Richard Lucas See book keywords and concepts | PABA
PABA (para amino benzoic acid) is a member of the vitamin b complex. It is often referred to as the anti-gray-hair vitamin, and studies have shown that some of the gray hair of persons given PABA was restored to the original color in 70% of the cases.
Researchers have reported that extreme fatigue, skin rashes, or eczema can result from a deficiency of PABA. It is for this reason that the addition of PABA to the diet often helps to increase energy and to clear up or prevent eczema. And indications are that its use may also help to prevent old age texture of the skin. | Ronald Klatz and Robert Goldman See book keywords and concepts | PROTECTING YOUR THYROID
In a sense, your first line of defense against hypothyroidism is to take a good multivitamin along with vitamin b complex and vitamin C supplements. Some cases of hypothyroidism may be treated in this way, without the affected person ever having to take thyroid supplements.
On the other hand, if your thyroid problem is caused by something other than a vitamin deficiency, your body won't be able to make use of the vitamin supplements you are taking. In that case, you may need TH supplementation.
Not only vitamin deficiencies sabotage your TH production. | Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | VITAMINS

The results are impressive: "The vast majority of women who treat fibroids through diet get rid of their pain and heavy bleeding within three to six months. | Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | Other invaluable nutritional supplements in addition to vitamin C and bioflavonoids are vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin b complex (including vitamins B5 and B6), coenzyme Q10, proteolytic enzymes, zinc, calcium, magnesium, manganese, pycnogenol, and kelp. Avoid drinking alcohol during the pollen season as alcohol causes blood vessels in the nose to swell, creating congestion. Consider the advantages of acupuncture treatments: studies show that patients feel better, more energized, warmer, and more relaxed after such procedures. | Annemarie Colbin See book keywords and concepts | This newfound centeredness is the result of the contractive effects of eating whole grains and beans, the nerve-calming action of the full vitamin b complex present in those foods, and the slow metabolizing of their complex carbohydrates. At the same time, avoiding foods that are more expansive and uncentering (sugar, large amounts of fruits, juices, and salads) reduces "spaciness" and unfocused thinking. Calmness sets in, we can say, as craziness dissipates for lack of fuel. | The right amount of whole grains in the diet will support resistance to stress (thanks to the vitamin b complex), endurance, steadfastness, and the capacity for steady work.
Too much grain can make the body acidic, as meat would, unless it is accompanied by appropriate quantities of vegetables, seaweeds, or fruits. If it is not well chewed, grain can also cause flatulence and overweight. The saliva contains an enzyme called ptyalin, which initiates the breakdown of starches, and if that enzyme doesn't get a chance to act, the rest of the digestive process becomes much more laborious. | Dr. Joseph M. Kadans, N.D. See book keywords and concepts | The chemical formula is C6 H5 N02 and this vitamin is an important part of the vitamin b complex. It works with the other B vitamins in converting the carbohydrates (sugars and starches) into energy, and it has been singled out as an important factor in the prevention of pellagra, the deficiency disease marked by lesions, swelling, itching and nervous disturbances. This vitamin, as well as the other B vitamins, works closely with the proteins and amino acids for good health. | Christian Ratsch See book keywords and concepts | Coconut flakes contain proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamin b complex.
Effects
Because of its low alcohol content, the palm wine obtained from the bleeding sap—even when consumed in large quantities—has stimulating, almost refreshing and invigorating effects that do, however, tend toward drunkenness. The effects of drinks fermented from the milk are different: "Fermented coconut milk has a high alcohol content: too much will result in toxic symptoms" (Udupa and Tripathi 1983, 64). | Schuyler W.

Some alternate nutritionists have recommended that "PWAs" take enormous "megadoses" of some vitamins, in particular, vitamin C. They have recommended daily doses of 30, 40, or 50 grams of vitamin C per day. At such doses, vitamin C is no longer a food supplement, but a drug. I think this is not a good idea. For one thing, these recommendations reflect the erroneous notion that a virus is the cause of "AIDS", and that vitamin C will attack the virus. | Susun S.

Also, 64 oz. of pure water per day (fluoride-free) as well as foods high in iodine, such as seafood, are helpful for promoting a healthy thyroid. I have found that nutritional supplements, although helpful, do not generally improve thyroid function as efficiently as combining them with small amounts of desiccated thyroid hormone, when indicated. | Lita Lee, Lisa Turner and Burton Goldberg See book keywords and concepts | Such a diet will provide adequate amounts of minerals (including zinc), folic acid, the entire vitamin b complex (including biotin), and the fat-soluble vitamins such as A and E, all of which are important in skin health.
Cultured milk products, including yogurt, as well as sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables are abundant with friendly bowel bacteria. These friendly bacteria are essential in maintaining the healthy functioning of the intestinal tract. | Vitamin E: Thera-zyme Rbs (food sources of vitamin E include vegetables and whole grains)
?Vitamin B complex: Thera-zyme Adr (most whole foods contain B complex in the correct proportions); Adr also helps relieve stress
?Minerals: Heart-healthy minerals include chromium, zinc, magnesium, and potassium but they should not be taken as isolated supplements. Both Thera-zyme TRMA and Thy contain minerals from kelp. It is important not to take too much kelp because it can suppress thyroid function. | David Brownstein See book keywords and concepts | Pregnant women may need lower levels.
3. vitamin b complex The B vitamins have a wide range of functions in the body, from maintaining the immune system to affecting all of the hormonal glands. B vitamins are commonly stripped from processed food. Inadequate Vitamin B levels will contribute to chronic disease. B vitamins are found in animal products, grains, nuts and seeds. Recommended dose: B-100, two times a day.
4. Vitamin B-3 (Niacinamide): Recommended dose: 1,500-3OOOmg per day. Please see
Niacinamide section above.
5. Vitamin B-6 Recommended dose: lOOmg per day.
6. | I treated Andy with Minocin (an antibiotic effective for treating mycoplasma bacteria), flaxseed oil, zinc, Vitamin B6, and vitamin b complex 100. Within one month of this therapy, Andy noticed a marked improvement. "I feel 75% better. I no longer wake up stiff and I feel like I am getting my mobility back. This is the first time since I have been sick that I finally feel like I am getting better, " he claimed.
Andy has now been treated with this regimen for over one year, and he continues to make steady progress. | Phil was additionally treated with the adrenal hormone DHEA and nutritional supplements (Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, vitamin b complex, magnesium and others). Today, four years after starting these natural therapies, Phil remains symptom free. He is back to playing sports and claims, "I feel like I have the energy I had when I was in my twenties. I feel like a new person. "
My experience has shown that a large percentage (more than seventy percent) of chronic fatigue patients are hypothyroid. | Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | At the outset of the attorney's therapy, I placed him on a high dosage of vitamin b complex. He took 100 mg of a multiple-B formula three times daily. This was, of course, a megadose of the nutrient. He responded almost immediately. His mood swings and irritability declined practically overnight, and within five days he was functioning better than he had in several months.
I had not reversed the apparent disorder that had inhibited his utilization of B vitamins, but I had effectively compensated for it by vastly increasing his intake of B vitamins. | Different patients take different nutrients, in varying dosages, but most use the following nutrients: vitamin A, vitamin b complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. Often these supplements are taken in addition to a multivitamin, which provides lesser amounts of a broad range of nutrients and micronu-trients. Some patients also take protein powder, or take the following amino acids: phenylalanine, glutamine, methionine, and arginine. | Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | For the general health of the mother and the fetus, and specifically for the optimum development of the immune system, endocrine system, central nervous system, and brain of the fetus, there needs to be a significant intake of the following: essential fatty acids (EFAs), calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper, iodine, the full range of the vitamin b complex (especially B6, B12, and folic acid), vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E. All of these can be obtained from the following basic vegetarian foods, food concentrates, and food-grown supplements. |
