Energy Law #2: Your Energy Supply Is Unique and Constantly Fluctuating
Two guiding principles are at work here. First, the ebb and flow of your energy level is as individual as your thumbprint. While a coworker may seem to thrive on 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night or never need a break during the day, the same may not hold true for you. In reality, everyone requires periods of recovery to perform at a consistently high level. |

Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., one of the pioneers in vitamin therapy, initially began treating cancer patients for depression and anxiety. He soon found that patients taking large dosages of vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals were living longer than those who did not. When his cases were analyzed by Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, Ph.D., it became clear that cancer patients were living several times longer (postdiagnosis) when they took supplements, compared with patients who chose not to take supplements. | | A large variety of nutritional supplements might help, but you will have to experiment to find the best combination for your particular body and allergies. Vitamin C (1 to 5 grams daily), quercetin (300 to 1,000 mg daily), and omega-3 fish oils (1 to 3 grams daily) make a good start. Several B vitamins, including niacinamide, pantothenic acid, and vitamins B and B12, also may help relieve allergies; a B-complex supplement may be better than individual supplements. Again, do whatever you can to reduce exposure, such as using air conditioning and high-efficiency air filters. | | Rather than relying only on omega-3 fatty acids, people with asthma might have greater success by also taking gamma-linolenic acid, vitamin E, and other nutritional supplements.
What Else Might Help?
Many other nutrients help ease asthmatic reactions, and it is worth trying them—in addition to strictly following the Anti-Inflammation Syndrome Diet Plan. People with asthma commonly have low levels of magnesium, a mineral involved in more than three hundred biochemical processes in the body. | | Although these companies are not allowed to make a therapeutic claim for nutritional supplements, many of their product names are often very suggestive, and clerks in health food stores and pharmacies can often provide guidance.
Some products are formulated as general anti-inflammatory supplements with many ingredients, whereas others are stand-alone products such as omega-3 fish oil, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), glucosamine, and vitamin E supplements. The following companies produce and market high-quality products.

See book keywords and concepts | | There isn't any way around it: As a woman gets older, her body needs ample doses of rest, nutritional supplements (including vitamins and antioxidants), and physical activity in order to stay healthy.
Though we may not think twice about it when we're young, maintaining our cellular energy reserves becomes a major challenge as we get older. Our cellular repair mechanisms simply can't protect us from oxidative damage as well as they once did. |

See book keywords and concepts | | They are available in nutritional supplements as:
• highly nutritious, concentrated foods (such as bee pollen);
• powdered concentrates of foods and herbs with the moisture removed (as in barley-juice powder); and
• an isolated component of a food (wheat germ, for example).
Herbs are becoming an increasingly popular natural way to cleanse, nourish, and strengthen the body to maintain good health. Many people take herbs as nutritional supplements for preventive health care, as herbs are oftten a good souce of minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. |
Richard P. Brown, M.D., and Patricia L. Gerbarg, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | In addition, because no one dwells in a stress-free Utopia where life unfolds exactly according to plan, we recommend a regimen of herbal and nutritional supplements that have helped us and our patients maintain a healthy balance between energy expenditure and energy renewal. Our personal and clinical experience has taught us that an integrated approach, including the judicious use of Rhodiola rosea to help enhance the body's energy production, can help us live well and happily as we grapple with unprecedented demands and pressures on our time. |

The supplements that may be beneficial to ALS patients are:
1. Protection against glutamate toxicity
• Methylcobalamin, 20 mg, 2-3 times a day
• SAMe, 600-1800 mg a day (should be taken with folic acid, B12, and B5)

See book keywords and concepts | | Use nutritional supplements to support your body during detoxification from alcohol. Medically supervised intravenous (IV) nutrition of vitamins B and C along with minerals may also be useful.
8. Be sure to include antioxidant nutrients to help with detox—namely, vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc, and selenium.
9. Use specific herbs to cleanse and heal the liver and facilitate detoxification—these include milk thistle (silymarin), dandelion root, and others.
10. Consider acupuncture to treat physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

"I do feel I need these extra supplements," Dorothy says. "I think anyone in this situation would need them."
Dorothy emphasizes organic foods in her diet, eating a lot of fish, vegetables, and occasionally game meats (deer, elk). In her midseventies, Dorothy is physically active—much more so than many other seniors who have not battled cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In summary, many clinical studies indicate that sea vegetables are one of nature's best nutritional supplements. They contain virtually all of the vitamins and minerals that are useful in preventing the formation of free radicals. Additionally, sea vegetables have been used to treat cancer, to lower blood pressure, to thin the blood, and even to prevent ulcers. They are also known for their ability to dissolve fat deposits and eliminate heavy metal contaminants from the body. They are a dietary supplement that should be used by everyone; they are one of nature's wonders! |
Arthur C. Upton, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Yet, there is much disagreement about whether or not nutritional supplements are necessary insurance for good health or will increase your life span.
Vitamin and mineral supplements are regulatory paradoxes: They are classified as food, not drugs, even though they often act as drugs. This means supplement manufacturers do not have to prove that products are safe or that they have medical benefits; they also need not follow the stringent manufacturing practices for pharmaceuticals, which ensure purity and consistency of drugs. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Natural healing sciences (including herbal medicine, homeopathy, diet, nutritional supplements, and acupressure) are sometimes called "complementary" medicine. As that name implies, natural medicine and conventional medicine can be used to complement and support each other in helping to create health. | | WORKING WITH A NUTRITIONAL COUNSELOR
There are many different kinds of professionals, with varied educational backgrounds and philosophies, who can recommend dietary programs and nutritional supplements. Registered dietitians, nutritionists, naturopathic physicians, pharmacists, chiropractors, medical doctors, and nurses—to name only a few—may all practice nutritional medicine. When interviewing a nutritional counselor, whatever the individual's professional credentials, find out about his or her educational background, work experience, and nutritional philosophy. | | The approaches to medicine covered in this book include conventional medicine, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupressure, nutritional supplements, and diet. In Part One you will find historical information, tables, diagrams, and guidelines to help you understand each system of medicine from a conceptual and practical perspective.
Each of the healing systems offers advantages and benefits. Each has drawbacks. This section provides a clear, unbiased look at all protocols. | | When taking nutritional supplements, you should be aware that if a formula appears to be helping support your body, it does not follow that "more is better." Toxic overdoses of vitamins or minerals are rare, but they can occur, especially with products containing iron. Reactions to appropriate doses of vitamin and mineral supplements are likewise rare; however, you should be responsible and careful in taking them. If you develop an upset stomach or any adverse reaction, decrease the dosage or stop taking the supplement.
Follow the storage instructions on product labels. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Proper diet and nutritional supplements can protect us from the harmful effects of lead, cadmium, and mercury. Orthomolecular therapy is therefore both corrective and preventive.
Orthomolecular medicine today is primarily used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, and orthomolecular psychiatrists make up approximately i percent of the 30,000 practicing psychiatrists in America and less than 0.1 percent of psychiatrists in Britain and other European countries. |
Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra
See book keywords and concepts | | Targeted nutritional supplements also support health and help patients prevent many of the most serious health problems women face, such as birth defects, heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. I emphasize that adequate folic acid should be consumed by every woman on the planet. In women of childbearing age, it helps prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida in the fetus. In women of all ages, it helps prevent accelerated cardiovascular aging if high homocysteine levels are found in the blood, and it protects against cervical cancer in both younger and older women. |

However, optimal levels of intake have yet to be defined. On this point Tengerdy says, in the case of vitamin E, that the optimum dose depends on many factors and needs to be determined for each person [215]. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Even though the herbs described here possess blood sugar-lowering effects, proper and effective natural treatment of the diabetic patient requires the careful integration of diet, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle, along with herbal medicine.
Onions (Allium ceva) and garlic (Allium sativum)
Onions and garlic have demonstrated blood sugar lowering action.12 The active principles are believed to be the sulfur-containing compounds allyl propyl disulfide (APDS) and diallyl disulfide oxide (allicin), respectively, although other constituents such as flavonoids may play a role as well. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Many medical doctors are becoming better informed about the effectiveness and safety of medicinal herbs, nutritional supplements, dietary changes, and other natural therapies.
TypES of Herbs
Herbalists have developed a set of categories to describe what herbs do. While you won't see these terms very often in this book, they tend to crop up in health publications, advertisements, and manufacturers' literature as well as on herb product labels. These categories are sometimes called action-types. | | Research and doctors' experience both suggest that some herbs and nutritional supplements can help ease the symptoms.
This illness begins as a flu-like cold that won't completely go away, followed by fatigue that rest won't relieve and tiredness that has nothing to do with overexertion. Other symptoms include sore throat, tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpit, muscle pain, joint pain, headaches, impaired memory and concentration, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Symptoms tend to wax and wane,- just when you think you're getting better and attempt to get your life back, you relapse. |

JEREMY
Jeremy, a forty-eight-year-old philosophy professor, suffered from recurrent muscle spasms in his upper back, high blood pressure, a heart rhythm disturbance, high blood cholesterol, and mild insomnia. His doctor prescribed various muscle relaxers periodically, blood pressure medication twice a day, an antiarrhythmic drug, and sleeping pills. |
Linda B. White, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Many of the drugs and nutritional supplements used to help improve memory do so by increasing levels of acetylcholine in the brain.
It is important to distinguish intermittent forgetfulness from permanent or progressive loss of memory. Everyone is familiar with the "absent-minded professor" character who is so preoccupied with a project that he forgets to put on his socks in the morning. This kind of forgetfulness may be amusing, annoying, or embarrassing, but it's not a cause for medical concern. | | Don't take nutritional supplements on an empty stomach; they can cause nausea. Some prescription drugs also need to be taken with food; check the label carefully.
ž Avoid reading or other activities that cause you to put your head down. Likewise, don't move your head around to converse.
ž Try an acupressure wristband, available in marine and travel stores. These devices use a trigger point in the wrist to calm nausea.
ž Avoid heavy meals with a high fat content, but don't travel on an empty stomach, either. |
