The nutritional properties of goldenseal help the body fight infections both internally and externally. Much of its value is due to the tonic effects it has on the mucous membranes of the body.
Medicinal uses—
• Because of its cleansing effect on mucous membranes, this herb is helpful in all digestive problems, from peptic ulcers to colitis. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Fresh beans have ample vitamin A, b-complex vitamins, and calcium and potassium.
Use When beans are green and immature, they are easier to digest than dried beans. Heirloom varieties have strings, which must be removed prior to cooking. It's a time-consuming process; on the other hand, many old varieties have more flavor than modern cultivars.
Compared to most other vegetables, once harvested green beans age quickly, so plan to use them quickly. | | In addition, buckwheat has up to 100 percent more calcium than other grains, is rich in vitamin E, and contains almost the entire range of b-complex vitamins.
Use Buckwheat groats have a soft texture and, if roasted, a strong, robust flavor. Use
HOW A HORSE GETS SUNBURNED
A light-colored horse or cow grazing in a buckwheat field on a sunny day may become sunburned and suffer temporary hair loss. Buckwheat inhibits our tanning element, melanin, and judging from farmers' stories about sunburned livestock, apparently inhibits a horse's as well. |
Mark Stengler, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It's sometimes referred to as Nature's Superfood because it includes a wide spectrum of nutrients, from vitamins A and C to the b-complex vitamins and amino acids. Among the other nutrients are carotenoids, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, potassium, and flavonoids such as rutin and quercitin— all of which are believed to give bee pollen a large part of its anti-allergy effect. In addition, it contains those hard-to-get trace minerals such as silicon, molybdenum, boron, and sulfur. | | Other nutrients found in dandelion include the b-complex vitamins as well as vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, and calcium. Choline, a relative of the B-vita-min family is also found in relatively high amounts in dandelion. This nutrient is important for preventing and treating a fatty liver, and it also serves as an aid in bile production.
The chemical constituents of dandelion lend additional healing properties. One of the more important chemicals, taraxacin, which has a bitter taste, is thought to stimulate the digestive organs. |
Earl Mindell
See book keywords and concepts |  Other research has shown that the majority of the mentally and emotionally ill are deficient in one or more of the b-complex vitamins or vitamin C. And even normal, happy people have been found to become depressed and experience other symptoms of emotional disturbance when made niacin or folic-acid deficient.
Vitamin Bl (thiamine)
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
280. Nutrients That Combat Depression, Anxiety, and Stress
Above-average amounts can help alleviate depression and anxiety attacks.
Aids in the proper production of natural antidepressants such as dopamine and norepinephrine. | | Yeast is an excellent source of protein and a superior source of the natural b-complex vitamins. It is one of the richest sources of organic iron and a gold mine of minerals, trace minerals, and amino acids. It has been known to help lower cholesterol (when combined with lecithin), help reverse gout, and ease the aches and pains of neuritis. | | Zinc is also available in combination with vitamin C, magnesium, and the b-complex vitamins.
Zinc lozenges, for colds, must dissolve in your mouth— otherwise they are ineffective.
Toxicity and Warning Signs of Excess:
Excessive intake can cause gastrointestinal irritation, impaired immune function, and copper deficiency. Doses of 1,000 mg. or more can produce toxic effects. (See section 334, "Cautions.")
Enemies:
Phytates, compounds found in grains and legumes, bind with zinc so that it cannot be absorbed. (See section 293. | | Works with b-complex vitamins for basic body metabolism, and is part of tissue-building amino acids.
Aids the liver in bile secretion.
No RDI/RDA has been set, but a diet sufficient in protein will generally be sufficient in sulfur.
What It Can Do For You:
Tone up skin and make hair more lustrous. Help fight bacterial infections.
Deficiency Disease: None known.
Best Natural Sources:
Lean beef, dried beans, fish, eggs, cabbage, kale, garlic, brussels sprouts.
Supplements:
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), an organic sulfur, in 1,000 mg. | | Like most of the b-complex vitamins, it is most effective when in a well-balanced formula with the others.
100-300 mg. are the most common daily doses.
Toxicity and Warning Signs of Excess: No known toxic effects.
Possible symptoms of minor excess include itching, numbness, sensations of burning or prickling. (See section 334, "Cautions.")
Enemies:
Light—especially ultraviolet light—and alkalies are destructive to riboflavin. (Opaque milk cartons now protect riboflavin that used to be destroyed in clear-glass milk bottles. | | Like all the b-complex vitamins, any excess is excreted and not stored in the body. It must be replaced daily.
Measured in milligrams (mg.).
Being synergistic, B vitamins are more potent together than when used separately. Bl, B2, and B6 should be equally balanced (i.e., 50 mg. of Bl, 50 mg. of B2, and 50 mg. of B6) to work effectively.
The RDI/RDA for adults is 1.0 to 1.5 mg. (During pregnancy and lactation 1.5 to 1.6 mg. is suggested.)
Need increases during illness, stress, and surgery. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Interactions—
• b-complex vitamins. Because your body requires folic acid to be able to absorb the other members of the B-complex group (especially vitamin B5), deficiency of folic acid can create deficiencies of others in the complex.
• Alcohol. If you abuse alcohol, you need extra folic acid, because alcohol in the intestine decreases intestinal absorption of this vitamin and a liver damaged by alcohol can't metabolize and use the vitamin as well. | | Intake and absorption of the other b-complex vitamins (espe cially riboflavin, thiamine, and pyridoxine— B2, B3, and B6) are im portant to normal bowel health and function. Recommendation Take 100 mg of B-complex once or twice daily. Increase the dose tc 3 times daily during flares.
• Vitamin Bl2 sometimes absorbs poorly by mouth, and that is especially true when your intestine is inflamed and not functioning normally. You can bypass the need to absorb the vitamin in the intestine by taking it in shot form. |
