Nutritional Practice
Session 6
Information contained in this seminar series
should not be construed as a claim or
representation that any procedure or
product mentioned constitutes a specific
cure, palliative or ameliorative, for any
condition.
Continuing our study into nutrition and the use of the
Symptoms Survey, we now see that the High Priority
Groups, Digestion, Liver/Biliary and Sugar Handling, are
the main area’s of treatment for many other systems of the
body.
The webs main frame is now woven, the remaining silks
weave through the frame work to catch more bugs…. As the
one system is affected so to are the others.
Remember it is the habits of the patient that cause the
cascade of ill health as it is also the habits that support
good health.

the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.”

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
o
The energy that a cell needs to maintain itself and perform its various
functions is supplied by the oxidation of the food within the cell. In this
respect, Vitamin B complex performs an important role by catalyzing the
various chain reactions through its co-enzymes. This to a very large extent is
related to carbohydrate metabolism and as such we must consider not only the
amount of Vitamin B complex which is provided by the diet, but also the
requirements for that vitamin which may be created by the ingestion of excess
amounts of high carbohydrate foods, particularly sugars. Thus, the
requirements for Cataplex B vary according to the amounts of
carbohydrates ingested. By this reason it may prove futile to administer
Cataplex B without a corresponding reduction in the overall alimentation
causing the initial problem. However, when both Cataplex B is given and
carbohydrate intake is brought into range, results are usually satisfactory.
Cataplex B should be considered as an important adjunct in most if not all degenerative and debilitating diseases
and as such used in a much wider range of clinical situations than will be outlined.

The general nutritional effects may be listed as follow:
1. Enzymatic tranquilizer
5. Acts to normalize liver function
2. Cell proliferating factor
6. Benefits autonomic nervous system
3. Acts as coronary relaxant
7. Vasodilation effect
4. Liberation of free choline
8. Beneficial effect in digestive processes
to tissues (cholinesterase)
Discussion:

When the synapse at the myoneural junction is effected by either a deficiency of
enzymes (mediator substances) or a deficiency of potassium, it is apt to be delayed or
not occur at all. The result may be paralysis, dystrophy or ptosis.

Unless degeneration has gone too far, the administration of Cataplex G (cholinesterase
precursors) and Organic Minerals (as a source of potassium), often quickly restores the
functional response. This failure of synapse may be suspected in localized areas of
stress in various conditions, such as angina pectoris, coronary insufficiency, stomach
spasms and complaints of “nervousness”.

Cataplex G apparently has an influence on intracellular metabolism and may be
considered a cell-proliferating factor judging by clinical results in some types of viral
involvements and healing processes.

Beneficial in digestive processes requiring healing (gastritis) and in processes
involving the pancreas and parietal cells of the stomach, also a tranquilizing effect
in hyper-peristaltic activity.

The normal electrical conduction in the heart allows the impulse that is
generated by the sinoatrial node (SA node) of the heart to be
propagated to (and stimulate) the myocardium (Cardiac muscle). The
myocardium contracts after stimulation. It is the ordered stimulation of
the myocardium that allows efficient contraction of the heart, thereby
allowing blood to be pumped throughout the body.

The volume of blood within a ventricle immediately before a
contraction is known as the end-diastolic volume (EDV) . Similarly, the
volume of blood left in a ventricle at the end of contraction is endsystolic volume. The difference between end-diastolic volume (EDV)
and end-systolic volumes (ESV) represents the Stroke Volume.



Stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from one
ventricle of the heart with each beat
Cardiac output (CO) is the volume of blood being pumped
by the heart, in particular by a left or right ventricle in the
time interval of one minute. An average resting cardiac
output would be 5.6 L/min for a human male and 4.9 L/min
for a female
Ejection Fraction (EF) is the fraction of the end-diastolic
volume that is ejected with each beat; that is, it is stroke
volume (SV) divided by end-diastolic volume (EDV).


In a healthy 70-kilogram (150 lb) man, the SV is approximately 70 mL
and the left ventricular EDV is 120 mL, giving an ejection fraction
of 70⁄120, or 0.58 (58%).
Healthy individuals typically have ejection fractions between 50% and
65%

• Healing Scurvy (Spongy, bleeding gums,
hemorrhage, etc.)
Possible Etiological Background
Perhaps of all the vitamin factors Vitamin C is the
most concerned with oxygenation mechanisms, and
this, in turn may account for its protein protective
function. The increase in the oxygen carrying
capacity of the blood when Vitamin C is supplied
in deficiency states is evidence of this hypothesis.
In addition, the natural Vitamin C complex contains
the enzyme tyrosinase, a copper containing factor,
copper being also active in formation of
hemoglobin, an oxygenation factor of known
activity.
Vitamin C complex is known as “the prima donna vitamin” and this is understandable because it serves the
widest variety of protective functions in the body and needs the least physiological explanation of its
mechanism for clinical use. Vitamin C, therefore, apparently “blends” well with the varied metabolic
reactions in the body and, as such, “side-effects” are practically unknown. At the same time, the possible
rewards are very considerable-consider for example we have the often made statements that an infection
can only become overwhelming in the face of severe Vitamin C deficiency. The adrenal glands are also
rich storage depots for Vitamin C and in their hyperactivity this reserve is depleted. All of which leads us
to conclude that Vitamin C complex plays an important role in the defensive mechanisms of the body, and,
by the same line of reason, its need is increased when these defenses are at an expense, as for example,
during fever, toxemia and acute infections.
Vitamin C is a very misunderstood vitamin…The real vitamin C complex contains the vitamin P
factors (bioflavonoids, rutin) which maintain vascular integrity. These are deficient in people
who bruise easily or who have “pink toothbrush.” Their blood vessels break or rupture too
easily and bleed. The P factors strengthen the vascular system. They make the vessels tougher
and more durable. Vitamin K is another part of the C complex. It promotes prothrombin. That
means it helps in coagulation…If you have plenty of vitamin K, it’s used in the formation of
protein which is then transported to the injured tissue. Another factor in the C complex is
vitamin J. The J factor is part of the C complex which increases the oxygen-carrying capacity
of the blood. If you have a cold, you want to get oxygen to your tissues where it oxidizes the
toxins and carries them off with carbon dioxide. The addition to these, the C complex contains
enzymes…

As such, Cardiotrophin
provides a valuable
remedy for these patients,
particularly where such
activity would be inadvised
or otherwise unobtainable.
Clinical rationalization for use is suggested as follows:
1. As a potentiator of nutrition to the muscle cell, thus useful in muscular weakness, atrophy,
etc. In this respect, myoneural junction disorder must also be considered. See
―Myoneural Junction Disorders‖ in Clinical Trophology.
2. As a nutritional factor favoring the geriatric patient, its tonic effect being most evident in
these patients.
3. As a nutritional factor in increasing the energy metabolism of the muscle cell via the ATP
mechanisms, apparently in same relation as exercises, which to the limits of tolerance is
beneficial both to the diabetic and congestive heart failure patient.
4. Because of its effects in carbohydrate metabolism, as a possible factor in conditioning
the hyperkalemia patient, a finding in Addison‘s Disease, which may also result in heart
block. See notes under Side-Reactions for details.

The following nutritional effects are to be considered:
• Promotes tissue repair rate
• Acts to increase cellular activity.
• Increases tissue response to stress.
• Acts as nerve relaxant.
The non-specificity of symptoms of Vitamin E deficiency make it difficult to outline a clinical situation
which fits these effects, however, it is believed that a much wider application of use exists than has
been outlined.
Indications: Tissue repair, Connective tissue

imbalances, viral infections, cardiovascular
needs and post-operative healing.
Commentary: Promotes cell repair, anti-scarring,

muscles, ligaments, tendons), specific support to

selenium and aids in pituitary function.
John Courtney: Our Vitamin E Complex product (Cataplex E) presents a situation similar to our
other vitmains formulas. Dr. George Goodheart, for instance, who has developed this muscles
testing technique, AK, frequently lectures to doctors, and he always calls one up and check him
for vitamin E. He will say, “You’re deficient in vitamin E.” The doctor usually says, “That’s
impossible. I take 800 units of vitamin E every day.” So George says, “Take one now.” So the
doctor takes one and George tests him and there is no change. So he gives the doctor one of
our two unit Cataplex E tablets and the doctor becomes stronger. This is what I mean by
function. We are interested in making a product that has function, and we give it to the doctor
no matter what it looks like on the label. Granted, they would not sell in health food stores
because people try to read labels and they don’t understand them. Instead of reading the
ingredients, they read how many units of something and that throws them off…So high
potency vitamins are similar to drugs in their effect. They cause a masking of symptoms, which
eventually creates additional problems. Dr. Lee used to say that using high potency vitamins
was like whipping a tired horse; he would be stimulated to run faster but sooner or later he
collapses because you never fed him. Sometimes doctors call us for help with patients with
cramps. This could be cramps anywhere in the body – the legs, abdomen, heart, etc. They will
say, “I’ve tried everything I could nutritionally, calcium, magnesium, etc. and the patient still
has cramps.” Then we ask if the patient is taking high potency vitamin E. Many times they are,
and the cramps developed after they started taking the high potency vitamin E. Then, of course,
we suggest the doctor take the patient off the high potency vitamin E product. Our approach is to
give the patient the specific food factors which he’s lacking, along with the associated factors, which
make it work. In the case of angina, we would recommend Cataplex E2. It’s the part of the vitamin E
complex, which preserves calcium in the tissues. A person with angina is usually deficient in this
food factor, so he develops cramps in the muscles of his heart.

where primary “nervousness” is the problem).
Neurological Integrity (As occurring in biliary stasis,
colitis, diarrhea, asthma, insomnia, palsy, etc.).
Symptom Characteristics: Spasticity, hyperirritability, and hypertonicity are the most characteristic findings.
Cholinergic aspects of the autonomic system, myoneural junction disorders and neural control of
gastrointestinal mechanisms (sphincters) are of particular importance.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The following information should be considered:
Vitamin E2, along with Vitamin G Complex, has proved to be clinically effective to angina pectoris.
A wider application of use of Vitamin E2 will include certain types of stomach disorders where there is pain, but a specific
diagnosis is lacking-so-called “pseudo-ulcers” or “nervous indigestion”. Vitamin E2 has the effect of relieving the tension
and pain associated with this clinical problem.
Vitamin E2 may be used in conjunction with any therapy where a tranquilizing effect is desired.
Indications: Angina pectoris, muscle fatigue, tissue oxygen starvation,
aerobic type exercise, high altitude discomfort.
Commentary: Heart and muscle oxygen modulation. This product is a phospholipid, which enhances
oxygen utilization by the body.
John Courtney: This is a special fraction of the vitamin E complex. It is found in beef chromatin material,
which is glandular substance extracted by means of a special process. It is not a patented process, but
we don’t talk about it, so nobody else knows how to do it. It is quite complicated. But this is a food
factor that will stop a heart cramp or a heart pain, usually within about ten minutes. Most cramps are
due to calcium deficiency. However, tissue oxygen starvation is also a factor. Somehow, E2 gets oxygen
into the area to relax the muscle. This can be used to relax any muscle cramp, but it’s especially
effective to relax cramps in the muscles of the heart. Cardio-Plus, which is a multiple product, is part E2
as well. It contains Cataplex G, C and Cardiotrophin PMG. I mentioned that Cataplex G, being a
vasodilator, would be good for a coronary patient. The Cataplex C increases oxygen carrying capacity
of the blood stream while strengthening capillary walls. We added the Cardiotrophin PMG to rebuild the
heart. So Cardio-Plus is for the patient who tends to have high blood pressure and heart cramps. Add E2
and G for the more acute situations, and Cardio-Plus for maintenance support. In his book, “Balancing
Body Chemistry with Nutrition,” Dr Robert Peshek writes of E2, “Its antispasmodic action acts on angina
pectoris much like nitroglycerin tablets.” The patient can keep the nitro, because E2 is preventive,
precluding the need. Dr. Peshek states that angina is as specific a deficiency syndrome (E2) as scurvy
(vitamin C). Dr Lee said that the E2 factor was the first vitamin destroyed in the commercial milling of
flour.

Symptom Characteristics:
The musculature, nervous system,

cardiac indications are looked upon as
being most common indication, the
extent of use should not be restricted
to cardiac involvements as the entire
neuromuscular structure is concerned.
(NOTE: A product named “Myotrophin”
which is the same as “Cardiotrophin” is
supplied where the doctor may desire to
avoid cardiac inference).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Cardio-Plus formula, consisting of Vitamin E2, Vitamin G
Complex and Cardiotrophin, is the result of very favorable clinical
reports received from each of these as related nutritional factors.
We may list its nutritional effects as follows:

Enzymatic tranquilizing effect (cholinesterase precursors of
Vitamin G Complex).

Contributes to muscular tonicity (particularly cardiac muscle).

Provides influential factors generally beneficial to muscle
metabolism and as such contributes to utilization of potassium
and sugar which are needed as “raw materials” for muscular
activity.

The protomorphogen effect of Cardiotrophin contained, acts
to combat excess Natural Tissue Antibodies, and is thus
helpful in most types of degenerative heart disease.
Clinical rationalization for use is suggested as follows:

In general, we may use Cardio-Plus wherever we find muscular
problems as it acts as a potentiater of nutrition to the muscle
cell.

It imparts a tonic effect in most patients, particularly the
geriatric groups.

It increases the activity of muscle metabolism (ordinarily
brought about through exercise) and thus has a beneficial
effect in elevated blood sugar levels.
NOTE: Most diabetics are similarly benefited by exercise.
Indications: High blood pressure, congestive heart failure, angina
pectoris, neuromuscular disorders, hypertension, muscle atonicity,
coronary insufficiency.
Combination of:
Cataplex G
Cataplex E2
Cardiotrophin PMG
Cataplex C
Commentary: Specific for cardiac support, it supports nerve and muscles
and overall cardio-vascular maintenance. Great all natural source of CoEnzyme Q-10. This information would revolutionize cardio/vascular
treatment if taught in medical schools (Product Bulletin and TFM). Of
particular note is the Cataplex E2 (Phospholipid) component of their
product, which conserves tissue oxygen. Used successfully to support the
1991 American Everest Expedition and the 1995 American Karakoram
Expedition, with excellent reports from the Expedition medical doctor and
Expedition leader, relating to hypoxic conditions.

The nutritional effects may be listed as follows:
• Supplies Vitamin C Complex factors for promoting tissue repair and increasing the
oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. b. Supplies specific heart tissue extract beneficial
t muscles.
Rationalization for clinical use is as follows:
• Where heart muscle is unable to meet its demands, being fatigued in its performance,
Vasculin is indicated.
• General fatigue and muscular weakness, particularly if associated with cardiovascular
breakdown, are indications for its need.
Indications: Hypo tension (low blood pressure), arrhythmia, skipped heart beat,
valve regurgitation, fatigue, aerobic type exercise
Combination of:
Cataplex B
Cataplex E
Cardiotrophin PMG
Cataplex C
Commentary: Improves tone of heart tissue and nerve motor conductivity of heart.
Combines Cardiotrophin PMG with Cataplex B and E
John Courtney: Vasculin is a cardiovascular support product for the patient with low blood
pressure, auricular flutter, fibrillations, bundle branch block, etc. It is a multiple product
containing Cardiotropin PMG, Cataplex C, E & B. The Cardiotrophin PMG helps rebuild the
heart tissue, the E strengthens the muscles, and the B improves nerve conductivity. In a
deficiency of the B4 factor, which is found in our Cataplex B, the nerves don’t function
properly, causing problems such as bundle branch blocks and arrhythmia. Cardio-Plus, you
remember, is for the cardiovascular patient with high blood pressure, the coronary type
patient. Cardio-Plus contains Cataplex G, a vasodilator, to relax the patient. Like Vasculin,
Cardio-Plus also contains Cardiotrophin PMG and Cataplex C and E. So Vasculin and
Cardio-Plus are used for patients with opposite needs.

60 are abdominally obese.
Diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome:
Dx of metabolic syndrome is when 3 of the following 5
criteria are met:
o Abdominal obesity (men >40 in., women >35 in.)
o Fasting glucose >110 to 126
o BP > 130/80
o Triglycerides >150
o HDL (men <40, women <50)
The risk of having metabolic syndrome is closely linked to a high
carbohydrate diet and a lack of physical activity.

Sugar Handling dysfunction leads to endocrine
dysfunction. Trying to balance an endocrine system
without addressing an underlying sugar handling
problem is like a dog chasing his tail.

Symptoms:
Possible Etiological Background:
•
•
Insufficiency of adreno-sympathetic system.
•
•
Resistance factor, disturbance in histamineadrenaline metabolism due to adrenal insufficiency.
Adreno-Sympathetic reaction.
•
•
Trophic relation with pancreas and liver.
Histamine-adrenaline imbalance.
•
Elevated serum potassium, found in advanced
hypoadrenia.
Reaction indicating need of sodium to compensate
for excess potassium.
Probably concerned with defense and other
mechanisms, the stress syndrome.

Nervous Complaint (Chronic fatigue,
“nervousness”, tachycardia and other symptoms)
Respiratory Disorders (Asthma, sinusitis, colds,
pneumonia, coughs, etc.)
Vaso-Motor Disturbances (Hypo/hyper-tension,
circulatory symptoms)
Blood Sugar Disturbances (Hypo-/hypertension)
Allergic Reactions (Hives, dermatitis, sneezing
attacks, frequent colds)
Reactions to Potassium Foods (Molasses, veal,
vegetable juices, olives, etc.)
Abnormal Craving for Salt (Table salt)
Lowered Resistance (Coughs, weakness residual
effects of illness)

•
Failure to show rise of systolic pressure on rising (standing position).
Inability to tolerate potassium-rich foods (advanced states only).
Weight loss, bronzing of skin.
Fibrillation (with hypotension). Tachycardia (with hypertension).
High second sounds over mitral area.
The adrenal glands enter into a variety of physiological effects and are known to be concerned with the
following mechanisms:
a.
Resistance
d. Histamine-adrenalin regulation
b.
Detoxification
e. Glucose-glycogen metabolism
c.
Mineralization
f. Vaso-motor regulation
(Sodium-Potassium-Chloride)
The adrenal glands are particularly associated with the following types of diseases:
a.
Respiratory diseases
b.
Allergic reactions
c.
Inflammatory diseases
d.
Neuresthenic diseases
(Particularly Rheumatoid Arthritis)
e.
(Neurocirculatory asthenia)
Blood pressure aberrations
The adrenals--“the stress glands”—have been shown to be the first of the endocrine axis to fail under
various conditions of stress, such as burns, poisons and other toxic manifestations—as well as being
susceptible to failure from protracted stress and strain of “ordinary” everyday activities. Conclusive
evidence was offered by McCarrison to show that the adrenals were also the first to fail under the stress of
malnutrition. Interestingly, our experience shows the adrenals to be the first to respond to nutritional
therapy.
NOTE: Management of the adrenal patient depends upon an understanding of the physiological mechanisms involved.
See “Applied Physiology of the Adrenal Glands” (free on request) for complete discussion of the clinical aspects.
