		<description><![CDATA[The 5 most common nutritional deficiencies I see in my Orange, chiropractic and holistic practice are: Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Omega 3 Fatty Acids (ALA, EPA and DHA).]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;These are the most common nutritional deficiencies I see in my <a title="Orange Chiropractic and Integrative Medicine" href="http://www.advancedhealing.com" target="_blank">Orange, chiropractic and integrative medicine </a>practice: <a title="Magnesium" href="http://www.mgwater.com/" target="_blank">Magnesium</a>, Zinc, <a title="Vitamin D Council" href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/" target="_blank">Vitamin D</a>, Vitamin E, Omega 3 Fatty Acids (ALA, EPA, DHA) and <a title="Radiation Exposure Risk for California, Iodine and Potassium Iodide" href="http://www.advancedhealing.com/blog/2011/03/28/radiation-exposure-risk-for-california-iodine-and-potassium-iodide/" target="_blank">Iodine (potassium Iodide)</a>. I personally feel that these deficiencies are not just representative of my local area but are a glimpse of what the world, in general, is experiencing. Below is a brief summary for each nutrient. I have come to this conclusion based on dietary analysis, clinical observation/correlation, blood and urine tests.&#8221; Marcus Ettinger BSc, DC</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80" title="foods" src="http://www.advancedhealing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/foods.jpg" alt="foods" width="576" height="378" /></p>

<h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>1.  Magnesium</strong></span></h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Deficiency:</strong> 8 out of 10 clients show clinical signs of magnesium deficiency.  The average American diet only contains 50% to 60% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).  According to <a title="Guosong Liu" href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100127121524.htm" target="_blank">Dr. Guosong Liu</a>, half the population of industrialized countries have a magnesium deficit, which increases with aging.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>2.  Zinc</strong></span></h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Deficiency:</strong> 7 out of 10 clients show clinical signs of deficiency.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Symptoms:</strong> Acne, <a title="A History of Hyperactivity and Behavioral Problems" href="http://www.advancedhealing.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=23&amp;Itemid=5" target="_blank">ADD/ADHD</a>, brittle nails, delayed sexual maturity, depression/apathy, diarrhea, <a title="Eczema" href="http://www.advancedhealing.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=30&amp;Itemid=5" target="_blank">eczema</a>, fatigue, growth impairment, hair loss, high cholesterol levels, immune impairment, impotence, irritability, lethargy, loss of appetite, loss of sense of taste, <a title="Low Stomach Acid (HCl)" href="http://www.advancedhealing.com/blog/2009/09/13/heartburn-gastritis-gerd-achlorhydria-or-h-pylori/" target="_blank">low stomach acid (HCl)</a>, male infertility/abnormal sperm, memory impairment, night blindness, paranoia, white spots on nails, poor wound healing, psoriasis&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Recommended Foods:</strong> Calf&#8217;s liver, beef, mushrooms, spinach, green peas and pumpkin seeds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Recommended Nutritional Supplements:</strong> <a title="Zinc and immune function: the biological basis of altered resistance to infection" href="http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/reprint/68/2/447S.pdf" target="_blank">Zinc</a> Glycinate (50 &#8211; 100mg&#8217;s per day). Take with food, as zinc supplementation may cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach.<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>3.  Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)</strong></span></h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Deficiency:</strong> 10 out of 10 clients show deficiency (99.8% of all of my Labcorp, client blood tests have shown deficiency).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Symptoms: </strong>Allergies, auto immune diseases, burning sensation in mouth, cancer, diarrhea, insomnia, myopia, nervousness, osteoporosis, poor calcium utilization, rickets, scalp sweating, weight gain&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Recommended Foods:</strong> Cod liver oil, shrimp and eggs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Recommended Nutritional Supplements:</strong> BEST VITAMIN D3 (cholecalciferol) PRODUCT: Liquid Vitamin D Forte by Biotics Research ($20  for 700+ drops. Each drop = 2,000 IU&#8217;s). Recommended dosage of emulsified Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) -  (6,000 &#8211; 10,000 IU&#8217;s per day for adults and 2,000 IU&#8217;s for children above the age of five).  Skin exposure to the sun, 15 minutes per day, is another great way to get adequate Vitamin D exposure.  <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Note:</span></strong> living in southern California, I only take my Vitamin D3 during the months of October through the beginning of June. I surf a lot, and as soon as my wetsuit comes off and I can get 15 minutes+ of direct sunlight, I no longer need the supplement form. In fact, if I kept taking it, I would sunburn within 15 minutes. This is what your body does when the vitamin D3 level is maxed-out.<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>4.  Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol)</strong></span></h1>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>R</strong><strong>ecommended Foods:</strong> Green leafy vegetables (Mustard greens, chard, spinach and turnip greens), almonds and sunflower seeds.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>5. Omega 3 Fatty Acids (ALA, EPA, DHA)</strong></span></h1>

Eating <a title="Farm raised salmon vs wild salmon" href="Farm Raised Salmon vs Wild Salmon" target="_blank">farm raised salmon vs wild salmon</a> increases your risk of being exposed to PCB&#8217;s, dioxin and other toxic pollutants. Farm raised salmon is colored with artificial color and lacks the omega 3 fatty acids of wild caught salmon).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></strong></span>Shellfish is variable, but some typical amounts of iodine are: Prawns (21mcg/100 g), (60mcg/100 g), Mussels (140mcg/100 g), Lobster (100mcg/100 g), Shrimp (100mcg/100 g).<span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"> For a complete list, pleas go to </span><span style="color: #000000;"><a title="Iodine in Food" href="http://iodine4health.com/research/iodine_in_food_table.htm" target="_blank">Iodine in Food.</a></span></span></p>
