PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID • The colorless or yellowish acid found in vitamin b complex. In an alcohol and water solution plus a little light perfume, it is sold under a wide variety of names as a sunscreen lotion to prevent skin damage. It is also used as a local anesthetic in sunburn products. It is used medicinally to treat arthritis. However, it can cause allergic eczema and a sensitivity to light in susceptible people whose skin may react to sunlight by erupting with a rash, sloughing, and/or swelling.

Chanchal Cabrera, M.N.I.M.H, a clinical herbalist practicing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has found the following to be especially useful for fibromyalgia: • Niacinamide—A form of niacin (vitamin B3), high doses (900-4,000 mg daily in divided doses) of niacinamide are effective in reducing musculoskeletal inflammation, but should only be taken under a physician's supervision.
Biotin, a component of vitamin b complex, works synergistically with insulin and helps in glucose utilization.32 Research has shown that biotin is also beneficial for preventing and managing peripheral neuropathy in diabetics.33 According to Dr. Wright, diabetic neuropathy also responds well to vitamin b12 when it is used in conjunction with topical application of capsicum, a cayenne pepper extract that relieves the pain of neuropathy. Capsicum works by removing substance P, a pain mediator, from the skin. Dr.
Other nutrients that he recommends include evening primrose oil, vitamin b complex, eicosapen-taenoic acid (EPA), and glutamine (an amino acid). "If you had an alcoholic parent, you probably inherited a major deficiency of specific amino acids," according to Billie Jay Sahley, Ph.D., Director of the Pain and Stress Center, in San Antonio, Texas. Roger Williams, at the University of Texas Clayton Foundation for Bio-Medical Research, determined years ago that children of alcoholics have a deficiency of the amino acids GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and glutamine.

Riboflavin is a factor in the vitamin b complex and is used in emollients. Every plant and animal cell contains a minute amount. Good sources are milk, eggs, and organ meats. It is necessary for healthy skin and respiration, protects the eyes from sensitivity to light, and is used for building and maintaining human body tissues. A deficiency leads to lesions at the corner of the mouth and to changes in the cornea. RIBONUCLEIC ACID • RNA. A material found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell, it contains directions for the genetic code of the cell, DNA.

Pantothenic acid, part of the vitamin b complex, has been shown to help prevent and alleviate arthritis. The connection between this nutrient and arthritis was made nearly forty years ago, and researchers are still struggling to come up with a definitive study that shows precisely how it works. But we do know that many people find relief from their symptoms with pantothenic acid. I suggest a supplement of 3 g. daily; you'll have to wait one to two weeks before you see any result. If no results are seen in three weeks, discontinue the supplement. Some physicians recommend up to 12 g.
I suggest you take pantothenic acid daily, along with vitamin b complex. Evening primrose oil is another natural substance that has just recently gotten attention for its powerful antinflammatory action that has proven helpful in fighting bronchial congestion. I suggest that patients take evening primrose oil three times daily. There are two other natural steps you can take.

Like many families, the vitamin b complex maximizes its strengths and minimizes its weaknesses when all members are present and working together. When each member of the B-complex family is present in the proper ratio, you can find the whole gang working harmoniously in every cell of your body. Here are a few of the places where the crew is on the job, twenty-four hours a day: • Enzymatic system. B vitamins help the body's enzymes to release energy from the food you eat and the dietary supplements you take. • Metabolism.

Vitamin B complex: 50 mg. daily. • Vitamin B12: 1,000 meg. daily in tablet form dissolved under the tongue. • Folic acid: 800 meg. daily. IN ADDITION: There's an herb called silymarin, which is actually the common milk thistle, that is reported to be enormously helpful in fighting the effects of cirrhosis of the liver and particularly alcoholic cirrhosis. It is commonly used in Europe and is finally being studied in the United States. Catechine is another botanical that can be helpful. Both are available in health food stores. Discuss these treatments with your doctor.

(See section 163.) My mother has a craving for ice. Not just on hot days, but all the time. She chews cubes as if they were candy. Could this sort of craving have anything to do with a dietary deficiency? If your mother is often tired, her craving for ice might indicate an iron deficiency (which can cause a low-grade anemia).

Lipotropic factors (substances that remove and prevent fatty deposits)—A combination of the lipotropic factors phosphatidyl-choline (lecithin, a neurotransmitter precursor), inositol (component of vitamin b complex), and methionine (an amino acid) can aid in liver function, helping to detoxify the system and correct any excessive fat deposits, which reduce blood circulation and can lead to painful blood clots. Methionine is integral to cartilage so it can improve the strength of joint tissues.The dosage is 1 g of each per day, taken in combination.

How do you know if you are deficient in the vitamin b complex? Some telltale symptoms include skin rash, sores in the mouth, loss of appetite, poor muscle tone, chronic fatigue, depression and other nervous disorders, premature graying of the hair, and lowered resistance to colds and other common infections. Unnoticed symptoms include changes in the chemistry of the blood and the brain.12 A simple way to check your daily vitamin B status, advises Paul Jay Friedman, M.D., of Blodgett Memorial Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Robert E.
The vitamin b complex also occupies the center of a controversy surrounding its use in the treatment of mental illness. But more on that later. Where do the B vitamins work? In the enzymatic system, the metabolic system, the cells, the organs, the nervous system, and the hair, skin, and eyes. And remember, they work as a family. Although single B vitamins are often helpful in treating and preventing certain specific conditions—as we shall see in our discussion of them individually— the B vitamins are most effective when they work in harmony.

B complex (50 milligrams a day), and vitamin C with bioflavonoids (up to 1,000 milligrams three times a day). • To prevent palpitations, take magnesium (up to 800 milligrams a day) to incres.se magnesium stores and intracellular potassium levels. Intravenous magnesium chloride (1 gram) or intramuscular magnesium sulfate (500 to 1,000 milligrams) can work exceptionally well to normalize heart rhythm. (Oral magnesium is usually insufficient for acute treatment.) • Take carnitine (300 to 1,000 milligrams three times a day) to strengthen the heartbeat and normalize rhythm.

B complex. Oral supplements are not usually as effective as internal supplements in reversing dementia symptoms because the necessary levels cannot be absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestines. Of course the dosage and procedure have to be supervised by a qualified medical practitioner. Frequently unnoticed by the general public, the nutrient known as DMAE can augment the body's natural production of energy, enhance the sleeping cycle, and improve memory.
