It is also common for asthmatics to have below normal red blood cell counts, that is, anaemia. Symptoms include constant tiredness, palpitations, severe headaches, tachycardia (racing heartbeat), loss of appetite, shortness of breath, dizziness and ringing in the ears. Anaemia is treated with extra iron and Vitamin Bl2. Selenium is sometimes suggested also, but only in minimal doses on a short-term basis. |

 In this respect, it is important to note that other components of the diet, such as carrots and green leaf vegetables, are also a source of vitamin a, and sunshine or fortified milk can provide vitamin D.
The recommended daily allowance for vitamin a is 1000 retinol equivalents per day and for vitamin D is 400 International Units (IU). The deep sea shark liver oil referred to in this book has a vitamin a level less than 400 retinol equivalents per daily dose of 1000 mg, with vitamin D being barely detectable in this amount. |

 A study in India used vitamin a and beta-carotene; researchers observed complete remission of the leukoplakia at a rate ten times greater than the placebo group.
2. A pilot study that used only beta-carotene showed a reversal of the leukoplakia back to normal cells in 71 percent of their patients.
3. In an ongoing study in the United States, patients received a combination of beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E; researchers witnessed a response rate of 60 percent. The abnormal precancerous cells reverted back to being normal cells.
4. In an ongoing multi-institutional U.S. |
| These are very safe, and the body is able to turn beta-carotene into vitamin a as the need arises without any risk of toxicity.
Beta-Carotene
Beta-carotene has been used in high doses over several years without a single reported adverse effect. Some individuals develop a yellowing of the skin called cawtenodermia, but this is totally benign and reverses completely once the beta-carotene is reduced or discontinued.
Vitamin E
Although vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, it has a fantastic safety record. |

 The study claims to have analyzed a collection of previous studies on vitamin a, beta carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and selenium, concluding that most of the nutrients are actually dangerous to human health. Of course, this is research from conventional medicine – an industry that promotes patented chemicals as perfectly safe, even though FDA-approved pharmaceuticals are killing 100,000 Americans each year. |

 Hypervitaminosis A: Warning
Hypervitaminosis A occurs when the level of the fat-soluble vitamin a is excessively high in the blood, leading to hair loss, arthritis-like symptoms, liver problems, and other serious symptoms; Hypervitaminosis A may be the result of using too many vitamin a supplements, or taking excessive amounts of cod liver oil which contains high levels of vitamin a. To achieve some of the higher quantities of omega-3 fatty acids described in this book, it could be potentially dangerous to use cod liver oil, since vitamin a could rise to a dangerous level. |

| These synthetic vitamins – which are really just industrial chemicals – may be called "Vitamin E" or "Vitamin A" or even "Vitamin C" but they have no functional resemblance to the real vitamins that occur in nature. Every single study over the past two decades that has sought to discredit Vitamin E, for example, focused on using synthetic Vitamin E in order to show harm. It is curious that no researcher from the world of conventional medicine will ever test the natural, full-spectrum vitamins, nutrients and phytochemicals that appear in nature. You know why? |

It is important to have a mixture of carotenoids rather than taking only beta-carotene. |
| The most common antioxidants are vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin a, and beta-carotene. We can obtain numerous other antioxidants from our food; these include coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, and the colorful bioflavanoid antioxidants. It is important to realize that antioxidants work in synergy with one another to disarm free radicals in different areas of the body. Like the varied positions of military defense, these antioxidants each have specific roles. Some antioxidants have the ability to actually regenerate other antioxidants so they can neutralize more free radicals. |

And yet, it is curious that when conventional medical researchers report the results of mortality risks for their prescription drugs, they always use absolute risk. They say things like, "Well, this drug only increased the risk by one percent." But what they are not saying is that it may be a 200% relative increase in mortality risk, depending on the baseline absolute mortality numbers. So if only 0. |

Mike: Do you buy canned sardines?
Dr. Liers: Yes. Canned sardines will cost you around a dollar for 15 ounces. You can get them at your Asian or ethnic food market, or even Safeway has them for about $1.50. We regularly serve our dogs sardines. We developed a recipe called Dog Heaven. We mix a little bit of Innova EVO dog food with the sardines. Then we add Rejuvenate! and maybe some chlorella or Living Fuel. |

| The developing brain of the fetus depends on adequate amounts of vitamin a, and new research suggests that this nutrient is involved in brain function throughout life. vitamin a has been described by Dr. Ronald Evans of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, as "a type of molecular key that unlocks one of the most powerful functions of the human brain," learning. Dr. Evans and others are particularly concerned about the estimated 190 million children around the world who have vitamin a deficiencies.

Parkinson's Disease
A stooped posture, slow voluntary movement, rigidity, and a "pill-rolling" tremor that causes the hands to move back and forth in a "rolling" action characterize Parkinson's disease. Public appearances by Muhammad Ali have made us all more aware of the effects of this debilitating disease. These encumbrances are the reason Carl's story is so profound. |

 Basically, we lose about 50 percent of the vitamin D in the distillation process and about 5 percent of the vitamin a. That doesn't sound like much, but what you are assuring is the amount of vitamin a and D in our cod liver oil only occurs in the fish. We don't augment it with synthetic vitamins A or D. What you are getting in one teaspoon of our cod liver oil is the highest level you would see in any cod liver oil of DHA and EPA. It is 700 milligrams of DHA. |

 A lot of people will go out and buy a supplement with just vitamin a in it, for instance. vitamin a needs zinc in order to work well. What happens is people start buying three, four or five supplement bottles trying to put together a good profile of nutrients for their pet. We have all that in the mega pet daily. So, all we recommend adding to the mega pet daily is vitamin C. There is only 250 milligrams in the mega daily, which is enough to make the other minerals work, but you need 1,000 to 4,000 milligrams a day, depending on the size of the animal. |

| These are major problems, and vitamin a is another factor that helps prevent them.
We have grape seed extract in there. The reason is that grape seed extract is one of the best collagen cross-linkers known. You get weakened blood vessels when you get glycation of the proteins because you have high blood sugar all the time. If you can cross-link those proteins and collagen, you are going to prevent the blood vessels from just deteriorating. That is some of the design logic that goes into a product like Diabetes Defense.

 When combined with vitamin a, vitamin E is especially effective at preventing certain skin cancers. Vitamin E also reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and, when applied topically, soothes dry or rough skin. Food sources of vitamin E include wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds, safflower and sunflower oils, almonds, spinach, peaches, prunes, tomatoes, cabbage, asparagus, and avocados.
Avoid synthetic vitamin E supplements, as they have been shown to actually harm health. Only consume natural vitamin E from a reputable source such as the Life Extension Foundation (www.LEF. |

 Vitamin A preparations are also used to treat nappy rash, skin irritations and minor burns; vitamin a acid (retinoic acid) and vitamin a palmitate are used as treatments for acne.
THE GLYCOSIDES
The glycosides are discussed in a separate section here as they in fact enhance the structural diversity of other natural product classes. The term glycoside is a generic term for a natural product that is chemically bound to a sugar. Thus the glycoside is composed of parts: the sugar and the aglycone. |

| It doesn't quite cover everything an asthmatic requires, though, so we recommend that in addition you should take extra vitamin a and Vitamin D, preferably in the natural and concentrated form of a cod liver oil capsule, along with 2000-2500 mg of Vitamin C using ascorbate acid or rosehip juice (see advice above on building up the dose slowly).
Vitamin E in the form of a spoonful of wheatgerm daily is also good for asthmatics and if Vitamin P (bioflavonoids) improves your asthma you should add it to your daily supplement.
The quantities recommended for supplementation are for adults only. |

Professor Tim Lang of the Centre for Food Policy in London states you would have to eat eight modern oranges to obtain the same amount of vitamin a your grandparents enjoyed from just one! Poor nutrient content in soil is not our only worry though. As if the damage caused by pesticides isn't enough, crops are now being altered through genetic modification until they are no longer "natural" at all!
