 Though there are obvious benefits to the animal-sourced enzyme approach, there are also some potential problems. First, people who are vegan or vegetarian will not want to take this form of supplement, since it originates with animals that must be slaughtered to extract the raw material. Second, slaughterhouse animals often come from questionable sources and have questionable health and diets, and the use of steroids, antibiotics, and the like is prevalent in raising farm animals today. Thus, many choose to stay away from enzyme supplements from this source. |

 To simplify the information, I've created a list of twenty different mood and behavior problems and the supplements that can help. (You'll rarely have to take more than two to four of the supplements.) Following the list are several sections that describe the supplements in more detail.
The first group of supplements consists of vitamins, vitaminlike nutrients, and minerals. These neuronutrients are exceptionally safe, and it is virtually impossible to harm yourself with them. The same is true with the
59 second group of supplements, amino acids. |
| These supplements are more likely than ordinary niacin to raise liver enzyme levels, which may indicate problems with normal liver function.
Dosage: For schizophrenia, take 3,000 mg of vitamin B3 and 3,000 mg of vitamin C daily. You can get the cholesterol-lowering effect of niacin (not niacinamide) by taking 1,000 mg daily.
Vitamin B6
Principal use: To reduce irritability, anxiety, tension, depression, premenstrual mood changes, and a "climbing the walls" feeling. |
| Adults with similar problems will also benefit from magnesium along with B-complex vitamins.
Dosage: Take 400 mg of magnesium citrate daily. Higher doses may loosen bowels or cause diarrhea, although the risk can be reduced by splitting the dosage so that you take 400 mg in the morning and 200 to 400 mg later in the day.
Omega-3 Fish Oils
Principal use: To relieve depression, bipolar disorder, poor memory, impulsiveness, hostility, and physical aggressiveness, and improve thinking processes.
What else you should know: The omega-3s are among the most healthful of all dietary fats. |

 Because if a computer can effectively solve problems by sending little qubits into other dimensions and calculate problems in an infinite number of dimensions and bring the solutions back in this world and hand it over to us, that's mind blowing.
Yet that's happening right now at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in Boulder, Colorado. They're doing this stuff; they have computers that reach into other dimensions and bring solutions back into this dimension. They're doing this today. |

| Bucky does believe that a lot of social and psychological problems are related to people not touching one another.These days, even doctors are reluctant to touch patients, and many people in general hesitate to touch others because of the fear that their actions may be misinterpreted.
One of the funniest people I've ever met is Carl A. Hammerslag, M.D., a psychiatrist and author who lives and works in Phoenix, Arizona. In a presentation at the University of Arizona, he described how he and Hunter "Patch" Adams, M.D., once donned costumes and took a trip to a shopping mall. |
| How Josh Learned to Chill Out
Josh, whom you met in chapter 1, was totally stressed by work, drove recklessly, and had anger problems. When both his boss and his wife suggested counseling, they were in for a surprise.
Josh's counselor suggested that he adopt several stress-reducing and anger-releasing techniques (which will be described in later chapters). The counselor also recommended that Josh make the time to eat wholesome meals instead of coffee and doughnuts and burgers and fries. |

| This condition can lead to reduced absorption of supplemental minerals and bone density problems, including osteoporosis. žInsulin levels increase and fat is stored instead of being metabolized. This is due to the body mimicking what happens when malnutrition or starvation sets in. Interestingly, the body increases in acidity when malnourished; as a safety mechanism, insulin is overproduced, so that all available calories are stored as fat for future use. As a result, weight gain is common and weight loss becomes more difficult. |

| THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER pH BALANCE
Enzyme supplements help balance the immune system, but they can't solve all the body's problems, and some health issues can affect how well they work and how much they benefit our health. One such example is the body's pH balance.
The body must maintain a specific acid-alkaline balance to survive. This balance is measured in terms of pH. The term "pH," which actually stands for potential of hydrogen (or as a good friend of mine, Dr. |
| It is important to treat BV because it can increase a woman's risk for pelvic inflammatory disease, increase her susceptibility for contracting other diseases, and cause problems during pregnancy. Pregnant women with BV more often have babies who are born premature or with low birth weight. If you suspect you have BV, you should see your doctor.
BV is treated with antibiotic therapy. Enzyme therapy can be used to cleanse the body of the Candida overgrowth and deter its return. |
| Similar problems may occur if the body becomes too alkaline, though this is much less likely. Overall the symptoms that might occur if the pH in the body is out of balance include but are not limited to acid reflux, indigestion, weight gain, difficulty losing weight, poor metabolism, mineral deficiencies, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, frequent urination, hypoglycemia, hormonal imbalances, and sore muscles.
Some of the factors that contribute to this imbalance include stress, environmental pollution, too little or too much exercise, and the most important factor, diet. |
| Symptoms of prostate enlargement can include frequent urination, especially during the night; pelvic pain; burning; impotence; and difficulty starting and stopping urination. problems urinating can lead to urine remaining and becoming stagnant in the bladder, causing infection of the bladder and the kidneys. See also bladder infection and kidney stress.
Symptoms of prostatitis include fever, frequent urination accompanied by a burning sensation, blood or pus in the urine, urinary tract infection, and pain between the scrotum and the rectum. |

 People who require this remedy often have digestive problems and crave sweets.
Natrum Muriaticum is for hair loss accompanied by depression, a strong salt craving, and an aversion to being in the sun.
Phosphoric Acidum is for hair loss that is accompanied by fatigue and mental debility. Hair loss may come after grief or sorrow. There is often a craving for carbonated beverages.
Sepia is helpful when there is a hormone imbalance-related hair loss, as seen during menopause or after using the birth control pill. |

| But technology is not the answer to solving the problems of our civilization. So what is the answer, you might ask? Well, look; I'm no master of this. I'm still a student of all of it. But I've got some ideas that the answers are in the world of consciousness, spirituality, ethics and empathy. I think the answers are in things like being able to actually care about fellow human beings and act on that care, and making efforts to end the suffering in the world, rather than trying to maintain control over people all the time. |

| In some cases, sensorineural hearing problems are caused by other disorders, including diabetes, arteriosclerosis, lupus, and hypothyroidism. And again, sometimes nerves simply weaken with age and lose their ability to conduct sound effectively. However, recent research has shown that loud noises form free radicals that damage the inner ear. Antioxidants such as vitamin E, zinc, NAC, magnesium, and vitamin A appear to protect against this cause of damage, although they have not been shown to reverse hearing loss. |

| It is not the answer to the problems in our world. They say we have hunger and starvation in Africa. We have the technology to grow all the food we need. We have an abundance of food right here in the United States, that is somehow not getting to the mouths of the people over there who need it. We're paying farmers to not grow crops, so how can there be a food shortage? It's not a food problem. It's not a farming technology problem. It's a political problem. It's an issue of control. Who's controlling those people? Who benefits from scarcity? |
| You can have the best technology in the world, but you will still not solve the problems of this planet unless you can act with integrity, ethics, honesty, empathy, humility and compassion. These are the issues that really matter.
Frankly, if we mastered those as a world, we wouldn't need much technology. We really wouldn't. We have plenty of technology today to take care of all the basic needs of everyone; enough to put a home over people's heads, to feed the population and to cover basic health. |

| Others include recurring infections, hair loss, brittle nails, dry skin, menstrual problems, and high cholesterol levels. As you might imagine, hypothyroidism is often mistaken for other ailments, especially depression or even laziness.
Iodine deficiency was once the most frequent cause of hypothyroidism. Although today most Americans get plenty (and sometimes too much) of this trace mineral from iodized table salt, there still exists a significant minority who don't get enough or whose absorption is impaired. |

 Dangerous side effects from inhaling Ritalin and Adderall include: respiratory problems, such as destruction of the nasal and sinus cavities and lung tissue irregular heartbeat (heart arrhythmia) problems with circulation psychotic episodes increased aggression toxic shock death, in extreme cases
As Adderall is similar in its chemical makeup to methamphetamine, it poses additional dangers. Extended, continuous abuse can result in developmental problems concerning the brain and negative changes in brain wave activity [emphasis added]. |

| Other Bodywork Recommendations
Postural problems are at the root of many recurring headaches. See a chiropractor or an osteopath for a diagnosis and, if necessary, an adjustment of your vertebrae. Acupuncture can be very helpful for all three types of headaches.
Aromatherapy
Lavender and peppermint will soothe both head pain and stress. Add a few drops of either to a carrier oil, and massage the temples. You can also add these oils to a cold compress.
If your headache is brought on by sinusitis, use eucalyptus in a steam inhalation. The oil will open up your sinus cavities quickly. |
| Constitutional hydrotherapy can be used to help with acute gout and prevent further problems, due to its detoxifying qualities.
Other Bodywork Recommendations
Apply a hot or cold compress to the affected joint. To speed up the expulsion of uric acid, you can add juniper oil to the compress. Acupuncture can be very helpful for acute gout.
Aromatherapy
Juniper oil helps break down toxic deposits and carries them away from the body. Add it to a hot sitz bath or a compress, or dilute it in a carrier oil and use in a massage (but don't rub the affected joint directly). |

 He found that the patients' joint pain and inflammation problems actually became worse once they got on these anti-inflammatory drugs. He described the situation in his own words, stating that these anti-inflammatory drugs cause the very same symptoms they were marketed to prevent.
Prescription drugs often actually cause the very same problems they are designed to suppress or eliminate, and when they're not causing the same problems, they are causing other problems that need other prescription drugs. |

 And, likewise, anyone who thinks having Hilary Clinton as the next president is going to solve all these problems is also living out some sort of fantasy delusion. These problems cannot be solved by politicians; they can only be solved by revolutionaries.
The press, for its part, is increasingly irrelevant to reality. That's why all the smart people now get their information online. They read intelligent blogs, commentary sites and independent news articles. |

 As stated in the Consumers Union press release:
Clinical drug trials often show potential safety problems or serious side effects of a medication. Currently, drug makers are not required to make these trial results public, which allows them to play up positive aspects of a drug, and downplay safety problems.
Consumers Union is urging House and Senate negotiators to find a way to immediately make the data from completed clinical trials public, so that independent researchers can check it for accuracy. |

| When I interviewed Paul Chek the other day, he talked about seeing so many clients who had inflammatory problems (problems with inflammation), and who were on COX-2 inhibitors such as Vioxx.

He described the situation in his own words, stating that these anti-inflammatory drugs cause the very same symptoms they were marketed to prevent. |
| Prescription drugs often actually cause the very same problems they are designed to suppress or eliminate, and when they're not causing the same problems, they are causing other problems that need other prescription drugs. This creates a chain of prescription drug dependence, and I think one of the best examples of this is statin drugs.
Let’s say a person goes to their doctor with high cholesterol levels. The doctor says, "Well, you've got to be on a statin drug for the rest of your life. |
