Thus, all physical and emotional factors must be addressed. The nutritional supplements recommended for asthma are also relevant here. Vtamin B6: 25 mg twice a day Vitamin B12:1,000 meg/day Vitamin C: 1 to 2g/day Vitamin E: 400 IU/day Magnesium: 200 to 300 mg three times a day Quercetin: 400 mg 20 minutes before meals Carotene: 25,000 to 50,000 IU/day Selenium: 250 meg/day THE UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The organs of the upper respiratory system include the nose, the pharynx, and the larynx. Table 15.13.

Ultraprevention : The 6-Week Plan That Will Make You Healthy for Life

His carbohydrate metabolism is impaired and requires a special combination of dietary changes, fiber, phytonutri-ents, and nutritional supplements to correct that. Other people may need extra gamma-linolenic acid or lipoic acid, or inositol or zinc or B6 (pyridoxine). Perhaps you need antioxidants, while someone else needs vitamin D, or magnesium, or manganese. Modern medical doctors tend to think they are treating large groups of people at once. They aren't. They are treating one person at a time.

This is a very encouraging number, because again, it's showing the power of information to reach people in a way that motivates them to actually make these positive changes. Simply making the decision to eat more blueberries on a day-to-day basis can have phenomenal long-term impacts on your health, but if you don't know about the power of blueberries to lower LDL cholesterol, for example, or to help protect the eyes from macular degeneration, then you don't have the information to make that decision.

The New Optimum Nutrition Bible

This is consistent with the public health record of deaths attributed to nutritional supplements. To date, no one has been reported as dying as a result of a vitamin supplement. Very rarely there are deaths due to children's swallowing handfuls of their mother's sugar-coated iron supplements. Compare this with deaths attributed to prescribed drugs.
One of my clients who had preeclamptic toxemia during her first pregnancy improved her diet and added nutritional supplements; her second pregnancy was entirely healthy. Think zinc Getting through pregnancy without developing any stretch marks isn't just down to luck—it's related to a woman's nutritional status. So for smooth, elastic skin, boost zinc levels by eating nuts, fish, peas, and egg yolks, supplementing 15 mg a day, and ensuring a good daily source of vitamins C and E. Food cravings in pregnancy are usually a sign of mineral deficiencies.

The Vitamin Revolution in Health Care

Michael Janson, M.D.

Diet and nutritional supplements provide the building blocks to form a healthier, more vital organism. Health History You may have heard of someone's grandparent who lived to a ripe old age with little attention to diet or nutritional supplements. This is quite possible. However, it is important to realize that potential human life span is well over 100 years. Living to 80 or 90 years may result from growing up with cleaner air and water, fresher food, fewer chemical exposures and lesser availability of highly processed foods.

It's now easy to have your homocysteine tested, and if a high level is found, this can be reduced to a healthy level in around three months with the right nutritional supplements. It's well worth checking your homocysteine level before trying to conceive, and lowering your score, if it's above six, by supplementing folic acid, B12, B6, and TMG (see chapter 16). Anyone considering IVF (in vitro fertilization; where a woman's egg and her partner's sperm are fertilized outside her body and then implanted in the womb) should cover all these "optimum nutrition" bases first.

The prescription drug pentoxifylline may be advised if nutritional supplements do not reduce levels of systemic inflammation. Suggested dose is 400 mg twice daily. 6. Melatonin deficiency has been linked to anemia; 3-10 mg at bedtime is recommended. Thrombocytopenia 1. Melatonin, 10-40 mg a night (some people may only be able to tolerate 3 mg a night of melatonin). 2. Standardized shark oil capsules may boost the production of blood platelets, 5 capsules daily, containing 200 mg of alkylglycerols.
PREVENTING POST-SURGERY INFECTION Patients taking immune-boosting nutritional supplements may have fewer potentially life-threatening infections following major surgery. In a study reported in Lancet (2001), 50 patients were randomized to receive a specially formulated supplement ot a placebo for at least 5 days prior to catdiac surgery (Tepaske et al. 2001). The patients were considered to be at high risk for postopetative infection due to low ejection fraction, advanced age, and other factors.

If you could relax all the muscles in your body, think how much you would save in nutritional supplements! Conservative estimates suggest that you double your need for vitamins when you are in a stressed state. The energy equation If you want to maximize your available energy for life, and to retain that energy rather than burning out, the nutritional message is simple: • Eat slow-releasing carbohydrates—ones that release their "fuel" slowly. • Ensure you have optimal intakes of all essential nutrients—vitamins, minerals, and others. • Avoid stimulants and depressants.
Colgan also found that pulse rate, which is more a measure of heart strength and is therefore lower in fitter people, decreased from 76 to an average of 65 over a period of five years among those on nutritional supplements. An ideal pulse rate is probably below 65 beats per minute. What causes heart disease? To understand how nutritional supplementation as well as dietary changes make all the difference, we need to examine the underlying cause of arterial disease. Back in 1913 a Russian scientist, Dr. Anitschkov, thought he had the answer.

Regardless, I undertook a self-administered program to remove the mercury from my system, using various nutritional supplements including garlic, vitamin C, and fiber, as well as a great deal of hyperthermic therapy, such as sauna treatments. I also restored a healthier rhythm to my life, with regular patterns of sleeping, waking, eating, resting, and working. My diet changed as I stopped relying on caffeine and sugar to keep me going, and instead started using nutrients and herbal therapies that could heal my digestive system and repair my damaged immune system.

Vaccines are not the answer for bird flu

The strains of flu that sweep through North America are different every year. The antibody response will only be protective if manufacturers of the vaccine are lucky enough to pick the right flu virus. A study from the Netherlands showed that among two groups of elderly people – one that received flu shots and one that received a placebo – the group receiving the flu shot had only a one percent lower incidence of the flu than the placebo group." Interesting, isn't it?

Intake of most nutritional supplements should also be curtailed as these are usually not recommended during a fast. Many people prepare for their fasts by consuming only fruit and vegetable foods for three or four days. These slowly detoxify the body so that the actual fast will be less intense. The first one-day fast gives us a chance to see what a short fast can be like. Most of us find that it is not so very difficult and does not cause major distress. Food is abstained from for thirty-six hours, from 8 p.m. one night until 8 a.m. two days later.

Since they are more subtle and less symptomatic, I can correct them with less invasive and safer therapies, specifically dietary changes, nutritional supplements, herbal and homeopathic remedies, body work, rest and quiet, and hands-on therapies. I encourage you to try a natural remedy the next time you experience a problem, unless of course, you believe your condition to be serious or dangerous.

Antioxidants include detoxification enzymes, such as SOD; vitamins, includ' ing beta carotene and other carotenoids; vitamins C and E; and nutritional supplements such as coen' zyme Q\q, cysteine, glutathione, lipoic acid, and melatonin. In a study by Oteiza et al. (1997), several parame-ters indicative of oxidative stress were evaluated in blood from individuals with the sporadic form of ALS and were compared to healthy controls. Plasma levels of 2-thiobarbituric-reactive substances (TBARS), products of lipid peroxidation, were significantly higher (p < 0.
There are many types of antioxidants, including: • Detoxification enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione transferase • Enzymes such as glutathione teductase, albumin, transferrin, ceruloplasmin, and metallothionein. • nutritional supplements including tocotrienols, coenzyme Qio> vitamins C and E, lycopene, cysteine, glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, and melatonin. Inflammation represents a major source of oxidants. Inflammation is often caused by bacterial or viral infections, toxic exposure, and aging-related cytokine changes.

Use nutritional supplements and herbs as appropriate. Supplement your digestive function as needed with hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes, and pancreatic products. • Moderate your use of alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. Beware of excessive use of prescription, OTC, and recreational drugs. • Exercise. If you don't yet have an exercise program, set one up. Do it regularly and with the right combination of activities that will provide strength, flexibility, endurance, and enjoyment. • Maintain regular elimination.

Love and joy can rejuvenate the body and can be more effective than even the best nutritional supplements. Learning to Love Again: Obviously it is not possible to fall in love with someone on a regular basis, but it is possible to experience the feeling of love as a conscious exercise. Love has traditionally been associated with the heart. Of course, it is not the heart muscle itself that makes us feel love, but the heart chakra centered at the middle of the breastbone.

Needless to say, I have returned to the nutritional supplements that initially helped her. They are not only better, but easier to take and less expensive at around $40.00 per month. We tend to think of herbs and synthetic drugs as an either/or paradigm— traditional or alternative. We anticipate either walking into a brightly lit room smelling of antiseptic, bracing ourselves for a cotton swab, or the opposite extreme: entering a dim room filled with large plants, wind chimes, and a water fountain trickling in the corner. Realistically, however, herbs and synthetic drugs are not worlds apart.

Under present conditions, however, it is rarely possible to achieve and maintain good health without resorting to special vitamin-rich foods and nutritional supplements. In the case of poor health, absorption of vitamins and minerals is impaired, while your requirements for them are simultaneously raised. This phenomenon underlies the widespread vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our society, which result in a multitude of diseases.

Whether you take antioxidants as supplements or as part of a high-quality diet, make sure you get plenty. Are nutritional supplements Dangerous? Generally, health authorities promote pharmaceutical drugs as beneficial and natural remedies as harmful. They tend to call natural remedies "drugs," and the view has been put forward that synthetic nutrients are the same as natural ones. Research results using synthetic products, such as vitamins A, D, E, or beta-carotene, with negative or harmful outcomes are then used as "scientific proof" that natural remedies are either useless or dangerous.

Why organized medicine wants to outlaw nutrition and turn healers into criminals

This is such a reversal of reality that it's absolutely astounding they can get away with even talking about it without being laughed off of the television show or radio interview. If you think about it, prescription drugs are what's killing people. Prescription drugs are extremely dangerous, even according to the statistics put out by organized medicine. We have one class of drugs, Cox-2 inhibitors, which, all by itself, is responsible for at least 144,000 heart attacks in the United States alone. Over 40 percent of those are fatal.

When a friend introduced her to some potent nutritional supplements, I was able to see for myself her miraculous improvement. Within months, the sparkle returned to my wife's eyes. She was able to again ride her horses and seemed to have completely renewed strength and joy. She was no longer taking any medications, because she did not have a need for them. I had always dismissed vitamin supplementation as simply the ingredients for "expensive urine.
