 There are also growing concerns on possible risks from the use of HGH nutritional supplements, including oral sprays. It should, however, be recognized that HGH absorption from the mouth and gut is unlikely to be significant, in striking contrast to complete absorption from injectable medication. Nevertheless, nutritional rHGH supplements should be phased out until it can be shown that they do not elevate blood IGF-1 levels. |

 They have plotted to promote dangerous drugs while discrediting disease prevention alternatives such as nutritional supplements. They have attempted to destroy alternative health doctors and pioneering researchers who are finding genuine cures and treatments for chronic diseases.
This is a 1920s style Chicago mob mentality, and it's the agency that's running our drug safety program here in the United States. There have been people calling for change for decades: people like Dr. Sidney Wolfe of Public Citizen, Dr. |

 The only saving grace was that my dad was interested in nutrition and always encouraged me to take nutritional supplements, which I did throughout this period of nutritional darkness. Diane also took the supplements.
During her pregnancy, she was meticulous about her diet and avoided things obviously bad for both her and the baby. But at the time, I was not aware of the things that were known concerning nutrition and the development of a newborn. I had no knowledge about excito-toxins, fluoride, mercury, or the special fatty acids necessary for normal brain growth. |

 In addition, research suggests that some nutritional supplements, such as chromium picolinate and coenzyme Q10, may decrease cell damage in ways similar to calorie-restricted diets.
How Vitamins Reduced Barbara's Symptoms of Sickle-Cell Anemia
Barbara, age twenty-eight, was born with sickle-cell anemia, in which a genetic mutation interferes with the normal function of red blood cells and leads to their rapid breakdown. Her distant African ancestors benefited from this particular mutation, which conferred a measure of protection against the parasite causing malaria. |

 This Declaration says that I will never take money from supplement companies, nor will I personally sell nutritional supplements. So that means every product you see mentioned in this book is based on an honest, independent recommendation. I earn nothing from the products listed in these pages, and I only list them because I genuinely believe they can help you achieve a higher level of health, safely and naturally, without needing to turn to prescription drugs or harmful medical procedures.

| I even learned that your own body freely generates the best anti-cancer medicine in the world—vitamin D—a nutrient that's been proven to slash breast cancer risk by an astonishing 50 percent, but only if you get some exposure to natural sunlight or consume vitamin D through fish oils and nutritional supplements.
The miracle that saved my life
As I studied one book after another—first 10 books, then 50 and then hundreds—the answers to lifelong health and disease prevention began to emerge. It was all so obvious that I couldn't believe no one had taught me this information. |

 But virtually every clinician, including myself, who uses nutritional supplements with clients recommends omega-3s, though because of their numerous overlapping positive effects on the body, it's difficult to say just what their specific role is in terms of blood sugar and insulin. Nonetheless, the clinical evidence for their use is overwhelmingly positive. Dr. |

With the exception of Steiner and Piatek, virtually every holistic, integrative, or nutritionally based doctor I spoke to recoiled in horror at the mention of diet drugs. The most frequently cited objections were dependency, adrenal stress and burnout (the drugs are, after all, stimulants), and the fact that you have to keep taking them in order to keep the weight off. Dr. |
| It has some good information and articles (including reviews of weight loss products) and a link to HealthNotes, a comprehensive database of nutritional supplements. You can buy almost all the Atkins products here at a discount, and the customer service appears to be exemplary: www.vitacost.com/lowcarb
In addition to the sites I've reviewed for this latest edition of Living the Low Carb Life, three new ones in particular look like they deserve a visit. All were highly recommended by no less an expert than Andrea Mondello, webmaster for both www.lowcarbeating. |
| He stressed vegetables, talked about fiber, went to great lengths to emphasize individual responses and the need for customizing, and thought that both exercise and nutritional supplements were absolutely vital for optimal health. The later version of his book—as well as the breezier Atkins for Life—is heavily referenced with a superb bibliography of scientific studies.
Atkins' only real mistake was in portraying ketosis as identical to fat loss, and making it seem as though calories didn't matter at all. He kind of boxed himself into a corner on this one. |

| Repeatedly banned and confiscated herbs and nutritional supplements that compete with prescription drugs. Ephedra, for example, was banned by the FDA based on a political agenda, not good science.

| Articles concerning alternative treatments, such as the use of nutritional supplements, are few in number in clinically oriented journals, and usually are routinely rejected in favor of articles extolling the virtues of a prescription drug or surgical procedures.
Editors of these journals dispute such contentions, puff up their chests, and portray themselves as standard bearers of virtue and truth. This is pure hubris: they favor their friends, and the pharmaceutical companies who pay their bills. |

| Direct-to-consumer drug advertisements, which hype dangerous drugs approved on the basis of scientifically fraudulent studies, receive almost no scrutiny by the FDA. But nutritional supplements, which offer safe, effective prevention and treatment tools that actually support the body's own healing processes, are singled out for attacks via mondern-day medical McCarthyism.

| The medical and scientific literature supporting nutritional supplements is extensive and goes back over a hundred years. I know many doctors who religiously take supplements themselves but will not recommend them to their patients because of fear of being ridiculed by their colleagues. This is intellectually and morally dishonest.
Because our food has become adulterated by processing methods and certain growing practices, supplementation is more important than ever. Stress has become an integral part of human existence, and stress rapidly depletes our nutrients, especially our antioxidants. |
| This means a diet that includes proper types of fats, proteins and carbohydrates and a proper assortment of vitamins, minerals, and occasionally, special nutritional supplements.
Step One: Reduce or Eliminate Vaccines
This step will depend on where you live, since vaccine laws vary from state to state. My state, Mississippi, has the most stringent vaccination laws in the country. There are no religious or philosophical exemptions allowed and medical exemptions are difficult to have approved. Even worse, combined vaccines cannot be broken up and given separately. |
| Virtually every day another headline appears exposing the dangers of nutritional supplements. Vitamin C causes cancer! Vitamin C causes heart attacks! Herbs destroy the liver! Vitamin E causes hemorrhages! Ginkgo biloba can result in hemorrhaging! What is going on? Are supplements really that dangerous?
Make no mistake: behind all of these scare stories is money, the love of which is the root of all evil. The alternative medicine sector of health care has grown into a multi-billion dollar business and people are abandoning traditional medical care for these alternatives. |

 Other countries have already adopted either full or partial CODEX regulations concerning nutritional supplements. The results? In Germany, until 1996, one could freely purchase 500 mg vitamin-C tablets, the way you can here. Now the highest dosage available to Germans is 200 mg; anything higher is sold through pharmacists at extremely high prices and only with a prescription. All herbs are regulated as drugs and manufactured only by German pharmaceutical companies, available to consumers only by prescription. |
| Call, write, or email your state's senators and congresspeople, and tell them of your opinions and how you want them to represent you and your freedom to health care and nutritional supplements. As I said in the introduction to this book—you, as a consumer, have power and can use it effectively to help preserve the rainforest through your consumer dollars. As a voter, you also have power to protect your freedom to choose the right health care services and products—use it effectively by getting informed and participating in the political process! |
| Simply put, this new directive was the European Union's methodology of accepting and adopting a global harmonization of guidelines effecting nutritional supplements worldwide called "CODEX" which the U.S. is taking part in and is in the process of determining how it will be adopted and implemented here. The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CODEX) was set up in 1962 as a joint body of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) under the heavy influence of the European drug industry. |
| The United States is legally obligated to ensure national laws do not conflict with World Trade Organization rules" including laws such as these new ones being adopted in the EU regulating our freedom to nutritional supplements. Therefore, as a member of the WTO, the U.S. will be bound by any finalized standards put forth in the EU directive. If we choose to ignore the regulations that this affiliation binds us to, we could face severe trade sanctions with other WTO countries, and damage part of our economy in our ability to export our goods overseas.

 This is not a statement against the use of nutritional supplements. The author suggests that synthetic supplements should be used with the awareness that assimilation involves the interaction of dynamic forces between us and the food and not just the mechanical absorption of nutrients, and that the indiscriminate use of synthetic supplements is something to be aware of.
Wholistic digestion, then, involves an intimate relationship with the nutrients we take in. It involves the liberation of the cosmic forces that are at the core of the material food. |

 Instead of spending a few dollars a month on nutritional supplements that would prevent these chronic diseases and aggressive behaviors, we end up spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on building new prisons and treating these people with expensive prescriptions and mind-altering drugs. When it comes to children, for example, instead of giving them the food they need to be healthy, which would prevent these diseases and disorders, we dose them on Ritalin, antidepressants and other mind-altering drugs. This is expensive. |

 The prominence of nutritional supplements in the detox program is due to the fact that the mere presence of artificial chemicals appears to have increased the need for nutrients to the point that we now need more vitamins and minerals than we can realistically get from our diet. Consequently, most people are deficient in at least one or more essential nutrients. Adding to the problem, the foods in our diets provide fewer nutrients than they used to. |
| These and other centers use a combination of the following methods to treat cancer: diet (more raw, uncooked foods), nutritional supplements, herbal and plant extracts with anticancer properties (like lycopene and soy products and fungi), counseling, relaxation techniques, exercise, and other methods. These places are also usually very happy to work with people who also want to use conventional forms of cancer therapy.
Their philosophy, like mine, is based around helping the body to rid itself of cancer. |
| If not anticipated and properly prepared for (by taking nutritional supplements and soluble fiber as described in this program), the subsequent damage could potentially double the long-term risk of developing diabetes.
People working with other types of pesticides, such as herbicides and insecticides, also have a higher risk of developing diabetes. As well as triggering hormonal damage, these chemicals can also cause dramatic swings in blood sugar levels. |

Rebalancing the Immune System
The Toxic Overload program will lower the body's exposure to chemical toxins and give the immune system the nutrients it needs to work properly. Best of all, by ridding your home and body of chemicals, you will strengthen the immune system naturally, letting it work the way that nature intended. |
| Taking the nutritional supplements outlined in the supplement program in chapter 2, you can further fortify your immune system while simultaneously protecting your body from the harmful effects of toxic chemicals. Although it is best to follow the complete program, the nutrients that are particularly important in calming down the immune system are zinc, selenium, magnesium, and vitamins A, B, C, D, and E.
However, I have found that some people with thyroid diseases have problems taking certain supplements, particularly if they are on thyroid hormone replacements. |

Toxic metals (mercury, lead, nickel, cadmium, chromium)
To limit your exposure to hayfever-inducing chemicals, it is important to take nutritional supplements to help your body lower its existing load of chemicals (vitamin C and magnesium also act as natural antihistamines), and follow the guidelines in chapter 3 when planning and preparing your meals. You should eat organic foods and wash and prepare them in ways that will reduce your chemical intake. |
