See book keywords and concepts |  It may help maintain levels of some other antioxidants, principally vitamins c and e. Many of these effects have only been demonstrated in vitro.
In one of the few clinical trials of pycnogenol, the substance significantly inhibited smoking-induced platelet aggregation, more significantly with doses of 200 mg than with doses of 100 or 150 mg of pycnogenol. A single 200 mg dose of pycnogenol was reported to significantly inhibit platelet aggregation for longer than three days in smokers. |
Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  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. | | Vitamin A and beta-carotene, vitamins c and e, glutathione, and selenium are all important antioxidants that help protect us from disease. For example, a recent study revealed, that smokers who were low in beta-carotene had an increased lung cancer rate than those with higher or supplemented levels.
Cigarette smoke is a complex mixture including chemical carcinogens known to everyone. Although exposure to cigarette smoke does not invariably cause cancer, it is irritating to everyone. | | About 20,000-30,000 IUs daily, preferably as beta-carotene, may be the best range, especially for those of us with some levels of anxiety and stress. If vitamins c and e are used, slighdy lower amounts of A are needed, since C and E help prevent the loss of stored vitamin A.
The upper intake, including diet and supplemental vitamin A, ranges from 50,000-100,000 IUs per day for short periods of a week or two. However, these amounts often produce some side effects over time. If no body deficiency or increased body needs of vitamin A are present, 50,000 IUs can cause problems. | | Other nutritional qualities of the fruit and vegetable fiber foods seem to help inhibit cancer formation as well. vitamins c and e, beta-carotene, and selenium, plus the plant sterols and antioxidant phenolic compounds like bioflavonoids from foods such as berries and citrus fruits, all seem to be beneficial factors. The cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage, seem to have other factors such as sulfhydryl-containing molecules besides the fiber that may protect against the development of cancer.
Cancer of the breast and a high-fat diet have been shown to be related for some time. | | Important extra support for men may come from B vitamins, vitamins c and e, beta-carotene, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc.

Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  I recommend one that includes alpha- and betacarotene, vitamins c and e, and selenium.
Magnesium: Take 500 mg. daily.
Calcium and vitamin D: Postmenopausal women should take 1500 mg. of calcium daily with 400 IU vitamin D. Men over age 50 should take 1000 mg. of calcium daily with 400 IU of vitamin D.
Crapeseed extract and green-tea extract combination: Take two to three tablets daily.
Acidophilus: One tablespoon of acidophilus powder or one capsule one-half hour before each meal.
Pain
Pain is the symptom that drives more people to seek medical attention than any other. |
Michael Castleman
See book keywords and concepts |  In addition, as this book is written, the FDA seems to be warming up to approving large doses of beta-carotene and vitamins c and e for prevention of cancer and heart disease. Currently the RDAs and DVs remain unchanged, however, which leaves many consumers confused about the safe limits of sensible supplementation.
David Sobel, M.D., regional director of patient education and health promotion for the Kaiser Permanente health maintenance organization in Oakland, California. |
Neal Barnard, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  C and E, and the mineral selenium, all of which have been shown to bolster immune function.59-61 This does not mean that you have to eat enormous amounts of vegetables to see a difference. The amount of beta-carotene shown to boost immune function was 30 mg, the amount in two large carrots.62
Not surprisingly, vegetarians again have a tremendous advantage. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg took blood samples from vegetarians and from nonvegetarian volunteers working at the cancer center. They tested their white blood cells' ability to knock out cancer cells. |
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. |

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. |

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.
Rebuilding Brainpower
As a person ages, a number of changes typically occur that can impair many aspects of mental function, such as perceptual speed, reaction time, visual-spatial abilities, fluency with words, certain memory functions, and some types of attention. |
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. |
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. |
