| In fact, a folic acid deficiency is associated with many types of cancer, and supplementing it has repeatedly been shown to reverse cervical dysplasia, a precancerous growth in the cervix. A small but pioneering study done some
10 years ago showed that supplementation with folic acid significantly decreased precancerous lung cells in smokers.
Folic acid is a B vitamin found in fresh, leafy, dark green vegetables such as spinach and kale, turnips, endive, asparagus, wheat bran, yeasts, and liver. |

Bee Remedies
Bee pollen may give some people relief, but try just a little bit first in case you are one of the few who are allergic to it. If you can buy fresh local honey at a farmer's market or health food store, you can try that instead. The local pollens in the honey can desensitize your hay fever reactions. |

 In this case, supplementing with hydrochloric acids (HC1 as betaine hydrochloride, often with pepsin, a protein digestant) and/or digestive enzymes may be necessary. Digestive enzymes help break down the carbohydrates, fats, and protein in your diet while HC1 helps break down fat and protein. Enzyme supplements and HC1 are available from natural food markets, or these supplements may be prescribed by nutritionists and nutritional doctors.
Eating Grains Again
Whole grains such as amaranth, oats, millet, quinoa, and brown rice are complex carbohydrates rich in nutrients and fiber. |

 For women who do not have cancer, or who are in remission from cancer, supplementing with natural progesterone is easy and safe. Instructions on how and when to apply the cream are provided with each product, as well as in Dr. Lee's and other books on natural progesterone. However, for women who are dealing with active cancer (especially those with large and aggressive tumors), seeking the guidance of a physician or holistic practitioner is recommended. |

| Taking small amounts of estrogen right around the time of menopause can also help prevent the large drop in bone density seen around that time, so if you are at risk for osteoporosis it might be worth supplementing it for a few years. But it's more important to also use progesterone cream, which will actually build bone. Please don't think of estrogen as a long-term replacement hormone unless you're very thin. Your fat cells and adrenal glands will make what you need, and you're getting dosed with it every time you're exposed to pesticides and plastics, which for most of us is many times daily. |

 High doses of methionine, on the other hand, can cause a problem in individuals who are deficient in vitamin B6; problems can be avoided by supplementing it together with vitamin B6.
Let's start by discussing water in your diet. It is important that we take in sufficient water for the smooth functioning of our metabolic processes, and especially to flush away their end products. In normal health and on a diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, an additional fluid intake of about a quart daily is usually adequate. |

Laboratories for Testing Nutrient Levels
The most scientific way of supplementing is to start by having your levels of vitamins, minerals, and fats measured. In that way you know exactly which nutrients you should increase. Most testing laboratories prefer to work with physicians. These three laboratories are well respected for their analytical capabilities. Physicians can prepare blood for shipment to them.

 The project had been successful; local villagers began supplementing their meager incomes by selling the mushrooms to the Japanese.9
At the same test station, Chapela's research student, David Quist, set up a project to show villagers how to test for possible gene flow from transgenic varieties in order to determine whether the government ban was working. Local farmers had apparently been planting the "new" corn for several years. |

 At normal therapeutic doses (less than 4 grams daily), it is unlikely that evening primrose oil would be harmful if taken in pregnancy;117 however, the composition of breast-milk can be manipulated by supplementing the maternal diet with evening primrose oil.118
CAUTIONS/CONTRAINDICATIONS
Evening primrose oil should not be used in mania due to a theoretical possibility of exacerbating the symptoms.84 Evening primrose oil should be used with caution with patients suffering from epilepsy (see drug interactions).2 |

| Calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are very important for regaining pH balance, and in particular, many people find that supplementing with a coral calcium product helps immensely. Of the various coral calcium products on the market today, the "marine harvested" and "high-grade" versions are probably the best. Vitamin D is also added to coral calcium products.
In general, it is best to consult with your physician, nutritionist, or alternative cancer specialist about how to alkalize your body when you have cancer. |
| This clinical trial showed that supplementing with estriol alone induced remission or arrest of metastatic tumors in 37 percent of the women studied.39 This same dosage of estriol (of about 2 to 5 milligrams per day) has also been shown in European clinical trials to be a sufficient amount to alleviate hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms.40
If you choose to use estriol, there is one obstacle. No pharmaceutical company in the United States sells it commercially. But there are some compounding pharmacists that can prepare it for you. If you find a way to get estriol in pill form, Dr. |

 Ironically, as we shall see later, synthetic vitamin "supplements" are sometimes better at reducing excess than supplementing deficiency. If negative and inferior foods are removed from the diet according to the first two priorities above, then steps 3 and 4 (supplementing and reducing) tend to occur as a consequence, and there is far less need for supplementation with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and isolated nutrients.
Even though it is clear that supplements have merit, it is questionable if they are ever truly necessary when diet is optimal. |

| Because the main benefit of supplementing with chlorophyllin is to detoxify dietary mutagens, it should be taken with food and not wasted on an empty stomach.
Chlorophyllin Side Effects/Contraindications
The only reported side effects with chlorophyllin after 40 years of experience are occasional reports of diarrhea (transient), a green color imparted to the stool, and more recently a pale green color conferred to serum (Enger et al. 2000, 2001). When this coloring of sera was first noticed, the authors of the study noted it to be a good sign. |

| Thus, many women have reported great relief from their PMS symptoms after they started supplementing their bodies with natural progesterone.
So, it is a direct result of women being the child-bearing sex that initially sets them up for a roller-coaster ride with their hormones. Women's bodies must be able to switch between two drastically different modes ?
gestation and non-gestation—and these different modes require different hormones being dominant at different times. Men don't have to switch between these different modes, and so their hormone balance is easier for their bodies to maintain. |

 Statistically, according to Canadian researcher Zoltan Rona, M.D., supplementing with sea vegetables may be a very effective form of breast cancer prevention. An association has been made between low thyroid function and breast cancer; as a source of iodine and other trace minerals, sea vegetables provide optimal nutrition for the thyroid gland.
The high content of potassium in seaweed is good for the heart and kidneys. The iodine in seaweed aids in weight loss also. Seaweed nourishes membranes, making it good for nervous disorders, skin conditions, colds, and constipation. |

| As a result, 17 out of 20 women experienced weight gain within 8 to 56 months. Also, a double-blind study of 35 women hospitalized with anorexia found that supplementation of 14 mg of zinc per day resulted in a 10 percent increase in weight. This was twice as fast as with the group that received a placebo.

 With increased water intake, which will cause increased urine production, there may be an associated loss of salt, as well as other minerals and water-soluble vitamins. supplementing your daily vitamin intake is necessary. If you develop cramps, you should assume that the salt in your diet is not sufficient for your body's needs. You should add salt to your diet—as long as you stick to taking more water. In asthma and allergy sufferers, salt intake becomes a vital part of the treatment. |

The first phase involved a nonrestrictive diet, and the second phase focused on a calorie-restricted diet. During both phases, people receiving 900 mg of 5-HTP had a reduction in carbohydrate intake and the consistent presence of an early sensation of fullness. |
| The average number of recurrences of kidney stones dropped by 90 percent. Also, 85 percent of the people in the study remained stone free, as compared to 41 percent who did not supplement magnesium. Studies have also shown that the combination of magnesium and vitamin B6 supplementation is very effective in reducing kidney stone formation. One study of 149 people with recurrent kidney stones who supplemented B6 (10 mg) and magnesium (300 mg) had a 92.3 percent improvement in stone formation. |

 This directive, for all intents and purposes, virtually makes it illegal for any person to keep themselves healthy by supplementing their own diet with essential nutrients. It will become illegal for you to be in charge of your own health. The reason that this organization is wiping out our access to nutrients is because this group controls the pharmaceutical drug industry around the world. This group categorically wants people to become sicker and sicker, and have more and more disease. This group knows that nutritional deficiencies are one of the major causes of disease. |

 The recovery of pigmentation could be enhanced by supplementing this treatment with ultra-violet exposure (from a mercury vapour lamp) for 2-25 minutes. Oral administration of the furocoumarin mixture gave better results compared to external application of crude Psoralea oil alone (1956).
Local application of an oily mixture of psoralen-isopsoralen in 24 patients of leucoderma (6 male and 18 female) for periods varying from 1 to 12 months revealed erythema and pigmentation in 21 patients. |

| Older adults, who tend not to produce sufficient amounts of digestive enzymes, can benefit from supplementing their diets with plain yogurt.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), each 110 grams of nonfat yogurt contains less than 0.5 grams of milk fat, low-fat yogurt contains between 0.5 and 2.0 grams of milk fat, and whole milk yogurt has approximately 3.5 grams of fat per 100 grams. An 8-ounce (1 cup) serving of nonfat yogurt contains only 110 calories, making it a very healthy addition to any diet.

 Researchers suggest that human cancer mortality rates could be markedly reduced by supplementing human diets with certain soybean products shown to suppress carcinogenesis in animals.17
• Because many Western diseases are hormone-dependent cancers, it has been postulated that the typical Western diet, compared with a vegetarian or semi-vegetarian diet, may alter hormone production, metabolism, or action at the cellular level.18

| I produced a TV infomercial interviewing an author who was giving his opinions about the potential health benefits of supplementing your diet with calcium. I then sent this infomercial to the FTC. I telephoned the FTC on several occasions. I wrote the FTC several letters. I sent several e-mails. I kept asking the FTC if they had any issues with my television commercial promoting the product coral calcium. |
| I believe that these two specific deficiencies lead to a variety of illness, and by supplementing your diet with these two nutrients you can prevent virtually all illness and disease and cure yourself of most illness and disease. However, there is a big caveat to these statements. I say in my book do not take "vitamin supplements." The reason I say that is because almost all vitamin supplements sold are sold by companies who, just like the drug companies, are only in it for the money. They are selling you vitamins and minerals that are nothing more than dirt and do little, if any, good. |
