Both
nutritional therapy and chiropractic share the philosophy
that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself with
the proper resources and treatment procedures.
Bone
- formed from collagen fibers and comprised of hydroxyapatite
crystals - is a living substance and one of the most active
tissues in the body! Bone is constantly being dissolved and
rebuilt (a process known as remodeling) and requires the proper
nutrients to remain strong and healthy.
Osteoarthritis
affects 80% of persons over the age of 50 and Osteoporosis
affects 25 million people of all ages, clearly indicating
that most individuals are not meeting the nutritional requirements
necessary to maintain strong bones and supporting connective
tissues.45
It
is therefore not surprising that most Americans complain of
arthritis, back problems, and experience frequent injuries.
The
nutrients in Factor Five: Osteo-X act to protect against altered
or defective collagen synthesis by enhancing collagen matrix
integrity and decreasing the enzymatic breakdown of collagen
necessary for the formation of connective tissue in ligaments
and bones.
The
ingredients in this product work synergistically to support
the body's natural ability to heal itself and may be safely
employed
As
Nutritive Support for Injury and Back Pain
It
is well established that the ingestion of specific nutrients
can help accelerate the healing process and provide above
normal healing rates.46 Patients recovering from
bone fractures require 25% more calories than normal. In cases
of major trauma, tissue damage and/or inflammation, the calorie
need goes up by 30 to 55%.47 Yet, in a modern Houston
hospital, physicians found that all of the 129 surgery patients
examined had at least one indication of significant nutritional
depletion, with 42% being clinically malnourished!48
It
is important to supply the body with enough energy (calories)
to meet the increased metabolic demands caused by injuries
during the three phases of
injury rehabilitation:
Phase I - Inflammation which
lasts from 48 to 72 hours but can vary. Inflammation occurs
when a part of the body reacts to trauma, caused by strain,
injury, or arthritis, or infection caused by bacteria. Symptoms
include pain, heat, swelling, and redness..
The
primary nutritional remedy to ameliorate inflammation is a
combination of proteolytic enzymes (proteases) such as bromelain,
papain, lipase and amylase49 which is incorporated
into Factor Five: Osteo-X under the proprietary trade name
Biozyme-10.
Depending
on the type of injury, oral use of proteolytic enzymes can
reduce healing times by up to 50%50 while the herbal
extracts of ginger and licorice root act as a natural cortisone
in blocking inflammation and reducing pain.
Phase II - Repair usually
lasts from 48 hours to about six weeks during which time collagen
production and formation occurs. Maintaining adequate levels
of vitamins and minerals is crucial during this repair phase
as any deficiency can adversely effect healing.51
Calcium, magnesium, manganese and boron are especially important.52
As
inflammation can generate large amounts of free radicals,
a full spectrum of antioxidant nutritional support, such as
found in Factor One: Bio-Immunizer, may also be utilized.53
Phase III - Remodeling
lasts a minimal of three weeks and may require up to twelve
months to accomplish in certain injuries. During this phase
the strengthening of connective tissue and muscle occurs through
hyperplasia and hypertrophy. Connective tissues include cartilage,
tendons, ligaments and bone.
The
remodeling phase is dominated by anabolic repair which is
enhanced by supplying the nutrients necessary for growth.
These include Factor Five: Osteo-X at the suggested nutritive
support dosage and Factor One: Bio-Immunizer at the daily
recommended dosage.
As
a Preventative & Treatment for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis
- or porous bones - is a disease characterized by excessive
loss of bone mass resulting in increased fractures, loss of
height, pain in the hip and back, and spinal curvature. The
disease is silent and offers no early symptoms as bones become
porous over a period of many years. Around age 40, bone mass
begins to gradually diminish in both sexes, with a continuous
loss over adult life at a mean rate of 1.2% per year. However,
osteoporosis is not a normal part of aging. It is a normal
part of degeneration caused by inadequate nutrition!54
Available
evidence indicates that those with a lifetime history of adequate
calcium intake are less susceptible to osteoporosis at advanced
ages.
Osteoporosis,
however, is more than merely a lack of dietary calcium. Rather,
it is a complex condition involving hormonal, lifestyle, nutritional
and environmental factors.55
Several
risk factors are associated with osteoporosis, including the
following:
1)
Genetics such as family history of osteoporosis.
2)
Sex - women are three times more likely than men to develop
osteoporosis because they have less bone mass to begin with.
3)
Body type - small body frame or slender build are more prone
toward the disease.
4)
Inadequate amounts of calcium and Vitamin D in the diet.
5)
Hormonal factors - Osteoporosis is most commonly seen after
menopause (surgical or natural), when the protective effect
of estrogen in bone has been lost. In younger women, any interruption
of menstruation for an extended period results in bone loss,
such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and menstrual irregularities
due to excessive exercise.
6)
Sedentary lifestyle - regular weight-bearing exercise is important
for achieving and maintaining good bone mass.
7)
Smoking affects the protective action of estrogen in bone.
Alcohol can block calcium absorption and bone growth.
8)
Drugs such as cortisone, Dilantin, methotrexate, heparin and
excess thyroid medication can all affect bone mass.
9)
Medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease, overactive
thyroid, malabsorption, and certain types of intestinal surgery
can place the patient at higher risk.
If
the patient exhibits any of the above risk factors, or has
undergone trauma, surgery, or bone fractures, he or she should
be strongly encouraged to practice the following preventative
and remedial recommendations:
Recommendations
for the Rejuvenation of Bone and Connective Tissue, Prevention
of Osteoporosis and the Arthritic Relief of Joint Inflammation
1)
Take Factor Five: Osteo-X supplementation as directed. One
gram (1,000 mg) of calcium daily can halt or even reverse
bone loss in humans.56
2)
Exercise! Sedentary lifestyle strongly encourages bone mineral
loss. After only a few months in space, astronauts can lose
up to 25,000 mg of bone calcium.57
3)
Relax! Practice stress management. Worry and tension can cause
both lowered calcium absorption and increased calcium loss
while triggering arthritic inflammation.58
4)
Take a 15 minute sunbath twice a week! Vitamin D is mandatory
for the absorption and use of calcium and preventing bone
erosion.59
5)
Maintain weight control. Excess poundage stresses the joints
and exacerbates inflammation. Symptoms of osteoarthritis often
subside with a return to a healthy weight.60
6)
Develop a good diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, oatmeal,
brown rice and whole grains. Eat fish such as salmon, sardines,
flounder and cod in lieu of red meat.61
7)
Hard water can provide up to 375 mg of calcium per liter of
drinking water!62 By comparison, milk provides
about 288 mg of calcium per cup. Further, pasteurization destroys
the useful enzymes in milk, leaving it dead, inert, and useless,
and thus may be irritating to the lining of the intestines.63
8)
Reduce or Avoid tobacco, alcohol and coffee as these substances
deplete bone minerals and exacerbates inflamed joints.64
9)
Avoid the use of cortisone, anti-seizure medication or anticoagulants
whenever possible.65
10)
Avoid phosphate-containing soft drinks, additives, and high-protein
animal foods.66 When the calcium to phosphorus
ratio goes above 1:1.25 in phosphorus, then most other efforts
to prevent osteoporosis are likely in vain.
11)
Eat a wide variety of foods. Individuals who eat a varied
diet have a better nutrient intake than those whose diet remains
staid.67
12)
Reduce salt intake. Urinary calcium increases about 23mg for
every teaspoon of salt consumed which is sufficient to dissolve
one percent of the skeleton annually or ten percent in a decade!68
As
a Support & Preventative for Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis
or degenerative joint disease is the most common form of arthritis
affecting over 40 million Americans, including 80% of people
over 50 years of age.69
The
weight-bearing joints and joints of the hands are principally
affected, however, spinal osteoarthritis is very common and
may result in compression of nerves and blood vessels, causing
pain and vascular insufficiency.70 The bone joint
is a marvel of engineering. The joint is connected by the
tough, fibrous proteins collagen and elastin and lubricated
by synovial fluid that is so slippery even modern chemistry
cannot duplicate its lubricant abilities. Since bone joints
are built from, and repaired by, dietary nutrients, nutrition
can be utilized to help many arthritics.
Studies
and evaluations of osteoarthritis - from the earliest signs
to the most advanced stages - indicate that cellular and tissue
response to this disease is purposeful and aimed at repair
of the damaged joint structure. Based upon such analysis,
it appears the process contributing to osteoarthritis may
be stopped and sometimes reversed.71
1)
Take Factor Five: Osteo-X in the dosage recommended for relief
of back pain and joint inflammation. The herbal extracts of
ginger and licorice root together with extract of wintergreen
and the amino acid DL-phenylalanine will synergistically act
to reduce inflammation and pain.
2)
Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such
as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, Nuprin), fenoprofen
(Nalfon), and related products.
Numerous
clinical studies have shown that NSAIDS actually accelerate
osteoarthritis and increase joint destruction.72, 73
This is a classic example where current medical treatment
simply suppresses the symptoms while actually promoting the
disease process!
3)
Take Factor One: Bio-Immunizer in the dosage recommended as
vitamin E has an ability to inhibit the enzymatic breakdown
of cartilage as well as stimulate cartilage synthesis;74
folic acid, niacin, and vitamin C has a positive effect on
cartilage;75 and vitamin A is required for the
synthesis of normal collagen and maintenance of cartilage
structures.76
4)
Avoid all simple, processed and concentrated carbohydrates
and fats.
5)
Avoid plants of the solanaceae family, such as tomatoes, potatoes,
eggplant, peppers and tobacco).
6)
Take physical therapy regularly including ultrasound, isometric
exercises and especially short-wave diathermy.77
As
a Support for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects
the entire body but especially the synovial membranes of the
joints. It is a classic example of an "autoimmune disease",
a condition where the body's immune system attacks its own
tissue.
Although
much less common than osteoarthritis - somewhere between 1
and 3 percent of the population is affected - the rheumatoid
form is usually much more severe.
Because
many of the pathologic processes involved in this disease
are temporary and spontaneous, improvement often occurs. As
a result, it is common for RA to be exploited by hucksters
who are eager to offer "the latest cure".78
Unfortunately,
rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that has no known cure,
no prevention, and no specific cause at this point in time.
However, RA can be managed and ameliorated in many cases.79
An
assessment of the nutritional status of patients with rheumatoid
arthritis is very important. The inflammatory process in RA
is accompanied by an elevated metabolic rate that leads to
increased nutritional requirements.80
Patients
with rheumatoid arthritis are frequently underweight, in contrast
to those with osteoarthritis who are often overweight.81
While
RA is an autoimmune reaction, what triggers this reaction
remains largely unknown. What is currently known is that individuals
with RA have increased intestinal permeability to dietary
and bacterial antigens as well as alterations in bacterial
flora.82, 83 Thus, diet has been strongly implicated
in RA in regards to both cause and amelioration.
Generally,
RA is not found in societies that eat a more primitive diet
of whole foods, vegetables, and fiber and is found at a relatively
high rate in modern societies consuming a diet rich in refined
carbohydrates, sugar, meat, and saturated fats.84
1)
Joint pain can be a manifestation of a food allergy. Elimination
of allergic foods has been shown to offer significant benefit
to some individuals with RA.85 However, such elimination
should be well documented with blinded food challenges so
that foods are not eliminated unnecessarily simply because
their consumption happened to coincide with an arthritic flare-up.
2)
Sodium restriction is recommended as some RA patients retain
salt and water because of immobility resulting from joint
pain or medication.86
3)
Take Factor Five: Osteo-X in the suggested trauma dosage during
RA flare-up of joint pain. Product ingredients include the
well documented anti-inflammatory herbal extracts of ginger
and licorice root, together with the proteolytic enzyme bromelain.
These ingredients have been found to be useful in both rheumatoid
and osteoarthritis.87, 88, 89
4)
Adhere to the recommendations outlined on pages V-12 &
V-13 in this report.
As
a Remedy for Insomnia & Sleep Disorders
Insomnia
is a difficulty in falling asleep, in staying asleep, or in
sleeping soundly. The well-nourished individual who enjoys
good health will be less troubled by insomnia than one who
subsists on a diet deficient in some essential nutrients.
For example:
Calcium
and magnesium are known as the "sleep minerals"
as a lack of these two nutrients will cause the patient to
wake after a few hours and then not be able to return to sleep.90
Vitamin
B-6 is an important contributor to the formation of serotonin,
a neurotransmitter that aids in the regulation of sleep. A
diet low in B-6 is associated with increased risk for developing
insomnia, irritability, and depression.91
Insomnia
perpetuates itself, in that thinking about the inability to
sleep creates further tension in the mind and body. Recommendations
for overcoming insomnia and other common sleep disorders include:
1)
Take Factor Five: Osteo-X as directed for insomnia. This product
provides the nutrients listed above which are necessary to
overcome sleep problems.
2)
Learn to relax by establishing a new bedtime routine, such
as leisurely walks, warm baths, massages, soft music, or quiet
meditation.92
3)
Prior to bedtime, snack on bananas, figs, dates, yogurt, tuna,
grain crackers, or grapefruit. These foods are high in tryptophan
which promote sleep.
4)
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, cheese, chocolate, wine,
bacon, ham, sausage, eggplant, potatoes, spinach, and tomatoes
immediately prior to bedtime. These foods contain tyramine,
which increases the release of norepinephrine, a brain chemical
stimulant.93
5)
If insomnia persists, consider placing the patient on Factor
Six: Sommaserene in the dosage recommended. This product is
a non-narcotic herbal sedative, muscle relaxant and stress
reducer.
As
a Remedy for Relief of Heartburn, Nausea & Motion Sickness
Heartburn
is a burning sensation in the stomach. It often occurs when
hydrochloric acid (HLC), utilized by the stomach for digestion,
backs up into the esophagus.
Heartburn
may be caused by either an excess of HCL or a shortage of
HCL in the stomach. Many new OTC antacids are HLC reducers
which often provide relief of symptoms by masking the underlying
cause!94
Recommend
that the patient take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
or lemon juice. If the heartburn recedes, then the patient
needs more stomach acid. If symptoms become worse, the patient
has an excess of HCL.
1)
At the first sign of heartburn, drink a large glass of water
which often cures the problem.
2)
If patient has excess stomach acid, take Factor Five: Osteo-X
in the dosage recommended. If patient has a shortage of HCL,
relief can be obtained by sipping one tablespoon of apple
cider vinegar mixed with water while eating.
3)
Avoid excessive consumption of spicy or fatty and fried foods,
alcohol, coffee, citrus fruits, chocolate, and tomato-based
foods which are prone to cause heartburn.
4)
Avoid OTC antacid products which contain sodium and aluminum.
Excess sodium can aggravate hypertension and excess aluminum
has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease.
Motion
Sickness symptoms range from severe headache, dizziness, cold
sweats, and loss of desire for food to nausea and vomiting
while flying, sailing, or traveling long distances in automobiles
or trains.
Nausea
and vomiting may result from a deficiency of magnesium or
vitamin B-6, however, these symptoms may also indicate the
presence of liver problems, an infected appendix, low blood
sugar, or food poisoning. A physician should be consulted
if such symptoms persist.95
The
combination of ginger and licorice root extracts have long
been determined to diminish the symptoms of nausea from motion
sickness, morning sickness, and the amelioration of vertigo
and dizziness.96 In fact, studies have demonstrated
that ginger root by itself is more effective than Dramamine
in preventing motion sickness.97
At
the first signs of nausea, motion, or morning sickness, the
patient should take the recommended dosage of Factor Five.

PYRIDOXINE
(VITAMIN B-6) is necessary in the production of hydrochloric
acid. Inadequate stomach acid, a common problem in older adults,
lowers efficiency in absorbing calcium.1 Vitamin
B-6 might also aid in the healing of bones after a fracture.2
A deficiency of vitamin B-6 can cause the departure of needed
calcium from the body.3
Pyridoxine
inhibits the formation of a toxic chemical called homocysteine
which has been implicated in a wide variety of conditions
including arteriosclerosis and osteoporosis.4 In-creased
homocysteine concentrations in the blood have been demonstrated
in postmenopausal women and are thought to play a role in
osteoporosis by interfering with collagen cross-linking.5
VITAMIN
D (CALCIFEROL) is essential to the absorption of dietary
calcium from the intestine and deposition of calcium into
bone. A long-term loss of this vitamin is associated with
calcium loss and bone deterioration.6 A study of
elderly patients in a 120-bed nursing home found that many
suffered from osteomalacia, a painful bone-softening disease
caused by a vitamin D deficiency.7 A clear correlation
was found indicating the longer the confinement and subsequent
lack of vitamin D, the more often this painful bone wasting
occurred in patients.
NOTE:
Individuals who spend a consistent amount of time in the sun
during the entire year are not particularly prone to develop
melanomas, according to the 1985 report "Sunlight and
skin cancer" in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Individuals prone to skin cancer are those who normally live
in temperate climates, spend most of their time indoors, and
then expose themselves to intense sunlight by spending occasional
weekends on the beach or winter vacations in the tropics.
Consistency and moderation are the keys to maintaining healthy
bones without risking cancer.
CALCIUM
(AS CALCIUM CITRATE) is necessary to prevent osteoporosis,
hypertension, tetany (muscle spasms such as cramps) and insomnia.8
This mineral is vital for the normal blood clotting mechanisms
that begin the process of wound healing.9 Calcium
also helps maintain all cell membranes and aids in the maintenance
of connective tissue.10 Restoration and maintenance
of bone tissue is observed in people who consume, over several
years, a high-calcium diet plus at least 750 mg of calcium/day
from supplements and 375 IU/day of vitamin D.11
At
present, calcium citrate appears to be the best form of calcium
to supplement with, in regards to both absorption and decreased
risk of developing kidney stones.12, 13
In addition, citrate has the ability to chelate out heavy
metals, prevent recurrent kidney stones, augment treatment
of urinary tract infection and promote diuresis.14,
15
MAGNESIUM
(OXIDE) supplementation appears to be as important as calcium
supplementation. Individuals with osteoporosis have lower
magnesium content than people without osteoporosis.16
Magnesium is important in the development and maintenance
of strong bones. When magnesium is deficient, calcium is lost.17
Magnesium also plays a role in the formation of bone and in
carbohydrate and mineral metabolism.18
A
study reported by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
(vol 56, 1992) found that when two groups of untrained subjects
underwent a seven-week strength training program, the group
that received a magnesium supplement increased their strength
28.6% while the placebo group increased only 10.5% - a significant
difference.
Magnesium
supplementation prevents sore muscles, cramps, and elevated
blood pressure, allowing patients to walk with out pain.19
VITAMIN
C (CALCIUM ASCORBATE) functions as an important antioxidant
which increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, decreases
histamine levels, which dry the joints, and provides anti-inflammatory
action.20, 21 Studies have confirmed
that vitamin C has a positive effect on cartilage22,
23 and, in fact, an excess of ascorbic acid is
necessary in human chondrocyte protein synthesis to mitigate
cartilage erosion.24 Deficient vitamin C intake is common
in the elderly, resulting in altered collagen synthesis and
compromised connective tissue repair.25
MANGANESE
(GLUCONATE) participates in the formation of connective tissues,
bone growth and in the digestion of proteins. A long term
deficiency of manganese is associated with calcium loss from
bone because of this trace mineral's role in bone metabolism.26
Before other exotic connective tissue supplements such as
chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, there was manganese which
is necessary to activate enzymes needed for collagen and proteoglycan
synthesis.27
COPPER
(LYSINATE) is required for the synthesis of normal collagen
and maintenance of cartilage structures.28 Copper
is a co-worker with zinc. When researchers gave injections
of zinc-copper superoxide dismutase directly into human arthritic
joints, the symptoms improved.29
Arthritis
victims often have higher than normal copper levels in their
arthritic joints. Years ago, this was interpreted that copper
caused arthritis. Now, however, scientists find the opposite
to be true. In a double-blind study, osteoarthritis patients
whose copper bracelets were replaced with placebo bracelets
experienced a significant deterioration in their condition.30
BORON
(GLYCINATE) aids in the absorption of calcium. A recent study
conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicated
that within eight days of supplementing the diet with 3 mg
of boron, a test group of postmenopausal women lost 40 percent
less calcium and one-third less magnesium through their urine.31
ZINC
GLUCONATE can inhibit the inflammation process that occurs
in arthritis by suppressing the release of histamine from
mast cells.32 Arthritis victims usually have lower
than normal zinc levels in their blood.33 In a
double-blind study using arthritis patients, zinc supplementation
provided noticeable improvement in morning stiffness, joint
swelling, walking time, and the patients' own impression of
their condition.34
DL-PHENYLALANINE
is a mixture of the amino acids D and L-phenylalanine. The
D form may prevent breakdown of the brain's natural narcotics
and has been shown to relieve the chronic pain of osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, low back pain and migraine headaches.35
The L-form is the precursor of norepinephrine and dopamine.
DL-phenylalanine is effective in the control of pain, especially
in those with arthritis.36
GINGER
ROOT (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE) FROM EXTRACT produces anti-inflammatory
activity similar to non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs.
It interferes with the manufacture of prostaglandin and thus
blocks inflam-mation.37 Ginger ameliorates symptoms
of nausea, motion and morning sickness, vertigo, dizziness
and stomach disorders.38 Ginger root helps the
body recover from the effects of stress and fatigue more rapidly
than otherwise.39
LICORICE
ROOT (GLYCYRRHIZA GLABRA) FROM EXTRACT possesses substantial
anti-inflammatory properties and is widely utilized to ameliorate
stiff, inflamed and sore muscles and joints due to arthritis,
rheumatism, lupus, gout and bursitis.40, 41, 42
Licorice root extract contains a triterpene saponin called
glycyrrhizin which exhibits a powerful cortisone-like effect.
European researchers concluded several decades ago that licorice
root extract has none of the side effects associated with
the use of cortisone and hydrocortisone drugs yet is every
bit as effective.43
WINTERGREEN
(GAULTHERIA PROCUMBENS) FROM EXTRACT has long been used to
combat muscle pain, arthritis, and rheumatism as this herb
consists predominately of methyl salicylate, a close relative
of aspirin. In contrast to aspirin, however, small amounts
relieve stomach indigestion instead of causing it.44
