 Then we have essential Fats for Pets. Again, I think that the research has shown that dietary lack of essential fats constitutes a major deficiency. People and pets are very deficient in essential fats.
Food manufacturers take them all out, because they oxidize. So people and pets become very deficient. Every cell membrane and every membrane of every organelle in your body is made of fatty acids, these essential fatty acids. How could you possibly function without them? Ninety-five percent deficiency is found. |

 If it could be patented and sold as a prescription drug, it would probably be one of the most popular and exciting prescription drugs released on the market in years. The essential fatty acids in this product can lower total triglycerides, lower high cholesterol, reduce the buildup of plaque or atherosclerosis, and dramatically reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke. The innate effects of its naturally-occurring oil essentially give you healthier blood and a healthier cardiovascular system. |
| Astaxanthin
Salmon Essential's other ingredient, astaxanthin, is an exciting antioxidant I've been calling 'Vitamin X.' As the world begins to learn more about it, I think people are going to be very excited about it, too. Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant that's extracted from microalgae. It is grown and harvested in large water farms (aquaculture) in Kona, Hawaii.
I've toured this particular facility of Mera Pharmaceuticals, and have seen their Astaxanthin production and quality control. |

 It has been held by [men and women] who report the same insights and teach the same essential doctrine whether living today or six thousand years ago, whether from New Mexico in the Far West or from Japan in the Far East."
This is really quite remarkable. I think, fundamentally, it's a testament to the universal nature of these truths, to the universal experience of a collective humanity that has everywhere agreed to certain profound truths about the human condition and about its access to the Divine. . . .
So exactly what are some of the essentials of the perennial philosophy? |

 It is common medical knowledge and common public belief that a balanced diet is essential for maintaining health. Among these essential nutrients are vitamins. During the 1990s, there was a wide acceptance that large supplementary closes of vitamins would not only maintain health, but also mitigate disease.
Vitamin E was supposed to be the poster child. By the mid-1990s, there was considerable epidemiological data which showed an inverse risk between vitamin E intake and cardiovascular risk; the substance seemed similarly active in cancer prevention. |

 In fact, you need to consume some amount of cholesterol to be able to manufacture essential hormones.
Today, there's a lot of talk about healthy fish oils and cod liver oil. What is cod liver oil but the oil that's squeezed out of the liver organ of a codfish? In the same way, cow brain oil, if there were such a product, would be the oil squeezed out of the brain organ of the cow. They are essentially the same concept, and they both produce very healthy oils from a nutritional point of view. |

 Your body needs essential fatty acids and you are programmed to keep eating until you get them. If you're only eating trans fats, you'll never feel fully satiated, because your body will never get the fatty acids it needs for essential function. Since cancer needs high blood sugar and low oxygen levels, a person with lots of belly fat who just can't seem to put down those trans fat cookies or crackers (also loaded with flour and simple sugars) presents the ideal environment for the development of cancer. |

 Manganese is not the only metal that can be essential for life and yet at the same time can paradoxically act as a poison when present in too high a concentration. Copper, for example, also serves as a cofactor for important enzymes, but high levels are toxic to both the brain and the liver. Iron, too, can poison the liver as well as the heart when too much is present.
Fot essential nutrients, for which a balance between not too much and not too little is so crirical, the body tries to avoid problems of overload and deficiency through an elaborate system of checks and balances. |

 When I was doing a design project for an all-in-one meal replacement, we were trying to get everything you would need, but essential fatty acids are hard to get in one of those kinds of products. Flax is too big and would oxidize. I did not want to grind the flax down, because that would make the product have a shorter shelf life. Then chia came along. These little seeds fit beautifully into the matrix of the powders. You could chew on it. You could eat it. It did not settle or sift out. It was kind of a perfect mix. It was for the essential fatty acids that we were doing it initially. |

 A leading article in the medical journal Lancet asked why it should be wrong to give a placebo when the essential modern therapeutic means have no better effects than placebos. It should be the primary aim of medical training to produce a warm-hearted, honest and optimistic doctor who listens to his intuition and feels both compassion and love for his fellow human beings. Medical students should be tested for these basic human characteristics. Those students who are unable to pass this test should be prohibited from practicing medicine. The doctor's very presence can work as medicine. |

 Whilst coral reefs have a vital role in protecting coastlines from storms and nurturing fisheries, no one can reasonably claim that pikas, proteas and harlequin frogs are essential for global economic prosperity. Their value is intrinsic, not financial. But the world will still be a much poorer place once they're gone.
Hurricane warning in the South Atlantic
With all the headlines about hurricanes hitting the United States, there is one storm that stands out above all others in the way that it caught the scientific community off guard. |
| Maize is one of the world's great staple crops, essential for household income and food security in many developing countries. This is where the problems begin. In Central and South America, the region where maize was first cultivated for food by the ancient Maya, losses are projected in every country except Chile and Ecuador. These losses may be offset by technological improvements in the future, but subsistence family farmers will be less able to adapt than big mechanised growers.
The majority of Africa is also expected to experience big declines in yields. |

 In one case, a mineral, iron, and an essential amino acid, tryptophan, are both needed to synthesize niacin, vitamin B3. The best way to avoid a deficiency of B vitamins is to eat a varied diet of fresh fruit, an abundance of vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and other food as desired. Some of these B vitamins can also be made by friendly bacteria in a healthy colon and absorbed into circulation. |

| Whatever the rights and wrongs of this particular case, it is clear that some way of storing river water is essential to balance out seasonal changes in flows. This is particularly the case with rivers in the US west, which reach a peak with the early summer snowmelt and then decline later in the summer when human demand is highest. The problem of declining snowpack was discussed in the previous chapter, where we saw that west coast states face big changes in river run-off and water supplies to cities and agriculture as the world warms. |

| Orotic acid has not been proven to be essential for human nutrition so it is not officially a vitamin. Its functions are similar to vitamin B12 and it enhances the usefulness of vitamin B12 and folate. Many of the vitamin-like effects of orotic acid are undoubtedly due to its role in RNA and DNA synthesis. Orotic acid acts as one of the best mineral transporters. It is able to transport minerals such as calcium though the cell membrane and directly to the mitochondria.
PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA)
Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) is sometimes referred to as a B vitamin. |
| L-carnitine is a derivative of the essential amino acid lysine. L-carnitine was named after meat (carnus) because it was first isolated from meat in 1905. Although it is not officially a vitamin, carnitine has been called vitamin By.
L-carnitine is important in energy metabolism. It assists activated fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. It also assists in transporting metabolic debris out of the mitochondria.
L-carnitine synthesis in the body requires several nutrients to be successful. Needed for synthesis are methionine, lysine, iron, vitamin B6, niacin, and vitamin C. |

| The mind/body connection will be discussed at great length at the beginning of this book because it forms an essential part of the endeavor to improve our physical and mental health.
The journey to develop a permanent state of health and vitality has very little to do with treating disease, Yet treating illness is the main focus of conventional medicine. True healing is about reestablishing the intimate connection that exists between a healthy body and mind. It would be foolish to try combating darkness in a room when all we need to do is to switch on the light. |

STEP 1, BREAKING DOWN BLOOD SUGAR
The first step starts with glycogen, which, as you may recall, is the storage form of glucose, blood sugar. This first step breaks the glycogen down to glucose. This is done with the help of vitamin B6 (PLP). Next, glucose is changed into pyruvate. This is done with the assistance of niacin (NAD). |

| The very fact that the placebo effect has to be included as an essential part of every study shows that the subjective state of the patients in both groups remains the major determining factor in the outcome of the experiment. If the placebo group has a success rate of 35 percent and the drug group has a success rate of 40 percent, it is obvious that at least 35 percent of the drug group's success is attributable to the placebo effect and the drug itself causes only 5 percent improvement. |

 That is, most medications will rob your body of essential nutrients.
WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK
As a doctor who prescribes both medications and nutrients, I was compelled to write this book after seeing case after case of nutrient loss in patients due to prescribed medication. Neither the patient nor their doctors were aware of the cause of the increasing symptoms. Rather, the person was told that "it's part of the illness," and/or was given an additional drug or two to deal with the new symptoms. My patient Kathy's case is a perfect example of what I mean. |
| AN INTRODUCTION TO DRUG-INDUCED NUTRIENT DEPLETION
Supplement Your Prescription will, in particular, educate you about a lesser-known side effect of the most commonly used medicines: the many ways in using one or more of them can rob your body's supplies of nutrients that are essential to your health.
This side effect, which is an issue with a surprising number of the most oft-prescribed drugs, doesn't hit the headlines too often; it's usually not dramatic or immediately noticeable. |
| Nutrients are essential to the metabolic activities of every cell in your body. They are used up in the process and replaced by new nutrients that you take in as food or supplements. Some drugs deplete nutrients by speeding up the rate at which this occurs, examples being antibiotics (including penicillin and gentamicin), and steroid drugs like prednisone and colchicine (used to treat gout).
4. Blocking of nutrients' effects or production at the cellular level. |

| Areas that still receive snow in winter may help to smooth the seasonal change with gradual snowmelt, but major engineering works such as dams to hold winter rains would become essential to irrigate any new crops.
It may also become too hot in continental climates - with their annual extremes of temperature - during the summer months to grow arable crops. (Siberia, after all, is already hot enough in summer to see extreme heatwaves and forest fires. |

| To make a real difference in life, we need to employ our vast potential of energy, creativity and intelligence for the truly essential issues in life and for generating a profound sense of happiness. One of the keys to unleash our endless potential is the body itself.
The body is constantly engaged in turning over its cells, which in itself is a miraculous and extremely complex process, unmatched by anything man has ever created {please note that whenever I use the terms "man " or "mankind, " I am referring to both genders). |
