The Truth About Vitamins and Minerals
Most people are unaware that they are consuming isolated synthetic chemicals masquerading as vitamins and minerals. They will get as much nutrition from these as from sucking a boiled sweet. Vitamin C is NOT ascorbic acid, Vitamin E is NOT Alpha tocopherol, and Vitamin A is NOT retinoic acid. Some of these chemicals consumers are [...]
Multivitamin-mineral supplements
Your body needs a very precise mix of 59 nutrients every day. A recent USDA study conducted (22,000 Americans) to find out how many of us actually eat all of these essential nutrients every day revealed that only 3% actually ate healthy, balanced diets daily. Of all those surveyed, not a single person got all [...]
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant
There is a lot of scientific investigation of the effects of antioxidant compounds going on currently. Probably the most leading-edge work is being done in Germany, and is being reported as a result of the DEKAN Study. Strangely enough, I have been told that prescribing ALA for diabetic neuropathy is becoming fairly common in Germany. [...]
Natural substance to reverse neuropathy
Nutritional deficiency and metabolic disorders may result in polyneuropathy. Deficiency of B vitamins is often the cause (eg, in alcoholism, beriberi, pernicious anemia, isoniazid-induced pyridoxine deficiency, *malabsorption syndromes*, and hyperemesis gravidarum). Polyneuropathy also occurs in hypothyroidism, porphyria, sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, and uremia. Diabetes mellitus causes several forms of neuropathy; sensorimotor distal polyneuropathy (most common), multiple mononeuropathy, [...]

Are vitamins causing diabetic symptoms?
Lately I’ve had this persistent, absolutely unquenchable thirst. Blood sugar problems exist in my family so I’ve got an appointment to have that possibility checked out, but I’ve recently started taking a multivitamin supplement, and I’m wondering if that might have something to do with it. Are there vitamins/minerals which can cause excessive thirst/ excessive [...]
When to Eat Food, Vitamins?
Let’s say you only ate one meal a day and only exercised intensively once a day. If the exercise always occurred at noon, when should the large meal be eaten for maximum assimilation of nutrients? If the meal only provided protein, carbohydrate, and a little fat, so a multivitamin was necessary, when should the multivitamin [...]
Micronutrients and genomic stability
Diet as a key factor in determining genomic stability is more important than previously imagined because we now know that it impacts on all relevant pathways, namely exposure to dietary carcinogens, activation/detoxification of carcinogens, DNA repair, DNA synthesis and apoptosis. Current recommended dietary allowances for vitamins and minerals are based largely on the prevention of [...]

Protein and diet
Most of us used to believe that our diets should consist of lots of protein, but today we realise that our diets should contain no more than 30 percent protein and that it should come from nuts, seeds and grains rather than from meat and dairy produce. Although protein is vital to life, a high [...]
