In a recent study (2001), forty-six men and thirty-five women with systolic hypertension (but normal diastolic blood pressure) underwent a twelve-week trial in which they received either 60 mg/day of hydrosoluble Q-Gel coenzyme Qio containing 1 50 IU of vitamin f, or a similar-appearing placebo containing vitamin E alone. Five men and four women without hypertension (normotensive) were enrolled as controls, and were also given coenzyme Qio therapy. Over the study period, the average drop in systolic blood pressure in the coenzyme Qi0 group was 17.8 mm Hg.

The men took "vitamin F complex," a flaxseed oil-based concentrate containing essential fatty acids. All 19 had a reduction in the size of their prostates. Of the 19 men, 18 had no further "dribbling;" excess night-time urination was eliminated in 13 of 19 men; and 12 of the 19 had no further "residual urine" after urination. Most of the men also reported an increase in libido. In 1974, Professor Irwin Bush, head of the Division of Urology at Cook County Hospital (Chicago), reported his results with the use of zinc by 19 men with symptoms of an enlarged prostate.

They are occasionally also referred to as vitamin f or polyunsaturates. EFAs must be supplied through the diet. Essential fatty acids have desirable effects on many disorders. They improve the skin and hair, reduce blood pressure, aid in the prevention of arthritis, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and reduce the risk of blood clot formation. They are beneficial for candidiasis, cardiovascular disease, eczema, and psoriasis. Found in high concentrations in the brain, EFAs aid in the transmission of nerve impulses and are needed for the normal development and functioning of the brain.

When the vitamin f complex is in the blood, it ionizes and polarizes the calcium molecules, then the calcium begins to flow out of the blood into the tissue. Vitamin D deionizes calcium; vitamin f ionizes it. This results in decreased blood calcium and increased tissue calcium. Most people have limited amounts of ionizable calcium in the body because they depend upon pasteurized dairy foods for their calcium.

One of the most important functions of vitamin f is in helping gland function, particularly the adrenals and the thyroid. Fatty acids are stored in the fat tissues of the body. Having sufficient vitamin f can help weight loss, but an excess can lead to unwanted pounds. We need enough but not too much. An excellent way to obtain these nutrients is to use cold pressed oils in our diet (See natural sources). If taken as a supplement it is best taken with meals.

They are sometimes also referred to as vitamin f. All animals and humans require essential fatty acids. There are two known essential fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is a member of the family designated omega-3 fatty acids, and linoleic acid, which is one of the omega-6 fatty acids. Another fatty acid, arachidonic acid (AA), also an omega-6 fatty acid, was once thought to be an essential fatty acid, but researchers have since learned that ALA and LA can be converted into AA in the liver.

They play a profound nutritional role, supplying not only lipids to the diet but also vitamin f, the essential fatty acids used by the body to build and maintain membrane structures, among other functions. The numbering of carbons in fatty acids begins with the carbon of the carboxyl group. Fatty acids that contain no carbon-carbon double bonds are termed saturated fatty acids; those that contain double bonds are unsaturated fatty acids. The numbers used for fatty acids come from the number of carbon atoms, followed by the number of sites of unsaturation.

Originally these were called the Vitamin F's. Perhaps because scientists found it impossible to put vitamin f in a vitamin pill, the name was changed to the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) in the 1950's. They are a recognized part of the Recommended Daily Requirement: 3 grams/day of the Omega 6 Linoleic Acid (LA) and 2 grams/day of the Omega 3 Linolenic Acid (LNA). No requirement for the third oil, the Super Omega Six, Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) has been set. Some scientists blame the prevalence of degenerative diseases in our society on the lack of essential fatty acids in the modern diet.

Miller showed that this antagonist of vitamin D, vitamin f, transported calcium by means of attaching an extra electron to the calcium molecule. One effect of that electron is that the calcium molecules become polarized and lined up in the exact same direction. This could be likened to a pile of iron filings; if you wave a magnet over the iron filings, they all respond to the magnetic force and line up in the same direction. When the vitamin f complex is in the blood, it ionizes and polarizes the calcium molecules, then the calcium begins to flow out of the blood into the tissue.

Many persons who suffer from eczema need an additional intake of vegetable oils and/or vitamin f. The nutritional expert Dr. Alan Gaby feels that appropriate nutritional therapy eliminates the need for potentially dangerous steroid therapy in the treatment of eczema. Many eczema patients appear to lack the ability to utilize essential fatty acids (EFAs), but these can be supplemented by oils such as sunflower, safflower, flaxseed, black currant seed, borage, or evening primrose.

What you were deficient in was the vitamin f that would transport calcium from the blood into the tissue. NOT ALL FORMS OF CALCIUM ARE ASSIMILATED A first-year student in biochemistry should know that you cannot absorb calcium in an alkaline medium; it turns hard, crystallizes, and can't get through the gut wall. You need calcium in soft, organic form. The acid of the stomach takes calcium and breaks it down by washing it in hydrochloric acid (HC1). Anything washed in HC1 tends to become soft.

Thus, if you're eating margarine; if you're eating oleo products, hydrogenated oil products; if you're cooking the life out of your oils; you're not getting vitamin f factors. Then, even if you have calcium, you're not going to put it into the skin to protect the skin against solar radiation. CAN YOU TAKE THE HEAT? We've cut this hole in the immune system of the atmosphere (the ozone layer); we're increasingly exposed to higher levels of ultraviolet (UV) rays, which means that if you're cooking at 350°F, maybe you'll get by with stainless steel.

Vitamin D deionizes calcium; vitamin f ionizes it. This results in decreased blood calcium and increased tissue calcium. Most people have limited amounts of ionizable calcium in the body because they depend upon pasteurized dairy foods for their calcium. Then, when they take a vitamin D supplement (which is unnecessarily synthetically fortified into most processed, pasteurized, and homogenized milk) or go out into the sun, which is for all practical purposes a vitamin D supplement, their blood calcium levels build up. But the calcium has no means of being drawn into the skin.

It is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (sometimes referred to as vitamin f) and was heralded by some European nutritionists as one of the best oils for human consumption. It must be cold-pressed, without chemical solvents, unlike the oil used for industrial purposes. The seeds themselves have been used as food, cooked, since Antiquity. They are still eaten roasted in Northeast Aftica. They contain 30 to 40% of the drying oil mentioned, mucilage, pectin, a cyanogenetic glucoside (linamarin) and a ferment. Linamarin is similar to the glucoside found in the lima bean (phaseolunatin).

Miller found that the vitamin that controlled calcium absorption into the blood had a natural antagonist, unofficially called vitamin f. What vitamin do we get from the sun? Vitamin D. It is important to understand the relationship between vitamins and minerals because they are entirely different substances. Let me illustrate: intellectually, for the sake of this discussion, you could classify minerals as being dumb. As much as I love them, and I can't live without them, minerals obey one primary physical law: gravity. Minerals, in this way, are alive and they're beautiful, but they're dumb.

At the time, they didn't understand the importance of EFAs, which were dubbed vitamin f, but they suspected that the different fatty acids were essential for human health. Much of the groundbreaking research on EFAs has occurred in the last few decades, but physicians through the ages have intuitively understood that certain foods in the diet—foods that we've since learned are rich in EFAs—are powerful medicine. Consider the famous physician Hippocrates, who lived in the fifth century B.C. and is known for the quotation, "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.

In fact, EFAs used to be called vitamin f. Just as with vitamins, deficiency of EFA is bad for our health. Nutritionists are becoming increasingly alarmed about the excessive fear of fat fostered by the media. While consuming too much fat can of course lead to problems, so can eating too little fat. EFAs are essential for the stored energy they provide and because the body cannot make them. As a consequence, they must be obtained from food, and nuts and seeds?particularly in their natural, unprocessed form—are the best source of EFAs. Of course, we can't ignore the "fatty" aspect of EFAs.
