Elson M. Haas, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Most vegetables are predominantiy carbohydrate, with important fiber bulk. vitamins c and A, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron are the most commonly rich nutrients, along with some B vitamins and other trace minerals. The dark leafy greens, yellow or orange vegetables, such as squash and carrots, and red ones, such as peppers, are all high in beta-carotene, which produces vitamin A in our body. Many of the nutrients may be partially lost when cooking vegetables. | In The Complete Guide to Anti-Aging Nutrients, Sheldon Hendler recommends vitamins c and E, niacin, and copper to protect against the effects of x-rays and environmental toxins.
In addition to radiation, this program will also help against environmental pollutants, including a number of toxic chemicals, such as carbon monoxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide from the air, various pesticides and volatile hydrocarbons, food additives such as nitrites and sulfites, and toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. |
Textbook of Natural Medicine 2nd Edition Volume 1Michael T. Murray, ND See book keywords and concepts | Median intakes of key antioxidants indicate that the consumption of vitamins c and E, beta-carotene, zinc, selenium, copper and manganese are low for specific segments of the population, and far below the RDAs for some. Furthermore, the RDAs do not address contributing factors concerning chronic diseases, lifestyle choices or medical history, nor do they address the issue of mutually supportive roles of antioxidants. The immune system, in particular, requires ample antioxidant nutrients. | Schuyler W. Lininger, Jr. DC See book keywords and concepts | C (p. 341), E (p. 344), and beta-carotene (p. 268), reduced infections in elderly people, though vitamins without minerals had no effect.81 Burn victims have also experienced fewer infections after receiving trace mineral supplements in double-blind research.82 These studies suggest that trace minerals may be the most important micronutri-ents for enhancing immunity and preventing infections in the elderly.
The effects of eating fish and other dietary sources of omega-3 oils (p. 294) is discussed above in the nutritional section. In terms of EPA (p. | Andrew L. Stoll See book keywords and concepts | C and E to conventional antipsychotic treatments for schizophrenia and some other associated disorders. His results suggest that the patients who received adequate amounts of vitamin C—at least 1,000 milligrams per day—and vitamin E—at least 800IU (International Units) per day—fared better than the patients who did not receive these supplements.
Mahadik believes that both antioxidant vitamins are necessary. Vitamin E is soluble in fat. Since the cell membrane is made mostly of fat, vitamin E stays in or near the cell membrane. | John R. Smythies See book keywords and concepts | C and E after coronary bypass surgery [88]. The results were that in mild and moderate cases the vitamins led to a significant slowing down of the disease process in the arteries as shown by the X-ray pictures. However, this was not true in severe cases. The slowing down of disease was largely due to the intake of over 100 mg per day of vitamin E.
(27) A similar investigation was carried out on the carotid arteries in 1,187 people [21]. The investigators used ultrasound to measure in the living person the degree to which atherosclerosis had blocked the artety. | Rex Adams See book keywords and concepts | C and B. Every child improved under this plan, and there was one complete recovery. In another experiment, 151 patients with various nerve-muscle disorders were given wheat germ oil. Their progress was followed for twelve years:
* In five (three children and two adults) out of 25 patients with progressive muscular dystrophy, symptoms were arrested and moderate to marked improvement occurred.
* Three out of five patients with menopausal muscular dystrophy showed remarkable improvement. (Other than the wheat germ oil, these patients were not placed on any particular diet. | Mark Bricklin See book keywords and concepts | C, E, B6 and niacin or niacinamide—along with the usual antipsychotic drugs, their patients are free of tardive dyskinesia. In fact, they wrote, "we found to our astonishment that among our patient population (10,000 outpatients during a ten-year period; 1,000 inpatients at our hospital during a ten-year period) not one case of tardive dyskinesia developed." Although they suspect that vitamin B6 may play the primary role, they cannot be sure which vitamin or combination of the vitamins is responsible for preventing tardive dyskinesia. | John R. Smythies See book keywords and concepts | C and E, and various forms of cancer [55]. They estimated the strength of the protection and whether there was a consistent relationship between higher blood levels of the antioxidants and increased protection (called a "dose/response" relationship). The results indicated that the antioxidants provided good protection against cancer of the lung and upper respiratory and digestive tracts, some protection against cancer of the colon and cervix, but none against breast and prostate cancer. | Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | C, E, selenium, calcium, and zinc.
If you are prone to high blood pressure, ask your doctor about prescribing extra calcium and magnesium.
For morning sickness: Take two ginger capsules upon waking. Drink one cup of peppermint tea.
To prepare for labor: Drink one cup of raspberry tea daily.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
About 50 percent of menstruating women suffer from some form of premenstrual syndrome.
Symptoms range from mild to debilitating.
Diet, vitamin and mineral supplements, and in some cases, hormone therapy, can help reduce symptoms. | Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | C and E. He was also given the homeopathic remedy Lycopodium and had already changed to a primarily vegetarian diet.
"Over the next six months, the tumor size was monitored by the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test and rectal ultrasound," Dr. Kruzel recounts."Within the first 60 days, the PSA dropped from a high reading of 4.5 to 3.0 (a normal reading is 0.5-4.0), but there was no change noted on ultrasound. By the end of the six-month period, the tumor had decreased in size upon ultrasound examination and the PSA level had decreased to 2.6." According to Dr. | John Heinerman See book keywords and concepts | C and magnesium with trace amounts of some B-complex vitamins.
One cup of escarole or endive, cut or broken into small pieces, contains these nutrients: 41 mg. calcium, 27 mg. phosphorus, 0.9 mg. iron, 7 mg. sodium, 147 mg. potassium, 1,650 I.U. vitamin A, 2.3 mg. niacin, 45 mg. vitamin C and close to 312 mg. magnesium.
THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS
Lillian Franck came over from the "Old Country" many decades ago and settled down in New York City, where she has resided the past 52 years in relatively good health. | Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | C and E, coenzyme Q10, and selenium, has been shown to have a positive impact on heart disease.34 Chelation therapy, acupuncture, and herbal remedies such as hawthorn berries, Ginkgo biloba, garlic, and cayenne35 may also be effective in the treatment of heart disease.
