Préface

Dear Readers,

I will start by saying that you are very lucky. Why? Because the book you are about to read is a code that will allow you to unlock the mysteries to many of today’s health problems. I’m sure, like everyone, you’d like to add a few more years to your life. You probably also want to improve you physical and mental capacities, prevent cardiovascular disease, arthritis, osteoarthritis, or even something as common as anxiety, fatigue or memory loss. You will find this book filled with crucial information that will help you fight these diseases or conditions. In recent decades, scientists have learned far more about health and disease than in previous centuries. Until now, nobody had assembled all of this information together in one place. Philippe Moser has intelligently condensed – in his laboratory and clinic through libraries and science- the latest findings of the research needed to transport you into a new era of vitality. Maybe you’ve heard this many times and you’re skeptical? I do not blame you. It seems that too often we are presented a silver bullet that would prevent or treat

Page 14: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

cancer, heart disease, rheumatism, arthritis and many other problems. Unfortunately, many of these miracles were without much effect. This time I am convinced that this scientific data, that is to say, verifiable facts, can really help millions of people. It is now commonly accepted (although this is not always applied) that adopting a diet based on healthy food choices along with taking nutritional supplements (vitamins and minerals) is essential to good health. Despite our efforts to stay healthy, sometimes we take medicines, whether prescribed by a doctor or bought over the counter without prescription. Unfortunately, some useful information concerning the interactions between drugs and nutrients in the body are lacking. For this reason, The Cure for your Cure is an essential book for anyone who has or intends to take doctor recommended medications. Doctor Philippe Moser has compiled a list of dangerous drug interractions, possible pharmaceutical side effect information not readily available elsewhere, and made dietary suggestions intended to correct nutrient deficiencies. This information will surprise you and convince you. Philippe Moser’s first career as an economist honed his analytical skills. His study in pharmacology, ortho-molecular medicine, micro-nutrition and homeopathic medicine makes him an expert in the field of modern pharmaceutical medicines. His findings are based on

thousands of cases from his own clinic in Florida along with research he’s collected from other medicinally-related case studies. Dr. Philippe Moser was not the first to draw the link between nutrition and vitality. Many doctors and scientists have studied this and have been published on the subject. What has earned him international recognition by the medical and scientific community is the dramatic improvement Dr. Philippe Moser’s patients have made in terms of health and vitality. In Europe his work has been widely acclaimed by doctors and pharmacists, as well as by patients seeking solutions to their chronic health problems. The public has become increasingly aware of the dangers prescribed drugs can have on their health. People are realizing that natural remedies and lifestyle changes are often far more successful than medicating the symptoms. In studying how the human body is naturally designed, we are endowed with a wealth of information. This book leads us to better comprehension of how our body works and allows us to use his latest science and nutrition information in our quest for health, longevity and maximum performance. I think this book should mark our time. “The word is out.” All concerned persons must spread the message around the world.

Introduction

The title of this book may seem strange, perhaps even bizarre, but I think after having read a few pages, you will understand the meaning.

If you have it in your hands, it's probably because a family member or a friend has recommended it to you or you have an interest in helping someone else. Perhaps you take one or more allopathic medicines, or that is the case with one of your loved ones. You probably know about the positive effects, which will relieve you or cure your immediate ailment, but there are things you are probably not aware of. In these pages you will read how medications (or at least the most consumed in the world) affect the human body and the damage they can have on your health throughout the treatment period and for a long time afterwards.

This book is an accumulation of facts, based on hundreds of medical studies. Over thirty years of pharmacological and orthomolecular medical practice has allowed me the privilege of seeing first hand how medical drugs affect our lives. The facts described here are a loud warning that I feel compelled to share.

Page 18: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

This book will help you, easily and instantly, to access to certain information about the unknown of medications you, or a member of your family is takes regularly.

This information can help you to correct or even prevent some affections, conditions or diseases.

The Cure for your Cure is a book that serves as a reference for people who take drugs (prescription and OTC) ignoring that a very large number of these drugs classified as medicines are responsible for the depletion of the body’s nutrients.

What you will find throughout the pages of this book is a list of more than 3550 of the most prescribed and most sold drugs worldwide. Information on the nutritional losses caused by these drugs is astounding; but by utilizing the nutrient/mineral depletion guide at the end of the book, the reader is empowered. Most major categories of drugs such as antibiotics, antacids, oral contraceptives, anti-anxiety drugs, NSAIDs, antidepressants, steroids, diuretics and many others are responsible for a loss of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and other essential nutrients. The imbalances they cause in the body can lead to serious health problems. Virtually all classes of drugs have side effects, many of which are irreparable with sustained use.

Page 19: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

Numerous studies outlining the dangers of certain medications have been performed over the years, some which focus on the loss of nutrients and vitamins. However, in The Cure for your Cure, a comprehensive breakdown of prescribed and OTC drugs with relation to the specific mineral and vitamin loss are listed side by side. A + B = C, to simplify. And, over time, an often overloaded process of physical breakdown can be linked to medicines and the nutritional losses they effect.

Not only for the general public.

This book is also for my fellow pharmacists and physicians and other health professionals who are leaders, health experts in the eyes of the world. Indeed, they have a professional responsibility to learn about these nutritional disturbances and to alert patients about these reactions that go unnoticed at the beginning of treatment, but that ultimately lead to many health problems, often irreversible. Pharmacists and doctors alike are very seldom informed about this. For physicians, they see articles in sporadic monthly newspapers, but nothing that really strikes them.

This book is a compendium of hundreds of studies conducted around the world, made accessible to all of those who are unaware that certain medications may reduce absorption, disrupt the use or increase the elimination of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients for good health.

Page 20: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

Information found in this book has almost never been shared with patients, and lack of knowledge can cause unpleasant and sometimes dangerous results.

It is well known that knowledge is power. The advice you will find in this book, supervised by your doctor or pharmacist, will allow you to stay healthier during your treatment and may even prevent many problems in the long term.

Some figures reveal

The French are among the Europeans who take the most pharmaceutical medications and have the longest lasting treatments. According to some statistics, almost 50% of French adults take medication regularly and nearly 20% of those are taking three or more medications two to three times a day. In 50% of cases, the medications are composed of four to six different drugs. In 25% of cases, they have more than six. One pill can be a cocktail of many different substances. In France, the consumption of medicinal drugs is two to six times higher than that of other European countries. It raises the question... do the French live a better and healthier quality of life?

In the U.S., prescription and OTC drugs are responsible for about 100,000 deaths per year. In France, the figures

Page 21: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

21

vary between 9,000 and 13,000 deaths per year, leaving doctors feeling powerless against this phenomenon.

If one considers an average of 10,000 deaths per year, this represents two to three times more deaths than those caused by road accidents. Each year in France alone, there are over 120,000 hospitalizations due to certain side effects of drugs.

This represents between 10 and 20% of admissions. With increased consumption, the higher the risk of pharmaceutical drug interactions that cause severe health breakdown and sometimes death.

In France, only health professionals are allowed to report adverse drug reactions in pharmacovigilance centers. It is interesting that patients can also provide information on the effects they have experienced, though not on an official platform. Since 1993, people in the U.S. have been able to document their side effects they experienced when using pharmaceutical and OTC drugs to a national organization. Often, some side effects reported by patients are not described by the laboratories manufacturers, which raise an alarm on many levels.

Make your Medicines Beneficial not Destructive

Page 24: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

Medicines are not magic; they are powerful tools that should be used cautiously, knowing that they can create imbalances. Regardless of the specificity with which a drug is intended, it will have effects that go beyond the expected actions. This leads to side effects.

Taking a drug is not a casual gesture. Adverse reactions to drugs are a real health problem. A drug is not a mere commodity; it affects our health, a primordial for us all. Problem of dosage

Medications are prescribed and marketed in a standardized way: the same dose for each adult. A woman aged 85 years, weighing 100 pounds and taking five medications a day receives the same dosage as a young sportsman of 250 pounds! This similarity of dosage, is prescribed without taking into account our biological individuality which is influenced by gender, body size, individual genetics, the difference in nutritional status and other factors. For example, women who tend to require lower doses than men may experience more serious side effects when they receive the same dosage as those given to men. Studies originally conducted to determine the dosage levels of some drugs showed that at least 75% of test subjects were men. These studies generally correlate to the general population.

The many patients I have followed that took multiple medications over a long period showed a deterioration of their health. This is not surprising for two reasons: first, drugs gradually deplete nutrient levels of the patient, and secondly, the problem itself has not been treated, only the symptoms. The Miracle Drug

When you go to your doctor, you want him to prescribe a treatment that can heal you quickly. A large majority of people has been convinced by medical books, magazines or websites that all our health problems were the result of our genetics or our biochemistry, and a drug could fix the problem. But incredibly, only a small percentage of what is wrong with our body is due to genetics and biochemistry. For most of us, what is wrong is the result of an unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, an excess of food, lack of exercise and sleep, chronic stress, and over-exposure to thousands of toxic chemicals.

Too many people have put their health in the hands of their doctor, thinking that this "medical protection" allows them to consume as much sugar, fat, caffeine and alcohol as they wish without concern for their well being. Some

Page 26: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

people think that they can simply go to the doctor and get a prescription to solve all their problems. Not so. We must take responsibility for our bodies and do everything we can to keep them healthy.

The concept of preventative health care is far more successful than trying to treat the disease once a person becomes ill. In the U.S., advertising for drugs (even prescription) is permitted on television. The very talented publicists show you the unfortunate people afflicted with problems and, after discovering "the" drug, are restored to a glorious state. If you are not distracted by these beautiful images and all is well in the best of worlds, you can hear the myriad of possible side effects (sometimes severe) caused by this notorious drug. One wonders, on hearing the long litany of potentially harmful side effects, how a product with so many adverse reactions could be approved for sale, prescribed by doctors, and sold by pharmacists! Some medications are not as promising as one might have thought, or worse, they can have very serious side effects that can cause death. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that each year more than 100,000 deaths occur from medication taken correctly, as prescribed by their physician. It has become the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and

Page 27: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

27

Prevention), there are over 1.5 million patients a year who end up in emergency rooms due to side effects from medical treatments, including prescription medications and surgery.

More than a dozen drugs approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) were later deemed unsafe and were removed from the market; but not until thousands of people worldwide had died after taking them. The problems associated with these faulty medications were either not detected or did not seem clinically significant in their research studies. Although it is not uncommon for medical testing to conclude broad-range results based on just a few hundred people.

Some of these side effects can be attributed to nutritional depletion. Indeed, prescription and OTC drugs can serve as a sort of blocker to nutrients, causing poor absorption of certain minerals or vitamins and/or accelerated elimination. The consequences range from annoying symptoms such as fatigue, headaches and sleep disorders to more serious consequences such as a weakened immune system, depression, cardiovascular problems, and osteoporosis.

All doctors and pharmacists know that diuretics cause an increased loss of potassium. However, very few people know that aspirin, for example, triggers a loss of calcium,

Page 28: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

iron, sodium, potassium, folic acid, vitamin B5 and C, or that certain oral contraceptives disrupt the metabolism of folic acid, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E and magnesium, selenium and zinc. Sadly, many health professionals are simply not aware of the dangers associated with medications - primarily because this problem has not been sufficiently highlighted.

There have been several studies done on the correlations between medicines and nutrient loss. The dilemma is that none of the information has been compiled into one, easy reference guide. Massive amounts of information exist in random publications, but doctors often lack the time to read these reviews. Minimal time is given to educating medical students on nutrition, micronutrients and the metabolic disturbance caused to a large number of vital nutrients by certain synthetic molecules. Quite simply, doctors need to advise their patients to take certain supplements called, Metabolism Nutrient Regulators to restore disturbed functions and replenish the body’s vital nutrients.

Why I wrote this book

I wrote this book for the sick and/or people with diseases and conditions requiring the monitoring of drug treatments. This is not a medical book, which explains how drugs work, but rather a reference book that warns users about drug interactions and lends a voice to the rarely-discussed depletion (exhaustion, reduction, impoverishment) of

Page 29: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

29

nutrients (minerals, vitamins) essential to life. This book will also give you advice to counterbalance these effects by taking very simple measures that embrace Nature’s design. This book does not provide information on all drugs on the market, only those that have been described by many pharmacists, physicians and scientists as nutrient disruptors. My goal is to keep you as healthy as possible during your treatment and for many years after. Even if you are not currently taking any medications, this resource will allow you to prepare for the possibilities of future treatments. The foods you eat, lifestyle choices and environmental factors all play a significant role in our well-being. Knowing how to best compensate for vitamin and nutrient losses can only help improve the quality of life. This work is intended to inspire and motivate people to live without unnecessary health problems. The empowering knowledge of how the human body performs best and under what conditions we need to adjust can save significant amounts of time, money and, most importantly, suffering. I do not disparage medicines used consciously and with great care when needed and under the supervision of a physician, pharmacist or health practitioner. Medicines have saved countless lives and improved the health of many. My life as a health professional is one I have dedicated to the betterment of life in general. I admire and

Page 30: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

respect the advantages so many drugs have provided to the world. It is with additional information and understanding of these drugs that I bring to you, The Cure for your Cure.

First hand accounts with real patients and highly respected medical experts give crucial documentation and proven results. I strongly advise knowing as much as you can about the medicines you are taking simply so that you can maximize your healing process.

How to use this book?

The Cure for your Cure is a reference tool. In Chapter 5, you will find the guide in which more than 3550 drugs are classified by category. There is also an index, beginning on page 302, that allows you to search out a specific drug using either the brand name (Motrin for example), or the International Nonproprietary Name: INN (Ibuprofen in the case of Motrin). The INN is the worldwide classification that makes referencing it the same everywhere in the world. When you find the medicine you are looking for, please refer to the page indicated. There, a simple table will indicate the possible side effects, the list of nutrients that this drug robs you of and the potential health problems that may affect you. You will find out which foods or

Page 31: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

31

supplements may help offset these deficiencies and what the twelve organs of your body do specifically in relation to your nervous and immune systems.

I could not write this book without talking about the depletion caused by “the big three drugs" used globally: alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. In this regard please refer to Chapter 6. You may be surprised to learn that these frequently used substances have very real deficiency-causing results.

The final step is to discuss what you have discovered with your doctor and pharmacist. Remember, even if the drug(s) you are taking interfere(s) with one or more mineral or one or more vitamins, you should discuss any concerns you have with your doctor prior to changing your medicines. You can also go to my website, www.medicaments-and-nutriments.com. You simply enter the name of your medication (brand or generic) in the search box and it will tell you what nutritional losses (deficiency of vitamins and minerals) as well as potential health problems you may face . Depending on your medication(s) you will also find the Nutrient Regulation of Metabolism recommended to correct or prevent deficiencies caused by your medication(s). If you do not find the product you are looking for, it's probably because there is not currently

Page 32: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

enough research on the molecule concerned.

What I want to accomplish with this book is to help people avoid getting into a “vicious circle” of chronic health concerns. People over 50 are most affected by this scenario. Below is an actual case study:

Patrick, at the time, was 64 years old. Having suffered for many months with pain in his fingers, he finally decided to seek treatment. His doctor gave him a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and prescribed Celebrex (Celecoxib). Patrick’s pain was considerably reduced, but after a few weeks he developed anxiety and moreover, he found himself increasingly constipated and bloated. His doctor explained there was no reason to worry, as those were very common side effects of an anti-inflammatory. He prescribed Ativan (Lorazepam) to help him with his anxiety and a laxative, Milk of Magnesia, to address his constipation. The anti-anxiety drug helped Patrick feel better emotionally and the laxative alleviated his constipation; however, Patrick soon began to feel tired and his stomach bothered him. When Patrick returned to see his doctor, his doctor assured him that all of his symptoms were a series of side effects from the newly prescribed medications and not to worry. The doctor prescribed a new medicine to fight against fatigue and another for his upset stomach, but also cautioned Patrick that there could be additional side effects.

Page 33: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

33

The true story of Patrick is unfortunate but very common. You may even have lived it. You have a problem; your doctor prescribes a medication. The drug works but it causes side effects. Naturally, you return to your doctor who prescribes one or two drugs to eliminate the side effects from the first medicine. This new product solves the problem of the first medication, but it causes other problems. You go to the doctor who continues to prescribe medications with the sole purpose of fighting the side effects of the initial medications.

If it was absolutely necessary to preserve life, it would be easier to accept. You would simply swallow your daily chemical cocktail and hope for the best. But this is not the case; you do not have to be overwhelmed by a wave of synthetic products that can make you sicker than you were originally.

Most people think that the side effects of drugs are the inevitable consequences of mysterious biochemical processes that we can neither understand nor influence. But many side effects can be understood and treated. These millions of treatable side effects are the direct result of a nutritional deficiency. In other words, a medicine "steals" a number of nutrients essential for the proper functioning of the body. In a sense, some chemical molecules act as an "anti-vitamin, anti-mineral”, inhibiting certain substances

Page 34: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

you need to be in good health. Thus, drugs are not directly responsible for many side effects associated with them. It is the "theft" of nutrients by these medications that causes the downward spiral of side effects to happen.

In the previous example, Patrick’s doctor had prescribed Celebrex to counteract the pain of osteoarthritis. This well-known anti-inflammatory, prescribed to millions of patients worldwide, depletes the body of potassium, sodium and folic acid. Research has shown that low levels of potassium in the body as well as folic acid can cause anxiety, fatigue and depression. Unfortunately, few physicians are aware of this domino effect and try to remedy the problem with more drugs instead of replacing the minerals and nutrients that have been eliminated from the body. Replacing the needed potassium and folic acid is the only real fix. Added medications bring added depletions, which correlates to added health problems.

The second drug that the doctor prescribed to Patrick, Ativan, depletes reserves of calcium, melatonin, biotin, folic acid, vitamin D and K in the body. Milk of Magnesia deplete the body of calcium, zinc, chromium, iron, phosphorus, folic acid, vitamin A and D. Conclusion: Patrick innocently thought that Celebrex would relieve his joint pain (which it did), but it also brought on a slew of destructive side effects, which in turn caused more side

Page 35: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

35

effects. That is what is called a "vicious circle" and leads to chronic illness, years of hardship and often premature death. I’m not putting Celecoxib or lorazepam on trial here, nor the doctor who wanted to do his best to help Patrick. However, a doctor armed with more knowledge about nutrition and the relationship between the essential minerals and nutrients in the body and how medications affect those minerals and nutrients might have advised Patrick to take vitamin and mineral supplements. If you need to take medication, simply knowing the side effects and problems you may encounter will empower you with ways to treat your body in more productive ways.

How do drugs work?

Page 38: Cure for the Cure

In principle, most allopathic tests are performed on adults aged 25-50 years, yet they can act very differently in children, pregnant or menopausal women and especially among the elderly for which the absorption of nutrients and the performance of liver functions are less effective. Many factors may influence the effect of a drug on an individual: gender, age, body size, genetics, pregnancy, disease, over-consumption of alcohol or food, interaction with other drugs in the body, stress, poor digestion, liver or kidney disease, nutritional deficiencies, and exposure to thousands of toxic products (exhaust gases, paints, solvents, pesticides, insecticides and many others). All these factors can significantly increase or decrease one’s tolerance to a drug. We need a variety of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids) to metabolize our foods into forms that our cells can process. This very important function is handicapped by the use of many pharmaceuticals, which themselves go through changes when the body digests them. The drainage system of drugs

The four major routes to eliminate drugs from the body are the kidneys, liver, skin and lungs. Most drugs are metabolized through the liver and kidneys. If you suffer

Page 39: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

39

from liver or kidney problems, how your body metabolizes the medications you take will be greatly affected. Liver or kidney damage increases the concentration of chemicals in all areas of the body because the normal process of excretion is slowed considerably.

Some concepts of biology

The human body is a natural wonder. It has the capacity to heal itself as long as we pay attention to it, treat it with care and nourish it correctly. Even under conditions of great stress, the body often has the capacity to adapt and perform fairly well. For this extraordinary machine to perform 24 hours a day, you must give it adequate fuel. If this fuel is not "refined", the machine will not perform to its maximum capacity. The fuel we give our body comes directly from our diet. The food we eat contains nutrients in the form of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other substances. These are all fundamental components that keep us alive by providing us with the basics that our bodies need to perform their daily tasks.

The cells of our bodies live, breathe, ingest, digest, excrete, grow and multiply. They are immersed in interstitial fluid in which they find the essential elements necessary for life. Within the interstitial fluid are different molecules, including minerals. It is at this level that vital

Page 40: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

exchanges between the cell and the external environment will take place.

The interstitial fluid is where energy is stored. It is fed constantly by the blood vessels that bring the smaller molecules from food. It’s like a highway of molecular traffic between different parts of the body that dramatize the incredible importance of minerals at every level of the human body’s makeup. If we do not provide the correct nutrients in the right quantity, we can disrupt these normal functions and cause problems. Even if no symptoms or signs of illness are apparent, this does not mean that we are healthy. Mineral deficiencies, over time, will weaken the body. The importance of minerals and trace elements

Virtually all functions and all organs of our body depend on the presence of minerals. They participate in the absorption of vitamins, proteins, hormones, amino acids and enzymes in the body.

The human body is 96% oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. The remaining 4% are minerals, mainly represented by calcium, phosphorus and potassium.

The minerals and trace elements are essential to many life processes and the prevention of many diseases.

Page 41: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

41

The body can’t produce minerals; they must be supplied by food or nutritional supplements, highlighting the importance to take care to eat good, organic foods. It is known that the absorption of many minerals in the human body declines with age. Furthermore, stress and exposure to pollution taxes the body, accelerating the “aging process”. Today’s lifestyles make it even more necessary to regulate the intake of vitamins and minerals. Micronutrients are essential to the functioning of enzymes and no life can exist without them. Specific enzymes correspond to specific micronutrients.

How do pharmaceuticals work?

The human body is composed of about two hundred types of cells that contain trace elements at three distinct levels: nuclear, cytoplasmic and membrane. These "trace elements" have a versatile action. They allow the realization of many processes of transformation and assimilation of our food and tissue renewal. They regulate the metabolism by acting as catalysts to body functions and activating enzymes. They are considered as cofactors of enzymatic reactions. They also play an important role in protein synthesis and stability.

What causes nutritional deficiencies?

The demonstration of a nutrient deficiency will be highly variable depending on the severity of impairment in relation to the subject's needs, depending on the length of this gap and the period of life during which it appears. A moderate deficiency may easily go unnoticed due to lack of specific symptoms related to a functional deficit. It is often manifested by a small number of visible signs, such as a disturbance of the immune system, which weakens certain defense mechanisms and allows for the development of degenerative diseases. These diseases involve many risk factors related to the environment, diet and our individual genetic makeup. The possibility of disease is ever-present and by allowing our cells to become weak due to a lack of nutrients and minerals, the disease-prone cells inherently become stronger.

Deficiency of an essential trace element creates a sequence of disturbances that may be a potential problem. When the latent disease explodes, it is too late to correct the deficiency. The correction of the deficit does not return to square one, but the correction may promote extension of remission brought about by adequate treatment. At the root of the installation of a deficiency are one or several factors: - Inadequate food intake - Insufficient bioavailability - Increasing needs - Defective processing - Reduced

absorption - Increased losses/excretion

Pregnant women, children, and the elderly are in the life stages when these deficiencies are most pronounced. These imbalances occur as well because of malnutrition, alcoholism, stress, excessive athletic activities, and poor nutrition. Another cause of these deficits is the transformation of how and what we eat. Indeed, our food has undergone profound changes over recent decades and has become higher in fat and simple sugars and depleted in essential nutrients. We eat less, but we eat too many "empty calories", that is to say, the food we eat brings in a high level of calories but offers little in the way of essential nutrients. Foods that contain almost no nutritional value are often highly concentrated in sugar or fat but very low in minerals and vitamins (pastries, sweets, fried food, ice cream, soft drinks, sweetened juices, etc..).

Factors involved in the depletion nutrients in our food Large scale farms that often grow single crops without proper rotation, deforestation, the application of pesticides on food crops, lack of plant diversity and poor fertilization limit the land’s ability to maintain its nutritional characteristics. The agricultural production methods have changed, the fruits and vegetables we consume are selected

Page 44: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

for their productivity, good storability and transport, their beautiful shape, color and appearance. However, their nutritional characteristics are rarely taken into account by the grocery chains and producers. Fruits and vegetables are often harvested before fully ripening, which does not allow them to achieve an optimal vitamin and mineral count. New varieties of crops are not as rich in phytonutrients today as they were just 50 to 100 years ago. In addition, processing and refining foods removes many minerals and trace elements, reducing many family meals to empty calories. All of these factors lower the nutritional quality of fruits and vegetables. Moreover, industrially produced foods show a marked decrease in the concentration of essential nutrients. How to detect a deficiency?

Several laboratory methods can highlight weaknesses or deficiencies in minerals and trace elements. It is possible to determine qualitatively and quantitatively by techniques of atomic emission or absorption. Research and concentration of minerals and trace elements are performed on different biological environments, usually in the blood, urine or hair. These techniques require very high precision

Page 45: Cure for the Cure

equipment. The plasma emission spectrometry is a technique for detection and quantification used.

One of the devices that I have personally used and found in most laboratories is the Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). These techniques ensure reliable analysis and at very low detection thresholds. The mass spectrometer, a device more sensitive than the one I was working with, proved to be a particularly powerful analytical tool which, thanks to very low detection limits, is an instrument of choice in clinical applications.

These mineral analyses allowed me to understand that the micronutrient is an essential factor to maintain a healthy person. These many years of research on the prevention and treatment of diseases make me believe that the most important factor in the approach to illness is the need to treat the whole person. Knowing that the human body is a whole, intricately linked system, it becomes clear that treating a particular organ is not sufficient. It makes no sense to treat only the symptoms without eradicating the cause responsible for the disease.

If one wants to improve his health and keep it, we must correct the cause, not the symptom. Hippocrates said: "We must find the cause and the causes of the cause." Whatever the disease: diabetes, hypertension, allergies, cancer, arthritis etc.., all organs must be treated so that the original equilibrium is restored.

Page 46: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

It must be remembered that the body often heals itself if given adequate resources. The synthetic drugs do not repair the tissues, they treat the symptoms. Nutrients repair tissues and act on the cause of the problem, which is often a damaged immune system. For more scientific information, please refer to Chapter 7 (Scientific studies and personal experience, p. 227).

Do you need Metabolic Nutrients Regulation?

Some people say that you do not need supplements if you follow a balanced diet. I'm sorry, but I do not subscribe to this philosophy. The question is not: "Should I take a supplement?” Naturally, you should! The question is: "What should I take for my personal needs?" Nutritional supplements should be part of the arsenal in place to maintain health.

Doctors and nutrients

Even skeptical doctors take supplements. Indeed, a survey conducted on a panel of 181 cardiologists found that 50% of them regularly took antioxidants, including vitamin C and vitamin E. However, only 37% recommend supplements to their patients.

The findings for people dedicated to food health turned up different statistics. A survey in Washington State showed that out of the 665 nutritionists questioned, over 60% take nutritional supplements.

Page 47: Cure for the Cure

Today, advances in nutrition have helped to highlight deficiencies on many essential nutrients. The importance of phytoconstituents in plants is also being recognized as having a major influence on health and an incredibly important substance in the prevention of disease. Despite their openness, all general practitioners do not always have time to keep abreast of developments in complementary therapies. During their studies at medical school, their training in nutrition and alternative therapies is barely addressed. Even doctors who are skeptical of supplements are required to prescribe iron to treat certain types of anemia, vitamin A for acne or B vitamins to relieve various neuropathies; and they don’t hesitate to recommend fish oil in cases of hypercholesterolemia.

Nutritional objectives to achieve

According to recent surveys, our diet is often deficient in several minerals and vitamins. In 20% of men, 30% women and 50% of adolescents, the recommended intake of calcium is far from being achieved. This applies to magnesium in 20% of adults, and for folic acid in 25% of women. Even with a carefully designed nutritional plan, it is difficult to achieve the recommended levels of iron, particularly for adolescents and women, and is a major risk for those who adopt a vegetarian diet. In 30% of adults, vitamin E is very inadequate, particularly in cases of a restricted or low fat diet.

Page 48: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

Risks linked to the environment

Even when one has good eating habits, other reasons may encourage them to take control of nutrient metabolism. Some scientists believe that when we are exposed to pollutants (automobile exhaust, chemical residues of any kind, tainted water) there is significant damage at the cellular level and is debilitating to the immune system. We know that alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and certain medications prevent the assimilation of different nutrients in the body. It is possible to establish nutritional programs that address these problems and that can limit the damage in the body.

What is a nutritional depletion?

Page 50: Cure for the Cure

50

Nutritional depletion may be defined by a gradual decrease in the amount of certain nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, for example) present in the body. Before going into the core of this important subject, it is necessary to clarify some points. The lines that follow will help you better understand the role of nutrients and, especialy, minerals.

Dr. Linus Pauling (1901-1994)

We can’t talk about orthomolecular medicine without mentioning Dr. Pauling. He is one of only four people, with Marie Curie, John Bardeen and Frederick Sanger, to receive two Nobel prizes. In addition, Linus Pauling is the only one who didn’t share any of his two awards with another person.

The sentence that made Linus Pauling famous is

" You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” This sentence alone states, quite simply, how minerals play a role in our health. Needs of the human body Nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids, enzymes, coenzymes and antioxidants are essential for the proper functioning of the body. These nutrients are

Page 51: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

51

dependent on minerals, which are only obtained through our diet. Moreover, the concentration of minerals in our food depends on the content of the soil in which they are grown. Thus, if the soils are poor in minerals, so are our foods, and therefore our body. If the body does not receive the correct raw materials it needs, health problems and degenerative diseases occur. Unfortunately, most of the foods we buy are severely depleted of their nutrients. Considerations - Due to declining soil fertility and agricultural food processing, most people do not get the vitamins and minerals they need from their food. - Vitamins are needed for every biochemical activity of the human body, but they can’t operate without the presence of minerals. - Minerals are catalysts that enable enzymes to function. - A deficiency of one mineral may disrupt the entire body making other minerals ineffective. - The supply of mineral supplements in the daily diet is justified when one considers that most fruits and vegetables are grown in soils deficient in minerals and moreover, many fruits and vegetables are picked green, therefore very poor in nutrients.

Page 52: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

Mineral depletion of farmland and Senate Document # 264 In 1936, Rex Beach presented to the Senate document #264, which developed the research of Dr. Charles Northern on the impoverishment of agricultural soils in this country. By then, the soils of North America were considered poor in minerals and it was estimated that 99% of Americans showed mineral deficiencies. Meanwhile, Dr. William Albrecht (President of the department of soil science at the University of Missouri), an expert in soil studies, conducted studies on the calcium content of soils. The results showed that soil with a sufficient level of calcium produced plants in greater quantity and with better quality protein. Dr. Northern concluded: "The healthier the plant, the healthier the person". The studies then showed what they are now confirmed: vegetables, fruits, milk and even animal products consumed today do not provide the same rich nutrition as was consumed a century ago. The overuse of land, acid rain, the abandonment of fallow combined with the effects of pesticides, herbicides, water and air pollution, and toxic silage have slowly drained the soil of its vital components.

Page 53: Cure for the Cure

The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 This meeting resulted in a formal document that stated

the world’s agricultural soils were deficient in minerals. The results of this study showed the United States had the most depleted soils with an average of 85% mineral depletion over the course of a century. Europe ranked fifth, with a mineral depletion of 72%. A plant may produce proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, enzymes and other components, but it can not manufacture minerals. In reality, it needs minerals to manufacture these components. The way for the plant to get minerals is to tap into the ground. As the soil quality gets poorer, the less plants get enriched. In just fifty years of intensive farming, soils have lost 90% of their biological activity.

Nutritional depletion (reduced quantity)

One of the causes of defects and deficiencies in nutrient intake of certain drugs that often adds a deficit of use to a lack of supply. This lack of use is characterized by the decrease, inhibition of absorption, the decrease in bioavailability, synthesis, transport, storage, metabolism or excretion of certain nutrients.

A large number of medical studies (see page 198) have shown that some of the most prescribed medications (but

Page 54: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

also some non-prescription drugs) are responsible for disrupting important minerals, vitamins and other nutrients essential for the proper functioning of the human body.

When we take a drug, we think only to relieve the pain we feel at that moment, or to correct a condition or function. We do not believe that we are creating a deficiency or an imbalance in our body. The fact is that many pharmaceuticals (prescription and OTC) interfere with our nutritional balance.

Drugs can affect nutritional status in four ways: - Some medications can reduce appetite, resulting in a reduction in the intake of vitamins or minerals.

- They can interfere with nutrient absorption, causing deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.

Some drugs are endowed with chelating properties vis-à-vis the minerals and trace elements they contain in a compound that makes the metal inactive compared to the enzyme, which depends on its presence.

- They can also alter the way the body uses or carries a nutrient. They can increase the elimination of vitamins and minerals, which are removed more rapidly than they are replaced.

Page 55: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

55

Diuretics or laxatives are examples of drugs that increase the elimination of certain nutrients.

What are the long-term consequences?

On the pathophysiological level, nutrient deficiency can have serious consequences. The use of certain drugs disrupts the optimal nutritional status, which in turn can change the course of the disease, interfere with the recovery and increase the possibility of other health problems. The nutritional deficiencies related to taking medication develop gradually and are often not detected until they are declared. It happens that some irreversible problems develop. Some allopathic treatments have side effects due to chelation thereby blocking the essential enzymatic reactions: including certain antibiotics, steroids, diuretics and aspirin, chelate magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, selenium, zinc and many others.

The importance of good nutrition is now officially recognized, but recent surveys show that many people, whatever their age; do not get the recommended amounts of essential nutrients. Such behavior may, in the long term, threaten health. The risks are more immediate for children

Page 56: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

and adolescents, pregnant women and elderly patients with poor resistance to these nutritional deficiencies.

Many of us know that a severe shortage of vitamin C can cause scurvy or other serious problems, and a significant loss of calcium can cause osteoporosis. But what about nutrient deficiencies? Are they really a problem? Yes. This is a serious problem; even minor deficiencies can cause major difficulties.

"Drug-induced nutrient depletion "

The medical term, “drug-induced nutrient depletion” (nutrient depletion induced by drugs) has become a hot topic because it has such a vital significance for health professionals and the public.

This side effect, which is the nutritional depletion, does not make headlines because it has no obvious or immediate effect. However, after months or years, the intake of certain chemical compounds can cause nutritional deficiencies responsible for diseases and/or the worsening of the disease you were trying to heal. I do not mean to imply that this depletion is the cause of your problems; but I am convinced that the loss of vitamins and nutrients correlates to poor health, especially when you absorb different medicines that may additionally impoverish the same nutrient(s).

Page 57: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

57

These depletions fall into the category of "silent killers". Indeed, it is true that their often dramatic effects are not immediate side effects such as digestive disorders, dizziness, headaches, blackouts, etc.

Many people who are nutritionally deficient because of their treatment may feel that their problems are new symptoms or side effects associated with this treatment. Unfortunately, this can lead these people to consume more and more drugs, which will only exacerbate the problem. Each person taking one or more drugs should be advised of the possibility of potential disruption caused by nutritional treatment. Depletion due to the drug is real; it's not something that scientists are trying to prove. It has been proven in countless studies. Although these studies have been published for many years, people still suffer needlessly, simply because this information has not been sufficiently disseminated.

A person suffering from heart disease or high blood pressure will probably have insufficient amounts of coenzyme Q10 and folic acid. Unfortunately, the drugs commonly prescribed to treat these conditions tend to reduce these very nutrients. It is possible to think that if the patient had taken coenzyme Q10 and folic acid; perhaps they could have avoided the heart disease and high blood pressure. Thus, millions of people develop serious

Page 58: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

disorders in which nutritional deficiencies play a significant role. They eventually take medications that often cause a reduction of these nutrients or other nutrients.

The most commonly used drugs that cause these disruptions of vitamins and minerals include aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

These health problems, which not only cause a decline in the quality of life, pose a considerable cost to Social Security, therefore the taxpayer. Huge savings could be realized each year through simple fixes: a few simple and inexpensive targeted nutrients required daily to patients who need to significantly reduce the risk of contracting certain diseases. One can imagine the millions of dollars saved on the overall cost of health!

An Overview of some Disrupting Drug Categories

Page 62: Cure for the Cure

62

I have compiled below a condensed list of some categories of drugs that can disrupt the proper functioning of vitamins and minerals in the body.

Antibiotics

As their names suggest, antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria. Unfortunately, this class of drugs does not differentiate between good and bad bacteria. Most antibiotics kill the essential friendly bacteria that live in our gut, thereby depriving us of their beneficial action. In recent decades, new technologies have enabled a better understanding of the beneficial effects of friendly bacteria. Scientists have discovered that these microorganisms are involved in many functions such as digestion and the absorption of nutrients, production of certain vitamins (like those of group B that help the body to extract energy from food), the prevention of certain cancers, detoxification of pollutants and cholesterol metabolism. The most common friendly bacteria are Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium (bifidus). These bacteria maintain the acid-base balance at the correct level, thus enabling the optimal functioning of enzymes. They slow the growth of many toxins, providing vital support to the immune system cells found in the intestines.

Moreover, they normally make a wide variety of vitamins in the intestinal tract: vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, biotin, inositol and vitamin K.

Page 63: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

63

By interfering with these beneficial bacteria, antibiotics can also reduce our reserves of vitamin K, important for blood clotting and distribution of calcium into bones. This reduction in vitamin K may contribute, among other things, to osteoporosis. If you are taking antibiotics for a short period of time and you eat a wide variety of nutritious foods, you will likely replace these bacteria and probably not suffer any serious effects. But if you take antibiotics frequently or over a long period of time, or your diet is not very nutritious, or if your level of vitamin K is limited, you may suffer from failure of blood clotting.

Some antibiotics also cause a deficiency in vitamin C, which can lead to a weakened immune system and increase the susceptibility to various diseases.

Antibiotics can interfere with absorption of nutrients from food. For example, tetracyclines can bind to calcium in the digestive tract, making it very difficult or impossible to use this vital element. Neomycin may hinder the ability to absorb more nutrients by damaging the inner lining of the digestive tract.

Antibiotics can also bind magnesium and thus block a large number of enzymes dependent on this mineral.

If a person following an antibiotic treatment does not take additional friendly bacteria, pathogen bacteria have the opportunity to grow and proliferate. This can cause additional health problems, such as candidiasis. An imbalance of the intestinal ecosystem which may cause a

Page 64: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

variety of symptoms and problems that include acne, diarrhea, constipation, premenstrual syndrome, candidiasis, chronic infection of the bladder and vagina, food allergies, bad breath, osteoporosis, anemia, anxiety, and poor absorption in general.

One patient on antibiotics should take high doses of probiotics twice daily with meals and two hours apart and continue one week after stopping treatment.

Page 65: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

65

Anticonvulsants

Most antiepileptic drugs cause a decrease in calcium absorption in the intestine. Patients who receive AEDs are therefore at higher risk of developing calcium deficiency. Taking calcium will not solve this problem because this disability is the result of a deficiency in vitamin D, needed for calcium absorption. This requires that patients take vitamin D to facilitate calcium absorption and preventing bone problems like rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults, but also hypertension, muscle cramps, heart palpitations, back pain, insomnia and nervous problems.

The class of antiepileptic drugs also causes a loss of folic acid that can lead to serious health problems, especially among women.

Folic acid is a precursor of methionine (an essential amino acid that the body can’t synthesize) among others, and plays a role in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, the two molecules that carry our genetics involved in cell reproduction. Folic Acid is very useful when a cell in the body requires a fast turnover (blood cells, stomach, intestines, mouth, skin), and thus during periods such as childhood and adolescence it is even more critical.

This vitamin is essential for proper brain function as it allows the synthesis of certain neurotransmitters, primarily norepinephrine and by extension that of serotonin and dopamine.

Page 66: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

It regulates the blood count and has very beneficial effects on all of these elements. An adequate intake of vitamin B9 and vitamin B12 help prevent iron deficiency and help your body fight against various infections.

Many studies have shown that there is a close link between high levels of homocysteine and the risk or the occurrence of circulatory accident. Homocysteine is a sulfur amino acid derived from methionine.

Its increase is often a deficiency in cobalamin (vitamin B12) or folate (vitamin B9). Now, researchers recognize that we can reduce the risk of accident by acting on the excess homocysteine. Supplementation with B vitamins and especially folic acid or vitamin B9, significantly reduced blood levels of homocysteine.

The folic acid deficiency may also be responsible for cervical dysplasia (abnormal cells develop on the cervix),

headache, fatigue, loss of hair, diarrhea, nausea, anorexia, insomnia or even depression.

A folic acid deficiency is also associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer or colon.

Anticonvulsants may also cause a metabolic disturbance of copper, selenium, zinc, sodium or phosphorus, and vitamins B1, B3, B6 and B12, E and K, biotin, carnitine, melatonin, and omega 3. (Depending on the molecules: phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital or valproic acid).

Chemotherapy Drugs

Millions of patients are undergoing chemotherapy to treat various cancers and studies show that these patients are deficient in many nutrients.

Some of these drugs damage the lining of the intestine, which inhibits the absorption of many nutrients. Some patients feel a loss of appetite, difficulty chewing or swallowing, and the inability to taste certain foods. They may even develop an aversion to certain foods. For some patients, the absorption of food causes nausea, diarrhea or vomiting, which exacerbates the loss of vitamins and minerals. All this may force them to reduce their food intake and to eat their favorite foods or only the foods they can tolerate. Chemotherapy may also destroy the cells of

the gastrointestinal tract, making it difficult to absorb the nutrients available at each meal. Patients undergoing chemotherapy may therefore suffer from numerous nutritional deficiencies. It is essential that patients receiving such treatment ask their oncologist what nutrients they can take to balance the nutritional losses caused by this therapy.

Dr. Philippe Moser

Hypolipidemic

There are three sub-classes: statins, fibrates and bile acid chelating resins.

1 - Statins and coenzyme Q10

The massive use of statins in the United States and worldwide is due to the belief that lowering cholesterol by any means will reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke. But the new research shows that the link between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease has been greatly exaggerated.

Statins have become the dominant class of drugs used to treat high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and are among the most prescribed worldwide. Millions of people in the US take a drug in this class, and millions more will soon follow suit as educational programs on cholesterol suggest that even people with normal blood cholesterol should follow such a treatment.

It is certain that statins reduce cholesterol. They decrease the action of an enzyme called HMG CoA reductase, which is the precursor of cholesterol. But this enzyme plays a different role: it helps to produce a substance called coenzyme Q10. Thus, while statins reduce cholesterol production, they also reduce the production of coenzyme Q10.

Page 69: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

69

Coenzyme Q10 is a substance similar to a vitamin. It plays an important role in the functions of the heart and arteries (blood pressure).

The body can synthesize CoQ10 according to his needs; however, with age, the production decreases. Patients with cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure or certain cancers have low levels of CoQ10. A CoQ10 deficiency can cause increased blood pressure, heart rate, reduced production of insulin, a loss of energy or a weakened immune system. A CoQ10 deficiency primarily affects the heart and cardiovascular system.

Over the past twenty years, international studies on statins and CoQ10 have focused on the necessity of this coenzyme in proper heart functions. Coenzyme Q10 has another function that makes it essential for the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. It is a powerful antioxidant that slows the oxidation of LDL cholesterol (known as "bad cholesterol"). When LDL is oxidized, it is more likely to affect the arteries and cause cardiovascular problems that can lead to a heart attack, stroke or other problems.

This shows that Coenzyme Q10 is essential for the proper functioning of the heart. Unfortunately, those taking statins will see their rate of CoQ10 decline over the months.

In 2002, an article published in the Journal of the AMA (American Medical Association) indicated that the daily

Page 70: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

intake of 20 milligrams of statins reduce the rate of CoQ10 by 22%. Knowing that most of these drugs are dosed at 20 or 40% (there is even an 80%), you can imagine the amount of loss of CoQ10 produced by this class of drug.

Other studies have shown that the higher the dose of statin, the greater the loss of CoQ10 increases. This effect would be less in a patient in good health or in a relatively young person whose body produces a good amount of CoQ10; however, for people over 40 who have already heart problems and need a significant amount of CoQ10, the action of statins may be harmful. The reduction of CoQ10 will not send you to the hospital immediately. Depending on your age and your heart health, months, maybe even years will pass before you feel the effects of reduced CoQ10. Sooner or later, all persons taking these drugs will be affected.

It is therefore not surprising that some scientists have called on the FDA to require pharmaceutical manufacturers of these drugs to register on their labels that these drugs cause a loss of CoQ10, reminding physicians of the usefulness of CoQ10 supplement.

I am not saying that statins are bad. They have helped many people and should be prescribed when necessary. In contrast, people taking this class of drugs should ask their doctor or their pharmacist if they think fit for them to take coenzyme Q10.

Page 71: Cure for the Cure

71

2 – Fibrates

This sub-class of drugs increases the loss of the powerful antioxidant, vitamin E. Vitamin E protects cells from free radicals and without it; there is an increase in the devastation caused by free radicals, which accelerate aging. An immediate consequence of a vitamin E deficiency is the increase in LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), which accelerates the process of atherosclerosis. Fibrates cause deficiencies in vitamin B12, which leads to, fatigue, an overall feeling of weakness and elevated homocysteine levels (which significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease). If a B12 deficiency is not corrected, neurological damage may occur.

Fibrates also disrupt the metabolism of copper, which can result in anemia, fatigue, problems in the tissue and high cholesterol. Zinc may also be disrupted, causing a decrease in immune function, loss of taste and smell as well as disorders of sexual function in men and women. Finally, as statins, fibrates may be responsible for a loss of coenzyme Q10.

3 - Bile acid chelating resins

Colestyramine is less used today. This molecule inhibits the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines and at the same time, it also inhibits the absorption of several nutrients. For patients who undergo treatment with

Page 72: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

cholestyramine, it is recommended they take a nutritional supplement several hours before taking the medication. This allows nutrients to be absorbed before the drug arrives in the intestines. Colestyramine disrupts many different minerals: calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and vitamins A, D, E, K, B12, beta carotene, folic acid and omega 3.

Page 73: Cure for the Cure

Oral Contraceptives

Oral contraceptives cause a loss of three B vitamins required for homocysteine metabolism. A common amino acid called methionine is converted in the body into a dangerous chemical called homocysteine, a toxic substance capable of altering the walls of arteries. When levels of vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin B6 are adequate, homocysteine is quickly converted into non-toxic amino acids. A deficiency of these vitamins causes an elevation of homocysteine, which damages the arteries and promotes the deposition of atheroma plaques.

Any increase of homocysteine, no matter how small, increases the risk of atherosclerosis, one cause of heart disease. Here again, this is called "the silent killer". A person will show no symptoms until the arteries are 90% clogged. This greatly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, hypertension and the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Vitamin B6 is necessary for the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin.

A deficiency of serotonin in the brain is strongly associated with problems of depression. In addition, serotonin is converted to melatonin (the hormone that controls sleep). Because a deficiency of vitamin B6 inhibits the synthesis of serotonin, it also reduces the amount of melatonin that can be produced in the brain.

Page 74: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

Oral contraceptives reduce the level of vitamin B12, which can cause anemia, fatigue and depression. Vitamin B1 is also affected by oral contraceptives. This deficiency may cause irritability, depression, memory loss, muscle weakness and edema.

Women who take oral contraceptives should seriously consider this loss in nutrients and taking nutritional supplements tailored to avoid serious health problems that may take years to develop. This class of drugs is also responsible for a loss of calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, folic acid and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E.

Hormone replacement therapy

In addition to their effects on calcium, selenium, folic acid, tyrosine and vitamins B1, B3, B6, B12, C and E, estrogen causes a depletion of magnesium, which may be responsible for arrhythmia, hypertension, heart palpitations and other cardiovascular problems.

This loss of magnesium can also cause muscle cramps, anxiety, nervousness, insomnia, premenstrual syndrome and an increased risk of osteoporosis.

For women taking estrogen-containing agents, the loss of magnesium requires closer attention. Indeed, it is common that two factors appear together and aggravate the problem. On one hand, estrogens cause a loss of magnesium and on the other; many women take calcium to prevent osteoporosis. But taking calcium without magnesium increases the problems associated with the loss of magnesium because calcium and magnesium work in pairs and the ratio between these minerals is very important. For example, calcium and magnesium control the mechanism of blood clotting: an excess of calcium increases the coagulation while magnesium thins the blood to prevent blood clotting. A deficiency of magnesium combined with an excess of calcium increases the likelihood of clot formation.

Calcium and magnesium also regulate muscle contraction: Calcium participates in muscle contraction while magnesium relaxes them.

Dr. Philippe Moser

Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Regular NSAIDS (generally COX-1 and COX-2 Inhibitors) work by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins (fatty-acids derivatives known for their inflammation and immune response effects).

One of the roles of prostaglandins is to keep the lining of the stomach intact. Therefore, blocking Cox-1 can cause ulcers and bleeding. COX-2 inhibitors were discovered later, as a way of treating inflammation without the side effects. The selective COX-2 inhibitors block only the COX-2. However, blocking only COX-2 does not eliminate the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Moreover, the fact of blocking COX-2 affects the clotting of blood and the flexibility of blood vessels, which increases the risk of heart disease. We now know that COX-2 inhibitors may increase cardiovascular risk. Since this discovery, many anti-inflammatory drugs have been implicated as probable instigators of heart disease.

The research clearly shows that aspirin and other NSAIDs (including selective inhibitor of COX-2, Celebrex) deplete the body of folic acid.

Another negative effect of NSAIDs is that they inhibit the action of enzymes needed in the creation of cartilage. This would mean that the drug used to relieve discomfort related to osteoarthritis actually accelerates the progression of this disease!

Gout

These treatments may cause an alteration of the intestinal mucosa, which hinders the absorption of nutrients and increases their excretion. Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus are the main minerals affected during these treatments.

Laxatives

1 – Mineral Oil

Mineral oil absorbs fat-soluble vitamins (ADEK) and beta-carotene, which prevents them from being absorbed by the body. Mineral oil accelerates the movement of the intestine, thereby reducing the time for digestion and absorption of nutrients. By partially covering the surface of the intestines, the paraffin forms a barrier that prevents the digestion and absorption of certain minerals like calcium and phosphorus and alters their metabolism by interfering with the absorption of vitamin D. In addition, mineral oil coats the food particles and further prevents their complete absorption through the intestinal wall.

2 – Bisacodyl

This substance causes a loss of potassium, which may lead to symptoms such as tetany, muscle weakness, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, increased thirst, edema, constipation, confusion, and nervous disorder.

Antidiabetic

Malabsorption of vitamin B12 is a well-known complication of biguanide therapy due to the depression of intrinsic factor secretion. Intrinsic factor (Factor of Castle) is a glycoprotein secreted by certain cells of the stomach, which is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the ileum (part of the small intestine). A lack of intrinsic factor leads to pernicious anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency, which can cause anemia and brain and nervous system (neurological) problems.

A U.S. study shows that diabetics on metformin have an average of 50% less vitamin B12 in their systems than those people not taking the active ingredient. The longer the treatment and the higher the dose, the greater the loss of Vitamin B12.

Metformin may also deplete the body of coenzyme Q10, an antioxidant and vascular protective.

In the section above on oral contraceptives, I have discussed the problems caused by deficiencies in vitamin B and their effects on the elevated homocysteine. It seems that high homocysteine, particularly in people with diabetes, leads to nerve damage, which causes a variety of pains, tingling sensations and even blindness. It was also found with venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

By regulating the low levels of vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid, we can reduce homocysteine levels and the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Antiulcer

The stomach produces hydrochloric acid (HCl) and enzymes that, helped by the powerful work of the stomach wall, break down the foods we eat. The mushy substance that results from this breakdown is called, chyme.

When food is left too long in the stomach, it returns a portion of the chyme into the esophagus causing a burning sensation. It appears that reduced acid production can paradoxically increase the risk of heartburn and reflux. Many people who are hypochlorhydria no longer manufacture enough acid to break down their food properly, which causes them heartburn. Because the symptoms are similar to those of an overproduction of acid, they are treated with drugs that reduce the acidity. Low stomach acid reduces the body's ability to extract nutrients from food and to reduce or buffer the acid with antacids accentuates this problem, leading to malnutrition. Low levels of acid in the stomach (either due to a low production of acid or due to acid-lowering drugs) reduce the stomach’s intrinsic factor (factor of Castle) which is needed to absorb vitamin B12. Studies have uncovered a link between the use of antacids and memory loss. A lack of vitamin B12 appears to be the reason.

Antacids containing aluminum can combine with phosphates in the intestine and prevent its absorption, resulting in a deficiency in phosphorus.

To compensate for the loss, the body releases calcium and phosphorus from the bones, which can cause bone problems like osteoporosis or osteomalacia (bone softening).

The action of these drugs neutralizes stomach acid, which can relieve pain associated with heartburn and other functional gastrointestinal disorders. However, stomach acid is essential for the absorption of many nutrients such as folic acid. A folic acid deficiency can cause anemia, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea and headaches. The folic acid deficiency is also associated with increased risk of breast and colorectal cancers. Therefore, prolonged use of drugs to buffer or reduce digestive acids might substantially affect the levels of important nutrients.

This book is not intended to be an anti-pharmaceutical read. I am not opposed to the medications that have proven helpful to millions of people or to the doctors who prescribe them. Over the counter medicines exist to alleviate and/or treat peoples’ sicknesses and discomfort. However, I think it is important to remember that all medications have side effects and that some of these negative side effects can be greatly reduced or even eliminated. Taking medicine is often necessary but not always sufficient by itself. In order to get the most out of your medicines and help your body help itself, we have to know what exactly is happening in the healing process. Tempering the down side of pharmaceutical drugs with naturally existing minerals, nutrients and vitamin

supplements completes the recipe for healing and long term health.

In the following pages, you will know which medicines are depriving your body of nutrients, which losses are caused by what medicines and how to prevent or treat these side effects by selecting the appropriate food or metabolic regulation complex that’s missing.

Nutrients and other substances in danger

Over thirty substances essential to good health, including vitamins, minerals and derivatives, have their actions disrupted by certain medications. The problems, some more severe than others, may develop rapidly or not for several years.

ALCOOL

Alcohol consumption is associated with many nutrient deficiencies. This loss of minerals and vitamins are due to decreased food intake but also to other disturbances. In fact, the alcohol interferes with the nutritional process by affecting digestion, storage, use and excretion of nutrients. Once ingested, food should be digested in order to maintain the structures and functions of the body and provide the energy necessary for life. Digestion begins in the mouth and continues in the stomach and intestines, with the help of the pancreas. The nutrients from digested food are absorbed by the intestine and transported to the liver through the blood. The liver prepares these nutrients for immediate use or for storage and future use. Alcohol inhibits fat absorption and therefore reduces the absorption of vitamins A, E, D, which are normally absorbed with fat.

Alcohol prevents the degradation of some nutrients into molecules used by the decreased secretion of digestive enzymes by the pancreas. Alcohol reduces the absorption of nutrients by damaging the lining of the stomach and intestines and disrupting the transport of some nutrients in the blood. In addition, nutritional deficiencies can lead to further absorption problems. For example, folic acid deficiency alters the cells lining the intestine

Page 223: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

223

Hail entailing a reduction, among others, the absorption of water, glucose and sodium.

Even if nutrients are digested and absorbed, alcohol can prevent them from being fully utilized by altering their transport, storage and excretion.

Alcohol also stimulates the urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium in particular.

Even a small amount of alcohol destroys vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid causing an elevation of homeocysteine. There are also drainage reserves of magnesium and selenium.

Disturbed Nutrients: Taking one of these drugs may reduce your reserves, or increase your needs or interfere with the metabolism of calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, potassium, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D, E, K and beta- carotène.

Potential health problems: (Please refer to Appendix 1). Organs and functions potentially at risk *: Heart, pancreas, stomach, colon, lungs, liver, gall bladder, thyroid, sexual glands (ovaries/testicles), kidneys, bladder, small intestine, immune and nervous system.

TOBACCO

Smoking affects the nutritional status of many ways. Cigarette smoke increases the damage caused by free radicals, which may explain the link with cancer. Studies have shown that smokers have a greater need for antioxidant nutrients that are necessary to fight against the high content of free radicals in cigarette smoke, especially that of vitamin C. Smoking can cause a deficiency of folic acid in lung cells, causing damage that can cause cancer.

Disturbed Nutrients: Taking one of these drugs may reduce your reserves, or increase your needs or interfere with the metabolism of calcium, zinc, selenium, beta carotène, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D, E, lycopene and omega 3.

CAFÉINE

In the U.S., daily consumption of coffee is about 500 million cups and 50 billion dollars are spent each year on soft drinks containing caffeine. There is also caffeine in chocolate, various teas, medicines and energy drinks like Red Bull. Excessive consumption causes a loss of vital nutrients.

Caffeine has a diuretic effect, which causes a loss of calcium and magnesium in particular due to a decreased reabsorption of minerals in the kidneys, thus speeding their elimination.

On the other hand, caffeine is acidifying forcing the body to draw calcium in the bones to neutralize the acidity and create a balance.

These losses of calcium are associated with increased risks of osteoporosis and bone fractures.

Disturbed Nutrients: Taking one of these drugs may reduce your reserves, or increase your needs or interfere with the metabolism of calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, iron, copper, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D, E, biotin, inositol and omega 3.

Organs and functions potentially at risk *: Heart, pancreas, stomach, colon, liver, gall bladder, thyroid, sexual glands (ovaries/testicles), kidneys, bladder, small intestin, immune and nervous system. *Not feeding optimally an organ of nutrients can cause malfunction thereof.

For more information on organ and nutrients refer to Appendix 3. How to restore your nutritional balance: To compensate for nutrient losses caused by these drugs, you should establish a treatment plan with your doctor or pharmacist. For an example you can refer to Appendix 2. You can also eat foods that contain the nutrients affected/diminished. (Please refer to Appendix 1)

Scientific studies and personal experience

Page 232: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

I have written this book by first synthesizing hundreds of scientific and very specific studies performed around the world, including the United States, and secondly, through a personal experience involving more 130,000 tests on nutrition conducted over a thirty year time period.

Scientific studies

It would be virtually impossible to fit every study that has ever been published on the depletion of nutrients because of medications in one book. For reasons of space and cost, all the studies could not be listed. There are, however, numerous examples that highlight many of the most common medications and the effects they have, good and bad, on the body. My goal is to teach doctors, pharmacists, health professionals, and anyone who takes medication about the multitude of studies that have been conducted and documented and the depletion of many nutrients after/during taking certain medications. That is not to say or imply that nutrient deficiencies caused by certain drugs are the leading cause of medical problems. Many concerns can contribute to the onset of medical problems. I personally think that the problem of nutrient depletion is more extensive than what is reported in this book. In many cases, the effect of a drug on certain minerals or vitamins has not been studied. Such studies are expensive, but I hope

Page 233: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

233

that the facts developed in this book will stimulate this research. You will find on page 245 (Bibliographies) a list of studies from around the world.

Advances in science and the development of analytical techniques have enabled a thorough comprehension of research and delimitation of the concentration of minerals and trace elements. These tests are usually performed on different biological samples (blood, urine or hair) to provide the most accurate information. Studies conducted on these samples confirm the depletions of various minerals.

The plasma emission spectrometry is a technique for detection and quantification used. This technique requires a very high precision instrumentation, inductively coupled plasma (ICP English) or mass spectrometer (mass spectrometry). These techniques guarantee very low detection thresholds. The practice of this minerals analysis, called "Atomic Métallogramme”, is a medical and scientific way of knowing if someone has deficiencies or excess minerals and can determine if that person needs to take nutritional supplements. These métallogrammes allow doctors to monitor the administration of minerals and trace elements or other medications. I initially tested mineral levels by analyzing hair, blood and saliva; but soon found the results from urine samples to be more immediately conclusive.

Page 234: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

The blood circulates in a closed compartment: the cardiovascular system. This flow carries life-giving oxygen; but also waste and the leaching of elements due to organ malfunctions or damage. Filtration of the renal parenchyma, a real treatment plant led to consider the kidney as an interface vis-à-vis the external environment and thus the urine as an element of choice for a faithful reflection of leaks or failures of metal cell. A mass exodus is significant evidence in an assault in progress: is the signal of an organization that suffers a malfunction. A deficiency report a cell depletion characteristic of a clinical or injury.

The analysis performed in my laboratory consisted of the study of fifty-five minerals such as calcium or magnesium to other less known as samarium or dysprosium. A full range which developed deficiencies and excesses. This analysis also allowed whether the twelve main organs of our body were adequately nourished in minerals. After having done all these tests, my colleagues and myself, we realized that 100% of the cases analyzed, we noted several deficiencies or mineral deficiencies. Patients complying with this analysis received a kit with a sheet of information they had to meet with their personal details and a list of any medications or supplements they are taking every day. This allowed us to establish a direct correlation between the perceived deficiencies and taking certain medications. Thus, we have established databases.

But first I want to give you more information on why these tests.

In my childhood, I was affected by serious respiratory problems. To relieve my frequent asthma attacks, my parents consulted many doctors. Each of them prescribed a different treatment. For years, I consulted general practitioners, allergists, pulmonologists, acupuncturists and even a hypnotist. I had ups and downs, and I consumed a large quantity of medications ranging from theophylline, beta-agonists, antihistamines, glucocorticoids and all kinds of antibiotics through desensitization treatments. What I did not know at this time was that these medications had depleted my body of twenty-five essential nutrients like magnesium, calcium, copper, iron, potassium and many others. Over the years, I subsequently noticed symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, periods of constipation and frequent headaches. I blamed these problems on too much stress and long work hours; or I thought it was an inevitable consequence from the most recent “miracle drug” I was taking. Instead of getting better, the onslaught of painful side effects got worse over time. I suffered from muscle and joint pain, hair loss, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, weight gain, and poor sleep. My desire to improve my own health catapulted me into the field of medicine. I tried to understand what was wrong. I had a relatively good diet and I was exercising, but still these

Page 236: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

health problems continued to multiply which increased my anxiety and worry. I analyzed everything I put into my body, including the asthma medications that, quite truthfully, didn’t seem to be helping. I decided to put myself through a battery of tests and analysis; but everything came back “normal”... well almost everything. My urinalysis revealed numerous mineral deficiencies. That's when I realized the immense importance of minerals in the proper functioning of the body. I discovered the essential role of each of them and their absolute necessity for the proper functioning of all organs, and thus life. Conclusion After reading this book, you should know, given the medicines you take, which nutrients are most affected. Regulating the proper balance will cause a big difference in your quality of life and your long-term health. This is especially true if you take medications more than twice a day. You will find suggestions to help reduce the risk of nutritional disturbances and to increase the beneficial actions of your medication. I also provide you with some tips to 'use' your doctor and pharmacist as a resource.

Beware of polypharmacy

The simultaneous intake of three or four or more drugs is very common among people over 60 years, or in patients with chronic diseases.

Many people take additional OTC drugs or other substances that may interfere with the medications prescribed by their doctor. The human body is an extraordinary machine that can withstand many abuses; but it should not be constantly tested. Taking a mixture of medicines/drugs, herbal remedies and other substances without consulting a doctor or a pharmacist can be dangerous. Here are some basic tips to help you get the best of your medication:

- Know your medications, what they are, why they have been prescribed, how they affect your body and what side effects they pose - including loss of nutrients.

- Every medication is described on the website of the pharmaceutical company that manufactures it. There you should find the list of side effects.

Page 238: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

Try to learn as much as possible about your medication so as to avoid any negative reaction with other substances. - If you drink alcohol, be sure that it does not alter in any way the performance of your medication. - Help your doctor help you by providing as many details as you can about your diet, routine, supplements, and/or additional medications you are taking (no matter how insignificant it may seem) at your next appointment; - Be sure to call your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any new medicines, herbal remedies or other additional medicine you may have left over from another prescription. Inform all doctors (specialists) regarding the treatment you follow. - If you have several doctors, ask them to get in contact with one another to avoid overloading you on medications. - Ask your doctor to test your level of minerals (blood, urine, saliva). It will highlight any deficiencies and will correct them before they worsen and cause complications; - Buy all your medications in the same pharmacy and try to ensure that the pharmacist or preparers know you and cross reference what you are taking. Your pharmacist is an invaluable resource to protecting your health. You can learn about your medications from someone who specializes in knowing what,how, and why they do what they do. Feel free to ask questions. The pharmacist is "the person of medicine," he has the

Page 239: Cure for the Cure

The Cure for your Cure

239

knowledge to help you understand your treatment and know the procedures for optimum results. Your pharmacist’s knowing the prescriptions you are taking may guide you and inform you when your doctor (if you do not inform him/her) can know that you have reviewed some of its colleagues who may have prescribed other treatments. The pharmacist listens to your concerns or simply your questions. It is said that for every dollars spent on drugs, another dollar is needed to repair a complication caused by the medication. Tens of thousands of people inadvertently abuse their medications unnecessarily, which causes not only a reduced quality of life, but also a considerable cost to healthcare, medicare and social security and therefore the taxpayer. This is evident in the increase in accidents, absenteeism, hospitalizations due to overdose or drug interactions, and by reviewing the statistics on patients who miscalculate their dosage. Huge savings could be realized each year simply by supplementing patients with folic acid, vitamin E or magnesium for example. A few simple supplements given to needy patients could significantly reduce the risk of heart disease. Imagine the millions of euros saved on the cost of health in general!

Page 240: Cure for the Cure

Dr. Philippe Moser

Nutrient Analysis The advice I would give all people who take any type of medication is to get a nutritional analysis performed. That is to say, do a urine or blood test for the detection of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Each individual is different, and a personalized analysis will give the exact list of deficiencies and weaknesses that each may have, and will therefore show how to avoid or offset any current or potential health problems. I sincerely hope that this book will serve as a resource for those taking medications, providing an easy to use guide that can help you or a loved one find solutions to some of your health problems. It is essential to compensate for what your medications rob from your body; otherwise the problems you face down the road could be catastrophic. Once you read this book, pass it to your family, your friends or people you know who are taking drugs. Thus, they can also be helped.

Bibliographies

Some health professionals are often skeptical of nutritional claims and want to see scientific evidence that validates these assertions. Many studies relating nutritional depletion caused by some medicines were developed by researchers and scientists for decades. However, most of these studies have not been disseminated to health professionals or consumers of drugs. Thus, hundreds of medical studies remain "buried" in a myriad of scientific journals. You will find below a list of some studies carried out worldwide.

 Bifidobacterium bifidum et Lactobacillus acidophilus   These lactic acid bacteria are normally present in the human gastrointestinal tract and form what is called the intestinal flora. They possess remarkable biological properties, participate in improving the microbial balance of the digestive tract and provide protection against infection. They also promote the reduction of acidity of the digestive tract. This family of probiotics regulate cholesterol and reduces the risk of heart disease. These bacteria can treat certain intestinal problems, including ill due to transits antibiotics. These lactic acid bacteria, particularly acidophilus, are opposed to the development of E. coli (Escherichia coli) and that of salmonella, streptococci and many other strains of harmful bacteria. Some studies have shown that consumption of milk firm would lower risk of colon cancer. Deficiency: A deficiency of probiotics can cause digestive problems, a weakened immune system and potential growth of pathogenic bacteria. Food Sources: artichoke, asparagus, garlic and onion stimulate growth and activity of probiotics. The yogurts contain live lactobacilli.

 Biotin (vitamin B8 or H) Biotin is involved in activating cellular enzymes involved in multiple biochemical reactions. It allows the assimilation and utilization of fats and sugars from the diet. It also participates in the beauty of the skin, nails and hair and is involved in testosterone action. Deficiency: Is characterized by the appearance of gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting), neurological (psychomotor retardation, depression), and dermatologic (alopecia, candidiasis, dry, pale skin, itching). Food sources: Biotin is found in dried yeast, royal jelly, liver, kidney, eggs, vegetables (carrot, cabbage, cucumber), fruits (tomato, strawberry, strawberry) and milk. The fungi provide a significant contribution vitamin B8.

Calcium 99% of calcium is found in bones and teeth. A small amount circulates in the blood and acts on blood pressure, blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of muscles, the synthesis of certain hormones and enzymes and the nervous system. If the blood is insufficient, the body will tap into the bone to rebalance the blood loss. This migration of calcium from bones will affect them, resulting in fragility, a calcium leading to osteoporosis. Calcium would also play a protective role by trapping bile acids in the colon, thus limiting the risk of bowel cancer. Deficiency: A deficiency in calcium can cause a decrease in serum calcium, resulting in neuromuscular disorders (spasmophilia cramps), bone problems (rickets, osteomalacia and osteoporosis), disorders of the skin, nails or teeth, joint pain (rheumatism, arthritis), eczema, high cholesterol, heart palpitations, hypertension, insomnia, nervousness, numbness of limbs, dental caries, tetany. Food sources: dairy products are a good source of calcium, but some studies have shown that calcium from vegetables is better. It is found in cabbage (broccoli), citrus (orange), spinach, dandelion, dried figs, walnuts, almonds and sesame seeds. The cultivated plants generally contain less calcium than wild plants.

Carnitine

The body synthesizes carnitine from lysine and methionine themselves in food. Carnitine plays a role in the transport of fatty acids, which allows the production of energy as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is therefore essential for the proper functioning of muscles, including the heart, constantly sought. In the body, carnitine is mainly synthesized by the liver and kidneys.

Carnitine may help in the treatment of angina pectoris and heart failure.

Deficiency: It is manifested by muscle weakness, increased fatigability and cardiac arrhythmia. The deficiency also includes an abnormally high blood lipids and blood glucose control difficult.

Food sources: the best sources are beef, dairy products and the avocado.

Chromium

A small amount of chromium is present in our body, hence its classification within the trace elements. Chromium promotes proper metabolism of glucose in people whose insulin function is problematic. It also plays a fundamental role in carbohydrate assimilation of fats and proteins. Deficiency: Even moderate deficiency is accompanied by a cardiovascular risk and diabetes increased often accompanied by fatigue. Symptoms may include numbness and tingling of the extremities, weight gain or loss, anxiety, nervousness and headaches.

Food Sources: Chromium is found in yeast, whole grains, potatoes, broccoli, lettuce, grape juice and orange, honey, egg yolk, mushrooms and sea food.

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) converts carbohydrates, proteins and fats, into energy for cells. It is an antioxidant that protects against damage of aging. It is used to produce energy and allows better recovery effort. Ubiquinone plays an important role at the heart and arteries (blood pressure). The body can synthesize CoQ10 according to his needs. However, with age, the production decreases. Patients with cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure or certain cancers have low levels of CoQ10. Deficiency: A CoQ10 deficiency can cause increased blood pressure, heart rate, reduced production of insulin, a loss of energy and a weakened immune system. A CoQ10 deficiency primarily affects the heart and cardiovascular system (heart muscle is the body best applicant). Food Sources: Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized by the body and from the food we eat. This is a complex process of seventeen steps that requires seven vitamins (vitamins B2, B3, B6, B12, C, folic acid and pantothenic acid) and several trace elements. Sources of coenzyme Q10 are beef, chicken, offal, trout, salmon, sardines, mackerel, oranges, broccoli, spinach, peanuts, eggs and soybean oil.

Copper Copper, vital for health, is a constituent of many proteins and enzymes in our body. Since it is very involved in iron metabolism, its deficiency can lead to serious metabolic disorders. It allows better use of lipids. It is essential for bone strength and quality of connective tissue and cartilage. It also plays a role in muscle functioning and nervous and immune systems. Copper contributes to fertility. Zinc is in competition with the copper to cross the intestinal barrier, excessive intake of zinc can cause copper deficiency can cause metabolic disturbances on Lipid: decreased HDL (good) and increased LDL . Deficiency: A deficiency of copper can cause anemia (copper is involved in iron metabolism and in particular the incorporation of iron in hemoglobin), is an often overlooked cause of iron deficiency anemia resistant to taking iron. Copper actively participating in the mineralization; its deficiency can also cause osteoporosis. There is also an increased risk of cardiac and vascular disorders. Symptoms of copper deficiency include weakness, stunted growth, brittle bones, immune failure, arthritis, high cholesterol, hypertriglyceridémie, discoloration of hair and skin, anemia, fatigue, cardiovascular problems. Food Sources: organ meats (liver), whole grains, shellfish (especially oysters), vegetables (peas, artichoke, avocado, radish, garlic and mushrooms) and pulses. They are also found in some fruits (plums, bananas) as well as in walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds, brown rice and chocolate. The red wine is a source of copper.

DHA

Docosahexaenoic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid omega 3 series. DHA is the omega 3 as represented in the human body. It is essential for the proper functioning of cells and biological balance. DHA is also a factor in preventing complications of cardiac and circulatory risks associated with cholesterol (arrhythmia, thrombosis, atherosclerosis). It plays a role in anti-inflammatory mechanisms and immune. Deficiency: Low levels of DHA accompany many diseases like AIDS or Alzheimer's. Food sources: oil (walnut, rapeseed, linseed, wheatgerm). It is also found in fish (salmon, tuna, sardines) and certain plants such as lettuce or purslane.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) Folic acid is involved in the metabolism of amino acids and is essential in the formation of red blood cells, DNA, RNA and muscle cells and bone. Vitamin B9 (also called folate) is necessary for the proper functioning of the central nervous system and the immune system. Folic acid exert a preventive action against certain cancers like those of cervical, lung and colon. He could also improve the effectiveness of treatment with antidepressants. Deficiency: This causes a slowdown in the growth of cells including blood cells, intestine, liver and skin. Signs of deficiency of this vitamin are anemia, digestive disorders and neurological disorders. This deficiency is characterized by fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, intestinal problems, nausea, headaches, sleeplessness, palpitations, or depression. In pregnant women, the deficiency causes alterations of the mucous membranes of the cervix and vagina and risk for the formation of the fetal nervous system.

Food Sources: nutritional yeast, liver cooked chicken or beef and egg yolks are the richest food sources of vitamin B9, but they are also found in many dark green vegetables (spinach, asparagus, fennel) fruit (especially raspberries), legumes, whole grains, orange juice and cheese.

Glutathione Glutathione is an antioxidant role (eliminates free radicals), detoxing (eliminating pollutants cells) and energizing (increases stamina, speeds recovery and stimulates the metabolism to eliminate fat). Glutathione also plays a role in immunity.Raising the level of glutathione helps fight oxidation of fatty acids into the bloodstream, including cholesterol, retarding the process of plaque formation in arteries, the underlying cause of most heart problems. Glutathione protects against inflammation encountered in cases of gastritis, stomach ulcers, pancreatitis and intestinal inflammation, including ulcers of the colon and Crohn's disease. Deficiency: A deficiency of glutathione can cause destruction of red blood cells leading to anemia. A lack of glutathione in cells is associated with many degenerative diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, cataracts, aging, AIDS, and cancer. Food sources: not found glutathione in our diet. It's our body that makes it from certain nutrients including amino acids, cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. Certain foods rich in vitamins C, E, B and zinc and selenium participate in the glutathione regeneration in the body. The whey proteins also have the characteristic of increasing glutathione levels of the organization by providing it the necessary precursor to its production.

Inositol (Vitamin B7)

It is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a role in fat metabolism. It controls cholesterol and improves liver function and muscle. Inositol helps to maintain the memory, has anti-stress and fight against insomnia. Deficiency: In case of failure occurring liver disorders, high cholesterol, hypertension and memory loss. Food Sources: There are inositol in soybeans, organ meats (liver, brain, beef heart), wheat germ, eggs, green vegetables, brewer's yeast. Other foods such as wholemeal bread, oats, nuts fresh and lecithin are other sources of inositol.

Iron Iron plays a vital role in the body as part of the hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from lungs to different cells and returns carbon dioxide to the lungs to be eliminated. Over 60% of the iron is in hemoglobin. Iron is involved in oxygen storage in muscle cells. He participates in the functioning of many enzymes and immune system.An iron deficiency may have more importance than just anemia: iron is involved in so many processes related to cell life that its failure will affect a cascade of reactions related to the reproductive system and human cells. Deficiency: Symptoms: fatigue, depression, decreased resistance to infections, reduced physical capacity during exercise, shortness of breath, irritability, palpitations, dry skin, brittle nails or soft, ringing in the ears, gastrointestinal disturbances, decreased concentration and decreased intellectual performance. Food sources: milk and products of animal origin. Red meat is one of the richest food sources of iron. Moreover, this iron is much better absorbed than iron from other foods. The black pudding, liver, and fish and seafood (clams, oysters and mussels) are excellent sources of iron. There are other sources, such as green vegetables (green beans, parsley, spinach, broccoli, watercress), pulses (lentils, beans), dried fruit (raisins, apricots), whole grains, cocoa, eggs and wine.

Magnesium This is one of the essential minerals. This would be done in more than three hundred enzymatic systems. Each cell of the body needs. It is used to produce energy, it allows the relaxation of the muscles and is essential for normal heart function. About half of the body magnesium is located within cells. We find the other half with calcium and phosphorus in bone. There is little in the blood (about 1%). If this percentage drops, the body will draw magnesium missing bones. Magnesium helps treat depression spasmophilia, it prevents cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Deficiency: even light, it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes and can cause spasmophilia or allergies and reduce resistance to infections. A magnesium deficiency leads to fatigue, asthenia, depression, insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, cramps, tremors, tetany, spasmophilia, irritability, palpitations, colitis, muscle aches and digestive disorders. Over time, we can observe a rise in blood pressure and osteoarthritis. Food sources: it is found in many foods but especially in dark chocolate. They are also found in whole grains, legumes (dried beans, lentils ...), dark green vegetables and dried fruits, nuts such as walnuts and almonds. Shellfish, avocado, banana, broccoli and brown rice also contain a good amount.

Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland (epiphysis) in response to the absence of light. It is the central regulatory hormone chronobiological rhythms. It has an antioxidant role (capture of free radicals), and participates in the detoxification of the body. It also seems to play an important role in the immune system. Researchers have noticed that people with certain health problems had lower melatonin levels than average. The heart patients have low levels of melatonin. Deficiency: The first symptoms of deficiency in melatonin insomnia and other sleep disorders. A deficiency of vitamin B6 may inhibit the synthesis of serotonin and therefore the conversion of serotonin into melatonin. All drugs that interfere with vitamin B6 may potentially inhibit the synthesis of melatonin and cause insomnia. According to some studies, low levels of melatonin could be an increased risk of breast cancer. A deficiency of melatonin may result in a rise from the ravages of free radicals that can lead to development of certain cancers.

Food sources: nuts and hazelnuts are a major source of melatonin, which is then easily absorbed by the body. There are also melatonin in tomatoes, bananas, rice, corn and potatoes.

Phosphorus

The phosphorus is about 500 grams of our weight. Much of this substance is combined with calcium to make bones strong. Phosphorus plays a role in the manufacture of DNA and in the muscles. It helps to synthesize and metabolize proteins. Phosphorus participates in the formation of tooth enamel. It is also an essential component of phospholipids that constitute the cell membrane.

Deficiency: A deficiency of phosphorus causes brittle bones and teeth, muscle weakness, tingling, decreased reflexes, physical and nervous fatigue, susceptibility to infections, loss of appetite and irritability.

Food sources: foods rich in protein as meat, fish (salmon), poultry and dairy products. They are also found in egg yolk, chocolate, some vegetables, legumes, dried fruits (especially prunes) and whole grains. Soft drinks, including cola based in often contain large doses.

Potassium Most of the potassium content in the body is found in cells where it contributes to the maintenance of intracellular osmotic pressure. It plays an important role in muscle contraction and the synthesis of proteins and carbohydrates. Potassium helps maintain blood pressure and a normal heart rhythm, which would reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Deficiency: A lack of potassium causes hypoglycemia, cramps in limbs, fatigue, weakness and muscle pain, dry skin, constipation, high cholesterol, insomnia, heart rate and blood pressure.

Food sources: fresh fruits (bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, plum, papaya) or dried (apricots, prunes, walnuts, almonds, figs, dates) and vegetables (potato, spinach, cabbage, avocado) and vegetables pulses (beans, lentils) are rich in potassium. It is also found in whole grains, meat and milk.

SAMe

The S-adenosyl-methionine is formed naturally in the body and is essential for the proper functioning of the central nervous system and liver, among others. It promotes the formation of cartilage and stimulates its repair, which explains his interest in the case of osteo-arthritis. It was noted that people with low blood levels of the molecule were more susceptible to depression, the degeneration of articular cartilage and chronic liver disorders. Deficiency: Vitamin B12 and folic acid is necessary for the synthesis of SAM, a deficiency of these vitamins can lead to a deficiency of SAM development and cause some problems such as depression, disruption of the function of the liver detoxifying and elevated homocysteine levels.

The S-adenosyl-methionine is produced naturally in the body thanks to a reaction between methionine and adenosine. There are methionine in meat, poultry, and dairy products. Methionine is also found in fruits (peaches, grapes) and leafy vegetables.

Selenium Selenium enters the formation of many enzymes and proteins. It helps reduce high blood pressure, helps neutralize free radicals and reduces the severity of damage produced by toxic metals such as mercury and lead. Selenium is involved in a proper functioning of the thyroid, it protects vitamins C and E from oxidation and participates in functions of detoxification of the body. He is also involved in immune and inflammatory processes. There would be an increase in cancers in areas where the soil is poor in selenium. Deficiency: The deficiency leads to heart failure, skin pigmentation (age spots), loss of appetite, impaired growth, fatigue, high cholesterol, hypertension, dizziness and weakness. Selenium deficiency may intensify the inflammatory reactions and may be associated with weakened immunity. Food sources: the best sources of selenium are high in protein foods like meat (liver or kidney), fish, seafood, Brazil nuts, grains (oats and brown rice), garlic and mushrooms are important sources of selenium.

Tyrosine

Tyrosine is an amino acid forming part of protein equivalent. Participates in the synthesis of adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine and DOPA. She is also a precursor of melanin (the pigment that colors the skin, hair and iris) and thyroid hormones (thyroxine and thyronine). It can be synthesized in the body from phenylalanine. Tyrosine provides anti-stress and anti-anxiety and helps to fight against fatigue. It protects the skin.

Deficiency: A deficiency of tyrosine can lead to depression, slow operation of the thyroid, decreased body temperature and blood pressure low.

Food Sources: We found the tyrosine in appreciable quantities in meat, products made from wheat and seafood almonds, avocados, bananas, dairy products, lima beans, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds are also excellent sources of tyrosine.

Zinc More than half of the zinc in our body is in muscle and bone in the third. Some tissues such as liver, kidney, prostate, hair and eyes have a high content of zinc. Essential to the body, it is present in over one hundred enzymes, especially those required for the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. It plays a crucial role in cell synthesis. Zinc helps the body store and use vitamin A. It plays a more important role in the immune system, hormone function, digestion and growth. It is involved in wound healing, and helps reduce the symptoms of colds and other infections. He would fight against prostate cancer and boost fertility. Deficiency: Zinc deficiency results in growth retardation, abnormalities of sexual maturation of taste disorders, atherosclerosis, acne, fatigue, slow healing, weakened immune systems, a alopecia, impaired memory and an enlarged prostate. It was noted during a zinc deficiency, decreased fertility in humans as well as complications of pregnancy in pregnant women. Food sources: meat (chicken), fish, eggs, seafood (the richest is the oyster), legumes, nuts, wheat germ and yeast. The cheese, beans and nuts are also good sources of zinc, but less easily assimilated.

Vitamin A (rétinol) This vitamin plays an important role in the cornea, so the view. It is necessary for growth and reproduction of bones and teeth and maintenance of skin and mucous membranes. It is involved in metabolism and regulation of hormones and lipids and has a protective role against cancer. It strengthens immunity and helps the body fight against infections. Deficiency: A deficiency in vitamin A is usually accompanied by a zinc deficiency. It results in various signs such as reduced night vision (night blindness). It also results in skin disorders (dryness, hyperkeratosis, acne). In a vitamin A deficiency, there are also problems of ossification (slowing of bone growth or change in shape). The nervous system and muscular system may also be affected. There is sometimes a decreased resistance to infection. Food Sources: Fruits and vegetables are the most colorful rich in vitamin A (sorrel, carrot, sweet potato, mango, spinach, turnips, dandelion and melon). Vitamin A is abundant in liver (beef, chicken), fatty fish, dairy products (butter, cheese) and egg yolk.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) Vitamin B12 is a function antianemic (red blood cell formation). It is involved in DNA synthesis, allows the absorption of iron and is involved in energy production. Vitamin B12 is an action on cell reproduction and growth and contributes to the smooth functioning of the nervous system. It is endowed with antiallergic properties and plays an analgesic and detoxifier role.

Deficiency: Vitamin B12 deficiency causes anemia mainly, sometimes associated with a decrease in white blood cells and platelets. Signs of deficiency are fatigue, lassitude, anorexia, sleep disturbances and memory, irritability, impaired motor function and sensation, constipation and flatulence. It can also cause neurological symptoms like tingling and numbness in limbs, memory loss and depression. Vitamin B12 deficiency is common among vegetarians. Food sources: foods of animal origin constitute the main source of vitamin B12 such as meat, offal (liver, kidney), oysters, fish (trout, salmon, haddock). They are also found in eggs, milk, and dairy products (cheese). Brewer's yeast and algae also contain small amounts.

Vitamine C (ascorbic acid)

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant (it neutralizes free radicals responsible for cellular aging). It hinders the aging of cells and promotes the absorption of iron and calcium in food. Vitamin C promotes the formation of collagen and speeds healing. Combined with vitamin E, it helps delay the onset of certain cancers. Vitamin C stimulates the immune system and plays a role in removing toxic substances (pesticides, heavy metals).

Deficiency: A major deficiency in vitamin C can cause scurvy. Food sources: fresh fruits (acerola, black currant, kiwi, strawberry, orange, lemon, grapefruit, raspberry, red currant, cherries, cantaloupe, blackberry) and vegetables (parsley, spinach, watercress, tomato, red and green peppers, radish, onion, broccoli, cabbage and potatoes).

Vitamin D (calciferol)

This vitamin is nicknamed the "sunshine vitamin" because the body manufactures it through ultraviolet radiation. It is involved in the process of absorption of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, thereby contributing to the consolidation of the bones and teeth. To be used by the body, vitamin D requires the action of ultraviolet rays from the sun. A minimum exposure to sunlight is necessary. Deficiency: Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets (poor bone calcification resulting in a deformation of the skeleton) and disorders of the dentition. Among adults, a lack of vitamin D increased the risk of osteoporosis and osteomalacia. A deficiency in vitamin D can also cause bone pain and fracture risk, diarrhea and restlessness.

Food sources: in products of animal origin such as fish liver oils (cod), fish (herring, salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna), egg yolk, liver, milk, butter, fungi, yeast, cereals and vegetable oils.

Page 296: Cure for the Cure

Vitamin E (tocopherol)

Powerful antioxidant, vitamin E prevents the harmful effects of free radicals on our cells and slows the aging of cells. It is involved in the synthesis of red blood cells and plays an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (reduce bad cholesterol). Combined with vitamin C, it acts as an important factor delaying the onset of certain cancers. Vitamin E has an anti-infectious, strengthens the immune system and improves sexual function.

Deficiency: A deficiency in vitamin E may be manifested by a fragility of red blood cells causing anemia called "hemolytic anemia, muscle weakness and loss of reflexes. One can also see a deterioration of the immune system and neurological disorders and capillary fragility.

Food sources: wheat germ is probably the most food rich in vitamin E. It is also found in vegetable oils (sunflower, olive, peanut) and nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds). It is also present in butter, liver, eggs and fatty fish.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K is produced in the body by intestinal bacteria. It is also provided by food. Its main role lies in the coagulation of blood by activation of specific proteins. Vitamin K is necessary for the synthesis of certain amino acids involved in the binding of calcium in bones. It should thus improve bone mineralization.

Deficiency: A deficiency in vitamin K results in a failure of blood clotting resulting in easy bruising, bleeding and heavy menstruation. There is also risk of bone fracture rates. Food Sources: broccoli, kale, green cabbage, red cabbage, spinach, turnips, artichokes, parsley, watercress and asparagus. There are also in the liver, eggs, fruits (tomato, grapefruit, orange) and some grains.

Always ask your doctor or pharmacist before changing your diet or taking nutritional supplements.

Appendix 2: How to restore your nutritional balance

We can’t treat a nutritional deficiency by the supplementation of the deficient elements. Each mineral can be assimilated and metabolized if the internal environment is balanced, even if it is available in appropriate dosage to the needs of the body. Note that this nutrient depletion caused various disturbances in particular organs. It will therefore involve three strategies: - Drainage - Support of weakened organs - Recharge of nutritives elements.

Page 299: Cure for the Cure

1. DRAINAGE

Drainage is a process of detoxifying the body by opening the emunctories and discharging the toxic accumulation. When an emunctory (kidneys, liver, lungs, skin etc..) is deficient or blocked, when a system or glandular tissue is insuffisant, we must stimulate these organs of elimination using remedies which organic tropism or physiology affinities are known. Some homeopathic remedies have a well-defined selective action on the body. This attraction, the "tropism of a remedy", is used by homeopaths to clean up the congested organs. These toxins are evacuated by the normal excretory urine, stool and sweat. The classification of drainage remedies refers to the affinities that certain remedies have for specific organs. The remedies are often prescribed: • General action : Berberis, Pulsatilla, Solidago. • Kidneys : Berberis vulgaris, Sarsaparilla, Juniperus communis, Pilosella. • Liver : Chelidonium, Taraxacum, Carduus Marianus, Nux vomica, Secale céréale. • Skin : Fumaria, Saponaria, Viola Tricolor, Calendula, Petroleum. • Lungs : Caprinus Betulus, Corylus avellana, Viburnum lantana. • Pancreas: Ceanothus Americanus, Spiritus Quercus. • Nervous System: Hypericum. • Veinous System: Hamamelis.

2. SUPPORT OF WEAKENED ORGANS

International studies have identified specific minerals (and their own sequences) necessary for the proper functioning of every organ in the body. Each organ is associated with a sequence of elements representing his identity card. A disruption of these sequences will sign the alteration of one or several organs.

In addition to the 12 identified organs, two other types of sequences are to be studied: Immune function which defines the reaction to the body vis a vis a bacterial or viral attack; and the Nervous function, defining the nervous state of a person.

The support of the organs is therefore a therapy that acts on various tissues to recover the disturbed functioning by stimulating the organ itself. It is often referred to as "Biochemical Therapeutics" or "Tissue Remedies" and can be considered close to a medicine of terrain. This part of the formula is based on the cell theory and focuses on restoring the power to regulate the body by restoring normal cell functions by giving them the minerals they need as well as balancing the levels of salt minerals in these cells.

The minerals used are:

Calcarea Fluorica, which is a component of connective tissue cells and fibrous tissue. Calcarea phosphorica enter in the composition of all cells and tissues to give them strength. This mineral element accounts for more than 50% in the formation of bone tissue. Calcarea Sulfurica purifies and stimulates the metabolism. Ferrum phosphoricum is present in blood and muscle cells. Kalium Muriaticum is a component of nearly all body cells and stands in close relationship with the connective tissue. Kalium phosphoricum located in brain cells, nerves, muscles and also enters the blood composition. Kalium sulfuricum entering the composition of red blood cells and assists in transporting oxygen in the deep tissues. Magnesia phosphorica which is the constituent of the nerve cell. It is found in blood, muscle, bones and teeth. Natrum muriaticum enter in the composition of blood, skin, mucous membranes and nervous system. Natrum phosphoricum is found in the muscles, blood, nerves, brain and in intracellular fluid. Natrum sulfuricum stimulates the organs responsible for elimination (liver, kidneys, lungs). It also balances the distribution of water in tissue, blood and body fluids. Silica activates the process of eliminating waste and gives firmness and resistance to tissues.

3. RECHARGE OF NUTRITIVES ELEMENTS

The third part of the treatment corresponds to the affected nutrients. Instead of administering regular doses of metalic ions, one should release the same ions that are missing in the metabolic processes. To do that, I recommend the use of a "Homeopathic Dechelation of metalic ions” diluted and energized.

We will therefore use lithotherapy, which is the use of whole rock, composed of all its metal salts, diluted and energized according to the homeopathic method. The dechelation lithotherapy, natural therapy, is a oligotherapy which have a catalytic power and a dechelation action, that is to say an ability to free catalysts (mineral and trace elements) which are already present in the body, but imprisoned by large molecules from various pollutants, and make them bio available to electro-chemical sites where they are essential to life processes.

To rebalance and realign the body we use the energy of the following stones: Apatite, Blende, Chalcopyrite, Diopside, Dolomite, erythritol, feldspar, glauconite, rhodonite and Tourmaline. The dilution 8X is particularly suited to this type of substances, ensuring total solubility to rocks and accurate and consistent action.

Appendix 3: organs and functions

potentially at risk

To the twelve selected organs are associated twelve sequences of elements that can be considered as the identity card of the body. Any disruption of these sequences will sign the degree of impairment of the body. In the following tables you will see what mineral is:

- Essential or necessary for proper functioning, or - Strengthens the action, or

- Plays an important role in the mechanism, or - Contributes to or is required or involved in the metabolism of that organ or function.

It is also interesting to include two other more general type of sequence. The first one defining the reactional power of the body against a viro-bacterio attack or an immuno suppression that can lead to lesional pathology: The immune degree.

The second function allows assessing the condition of the nervous system and defining the nervous balance of a patient.
