In the area of vegetarian diet, are you getting all the nutrition you need if you are eating 80% raw organic vegetables and growing sprouts?
Vitamins B
Almost everyone has a vitamin b12 deficiency, and this includes meat eaters who think they are getting plenty of b12.
Dr. Brian Clement and his staff at the Hippocrates Health Institute have been collecting the blood profiles of hundreds of people in part to analyze their level of B-12 (cobalamin). In May 2005, it came to the attention of his staff that urine and cell specific analysis for B-12 deficiencies were far superior to the standard blood review.
They then set out on a research mission that has now accrued several hundred nutrient-specific tests. It was discovered that well over half the population tested was lacking this essential nutrient. This inspired an investigation that led Dr. Brian Clement to research the gastro-intestinal tract itself. After many hours in medical archives, he thinks he has discovered the core of why B-12 is absent.
In the past, it was thought that B-12, and more specifically the bacteria that produces it, could be found in foods such as blue-green algae, green algae, tempeh, etc. The assumption was that when these foods were consumed, you would receive cyanocobalamin, a soil-based bacteria, precursor to human bioactive B-12.
Unfortunately, recent research has surfaced indicating that the human body does not possess the ability to absorb the B-12 found in plant sources.
It was also thought that carnivores and lacto-consumers received B-12 from the animal fare they consumed. However Dr. Brian Clement has found that meat and dairy consumers suffer the same level of B-12 deficiency as vegetarian and vegans.
His hypothesis is that the processed and cooked animal foods contain a neutered B-12 that is no more able to fulfill the bodyâEUR(TM)s nutritional need for B-12 than a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Allopathic medicine teaches that there are plentiful amounts of B-12, its source being bacteria that proliferate in the colon, but that the cells were unable to absorb it. According to the medical community, this rich source of B-12 is unavailable to the body and therefore useless for preventing diseases caused by B-12 deficiency.
Historically, the vitamin b12 you need was produced by your body, but not anymore. We have weakened our bodies over several generations with our modern lifestyle.
In fact Dr. Brian Clement proposes that there have been anatomical changes in the human large intestine. Observing sketches, and, in later years, photographs, of the colon, he believes that there was a defined pocket protruding just below the ileo-cecal valve that released predigested food from the small intestine into the large intestine.
B-12 was ingested and absorbed by consuming biological foods grown in naturally fertilized soil where the nutrient was unaltered by pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and the heating process. When this bacterially rich nutritious substance temporarily housed itself in the protruding pocket, it acted as an organic fertilization factory.
Unfortunately, from 1700, and every 50 years forward to 2005 there appears to be a continuous decrease in the size of this protruding pocket until its near absence was apparent in the early 20th century. In the past, this bacterium cultured and re-cultured itself, providing the nutrient in a sustainable and adequate form to maintain appropriate and sufficient levels of B-12 in the body.
B-12 deficiency can affect the production of the essential myelin sheath that insulates each neuronal cell from those surrounding it. Without this sheath, neuronal cells and the neurological system itself can literally short out to a greater or lesser extent, producing symptoms from numbness and tingling to a complete loss of sensation and motor function.
Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's are examples of what havoc the absence this bacterial nutrient plays on the body.
From this research, it is Dr. Brian Clement's scientific and professional opinion that every man, woman, and child should supplement their diet with a bacterial form of a nutraceutical B-12.
This is one of the key supplements even for those on the best raw foods vegetarian diet.
