Certain nutrients must be taken on a daily basis to promote optimal health. It is extremely difficult to achieve this through diet alone. Few of us eat in a healthy manner all the time; but even when we try to, the food available to us is often deficient in adequate amounts of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, essential oils, etc.). Farmers get paid for the quantity of their produce, not the nutritional quality of that produce. Modern farming technique is predicated on using nutrient deficient fertilizer to force-grow crops from the same spent soil year after year or, sometimes, several times per year (read
Empty Harvest by Mark Anderson). Buying “organic” won’t necessarily solve this problem. “Organic” means that the product is free of pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, and hormones; but it does not address the nutritional content of the food.
Current research has convincingly linked many diseases to poor nutrition. Most of us eat too much in the way of macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates), but the degenerative diseases that are killing us flourish because we are starving to death for lack of micronutrients. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, adult onset diabetes, and arthritis can all be prevented, improved, or cured by appropriate nutritional intervention. In fact, virtually every disease, including genetic disorders, can be positively impacted by improved nutrition.
Even if you eat well, but especially if you enjoy junk food, you will benefit by supplementing your diet with certain key micronutrients. To follow is a brief discussion of those items that I consider most important.
VITAMIN C
Linus Pauling, PhD, the most brilliant chemist of the last century, set the stage for our understanding of the role of nutrients in health when he devised the concept of orthomolecular medicine: the right molecule(s) to give to the body to allow it to function properly and spontaneously heal itself. Foremost among the micronutrients that he proselytized was vitamin C. Humans are one of the few animals on the planet that don’t make this vitamin. If we don’t eat it, we’ll eventually die of scurvy.
It only takes a few milligrams a day to prevent that awful ailment; however, Pauling felt that we would promote optimal health by taking in an amount similar to that which we would make if we could make it. Other animals of our size make about
4,000 milligrams (mg) a day routinely but may make 20 times that amount when they get sick. Studies have now confirmed vitamin C’s role as an antioxidant; and the biochemical pathways by which it boosts our immune system and aids in the prevention of cancer, heart disease, and infection are being elucidated.
DOSE: At least 4,000 mg/day for adults (I take 10,000 mg/day; and, when I spoke with
Dr. Pauling about it, he was taking 18,000 mg/day). Children need vitamin C too, and a reasonable dose would be 1000 mg per 40 pounds of body weight. It’s watersoluble so it gets eliminated from the body quickly. Therefore, take it in doses

throughout the day. The usual limiting factor is bowel intolerance (diarrhea). Work up slowly to your point of intolerance and then back off a little. When you get sick, you need much more and can usually tolerate ten times your routine dose - an indication of how important your immune system thinks this substance is.
SOURCE: A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice contains only about 80 mg. You simply cannot eat enough fruit and other high C foods to reach that 4,000 mg/day goal. Take it as a supplement - it’s sold everywhere. Vitamin C is ascorbate. The usual form is ascorbic acid (hydrogen ascorbate), but it is also available as calcium, potassium, or magnesium ascorbate. Look for a pill form that has a smooth coating on it (the chalky ones stick in the back of your throat), a capsule, or take it as a powder to be mixed with juice or food. Ascorbic acid is a simple molecule and easy to make. I don’t think the brand that you decide to buy makes much difference so long as the pill is easy to swallow.
VITAMIN E
There have been over 6000 studies on the benefits of vitamin E in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. These show that having low blood levels of this vitamin is more likely to result in a heart attack than having high blood pressure or high cholesterol. That’s not to say that lowering high blood pressure isn’t important - it is - but well-done studies from around the world are showing that taking vitamin E daily is even more important. For instance, a study of 2000 patients with known heart disease reported on in the March 23, 1996 issue of The
Lancet (England) revealed a 77% reduction in non-fatal heart attacks for those given vitamin E versus the control group that got a placebo, and in 1996 the U.N.’s
World Health Organization looked at middle aged men from each of the 16 regions across Europe and found that low levels of vitamin E in the blood correlated with heart disease more than any other classical risk factor!
DOSE: 400 to 1200 international units (i.u.) once daily for adults. Unlike vitamin C, vitamin E is fat-soluble. This keeps it around longer and makes once daily dosing
OK.
SOURCE: Look for the chemical name in small print. It should read d-alpha tocopherol not dl-alpha.... The “dl” indicates that it is synthetic and studies have shown this form to be inferior to the naturally occurring vitamin E. Vitamin E is actually a mixture of four tocopherols (alpha, beta, delta & gamma) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta & gamma), but most studies have concentrated on the benefits of the tocopherols. I take a product called “Unique” made by A.C. Grace
Co. Each soft gel capsule contains a combination of d-alpha tocopherol (400 i.u.) plus mixed tocopherols. This is important as d-alpha tocopherol inhibits platelet aggregation (the reason people take baby aspirin); whereas, d-gamma tocopherol provides most of the antioxidant activity. The vitamin E product sold by A.C. Grace has been distilled away from the soy oil source because soy oil rancifies with age whereas vitamin E doesn’t. The dose recommended by this manufacturer to saturate and protect all of the fat in your body, brain, and heart is one capsule per 40 pounds
of body weight taken all at the same time once daily with a meal that contains some fat. I have taken that dose every day for years with no ill effect. www.acgrace.com
is the website where this product can be purchased. Another excellent product, which is more easily found in stores, is "E-Gems Elite" from Carlson Laboratories, Inc.

.
THE B VITAMINS
There are eight "B" vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5
(pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cobalamin), folic acid, and biotin. They are essential to a host of biochemical reactions and bodily functions. Recent appreciation of their role in preventing heart disease and assuring that the nervous system of a developing fetus forms properly has gotten them press and air time, and you should be taking them daily. Among the Bs, B12 is most poorly absorbed when taken orally. Therefore, despite the 250 mcg of B12 present in the B-Complex that I take orally, I take a separate, 1000 mcg B12 tablet as a sublingual (under-thetongue) preparation. B12 is “cobalamin,” but it comes as a compound which will be one of the following: cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin, or hydroxycobalamin.
Currently, hydroxycobalamin is the preferred form.
DOSE: Look for a "High B" formula that provides 100 mg of thiamine and 800 mcg of folic acid. If the formula has these two Bs in those doses, the rest of the Bs will also be appropriately dosed. If it comes as a once a day pill, it's going to be a big one. You might want to go with a formula that provides the correct dose split between two smaller pills and take one twice daily. The B12 sublingual tablet should be 1000 mcg taken once daily.
SOURCE: There are a lot of good "High B" preparations on the market. Whichever one you buy, you will know that it is being absorbed if your urine turns a funny fluorescent yellow (that’s from the riboflavin – B2). I take "B-Plex" by Karuna, Inc. www.karunahealth.com
. It’s a one tab, twice daily formula. I also take “B-12” by
Intensive Nutrition 800-333-7414 www.intensivenutrition.com
.
VITAMIN A
Vitamin A (retinol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps cells reproduce normally; maintains healthy cell membranes; supports immune function; is involved in normal bone, blood cell, and brain development; and is essential for night vision. Betacarotene (a naturally occurring, red or yellow, plant pigment) is a precursor to vitamin A and may be converted to vitamin A by the body. However, as we age, this reaction cannot be relied upon; so, I recommend taking vitamin A, itself, as a supplement. Taking additional beta-carotene, should you want to do that, will not cause your body to overproduce vitamin A. There is some evidence that doses of
10,000 i.u. or higher per day of vitamin A may be associated with birth defects.
Therefore, women of childbearing age should take less than that or take natural beta-carotene at a dose of 25,000 i.u. per day as their source of vitamin A.
Interestingly, doses of 50,000 to 75,000 i.u. daily of vitamin A reversed skin aging changes in elderly subjects without documented adverse effects, but those doses are probably excessive for long-term use.
DOSE: 5000 to 10,000 i.u. once daily with a meal. Some experts recommend as much as 25,000 i.u. daily, and several companies offer it at this dose per capsule.

VITAMIN D
Vitamin D is necessary for making and maintaining strong bones, it reduces the risk of developing diabetes by supporting insulin production and utilization, and it helps prevent and treat Parkinson’s disease. In addition, it is essential to the proper functioning of the immune system. In that capacity, it is key to your ability to resist infections (including influenza); and it has been shown to reduce the risk of cancers of the skin, breast, prostate, pancreas, and ovaries. We make vitamin D in our bodies as a result of exposure to sunlight. Therefore, one would assume that it is unnecessary to take it as a supplement. Unfortunately, two extenuating circumstances may make this assumption invalid. First, there is currently a trend to avoid whole body exposure to sunlight because of concerns regarding skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. Second, as we age, our ability to produce adequate amounts of vitamin D diminishes until, by age 70, we can make only 10 to
20% of the amount that young skin can make when exposed to the sun. Reinhold
Vieth, PhD, in a lengthy review article about vitamin D published in the Journal of
Nutritional & Environmental Medicine (2001), brings to light the fact that full body exposure to the sun over the course of a day (measured in lifeguards and farmers) resulted in the production of 10,000 i.u. by the body (more recent studies have raised that figure to as high as 20,000 i.u.). This is nature’s idea of how much vitamin D is appropriate; yet, the commonly recommended daily allowance is only
400 i.u. Could it be that the epidemics of osteoporosis, diabetes, viral infections, and cancer are due, in part, to an inadequate amount of available vitamin D? A blood test for vitamin D is now readily available: 25-hydroxy-vitamin D. The results are usually given in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). Anything below 32 ng/ml is considered indicative of vitamin D deficiency. However, if you want maximum protection from your immune system as well as all of the other benefits that vitamin
D provides, you should shoot for an optimum blood level of between 70 and 100 ng/ml.
DOSE: If you are one who avoids the sun or if you are over 40 years of age, take
4000 to 10,000 i.u. of vitamin D as cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). This is not even close to being a toxic amount, which is estimated to be in the range of 40,000 i.u. daily. After you have taken your higher, daily dose of vitamin D for a month, have your blood level checked and adjust your dose to achieve the optimum blood level noted above. If you weigh over 200 pounds, you may need to be taking 20,000 i.u. per day. Without doing the blood test, you just won’t know; but, for sure, 400 i.u. a day of vitamin D is woefully insufficient. Because vitamin D is fat soluble, the full dose may be taken all at one time, once daily. If you don’t want to get the flu, this is your best bet to dodge that bullet!

VITAMIN K
Currently, eight varieties of vitamin K have been identified, and each one is involved with the metabolism of calcium. From a perspective of medical importance, vitamin
K1 primarily impacts the clotting system, and vitamin K2 is essential for healthy

bones; but there is a lot of overlap. The sub fraction of vitamin K2 that seems to be most active is called MK7. In addition to directing calcium into bone, MK7 discourages the deposition of calcium into the walls of your arteries, where it does not belong, and has been shown to remove calcium from arteries where it has already been deposited. This means two things: hardening of the arteries can be reversed by taking MK7, and osteoporosis can be prevented by taking MK7 (along with other, essential nutrients – see below under “SOURCE”).
For those people taking the drug Coumadin to thin their blood, the vitamin K issue is very confusing. Coumadin blocks the production of vitamin K1 in the liver, which results in delayed clotting. MK7 is a form of K2, not K1; but there is some crossover between K1 and K2 in their functions. Anyone taking Coumadin knows that maintaining a constant, therapeutic level of anticoagulation is difficult. Medical research addressing this issue has found that taking K2 actually stabilizes the anticoagulation effect of Coumadin. The trick is to take enough K2 to protect your arteries and bones, and then adjust your dose of Coumadin to produce a therapeutic level of anticoagulation as measured by the blood test “INR.” Studies of the long term effects of Coumadin have shown that it accelerates hardening of the arteries
(leading, inevitably, to heart attacks and strokes) and bone loss (leading to osteoporosis). These are very deleterious side effects of that drug which should be preventable by taking MK7.
DOSE: Vitamin K2 as MK7, about 300 mcg taken once daily.
SOURCE: MK7 is available as an isolated nutrient called “MK-7 90 mcg” from Jarrow
Formulas www.jarrow.com
It is also available in bone health formulas because it is absolutely necessary for proper bone metabolism. If you decide to take it as part of a comprehensive bone health formula, I recommend “OsteoPrime Ultra” from ITI.
*
You will need to take two tablets (or capsules) twice daily to get 300 mcg of MK7.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Fats That Heal - Fats That Kill is the title of a book by Udo Erasmus, PhD, which explains the importance of good fats. These are the “essential oils” that your body cannot make and which you must, therefore, ingest. The primary one is alpha linolenic acid (ALA), an omega- 3 oil found in high concentration in flaxseeds. The omega-3 oils are present in the membranes of every cell in your body; and, as Dr.
Erasmus documents, supplementing with flaxseed oil will have a beneficial effect on high cholesterol levels, prevention of heart attacks and strokes, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and eczema, and the prevention and treatment of some forms of cancer because the proper functioning of your immune system absolutely depends on the presence of these oils. Unfortunately as we get older, some of the omega-3 and omega-6 oils that our bodies used to be able to formulate from the essential oils can no longer be made in adequate amounts, if at all. It then becomes necessary to supplement with a combination of oils to include the omega-6 oil GLA (found in borage oil and evening primrose oil) and the oils found in high concentration in cold water fish: DHA and EPA. Consider that about 1/4 of the dry weight of your brain is exclusively DHA, and the importance of this omega-3 oil to the preservation of brain function and the prevention of senility becomes obvious.
EPA is a natural anti- coagulant and anti-inflammatory. Evidence now links heart attacks and strokes to inflammation in arteries, and inflammation in joints is called arthritis. Countering this undesirable process throughout the body reduces pain and

can be life saving.
DOSE: Take 3 to 5 grams of fish oil per day. That’s the combined gram weight of the DHA and EPA oil components in the capsules, not the total oil weight of the capsule, which will be a bigger number (confusing, I agree). In addition, you will need to take 1 or 2 tablespoons (1 tblsp = 15 cc = ½ ounce) of blended, plant-
based oils per day (usually a flaxseed and borage oil combination) gulped down as a liquid, poured over food, or taken as soft gel capsules (hard to do as capsules because 1 tblsp of liquid = 12 capsules). Check the “press” date of the liquid oil
(printed on the label). Even in the refrigerator it has a short shelf life; so, only buy a bottle containing oil that has been pressed recently.
SOURCE: I take 8 capsules (5+ grams) of a fish oil product called “EPA-DHA 720” from Metagenics, Inc.
* Developed in Norway, it has been stabilized to prolong shelf life and purified to remove toxic environmental contaminants and heavy metals.
This makes it superior to many other brands that are available. If you prefer to take the fish oil as a liquid, Metagenics makes it available as “High Concentrate EPA-DHA
Liquid.” For the flaxseed oil blend, I recommend Barlean’s “Omega Twin Balance” www.barleans.com
and “Udo’s Choice Oil Blend” by Flora, Inc. www.florainc.com
.
Regardless of whose brand you buy, be sure that it has GLA blended into it, as straight flaxseed oil does not contain that vital nutrient; and check the “press date” for assurance it’s a recently pressed product.
BLUE GREEN ALGAE
Now what about everything else? What about all of the other micronutrients
(particularly trace minerals) that we need for our bodies’ chemical pathways to work so that we heal wounds quickly, aren’t subject to getting sick, and age as slowly and gracefully as our genetic potential will allow? Wouldn’t it be great to have a multivitamin & mineral food that we could take in pill form to meet that need? Well, it does exist. It’s called blue green algae, and it is the most nutrient dense food on the planet. Blue green algae grow wild in the unpolluted waters of Upper Klamath
Lake, Oregon and contain 60+ minerals, 12 vitamins, and 20 amino acids. Because blue green algae are the original plant life form on earth, all animal life has evolved with body chemistry based on it. The micronutrients in the algae and in our bodies are present in the same proportion to each other, and those micronutrients are 97% absorbed and assimilated when the algae is eaten. Blue green algae are the ultimate multinutrient pill {for more information read Algae to the Rescue by Karl J. Abrams
(ISBN 1-889152-01-3)}; however, so many nutrients are packed into each tablet or capsule of dried/compressed algae, that only small amounts of any one nutrient are present. This may prevent a true deficiency of any single trace mineral, but it does not necessarily provide the optimum dose of some of the more important ones.
There are at least two minerals that I think need to be taken separately each day because of their incredible importance to proper immune system function: selenium
& zinc (see below).
DOSE: As few as one tablet twice daily. I take two twice daily for a total of 4 tablets a day. If you are already sick, you might benefit from taking more. It’s a whole food and it has potent energizing effects on the entire body. Research from McGill
University in Montreal has also shown that it dramatically increases the activity of natural killer cells whose function it is to eliminate cancerous and virus-infected cells from our bodies.
SOURCE: Blue Green Algae can be purchased in health food stores. One brand that

is readily available is “Klamath Blue Green Algae” from Power Organics www.powerorganics.com
.
SELENIUM & ZINC
Selenium, zinc, vitamin D & vitamin C are crucial to the proper functioning of the immune system. Selenium is the “friendly” heavy metal that competes with mercury and cadmium for binding sites in the body and brain thereby helping the body to displace and eliminate those toxic heavy metals. Selenium was shown to reduce the rates of lung, stomach, colon, and prostate cancers by about 50% when given to
Chinese villagers who live in an area of selenium deficient soil. It enables the immune system to work better and is excellent at helping the body to fight off viral infections from the common cold to herpes and hepatitis. Selenium is at the center of the molecule glutathione peroxidase, which recycles glutathione, a potent antioxidant that we all make naturally in the cells of our bodies; and it is also essential to proper thyroid function.
Zinc, likewise, is essential to the immune system, is a key player in DNA reproduction and repair, and aids in preventing macular degeneration. It does inhibit the absorption of copper. To prevent copper depletion, properly formulated preparations should contain both zinc and copper in a ratio of approximately 15:1. I recommend high dose vitamin C (30,000 to 60,000 mg a day), selenium (200 to 400 mcg twice daily), zinc (30 mg twice daily), plus your usual dose of vitamin D as the primary treatment for a viral syndrome (a cold or the flu). Take these high doses at the first sign of illness and continue to do so for 4-7 days to beat the virus. Then go back to your normal daily regimen.
DOSE: Selenium = 200 mcg daily. Zinc = 30 mg daily with about 2 mg of copper.
SOURCE: Selenium is usually sold as L-selenomethionine. It is inexpensive and readily available, but most preparations smell bad. I recommend “Selenium 200 mcg” from ITI * www.integrativeinc.com
. For zinc supplementation, I recommend "Zinc
Balance 15" by Jarrow Formulas, Inc. www.jarrow.com
(contains 15 mg of zinc + 1 mg of copper per capsule – take 2 daily) or “Zinc Picolinate Plus” by Karuna, Inc. www.karunahealth.com
(contains 25 mg of zinc + 2.5 mg of copper per capsule – take one daily).
COMMENTS & CAVEATS
I take a lot of pills (about 130 a day representing 50 different nutrients), and I’ll be the first to admit that it’s hard to do and that it’s expensive. However, I’m also happy to report that I have no adverse reactions to the nutritional supplements that
I take, and I take everything that this essay recommends plus numerous other nutraceuticals (nutritional pharmaceuticals). I do this to maintain my basic good health and to prevent the development of seemingly inevitable infirmities of aging like osteoarthritis, loss of vision from macular degeneration, and senility. Most of the rest of the world holds it to be true that food, including certain concentrates of herbs, oils, minerals, etc., can be medicinal. The erroneous concept that only prescription drugs can have therapeutic effect seems to be peculiar to Americans - particularly American physicians.
The brand names that I have recommended are the brands that I am currently

using. I have nothing to gain financially from your buying those brands versus any others. Many other companies produce nutraceuticals in these same categories that are of high quality, but many do not. This industry is not regulated by the FDA the way that the conventional drug industry is; so, now you have to be concerned about the quality of the production process of the product (brand name) as well as what product to choose for a given problem and what dose of that product is the most beneficial for that problem. I would love to recommend that you discuss these complex issues with your primary care physician or specialist, but unless you are already seeing a physician who has studied Complementary and Alternative
Medicine, you are likely to get one of several standard responses: “That just makes expensive urine,” “There’s no research to support their use,” or “Sure, go ahead, it probably won’t hurt you but...” Not very helpful.
What is important, however, is that your doctor(s) be aware that you are taking nutraceuticals so that interactions with prescription medications that you are already taking can be assessed. Drugs and nutraceuticals are chemicals; and at the molecular level in the body, all chemicals interact with each other. These interactions may be good, bad, or indifferent; but they should be noted and quantified, particularly if you are on a drug that requires regulation to a specified “therapeutic range” like Coumadin, digoxin, or antiseizure medications.
Humans are a very diverse species. The biochemical differences among us account for huge variations in how individuals respond to foods and drugs; but, while one person’s food may be another person’s poison, everyone needs the essential nutrients discussed in this essay to stay alive. Not everyone, however, will tolerate the doses that I take and have recommended. Therefore, it would be wise to start with a relatively low dose of each of these nutrients and work up to higher doses as you demonstrate to yourself that your body can tolerate that dose well and that there is no adverse interaction with any other substance you are taking.
