Read this book several years ago and found notes on computer.
Foods that Heal by Maureen Salaman
Acne – caused by many factors 1. poor diet deficient in zinc and or vit A 2. too little hydrochloric acid in stomach 3. food sensitivities and allergies – milk
50 mg zinc 3 times a day – no effect – increase to 100 mg - improvement 87%
Foods – herring, wheat germ, sesame seeds, liver, soybeans, sunflower seeds, egg yolk, lamb
Seafoods rich in nutrients but full of pollutants – oysters, crab, clams….
4 oz portion has this much zinc:

etc……
Alcohol - If given a diet extremely high in raw food abstained from alcohol.
Placed on junk food diet with coffee – increased alcohol intake. Sugar increases alcohol use. L-glutamine decreases the craving for alcohol- also diminished anxiety, and improved sleep.
Allergies (Food and Additives)

“leaky gut syndrome”-inflammation and undernutrition
watercress – acidophilus, vitamins A, B6, C, E, zinc

Anemia
Iron deficiency Anemia
Elderly – secrete too little stomach acid – need extra hydrocholoric acid and digestive enzymes to process iron - 500 to 1000 mg of betaine Hydrocholoride and Vitamin C – 200 to 500 mg …

Hidden form of anemia: hypothyroids – subnormal temp…..low thyroid- take kelp…others need prescription thyroid supplementation….
Pernicious Anemia – deficiency of vitamin B12 – vegetarians – others – vit B12 requires a stomach secretion called “the intrinsic factor” to bind with and help with absorption – intestinal walls.
Sublingual – under tongue OR shots
Megaloblastic Anemia (Folic Acid deficiency) also shortage of copper, protein and vit B12 and C.
Things that destroy Folic acid – cooking higher than boiling temperatures, oral contraceptives, antibiotics, alcohol, anticonvulsants (phenobarbitol, primidone and phenytoin), dialysis patients….
