Specific Optimizers I Recommend Be Added to the Nutrients, Particular Diseases.

Heart Disease :-

Add approximately 100 mg each of grape seed extract and CoQ10 along with some additional Magnesium, about 200 to 300 mg per day.

Cardiomyopathy:-

Add 300 to 600 mg CoQ10 to patient’s regimen along with some additional Magnesium and 100 mg grape seed extract. Patients will usually see a response within 4 months. CoQ10 is very safe and the top researchers feel comfortable pushing to 600 mg daily if the patient is not responding to the lower doses.

Cancer Patients :-

It is hard to give a simple formula for all the various cancers. But if there is no evidence of the cancer spreading (or the surgeon believes he totally removed it), add 200 mg each of grape seed extract and CoQ10. If the patient has metastatic cancer (cancer that’s spread), I will recommend 300 mg of grape seed extract along with 500-600 mg of CoQ10. Children age 8 to 15 should take only half of the recommended level.

Macular Degeneration :-

For patients with this condition, I primarily add 300 mg of grape seed extract to the Nutrients. I also add approximately 6-12 mg of additional lutein to the regime. I have found that if these patients are going to improve, it will occur within the first 4 month.

Multiple Sclerosis :-

My patients with MS have shown that at least 400 mg of grape seed extract, 200-300 mg of CoQ10, and even some additional 500 to 1000 mg of vitamin C can be helpful in this disease. I warn my MS patient that it may be more than 6 months before they see any improvement.

Lupus and Crohn’s Disease :-

These patients need about 300 mg of grape seed extract and 200 mg CoQ10 added to the basic supplement. Again if these patients improve, it’s usually after about 6 months.

Osteoarthritis :-

I add 1,500-2,000 mg of glucosamine sulfate and 100-200 mg of grape seed extract. I have no problem if they also add 400-600 mg chondroitin sulfate or even 100 mg of MSM if the patient feel these help. I don’t feel the medical evidence is strong enough at this time to absolutely recommend them as optimizers.

Rheumatoid Arthritis :-

Again I add 1,500-2,000 mg of glucosamine sulfate, 300 mg of CoQ10, 400 mg of grape seed extract, and 200 mg of additional Magnesium and calcium. And I increase the omega-3 fatty acids by adding 3 to 4 fish oil capsule or 2 teaspoon of cold-pressed flax seed daily.

Osteoporosis :-

For these patients I do not recommend adding optimizers to my recommendations. I strongly encourage them to be getting the right levels of vitamin D, Calcium, and Magnesium and to be sure they are taking these with food. They also need to get involved in an aggressive weight bearing exercise program for the upper body.

Asthma :-

I add 200-300 mg of grape seed extract (children should take about 2 mg per pound per day) along with additional 1,000 mg vitamin C (children 250-500 milligrams, and 200 mg Magnesium (children could add an additional 100 mg.

Emphysema:-

The basic nutrients like vitamin A, Carotene, vitamin E and add 200 mg of grape seed extract along with additional vitamin C and Magnesium as indicated above under asthma.

Diabetes Mellitus:-

I add approximately 100-200 mg of additional grape seed extract to this regime. The cellular nutrients, vitamin A, C, E, CoQ10, Glutathione and alfa lipoic acid provides everything else the body needs.
