooms into new antibiotics. Then, he moved on to studying other organic fluids, including blood and urine, that contained peptides. (Peptides are short chains of amino acids.) He began finding peptides in human blood and urine that no one had ever known about before. According to Burzynski, "nobody had bothered to identify them. Nobody cared what they were."2
