Calcium

"The role of Calcium in the body is similar to that in soil. It aids digestion, nutrition and neutralization, promotes good growth, solidity and vigor by helping to regulate metabolism properly."

Beware sugar intake - robs the body of essential Calcium

Lack of Calcium causes many issues - defective teeth, bone metabolism and eventually chronic disease.

Conditions prevented by Calcium - Nervous prostration (an emotional disorder that leaves you exhausted and unable to work), stomach acidity and anemia are just a few of the ailments.

"Calcium has a good effect on the brain, producing qualities of oratory proficiency, love, compassion, expansion, intellect bordering on genius and tremendous powers of concentration."

Since Magnesium is synergistic to Calcium, it is recommended the two be combined for easiest assimilation in the body.

Hawthorn berries

Folk History & Use:

Harvested in the Fall and used in jellies and as an additive to flour in some parts of Africa as a heart tonic by herbalists.

The tree was regarded as sacred because of the Christian tradition that it furnished the crown of thorns prior to Christ's crucifixion. A stand of the trees still inhabit a portion of the Mount of Olives outside of Jerusalem.

The berries are held in high esteem in Folk Medicine for its effectiveness in treating both low and high blood pressure, rapid pulse and arythmic heartbeat, as a prophylactic against angina pain and in atherosclerosis. Native Americans used hawthorn to treat rheumatism and the Chinese used another species as a digestive aid.

During the past decade, new knowledge has been obtained in regard to the berries effect on the Circulatory System. Since the Hawthorn contains neither cardiotonic glycosides or cardiotonic alkaloids, claims of digitalis-like activity have been unfounded. Instead, the active principles appear to be the flavonoids which slowly act on circulatory and cardiac problems by causing dilation of the blood vessels, especially coronary arteries, and by causing some reduction in blood pressure. It does not appear to be cardio-toxic and does not seem to have a cumulative effect. Toxicity has been noted only with very high doses.

Vitamin B-12

Lack of Vitamin B-12 can cause nerve damage; neuritis; brain damage similar to schizophrenia and pernicious anemia. Important for healthy bone marrow; needed for red blood cells; necessary for metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Fosters nerve and mental health.

Foods rich in B-12: Liver, kidney, yogurt, cheese, eggs, soybeans, fish and fish roe, whole wheat and kelp. Due to the soil conditions, plants in the United States contain very little B-12. So it is very important to supplement Vitamin B-12 and be sure you are using a pure product. Nature's Sunshine is known around the world for its purity and quality control.

Vitamin B-12 is destroyed by light, excess acid and excess alkali and is stored in bone marrow, blood and glands.

Herbs

Plants have been the primary source of medicine for people throughout the world since the down of recorded history and even today in most countries. Over 4,000 years of European and Mediterranean culture have used medicines referred to as herbs. The term herb used to apply to non-woody plants, but today it refers to any part of any plant used for flavoring or medicine. It may be bark, flower, fruit, leaf or root as well as a non-woody plant.

As for medicinal qualities: Is garlic a medicine or a food? Medicine is anything which enters the body and alters its structure or function according to the medical definition. So all foods and even water and air could be considered medicines, right? Most people do not think this way and consider medicines dangerous or toxic substances that must be used with care. Simple fact: Garlic is both a medicine and a food. It aids circulatory and immune systems as well as provides nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and fats. Therefore, it is considered a medicinal food.

The FDA classifies herbs as foods when no claims are made that the herb will cure, treat or mitigate/prevent a disease. When these claims are made, the herb is regulated as a medicine. Since companies that sell herbs as food cannot publish materials relating the use of their products to diseases without risking prosecution, herbs must be sold as foods and then may be used as medicines.

This information comes from a wonderful book that addresses both the nutritional and medicinal qualities of herbs: "Nutritional Herbology: A Reference Guide to Herbs" by Mark Pedersen

Hydrogen Deficiency

Once the moisture-assimilating capability of the body is lost, it is difficult to restore. Only water carrying foods, liquids and an almost completely fluid diet is required to revitalize the organism. In younger patients it is notable, but once individuals become elderly, the effects are only partial.

The deficient body cannot assimilate water, fatty nutrients and the body lacks material which is vital to joints, marrow, nerves, brain, auditory structures and other body parts in need of lubrication for optimum movement. Some signs of Hydrogen deficiency are: Dehydration; Emaciation; Crampy tendons; Appetite for salty food; Irritability; Dry/Wrinkled Skin; Lack of perspiration; Gout; Arthritis; Excess body heat and Shrinkage of the liver.

Even though liquids are the highest in hydrogen, there are certain foods that are also high in hydrogen. Here are a few:

Apricots; Asparagus; Blackberries; Blueberries; Broccoli; Brussel Sprouts; Cabbage; Carrots; Celery; Chard; Cherries; Eggplant; Guavas; Horseradish; Mangos; Muskmelon; Okra; Papaya; Parsley; Peaches; Pineapple; Prunes; Pumpkin; Radishes; Rutabaga; Sauerkraut; Spinach; Squash; Strawberries; Tomatoes; Turnips; Watercress; Watermelon
