| Many neurologists recommend vitamins c and E for Parkinson's disease. Little by little these natural approaches are becoming mainstream.
But there is still a great deal of resistance to changing the way doctors treat disease. Despite overwhelming evidence that some ulcers can be cured—not just temporarily relieved—by antibiotic therapy, it is a rare doctor who recommends this therapy to ulcer patients. Why? | | Our first line of defense against free radicals is the antioxidant supplements (see page xxiv), which include the vitamins c, E, beta-carotene, and selenium, the cornerstones of our body's pollution-control device that inactivates free radicals. Many studies have found a direct connection between intake of the antioxidant vitamins and the incidence of atherosclerosis. A recent eight-year study showed that taking daily doses of vitamin E appears to cut the risk of heart disease by one third to one half. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The key heroes in controlling allergies and bolstering immunity are vitamins c, A, pantothenic acid, B6, and B3. Despite a plugged nose, most allergic people like the smell of these nutrients and might need them two or three times daily.
The amino acid supplements should be used for a month or so that they will be absorbed and help build the glands and the globulins. The efficacy of the intestinal lining cells cannot be trusted to digest and absorb the food proteins needed for anabol-ism. A few B12 shots might be considered here. |

See book keywords and concepts |  According to in vitro research, PCOs from grape seed are more potent antioxidants than vitamins c, E, and beta-carotene.16 Grape seed extract has also demonstrated superior antioxidant effects in living systems. In an animal experiment, the extract protected liver and brain tissues against free radical damage more effectively than any of these well-known antioxidant vitamins. For example, grape seed extract reduced free radical production by 70 percent, compared to only 47 percent, 18 percent, and 16 percent respectively for vitamins E, C, and beta-carotene. | | The results of one study suggest that grape seed is more effective than vitamins c and E in protecting smokers against cell damage caused by tobacco-induced free radicals. This is good news, in light of the fact that roughly one-third of all cancers in the United States are tobacco-related.12 Research also indicates that grape seed's antioxidant activity helps protect against UV damage, giving it a possible role to play in preventing skin cancer and premature aging.13
One of the main drawbacks of standard anticancer drugs is their negative impact on healthy cells. | | Protective effects of vitamins c and E, and a grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on smokeless tobacco-induced oxidative stress and apoptopic cell death in human oral keratinocytes.

This Exam Could Save Your Life
We hate to bring it up, but have you felt your testicles lately? If you haven't, you could be missing a chance to detect one of the more treatable and curable cancers.
Although testicular cancer accounts for only 1 percent of cancers in all men, it is one of the most common cancers to occur in guys in their twenties and thirties. If it is detected early, however, it is nearly 100 percent curable, says Ernest Rosenbaum, M.D., an oncologist at the University of California, San Francisco/Mount Zion. | | A study by Canadian researchers suggests that dietary supplementation of vitamins c and E can reduce your risk of cataracts by at least 50 percent.
Paul F. Jacques, Sc.D., an epidemiologist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, has found another link between lower antioxidant levels and cataracts. In one study, he observed that the risk of developing cataracts was five times higher in people with "lower levels of all types of carotene, including beta-carotene," in their blood.

See book keywords and concepts |  He recommends moderate amounts offish and lean meats as sources of protein, along with unsaturated fats and supplementation with vitamins c and E, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, chromium, and zinc. He also suggests small, frequent meals. A daily diet of three small meals, plus mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and bedtime snacks, is the ideal, according to Dr. Wright.
He cites the case of a 47-year-old man who had recendy been diagnosed with diabetes. | | Many antioxidants are nutrients like vitamins c and E, while some, like glutathione, are made in the body.
Cellular Oxygen Deficiency
One of the most provocative theories of cancer causation was put forth by two-time Nobel laureate Dr. Otto Warburg. He was a German biochemist who won his first Nobel Prize in 1931 for the discovery that oxygen deficiency and cell fermentation are part of the cancer process.64 According to Dr. | | Other useful supplements and herbs include N-acetyl-glu-cosamine, bovine and shark cartilage, EPA, and antioxidants such as pycnogenol, coenzyme Q10, devil's claw, cat's claw, yucca root, and vitamins c and E. "Vitamin C and bioflavonoids are extremely important for strengthening the connective tissues, especially in smokers who have depleted their vitamin C resources," says Dr. Lewis. He recommends taking 2,000-3,000 mg of each daily, in divided doses throughout the day. | | In order for the body to manufacture sufficient acetylcholine, sufficient choline is necessary (found in seafood, legumes, and lecithin), plus a number of nutrient co-factors, such as vitamins c, Bi, Bs, and B6, zinc, and calcium.

See book keywords and concepts |  Magnesium, selenium, zinc, coenzyme Q10, the B vitamins, folic acid, pyridoxine, and nicotinamide all work with vitamins c and E to protect omega-3 fatty acids and other fragile cellular biochemicals.
In summary I recommend on a daily basis the following:
• Vitamin E: 800 IU (International Units) per day of natural alpha-tocopherols (organic sources if affordable)
• Vitamin C: 1000 milligrams per day
• A good general multivitamin that includes magnesium, selenium, zinc, B vitamins (B12 and B6, folic acid, pyridoxine, nicotinamide), and coenzyme Q10. |

It appears that treatment with high levels of antioxidants can be helpful. The antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium. These antioxidants should be taken every day for the rest of your life.
There have been reports, beginning in the early 1970s, and particularly by Dr. Harold Millar in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that diets high in linoleic acid can be helpful for MS patients. |
Barrie R Cassileth, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Nutrition Biological dentistry includes the use of nutritional supplements such as magnesium, selenium, vitamins c and E, folic acid, and digestive enzymes. These are used to treat the presumed mercury toxicity, which is believed to be caused by traditional cavity fillings. The supplements are thought to assist the excretion of mercury from the body and to encourage healing of presumably damaged tissues throughout the body. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Based on his research, Mahadik suggests that the therapeutic benefit of EPA might be enhanced with additional supplements of vitamins c and E. If confirmed, the antioxidant boost could extend beyond schizophrenia into bipolar disorder, major depression, and the other psychiatric and medical disorders where the omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to be beneficial. |
Carl C. Pfeiffer
See book keywords and concepts |  The most important are vitamins Bi and B3 and the antioxidant nutrients, vitamins c and E and selenium.
Bi deficiency has long been known to result in brain damage. One of the most dangerous problems of excessive alcohol consumption is induced Bi deficiency. The condition is called Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. The symptoms include anxiety and depression, obsessive thinking, confusion, defective memory (especially for recent events), and time distortion?not so different from senility.
Vitamin B3, also known as nicotinic acid or nicotinamide, is crucial for oxygen utilization. | | Nutritional treatment is the answer
Several vitamins are noted for their effectiveness in reducing allergic symptoms. vitamins c and B6 are probably the most effective. Dr. William Philpott has used both of these vitamins intravenously to turn off allergic symptoms provoked by testing for allergies. The patient on adequate vitamin C will have fewer allergic symptoms. B6 should be given to the point of nightly dream recall, and the minerals calcium and potassium should be in plentiful supply in the diet. Zinc and manganese are also needed by the allergic patient. | | The most common deficiencies were in vitamins c, E, A, and B3.
Other studies have found the elderly to be frequently deficient in folic acid, zinc, iron, and, of course, calcium. To prevent the risk of heart and artery disease, many researchers have recommended low-fat diets and cutting down on dairy products and meat. This often leads to even worse iron, zinc, and calcium status, unless proper dietary guidance and supplementation are given. Many elderly people have an impaired sense of taste, leading to over-salting of food. |
Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra
See book keywords and concepts |  Sesame seeds, although containing some fat, are exceedingly high in vitamins c and E as well as calcium and protein. Tahini is a condiment made from ground sesame seeds; it can be used in salad dressings, soups, and can be combined with chickpeas, garlic, and lemon juice to make hummus, a Middle Eastern spread or dip. Tahini can be purchased at health food stores and in some supermarkets.
SOUPS AND SHIITAKE
Soups can be made with a wide variety of vegetables, beans, grains, and sea vegetables. | | In a study of over fifty thousand female nurses, those with the highest intake of vitamins c and A had a 39 percent lower risk of cataract formation.
4. Vitamin E has been shown to play a major role in the prevention of atherosclerosis in men and especially women. As presented recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, a 26 to 41 percent reduction in heart attacks occurred after a two-year period in which participants took 100 to 400 IU of vitamin E per day.
5. | | People seem to forget that it is at variance with over two hundred published population studies showing a lower risk in cancer and cardiovascular disease in people consuming antioxidants, vitamins c and E, and beta carotene. People forget also that even the authors of the Finnish study were skeptical of the results, stating "An adverse effect of beta carotene seems unlikely, in spite of all the statistical significance, therefore the finding may be due to chance. | | These substances also deplete the body of usable levels of B vitamins, minerals, and calcium. vitamins c and B are also important supplements for menopausal women in treating irritability and fatigue.
Women in HRT, whether using phytoestrogen or pharmaceutical estrogens, should take additional B vitamins, as HRT can negatively affect nutritional status. Weight gain has also been a frequent complaint of women on estrogen therapy, as are headaches, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and nausea similar to morning sickness. Calcium needs should also be monitored during HRT. | | Since honey contains several amino acids and large amounts of B complex vitamins, as well as vitamins c, D, and E, and several minerals, honey is not considered an empty-calorie food like sugar. And because it is twice as sweet as most other sugars, smaller amounts can be used. However, keep in mind that honey has a very high glycemic index; minimal amounts will go a long way.
Honey, which comes from the nectar of flowers, is collected in the bee's honey sac. One tiny worker bee produces approximately half a teaspoon of honey during its lifetime. | | Since the natural antioxidant defenses of the body can be overwhelmed during strenuous physical activity, free-radical scavengers such as glutathione, vitamins c and E, beta carotene, coenzyme Q10, and magnesium may be protective against free-radical damage. A healthy diet and targeted nutritional supplementation, then, can be a useful adjunct to a regular exercise program.
Glutathione, a polypeptide amino acid, is also a powerful free-radical scavenger and antioxidant. |

As a recipe ingredient, turnip's delicate flavor means it combines well with just about anything. Peel, dice, or shce the roots and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes. Or mash turnips with boiled potatoes and season with a little curry powder, or with onions, or with scallions, or with the spice of your choice. Turnip root flavors soups, stews, and casseroles. |
