So, I have heard that barbequed meat can cause cancer, is this true? Has anyone else heard about this? I'm a vegetarian would this also apply for barbequed veggies?
Hi,I just read a book on orthomolcular health, and it's influenced me to try a Niacin regimen (1,000mg 3x/day, so total 3,000mg/day). I also have an old nutrition book, though, that says that if you take one of the B vitamins in large doses that you can create an artificial deficiency in the others, so you should also take a B complex to safeguard against this.I'm writing to ask if anyone has any good information (links, etc) on the specifics of this. At this dosage of Niacin, how much B complex daily would be a safe bet to avoid the imbalance?
I've started taking Niacin again as my allergy season is about to start this year. I've used it for the past few years to reduce my allergic reaction (a niacin flush lowers one's histamine levels). I benefit from the niacin by reducing my allergies, and also feeling good after. Anyone else get that happy' feeling? I believe in the 60's niacin was used purposely to get that 'high'.
I've googled the subject, but nothing really stood out:
I've been vegan for about 8 or 9 years and I've noticed that the hair on the crown of my head is very thin. When I was a omnivourous teen I remember that my hair was on the thin side, but not quite like today. When I hold my bangs up it's a bit too easy to see my scalp. Needless to say, for a female, this is quite perplexing.
Whenever the curiosity of the present day investigator probes into the past and brings to light even fragmentary information on the ingenious methods of our ancestors, it makes a fascinating study.1 In India, reference to the curative properties of some herbs in the Rigveda ( though very brief) seem to be the earliest records of use of plants in medicine. Far more detailed account is available in the Atharva veda. The period of Rigveda is assumed to be between 3500-1800 B.C.
With the Medline database so readily available, researchers today often think they have few reasons to read the medical literature published before 1966. Yet in reading old medical and nutrition texts, I am frequently amazed by the astute observations of those who came before us.
Check with veterinary science experts. They will confirm that lower animals, like the rat, nibble. They seem to eat all of the time. Actually, we are told that they munch about every two hours ten or twelve times per day. These same authorities will attest that it is possible to humanize, as it were, the rat. Give it three-squares-a-day, it will promptly behave like a human. There will appear some of the most important risk factors for the common killing and crippling diseases. Under such conditions, there is obvious (almost human) adiposity.
A. Berry points out that employers pay over half of the nation’s health care bills and the insurance, absenteeism, replacement and training of employees lost through illness all add to this burden.1 Accidents, heart disease and cancer account for nearly 75% of total deaths in the U.S.A.
