| As a human being, you simply cannot achieve outstanding nutrition without nutritional supplementation. I've covered this briefly in the previous section, where I discussed the idea that you would have to eat 10,000 calories a day just to get the vitamins and minerals and phytonutrients that you need in order to experience optimum health. I also explained that no human being can eat 10,000 calories a day. You simply can't move that much food through your system.
High nutritional density, low caloric density
So what does a human being actually need in order to get optimum nutrition? |

 Strontium is a mineral you probably haven't heard of before, but when strontium is included in a program of nutritional supplementation, bone density responds very positively.
Milk also contains a lot of calories and saturated animal fats. Neither of these are lacking in the American diet. Far better sources of calcium include foods like broccoli. In fact, a cup of broccoli juice has more calcium than a cup of milk. My favorite source of calcium is the micro-algae known as Spirulina. |

| Avoid the food ingredients that cause disease
Good nutrition, by the way, means more than just getting all of the right nutrients into your body through superfoods and nutritional supplementation. It also means avoiding foods and drinks and chemical additives that deplete your body's nutrition. A person really cannot have optimum nutrition unless they are carefully avoiding certain ingredients. Those ingredients include: white flour, which depletes the B vitamins from the human body, and refined white sugar or any refined grains, such as white rice or instant oatmeal. |

Q Follow a fasting program once a month. (See fasting in Part Three.)
Considerations
Q Dermatologists usually prescribe cleansing lotions containing a drying agent with sulfur and resorcinol and/or betamethasone dipropionate (Diprosone) cream.
Q Cradle cap has been associated with food allergies. For infants, controlling food allergies plus giving supplemental biotin (if there is a deficiency) is most effective. |

Q Various types of mushrooms can be good sources of vitamin D, Bi (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), minerals, and amino acids. They have the ability to enhance the body's immune system T cells that seek and destroy cancer cells. Shiitake, zhu ling, enoki, reishi, and maitake mushrooms have all been reported to have anticancer properties. |
| Individuals suffering from these various rare diseases and their caregivers would be well advised to stay abreast of new research as it is reported in hopes of being able to wisely choose the best combination of therapy and nutritional supplementation. Unfortunately, our knowledge on the subject of orphan diseases is limited at this time, as the research to date is also limited. We look forward to information breakthroughs that we can share in future editions of this book. |

 Appendix H
What to Look for in a Multiple Vitamin and Mineral Supplement
While a health-promoting diet is an essential component of good health, so too is proper nutritional supplementation. While some experts say that you can theoretically meet all of your nutritional needs through diet alone, the reality is that most Americans do not come anywhere near the optimal levels. During recent years the U.S. |

| Returning the body to a cancer-free state requires addressing the fundamental health issues of detoxification, immune support, nutritional supplementation and treatment with botanicals that are well documented to halt the growth of cancer tumors. Zeolites have recently demonstrated amazing results in helping to rid the body of toxins. www.PacificRimMarketing.net is one great source.
While conventional cancer treatments only harm the immune system (and very nearly kill the patient), all the following cancer solutions aid and assist the body's own innate healing capabilities. |

| A healthy diet plus appropriate nutritional supplementation can be of considerable benefit, reducing overall anxiety and even decreasing the frequency and intensity of panic attacks. If you are taking antianxiety medication, following the plan outlined in this section may make it possible to stop taking the medication, or at least to reduce the dosage. You should always consult with your physician before making any change in a prescription regimen, however. See also stress in Part Two. |

Being successful in these goals also consists of focusing on three areas: lifestyle, diet, and proper nutritional supplementation. The fourth cornerstone for good health is a positive mental attitude; this factor is discussed thoroughly in Chapter 10.

We have previously described the growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes worldwide and stressed its strong link to the Western diet and a sedentary lifestyle. |
| Mounting scientific evidence makes it clear that diet and proper nutritional supplementation can be a powerful tool in the prevention and treatment of many diseases—including type 1 diabetes. Three key dietary goals and some key nutritional supplements can help prevent type 1 diabetes. Let's start by looking at the three dietary keys:
1. Proper early nutrition
2. Reduced intake of nitrates

| As we'll explain in the first part of this book, by reducing or eliminating as many risk factors as possible, and by following key dietary, lifestyle, and nutritional supplementation strategies, you'll greatly reduce your chances of developing the disease.

At each moment, the human body tries to maintain the ideal internal conditions needed to carry out its many tasks. The technical term for this goal is homeostasis, which literally means "same standing. |
| By choosing to be positive, choosing to eat for optimum health, choosing to lead a health-promoting lifestyle, and choosing to support your body chemistry through proper nutritional supplementation, you are building a strong foundation for achieving ideal health and a long life, and, if needed, setting the stage for a possible cure.

Overall, the trend today is moving toward a more aggressive approach to managing blood glucose in diabetes. |

| NUTRITIONAL APPROACH
The use of nutritional supplementation to help boost the metabolism of those with Down syndrome began with North American physician Dr. Henry Turkel in the 1950s. To address the unique biochemistry of those with Down syndrome, he began treating affected children with a combination of vitamins, minerals, and hormones. Although his program achieved some success, his work was generally rejected or ignored by mainstream scientists.
However, a growing population of parents of children with Down syndrome continued to use Dr. Turkel's nutritional program. |

 Finally, it bears mentioning that the fully developed Atkins program is a three-pronged approach to health that involves not just carbohydrate management (he later called the diet a "controlled-carbohydrate approach to eating") but exercise and nutritional supplementation. In his New York clinic, only a small percentage of patients came in solely for weight loss. Atkins should be remembered for his marvelous work in the field of complementary and integrative medicine as well as for his pioneering work on diet.

In addition to these items, we recommend 500 to 1,500 mg of vitamin C and 400 to 800 IU of vitamin E daily as part of a foundation for nutritional supplementation for people with diabetes. In Chapter 9, we provide additional recommendations to greatly reduce appetite and improve glucose control with natural products, while in Chapter 11 we give recommendations for supplements to deal with the major complications of diabetes.

Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo is the oldest living species of tree. Many nutritionists take this to mean that because it is so hardy, it may pass its elixir of life on to us. Strangely, this may be true! Unlike many things in life, Ginkgo biloba extract deserves its sterling reputation. Testing has shown that it is both safe and useful in preventing and treating various diseases.
Probably the most extensively studied herb, Ginkgo biloba contains numerous beneficial substances, some with powerful pharmacological properties. |
| Our evidence-based doctors, who seem to know little of the relationship between vaccination safety, immunity, and nutrition, never suggest nutritional supplementation. In fact, an elderly person's best protection is improved nutrition—not vaccination—as we shall see.
Vitamin A
We've known for years that successful vaccination depends on adequate vitamin A intake.515 Attempts to vaccinate African children who suffered from vitamin A deficiencies resulted in a very high mortality rate. The same tragedy occurred when vaccinations were forced on aboriginal populations in Australia. |
| In addition, few doctors doing clinical research understand the intricacies of nutritional supplementation. For example, CoQIO is a fat-soluble substance. Giving it with water results in poor absorption. It must be given with fats, such as phospholipids or extra-virgin olive oil. Dosing is also important. The best results are obtained with higher doses, such as 300-600 mg a day. And finally, if the heart is severely depleted of numerous nutrients, especially L-carnitine, providing CoQIO will provide far less benefit. |

 A preventive program would include additional nutritional supplementation to enhance levels of calcium and other minerals, including boron and strontium. Weight-bearing, anaerobic exercises are also recommended to promote further bone building. Brief daily exposure to the sun is also important, as it promotes the conversion of vitamin D to calcitriol, essential for building bone health.

| Numerous studies have shown the value of nutritional supplementation and a healthy diet in not only preventing strokes of all kinds, but also in reducing their severity. The longer you utilize a program of good nutrition, the greater your protection against all manner of disease.
Wet Strokes: Something Just Popped in My Head
A rupture of an artery in the head happens suddenly—without the possible warning signs associated with ischemic stroke—and is usually catastrophic. The unfortunate person grabs his or her head, cries out, and falls to the ground unconscious. |
| Instead, use nutritional supplementation and a healthy diet. It is much more effective and far less hazardous. Multiple studies have shown that the reason the elderly are so susceptible to the flu is because of age-related immune deficiencies, which I will discuss in chapter nine. At any rate, over 50 percent of the time, flu vaccines contain the wrong antigen and will not protect you, and a significant number of the vaccinated elderly actually contract flu because of the vaccine. |
| These children were also given nutritional supplementation, but treatment did not begin until the children were older—at 42, 56, 60, and 72 months of life. Despite the late onset of treatment and educational stimulation, the cognitive test scores of these children were nearly the same as those of middle- and high-income children. When tested two years later, the beneficial effects persisted. The earlier the stimulation began, and the longer it persisted, the greater the benefit. |

 Besides nutritional supplementation, Dr. Gerson required his patients to go through rigorous changes in their diet. As well as staying away from all added salt, his patients had to severely restrict their intake of fat and protein. Gerson felt that low protein intake increased T-lymphocyte activity and promoted the release of sodium from cells. Patients had to eat primarily organic foods and prepare about a dozen fresh juices each day. They were also required to perform numerous coffee enemas every day.

| This includes, among other restrictions: no salt, no sugar, and little fat or meat.
?Nutritional supplementation. This includes, among other things: potassium (liquid compound solution), potassium iodide (Lugol's solution), vitamin C, digestive enzymes, thyroid, flaxseed oil, niacin, liver/B12 injections, CoQ10, brewer's yeast, and castor oil (both orally and rectally). The Gerson Institute now also recommends Laetrile supplementation for some cases. (Laetrile will be discussed in the next chapter.)
