The real cause of a cold, however, is the toxic condition of the body brought about by wrong feeding habits such as an excessive intake of starch, carbohydrates, proteins and other acid-forming foods. A cold is, therefore, nature’s simplest way of expelling toxic waste from the human system. The duration of the cold will depend on the amount of poisons accumulated in the body and the rapidity with which they are expelled. PMS The Benefit of using Yarrow as a natural cure Although 5-HTP is a safe alternative to Serotonin-enhancing drugs, several other compounds that increase Serotonin have received some very bad press. The first of these was tryptophan, the amino acid precursor to 5-HTP. During the 1970s and 1980s, this compound was the subject of many studies that found it to be as effective as the tricyclic compounds for treating Serotonin dysfunctions. The tryptophan used in supplements was manufactured in Japan through a process of bacterial fermentation. However, a bad batch of tryptophan, which contained a contaminant, was released by a single Japanese producer. This contaminant caused breakout of a terrible disorder called eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS). As a result, the FDA banned the sale of all tryptophan in the American health food market.

Fatalities questionably reported from children ingesting berries (CRC). Commission E reports herb permitted only for parenteral injection. Contraindications: hypersensitivity to proteins, chronic progressive infections (e.g., tuberculosis); adverse effects: allergic and other reactions.

CAN cautions that M For prevention of anaemia, it is essential to take the entire B-complex range which includes B12, as well as the natural foods mentioned above. Eating lacto-avo products, which are complete proteins, and which also contain vitamin B12 is good insurance against the disease. Brewer’s yeast is a good source of complete protein.
