Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Dear , Adam and All, I have in my possession a jewel of a reference book. It is titled " Vitamin Bible for the 21st Century " by Earl Mindell. It is loaded with valuable information in small print. It has signs and symptoms of deficiency, toxicity, recommended doses, indications and what the substance does in the body. It has info about vitamins, fatty acids, minerals, chemicals such as DHEA, HGH, 5-HTP and lots lots more. It truly is a bible of a reference. This book has info on Rx drugs and which vitamins they deplete. Examples: Aspirin triples vitamin C excretion. corticosteroids (systemic and topical) decrease zinc levels. Antibiotics deplete B complex, Vitamins C, K and acidophilus, Estrogen replacement depletes B-6, BCP's deplete folic acid, vitamins B-1, B-6, B-12, C and E, NSAIDs deplete vitamins B-1, C and folic acid, Flouride depletes vitamin C, Tetracyclines deplete vitamin K, Calcium, magnesium and iron.. Best of all it can be purchased in paperback form for $7.50 brand new. It is also available on line at: www.warnerbooks.com or visit your local second hand book store (my favorite places). I hope this helps the two of you. I would encourage anyone to seek professional asistance from a pharmacist, dietician or naturopathic physician to sort out nutritional needs. Many teaching hospitals in the university setting have ongoing research in nutritionals and how they are related to trauma needs, neurologic needs, alcoholism etc. Hasta, Herbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
