 Interestingly, L-carnitine, a vitamin-like compound and popular nutritional supplement, has been shown to overcome the negative effects that elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels have on immune function.25 This is probably due to carnitine's role in the removal of fat from the blood.26
Alcohol
Alcohol increases susceptibility to experimental infections in animals, and alcoholics are sugar, and fat. An overwhelming number of clinical and experimental studies lead us to the conclusion that any single nutrient deficiency can profoundly impair the immune system. |
| The study utilized the extensive dietary and nutritional supplement database collected in the Cholesterol Lowering Atherosclerosis Study. A total of 156 men aged forty to fifty-nine years who had previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery were studied. For two years, the subjects underwent randomized therapy, consisting of a cholesterol-lowering diet and either a cholesterol-lowering drug (colestipol-niacin combination) or a placebo in association with supplemental antioxidant vitamins. |
| We recommend three primary elements for a basic nutritional supplement program:
1. Take a high-quality multiple-vitamin-and-mineral supplement
2. Take extra antioxidants
3. Take 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil daily
The physical care of the human body involves the following four areas:
1. Breathing
2. Posture
3. Bodywork
4. Exercise
Breathing with the diaphragm promotes good health, higher energy levels, and decreased feelings of stress.
Posture is extremely important to the physical care of the body. |
| To overcome this conversion difficulty, it may be necessary to use a broader-spectrum nutritional supplement or to use injectable pyridoxal-5-phosphate.
Vitamin B6 Dosage Ranges In most situations, the therapeutic dosage of vitamin B6 is 50 to 100 mg per day. This dosage level is generally regarded as safe, even for long-term use. When using a dosage greater than 50 mg per day, it may be important to divide it into 50-mg doses throughout the day. |
| Some Practical Recommendations
There are three primary recommendations to help people design a basic nutritional supplement program:
1. Take a high-quality multiple-vitamin-and-mineral supplement
2. Take extra antioxidants
3. Take 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil daily
Recommendation 1: Take a High-Quality Multiple-Vitamin-and-Mineral Formula
Taking a high-quality multiple-vitamin-and-mineral supplement that provides all of the known vitamins and minerals serves as a foundation upon which to build. Dr. |

 Beta-1,3 D-Glucan
A dietary supplement called beta-1,3 D-glucan is the latest immune-enhancing nutritional supplement to enter the complementary medical arena. While relatively new to the natural foods and alternative medicine industry, beta-1,3 D-glucan has been extensively researched for its immune-enhancing ability.23 It's not a drug, vitamin, mineral, or herb; rather, it is a natural occurring compound, which is derived from the cell wall of Baker's yeast (Sac-charomyces Cerevisiae). |

 There are many questions that need to be answered before recommending the correct herbal or nutritional supplement.
• How does this supplement or herb interact with the type of chemotherapy being used?
• How much is needed and when should the supplements be started?
• Should administration of supplements occur during chemotherapy or should it wait until a few days or weeks after?
I am constandy finding more and more answers to these sometimes complicated questions, and hope this book can help the health care professional as well as the cancer patient. |

 This combination is similar to a European nutritional supplement called Daflon, and clinical studies have found that, in about 80 percent of all cases, Daflon relieves feelings of heaviness, stops burning sensations, and restores muscle strength. This supplement also prevents the development of varicose veins in people who do not have them but are at risk of developing them because of family history or obesity.
LM Try to avoid becoming constipated as this contributes to varicose veins. (See CONSTIPATION in Part Two.)

| There's another nutritional supplement, carnitine, that's useful in fighting atherosclerosis. It improves the burning of fatty acids and thereby improves the heart muscle's exercise tolerance. It also increases HDL levels while decreasing triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
Fish oils or omega-3 oils have been recognized as helpful in preventing the development of atherosclerosis. Eskimos and the Japanese, who eat diets that are high in fish oils, have lower rates of cardiovascular disease. The best natural source of fish oils is fish, particularly fatty fish such as salmon. |
| There's another nutritional supplement, an amino acid called carnitine, that improves the burning of fatty acids and thereby improves the heart muscle's exercise tolerance. Studies also reveal that in addition to helping to strengthen the heart muscle, carnitine aids in lowering total cholesterol and triglyceride levels and prevents irregular heartbeat. Carnitine is a substance natural to the body. As people age, they tend to become deficient in carnitine, which can have an adverse effect on the heart. |
| There is one nutritional supplement that can help gallstone sufferers. Lecithin has been recognized as a substance that will promote the ability of bile to keep cholesterol in solution and may prevent stones from forming.

| Following are some of the benefits of taurine as a nutritional supplement:
• It is an effective and key component to the detoxification of chemicals and heavy metals and, like NAC, can help the body manufacture glutathione when under free-radical stress.
• Along with magnesium, it can act as a natural calcium channel-blocking agent and help regulate blood pressure. Taurine has a protective effect on cardiovascular function.
• It is extremely helpful at inhibiting seizures, and therefore can help people with brain tumors who are on dilantin and suffering from many side effects. |

 People with Parkinson's disease often don't eat well to begin with, so a complete nutritional supplement program may be appropriate for some of them," she says.
Dr. Langston doesn't recommend vitamin E, but he doesn't discourage his patients from taking it, either. He takes it himself to prevent heart disease.
One doctor who believes that vitamin E may have antioxidant effects, Robert G. Feldman, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Neurology at Boston University Medical Center, suggests that people take 400 international units three times a day. |

| Beta-1,3 D-glucan is a safe and potent nutritional supplement with a nonspecific immune stimulation, which also possesses potent free-radical scavenging activity. I have used the supplement for a number of infections, cancers, and even asthma. Technically, it is a polysaccharide molecule made completely with glucose that is highly purified. However, this is different from energy-storing glucose containing polysaccharides because the connection between units is different. It is safe, and I use it in the treatment of all serious maladies. |

 In fact, it offers so many health benefits that it is now being marketed as a nutritional supplement in this country. Also known as neosugar or inulin, FOS is abundant in Jerusalem artichokes and is found in smaller amounts in many different fruits and vegetables. What is unique about FOS is that it is not broken down by digestive juices, like other sugars. Rather, it passes directly to the gut, where it is digested by "good" bacteria, thereby encouraging their growth.
The human body is host to billions of microorganisms—some good, some bad. |
| It is now available as a nutritional supplement in the United States. For nearly 20 years, researchers have monitored numerous patients taking coriolus, and the results are quite impressive.
In studies where coriolus is used in combination with other cancer treatments, such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, patient survival rates are significantly improved. Although the anticancer properties of coriolus are not fully understood, studies show that it enhances immune function. |

 At times such as these, you'll need a commercially available nutritional supplement to provide the necessary calories.
What foods should constitute these calories? The amount of protein will vary depending on the severity of your disease, your weight, and the type of dialysis procedure being performed. More is allowed for peritoneal dialysis than for hemodialysis. Determining your personal nutritional prescription is a very sophisticated and important skill that is best done by your dialysis team. |
