 The regimen starts with exercise, then sauna, then massage, all of which is preceded by patients being given vitamin C, amino acids, and other supplements, including niacin, which dilates their blood vessels. Then it's onto the treadmills, ideally for twenty to thirty minutes, then, once they've started to work up a good sweat, into the saunas to finish the job. After that, a shower and a massage. The massage is supposed to further work out toxins from fatty tissues and into the bloodstream and gut, where they can be expelled. And then to the next go round, and the next. |
| All of it — the surgery, the immune boosters, the rotation diets, the vitamin and mineral supplementation, the immunotherapy shots, the avoidance — all of it is aimed at one overriding goal: to help patients better handle the stress visited upon them by the environment.
"Think of a patient as a rain barrel," says Ross. "The water in the barrel is the total load of environmental pollutants that the body must cope with. Then along comes some other source of stress. But the barrel can't hold it, and it pours out. The overflow represents a health problem. |

 These include incorporation of high doses of vitamin C in drug formulations, and the use of encapsulated time-release formulations, from which the active amine-contain-ing ingredient will be released in the small intestine rather than in the stomach. At best, these can only reduce nitrosamine yields, but not prevent nitrosation. The ideal solution would be the development of new classes of drugs containing no amines for use in all except life-threatening or terminal diseases. The ingenuity of the pharmaceutical industry can surely meet this challenge. |

Food is the most important single source of exposure to a very wide range of synthetic chemicals, either as direct additives or as accidental contaminants such as pesticides and industrial chemicals. Many of these are carcinogens, and food and beverages containing them or suspected to contain them should be avoided to the greatest possible extent. |

 But popping a vitamin tablet alone isn't the answer.

 The Importance of Quality, Testing, and Good Manufacturing Practices
When we choose something for health purposes, whether it is a drug, a vitamin, or an herbal product, we want three things: safety, effectiveness, and quality. These are like a three-legged stool that supports the value and validity of any product. Quality is the key to ensuring safety and effectiveness, and it is quality that will separate the successful companies from the failures in this competitive market. |
| In combination with vitamin E, it can prevent cataracts;3 it can also prevent retinopathies (diseases of the retina), including diabetic retinopathy,4 and possibly even ordinary nearsightedness (myopia).5 Bilberry's ability to strengthen capillary circulation helps those who bruise easily, and bilberry extracts are even used before elective surgery to minimize bruising and excessive bleeding.3 Increasing capillary strength also helps in treating spider veins, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids.6
History
Bilberry has been recognized for its medicinal effects since the Middle Ages. |

 He was also the discoverer of vitamin B15 (pangamic acid), which has proven to be an important adjunctive therapy in the treatment of many illnesses related to impaired circulation.
Early in his student work, Dr. Krebs became familiar with the trophoblast thesis of cancer advanced by Professor John Beard. Working within the context of this theory, and encouraged by Dr. Charles Gurchot, a professor of pharmacology at the University of California Medical School, he began a search for the nutritional factor hinted at by Beard. |

| From all continents and all races, the one thing they have in common is that the degree to which they are free from cancer is in direct proportion to the amount of nitriloside or vitamin B17 found in their natural diet.
In answer to this, the skeptic may argue that these primitive groups are not exposed to the same cancer-producing elements that modern man is, and perhaps that is the reason they are immune. Let them breathe the same smog-filled air, smoke the same cigarettes, swallow the same chemicals added to their food or water, use the same soaps or deodorants, and then see how they fare. |

| Even though niacin is technically a vitamin (B3), I do not approve of its use unless recommended by a physician. Most people can lower cholesterol and triglycerides by using the Permanent Remissions Plan and the phytonutrients and other nutrients discussed in this chapter without the use of niacin or cholesterol-lowering drugs (all of which are associated with toxic side effects). Daily doses of more than 100 milligrams of niacin have been associated with toxic side effects. |

 Food and Agriculture Organization (Knight-Ridder Tribune, 10/27/96): 200 million children are malnourished; 11 million children under age five die as a result of hunger and malnutrition; and millions more have diseases related to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, bad food, and water.
The 1996 UNICEF report, "The State of the World's Children," changed the focus from the impact of poverty to that of war. In the past ten years, the report says, wars have left two million children dead, four million to five million disabled, and 12 million homeless. |

 Some nutritional supplements may be necessary besides the daily allotment of fresh juices or warm vegetable broth. vitamin C in liquid form is helpful for rebuilding the immune system and increasing resistance to viral infection. I suggest 1,000 mg. daily, divided into four increments of 250 mg. each. This can be added to the dog's juice, broth, or drinking water.
In cases of extreme conjunctivitis, special attention needs to be paid to the eyes and eyelids of an animal with distemper. |

 But they are also rich in vitamin K, which is involved in blood clotting. So if you're taking a blood-thinning medication such as Coumadin (warfarin), eat consistent amounts of these foods (the same amount all the time). Eating more—or a lot less—than usual can alter the effects of these drugs and promote abnormal clotting.

| First, the vegetable oil it's packed in tends to rob the feline of vitamin E. Second, tuna ranks high on the list for mercury content. (A favorite joke of mine through the years has been that with so much mercury in a can of tuna, you can hang it outside the window on a string and use it as a crude thermometer if you don't have the real thing.) Much of the tuna used in cat food comes from the red-meat part of the fish, which contains considerably more toxins than the white-meat tuna that humans regularly consume.
Cats become easily "hooked" on tuna just as people do on "crack cocaine. |
