At a Whole Life Expo in Pasadena, California in March of 1993,1 met a retired insurance executive named Sam Johnson. He was one of many who packed the small lecture hall intended for 100 but somehow managing to accommodate almost double that number.
In my discussion of "Food Cures for the Nineties," I mentioned an episode from my childhood with an old junk peddler named Ray Ivie. My father and I used to go to many of the same rummage sales that he went to. |

Strengthen your bones with calcium, your heart with coenzyme Q10, and your cell membranes with essential fatty acids. Improve your circulation with Ginkgo biloba. Not only does your body's production of these important nutrients decline with age, your requirements for them increase.
Nutritional supplementation is good for kids (I give my young children vitamins and minerals every day). It is important for young adults. But it is absolutely vital for anyone over fifty. |
John Heinerman
See book keywords and concepts |  There are also trace amounts of some b-complex vitamins, vitamin E, and magnesium.
The folks on Avery Island at the southern tip of Louisiana, who manufacture the sauce named after the tabasco pepper, stated that the research they've done on it indicates high yields of vitamins A, C, and P, and minerals like copper, phosphorus, potassium, and sulphur, while only moderate amounts of vitamins B-complex and E, and calcium, magnesium, iron, and sodium appear. |

See book keywords and concepts | | I placed Sally on a nutritional supplement program consisting of high doses of antioxidants with extra vitamin E, b-complex vitamins, essential fatty acids, and other nutrients that target the brain. I also gave her a vitamin B12 injection and continued giving her twice-a-week injections for the next month.
When Sally and her daughter returned a month later, I looked into the eyes of a different woman. She was alert, smiling, and made pleasant small talk. Her daughter said that her mother's mood and memory were so much improved that they were no longer considering a nursing home. |
Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  When calorie intake is below 2,000 calories, choose a well-balanced, moderate-dose vitamin and mineral supplement that contains 100 percent of the Daily Value for magnesium, zinc, iron, and the b-complex vitamins, and no more than 400 IU of vitamin E.
• Vitamin B6 supplementation (50 to 150 mg/day) started on day ten of the menstrual cycle and continued through day three of the next cycle has produced positive results in some women.
• Include physical activity in the daily routine. (Active women are less prone to severe PMS symptoms.)
• Consult a physician if symptoms intensify or persist. |
Lendon H. Smith, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Since all the b-complex vitamins are necessary for digestion and intestinal enzyme function, why not try the B-complex? Oral ingestion of these vitamins was insufficient to ignite the enzyme fires; the supplements passed right on out in the stools. However, the intramuscularly injected vitamins transported via the circulation to the intestines revived and activated the "exhausted" digestive enzymes. Like jump-starting the car. | | Use whole foods, B12, iron fumarate, may need all the b-complex vitamins, A, C, E, copper, zinc. Check for low stomach acid. Herbal remedies: Nettles, red clover, yellow dock, burdock.
ANOREXIA NERVOSA
Allopathic control: Hospitalization and psychiatric treatment.
Natural control: Eliminate stress, add zinc and essential fatty acids. Herbs: Chamomile, gentian root, ginger.
ARTHRITIS
Allopathic control: Aspirin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (usually have side effects).
Natural control: Chinese herbs, VEGA testing for food allergies, stool exam for ova and parasites. |
Dr. Joseph M. Kadans, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It is readily available from the foods that ordinarily have the b-complex vitamins, and such foods as rice polish, rice bran and wheat germ are especially valuable for this vitamin. It is also found in yeast, liver and kidneys.
Proteins comprise amino acids, of which there are approximately twenty-two in number. Some of the amino acids can be manufactured by the body itself, but certain amino acids must be present in the diet. These are called essential amino acids, as follows:
5. Methionine
Some foods may contain some of these essential amino acids but others may be lacking. | | Calories: 332
Reported health benefits: Wheat is an excellent source of the b-complex vitamins, and so it is a valuable addition to the diet. Besides the health properties derived from the B vitamins, it also is recommended in cases of arthritis, rheumatic fever, and perhaps in some types of cancer.
Preparation: Whole wheat flour is the perfect baking flour. Containing all the nutrients of the wheat, it is not only very healthful, but also adds delicious flavor to bread, pancakes, pastry, and all baked goods. | | ACORN
Botanical information: The fruit of the oak tree (Quercus) Nutritive values: Although the exact amounts of the various nutrients are not available, the acorn is reported to be rich in Vitamin A, the b-complex vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and tannin.
Reported health benefits: The high oil and starch content of the acorn makes it very nutritious and is reported to be easily digested. It is also recommended for the skin, eyes and nerves. The tannin content helps to combat chronic diarrhea. |
Larry Trivieri, Jr.
See book keywords and concepts |  His nutritional program includes supplements of multivitamins and minerals, particularly b-complex vitamins and vitamins A, C, and E, as well as calcium and trace elements. He finds these deficient in most people. Dr. Kail also strongly encourages his patients to use stress-reduction techniques and plenty of exercise in conjunction with his nutritional program.
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is one stress-related disorder that can be directly addressed by diet. Harvey Ross, M. | | D, former President of the American Holistic Medical Association, has found that cases of congestive heart failure respond well to an intravenous injection of a "cocktail" composed of magnesium chloride hexahydrate, hydroxocobalamin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, dexpanthenol, b-complex vitamins, and vitamin C. (This is a modification of the nutrient cocktail popularized by John Meyers, M.D.)

NUTRIENTS FOR CONTROLLING BLOOD SUGAR
Certain nutrients are required by the body for glucose metabolism, specifically chromium, zinc, b-complex vitamins (particularly pantothenic acid or B5), and vitamin C. | | He recommends moderate amounts offish and lean meats as sources of protein, along with unsaturated fats and supplementation with vitamins C and E, b-complex vitamins, magnesium, chromium, and zinc. He also suggests small, frequent meals. A daily diet of three small meals, plus mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and bedtime snacks, is the ideal, according to Dr. Wright.
He cites the case of a 47-year-old man who had recendy been diagnosed with diabetes. | | The b-complex vitamins and magnesium are examples of energy nutrients," says Dr. Bland. "They activate specific metabolic facilitators called enzymes, which control digestion and the absorption and use of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. These nutrients often work as a team, their mutual presence enhancing the other's function." In the process of converting food to energy, free radicals are produced that can damage the body and set the stage for degenerative diseases, including arthritis, heart disease, and certain forms of cancer, as well as premature aging. | | Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin A, vitamin C, b-complex vitamins, and the essential minerals calcium, magnesium, and iron.1 A separate study found that most typical diets contained less than 80% of the RDA for calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese, and that the people most at risk were young children and women (adolescent to elderly).2The chart later in this chapter indicates the adult RDA standards for vitamins and minerals, as well as adult maintenance and therapeutic ranges recommended by many nutritional experts.

Zinc is found in abundance in fish, meats, poultry, and whole grains. Alcohol consumption, diuretics, excess calcium, diarrhea, or eating disorders may lower zinc levels.
Research has shown that a deficiency in zinc may be related to excess fat storage and may contribute to weight gain. |
Earl Mindell and Hester Mundis
See book keywords and concepts |  Honey has more fructose than glucose and contains small quantities of minerals, as well as traces of b-complex vitamins and vitamins C, D, and E.
?Because honey is almost twice as sweet as cane or beet sugars, less of it is needed to achieve the same sweetness.
?Some manufacturers will add sugar syrup to their honey because it's cheaper and lightens the honey's color and flavor. (Be suspicious of inexpensive brands that are unusually thin when poured.)
? | | Brown rice can be cream colored, even red, but it is still the grain highest in b-complex vitamins.)
?Barley (usually available as "pearl barley") has most of its vitamins and minerals removed during milling. (This grain makes up for its nutrient deficiencies by being extremely easy to digest and adding healthy complex carbohydrate, when mixed in soups and pilafs, to the diets of sick or elderly individuals. | | ABOUT YEAST
Yeast is an excellent source of protein, a superior source of the natural b-complex vitamins (with the exception of B12, which is bred only into fortified nutritional yeast), organic iron, trace minerals, and amino acids. But like other protein foods, yeast is high in phosphorus, which means that to reap its benefits without jeopardizing your health you should be adding extra calcium to your diet. Too much phosphorus, in case you have forgotten, can take calcium out of the body. | | If you eat a lot of protein, be sure your diet includes a substantial amount of b-complex vitamins. (Surprisingly, even B12, which is ample in high-protein foods, is also necessary because it works synergistically with the other B vitamins.)
If you drink alcohol regularly, be sure that you're getting substantial amounts of vitamin B12 in your diet.
If you eat out a lot, you need to add more calcium to your diet.
If you have an ulcer, keep away from papaya and raw pineapple, and don't use papain as a food tenderizer.
Excessive zinc intake can result in iron and copper losses. | | Chocolate, cocoa, and all caffeine-containing beverages (see section 61) can inhibit the proper assimilation of calcium and deplete the body of b-complex vitamins and zinc.
?Alcohol from wine, beer, spirits, or cough syrups can rob the body of vitamins B^ and B2, choline, niacin, folic acid, and magnesium.

Some therapies that have proven helpful in relieving temporomandibular joint dysfunction in studies are acupuncture; biofeedback in combination with intraoral appliances; progressive relaxation training; and isokinetic exercise. | | B complex. b-complex vitamins are important throughout life, but there is an extra need for these during menopause. They can be obtained from whole grains, and green vegetables. B5 and B6 are especially helpful during menopause (300-400 mg B5, 150 mg B6 per day). Folic acid, in prescription doses, is a valuable replacement for female hormones, according to Dr. Carlton Fredericks.
Essential fatty acids. EFAs, which are precursors to the natural hormones in the body, are very important for both men and women. People on low-fat diets should pay special attention to this. |

He was advised to avoid refined sugars, gluten grains, meat, and junk food.
Three weeks later, Bernard had decreased his prednisone dose gradually, with no recurring episodes of colitis. | | Nutrient deficiencies associated with high cholesterol include vitamin C, the b-complex vitamins (especially B6 and B3), and certain minerals, such as chromium, zinc, and magnesium. Note that taking supplements while continuing to eat a junk-food diet will not address these nutritional deficiencies. A junk-food diet leaves you enzyme-deficient; without enzymes (as are found in whole foods), vitamin and mineral supplemerits cannot be utilized by the body and are therefore wasted. | | Key Nutrient Sources for Controlling Diabetes
Certain nutrients are required by the body for the metabolism of glucose, specifically chromium, manganese, zinc, b-complex vitamins (particularly pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5), inositol, and vitamin C The following are dietary sources of these nutrients (food sources for each are listed in descending order of importance).
? | | Glucose, formed in the body from the digestion of sugars, protein, and carbohydrates plus the b-complex vitamins, is a major requirement of brain nutrition. There are three primary factors that prevent glucose from arriving in the brain. First, the body is unable to digest sugar. Second, the body cannot adequately digest protein (46% of digested protein is eventually converted to sugar). Third, there is a deficiency of B vitamins, which are required to transport sugar into the brain. | | Homocysteine increases oxysterol formation inside the body, particularly in the absence of adequate b-complex vitamins. A well-nourished body contains enough B complex—notably B6, folic acid, riboflavin (B2), and cobalamin (B12)—to convert homocysteine either to a nontoxic product (cystathionine) or back to methionine.
Thus, B complex is essential in the prevention of oxysterol proliferation. Junk-food eaters, smokers, alcoholics, and women taking birth control pills are all likely to have decreased B6 levels in the blood and, therefore, increased cardiovascular risk. |
