See book keywords and concepts |  I never find lack of exercise, vitamin deficiencies, hormone levels or anything else to be a primary causative factor. So the solution to good health is obvious:
Problem Simplest Cure
Parasites Electronic and herbal treatment
Pollution Avoidance
I personally can appreciate this kind of oversimplification because there was a time when my wife and I used to laugh at my own oversimplification: standing on one foot and a closed heart. I wrote my book HeartHealth about the situation with our hearts
(that medicine pays no attention to). |

See book keywords and concepts |  Dieting and poor nutrition can play a role as protein and vitamin deficiencies can lead to hair loss. Pregnancy also affects hair growth. Many women experience extensive hair loss after childbirth, but hair does eventually return to normal thickness. Chemotherapy treatment for cancer can also cause severe hair loss. The best way to keep your hair healthy is to avoid or minimize the use of chemicals such as hair dye, and avoid the harsh heat generated by hair dryers and other styling tools.
Alopecia is the condition where a person suddenly loses his or her hair. |

Individualized Optimal Nutrition (ION) Profile; The ION Profile, from Metame-trix Medical Laboratories (see Resources), uses blood and urine samples to measure over 100 biochemical components. Specifically, ION checks for nutritional status in categories including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty and organic acids, lipid peroxides, general blood chemistries (cholesterol, thyroid hormone, glucose), and antioxidants. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Vitamin B6 deficiency should be considered when diagnosing SAD, particularly in the elderly, who may suffer from vitamin deficiencies. Take 250 mg daily early in the day. Do not take vitamin B6 within six hours of taking 5-HTP because it may interfere with the latter's conversion to serotonin. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are omega-3 fatty acids, also play a role in the synthesis on serotonin, and there is encouraging data about their use in depressive disorders. Take 700 mg and 500 mg a day respectively.

See book keywords and concepts |  However, nearly all researchers and physicians at the time made an incorrect assumption: they believed that the symptoms were the early signs of vitamin deficiencies. In truth, the deficiency diseases were actually the most serious and advanced symptoms of vitamin deficiencies, representing a near-total breakdown of normal gene function and biochemistry before death.

See book keywords and concepts |  Unfortunately, the shot wasn't heard until the 1920s, when diseases caused by vitamin deficiencies, notably of B vitamins, began killing millions of Americans whose diet contained a lot of white flour. I repeat, millions! Remember the old rule of twenty years? Its ugly head rears again. Within one generation during which white flour became the standard, disease and death were rampant. |

It can also be a reaction to some of the drugs used to treat cancer.
Numb or tingly arms or legs can signal hyperaldosteronism, an excess of the hormone aldosterone, which is made by the adrenal glands and helps maintain the salt and water balance in your body. |

Many headaches are caused by unknown or undetermined factors.
There are four common types of headaches. Tension headaches are caused by a tightening in the muscles of the face, neck, shoulders, and scalp or muscle spasms in these areas, usually due to fatigue or stress. | | For all of the above reasons, lipase is recommended therapeutically for high cholesterol, obesity, high triglycerides, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, nerve problems, fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, and skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis.
CARBOHYDRASES
Carbohydrases break down carbohydrates. This category is a bit more complicated because carbohydrates are a broad category that includes sugars, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and cellulose. |

The long-term maintenance of a gluten-free lifestyle is challenging. Individuals diagnosed with celiac disease benefit most from a team approach, which includes regular supervision by a physician, nutritional counseling by a dietitian, and access to support groups knowledgeable about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.

See book keywords and concepts |  Goldwag explains, "Years and years ago, when people suffered from severe vitamin deficiencies, some of the resultant diseases like pellagra and so forth were characterized by accompanying psychotic reactions. That is, the thinking process was the most obvious one to be affected by the vitamin deficiency. Simply providing the proper vitamin, in this case vitamin B3 or niacin, was the treatment. It cleared up the psychosis.
"Niacin is often used in much higher doses than the others in order to accomplish some of these changes. Niacin is a ubiquitous vitamin. |
Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The number of diseases that a physician can cure remains terribly small, limited for the most part to infections, vitamin deficiencies, and the rare cancer. Thus instead of curing, the physician must be satisfied with caring, and with reducing the suffering and loss of quality of life produced by a patient's symptoms. Your job as a patient is to find a physician who understands that this is his or her job. Such a physician will not reject you because you are "difficult" or because he or she does not understand your problem.
Finding such a doctor is not simple, however. | | In its worst form, celiac disease can produce weight loss with resulting malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies, and diarrhea. But occasionally none of these symptoms exist, and people may instead have fatigue, achy joints, or symptoms suggestive of IBS. The initial evaluation for this disorder uses a blood test that looks for antibodies against elements within the gut. If these tests are positive, your doctor will send you to a gas-troenterologist who will want to visualize and biopsy your small intestine. | | Despite all its advances, modern medicine can only cure vitamin deficiencies, bacterial infections and a few caused by viruses, and the rare cancer. We still can't cure viruses that range from the common cold to the ones causing SARS or HIV. But while most medicines are not curative, they certainly can help the patient, either by beating back the cause of the disease or by reducing symptoms. The new medicines for HIV disease are illustrative. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). |

See book keywords and concepts |  Giving vitamins to people with vitamin deficiencies can make their bodies even more deficient. (More details follow in Chapter 14.) Those lacking in Omega-3 fats don't necessarily gain them by eating these fats in the form of fish oils, fish or linseeds. People whose digestive functions have been impaired do not suddenly make better use of certain foods or nutrients simply because they begin to eat more of them.
Just because fish has good things in it does not mean that the body can actually absorb and make use of them. |
Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey
See book keywords and concepts | | All patients should be screened for the nutritional deficiencies that can accompany this malabsorptive disorder, such as iron deficiency anemia and fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies (vitamins A, E, 25-hydroxy-D, and a prothrombin time to check vitamin K status). Adult patients should also be monitored for the common extraintestinal complications, including osteoporosis, neurologic complaints, and the development of other autoimmune diseases, especially of the thyroid and liver [102, 103]. |

See book keywords and concepts |  We have explored most causes, except the mineral deficiencies, vitamin deficiencies, and metabolic toxins, which are the subject in Chapter 4. Minerals play a very important role, and we see specific deficiencies of magnesium, manganese, zinc, chromium, vanadium, and potassium in diabetic patients. These deficiencies could be a result of the blood hyperosmolality and the minerals being lost with excessive urination, in an attempt to get the sugar out of the system. There may be other reasons as well. | | Other underlying causes include increased consumption of cooked animal fats and trans fats, heavy metals, agrochemicals, vitamin D deficiencies, mineral and vitamin deficiencies in general resulting from a diet of nutrient-poor processed foods, and hormonal imbalances and deficiencies such as a deficiency in testosterone. Lifestyle habits also play a role—obesity, emotional stress, inadequate sleep, and lack of exercise. Dr. Cleave's cross-cultural work, however, highlighted the main issue, which was an excess increase in the consumption of white sugar.

See book keywords and concepts |  The cause for a phenomenon with the magnitude of 24 million people is not likely to be simply vitamin deficiencies or food allergies; it is most likely a stressful, overextended lifestyle and a tamasic diet high in white sugar and other imbalancing stimulants.
Hypoglycemia is the result of living the ail-American dream of moving faster, of wanting bigger and better things, and of a highly competitive and aggressive lifestyle that is out of harmony with our Inner Self and Mother Nature. To fuel this lifestyle, we eat processed foods and plenty of instant-energy white-sugar foods. | | We need to observe closely if any mineral or vitamin deficiencies occur in the dietary shifts and with fasting. If you need help, your holistic physician or nutritionist can determine deficiencies. Until further research proves otherwise, the author recommends all vegans take Bi2 supplementation.
The key to stage III and IV supplements is that they contain the living vibration of the nutrient so that they have optimal resonance with our living cells. |
Walter Last
See book keywords and concepts |  Unfortunately, antibiotics destroy these essential bacteria and can cause vitamin deficiencies. For this reason, use fermented foods or cultures containing acidophilus and bifidobacteria and take B-vitamin supplements whenever you take antibiotics. Other widespread conditions causing persistent vitamin deficiencies and dependencies are deprivations during fetal development and, in later life, acute and chronic infections, parasites, and inefficient metabolism. |
Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton
See book keywords and concepts |  This injury appears to be caused by many factors, including infection (viral, fungal, and bacterial), various different mineral and vitamin deficiencies, and allergies or sensitivities to foods, pollutants, animal products, plant products, and chemicals.

In 1939, which might seem like an eternity ago, Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Nobel laureate who discovered vitamin C, proposed that the medical community shift its focus from determining minimal or adequate vitamin levels to gauging the optimal levels of vitamins that people should consume. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Are there other diseases or vitamin deficiencies that we should be testing as a higher priority? Because you could do a lot more good in this country and dramatically reduce health care costs by testing for nutritional deficiencies like magnesium, zinc, vitamin D or the B vitamins. If you want to talk about public health, let's talk about public health that works. Let's talk about being able to prevent diseases with a nickel's worth of nutritional supplements per day per person. Because that's what you can do with simple vitamins and minerals. |

See book keywords and concepts | | One part of the brain dysfunction may be related to certain mineral and vitamin deficiencies caused by a high-animal-protein diet. The schizophrenic condition might be related to B3, B6, and magnesium deficiencies created by a high-meat-protein diet.7 A high-animal-protein diet includes twenty times more phosphorous than calcium, which depletes calcium in the system, resulting in osteoporosis and tooth decalcification.8 The cited data strongly suggest that most people eat too much protein, and that excess protein, especially if it is meat protein, is detrimental to our health. |
Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It should be noted that certain vitamin deficiencies are particularly common with chemical toxicities. For example, vitamin deficiency has been observed in 60 percent of all chemically sensitive individuals. When B6 is low, taurine is also deficient. Taurine plays a major role in detoxification and deficiencies result in extreme sensitivities to chlorine, hypochlorite (bleach), aldehydes, alcohols, solvents, and ammonia. It is preferable to take pyridoxal 5-phosphate than pyridoxine, since the former is the active coenzyme form. |

However, watch out for the notion that it takes some miraculous combination or secret blend of vitamins to restore hair, because that's where the myths abound, especially on Web sites selling supposedly special hair-growing pills. In reality, the vitamins believed to be responsible for hair growth are the B vitamins, with biotin arguably the most important. |
