Here is an excerpt from Norm Shealy's newsletter. (www.normshealy.com) He is the "grandfather" of holistic health, and he also trained Carolyn Myss to develop her intuitive medical diagnostic ability.
Everything affects Everything
Deficiencies of ANY essential nutrient can cause multiple problems. In fact at least 85% of ALL illnesses are the result of deficiencies in essential nutrients, exercise and/or stress management!
Most common nutritional deficiencies, and there are many others:
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D 3
- B 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and/or 12
- Folate or folic acid
- Biotin-B 7
- Omega 3's
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin K 2
- Vitamin E, especially tocotrienols
- MSM
- Iodine
- Boron
- Quality protein, especially in vegetarians
- Zinc
- Carotenoids
- Calcium
- Iron
Everything from Alzheimer's to cancer and heart disease can be partially or significantly related to deficiencies. In general, it is far better to take a GOOD multivitamin/mineral plus essential Omega-3's than to depend upon commercial food, unless you raise your own food organically.
