Consider atherosclerosis: Conventional medicine gives various kinds of surgery and drugs, costing $30 billion annually. Alternative approaches, including nutrition and chelation, would save taxpayers about $9 billion. Regarding chronic ear infections, the combined cost of office visits, antibiotics, and ear tubes for about 100,000 children is $650 million. | | Natural medicine, including dietary supplements, herbs, enzymes, acupuncture, and other alternative treatments, which may once have been considered on the "fringe" of health care, is now "reaching the mainstream," reported The New York Times. Yet on the Op-Ed page of that same issue, a physicist and biologist railed against this project (which, incidentally, would put alternative treatments within reach of low-income people), claiming it was tantamount to "buying snake oil with tax dollars. | | Sales of Nutritional supplements Up 19%—Medicinal Self-Care Emphasis Strong," Issue 27, (December 1998/January 1999): 106.

Some products carry "cocktails" of bacteria that should not be together in a container and are only minutely a part of the total flora picture, such as Bacillus laterosporus and Streptococcus faecium, which should be avoided. Even cocktails of the best friendly bacteria should not be kept in the same container since they are destined to inhabit different regions of the digestive tract. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Medication, surgery, rituals, supplements and foods only facilitate the healing process. The best description of healing refers to the activation of the body's energies toward dynamic equilibrium, growth and evolution.
Perhaps the best measure of health is an organism which is constantly self-healing. Here, healing implies an elimination of the disturbance and maintenance of the body's integrity. Whether conventional or other methods are used, in order to heal, the person must actively "will" to recover. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Before you surrender to the necessity of using separate supplements to bring up the intake of choline, inositol, and Vitamin B6, read the B Complex labels carefully. You may find brands where doubling the recommended dose—say, of one tablet daily—will provide the requisite amount of these factors, without raising the levels of the others to astronomical (though harmless) and expensive amounts.
Your next quest is a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement, some of which are available in a dosage of a single tablet daily. | | To add to the problem of supplements limited in Vitamin A potency, the public— via the low-cholesterol diet—has been encouraged to abstain from foods rich in the vitamin, such as liver, cream, eggs, and butter. The high value of Vitamin A in foods like parsley, spinach, and watercress is an illusion. These foods do not contain the vitamin, but supply a precursor which the body converts into the vitamin. Some people are inefficient in that conversion, while diabetics fail in it almost completely. |

Even if your child is consuming a great diet, I believe it is critical to augment his diet with a carefully selected vitamin and mineral supplement. Check your local health food store for the best quality. |
Michael Castleman
See book keywords and concepts |  Time was when you could find certain supplements only in health food stores. These days, even supermarkets carry a mind-boggling array of brands and doses from which to choose. And many consumers have been left to wonder, "What should I take? And how much?"
The "how much" part is a matter of considerable controversy. To understand the debate, you need to know a little bit of nutrition history.
In 1943, the National Academy of Sciences Food and Nutrition Board established the first guidelines for nutrient intakes. | | Vitamin and Mineral Supplements:
Crucial Nutritional Extras
Everyone knows what vitamins and minerals are: They're in those little pills that you take with your morning orange juice. But what are they, really?
Vitamins and minerals are organic compounds that your body needs to function properly and stay healthy. Unlike foods, vitamins and minerals do not provide calories and energy. But they do play key roles in regulating metabolism and many other biochemical reactions. | | Likewise, people with certain health problems may require additional supplements, as may competitive athletes and women who are pregnant or menopausal. When in doubt, consult a nutrition professional. (For help in finding one, refer to How to Find What You Need on page 668.)
Get vitamin A as beta-carotene. Large doses of vitamin A can cause fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and blurred vision. But as Somer notes, you really don't need to take supplemental vitamin A. Instead, take beta-carotene, which your body converts to A on an as-needed basis.
Avoid unnecessary extras. | | But by themselves, supplements won't turn your life around," Somer explains. "They work with good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. They're valuable, but they won't make all your dreams come true."
Elimination Diet:
Pinpoint the Source of Symptoms
When nutrition researcher Jeffrey S. Bland, Ph.D., needed volunteers to follow an elimination diet—that is, to avoid certain foods with the goal of improving health—he found 106 willing participants in the Seattle area. The group consisted of 92 women and 14 men, ranging in age from 28 to 55. | | In fact, "natural" supplements often contain just a tiny amount of natural nutrient combined with a large amount of synthetic nutrient. So what are the exceptions?
ž Calcium: Some natural sources of calcium, such as bonemeal and dolomite, may be contaminated with lead. A laboratory creation called calcium carbonate is the way to go. It's found in Turns 500 chewables and Children's My-lanta liquid and chewables.
ž Folic acid: Synthetic is better absorbed than natural.
ž Vitamin E: The natural form (d-alpha-tocopherol) is better absorbed than the synthetic form (dl-alpha-tocopherol). | | They're called supplements for a reason: They're intended to support a nutritious diet, not replace it. They can't undo the damage caused by poor eating habits.
Fruits and vegetables supply an abundance of disease-fighting nutrients. Yet only 20 percent of Americans consume even five servings of produce a day the recommended minimum. "Fill your shopping cart with fruits and vegetables—and eat them," advises Elizabeth Somer, R.D., author of Age-Prooj Your Body. "Then if you want a little extra nutritional insurance, take a supplement."
Invest in an insurance formula. |
Carlton Fredericks, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | The amount of folic acid provided by the recommended menus and supplements should cancel this effect, since folic acid helps to block abnormal synthesis of uric acid.
4. Allergic reactions to vitamins or minerals can occur, as they occur to brewer's yeast or to any other food. Such reactions are difficult to trace, for one can be sensitive to the excipient used in a tablet, rather than to the vitamins it contains; or to a remaining trace of a solvent used in concentrating the nutrients. Rereading Chapter 7 may be useful for readers with allergies. |
Gayle Reichler, M.S., R.D., C.D.N.
See book keywords and concepts | | Also, if you are pregnant or breast-feeding:
» Check your vitamin supplements with your physician. * Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Concerns That Alter Types of Foods and How You Eat
Digestive Problems: If you have any of the following digestive difficulties—hietal hernia, ulcers, diverticulitis, irritable colon—it is important to eat small meals and eat more often. If you have flareups of your symptoms, contact your physician.
Hypoglycemia: If your blood sugar drops after a meal, do not eat sugary foods or refined carbohydrates, such as white bread, pasta, pizza dough, fruit juice, or sweets. |
