Health & Nutrition : The Best Time to Take Multi-Vitamins
The best time to take multi-vitamins is right after a meal with plenty of water, as many vitamins and minerals are fat soluble and require food in the system to be absorbed. Take a multi-vitamin after mealtimes with information from a registered and licensed dietitian in this free video on healthy eating.

Twice Nobel Prize Winning Scientist Claimed Found Artery Clogging Cure
Linus Pauling is the only scientist to win the Nobel Prize twice by himself for his studies. He claimed he found a way to clean semi-clogged arteries and veins of the cholesterol and fat build up without surgery. Notice: see your doctor before doing this program. He said he did some studies and found that arteries and veins can be cleared with massive doses of vitamin C and L-Lysine, an over the counter available amino acid.
The vitamin C recommended is Acorbic Acid, other forms of C such as Mineral Ascorbate or Sodium Ascorbate are not what was claimed to have been used in Pauling’s studies. Linus claimed that artery clogging is actually a form of scurvy which is a disease from a lack of vitamin C.
When the body does not have enough vitamin C it cannot make the artery walls and veins properly or repair them correctly. This causes them to crack under the pressure of the blood flow, like cracked water pipes. Then the body reacts to the cracking by patching it from the inside with a mixture of cholesterol, fat and other substances to cover the cracks. The buildup continues and then a blood clot may form causing a heart attack or stroke by blocking the passage. Linus Pauling claimed that high doses of the Vitamin C and the L-Lysine not only stop the patching and heals the cracks but then the body reverses the process thus strips the patch away, clearing the passage.
There are people who deny all of this and even state Linus Pauling never did or said any of this. Some say he did these things but have problems with his advanced age during the studies and others have other problems with the theory for other reasons. On the reverse, some say this information is not widely known and is somewhat suppressed as well as Linus Pauling’s work because big money is involved.
Going into the details of these studies is beyond the scope of this article. I am no medical doctor and have no medical training. This information is a starting point for you to seek further if this may interest you and again, see your doctor. Pulling a search on the web for Linus Pauling will find a lot of information on him.
There are two side effects that are claimed with mega doses of vitamin C and this treatment that you should know about. The first is kidney stones forming. Again some say this is true with vitamin C others say it is not. These are very painful if true. There was a recent study that was done with real lemon juice-lemon aid. Patients took the lemon aid and it was found that it worked in dissolving the stones but was not as effective as the normal prescription drug (Potassium Citrate) given. Both contain Citrate which helps dissolve stones. Potassium Magnesium (Citrate) has been claimed to also dissolve them, which is an over the counter supplement. The other side effect is you will need to keep taking the vitamin C but can lower the amounts after you feel better. If you do the lemon aid treatment to prevent these stones from forming there are lemon drinks that claim they are made with real lemons but if you look close on the label they contain little or no juice. Drinking more water also has been said to reduce them passing the particles out before they get big.
Also found and highly recommended by Linus’ assistant is Proline, also an over the counter supplement. It has been stated he found the Proline to be more effective than L-Lysine in attracting and pulling the strands that make up the ‘patching compound’ the body creates.
When taking the vitamin C if there is Diarrhea then cut back on the dose until it goes away. Another thing to speed up the process is to cut out hydrogenated or hydrolyzed oils and refined white sugar or Aspartame. Use honey, natural sugar, Stevia (a herb) or some other sweetener if possible. If you love bread and baked goods. A bread machine and a local bakery to cut out the manufactured/ processed oils mentioned above using regular oils such as olive, corn, peanut, or vegetable if possible. Replace butter or margarine with Smart Balance or similar. Replace regular hydrogenated/hydrolyzed oil peanut butter with a natural peanut oil version. A health food store is the best for chips, deserts, crunchy snacks, soda (no Phosphoric acid) and already made meals.
Recommended daily dosages: Must for this treatment: 6000mg-18,000mg of Vitamin C ( Ascorbic Acid), 3000-6000mg Lysine (L-Lysine), not a must but highly recommended: 500mg-2000mg Proline, 150mg-300mg CoQ10, also recommended (dose recommended on bottle): Omega 3 Fish oil, Vitamin E (d not dl(synthetic)), Potassium, Folic acid, and a good multi-vitamin.
The dosages you decide on for the vitamin C, Lysine, and Proline should be divided up into 3 portions for each day and should be taken with meals if possible.

Coeliac Disease Causes Symptoms Information With Treatment
Coeliac disease is a condition that affects the small bowel, caused by an abnormal immune response, or sensitivity, to a dietary protein known as gluten. When the lining of the small intestine is damaged, nutrients like calcium, iron, folic acid and fat-soluble vitamins are poorly absorbed. In some people these proteins cause damage to the tiny projections – or villi – that line the small intestine. Sugars, proteins and fats may be poorly absorbed too.Until recently, celiac disease was considered uncommon in the United States. However, recent studies suggest that the disease may be underdiagnosed and that as many as one in every 133 Americans could have the disease. In some cases, a diagnosis of celiac disease is missed because the symptoms are so varied and may only flare up occasionally. This renders them unable to absorb food properly, and can lead to diarrhoea and malnutrition. These proteins damage the small finger-like projections (villi) that line the small intestine and play a significant role in digestion. When damaged and inflamed, the villi are unable to absorb food properly, which often causes diarrhoea and malnutrition.
Causes of Coeliac Disease
The common Causes of Coeliac Disease :
The exact cause of coeliac disease is unknown.
Severe stress, physical injury, infection, pregnancy, childbirth or surgery may lead to symptoms developing.
Sensitivity to gluten is the cause of coeliac disease and this often runs in families, suggesting a genetic link.
Symptoms of Coeliac Disease
Some Symptoms of Coeliac Disease :
Muscle cramps
Seizures
Fatigue
Failure to thrive in infants
Bone or joint pain
Chronic diarrhea
Recurring abdominal bloating and pain
Pale, foul-smelling, or fatty stool
Behavioral changes
Treatment of Coeliac Disease
A blood test can now help doctors to tell if somebody is likely to have the condition.
Treatment consists of restricting gluten in the diet.
The only effective treatment of Coeliac disease is strict lifelong complete avoidance of Gluten found in cereals such as Wheat, Rye and Barley (many tolerate Oats).
However, the only way to confirm a diagnosis is to remove a small piece of tissue from the intestine for analysis in the laboratory.
You may also be advised to take some vitamin and calcium and iron supplements at least for the first six months following diagnosis. This is to replace any deficiencies, and to make sure you get enough of these whilst the gut lining is returning to normal.

Complete Information on Dent Disease With Treatment and Prevention
Dent disease is a genetic kind of liberal renal bankruptcy. It is one reason of Fanconi syndrome, and is characterized by tubular proteinuria, hypercalciuria, calcium nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and chronic renal bankruptcy. Because of its rather rare occurrence, Dent’s disease is often diagnosed as idiopathic hypercalciuria, i.e. excess calcium in urine with undetermined causes. It is due to mutations that inactivate a voltage-gated chloride channel, named CLC-5, which is expressed in the kidney and is encoded by a gene at Xp11.22. The condition is familial, affecting both males and females in equal numbers, but males are more severely affected than females. In males, it tends to present in childhood or early adult life with symptoms of renal calculi, rickets or even with renal failure.
The clinical presentation is often insidious with the majority of patients remaining asymptomatic throughout childhood. Dent’s disease often produces symptoms of extreme thirst combined with dehydration which leads to frequent urination, impaired urinary acidification, hypercalciuria, kidney stones. Because it is an X-linked recessive disorder, only males are affected with the disease, whereas females are asymptomatic carriers. The males are prone to manifesting symptoms in early adulthood with symptoms of calculi, rickets or even with renal failure in more severe cases. The nephrolithiasis associated with Dent’s disease usually takes the form of nephrocalcinosis. It is thought that the decline in renal function may be partially due to the infection and obstruction associated with nephrocalcinosis. Dent’s disease may also be associated with kaliuresis, phosphaturia, uricosuria.
There is no agreed-upon handling of Dent’s disease and no therapy has been officially accepted. Thiazide diuretics which have been used with success in reducing the calcium production in urine, but they are too known to induce hypokalemia. For patients with osteomalacia, vitamin D or derivatives have been employed, apparently with success. In rats with diabetes insipidus thiazide diuretics inhibit the NaCl co-transporter in the renal distal convoluted tubule leading indirectly to less water and solutes being delivered to the distal tubule. A high citrate diet preserved renal function and delayed progress of renal disease. Amiloride which also increases distal tubular calcium reabsorption and has been used as a therapy for idiopathic hypercalciuria.
