She specifically recommends supplementation with GLA (gamma linolenic acid, a fatty acid found in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and black currant oil) because it stimulates a special kind of fat in the body called brown adipose tissue, or BAT. BAT is metabolically active fat that surrounds vital organs and can actually help burn off calories.
Excess Insulin
Virtually every low-carb diet plan exists precisely because of the theory that too much insulin is the culprit behind weight gain for a huge number of people. |

The use of rbST is referred to as "supplementation," ignoring the FDA admission that rbST is up to "3% different in molecular structure" from endogenous bST, containing up to nine additional amino acids. Substitutions of a single amino acid can profoundly alter a protein molecule's biological activity (4).
3. The claim that cows are not adversely affected by rbST (1,2) is controverted by published evidence on major reproductive losses, chronic mastitis, and other evidence of chronic toxic effects admitted in confidential Monsanto reports (3,4). |

Early supplementation with natural hormones and vitamins that boost GABA and dopamine might diminish the negative impact on the bones, the brain, and the hormones it produces. Male menopause, or andropause, typically begins in men at age forty-five. Male menopause progresses slowly, over thirty years as testosterone supplements are increased. osteopause
Bones begin to weaken after age thirty, which can lead to osteoporosis, especially in women. Hormones, calcium, and other nutrients may help. |
While the hormones listed at right are necessary for a I of us, an acetylcholine nature will naturally use these more rapidly, and herefore require more supplementation. As with prescription medication ;, all issues related to hormone replacement must be resolved in conjunctii *n with a medical doctor. Specific conditions, and the acetylcholine hormc nes related to them, include:
While Nancy's conditions did not require medications, they definitely called for hormones. She was given 18 mg. of natural growth hormone per month to address her memory, her metabolism, her muscles, and her bones. |
While the hormones listed below are necessary to enhance any nature, a dopamine nature will notice more readily when they require supplementation. Human growth hormone (HGH) is available in injectable form and is very expensive. A less expensive alternative is to augment existing HGH with amino acid products such as creatine and arginine. All of the following natural hormones help increase voltage and provide energy to the brain. They also have other specific functions. |

Always ensure adequate copper intake during zinc supplementation because zinc and copper compete for absorption in the gut. Excessive zinc supplementation will deplete copper levels, so these minerals should be taken together, usually in a ratio of about 10 to 15 parts zinc to 1 part copper.
• The best forms include zinc sulfate hepahydrate, zinc mono-methionine, and zinc picolinate; zinc aspartate, orotate, and citrate are also effective.
• Take zinc at least two hours before or after eating a lot of fiber; fiber interferes with zinc's absorption. |

Again, we strongly assert that high-potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplementation is an absolute must in the management of diabetes. Supplying the diabetic with additional key nutrients improves blood sugar control and reduces the development of the major long-term complications of diabetes. Follow the guidelines given in Appendix H, pages 325?27, to ensure optimal intake of micronutrients.

Serotonin is made from tryptophan, and tryptophan supplementation frequentiy decreases sugar craving. High-protein diets, featuring a high tryptophan to carbohydrate ratio, also reduce sugar cravings.
Sugar cravings can lead to type 2 diabetes, a metabolic disorder that causes a chronically elevated blood sugar level. Unlike type 1 diabetes, which is an insulin-dependent condition occurring most commonly in children, type 2 diabetes is linked to increased intake of sugar and simple carbohydrates and obesity. |
My clinical experience with thousands of women, as well as other clinical studies, has consistently shown that careful monitoring and supplementation of both male and female hormones when treating menopause symptoms achieves the most effective and longest-lasting results. Additional benefits of PET replacement therapy, particularly important in Nancy's case, include memory improvement from the estrogen, increased bone density from the progesterone, and improved vigor from the testosterone. |

Nutritional Supplements
Potassium
At least 19 studies have examined the effect of potassium supplementation on blood pressure. An analysis of the combined results (called a metaanalysis) showed that supplementing with potassium significantly reduced both systolic (the higher number) and diastolic (the lower number) blood pressure.10
The best way to obtain potassium is by eating abundant amounts of fruits and vegetables. One would need to take a large handful of over-the-counter potassium tablets in order to supply the amount of potassium found in a high-potassium diet. |

Fortunately, supplementation with these nutrients reduces the levels of homocysteine back to normal, and also reduces the risk of heart disease.
Nutrients with antioxidant properties also appear to play an important role in preventing and treating many cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and high blood pressure. Other nutrients, such as minerals, amino acids/MSM-sulfur, and essential fatty acids, are also of great value in optimizing cardiovascular health. |

If the sperm count is less than 20 million per milliliter, arginine supplementation is less likely to be of benefit.
In order to be effective for increased fertility, it appears that the dosage of l-arginine should be at least 4 grams a day for three months. In perhaps the most favorable study, 74 percent of 178 men with low sperm counts had significant improvements in sperm counts and motility. |

Today the March of Dimes, known for its antipolio campaign of the 1950s, has become a leading advocate of folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy.
Down Syndrome
Although the role of poor maternal nutrition in the development of Down syndrome has not been delineated, research on other types of birth defects points to its being a critical factor. In addition, the risk of delivering an infant with Down syndrome increases with a woman's age, suggesting that age-related deterioration of a woman's eggs (and the DNA in those eggs) plays a role. |
More than half of them did not consume enough folic acid from food, and despite daily supplementation of 1,000 meg of folic acid daily, 15 percent continued to have low blood levels of the vitamin. Although most of the subjects had normal blood levels of vitamin B12, both B12 and folic acid levels declined with the subjects' age. Such findings suggest that people with sickle-cell anemia need considerable folic acid.

Epstein weaves into his attack the issue of growth hormone in transgenic animals which is totally unrelated to somatotropin supplementation in dairy cows. This statement only serves to illustrate Dr. Epstein's lack of understanding of the two very separate issues involved in these diverse areas of research.
Negative Energy Balance
Dr. Epstein's concern with negative energy balance is totally unsubstantiated. All dairy cows are in negative energy balance in early lactation. This phenomenon stimulates increased feed intake to maintain the persistency of lactation. |
This implies that BST supplementation alters milk quality when, in fact, the milk is indistinguishable from milk from untreated cows.
We have reviewed the Epstein paper section by section, using the organization established by Dr. Epstein, in an attempt to clarify many of the gross misunderstandings published in this widely distributed work.

Furthermore, industry assay data are poorly interpretable as they do not distinguish exogenous rBGHs from endogenous BGH, which by implication are equated, particularly by misleading reference to rBGH as "bST supplementation" (5). FDA, however, now admits that bacterial rBGHs are up to "3% different in molecular structure" from endogenous natural sequence BGH (15), involving up to 9 additional amino acids; contrary to "industry" claims that rBGH is "highly pure" (5), it is contaminated by up to 10% bacterial proteins (16). |

Rather than being used as a tool of genetic discrimination, testing, diet, and supplementation can be a way to reduce long-term medical costs.
If there is to be a more rational approach to our future health care, it may be along these lines: Your physician would test you for various genetic predispositions, as well as for levels of vitamins and other nutrients involved in gene and overall cell function. She would make dietary recommendations, such as eating more fish and vegetables, avoiding french fries and soft drinks, and exercising more. |
In fact, some cases of dementia may be caused by nothing more than a deficiency of vitamin B12, which is easily corrected through supplementation.
