Jake Anthony

The driving force behind this series

of publications was born in England,

just one year into World War Two.

People dying not in combat

but from health problems relating to

lifestyle, including his own parents,

was the life-amending catalyst which

launched Jake Anthonys lifelong

interest in health, fitness and lifeextension - and a search for answers.

A wish to become a professional actor and writer was ful-

filled through hard work and dedication against the odds, and Jake

Anthony obtained a degree of celebrity over the years. His work

as a character actor can still be seen on TV from time to time.

Jake also became one of the most published writers who

nobody knows about! This was due to his work going mainly

uncredited as an internationally published journalist in advertising

and PR; under pseudonyms as author, with many to-kill-for re-

views; and as editor and/or ghost writer for others. Jake had a

couple of small best sellers in the East and the West, and is the

man behind a handful of cult novels which change hands for

large sums via on-line booksellers.

Another life-amending incident occurred when his extremely

fit and healthy actor and stunt man son, died from an interaction

between prescribed drugs. Like Lord Jim - Joseph Conrads char-

acter in the book and movie - Jake left his homeland and wan-

dered the Orient for 20 plus years trying to make sense of it all.

This was interrupted by a series of health disasters at the

hands of the allopathic medical system in the West which would

have killed most people. Ironically, they were initiated by prescribed

drugs that were supposed to cure, not kill. This was added to by

the Western system of treating the symptom rather than fully iden-

tifying the cause.Jakes series of the potential lifestyle based killers included

cancer, crisis level hypertension, borderline type-2 diabetes, acute

and chronic pancreatitis, and gallstones. As prescribed drugs had

initiated his series of interlinked health disasters - and time after

time exacerbated them - Jake turned his back on the Western

medical system and from then on utilised nutritional, holistic andalternative therapies known about for thousands of years in the

Orient and the East. His host of ailments regressed or were con-

trolled, and extra decades of life were obtained. Some joint prob-

lems came later, but you would not believe it when you see the

author pumping iron and skipping (jump rope) like an in-shape boxer.

The authors beating the odds experience and use of ho-

listic and alternative therapies, almost certainly played a part in hissurvival. The How To and Why are detailed in this series of

books. Jakes fit and youthful appearance belies the fact that he is

technically a senior citizen, well over the age of retirement.

Knowledge is power. Your choice.

ForewordAn intelligent approach to vitamin and mineral therapy can play an

important part in the search for good health in its widest sense. It

has also been proven to increase the IQ of young children.

In the modern world nothing can be taken for granted, as

far too many corporations supplying our food place profit before

business integrity. The lowdown on what Big Pharma and Big

Food have been doing to devastate your health with their dead

food and synthetic vitamins, will blow your mind.

When it comes to the nutritional quality of your diet, you will

not wish to take any chances. A comprehensive and easy to un-

derstand guide to vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and thefoods that contain them, is therefore essential.

The author of this series of books has followed most of the

information and recommendations contained within for most of his

life. When you see him pumping iron and skipping (jump rope) like

an in-shape boxer, you would say that the anecdotal evidence re-

garding the content of this book, really works.

THE ROLE OF VITAMINS

An obese person dies on average nine years earlier than some-

body of normal weight. A very obese persons life is cut short

by an average of 13 years. They are also more prone to suffer

from type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke - which

are associated with excess weight.

You are what you eat, and ensuring that you obtain an ad-

equate intake of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes of

the right type, is one of the major keys to good health and longev-

ity. Vitamins are organic food substances found only in living things- plants and animals. Small amounts are required for the regulation

of all bodily processes, such as cell repair, forming bone and tissue,

metabolism, converting fat and carbohydrate into energy, assisting

the immune system, transport of oxygen in the blood, and much

more. Any deficiency in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and en-

zymes will inevitably lead to certain diseases, ailments or abnormalconditions. Without micronutrients we would die.

When we sicken and die prematurely, it is predominately

because the bodys natural repair mechanisms are below par and

the processes of decay are in overdrive. In a great many cases,

this is due to multiple micronutrient depletion.

With few exceptions - such as vitamin D, which can be

obtained from exposure to sunlight - the body cannot manufacturevitamins. They must be supplied in the diet.

There are two types of vitamins - fat soluble and water

soluble.

Fat soluble vitamins are needed every day but can be stored

by the body, so foods containing them do not need to be eaten on a

daily basis. However, taking more than you need of fat soluble


13/15

14

vitamins can be harmful. Everything in moderation.

Water soluble vitamins are not stored in the body, so have to

be taken on a daily basis in foods containing them. Water soluble

vitamins can be destroyed by heat, exposure to the air, and in cooking.

Boiling food loses a lot of its vitamin content. Grilling or steaming is

more conducive to retaining vitamin content. Convection cookers

retain more of the vitamin, mineral, amino acids and enzyme con-

tent of foods. Portable versions are available at low cost..

A balanced diet of fresh, preferably organic food, is clearly

the most favoured and natural method of obtaining a good daily

intake of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. Raw fruits,vegetables and nuts are a particularly good source, as most of the

enzymes in them are retained. Culinary herbs and spices are also

a surprisingly good source in highly bioavailable form.

In a Netherlands six years study, the risk of contracting

Alzheimerss was reduced by 19% for those taking Vitamin E

supplements; 18% for those taking Vitamin C; and 19% for thosewho consumed a high daily intake of vegetables [1].

It has been shown over a long period of time in many coun-

tries, that the substances which mop up free radicals in the body -

antioxidants such as vitamin A, C, E, zinc and selenium - help

prevent cancer and other immune deficiency related illnesses. Folic

acid and the B vitamins help prevent heart disease and stroke [2]

However, other studies including one from the Harvard Medi-cal School and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, reported

in November 2008, found that men taking vitamin C and E antioxi-

dants in supplement form were no more or less likely to develop

cancer than those taking a placebo. Dr. Sesso who oversaw the

study, previously reported that vitamin supplements were unable to

prevent cardiovascular disease. What is important however, is that

those studies used synthetic lab-derived vitamins. Not good.

Laboratory simulated vitamins - which are usually manu-

factured by Big Pharma - are continuously shown to have little or

no positive effect on health, and some vitamins chemically derived

in the laboratory have actually been shown to increase the risk of

contracting disease.

The key to the enigma is to obtain your vitamins and miner-

als from natural food sources - which rules out convenience foods

and junk food restaurant fare. And dont be fooled by labels stating

that a food has been reinforced with vitamins, as they are almost

certainly lab-derived from Big Pharma - many of which have beenproven not to work and some can cause harm.

Vitamins and minerals, and also enzymes and amino acids,

work closely together as co-factors for each others efficacy. If

one part is missing, or in the wrong form or wrong amount, entire

chains of metabolic processes will not proceed normally, leading to

a downward health spiral over a period of time. Synthetic vitaminsconcocted in the lab, do not contain the complete vitamin complex.

An example is ascorbic acid - generally regarded by the

medical and scientific community as being vitamin C. Wrong.

Ascorbic acid is a very important component of vitamin C, but

does not become active vitamin C able to prevent scurvy and other

diseases, unless all the other co-factors which exist in natural vita-

min C - as found in food such as limes and potatoes - are included.This is why huge dosages of ascorbic acid are unable to cure

scurvy, whereas less than 20 mgs of natural vitamin C in a potato,

can.

Dr. Szent-Georgi (Nobel Prize winner, who discovered vi-

tamin C in 1937), came to understand that ascorbic acid, rutin, and

the other factors, were synergists - co-factors which together
