 The brochure went on to say that Ludwig van Beethoven, Alexander Graham Bell, and Albert Einstein all had suffered from ADHD, information the writers attributed to a website selling a nutritional supplement.
Demographically, the highest users of drugs like Ritalin are ten-year-old white boys, who had long been featured prominently in advertisements by the stimulant manufacturers. Novartis executives decided, however, they would not forget the girls. They saw girls as a market that had not yet been fully tapped. |

 The inset "Choosing Supplements" on page 34 offers some suggestions about what to look for in a nutritional supplement.
You can safely use the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants recommended in each chapter. The doses offered are safe and won't harm you even if you use them with your medications. When it comes to herbs and amino acids, more care is required, especially when you are taking medications. Consult with your pharmacist and physician as you work out your total supplement plan. |
| As you do so, make sure to add folate in the form of leafy greens, other vegetables, fruit, and a nutritional supplement.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
This nutrient, like the other B vitamins, plays multiple roles in the human body, supporting about 100 different enzymatic reactions and helping to make both mood-boosting (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine) and calming (gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA) neurotransmitters.
Vitamin B6 is also needed to "burn" proteins for energy; for the transport of oxygen around the body; and for the building of another B vitamin, niacin. |

 Thermogenic Formulas
Herbal formulas containing mixtures of caffeine and ephedrine were once the most popular weight-loss products in the nutritional supplement industry. There was no question that these products worked to promote diet-induced thermogenesis and weight loss, but they were abused by some and side effects were common. When ephedrine was linked to several deaths due mainly to abuse, it ultimately led to the banning of ephedrine-containing supplements by the FDA. |

 The purpose of this study was to ascertain the benefits of a nutritional supplement for bipolar disorder. Eleven participants aged 19 to 46 years with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder received high doses of a broad-based supplement of dietary nutrients, primarily chelated trace minerals and vitamins. After six months, symptom reduction ranged from 55 percent to 66 percent, and the need for psychotropic medications decreased by more than 50 percent. |

 If you are under a lot of stress on a regular basis and find yourself routinely lacking energy, you may want to consider adding a nutritional supplement designed specifically to aid your adrenal glands so they can handle the load. Stress hormones such as Cortisol can run amok and impair not only your metabolism but the workings of your overall bodily systems in general. For this reason I recommend looking for an adrenal support supplement formula. |

 We started Michelle on an aggressive nutritional supplement program in spite of her doctor's objections. Michelle was a trooper and took her supplements faithfully. Her treatments began, and she struggled through them. She did become fairly sick even though she was taking the supplements. Because the treatments were exceptionally strong, there was serious concern that she could actually survive them. But brave little Michelle made it through, and the tumor shrunk significantly. |
| Another reason doctors haven't accepted the nutritional supplement idea as good preventive medicine is that most practicing physicians don't fully understand the cause of degenerative diseases. Those who do often feel this is an interesting subject for the biochemist and scientific researchers, but it has little in the way of practical use in clinical medicine. An apparent chasm exists between the research scientist and the practicing physician. |
| He heard me speak at a local meeting, and soon after began the nutritional supplement program I recommend to my patients with MS. Within months he began to feel better. The numbness and weakness in his legs began to improve.
Today, about three years later, Ross believes that he has fully recovered. The strength in his legs is back to normal, and he has absolutely no numbness in his legs, feet, or lower back. He is back to roping and again feels safe in the saddle. No doubt his fellow roping competitors are back to cringing when Ross pulls up to the rodeo grounds. |

 Decide on your nutritional supplement program, and stick with it until you get results.
Stay focused. Don't be like the thirsty dying man in the desert who keeps changing directions on the advice of each new person he meets when he is trying to find the oasis.
ACHIEVING RESULTS
When working to eliminate disease conditions and regain health, keep in mind that each individual is different. Just because someone experienced great results in a certain amount of time does not necessarily mean everyone will. |

| The important aspect in Matt's story was the fact that he started this aggressive nutritional supplement program early in the course of his disease. I have presented a number of clinical stories in which patients were actually able to redeem their health after their disease had progressed fairly significantly. I hope that more and more people will start to supplement their diet before they even get sick, and then become more aggressive with optimizers as soon as they realize they have a major illness. A supplement program can't hurt—it can only help. |
| Within a few months of beginning a nutritional supplement program, Peggie could already begin to feel and see improvement. She was less dependent on her NSAIDS and was now able to do more than she had for years. She became much more active and felt less pain. In fact she even overcame her fears and went snow skiing for the first time in years.
Most exciting for Peggie, however, was when she returned to her physician and had repeat x-rays taken of her knee. Her physician was amazed when he compared the current x-rays to those taken two years prior. |

 I've often described this situation as nutritional supplement manufacturers not being allowed to tell the truth about their products. And even looking at your materials, at the end of every presentation: "This is not intended to diagnose or prevent any disease. This has not been evaluated by the FDA," and that's the current regulatory environment. I hope it evolves.
Amazon John: Yeah, we have to be very generic in what we say and at the same time, we are allowed to help people get access to publicly available documentation of studies and things on what individual herbs have done. |

 Faced with overwhelming evidence of the health benefits of nutritional supplement support, they are changing their tune.
In a rather astounding recent article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, it stated, "It appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."337 The surprising aspect of this article is that this is mainstream medicine telling the world that even basic vitamins and antioxidants can prevent serious disease.

 One company claims to have particle size so small that if they could actually produce those, they should be in the nanotechnology industry, rather than the nutritional supplement industry. There are no particles that small in silver solutions.
I'm doing more research on this, but in the meantime, one product I can recommend is by a company called Invision. It's called Silver 100, and you can go to the website http://www.silver100.com. This company makes an outstanding silver product that I have used and researched; I have checked out this company. |

 But I think the primary reason is because it creates a product that has energetic qualities that far surpass any other commercially available nutritional supplement I've ever encountered. What that means is that these products have the ability to alter the way your body metabolizes energy.
Your body is made of energy
If all of this begins to sound a little bit New-Agey, don't fret, it's actually easy to understand from a technical point of view as well. That's because your entire body is nothing but vibrating energy. |

 And out of all of that research, the most astounding thing I've learned is not about one particular herb, or the healing effects of some nutritional supplement, but rather that the best and most powerful healing strategies – I call them health habits – are available to you free of charge.

 I continue to be a strong proponent of this nutritional supplement, because it contains so many of the food groups that we know are now beneficial to health. It not only prevents chronic disease in a huge way, but when taken in very large doses as a food, I believe it can even help treat and reverse chronic disease.
Think about what's in it. |

 Companies can use stevia in nutritional supplement products, because they aren't foods, but that's a different story. So here in the Organic Food Bar, they are using agave nectar, which is an outstanding choice, perhaps the best choice they could have turned to in this food bar.
The next ingredient is organic brown rice protein. Wow! I couldn't have chosen a better ingredient if I were formulating a line of food bars myself. This is my number one recommended source of dietary protein. |

| Although alfalfa, which is known as lucerne in many parts of the world, is grown primarily as forage for livestock, the leaves are also dried, ground into a powder, and compressed into tables for use as a nutritional supplement for humans. Alfalfa seeds, however, are the part of this plant that provide the food with which we're most familiar—alfalfa's threadlike white sprouts with their tiny green tops and mild, sweet flavor.
HISTORY
Most likely planted in southwestern Asia long before recorded history, alfalfa has been grown as forage for livestock longer than any other plant. |

| Mike Adams: Also in the news recently is a lot of debate about DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act), and clearly that's a regulatory challenge for every nutritional supplement company. What's your take on that and how does the Amazon Herb company plan to continue on regardless of what happens with DSHEA?
Amazon John: Yeah, well, you're right, we're going to continue regardless of what happens with DSHEA! And DSHEA is a great thing, I thought DSHEA was wonderful. I supported DSHEA in 1994 when it came into law -- as did a huge majority of the population of America. |

| In a preliminary study, pregnant women who used a zinc (page 6l4)-containing nutritional supplement in the three months before and after conception had a 36% decreased chance of having a baby with a neural tube defect, and women who had the highest dietary zinc intake (but took no vitamin supplement) had a 30% decreased risk.56
Iron (page 540) requirements increase during pregnancy, making iron deficiency in pregnancy quite common.57 Iron supplement use in the United States is estimated at 85% during pregnancy, with most women taking supplements three or more times per week for three months. |

 As 2007 winds down, I'm about to announce a new round of awards for 2007, and the Baseline of Health Foundation remains at the top of my list. It offers some of the most potent nutritional formulations I've ever experienced. Their Metal Magic product is an extremely effective metal-removing detox tincture, and their kidney cleanse product works so well to eliminate kidney stones that in my opinion, it makes kidney stone drugs and surgical procedures utterly obsolete. |

 Whether it's a nutritional supplement company, a pharmaceutical company, good news or bad news, I'm going to cover what I believe to be true and what I believe to be important for the consumer out there. I cannot be bought, I can't be paid off and no one can come in and threaten me with legal action to get me to change my story. It doesn't work. I know what free speech is and I'm willing to defend it.

 But it's true; these pharmaceutical companies invest money in many of the nutritional supplement companies out there, and they put people on their board of directors. The small companies that resist that kind of influence, like Dr. Bronner's Soap and the hundreds of others I talked to and saw their products at the show, are the real heart of the natural products industry.

Mike:Fantastic. One of the reasons for the success of this book comes back to your philosophy on breast cancer. |
