 It can include the use of food supplements, modulators of the immune system (vaccines, etc.) and mind-body techniques, such as meditation and guided visualization. All of these can be powerful and of great benefit to cancer patients. Thus, while I have isolated the herbal contribution for the sake of exposition, I do not believe it should be so isolated in actual practice. This is part of what we mean by "holistic" or "complementary" medicine. |

 Uses: The functions of the B vitamins are so interrelated that it is suggested they be taken combined in B complex food supplements. They are usually part of any multiple vitamin and are often taken in increased amounts for problems of stress, fatigue, anxiety and nervousness, insomnia, and hyperactivity. B vitamins are also used for many kinds of skin problems, especially dry or itchy dermatitis rashes, or cracks at the corners of the mouth. Some cases of vitiligo may be helped by B complex supplements, including higher amounts of PABA. |

 Probiotics (see Probiotics) are live microbial food supplements that beneficially affect the host by improving its intestinal microflora balance. Prebiotics (see Prebiotics) are nondigestible dietary substances, typically oligosaccharides and disaccharides, that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of a limited number of bacterial species already resident in the large intestine.
Synbiotics could improve the survival of the probiotic organism by providing the specific substrate to the probiotic organism for its fermentation. |

BLUEBERRY Bilberry
(Vaccinium corymbosum)
I once read an account of an explorer who, retracing Mackenzie's route to the Arctic ocean, found and feasted upon blueberries ten miles from the arctic circle. Imagine that.
Not too juicy and not too sweet, it is no wonder that the delectable blueberry is the second most popular berry after the strawberry. |

 If there are two health food supplements that I recommend you take on a regular basis, they would have to be Kyo-Green (1 glass) and Kyolic garlic (3 capsules) every day. Along with this, add one level tablespoonful of Pines' organic beet root juice powder to your emerald green chlorophyll drink. With that take one tablespoon of Rex's Wheat Germ Oil every morning before breakfast.(See Product Appendix for more details. |
| In 1995 at least two states had commenced legal action to restrict the sale of natural food supplements and drugs containing mahuang or ephedrine. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for Monday, March 20, 1995 (Section A, p. 14), the Texas Board of Health took steps to prohibit the further sale of food and dietary products containing ephedrine, except in naturally occurring ahiounts (such as in mahuang or Brigham teas). And the January 1995 issue of Health Foods Business (p. |

 These include the most important nucleic acids and their derivatives, lipids and their derivatives, all of the significant medicinal herbs, a variety of miscellaneous food supplements and a number of often exciting "biologicals," pharmaceuticals and other potentially therapeutic chemicals which are, increasingly, being used as adjuncts in nutritional and alternative therapies.
This book combines information in one place that was, previously, available, if at all, only in diverse texts and research papers. It is a compilation and analysis of the most exciting "medicine" of our time. |

| Extracts identical to these preparations are available in the United States as food supplements. The culturing, harvesting, and extracting techniques have been thoroughly standardized and require careful control.
GBE is standardized to contain 24% flavonoid glycosides, as these molecules represent a convenient analytical reference group. Although they play a major role in the pharmacological activity of GBE, other components are also important. The three major backbone flavonoids of the Ginkgo biloba flavonols are quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetine (see Fig. 88.1). |

 You can add natural food supplements to your diet to help replace those lost. The nutrients that specifically affect skin, hair, and nails are vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, biotin, silica, calcium, zinc, and the amino acid L-cysteine. Topical vitamin E has long been used to prevent scars. Research has shown that vitamin E can help prevent the formation of scars only if it's used when the scar is forming, because what it actually does is prevent the overgrowth of collagen that causes the scar. |

 The FDA's unrelenting war on vitamins, food supplements, and non-drug medicines is well known. Much of the agency's time and resources are spent each year warning the public about the dangers that lurk in the nutritional approach to health. When it comes to drugs, however, there is a more permissive attitude with the implied assurance: "Don't be overly concerned about harm from drugs. Take whatever we have approved and relax. You're in safe hands."
In July of 1971 the FDA issued a "Fact Sheet" on the subject of drug side effects. |
| But when it comes to food supplements and vitamins, the FDA swoops down like the avenging angel and becomes the super guardian of the nation's health.
When a woman takes the life of her unborn child on the theory that she may do what she wishes with her own body, she receives the sanction of the Supreme Court. But if she purchases Laetrile in an attempt to save a life—either her child's or her own—she has participated in a criminal act.
How much longer will the American people tolerate this outrageous double standard?

 The financial incentives are simply not there to launch similar investigations of substances and devices that cannot be patented—including herbs, vitamins, homeopathic remedies, dietary regimens, and other food supplements. There will inevitably be far fewer and far less elaborate clinical investigations of them, as well as of acupuncture, chiropractic, and all of the mind-body therapies. |
| There are far more health food stores than there were in 1990, and many carry complete lines of herbal products, food supplements, and homeopathic remedies. Even conventional pharmacies and chain drugstores have set aside whole sections for "natural remedies." Comprehensive training in acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, and naturopathy, or natural medicine, is widely available, and most major cities have introductory courses in these and other alternative approaches. |
| We also need to take longer and harder looks at some of the therapies that so many millions of people use and believe are effective but that have not been carefully studied: chiropractic, exercise, vitamins, food supplements, and herbs. |

 With the passing of relatively liberal legislation in 1994, herbal remedies are more readily available in the US but they can only be sold as food supplements. This lags behind developments in the rest of the world, where herbs are recognized as medicines in their own right. Nevertheless, with the growing number of herbalists in North America, and with the opening of many schools of Western herbal medicine, herbalism is now stronger and more popular than ever could have been dreamed of 10 years ago.

| Some plants have such high levels of vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients that they are considered "natural food supplements." Watercress (Nasturtium officinale, p. 237) is an example. It contains vitamins A, b,, b,, C, and E, as well as iodine, iron, and phosphorus. It also has antibiotic constituents that make it especially useful. Other herbs that are rich in vitamins and minerals are listed below.

| The danger to public health does not lie in organic food supplements or vitamins sold in health-food stores. It lies in the vast inventories of toxic man-made drugs. Nothing recommended by a health lecturer ever produced such tragedies as thalidomide babies. Five percent of all hospital admissions are the result of adverse reactions to legally acquired prescription drugs. |
| I couldn't take it any longer, so I stopped the chemotherapy, returned to my supply of Laetrile and food supplements, and quickly started feeling better. It took longer this time as I was fighting the effects of the chemotherapy as well as the cancer....
In a short time I could again do all my push-ups and exercises without tiring. Now, at 75 years of age [20 years after they said I had only a few more months to live], I still play racquet ball twice a week.1

In a few days I was feeling better, but on our third visit the doctor said that he could no longer treat me. He had been told that his license would be revoked if he continued to use Laetrile. He showed my wife how to administer the Laetrile, sold us what he had, and gave us an address where more could be obtained.
The next week I continued on the program and was feeling better each day. One afternoon the doctor from Ann Arbor called to ask why I had not returned for the chemotherapy. |

 All preventive therapies will include treatment of enzyme deficiencies and all food supplements will address our need for enzymes," states Dr. Lee.
The use of pancreatic enzyme therapy in the field of medicine has a head start because it already has been the subject of much research in Europe. And Dr. Loomis envisions, "If research funds were currently as available to study all types of enzyme therapy in the United States as they are in Europe, tremendous strides could be taken. The future could be particularly bright for plant enzyme therapy. |
| By using specific herbal food supplements and pancha karma (detoxification and purification) techniques, says Dr. Sharma, "free radicals and lipid peroxides are reduced." As it is especially important for those with heart disease to lower their level of stress, Dr. Sharma also recommends a program of Transcendental Meditation.

| Once he treats these problems with diet, food supplements, Chinese herbs, enzymes, and homeopathic remedies, the condition abates. One of Dr. Milne's patients came to him with medically diagnosed intractable thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease). EDS testing revealed that his body's energy system was congested. Using a combination of acupuncture, herbs, and homeopathic remedies to unblock the energy flow, Dr. Milne was able to resolve the problem to the extent that the patient's antimicrosomal antibody level, an indicator of thyroiditis, returned to normal.

| I may eliminate foods that for one reason or another seem to be deleterious; and I suggest vitamins, minerals, and other food supplements that make up for deficiencies or enhance functioning. There is convincing scientific evidence for most of these therapies, and hundreds or thousands of years of experience back up others. But beyond any of these specific prescriptions, I am aiming at something else: I want people to discover the great joy of eating and to reclaim the intuitive knowledge of what and when and how much is good for them to eat. |

| Furthermore, today's patient is likely to utilize not just conventional anticancer drugs, but other pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter medications, food supplements, and a variety of non-conventional approaches, herbal and otherwise. In the pre-war period, most patients just took Essiac—or nothing. The prevalence of polypharmacy makes any outcome almost impossible to interpret.
Another important factor, usually glossed over by promoters and enthusiasts, is that traditionally Essiac was simultaneously injected and taken orally. Today, it is only taken as a brew of some sort. |
| Schauss claims that it is "desirable" for patients to take various food supplements, one of which is "iron supplements with copper (if you do not eat meat)." Yet most experts believe that iron is contraindicated for cancer patients except in cases of frank anemia. In fact, scientists at Sloan-Kettering Institute and elsewhere have published over a dozen papers finking excess iron to lowered immunity and to cancer.
"Iron impairs several T-cell functions" they have written, impairing immunity. |

 I immediately started taking natural vitamin B food supplements plus other all-natural vitamins on a well-balanced high protein diet. Within ten days I felt less burning everywhere. As I continued my vitamin B intake, I began to notice with great excitement that I was regaining the pigment in my lower arms. My case was a bad one, but at this writing the natural pigmentation has formed small islands on my upper left arm from the wrist to the elbow. On the other arm these islands have fused from the wrist to the elbow and appear healthy and normal again.. .."
