With the passage of this European food supplements Directive, it is time for the defenders of health freedom in this world to confront this monster of organized medicine and reveal its true nature to the world. There are a couple of things you can do right now.
First off, if you haven't already donated to the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), please do so now. Click here to donate now. This is the group that's fighting the legal battle over the food supplements Directive. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Studies have shown that protein-bonded vitamins, as found in natural whole food supplements, are absorbed, utilized, and retained in the tissues better than supplements that are not protein-bonded. Chemical-derived vitamins are not protein-bonded. Vitamins and minerals in food are bonded to proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and bioflavonoids.
Dr. | | Part One of this book should provide you with a clear understanding of the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, phytochemicals, and other nutrients you need, as well as important information on natural food supplements, herbs, and products that enhance nutrient activity. Eating a healthful diet and supplementing your diet with appropriate nutrients will help to assure that your organs, cells, and tissues get the fuel they need to operate properly. The nutrients suggested in this book promote healing and wellness by allowing the body to heal and reinvigorate itself. |

See article keywords and concepts | | The European food supplements Directive goes live August 1, and it will instantly criminalize retailers who dare to sell products like vitamin C in "illegal" doses.
The reversal of sanity is now complete. Prescription drugs that kill people remain not only legal, but highly promoted, while vitamins that heal people and prevent disease are being criminalized. Little old ladies who own natural health food stores, who dare to sell you vitamin C, or manganese, or various trace minerals, are now apparently a threat to society. They will be arrested on the spot and incarcerated as criminals. |

Supplemental amino acids are available in combination with various multivitamin formulas, as protein mixtures, in a wide variety of food supplements, and in a number of amino acid formulas. They can be purchased as capsules, tablets, liquids, and powders. Most amino acid supplements are derived from animal protein, yeast protein, or vegetable protein. Crystalline free-form amino acids are generally extracted from a variety of grain products. Brown rice bran is a prime source, although cold-pressed yeast and milk proteins are also used. | | In this section, we describe some of the types of food supplements that are recommended for use in dealing with the various disorders discussed in Part Two of this book.
Acidophilus
See Lactobacillus Acidophilus in this section. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a compound that serves as the immediate source of energy for the body's cells, notably muscle cells. | | For information about other anti-aging hormones, see Melatonin under natural food supplements in Part One, and dhea therapy in Part Three.

HAIR ANALYSIS
Hair analysis offers an accurate assessment of the concentration of minerals in the body—those that are toxic in any amount, those that are essential, and those that are needed in small amounts, but toxic in larger amounts. |

See article keywords and concepts | | But if you peacefully resist -- and document your resistance -- this food supplements Directive will never stand.
It is time to resist. It is time to stop rolling over and accepting this health oppression. It is time to defend the laws of nature and preserve your health freedoms from this day forward. Grab your light saber, your spy cams, and your stealth audio recorders. Get yourself arrested, raided or shut down by the European Vitamin Police. You'll make a difference, and you'll make history. | | Even the Death Star has a weakness
You see, the food supplements Directive has a great weakness: this law is so utterly ridiculous that the very act of enforcing it will be its downfall. They simply cannot enforce this law without embarrassing themselves by doing stupid things, like raiding a vitamin company like it was a cocaine bust.
The only way they can get away with this is if all the vitamin companies in Europe roll over and comply. If you voluntarily comply with the ruling, you are giving it power and legitimacy. | | This is the group that's fighting the legal battle over the food supplements Directive. They are the last great defenders of your health freedoms, and they genuinely need your financial support. If you want to keep vitamins legal -- even in the United States -- I urge you to get out your credit card and make a sizable donation to the ANH.
Secondly, we need more than just legal tactics. We need guerilla publicity tactics. The way this works is simple: get an audio or video recording of something that shows the utter stupidity of the ban on vitamins, and get it into my hands. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Because they are used to taking pharmaceutical drugs, they seem to equate food supplements to drugs. They are not! food supplements of enzymes, probiotics, antioxidants, and complete amino acid protein powders are concentrated working elements of food. They are building blocks of life. Don't be overwhelmed by the sight of several bottles or canisters of these supplements on your counter, or feel uncomfortable about taking 10, 20, or more, digestive enzyme capsules at a time, on an empty stomach. In very serious cases, when time is short, your body needs its workers back, NOW. |

See book keywords and concepts |  I am taking food supplements. Should I continue taking them while doing the liver cleanse?
A. It is best to avoid any supplements or medicines during the liver cleanse, unless they are essential. Besides, they are wasted as they are flushed out with the bile and Epsom salts. In addition, medicinal drugs and substances, such as sleeping pills, have a suppressive effect that can render the cleanse ineffective.
Q. I have done eight livers cleanses so far and I feel great. Almost all of my symptoms, including stomach ulcers, sinusitis, and headaches, are gone without a trace. |

The British government has issued a call for clear warning labels (why warn people if it is so safe?), but only a few manufacturers have complied, claiming that it would "clutter up" their labels and confuse consumers. Yet it is more confusing to the consumer not to know whether a food product contains aspartame or saccharin than to know it. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Of the 26 food supplements tested (cabbage, spinach, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, carrots, lentils, broccoli, soybeans, rye, flaxseed and others), flaxseed and rye were found to be the strongest genetic stabilizers. [Mutation Research 551:213-22, 2004] The diet can prevent spontaneous gene mutations, and flaxseed and rye in particular, can accomplish this. The researchers attributed this protective effect to the lignans or phenols in these seeds, but they overlooked IP6 phytate which is the most stable antioxidant in nature. |

See article keywords and concepts |  That's why it is important for all of us that the food supplements Directive fails and is ruled illegal. Only when that happens can we create a system of more freedom, more awareness and more healing. People need choices. They need to have access to nature and to nutrition. The very idea that this food supplements Directive was even under consideration is quite maddening. Hopefully, sanity will prevail and the European Union will not outlaw nutrition. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Rath, MD, former Linus Pauling Institute scientist, continues to document the ability of antioxidants and collagen-forming food supplements to prevent and treat of cancer. A recent animal study employed collagen-forming nutrients (proline, lysine, vitamin C) along with an antioxidant (green tea). The animals had colon cancer cells injected into their colons. The animals that received the nutrient mix had smaller and slower-growing tumors. | | Postgraduate Medicine 62: 73-79, 1977] All the while, doctors were saying food supplements like flaxseed, black cohosh and red clover were unproven, even "snake oil."
With the news that hormone replacement therapy posed health risks, doctors were so overwhelmed by phone calls from millions of women that they simply shut off their office phones.
The bomb drops on hormone replacement therapy
For decades doctors continued to prescribe hormones to postmenopausal women under the assumption they improved health for postmenopausal women. | | The new anti-cancer molecules, now widely available as food supplements, have the potential to overcome poor health habits and prevent recurrence. While taking them doesn't give license for people to continue to smoke or to eat damaging foods, the fact is, people don't find it easy to give up their habits.
While this book emphasizes that the "gold standard' used to compare cancer treatments is survival, other important aspects of cancer care are degree of pain and side effects. |

See book keywords and concepts | | This useful plant iron comes in ionic, organic form, unlike the toxic rust (iron oxide) contained in food supplements and breakfast cereals. Iron is an integral component of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, and is also part of key enzyme systems for energy production and metabolism. To properly utilize iron for hemoglobin synthesis the body requires copper, which is also amply present in green beans.
The vitamins C, A and Zinc present in green beans help to maintain optimal immune function and acne-free skin. | | The magic food supplements have become an insurance policy against poor diet, and nobody has to feel guilty anymore over eating junk food. And to top it off, scientific research (financed by the vitamin producers) suggests that taking large doses of supplements may protect you against disease, even though there is no real evidence to support that claim. As seen in the sales figures, the public believes that the more vitamins you take, the healthier you become.
But are vitamins really that good for your health? |
Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The problem with taking any of these food supplements, however, is that there is no regulation as to the amount of product in a pill and how much of it, when ingested, actually gets into the bloodstream. So one reason these supplements might not work is that there is either too little or too much melatonin in a tablet. Because of this, a new drug that acts like melatonin looks interesting. The drug, ramelteon (Rozerem), is FDA-approved for insomnia. | | Very often we find they were prescribed by multiple physicians and specialists, or, in the case of food supplements or over-the-counter products, by no one at all.
The wheelbarrow goes beyond drugs. People who have been sick for a long time are apt to become more and more desperate in seeking help. When doctors tell such patients there's nothing wrong with them (and show them to the door without helping), they feel they have no alternative but to seek alternative treatments on their own. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It can also be a side effect of certain medications, or can result from inadvertently taking large amounts of iodine, for example, in food supplements or, at times, shellfish such as shrimp. An underactive thyroid is the most common disorder of the thyroid, and tends to affect women more than men. It is more prevalent among the elderly, but younger people are also susceptible. |
Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | The BioBran story makes the point that some of these food supplements can alter biological processes that have an impact on health. But the company making this product paid for quite a large number of studies documenting the immune-activating power of their product. Look for lists of such evidence when you evaluate the Web site of a company selling a nutraceutical for CFS, FM, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), and the like. Be sure that the list includes reports in scientific journals and not just reports at medical meetings. |

See book keywords and concepts | | For example, the use of iron food supplements has not been found to increase the risk of colon cancer. [Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers Prevention 6: 1029, 1997]. Another study of iron-fed rats did not show an increased risk for colon cancer. [Journal Nutrition 128: 764, 1998] Iron consumption does not appear to increase the recurrence of colorectal polyps, either. |
Jacky Law
See book keywords and concepts |  This state of affairs, which has always been a source of deep frustration to those on the fringes of medicine, reached fever pitch when the EU food supplements Directive was threatening to sweep supplements off the shelves.
The idea was to bring safe maximum limits into line across nation states but, as Rose Shepherd suggested in a passionate piece she wrote for the Observer Magazine, the move hijacked food supplements, forcing them to be seen as medicines. |
Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | The idea that you can greatly influence your health by taking food supplements or by altering your diet seems natural and is encouraged by the health food industry. There will be more to say about this industry in the next chapter. Changing what you eat, and how you eat it, doesn't necessarily mean buying a lot of expensive new products. And, indeed, there have been reports of health improvements following dietary manipulation. Much of the research on the effects of diet on rheumatological diseases, including FM, comes from Scandinavia. |

Irregular eating habits, which include eating between meals and snacking in the middle of the night, greatly upset the body's finely tuned biological rhythms.1 Most of the important hormonal secretions in the body depend on regular cycles of eating, sleeping, and waking. |
