About this listen
The human body is an amazing machine, but it is not self-sufficient. Short or tall, fat or skinny, young or old - every body depends on several different types of vitamins and minerals in order to perform efficiently and stay healthy. The human body is able to produce its own niacin, biotin, and vitamin D, but we get all of the other vitamins and minerals strictly from food sources.
Before the 20th-century, not much was known about vitamins and minerals or the foods that contained these key nutrients. There was no scientific research or commercially available multivitamins. Many people did not even have access to nutrient-rich foods. Because of this, millions of people suffered from vitamin-deficiency diseases like scurvy and rickets.
In the early 1900s, scientists carefully studied the role that vitamins and minerals play in the human body. We now know that humans need 13 types of vitamins (made by plants or animals) and 16 kinds of minerals (inorganic elements that come from the earth). Going without these nutrients can lead to serious health complications like blindness, liver damage, cardiovascular disease, birth defects, and many others. Thankfully, many of these conditions can be avoided by eating a balanced diet and, if necessary, taking medical supplements.
This guide identifies the vitamins and minerals which are essential for health and fitness, and also explains which foods contain normal dietary requirements of these supplements. It also shows how some vitamins can be harmful if high levels are ingested, and which foods help to maintain a balanced and nutritious diet.

Long before the first pharmaceutical companies opened their doors in the 1850s, doctors treated people, not symptoms. And although we've become used to popping pills, Americans have finally had it with the dangerous side effects, addiction, and over-prescribing - and they're desperate for an alternative. Here's the good news: That alternative has been here all along in the form of ancient treatments used for eons in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Greek medicine.

Don't take too much Vitamin D it is dangerous! I started taking 20,000 IU a day-50X times the recommended dose of 400 IU a day. After about four months upped the dose to 50,000 IU a day or 150X the old recommended “safe” dose I then boosted it to 100,000 IU a day or 300 x times the old maximum safe dose! What happened over these last 10 months? Did I die? get sick? No! Just the opposite! High dose Vitamin D3 therapy over the last year-cured all my chronic conditions-some that i'd had for 20+ years!

We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed. Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate.

Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease.

Are you taking calcium or vitamin D? This book could save your life! Learn the secret to avoiding osteoporosis and heart disease. Millions of people take calcium and Vitamin D supplements thinking they're helping their bones. The truth is, without the addition of Vitamin K2, such a health regimen could prove dangerous. Without Vitamin K2, the body cannot direct calcium to the bones where it's needed; instead, the calcium resides in soft tissue, like the arteries, leading to a combination of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, or the dreaded "calcium paradox".

Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem mans diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics, and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment.

If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Pre-Menopause.
