Chapter One
THE FOOD-HEALTH CONNECTIONDecades ago, physicians began warning diabetics away from sugar and sugary foods. More recently, they have raised the alarm about the dangers of eating trans-fats, and they have begun advising people to restrict their intake of certain fish due to the risk of heavy metals contamination. That is, mainstream medicine has made the connection between food and disease—but it has yet to focus on the connection between food and health.
In contrast, sailors and explorers of the "new world" made the food-health connection five hundred years ago. They learned to avoid the horrors of scurvy by eating fresh whole foods. You have likely heard the classic accounts of Christopher Columbus unloading desperately ill sailors to die on a tropical island only to return a few months later to find them not only alive, but thriving. Similarly, when scurvy devastated the crew of French explorer Jacques Cartier in the winter of 1535–1536, First Nations peoples taught the sailors to treat the disease with a tea infused with evergreen needles.
These sailors were lucky because illness and death from scurvy is not pretty. Early symptoms include bleeding under the skin and in deep tissue, receding gums and loose teeth, anemia, fatigue, joint pain, and difficulty walking—a condition that the British Royal Navy viewed as mere laziness and treated with flogging.
The problem, however, was not laziness, but low production of collagen related to low intake of vitamin C. As the disease progressed, bones began to rub painfully together, making it impossible to walk. Sailors eventually died of cerebral hemorrhage, blood loss, or convulsions.
Most physicians of the day scoffed at the idea that something in food could offer a treatment, maintaining that it was the sea air that made the sailors ill. Nevertheless, Dr. John Woodall began treating scurvy with lemon juice and ultimately convinced the East India Company to provide it to their sailors when they were at sea.
In the mid-1700s, James Lind, a surgeon's mate with the British Royal Navy, offered different remedies to six pairs of sailors afflicted with scurvy. To Lind's delight and surprise, the pair given a remedy that included a daily ration of two oranges and one lemon recovered. Eventually, the British Royal Navy was persuaded to use lime juice to prevent scurvy, but it took over 40 years of coaxing and cost an estimated 100,000 seamen their lives before the change was implemented.
Today, healthcare providers acknowledge that the vitamin C contained in citrus fruits and other foods offers a treatment for scurvy. Nevertheless, somewhat like its 18th century predecessors, modern mainstream medicine remains slow to make similar connections between dietary nutrients and health. Yes, physicians have made the connection between some nutrients and certain health conditions: iron and anemia, calcium and osteoporosis, and folic acid and neural tube defects, to name just a few. But are other nutritional deficiencies causing, or at least contributing to, a whole range of unexplained maladies in North America today? It may be possible.
Carol Johnson of Arizona State University (Johnson 2006) claims that vitamin C deficiency is more pronounced in America than iron deficiency—which is reportedly the most prevalent nutrient deficiency. Her study "A Case for C" showed that 6% of subjects were deficient in vitamin C and another 30% were depleted of it; that is, these subjects did not meet the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamin C. Johnson argues that scurvy is misdiagnosed today as polio or vasculitis simply because no one, physician or patient, is on the lookout for scurvy.
What's particularly interesting here is that physicians may be diagnosing polio (a viral cause) or vasculitis (an inflammation) rather than scurvy (a nutrient deficiency). Perhaps this is to be expected for a couple of reasons: first, of course, scurvy is perceived to be a disease of a bygone era, not of our modern age. Second, medical doctors and registered nurses get very little (if any) formal education in nutritional science; their training and profession tend to focus on pharmaceutical and surgical remedies. As a result, it may simply be unreasonable to expect a doctor or nurse trained in Western mainstream medicine to recognize a nutritional deficiency or to offer a nutritional remedy. And even if a doctor undertook extra study in the science of nutrition, medical licensing regulations under which medical doctors work typically discourage them from recommending nutritional remedies.
This focus on pharmaceutical and surgical remedies may not be surprising. After all, a great deal has been achieved in public health in the past hundred years. At the beginning of the 20th century, infections were the leading causes of death. Mainstream medicine used pharmaceutical remedies to win that fight, and it used them again in the fight against pneumonia, diarrhea, and diphtheria. The result was a dramatic reduction in rates of illness and death from these potentially lethal diseases.
As pharmaceutical remedies were proving their worth, nutritional remedies appeared to be losing their value. Soils across the globe were degrading, but in varying degrees. Plants grown in different parts of the world or in different parts of the country, for that matter, did not contain consistent levels of nutrients—at least in part because the quality of the soils varied from place to place and farmer to farmer. How could a physician rely on a nutritional remedy if it could not be measured or controlled? As the use of pharmaceuticals became more successful and more widespread, and as plants (and the soils they grew in) became an increasingly complex issue, nutritional remedies were slowly overshadowed.
Today, the issue of nutrition and its connection to health is hotly debated in medical circles. Medical schools, researchers, physicians, and governing bodies engaged in modern mainstream medicine generally allow little room for nutritional remedies. Healthcare providers in complementary healthcare argue that natural remedies, including food supplements, have a more viable place in healthcare than drugs. Others see the issue in neither black nor white, but in varying shades of gray—where there is room for integrative treatments that combine both mainstream and complementary practices.
Exploring this lively and sometimes intense debate is beyond the scope of this book. The intention here is to draw from solid scientific research to teach you about your own biology, to let you decide whether the foods and food supplements you eat may play a role in your overall well-being, and to help you make informed decisions when you shop. First, though, let's examine a few reasons to consider learning about this at all.
SOME FREAKY FACTS
When you experience a nutrient deficiency, your body will try to alert you. It may send a message via any combination of seemingly inconsequential symptoms: aches and pains, circulatory problems, cognitive impairment (such as brain fog, poor concentration, or memory loss), dandruff, depression, fatigue, infections, insomnia, irritability, or low energy levels. As Dr. Timothy Smith (1999) indicates, these situations tend to "drive doctors up a diagnostic tree". This frustration occurs because the underlying cause is difficult to pinpoint—especially for those who have not been trained in the science of nutrition and nutritional deficiencies.
In these situations, standard medical tests seldom show that anything is abnormal, leaving both physician and patient at a loss. This is the point at which you or your physician or perhaps family, friends, or employers may misinterpret the symptoms as laziness, a bad temper, hypochondria, some kind of mental or character weakness, or simply as normal aging (an old standby that patients seem to accept all-too-readily). Your body's message has been sent and received, but grossly misunderstood.
So you force yourself to go to work, to pull up your socks, to get on with it. It's the modern-day equivalent of flogging a sailor in the early stages of scurvy. Like those sailors, you want to regain your health—but how? As Dr. Smith points out:
If doctors do prescribe treatment, they usually bypass nutritional supplements in favor of drugs such as anti-inflammatories, antidepressants, tranquilizers, and the like. These not only mask symptoms but also deplete nutrient stores even further. This accelerates the degenerative process, which is the forerunner of disease and aging. (Smith 1999)
If a physician cannot diagnose or treat your symptoms or if you simply choose to ignore them, you may succumb to a more serious illness (an event, as it's known in medical terminology). It's important to realize, however, that ill health is seldom an event—it's a process. You become ill one mouthful at a time, one sedentary day at a time, one nutrient-deficient, inactive week at a time.
Despite the best that medical technology can offer, a heart attack or stroke can kill you or permanently debilitate you or, at the very least, leave you unable to play a game of baseball with your children. If you have a leg amputated due to diabetes (which is the leading cause of amputations), you may never again hike a favorite trail or dance a much- loved tango. In fact, once you become ill, you may end up in treatment for the rest of your life.
As these examples illustrate, disease can severely affect your life. Unfortunately, many people do not realize just how severe the changes may be, nor do they realize how great the risks of developing a serious illness may be—but the evidence is all around them.
Here are some freaky facts you need to know.
The First Freaky Fact
According to the American Diabetes Association (2011), 25.8 million children and adults in the United States—8.3% of the population—have diabetes.
In the USA, this disease affects about 11.3% of the population over the age of 20, and prevalence is increasing by about .5% per year.
To make matters worse, another 79 million American adults are pre-diabetic (showing signs of early diabetes), and a Canadian study by Lipscombe and Hux (2007) published in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet reported the prevalence of the disease in Canada increased by 69% between 1995 and 2005. The greatest increase was found among younger people aged 20 to 49 years.
It's a frightening situation because diabetes greatly increases your risks of cardiovascular disease. Diabetes often brings with it other complications that occur with far greater frequency than many people think: erectile dysfunction, blindness, nerve damage often leading to amputation, and kidney disease (with its own set of complications). In the middle-aged and elderly, high blood sugar often results in poor memory as well.
A diagnosis of diabetes is life-altering and potentially life-threatening. Necessary lifestyle changes and monitoring practices may be portrayed as "simple" in everything from medical literature to television advertising, but diabetes is not necessarily easy to manage.
The Second Freaky Fact
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease (which is really a group of diseases often resulting in heart attack or stroke) is the world's leading cause of death. The WHO projects that, by 2030, almost 23.6 million people around the world will die every year from cardiovascular disease.
Today, the website of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (January 2011) states that "about every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event."
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also reports that about once every minute, an American will die from a coronary event. They further estimate that over 785,000 Americans had a new coronary attack in 2009 alone; of these, 470,000 will have a recurrent attack.
In the United Kingdom, the British Heart Foundation (2011) reports cardiovascular disease accounts for 124,000 deaths each year. The foundation also reports that cardiovascular disease imposes a burden of nearly 30 billion per year on the healthcare systems of the UK. No wonder healthcare systems around the world are overburdened and government budgets are bursting.
These costs don't even take into account the huge economic losses suffered as a result of illness and death of patients still in their working years, nor do they include the economic costs borne by families and friends who love and care for the patients. When it's all added up, these indirect costs actually exceed the costs directly attributed to the various EU healthcare systems—and we can't even begin to tally the immeasurable price of worry and heartbreak as families lose fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters to illness that is largely preventable.
Yes, you read that right: mothers and sisters and daughters are becoming ill and dying, too. While cardiovascular disease sometimes is considered a man's disease, women account for almost 50% of deaths due to this killer—and these deaths are not confined to older women, either. The CDC website states that "heart disease is the third leading cause of death among women aged 25–44 years and the second leading cause of death among women aged 45–64 years."
Unfortunately, even in the face of these shocking statistics, many people are still buying greasy or sugary foods, serving them up on overly-large plates, and mindlessly chowing down in front of a screen. Even when a heart surgeon cuts a person open from collar bone to navel, many recovering patients do not change their dietary and exercise habits. After all, as the CDC points out, 60% of people having a coronary attack likely will have a second—and that second one is a real killer.
With statistics like these, it's obvious that looking after your cardiovascular health is really more than a personal choice; it's an economic responsibility and a moral imperative. If the CDC is correct in stating that 80% of cardiovascular deaths are a direct result of poor lifestyle choices, then what you put in your mouth (food, drink, and tobacco) and how physically active (or inactive) you are really does make a difference.
The Third Freaky Fact
In recent years, medical practitioners have seen the prevalence of inflammatory response disorders take off like a rocket. For example, the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/asthma) reports that asthma is the third-ranking cause of hospitalization among children under 15. In fact, in a classroom of 30 students, three likely will have asthma.
In addition, Alzheimer's disease, allergies, certain aggressive forms of cancer, and many other life-altering illnesses have all been linked to inflammation.
As you have read, cardiovascular disease is the world's leading killer. It, too, has been closely linked to the inflammatory process.
The CDC also reports that 50 million Americans have been diagnosed with arthritis, and it anticipates one in every two Americans will get this painful disease sometime during their lives.
It's important to understand that arthritis is not necessarily part of a natural aging process (as patients often are told).
It's important to understand that if you're dealing with arthritis, or any other inflammatory response disorder, the inflammatory response is your immune system's first response to injury. The redness, swelling, and pain typical of any inflammation constitute a warning that problems exist at the cellular level and that your body is attempting to repair itself. When inflammation becomes chronic, however, it can damage healthy tissues.
In medicine, the suffix "itis" at the end of a medical term indicates the condition is an inflammatory response. Arthritis, bursitis, colitis, gastroenteritis, gingivitis, and any other conditions ending with "itis" are all inflammatory responses.
It's crucial to address the source of an inflammatory response and not to simply mask the symptoms with anti-inflammatory drugs. Masking symptoms without adequately addressing the underlying cause can create a chronic condition. Failing to find the cause of the inflammatory response and just masking the symptoms is a little like switching off the fire alarm in a burning building: you turn off that annoying warning bell, but it does nothing to put out the fire.

Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
"Personal data" is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Responsible person
Contact us at any time. The person responsible for data processing is: Ansas Meyer, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück Deutschland, +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, mail@preigu.de
Collection and processing when using the cancellation button
If you have entered into a contract via this platform for which a statutory right of cancellation applies, the platform provides you with a cancellation function (cancellation button) through which you can submit your notice of cancellation immediately.
When using the cancellation function, your personal data (name, email address, details identifying the contract or part of the contract you wish to withdraw from, and the time (date and time) of sending the notice of withdrawal) will only be collected to the extent that you have provided it.
The purpose of data processing is to provide you with the statutory option to withdraw from your contract and to ensure the proper processing of your withdrawal.
The platform operator collects your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, namely the legitimate interest in ensuring the general accessibility of the statutory withdrawal function on the platform. You will receive a confirmation email from the platform operator acknowledging receipt of your notice of withdrawal.
The data is then transmitted to us by the platform operator.
If the contact relates to a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Otherwise, data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, to fulfil a legal obligation to provide an electronic withdrawal function.
We use your email address solely to process your notice of withdrawal. Your data will subsequently be deleted in accordance with statutory retention periods, provided you have not consented to further processing and use.
Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data will be shared, for example, with shipping companies, dropshipping or fulfillment providers, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service providers. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.
Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.
Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
You can lodge a complaint with, among others, the supervisory authority responsible for us, which you may reach at the following contact details:

Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
