 The school hopes to earn $124,150 in equipment, supplements, and commission within five years.10
Schools find themselves in a compromising position when contracts set minimum sales figures and when the school makes a percentage of what is sold. They must then market soft drinks effectively or lose money, leading in some cases to highly questionable, extreme behavior by school officials. |

 And, no, I don't earn a dime from these supplements. You know my policy: no financial involvement with products I recommend. That's quite a contrast from drug companies who will apparently sell you anything as long as they're making money. |

 Use these discounts codes, shown below, to save a bundle when ordering astaxanthin supplements. (They're typically not available in health food stores yet, because the great news about astaxanthin isn't widely known. It's still a bit of a secret in the natural health community.)
What is astaxanthin? I call it "Vitamin X," and it's a supercharged antioxidant derived from microalgae. It's 500 times stronger than Vitamin E and crosses the blood/brain barrier, meaning it offers powerful oxidative protection for the nervous system (eyes, brain, nerve tissues, etc. |

(As a traditionally-trained allergist, I was amazed to find how easily, effectively and inexpensively some homeopathic remedies helped certain illnesses, especially chronic ear and flu infections and sprains or joint injuries. If these remedies, however, do not quickly relieve an infection, antibiotics may need to be prescribed. |

 And if you can't do that, then take cod liver oil supplements or get other sources of vitamin D into your diet immediately. Conventional medicine has universally failed to deliver this urgent message to black Americans.
Other studies show that black women suffer from more aggressive forms of breast cancer. Once again, it's no surprise: chronic vitamin D deficiency directly promotes breast cancer in women. And it is black women, once again, who are lacking vitamin D the most.
This is where the cardiovascular disease study comes into the picture. |

 A number of health-food supplements are available as oils or capsules containing fish liver oils from cod and halibut, which are rich in polyunsaturated fats.
Natural oils that are high in fatty acids and glycerides are also used as components of oral formulations and vehicles for injections of pharmaceuticals. Common oils used in oral preparations include cocoa, olive, almond and coconut oils.
In man, the saturated fats are precursors for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, high serum levels of which are implicated in heart disease through the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in arteries. |

 In this case, the company's self-interested stance not only interfered with finding the cause of the disease but also failed to resolve lingering uncertainties about the safety of the genetic engineering processes used in manufacturing the supplements.
Toxic Proteins: The Pusztai Affair
Next we turn to the possibility that genetic engineering might cause foods to produce toxic substances, in this case, lectins. Lectins are proteins in plants that are naturally toxic to insects and nematode worms. |

 However, none of these volatile oils has been studied for their anti-Candida effect in humans.
Berberine is an alkaloid found in various plants, including goldenseal (page 683), barberry (page 632), Oregon grape (page 721), and goldthread. Berberine exhibits a broad spectrum of antibiotic activity in test-tube, animal, and human studies.23' 24 Berberine has shown effective antidiarrheal activity in a number of diarrheal diseases,25,26'27 and it may offer the same type of relief for the diarrhea (page 163) seen in patients with chronic candidiasis. |
| B3). Cleary concluded that alcoholism might be a manifestation of niacin deficiency in some people and recommended that alcoholics consider supplementation with 500 mg of niacin per day.4 Without specifying the amount of niacin used, Geary's preliminary research findings suggested that niacin supplementation helped wean some alcoholics away from alcohol.5 Activated vitamin B3 used intravenously has also helped alcoholics quit drinking.6 Niacinamide—a safer form of the same vitamin—might have similar actions and has been reported to improve alcohol metabolism in animals. |
| So-called primitive human diets provided greater amounts of this nutrient than is found in modern diets. Most cholesterol researchers using pantethine have given people 300 mg three times per day (total 900 mg).
Are there any side effects or interactions?
No serious side effects have been reported, even at intakes of up to 10,000 mg (10 grams) per day. Very large amounts of pantothenic acid (several grams per day) can cause diarrhea (page 163). |

 This, I think, is one area where I have been relatively vocal in my concern because we know that there is a natural tendency to believe that if a small amount of something is good then if we take more it will be a lot better. With these compounds, let me stress there is a very real potential for deleterious effects. I'm absolutely appalled at some of the industries that are beginning to fortify and package foods and various beverages boasting isoflavone levels in excess of 90 mg and I've even seen 160 mg. It is so artificial and I'm not convinced there is any advantage. . . |

| The term mega is not applied in this manner to mineral or amino acid supplements.
Because the word megadose represents the new paradigm of using vitamins in therapy for diseases or syndromes not considered to be caused by vitamin deficiencies, it has been rejected by members of the old paradigm. The old paradigm insists on using vitamins only for deficiency diseases in very small RDA doses. The RDAs have been used to indicate what every person ought to obtain, though they were never designed for this prescriptive purpose, and do not apply to majority but rather to the mean of the population. |
| Ben's treatment and response to a vitamin in megadoses is a prototype of what can be achieved through diet and nutrient supplements, not only for "ill" children like Ben, but also for "healthy" children. Since then I have diagnosed and treated over 1,500 children under the age of 14 suffering some learning disability, behavioral disorder, or chronic disease with a regimen of a sugar-free natural diet and optimum doses of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. |
| One thought children would be harmed with these very small or moderate doses of supplements.
In a second report, Benton and Cook tested 47 children using a double-blind procedure. After 6 to 8 weeks the children on the nutrients increased their I.Q. by 7.6 points. On placebo the scores decreased 1.7 points. They also found a significant correlation between sugar consumption and improvement in intelligence. The more sugar they consumed the greater was the improvement in intelligence scores. They pointed out that these children were not seriously malnourished. |
| In November 1989 tryptophan supplements were recalled, and a few months later all products containing tryptophan were also recalled.
The Center for Disease Control suggested, however, that the problem was caused by a contaminant. Six companies in Japan made all the tryptophan used in the United States. In October 1990, K. Sakimoto isolated and identified an impurity from tryptophan which, in acid fluid, like in the stomach, broke down into tryptophan and a toxic chemical. Even though tryptophan was thus proven safe and effective, the FDA has still not removed the ban on its use. |

| It took nine months on high doses of supplements for his body to recover completely from the damage caused by the giardia infection.
It was assumed that Bert became infected with giardia while he was in the wilderness, but that may not be so. Tap water can also be a source of contamination. The water treatment process doesn't remove all contaminants and parasites. Single-celled organisms such as Cryptosporidium and giardia are particularly troublesome because they can often slip through water purification treatment unharmed. |
| Caprinex (Nature's Way), Capricin (Professional Specialties), Mycostat (P & D Nutrition), and Caprystatin (Ecological Formulas) are the names of some of the anti-candida supplements available.
It is interesting that people who eat a lot of coconuts live in areas where yeast and fungi are extremely plentiful, yet they are rarely troubled by infections. Only in more temperate climates where processed vegetable oils are the main source of dietary fat are yeast infections, skin fungus, acne, and other skin infections big problems.
PARASITES
There are two general groups of parasites. |
| Dietary supplements and genetically engineered vegetable oils are two ways in which the food and health industry is trying to increase our exposure to lauric acid. By far the best and richest natural sources of lauric acid are coconuts and coconut oil. For instance, 1 tablespoon of dried shredded coconut contains about 2 grams of lauric acid. A tablespoon of pure coconut oil contains 7 grams. |
| You are likely to encounter this term in foods and supplements sold at health stores if you haven't already. Another term you'll see used for MCT oil is "fractionated coconut oil."
As you learned in the last chapter, fatty acids are usually packaged in groups of three. These packages are called triglycerides. Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oils are simply oils composed of 100 percent medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). These fatty acids are derived from coconut or palm kernel oils. |

 Constantine X. below. People eating grain-based diets_____ can easily suffer from mineral depletions (see "The Problem with Grains" on page 126), and so can people on low-carb diets, especially in the introductory phases. Mineral depletions can decrease activity in the energy-production cycles of the body, effectively slowing down your metabolism. You want to make sure you've covered that base right at the beginning.

 At the same time, other supplement companies may, in fact, not really care what they're selling as long as customers keep buying it in the hopes of losing weight. In fact, there are really two camps of counterfeit hoodia sellers in the United States: 1) those who know they're selling fake hoodia but don't care, and 2) those who don't want to know whether their hoodia is fake or genuine, so they don't ask the tough questions of their suppliers. |

| These supplements almost certainly contained offal from sheep infected with scrapie; Great Britain raises far more sheep than cattle, and scrapie is common in British sheep. Later, they surely also contained offal from cows with as yet unrecognized BSE. Veterinarians observed the first case of BSE in a cow in 1984 and confirmed the disease in 1985. During the next few years, the number of BSE cases in cows increased, signaling a growing epidemic. In 1988, an investigating committee deduced that the sheep disease must have jumped to cows. |
