The medical diagnosis for elevated, nonsuppressible Cortisol levels is Cushing's disease. This inability to control the level of Cortisol produces obesity (similar to what is seen with someone on steroids such as Prednisone), bone loss, depression, mania, etc. Cushing's is difficult to detect. |

The pungent principles are thought to be the most pharmacologically active components of ginger. Gingerol and its derivatives can be found in concentrations as high as 33 percent in ginger oleoresin. The fresh oleoresin will have a higher percentage of the more pungent gingerol, as gingerol can be dehydrated during storage to form shogaol (Figure 12.2) or have its fatty acid moiety cleaved to form zingerone (Figure 12.3). The oleoresin is made by extracting the oily and resinous materials with the aid of a solvent (alcohol, hexane, or acetone). |

Selenium Selenium supplementation is an absolute necessity in the treatment of HIV-positive and AIDS patients. Levels of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), an important antioxidant enzyme, are usually found to be quite low in HIV patients, and even lower in AIDS patients. Selenium supplementation significantly increases GSH-PX activity in HIV-positive subjects. |

 B6. Food rich in l-taurine include clams, tuna fish, oysters, and human milk. l-taurine increases the calcium availability in heart muscle for contractions while it protects against calcium overload. Like coenzyme Q,o, l-taurine has been tested in people with chronic congestive heart failure. One study tested the effects of l-taurine (3 grams per day) in 17 patients with congestive heart failure. l-taurine improved the ability of the heart to pump blood after 6 weeks.

Ancient healing systems such as India's Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (Chapters 2 and 3) include dietary remedies. Plants and herbs were the first medicines in every culture. Modern alternative remedies, such as the diet- and coffee-enema-based metabolic therapies as well as other unproven cancer regimens, also include special diets.

| C). For example, in one study, persons with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus that developed 2-15 years after donating blood for a serum bank in 1974 were designated as cases.63 For each case, four controls were selected from the serum bank donors, matched for race, sex, and age. Stored serum samples from cases and controls were assayed for alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, and retinol. Cases of both diseases had lower serum concentrations of alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, and retinol in 1974 than their matched controls. |

| A content is stored in the liver. It is stored as a lipoglycoprotein complex consisting of 96% retinyl esters and 4% un-esterified retinol. The retinyl esters are hydrolyzed by a tightly bound retinyl ester hydrolase which transfers the released all-trans retinol to intracellular retinol binding protein (RBP). The bound retinol is then processed through the Golgi apparatus and secreted into the plasma where it forms a reversible 1:1 molar complex with prealbumin.1,2

| D-deficient. There is preliminary evidence based on animal studies that boron has an effect in males on steroidogenesis (e.g. production of testosterone) and testicular function and development proportional to the boron concentration in the testes.
There is increasing interest in the role of boron on brain function. Results in animals and humans indicate that dietary boron influences brain electrical activity. Individuals in a low state of alertness consume less boron (<0.5 mg/day) than those found to be more alert (>3.0 mg/day). |

Carotenes and retinols offer several types of protection. They improve the integrity and function of the epithelial tissues, provide antioxidant properties and enhance immune system function (see Ch. 53). As with other diseases, it appears that beta-carotene is more advantageous than retinoids, possibly due to greater antioxidant properties, immune-enhancing effects and its tendency to be concentrated in epithelial tissues. |
| Since the median time required for progression from cervical dysplasia to carcinoma in situ in untreated patients ranges from 86 months for patients with very mild dysplasia to 12 months for patients with severe dysplasia, and regression is very uncommon, it is suggested that a trial of folate supplementation (along with other considerations discussed) be instituted in mild-to-moderate dysplasia, with a follow-up Pap smear and colposcopy at 3 months. |

Liver extracts
The oral administration of liver extracts has been used in the treatment of many chronic liver diseases since 1896. Numerous scientific investigations into the therapeutic efficacy of liver extracts have demonstrated that these extracts promote hepatic regeneration and are quite effective in the treatment of chronic liver disease, including chronic active hepatitis.8-10 For example, in one double-blind study, 556 patients with chronic hepatitis were given either 70 mg of a liver extract or a placebo three times daily. |

When supplements are used in research, they often reach doses of four hundred to eight hundred milligrams per day, or even higher. However, such large doses are really used as medications rather than as part of normal nutrition, and they are not a guide to how much your body actually needs. Although benefits have sometimes been shown from these doses, they have generally been in subjects following diets that are otherwise far from ideal or suffering from medical conditions. |

| E, the greater the degree of protection against oxidative damage to LDL cholesterol. Although dosages as low as 25 mg are effective in offering some protection, it appears that doses of greater than 400 IU are required to produce clinically significant effects.51 Dosages of 200 IU do not provide the same degree of protection as 400-800 IU, especially in smokers and people exposed to greater oxidative stress. |

Celery is a particularly interesting recommendation for hypertension. It contains a 3-n-butyl phthalide which has been found to lower blood pressure. In animals, a very small amount of this compound lowered blood pressure by 12-14% and cholesterol by about 7%. The equivalent dose in humans can be supplied in about four ribs of celery. The research was prompted by the father of one of the researchers, who after eating a quarter-pound of celery every day for 1 week observed that his blood pressure had dropped from 158/96 to 118/82. |

Zinc is another of the body's much-needed resources. While virtually all cells contain zinc, some of the highest concentrations are in bone. If you have a deficiency, your body's ability to make collagen—the "glue" for your connective tissues—is seriously impaired.
To promote tissue repair, Dr. Bar-Shalom recommends a daily dose of 45 milligrams of zinc. Doses above 20 milligrams must be taken under medical supervision. |

Ipriflavone and Estrogen
There is some evidence that ipriflavone may be helpful as an adjunct to estrogen in maintaining bone density, but studies are inconsistent. A recent study of 116 Japanese women who'd had their ovaries removed found that ipriflavone alone is inadequate to maintain bone density, although it may be helpful when taken with estrogen. The women were randomized to placebo, 0.625 mg per day of conjugated estrogens, 600 mg per day of ipriflavone, or conjugated estrogens and ipriflavone. |

| B12, Dr. DiPalma says. Absorption problems are most likely in older people with reduced stomach acid or those who have had stomach surgery. People who have Crohn's disease or other stomach or intestinal problems may also be susceptible.
Injections are one way to maintain adequate blood levels of B12, Dr. DiPalma says, but some people with absorption problems can correct a deficiency by taking oral doses of 2,000 micrograms daily for at least one month. He advises taking methylcobalamin, the active form of B12. After the first month, Dr. DiPalma has his patients take 1,000 micrograms daily. |

Examination of the paper led most impartial observers to conclude that the test was fair. At first reading, in fact, it appeared that the Mayo researchers had exactly duplicated the Pauling-Cameron protocols. Yet according to the California chemist, the Mayo Clinic paper was written in such a way that in his opinion it would give nearly every reader of the paper the impression that the Mayo Clinic patients had been treated in the same way as Dr. Cameron's patients, which is false (ibid.). |

 B12. Meat is commonly associated with sexual potency and virility. On the other side of the coin, vegetarian cooking is commonly considered monotonous and unappetizing. Very often, there is an underlying fear of disapproval of friends and family should you become a vegetarian, and the feeling that it is simply too difficult to eat properly without meat as a mainstay.
The recipes offered in this chapter were designed specifically to dispel the myths that a vegetarian diet must be boring, unappetizing, and nutritionally inadequate. |
| B6 is at least as effective as Ritalin in ameliorating hyperactivity in children. The B6 was found to be safer and cheaper, and its beneficial effects lasted longer. Even though this was a well-documented, carefully controlled double-blind study published in a reputable medical journal {Biological Psychiatry) it could not shake most medical professionals from their bias against nutritional approaches to mental and behavioral disorders. "Pediatricians, psychiatrists, and other physicians," observed Dr. Rimland, "continue to give kids Ritalin instead of B6 to control their hyperactivity. |
