Culinary Uses
In green varieties, the flesh is white and sweet. Pink varieties usually have pink-tinged flesh near the rind and around the seeds and are somewhat tarter in flavor. The flesh of both is somewhat fibrous but smooth and custardy, with a quantity of hard, smooth, inedible seeds. Always consumed raw, the flesh is served either in the half shell or scooped out, chilled, and served with cream and sugar to intensify the flavor. | | Into this insipid starch synthetic chemicals are added, which form only part of the missing vitamin b complex and which ate not properly ingestible by humans because they are not properly balanced. Naturally leavened breads are easier to digest, since they contain lactobacillus, essential to the proper digestion of complex carbohydrates, and contain no phytic acid, which has been tied to anemia, rickets, and nervous disorders. | | Wheat germ is one of the very few places in nature in which the entire vitamin b complex is found. Widely available as a waste product from the milling of white flour, it comes either raw or toasted. Raw wheat germ goes rancid within seventy-two hours of milling and even faster if it is not refrigerated. Rancidity occurs because most wheat germ is rolled into flakes, which breaks open the sac containing the wheat germ oil and exposes it to air. Since its vitamin E content acts an antioxidant, there is a brief grace period. | David Hoffman, FNIMH, AHG See book keywords and concepts | Galium aparine, Calendula officinalis

Broader Context of Treatment
Iron, vitamin C, vitamin b complex, and zinc supplements can be very helpful, in some cases even enough to clear the problem. Dental attention may be important, as a tooth abscess or gum disease may be the focus of the underlying problem. Similarly, a history of stomach ulceration or other gastric problems must be considered. Diet is critical, as irritants of all kinds must be avoided. | Walter Last See book keywords and concepts | Use intestinal sanitation; alkalize the body; take high-potency vitamin b complex and glutamine; practice guided imagery and affirmations; have outdoor activity and group support. Do detoxification ncinrr ir(=*nitpnf cittnic r\r Vir\t Kort-ic
AIDS: Helpful is a predominantly raw food diet with plenty of sprouted seeds and fresh vegetable juices, mainly from cereal grasses and purple foods. Also try oxygen therapies alternating with high antioxidant intake, intestinal sanitation, and herbal parasite cure, and continue longer with wormwood. | Mark Hyman, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | We stopped the Premarin and recommended lifestyle changes (including more exercise and a better, caffeine- and sugar-free diet), supplements including vitamin E and vitamin b complex, and such herbal remedies as Dong Quai and black cohosh. We also put her on a very low, temporary dose of estrogen (the new FDA-approved human [or bio-identical] estrogen, synthesized from soybeans as opposed to a horse's estrogen), transmitted through the skin in the form of a patch. | Walter Last See book keywords and concepts | Also helpful are freeze-dried thyroid and vitamin b complex. Selenium is needed to activate the thyroid hormone. The most helpful remedy for normalizing thyroid functions is maca, a Peruvian tuberous root, similar to wild yam but more effective. For sources, check the Internet.
Other useful measures are pressing the thyroid foot reflexes (see step 15), using the magnetic pulser on the thyroid gland (see step 19), and sanitizing your teeth (see step 8). The main causes of thyroid problems, except for iodine deficiency, are dead teeth (e.g. | David Hoffman, FNIMH, AHG See book keywords and concepts | Murray and Pizzorno recommend the following supplements:30
Vitamin A: 10,000 IU/day Vitamin B complex: 10 to 100 mg/day Vitamin C with bioflavonoids: 1 to 3 g/day Vitamin E: 200 to 600 IU/day Magnesium: 800 to 1,200 mg/day Zinc: 15 to 30 mg/day

APPENDIX A
Hemochromatosis: A Novel Case Study-by WALTER LAST
This unorthodox case study is presented for the interest of our readers. | David Hoffman, FNIMH, AHG See book keywords and concepts | Pizzorno and Murray in Textbook of Natural Medicine include:1
Vitamin A: 50,000 IU/day Vitamin E: 400 IU/day (mixed tocopherols) Zinc: 50 mg/day as picolinate (decrease dosage as condition clears)
Quercetin: 200 to 400 mg three times a day (taken 5 minutes before meals)
EPA and DHA: 540 mg and 360 mg/day, or flaxseed oil: lOg daily
Evening primrose oil: 3,000 mg/day
Other authorities have recommended supplementation with vitamin C and vitamin b complex in addition to the other supplements listed. | John Lauritsen See book keywords and concepts | C, vitamin b complex (through tablets, Brewer's yeast, or liver), beta carotene (25,000 units), and vitamin E (400 units). These dosages are well above the minimums recommended by establishment nutritionists, but they are still perfectly safe. Vitamins C and A (from beta carotene) are important for the immune system. Vitamin E is beneficial as an anti-oxidant and a detoxifier. vitamin b complex is especially important for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts.
Some alternate nutritionists have recommended that "PWAs" take enormous "megadoses" of some vitamins, in particular, vitamin C. | Patrick Holford See book keywords and concepts | These include vitamin C, vitamin b complex, especially vitamin B6, and the minerals magnesium and chromium.
2. Stimulant and drug dependence
Although many people know that drinking and eating stimulants is not good for their health, it is not assumed that it can make them crazy. This is far from the truth. Excessive intake of stimulants (tea, coffee, alcohol, sugar, cola, caffeine pills, cigarettes) can bring on symptoms of mental illness. The symptoms are very similar to those for dysglycemia, coupled with cravings for any of these substances. | Dianne Onstad See book keywords and concepts | Biotin (or vitamin H) A member of the vitamin b complex family. A bacterial growth factor found in liver, egg yolk, and yeast.
Bromelain A mixture of proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes obtained principally from the pineapple plant. It improves the activity of antibiotics, has anti-inflammatory action, and enhances circulation and the immune system. In clinical tests bromelain reduces angina pectoris, or chest pain. | C. P. Khare See book keywords and concepts | The palm-jaggery contains carbohydrates, appreciable amounts of vitamin b complex and minerals (iron is present in an easily assimilatory form). The concentration of aminoacids in palm-jaggery is much higher than in cane-jaggery. It is used as an energy food for convalescents and is given in anaemia. It exhibits a mild laxative effect. The jaggery solution is reported to be an excellent food for typhoid patients.
The low sodium and high potassium value indicates the possibility of its use in hypertension and oedema due to heart and liver diseases. | The Life Extension Editorial Staff See book keywords and concepts | As part of their treatment regimen, another group of patients with tinnitus were given the vitamin b complex. After 5 weeks, 54% of them reported that the treatment had been effective. Long-term effectiveness was not investigated in this study (Ohsaki et al. 1998).
Vitamin B^ deficiency has been associated with delayed auditory brainstem responses. In a study on animals, the delayed response was corrected in 2-4 days after beginning vitamin Bi (Shigematsu et al. 1990). Biotin deficiency is also thought to affect development of the auditory nerves. | Carlton Fredericks, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | | Similarly, the intake of vitamin b complex that helps to protect a woman against pellagra or beriberi may be far below what she needs to bar the effects of excessive estrogen activity.
Between the 1930s and 1940s, evidence was accumulated (and ignored) which related high levels of estrogen to abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic cystic mastitis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, excessive tendency to blood clotting, and breast and uterine cancer. | | Much later, it was found that "well-fed" women with estrogen-dependent disorders, ranging from premenstrual tension and prolonged menstruation to excessive hemorrhaging and cystic mastitis, lost their symptoms when more generously supplied with the vitamin b complex and protein, which, of course, begs the question: is our nutritional standard for a "well-fed" woman too low? The point involved is illustrated in the rat's requirement for Vitamin A, for the daily intake which will protect the animal's eyes is strikingly less than the potency needed for reproductive efficiency. | | They proved to be in the vitamin b complex, a group of vitamins so called because they tend to occur together in foods. This degradation of estrogen was demonstrably inefficient with a diet low in B vitamins and highly effective in the presence of an adequate supply of these nutrients, provided by a good diet.
All the early research, though, was performed with laboratory rats. | | Accompanying the diet were supplements of vitamins, minerals, and a natural source of the vitamin b complex. Consistent use of such a diet plan is essential if patients with low blood sugar are to rehabilitate liver and adrenal functions. | | Those reports were allowed to gather dust, exactly as were those concerning vitamin b complex and its actions on estrogen metabolism. But from the 1950s on, there were repeated observations of deficiency in Vitamin C in the white blood cells of patients with cancer. These are the cells which the body uses to destroy both bacteria and alien cells, which would, of course, include cancer. One physician, a surgeon, did heed that research. He is Dr. | | So it was that I learned of a proestrogen factor of the vitamin b complex from an article on the nutritional needs of young chickens. When estrogen is administered to chicks, the oviduct, which might loosely be compared with the human uterus, increases in size thirtyfold. If the chick is deficient in folic acid, the increase is only fourfold. An indirect reflection of this interrelationship became clear when it was discovered that birth control pills which contain estrogen cause a folic-acid deficiency in women. Later observations prove the same effect of the Pill on Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. | Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | VITAMINS
