| In order for this to occur, vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, ascorbate, biotin, folic acid, and niacin all must be present. Given the symptoms of deficiency, it is not much of a surprise that behavioral disorders including AD/HD respond well to supplementation with these nutrients. The need for supplementation in AD/HD sufferers may be due to several factors, including inadequate dietary sources, inability to extract needed amounts, or because they require more than others.

 Natural Light
Sunlight is responsible for manufacturing vitamin D in the skin and for aiding absorption of calcium, which is vital for healthy nerves, bones, and teeth. Natural light is also responsible for boosting the body's resistance to respiratory diseases, as well as for synchronizing our biological clocks, telling us when to sleep and when to rise. These effects of natural light on human beings have been known for some time.
Scientists have recently made an exciting new discovery, however, that shows just how important light is for human health. |

Tips For Babies
—When giving lemon water or molasses water, etc., to a nursing baby it is better to use a spoon, eye dropper or cup. Nursing babies often get lazy and will not work for mother's milk if they get used to a rubber nipple.
Never allow a baby to drink a bottle while lying on his back or go to sleep and leave a bottle in his mouth. The baby needs to be raised enough so the milk will not slip back into the eustachian tube and cause ear problems. |

 Though many supplement programs focus on our vitamin and mineral requiremerits, we may see more interest in enzyme therapies in the future. An increasing number of nutrition-oriented doctors are beginning to make enzymes a central focus of healing therapies.
BEST SOURCES
There are several ways our bodies get life-sustaining enzymes. Some are manufactured by our body organs. Our saliva glands, stomach, and liver all produce enzymes—and the pancreas is the major factory.
Raw foods are another important source because plants produce enzymes to sustain their own metabolic activities. |
| For these conditions, I recommend a combination of evening primrose oil, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and the herb vitex.

"You used to be fit and energetic," I said. "What's happened?"
"Since I had the baby, I've just been falling apart," Cheryl replied.
As I was taking a comprehensive history, I began to suspect that a large part of Cheryl's health problems stemmed from a single source.
"You're doing lots of good things," I told her. |
| If not, take vitamin E with the fish oil to prevent the oil from going rancid.
Fish-oil capsules should be stored in the refrigerator once they are opened. Don't leave the container standing in bright light or keep it in a warm room.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
Some people who take fish oil experience digestive upset including burping— which can be disconcerting because you may burp a "fishy" smell. But you probably won't have that problem if you take the capsules with meals. |

| Fresh rose hips contain 60 times as much vitamin C as oranges, and rugosa roses, with their large round fruits, are considered to have one of the highest contents. I've had the pleasure of eating some of them raw in the dead of winter in the high Uintah Mountains here in Utah. I ate only the walls of the hips and spit out the seeds. I found them to have quite an exciting taste in the cold weather.

| E (800 IU daily), cod liver oil capsules (4 daily), olive oil (1 tbsp daily), and bromelain (about 750 mg 3 times a day on an empty stomach) have similar action to Coumadin and aspirin, thinning the blood and reducing the risk of a thrombotic event (Douglass 1996). Other heart nutrients such as C0Q10, hawthorn, carnitine, taurine, magnesium, and ginkgo biloba are also important.

| A (retinol) were telated to regression of cervical dysplasia, especially in HPV-16-positive women. Nagata et al. (1999a) conducted a follow-up study in 134 women who had been histologically diagnosed with cervical dysplasia (from October 1987 to September 1988). Follow-up with the women was continued until February 1995. Every 3 months, the women were examined with cervical smears and colposcopy (a visual examination of the cervix and vagina using a lighted instrument). During follow-up, 8 women (5.9%) developed cancer in situ or invasive cervical cancer and 106 (79.1%) reverted to normal. |
