 Michael Colgan found that, irrespective of age, people placed on comprehensive nutritional supplement programs showed gradual decreases in blood pressure from an average of slightly above 140/90 to below 120/80. The optimal range is a systolic blood pressure no higher than 125 and a diastolic blood pressure no higher than 85, irrespective of age. Certainly blood pressure above 140/90 is cause for concern.

 By doing this (and with the help of a nutritional supplement program), we were able to get his cholesterol level in check. We also started him on an exercise program; he found he was able to get a great workout with water aerobics, and he really began to enjoy it when he found it didn't bother his back at all—in fact, he felt better. Rudy also took a few treatments of directed massage, or neuromuscular therapy, and some additional physical therapy as well.
Rudy started feeling better and better. |

 Gerry: Well, I think the spirulina is really a superfood, as you mentioned, and as we learn more about it, even though it's an old product on the nutritional supplement market, we seem to be learning more and more about the health benefits and some of the subtleties like this, protection against illness and enhancing the immune system, and I think it's a product whose time will come again.
Mike: Demand is increasing over the last couple of years, you mentioned. |

 Imagine, for a moment, that the FDA found out that some nutritional supplement or herb caused children to have a 180% increase in suicidal tendencies. Do you think that would be front-page news? You bet it would be! And the FDA would be grabbing headlines around the nation, warning people that herb X was killing their children. The herb would be taken off the market, and inventories would be confiscated. Importation of the herb would be banned. But when it's prescription drugs, it's all OK -- as long as money continues to be made in the industry. |

 This sort of activity by the FDA should be halted and investigated by the FBI so that nutritional supplement manufacturers can operate in a free environment, without having to watch their back to wonder if the next federally approved "inquisition" is on its way.
We should also overhaul our school lunch programs. Currently, school lunches offer terrible nutrition to students. We feed our students refined white flour, added sugars, dead foods, processed foods, hydrogenated oils, and then we send them back to class and wonder why they can't learn or pay attention. |
| In fact, the FDA battled vigorously against the DSHEA Act in 1994 that finally allowed nutritional supplement manufacturers to make qualified statements on their products, as long as such statements were followed with the quote, "This statement has not been endorsed by the FDA."
We should allow supplement manufacturers to tell the truth about what their products do when it is based on available clinical evidence. It shouldn't be illegal to speak the truth about the relationship between nutrition and chronic disease. |

 Glucosamine Sulfate
Glucosamine sulfate is a nutritional supplement that may enhance the reconstruction and healing of cartilage. Glucosamine is an amino sugar, a molecule composed of an amino acid and a simple sugar. The body uses about 20 different amino sugars as sources of energy or ingredients for the assembly of tissue components. Amino sugars are the structural basis of connective tissue and lubricating fluids. |

 Simple sugars, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and refined carbohydrates are reduced dramatically or eliminated altogether. His nutritional supplement program for a typical hypertensive patient includes fish oil, garlic, evening primrose oil, magnesium, potassium, selenium, zinc, vitamin B6, niacin, vitamin C, tryptophan, taurine, cysteine, and coenzyme Q10.
Studies have shown that nutritional supplementation, particularly with potassium, calcium, and magnesium (nonchloride salts), along with antioxidants and zinc, can help reduce hypertension. |

 Vitamins C and E and a nutritional supplement called N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can greatly reduce the inflammatory symptoms of infections.
Common Inflammation Triggers
Triggers prompt an inflammatory response when the body is already primed for such a reaction. These triggers do not cause an abnormal inflammatory reaction when the body is not primed for an overreaction. |

 A more comprehensive nutritional supplement that would supply the fatty acids for cell membrane health, the amino acids (from proteins) for neurotransmitter health, and even the antioxidant to reduce free-radical damage would contain a shellfish extract and a special fish oil. The shellfish extract could be the green-lipped mussel described in Chapter 3 because it contains the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, plus the long-chain fatty acids, and a natural balanced content of minerals. The fish oil could be one with the suitable level of omega-3 fatty acids blended with squalene. |

| Proper testing is required to monitor the effectiveness of both drug and nutritional supplement programs. Recommended blood tests include total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, glucose, prothrombin time, homocysteine, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and template bleeding time. Further, the Life Extension Foundation highly recommends using optimal levels, instead of the standard reference ranges, for these laboratory tests. The primary objective of using the following nutrients is to help restore function to injured brain cells.

| Chronic patients require much longer treatment periods, but they too respond to a combined nutritional supplement approach of which vitamins B-3 and B-6 remain the most important components.
The children switched over to placebo to replace the vitamin B-3 all relapsed, even when the ascorbic acid was not discontinued. Since all the tablets looked alike these children were not aware of any change. Their parents did know, but it is highly unlikely that their attitudes had any effect. |

 Taurine
While taurine is not an essential amino acid, its value as a nutritional supplement is quite significant, especially during chemotherapy, which lowers taurine. 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. |

Basic nutritional supplement Recommendations
ANTIOXIDANTS
The more and varied your antioxidants, the better.
VITAMIN A
1 do not recommend the use of straight vitamin A because of its potential toxicity. Instead supplement with a mixture of mixed carotenoids. Carotenoids become vitamin A in the body as the body has need and they have no toxicity problems.
CAROTENOIDS
It is important to have a mixture of carotenoids rather than taking only beta-carotene. |

Heavy bacon consumption
All meats and dairy products are laden with chemicals that one way or another are going to end up in our system. The only natural and abundant thing about meat and dairy products is fat (60 percent of it). The combination of fat and toxic chemicals does sound a bit inconvenient, doesn't it? It seriously increases our chances of developing problems like obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, hyperthyroidism, candidiasis and cancer. |

 In practice, there is considerable overlap between the two types; for example, fennel tea can be used medicinally and as a nutritional supplement. A healthy breast-fed of bottle-fed infant normally does not require extra fluids. Potable water may be given as a thirst quencher under hot conditions (summer) or in low-humidity environments (houses with central heating). Fever and diarrhea are exceptional situations. The Nutritional Committee of the German Society of Pediatrics (1988) has published the following recommendation. |

| In addition to a simple but healthy diet, I started Jim on glucosamine sulfate and a potent nutritional supplement used for degenerative arthritis. After four months he discontinued the Tylenol with codeine on his own and used Celebrex only occasionally for arthritis pain.
Within a few months, his diabetes came under excellent control and he was able to discontinue Glucotrol. As a result of a balanced diet and stable blood sugar levels, Jim began feeling much better and less depressed. I was then able to suggest that he discontinue both his Buspar and Prozac. |

 I'm putting together a special report on this product in the near future where I'll reveal the astounding properties of this nutritional supplement. It's something I'm using myself now, and it has increased my joint flexibility and all but eliminated muscle soreness after my demanding gymnastics workouts. It's also fantastic for athletic performance, both in terms of strength and endurance.
Where can you get astaxanthin? There are only two sources, and I've interviewed them both. |

| A mixture of wheat protein hydrolysate, free leucine, phenylalanine, and carbohydrate can be applied as a nutritional supplement to strongly elevate insulin concentrations (van Loon 2000).
Poorly selected fats produce a harvest of undesirable (even destructive) hormone-like substances such as PGE2, a prostaglandin produced from arachidonic acid. It appears, however, that fats (saturated or unsaturated) neither increase nor decrease insulin levels. |

 The mystique surrounding yucca's impressive track record as a nutritional supplement and medicinal agent is probably due to its active ingredients. Sarspogenin and smilagenin, known to scientists as phytosterols or steroidal saponins, are precursors to the body's own naturally produced corticosteroids. These body substances prevent arthritis and psoriasis from occurring and are critical to the health of bone joints and skin.
But just because yucca is a tremendous herb doesn't mean an animal should receive it every day. |

| The L-tryptophan was used not only as a nutritional supplement, but also in infant formulas and nutrient mixtures used for intravenous feeding.
The L-tryptophan produced from October 1988 to June 1989 by Showa Denko became contaminated with substances now linked to EMS due to changes in the bacteria being used to produce the L-tryptophan and in the filtration process. The change in the filtration process resulted in the L-tryptophan being contaminated with impurities linked to EMS. |
