On other supplements: I try all kinds of things once in awhile, but see no need to discuss them here. Any book store or health food store will have an abundance of literature on spirulina, chlorella, aloe vera, psyllium seeds, lecithin, etc. Exercise and rest Not only is exercise essential to good health, it is the best way to counteract stress. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where there is no practical way to escape pressures and anxieties. Long-term, inescapable stress can cause serious illness, but there is one antidote: the feeling of serenity that follows hard exercise.

On the other hand, we can't overlook the hundreds of tests that have demonstrated the positive effects of vitamin and nutrient supplements. What we can deduce from the study in Finland is that minimal amounts of vitamins and minerals can't compete with the vast damage caused by the cigarettes.

All of the substances which supply concentrated essential fatty acids should be used carefully as supplements, as it is possible to "overdose" on essential fatty acid intake. It is also important to be aware of a competitive relationship between some different types of fatty acids in the body's metabolic processes. For example, the fish oil type competes with the corn oil/primrose fatty acids for the enzymes used to metabolize them. Taking too much of either can produce a relative deficiency of the other.

There are occasional individuals with symptoms of magnesium depletion who do not respond well to magnesium supplements. Either the symptoms of deficiency are not corrected or they actually seem to intensify. These people often benefit from calcium supplementation. It seems paradoxical that taking calcium should have the same effect for some people that taking magnesium has for others. There are elements of balance that are hard to measure or even to understand.

The bigger problem is that institutional food and supplements often contain multiple sources of MSG and other excitotoxins. MSG-induced nerve cell degeneration is well established. Counteracting such effects is difficult. Recent experiments with glutamate blockers for stroke victims appear promising in acute injuries where neurotoxic glutamate is released in the brain. However, this has no current applicability for use in acute MSG reactions.

If we ate only raw, fresh food that has been grown organically in fertile soil, we probably wouldn't need supplements. (Note: Some foods require cooking to make them palatible and assimilable, but a majority of our foods are "cooked to death.") Because of the "instant" age in which we live overprocessed and overcooked foods, unwise food habits, and unreplenished soil deplete the vitamins (and minerals) in the food we eat. 95 In The Complete Book of Vitamins by the Staff of Prevention Magazine we read: "According to Jean Mayer, Ph.D.
Toxic effects include: chest constriction, sweating and flushing of skin. supplements of Vitamin K are usually not available. It is best to get it from food. Natural Sources-fish liver oils, kelp, soybeans and oil, safflower oil, egg yolks, alfalfa, leafy green vegetables, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, yogurt, corn, strawberries, wheat bran and germ, cauliflower, carrots, peas, cow's milk. Main source for humans is from intestinal flora manufacturing it. Herb Sources-Alfalfa, Gotu Kola,Papaya, Safflower, Slippery Elm, Yarrow.

All the victims had been taking supplements of L-tryptophan, an amino acid produced by a fermentation process and used for sleep and sedation. Almost all of the cases were traced back to the manufacturer Showa-Denko, and while the amino acid L-tryptophan may be involved in some way, at present a contaminant is thought to be the primary instigator of the disease condition. Thousands of cases have been reported since its identification, with more than ten deaths attributed to the condition. The latest findings show that the "contaminant" may actually be a dimer—or two joined tryptophan molecules.

If you are eliminating dairy products, for instance, it's important to take calcium supplements," she says. Drink your milk. Unfortunately, some parents still adhere to the old myth that milk and dairy products create mucus in the lungs, says Miller. There is simply no valid reason to deprive children with asthma of these foods, which are so important for building healthy bones, she admonishes. not respond to the usual drugs. Apparently the trick is to get the magnesium into the body fast, say doctors from Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Vitamin B12 is available from food sources such as seafood and green, leafy vegetables. supplements may also be helpful. Finding a doctor who uses folic acid to treat rather than prevent cancer can be difficult. Because methotrexate, an early anti-cancer drug, worked by interfering with folate metabolism, there has been concern among cancer specialists that folic acid could fuel cancer growth. Not so, says Dr. Quillin. In animal studies, folic acid did not increase cancer growth.
Up to 600 international units daily is a safe dose, according to medical experts, although people taking anticoagulants should not take vitamin E supplements. Lowering cholesterol is a key strategy in the fight against heart disease. And although scientists have not yet figured out all of the different ways that nutrients can help, studies indicate that these two vitamins can be of assistance. HIV Aggressive Nutrition Prolongs Life A nutrition specialist based in Chicago is on the phone trying to set up an appointment with someone who needs her expertise.
She suspects that taking zinc supplements may be like feeding HIV a spoonful of fertilizer. "Studies show that the vitus has something called zinc fingers," says Tang. The fingers may actually grab zinc as the vitus replicates itself. If that's true, she adds, giving the body even a milligram more zinc than it needs to carry out basic functions might be counterproductive. "There may be a fine balance between boosting your immune system and not giving the virus too much to wotk with," she concludes.

Vitamin E supplements are sold as both the natural d-alpha and mixed tocopherols and the synthetic d,Z-alpha tocopherols. The latter are not the same as the natural vitamin E, and final determination of effectiveness has not been made. Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin necessary for proper blood clotting, and it too was discovered when certain experimental diets caused hemorrhages in the experimental animals. Vitamin K also is now known to play a role in mamtairting adequate bone density; it helps the bone protein matrix pick up and keep adequate calcium.

At the worst, some alternative health counselors have touted a full array of vitamins, supplements, and so on, in addition to AZT. One book, which presumed to offer an alternative approach to treating "AIDS", recommended taking warm baths to offset the toxicity of AZT; the author had neither the intelligence nor the courage to warn against taking AZT in the first place. If a "PWA" has earned his diagnosis primarily through drug abuse, then all the holistic remedies in the world will not help him if he continues to inject, inhale, smoke, and swallow drugs.

Pure vegetarians are highly susceptible to B12 deficiencies if they do not take supplements, and they need to take great care to ensure they get all the necessary vitamins one way or another. We can also see that many animal foods supply a good variety of vitamins in one single source. Out of the thirteen vitamins, six are supplied in reasonable quantities in eggs alone. Thus, consumption of eggs daily would supply at least half the body's vitamin needs, along with important fats and protein. As we have already seen, eggs do not represent a hazard to your health.

Prescription Medicines, Side Effects and Natural Alternatives

Unlike prescription or over-the-counter medicines, herbs and other food supplements do not have to undergo review for safety or effectiveness before they are marketed. Some "natural" products, like herbs, may have powerful pharmacological effects that could present risks for people who take other medications or who have specific medical conditions. It's not hard to be taken in by a promoter's promises, especially when successful treatments have been elusive.

Today KEM is a trade name for 100% natural pharmaceuticals and supplements; one of the first, and of the few, in the world to stay away completely from synthetic or toxic materials. Dr. Alex Duarte{s book, The Jaws of Life, as well as Dr. William Lane {s book, Sharks Don't Get Cancer, identify shark cartilage as a powerful supplement with an antiangiogenetic activity which is very beneficial in the destruction of many patient's tumors. ESCUARTROL, Kem's shark cartilage, has been used widely by many.

Given these promising findings, it was almost inevitable that supplement makers would begin to manufacture fish-oil supplements. In fact, if you check the shelves of almost any drugstore or health food store, you're likely to find a number of different brands and concentrations. Gaining Respect Nearly every week, it seems, we read about an emerging supplement that's going to reverse aging, help us sleep better, improve our sex lives, or boost our immune systems. How does a supplement move from obscurity to acceptability?
This benign action helps to stop gas before it: starts. The supplements come as drops or tablets, and dosage instructions are right on the bottle. If you get the drops, however, don't add them to foods SUPPLSMSKTSNAPSHOT_ ? Enzymes Individual names: Lactase, alpha-galactosidase, bromelain, papain, pancreatin, and other digestive enzymes. May help: Digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome and indigestion; lupus; and chronic fatigue syndrome. Who's at risk for deficiency: The elderly, people with digestive disorders such as chronic pancreatitis, and those with cystic fibrosis.
Some enzyme supplements contain ox bile, pancreatin, or a mixture of other enzymes. These may help people whose bodies don't produce enough enzymes to digest food properly, such as those with pancreatitis or cystic fibrosis. f e we wf e w Feverfew, a common perennial known to gardeners for its feathery foliage and aromatic blossoms, has been used as a botanical medicine since A.D. 78. The herb earned its name because it was commonly used to lower fever, but today, it's more likely to be used by herbalists as a headache cure.

I agree with the Newsweek reporter who stated that, "Although the supplements did not exercise a positive role in the control study reported last week, they can still have a place in the pantry. Strictly interpreted, the latest findings only show that certain vitamins in particular, in certain specific doses, do not reduce the risk of cigarette smoking in Finnish men. Administered in a different way or over a longer period, the same vitamins could produce a different impact." Undoubtedly, the results of these tests are of concern to us but the doses given were ridiculously low.

In addition to a well-balanced diet, one or more of the following supplements and vitamins may help: Brewer's yeast is a generally good supplement. Start with one-half teaspoon per day, gradually increase to two to three tablespoons per day. Too much yeast at first may cause discomfort due to excessive intestinal gas formation. Vitamin E protects tissues and apparently reduces the oxygen requirement. Take 800 units once a day, starting three days before the expected period.

The Medical Racket

Indeed, most new drugs or supplements put on the market inspire several books on their pros and cons. There are two books which I have found particularly useful. The first is the Merck Manual of Medical Information, Home Edition, 1,509 pages of detailed descriptions and available treatments (including the newest) of virtually every ailment, written by the nation's leading specialists. It is published by Merck and available in most book stores. Or you can write to the Merck Publishing Group, Rahway, New Jersey.

And there are no standard daily required supplements for all individuals. I believe that my electromagnetic mind-field model and Kitkoski's chemical-field model should steer the future direction of nutrition, treatment of diseases, and health practices. The reorganizing of the emotional aspects of the mind-field and the reordering of the biochemical field of the blood, combined with improved life practices and the cleansing of the environment are the only truly holistic approaches that can insure health.

Special instructions: People with B12 deficiencies might not be able to rely on oral supplements and should see a doctor, who may recommend B12 injections as well as other supplementation. Who's at risk for deficiency: People age 60 or older who have a condition that causes low stomach acid, people with problems related to intrinsic factor, people with Crohn's disease, strict vegetarians, and breastfed babies of strict vegetarians. Good food sources: Cooked oysters and clams and all meats. Cautions and possible side effects: Generally regarded as safe.

For what she calls designer supplements, Dr. Kane recommends products from Thorne Research, Scientific Botanicals, PhytoPharmica, Eclectic, Naturopathic Formulations, and Tyler Encapsulations. Some of these companies sell to consumers, but products from others, such as Thorne, are available only through a physician. Dr. Stengler offers the following tips for selecting a supplement. Read the label. Look for any potentially allergenic substances such as Red Dye #4. If the product does not clearly state ingredients and their amounts, do not buy it. Ask for proof.
