Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition explores thiamine and how its deficiency affects the functions of the brainstem and autonomic nervous system by way of metabolic changes at the level of the mitochondria. Thiamine deficiency derails mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and gives rise to the classic disease of beriberi that, in its early stages, can be considered the prototype for a set of disorders that we now recognize as dysautonomia. This book represents the life's work of the senior author, Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, and a recent collaboration with his co-author Dr. Chandler Marrs. - Presents clinical experience and animal research that have answered questions about thiamine chemistry - Demonstrates that the consumption of empty calories can result in clinical effects that lead to misdiagnosis - Addresses the biochemical changes induced by vitamin deficiency, particularly that of thiamine
With its expansive empire, boundless wealth, glorious architecture, and advanced military, Rome was the apex of civilization in the ancient world. However during its very height, many of Rome's leading citizens were inadvertently poisoning themselves with the lead glazing that was widely used in wine containers at the time. Is it possible that today, we are doing the same thing to ourselves with sugar? Could the obesity epidemic, diabetes and the outbreak of a host of other almost completely unrecognized diseases, be the result of our present dietary mayhem? That's the view expressed in A Nutritional Approach to a Revised Model for Medicine. In this illuminating book, author Derrick Lonsdale...
Lonsdale professes that symptom-treating medicine is not as effective as actually treating the causes of disease. He demonstrates the inability of orthodox medicine to provide viable diagnoses and solutions, and shows that nutrition, exercise, and vitamin/mineral therapy can be used as effective preventative measures.
New Research and Developments of Water-Soluble Vitamins, Volume 83, provides updated knowledge about nutrients in foods and how to avoid their deficiency, especially for those essential nutrients that should be present in the diet to reduce disease risk and optimize health. The book provides the latest advances on the identification and characterization of emerging bioactive compounds with putative health benefits. With up-to-date information on food science, including raw materials, production, processing, distribution and consumption, it is an ideal resource for nutritionists and researchers alike. - Contains guidance from carefully selected researchers that is based on his/her long experience and high expertise on the subject matter - Presents updated and in-depth critical discussions of available information, giving readers a unique opportunity to gain a broad view of the subject - Provides high quality illustrations, with a high percentage in color, to enhance the content
The discovery of vitamins in the early 1900s, their later chemical characterization and the clarification of pivotal metabolic functions are sequential aspects of a brilliant chapter in the history of modern nutritional sciences and medicine. The name, derived from “vital-amines”, indicates their elementary metabolic key functions in human metabolism. Vitamins are truly families of compounds, which include precursors and various free and bound forms, all with individual roles in metabolism and function. A more recent approach therefore searches for the components, the understanding of their roles in physiology and pathology as well as looking for novel pharmacological applications. When ...
Kenneth Adrian Ellis has a kinetic ability that is stimulated by light and sound. He describes his documented four-part gift in A Kinetic Person’s Power. Kinesis is when there is motion of an organism because of a stimulant such as light. To be kinetic is to have the ability to harness the power of kinesis within one’s self. Like telekinetics, psychokinetics and those with extra sensory perception or ESP, kinetics has a supernatural ability. In Ellis, this talent allows him to release tension from his body by voice command. He says, “I believe my ability is a gift from The Heavenly Father. Although the gift is quite extraordinary, and ‘out of this world,’ my discovery of it has made me happier, and each time I experience it I realize that I have been shown pious charity.” Explore the power of kinesis and find out if you too possess this rare ability.
Some people are aware that Vitamin K1 is important for blood clotting, but relatively few are aware of Vitamin K2 and its essential role in bone and heart health. There is now an impressive body of research showing that Vitamin K2 plays an integral role ensuring that our bones grow strong and our hearts and blood vessels remain healthy. Dr. Dennis Goodman has dedicated himself to researching vitamins and minerals so that he can educate his patients on which supplements to takewho needs them, how much, and why. If you care about your bones and heart healthand no doubt you dothis book is a must read. With Vitamin K2: The Missing Nutrient for Heart and Bone Health, Dr. Goodman presents the latest and most impressive research studies, as well as insights on diet, exercise, and stress reduction, as a conversation between doctor and patient. Providing clear and concise information, he puts readers on the path to learn more for themselves and continue the conversation with their own doctor.
The book Modeling in Membranes and Membrane-Based Processes is based on the idea of developing a reference which will cover most relevant and “state-of-the-art” approaches in membrane modeling. This book explores almost every major aspect of modeling and the techniques applied in membrane separation studies and applications. This includes first principle-based models, thermodynamics models, computational fluid dynamics simulations, molecular dynamics simulations, and artificial intelligence-based modeling for membrane separation processes. These models have been discussed in light of various applications ranging from desalination to gas separation. In addition, this breakthrough new volu...
