Nuts in general contain a combination of various cholesterol-lowering plant food components. Here's the fact that got my attention, though: In virtually all studies that examined the impact of nuts in our diet, nut consumption has been associated with a reduction in coronary heart disease risk.
Each nut contains its own unique profile of phytochemicals, types of fatty acids, and types and amounts of fiber. It's no accident that the Portfolio study chose to use almonds. |
| Scientists attribute the DASH diet success in part to the fiber, potassium, magnesium, and calcium found in this combination of foods. Fruit and vegetables are rich in potassium, while dairy products provide a boost of calcium and magnesium. It makes sense that these minerals could help with blood pressure because a diet low in calcium, potassium, and magnesium and high in sodium is suspected of causing high blood pressure in the first place. But keep in mind that simply adding these minerals as supplements to the diet has not been shown to lower blood pressure effectively. |
| When researchers examined the factors in isolation, they found that each had only a small effect on blood pressure, but when combined, the story changed entirely. The combination of the three diets (high fiber, low sodium, and low fat) produced larger and highly significant decreases in blood pressure and body weight.
THE PART-TIME VEGETARIAN (A HEALTHFUL HAPPY MEDIUM)
I call myself a part-time vegetarian because I like to eat vegetarian meals often, including at restaurants—just to get some new ideas on making meatless dishes. |
| It's probably not one component in garlic and onions that holds the wealth of health benefits, either, but a combination of substances. For example, originally researchers focused on allicin, the compound that can be blamed for garlic's taste and smell. But now researchers are looking at the other sulfur compounds in garlic (including DADS and SAC, S-allylcysteine), as well as nonsulfur components like the phytochemicals saponins. |
| Keys first observed the health and habits of the people in Crete, researchers are still examining the Mediterranean diet, with some of the most recent studies finding that the magic seems to be in the combination of foods rather than one or two particular ingredients (like olive oil or wine). |

 The deadly diet pill combination known as fen-phen was an unapproved use of the combination of two drugs. For years doctors have commonly prescribed potent drugs for schizophrenia to patients with Alzheimer's disease, even though the FDA has never approved such use. Studies have shown these antipsychotic drugs, including Zyprexa and Risperdal, do not help patients with Alzheimer's. Instead, the drugs appear to increase their risk of death. |

| Many competing theories exist about the best food or diet combination to follow regularly. If any one person had all the answers, there would be a lot less disease in the world. So I will tell you what I have used, based on the biochemistry of the body, and on what has worked for me in my practice and my personal life. In the next few pages, I will cover the most damaging combinations of food, then I will present suggestions for five balanced meals I'm sure you will enjoy. |

 STAGE 5: combination Therapy: The physician may prescribe a tricyclic antidepressant with an SSRI or choose the following combinations thatmustbe taken simultaneously including, Wellbutrin plus an SSRI, or Serzone with a SSRI, or Wellbutrin with Serzone.
STAGE 6: ECT: (Electroconvulsive Therapy "Electric Shock"): If patient refuses ECT or does not respond, go to next stage or repeat an earlier stage with a different agent (drug).
STAGE 7: Other: Any antidepressant or combination not previously tried. |

 Many raw food proponents are now drinking a combination of raw almond milk and raw goat's milk kefir. That's a combination I'm enjoying, too. It's good to have a balance of both plant and animal-based milks, but only if they're from ethically treated, naturally raised animals who are not exposed to antibiotics, toxic chemicals or conventional veterinary care (which is all based on chemicals, just like human health care).

 It was one of my favorite herbal tincture products: A combination of twelve proven anti-viral herbs like cat's claw, olive leaf, astragalus, garlic and lemon balm. I found that this combination clobbered viruses with a barrage of synergistic phytochemicals, and no virus could resist its effects (it worked for me 100% of the time).
Now a new company has resurrected the formula and, in fact, improved it! The company is called Fitura (www.Fitura.com) and the product is "Power Immune. |

 In an ongoing study in the United States, patients received a combination of beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E; researchers witnessed a response rate of 60 percent. The abnormal precancerous cells reverted back to being normal cells.
4. In an ongoing multi-institutional U.S. trial, patients received only beta-carotene; they had a response rate of 56 percent.
5. A study done with male hamsters that had experimentally induced oral cancer considered using beta-carotene, vitamin E, glutathione, and vitamin C both in combination and alone. |

 The newer anticancer drugs are very expensive, especially when they are used in combination. The price of drugs for eight weeks of treatment can be $10,000 or more. If other drugs are added, this raises the cost of the medication alone to $20,000-$30,000. According to Johns Hopkins University Health Alert, "When these therapies improve survival by only a few months, this presents troubling issues for cancer patients, their doctors, insurers, and society as a whole. |

 Yet the issue of causation remains: whether it is endorphins or the immune system or other mechanisms or some combination of these, healing begins with what has been called a "meaning response."17
Let us conclude this section with an evaluation of the placebo's place in contemporary medicine. In previous chapters, we've mentioned the word this phenomenon on several occasions, but almost always as an afterthought or footnote to a study that assesses some therapy. Given its evident healing power that we reviewed above, why is the placebo considered at the margins of medicine? |
| Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, postmenopausal women took estrogen along with progestin, a combination that purportedly offered the benefits of the old ERT, for maladies ranging from hot flashes to osteoporosis, as well as protection from heart disease and breast cancer. Risks from this so-called hormone replacement therapy (HRT) were denied or minimized. A survey conducted in 1995 showed that about 38% of women aged 50 to 75 were using HRT. At the turn of millennium, some 55 million postmenopausal women were on HRT.30
Yet there were problems. |
| In each case, some combination of pharmaceutical companies, governmental regulatory agencies, and physicians acted, and in some cases continue to act, irresponsibly— even criminally.
Even so, we might hold to the notion that the system of drug development and distribution does great good in our world. Were it only so! |
| Preventive Services Task Force concluded that clinical trials have "failed to demonstrate a consistent or significant effect of any single vitamin or combination of vitamins on incident of or death from cardiovascular disease."6 At the same time, studies of vitamin A failed to show any efficacy in cancer reduction; indeed, unexpectedly, various studies seemed to show that supplements caused some increase in cancer.
There were two possible problems with the HOPE study. First, it was claimed that the time span of the study, 5 years, was too short. |
| The "TADS" (Treatment of Adolescents Study), the best study to address such questions, was designed to assess the effectiveness of SSRIs alone and in combination with talking therapies. The design was ambitious: 439 adolescents (age 12—17) with major depressive disorder were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: Prozac (chemical name, Fluoxetine) along with cognitive therapy, Prozac alone, cognitive therapy alone, or placebo.37 Treatment lasted twelve weeks and took place at thirteen academic and community settings between the years
2000 and 2003. |

 With iron deficiency anemia, the combination of iron supplementation with vitamin A supplementation is more effective than either supplement alone. Vitamin A seems to improve the iron status of pregnant women and children.
Copper has been found to assist iron absorption. Copper may assist the transport of iron from the liver to the bone marrow for red blood cell formation. Anemia is one of the clinical signs of both copper deficiency and iron deficiency.
Iron supplementation has been found to interfere with the absorption of zinc supplements, but only on an empty stomach. |

| In the meantime, more and more studies are being published to show that AIDS, which cannot be classified as a disease because every case displays a different combination of symptoms, occurs only in people who test HIV-positive. Before HIV was discovered, pneumonia, dementia, herpes-infections, weight loss, tuberculosis, Kaposi's sarcoma, chronic diarrhea, several lymphomas, yeast infection, and other opportunistic infections were considered separate diseases. |

 All of the subjects lost weight, but those following the high-protein diet, and those on the high-protein diet who exercised lost the most body fat and the least muscle. The combination of a high-protein diet and exercise led to a 21.4 percent reduction in body fat. In contrast, women on the high-carbohydrate diet who didn't exercise lost only 12.8 percent of their body fat.
• Protein helps to preserve muscle. Protein helps you to maintain muscle, the best tissue for burning sugar, carbs, and fats. In contrast, simple low-calorie diets lead to a significant loss of muscle. |

| To postpone the onset of the dreaded illness "menopause," which is often seen as a sign of rapid aging, and to reduce or eliminate the accompanying symptoms, doctors commonly prescribe a combination of hormones known as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) (Or at least they used to until the recent media scare). The drugs are also supposed to prevent major illnesses that have been linked with diminished hormone production, including osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke and senile dementia. |

Pyridoxine or vitamin B6 is a combination of six substances. Since most parts of this vitamin occur in bound form, analytic methods fail to determine how much of it is contained in food. It is also not possible to make any reliable statements about how much of it we require. Still the nutritional textbooks suggest a 1-2 u.g daily intake, which is pure guesswork. What is known, though, are its side effects.
Vitamin B6 is often used as a drug. Its use is indicated for depression, premenstrual tension, schizophrenia, and child asthma. |
| Although HIV and AIDS are two completely separate issues, they can occur in combination with one another:
1. In developed countries where homosexual intercourse, intravenous drug abuse, and blood transfusions are very common.
2. In Third World countries where wasting disorders such as "slims disease," tuberculosis, and malaria exist in epidemic proportions.
5. AIDS Drugs Cause AIDS
