Nutrition Therapy is better than any
drug therapy because it is mainly based on the
use of essential nutrients. Modern
Medicine is not just what allopathy believes in.
Modern Medicine does not begin and end with allopathy.
Nutrition Therapy is not an alternative therapy as
many allopathic and alternative therapists want us to
believe. And Nutrition Therapy is not a subsidiary of
allopathy. Nutritionists must stress the fact that
there is absolutely no alternative to Nutrition.
Unlike allopathy, Nutrition Therapy is the therapy of
the first choice as we cannot live without food, just
as we cannot survive without air and water. Before
Nutrition Therapy, even allopathy is an alternative
therapy.
While trying to
understand the interrelationships between various
nutrients in the last 35 years, I have discovered many
laws that operate in the sphere of Nutrition. I had
published many of my discoveries about these laws,
calling them Jaisinghani's Laws of Nutrition, in the
year 1981. They are already copyrighted in my name
since 1981. I now wish to call these laws as
Jaisingha's Laws of Nutrition. Based on these laws, I
have devised nutrition therapies that can cure many
diseases, and even some forms of AIDS, very
successfully.
Taking
any nutrient in adequate amounts does not ensure that
all the benefits due to that nutrient will be
obtained. There are many factors that have to be
considered to determine the level of need for each
particular nutrient that a particular person requires
at a particular time for his or her particular state
of health, or disease, or for a particular result that
is desired.
Some
factors increase the need for a nutrient, other
factors reduce the need for it. The need for each
nutrient is also influenced by the quantities of other
nutrients that are taken. The actual requirement for a
nutrient is dependent on the amounts of different
groups of nutrients, like the synergists and
antagonists, that are taken by a particular person. In
most cases, the synergists reduce the need, and the
antagonists increase the need, for a nutrient.
Certain diseases increase the need for
some nutrients and reduce the need for some other
nutrients. In certain other diseases with different
symptoms, the increase or reduction in the needs
for the different nutrients may be just the opposite.
Actually there are many diseases that are due to the
excesses or the deficiencies of nutrients, or due to
the wrong or incompatible combinations of nutrients,
that are consumed.
The
classification of the different Laws of Nutrition
mentioned here is not so clear-cut. Many of
these laws have some common characteristics. These
laws facilitate the understanding of the true nature
of many processes of nutrition.
Some
of the Laws of Nutrition state facts that are very
obvious, but unfortunately many
pseudo-nutritionists have been spreading
ideas that are contrary to these laws. These
pseudo-nutritionists want others to believe
that there are no definite laws in Nutrition. This
wrong notion must be dispelled.
The Law on
Combinations
According to the Law on Combinations, the
properties of a nutrient are modified when it is taken
in combination with one or more nutrients with which
it has biochemical affinity.
For
example, the B-complex is more effective and
more useful when it is taken with vitamin A. Because
vitamin A requires fat for its proper absorption and
metabolism, the effectiveness of the
B-complex, in terms of its retention and
utilization in the body, is increased when it is taken
with both vitamin A and fat. So, indirectly, at least,
the retention and utilization of the
B-complex is influenced by fat intake.
Vitamin E taken with the
B-complex has a counterbalancing, moderating
effect on the oxidizing properties of the
B-complex.
Another example is that of taking salts
of the basic minerals with vitamin A, vitamin E and
fat. Vitamin A, vitamin E and fat help in increasing
the absorption, retention and utilization
of the basic minerals.
Vitamin A and protein taken together
are constipating, but when they are consumed
separately at different times they need not cause
constipation. Taken with protein, vitamin C tends to
cause a laxative effect. The protein and vitamin C
combination also tends to cause
hyperacidity.
Massive amounts of iron are absorbed by
the body in the presence of potassium, but hardly any
iron is absorbed when potassium is not present along
with iron. In fact an inorganic iron salt like ferrous
sulfate can cause a stomachache and a headache if it
is not taken with a potassium salt like potassium
chloride or potassium sulfate.
There
is another aspect to the Law on Combinations. There
are a number of nutrients which cause great harm when
they are taken separately, especially on an empty
stomach. Some of the nutrients that can cause such
harm are the B-complex, vitamin K,
and mineral salts like ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate
and copper sulfate, as found in tablets. Taken
separately on an empty stomach, some nutrients besides
causing stomachache, headache and insomnia, can also
cause problems like cough, cold, fever and diseases
commonly considered as infections. Certain purified
nutrients should therefore never be taken separately
on an empty stomach. Some suitable
food article should be taken at the same time
with each of these nutrients.
The
same combination of nutrients can be beneficial or
harmful under different conditions of health or
disease. Many of the other Laws of Nutrition are
directly or indirectly based on the Law on
Combinations. The Law on Combinations is not actually
a single clear-cut law. I have mentioned it
as a law to stress the great importance of
combinations in the sphere of Nutrition.
The Law on the Time
Factor
According to the Law on the Time
Factor, when two or more nutrients with biochemical
affinity are taken separately at different intervals
of time, they produce an effect that is different, or
is of less intensity, than the effect that is produced
when they are taken together at the same time. The
greater the time lag between the intakes of the two
nutrients, the weaker is the effect that is
produced.
For
example, taken together protein and vitamin A produce
a constipating effect. The constipating effect goes on
reducing with a greater and greater time lag between
the intake of protein and the intake of vitamin A. So
a protein-rich food taken at 9-00
a.m. and a vitamin A-rich food taken at
10-00 a.m. can produce a lesser constipating
effect than they would if they are both taken at
9-00 a.m. or 10-00 a.m. A
protein-rich food taken at 9-00 a.m.
and a vitamin A-rich food taken at
1-00 p.m. can produce hardly any constipating
effect.
A patient,
suffering from heart disease, who takes a large amount
of vitamin A immediately after eating a meal rich in
protein (and fat), can even collapse in a few minutes
and die soon of a heart
attack.
Taken
with a protein-rich food, a sufficient
quantity of vitamin C causes an appreciable laxative
effect and hyperacidity. But taken two or three hours
before or after a protein-rich food, vitamin
C can cause very little laxative effect and
hyperacidity.
Vitamin E taken at the same time with
the B-complex tablets, prevents the harm due
to the excessively strong oxidative effects of the
B-complex. But taken two or three hours after
the B-complex tablets, vitamin E is less
effective as an antioxidant to counterbalance the
oxidative effects of the supplementary
B-complex.
The Law on
Sequences
According to the Law on Sequences, when
two or more nutrients with biochemical affinity are
taken in different orders of sequences, the effect
that is produced in the case of each different
sequence is different.
For
example, vitamin C and protein taken at 9-00
a.m. and vitamin A taken at 11-00 a.m.
produce a laxative effect, but vitamin A and protein
taken at 9-00 a.m. and vitamin C taken at
11-00 a.m. produce a constipating effect.
Protein, vitamin C and vitamin A taken at the same
time may produce neither a laxative effect nor a
constipating effect. Of course, the effect will be
decided more by the quantities of the two vitamins
taken.
The Law on
Synergism
According to the Law on Synergism, when
two or more nutrients producing a common effect in the
body are taken together, the effect is much greater
than that produced when the nutrients are taken
separately at different times.
For
example, the following nutrients are constipating
synergists:
Vitamin
A
Vitamin E
Vitamin
K
Vitamin B2
(riboflavin)
Vitamin B6
(pyridoxine)
Niacin
Tryptophan (an amino
acid)
Folic
acid
Protein
Fat
Some organic acids (like
citric acid, but not vitamin
C)
Calcium
Fluoride
Chloride
(Bromide)
Nitrates and some other
compounds of nitrogen
Copper
Etc.
All of these nutrients taken
together produce such a great constipating effect that
even the worst forms of diarrhea and dysentery can
be controlled or even cured with their help in a
few hours! Even the most serious
infectious type of diarrhea
or dysentery is no match for this constipating
combination. Of course, the toxins or chemicals that
cause the diarrhea or dysentery must also be prevented
from entering the body of the affected
person.
Various combinations of these
constipating nutrients can be used for treating the
symptoms and conditions related
to diarrhea such as
the damage to the gastrointestinal tract, dehydration,
fever, low blood pressure, heart
disease with low blood pressure, rapid loss of weight,
chronic fatigue, diabetes (IDD),
acidosis, gout, low levels
of fat and cholesterol in the body, ulcers, ulcerous
cancers, etc. The proper combination of
these nutrients can even be used for treating AIDS
associated with persistent
diarrhea and related
symptoms.
Another
example is that of the laxative synergists such
as:
Vitamin
C
Vitamin
D
Thiamine (Vitamin
B1)
Pantothenate
Sodium
Potassium
Magnesium
Manganese
Iodine
Chromium
Phosphates and some
other compounds of
phosphorus
Zinc
Etc.
All of
these nutrients taken together produce a very strong
laxative effect, and are helpful in curing the worst
forms of constipation.
Various combinations of these
laxative nutrients can be used for treating the
symptoms and conditions related to constipation such
as edema, high blood pressure, high levels of fat and
cholesterol in the body, heart disease, some forms of
cancer, chronic fatigue, diabetes
(NIDD), leukemia, etc.
The
proper combination of these nutrients can even be used
for treating AIDS associated with extremely
severe constipation and related
symptoms.
The energy synergists
are as follows:
Protein
Fat
Carbohydrate
Some
organic acids like fatty
acids
Alcohol
Thermal energy or
heat.
The energy synergists
produce a sparing effect for one another in providing
the energy needs of the body.
It must be
noted that the synergism of two or more nutrients is
for a specific effect only. Two or more nutrients may
be synergists for one particular effect, but they may
not be synergists for another particular effect.
The synergists for one effect can
even be antagonists for another effect. For example,
vitamin A, fat and the basic minerals like magnesium,
calcium, potassium and sodium are synergists in
preventing and curing one type of
acidosis in the body. But vitamin A, calcium
and fat are antagonists of magnesium, potassium and
sodium in their effects on the bowel movements,
as vitamin A, calcium and fat are constipating
factors, while magnesium, potassium and sodium
are laxative factors.
Thiamine and
magnesium are synergists as laxative factors. But they
are antagonists in maintaining the acid-base
balance, as thiamine tends to increase acidity, while
magnesium tends to reduce the acidity in the body.
The nutrients
and other biochemicals can be grouped together in many
different ways to get the different synergistic
effects, that is, effects that are stronger. So, there
are blood pressure-lowering synergists, blood
pressure-raising synergists, laxative
synergists, constipating synergists, etc. There are
many other synergetic groups of nutrients falling
under different classifications.
Taken in excess, the
constipating factors with sodium (and water) are
synergetic in raising the blood
pressure.
Thiamine,
potassium and iodine are synergetic in lowering the
blood pressure under certain
conditions.
Vitamin A,
vitamin E and fat are synergetic in helping to
increase the absorption, retention and utilization of
the basic minerals.
COROLLARY:
The synergists cause a sparing effect on a person's
need for each synergetic nutrient. Synergism reduces
the need, as well as the tolerance, for each nutrient.
So, most synergists help in moderating the deficiency
of a nutrient that belongs to their group. This aspect
of the Law on Synergism can as well be termed as the
Law of Sparing
Effect.
The
interchangeability between nutrients due to the
sparing effect of synergism is not absolute in most
cases. For example, greater amounts of the
constipating factors - vitamin A,
niacin, folic acid, protein, acids and
fluoride - reduce the need for fat, but
fat cannot be replaced completely by them. The
substitution of one essential nutrient by another can
only be partial. This is due to the fact that the
synergists have a sparing action on the need for a
nutrient for a particular effect only, while the
nutrient is also needed for many other effects for
which it is essential to the body.
The Law on
Antagonism
According to the Law on
Antagonism, a nutrient producing a particular
biochemical reaction in the body, reduces the
effectiveness of an antagonistic nutrient in producing
an opposite biochemical reaction, and therefore it
also increases the need (as well as the tolerance) for
the antagonistic nutrient. Conversely, the
antagonistic nutrient also reduces the effectiveness
of the nutrient and increases its need.
For
example, the constipating factors taken in larger
amounts reduce the effectiveness of the laxative
factors. So the need for the laxative factors
increases proportionate to the increased intakes of
the constipating factors. Therefore, the greater the
intakes of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6,
niacin, tryptophan, folic acid,
protein, fat, acids, calcium,
fluoride, chloride, nitrate and copper, the greater is
the need for vitamin C, vitamin D, thiamine,
pantothenate, sodium, potassium, magnesium,
manganese, iodine, chromium,
phosphate, zinc, etc.
An
antioxidant like vitamin E is an antagonist of the
B-complex factors, particularly thiamine and
vitamin B12, which
have oxidative properties. The larger the intake of
vitamin E, the lesser is the effectiveness of the
B-complex factors in the oxidative processes
in the body, and so greater becomes the need for the
B-complex. Actually, the oxidative processes
are just slowed down. Conversely, the larger intakes
of the B-complex factors, especially of
thiamine and vitamin B12, reduce
the effectiveness of the antioxidant property of
vitamin E.
The
antagonism between nutrients is for a particular
effect. The antagonists for one effect need not be
antagonists for another effect. They can even be
synergists for the other effect. For example, thiamine
and sodium are antagonists in the maintenance of the
blood pressure in the body, as thiamine tends to lower
the blood pressure and sodium tends to raise the blood
pressure. But they are synergists in producing a
laxative effect. Likewise, niacin and sodium are
antagonists in their individual actions on the
intestines, as niacin is a constipating factor
and sodium is a laxative factor. But niacin and sodium
are synergists in raising the blood pressure. Vitamin
C is an antagonist of magnesium, sodium and potassium
in the acid-base balance, but vitamin C and
these basic minerals are synergists as laxative
factors.
The
antagonism between two nutrients in a particular
biochemical reaction does not necessarily indicate
that they are incompatible and cannot be taken
together. A nutrient can even help in increasing the
absorption, retention and metabolism of its
antagonist. For example, vitamin A and fat, which are
constipating factors, help in increasing the
absorption, retention and metabolism of thiamine,
magnesium, sodium and potassium, which are laxative
factors.
COROLLARY:
Two or more antagonistic nutrients can be taken
together in large amounts. It is possible to take high
doses of the antagonists together because they can
balance the two opposing tendencies. For example,
large intakes of the constipating factors can be used
with large intakes of the laxative factors. Large
amounts of the B-complex factors, which have
oxidizing properties, can be taken with a large amount
of vitamin E, which is an
anti-oxidant.
The Law on Combinations of
Synergists and
Antagonists
According to this law, the need
(as well as the tolerance) for a nutrient is reduced
by the greater intakes of its synergists and also by
the lesser intakes of its antagonists. Conversely, the
need for a nutrient is increased by the lesser intakes
of its synergists and by the greater intakes of its
antagonists.
For example,
the need for vitamin C is reduced by the greater
intakes (and assimilation) of the other laxative
factors - vitamin D,
thiamine, pantothenate,
magnesium, manganese,
sodium, potassium, iodine, chromium,
phosphate, etc, as well as
by the lesser intakes of the constipating factors
- vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin
B6, niacin, tryptophan, folic acid, protein, fat,
acids, fluoride, chloride, nitrate and copper. The
need for vitamin C is increased by the lesser intakes
of the other laxative factors as well as by the
greater intakes of the constipating
factors.
The need for
vitamin A is reduced by the greater intakes of the
other constipating factors and by the lesser intakes
of the laxative factors. The need for vitamin
A is increased by the lesser intakes of the other
constipating factors and by the greater intakes of the
laxative factors.
The need for
iodine is reduced by the greater intakes of the other
laxative factors and by the lesser intakes of the
constipating factors. The need for iodine is
increased by the lesser intakes of the other laxative
factors and by the greater intakes of the constipating
factors.
It is wrong
to believe that a single nutrient can not affect much
the metabolism of other nutrients. The greater or
lesser intake of even a single nutrient can affect the
metabolism of many other nutrients. Directly and
indirectly, the metabolism of practically all the
nutrients is affected by a change in the intake of
even a single essential
nutrient.
The greater
intake of vitamin A reduces the need for the other
constipating factors and increases the need for the
laxative factors. The lesser intake of vitamin A
increases the need for the other constipating factors
and reduces the need for the laxative
factors.
The greater
intake of thiamine reduces the need for the other
laxative factors and increases the need for the
constipating factors. The lesser intake of thiamine
increases the need for the other laxative factors and
reduces the need for the constipating
factors.
The Law on Ratios of
Antagonists
According to this law, when two
antagonistic nutrients are taken, the higher than
normal ratio of their intakes gives a result that is
the opposite of the result that is given by a lower
than normal ratio.
For example,
the thiamine to niacin ratio of 1 : 3 is laxative,
while the thiamine to niacin ratio of 1 : 15 is
constipating.
The Law on Ratios of
Synergists
According to this law, when two
synergetic nutrients are taken together, the higher or
lower intake of any one of the nutrients greatly
increases or decreases the effectiveness of a common
property of both.
For example,
5000 I.U. of vitamin A is much more constipating taken
with 50 gms of protein than 5000 I.U. of
vitamin A taken with 25 gms of
protein.
The Law on Correct Adjustments of
Nutrients
According to the Law on Correct
Adjustments of Nutrients, when the intake of any
nutrient (or nutrients) has to be increased or
reduced, the intakes of other nutrients, particularly
the intakes of its synergists and its antagonists
should be adjusted (reduced / increased) on the basis
of the particular biochemical effect or effects
required, and by avoiding or minimizing the possible
harmful side-effects.
For example,
if more vitamin A is taken for curing diarrhea, then
the intakes of the other constipating factors may also
be increased, or the intakes of the laxative factors
may be reduced, or both the steps may be taken, that
is, the intakes of the other constipating factors may be
increased and the intakes of the laxative factors may
be reduced. But when more vitamin A is required for
curing night-blindness, and when there is no
diarrhea, then the intakes of the other constipating
factors may be reduced, or the intakes of the laxative
factors may be increased, or both the steps may be
taken, so that the bowel motions are of the same
condition as before. The adjustments of the nutrients
should be of such a nature that there is neither a
tendency to constipation nor to diarrhea. When both
diarrhea and night-blindness are present, the
greater intake of vitamin A should be used along with
the first alternative as in the case of diarrhea
alone.
If more
magnesium (as magnesium sulfate or magnesium
hydroxide) is taken to cure hyperacidity, and there is
constipation too, the intakes of the laxative factors
may be increased, or the intakes of the constipating
factors may be reduced, or both the steps may be
taken. But if more magnesium is taken to cure
hyperacidity when there is no constipation, the
intakes of some laxative factors like vitamin C,
thiamine and iodine may be reduced, and the intakes of
some constipating factors like vitamin A and fat may
be increased, so that the bowel motions are not
affected.
It is not
easy to make the proper adjustments in the intakes of
all the nutrients. It may be easy to increase or
reduce the intakes of some nutrients, but it may be
difficult to do so in the case of other nutrients. So,
it is more convenient to make the proper adjustments
between the opposing groups of nutrients. A group of
synergetic nutrients should be properly balanced with
the group of their antagonists.
The
adjustments between nutrients are the most difficult
when many biochemical processes have to be modified in
the body. While getting some good effects that are
needed, there may also be other effects which may be
harmful, because of the less perfect adjustments
between nutrients. The adjustments should be of such a
type that the required benefits are obtained with the
least amount of harm due to the
side-effects.
The Law on the Cause of Excess of a
Nutrient
According to this law, the
excess of a nutrient in the body is caused by the greater
intake of the nutrient, or by the higher intakes of
its synergists, or by the lower intakes of its
antagonists, or by any two or all three of these
alternatives.
For example,
the excess of vitamin A in the body is caused by the greater
intake of vitamin A, by (the sparing effect of) the
greater intakes of the other constipating factors
(niacin, folic acid, fat, protein, acids, fluorine),
and / or by the lesser intakes (and lesser
assimilation) of the laxative factors (vitamin C,
thiamine, magnesium, sodium, potassium,
iodine).
The excess of
vitamin C in the body is
caused by the greater intake of vitamin C, by the
greater intakes (and assimilation) of the other
laxative factors, and / or by the lesser intakes of
the constipating factors.
It is clear
from the above examples that, in most cases, the
excess of any nutrient in the body is a relative excess. The relative excess of a nutrient is
caused by the greater intakes of its synergists and by
the lesser intakes of its antagonists. The absolute excess of a nutrient is
caused by a greatly excessive intake of the
nutrient.
The excess of
a nutrient can be removed fast from the body by
reducing the intakes of the nutrient and its
synergists, and by increasing the intakes of its
antagonists.
The Law on the Cause of Deficiency of a
Nutrient
According to this law, the
deficiency of a nutrient in the body is caused by the lesser
intake of the nutrient, or by the lower intakes of its
synergists, or by the higher intakes of its
antagonists, or by any two or all three of these
alternatives.
For example,
the deficiency of protein is caused by the lesser
intake of protein, by the lesser intakes of the other
constipating factors, and / or by the greater intakes
of the laxative factors.
The
deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1) is caused by the lesser
intake of thiamine, by the lesser intakes (and lesser
assimilation) of the other laxative factors, and / or
by the greater intakes of the constipating factors.
In most
cases, the deficiency of any nutrient is a relative deficiency. The relative deficiency of a nutrient
is caused by the lesser intakes of its synergists and
by the greater intakes of its antagonists. The absolute deficiency of a nutrient
is caused by a very small intake of the nutrient.
The
deficiency of a nutrient can be removed fast from the
body by increasing the intakes of the nutrient and its
synergists, and by reducing the intakes of its
antagonists.
The Law on the Effect of High Intakes
of a Nutrient on Antagonists
According to this law, the
higher the intakes of a nutrient, the greater is the
risk of development of relative deficiencies of the
antagonists of the nutrient.
For example, the
higher intakes of vitamin A over a long period cause a
constipating tendency and the deficiencies of the
laxative factors.
The higher intakes of
vitamin C over a long period cause a laxative tendency
and the deficiencies of the constipating
factors.
Large amounts
of a nutrient should, preferably, not be taken over a
long period as they can cause severe nutritional
imbalances.
The Law on
the Effect of Low Intakes of a Nutrient on
Synergists
According to this law, the lower
the intakes of a nutrient, the greater is the risk of
development of relative deficiencies of its synergists
too.
For example, the
lower intakes of fat over a long period cause
deficiencies of the constipating factors and a
laxative tendency.
The lower intakes of
magnesium over a long period cause deficiencies of the
laxative factors and a constipating tendency.
Taking lower
amounts of a nutrient over a long period causes
deficiencies of its synergists because the antagonists
become more effective.
The Law on Multiple Cross
Excesses
According to this law, when
there are multiple cross excesses of both the
constipating and the laxative factors in the body, the
excesses of the constipating factors tend to be more
dominant than the excesses of the laxative
factors.
The excesses
of the constipating factors in the body cause
constipation, which increases the urge for the
greater intakes of laxative factors. Constipation also
causes the greater retention
of the laxative factors in the body. The greater intakes and
greater retention of the
laxative factors in the body, due to the excesses of the
constipating factors, results in the development of
multiple cross excesses.
If the
excesses of the laxative factors were more dominant
than the excesses of the constipating factors in the
body, there would be diarrhea, in which condition the
body would tend to get deficiencies of the
constipating factors. So, even though there may be
excesses of both the laxative and the constipating
factors in the diet, the
diarrhea makes it difficult for the condition of
multiple cross excesses to develop in the body.
The multiple
cross excesses, dominated more by the excesses of the
constipating factors, cause the diseases associated
with constipation, hypothyroidism and an
anemia-like condition. The diseases
associated with the multiple cross excesses should
therefore be treated primarily by removing the
excesses of the constipating factors. Once the
excesses of the constipating factors are removed, it
is easy to remove the excesses of the laxative factors
too.
For example, the excesses of the
constipating factors in the body can lead to the
greater intake of salt and to the greater retention of
sodium and water in the body. That causes edema, high
blood pressure and heart disease. When the intakes of
the constipating factors are reduced, the retention of
sodium and water are reduced in the body, and the
conditions of edema, high blood pressure and heart
disease get cured.
The Law on Multiple Cross
Deficiencies
According to this law, when
there are multiple cross deficiencies of both the
constipating and the laxative factors in the body, the deficiencies of the
constipating factors tend to be more dominant than the
deficiencies of the laxative
factors.
The
deficiencies of the constipating factors in the body cause diarrhea, which
reduces the urge for the intakes of the laxative
factors. Diarrhea also causes reduction in the retention of the
laxative factors in the body. The reduced intakes and the
lesser retention of the
laxative factors in the body, due to the deficiencies of
the constipating factors, results in the development
of multiple cross deficiencies.
If the
deficiencies of the laxative factors were more
dominant than the deficiencies of the constipating
factors in the body, there would be constipation, in
which condition the body would tend to have excesses
of the constipating factors. So, even though there may
be deficiencies of both the laxative and the
constipating factors in the diet, the constipation makes it
difficult for the condition of multiple cross
deficiencies to develop in the body.
The multiple
cross deficiencies, dominated by the deficiencies of
the constipating factors, cause the diseases
associated with diarrhea. The diseases associated with
the multiple cross deficiencies should therefore be
treated primarily by removing the deficiencies of the
constipating factors. Once the deficiencies of the
constipating factors are removed, and the diarrhea is
cured, it is easy to remove the deficiencies of the
laxative factors too.
For example, the deficiencies of
the constipating factors in the body can lead to the
lesser intake of salt and to the lesser retention of
sodium and water in the body. That causes dehydration
and low blood pressure. When the intakes of the
constipating factors are increased, the intake of salt
can also be increased. That results in the greater
retention of sodium and water in the body and the
conditions of dehydration and low blood pressure get
cured.
The Laws on the Incompatibilities
of Nutrients
The classification of nutrients that are
incompatible, is not on the basis of their
antagonistic properties. Most of the antagonistic
nutrients can be taken together as they are not
incompatible. In most cases, the antagonists do not
cause any harm when they are taken together. Taken
together, some antagonists can even prevent harm that
may otherwise be caused by the individual nutrients.
Under the different conditions of health and
disease, certain nutrients and their combinations are
incompatible and cause harm to the body.
The Law on the Incompatibility of High
Intakes of Synergists
According to this law, the high
intakes of a group of synergetic nutrients are incompatible for a
healthy, normal person (unless they are counterbalanced with an antagonistic
group of nutrients).
