ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors wish to thank Sarah Rodgers, Phyllis Loften and Marie Arcaro for excellent typing and secretar­ ial assistance in the preparation of this book. They never exclaimed, "What—another revision?" The authors also wish to thank Keith Jordan for The Easy Alpha Test. This book is dedicated to the many patients who had sufficient faith in a new approach to the schizophrenias to tolerate the several ups and downs in their mental health as we slowly determined biochemical causes. We also appreciate the devotion of our underpaid professional staff who are motivated to continue because the patients' health and even their personal health is improved by the nutri­ tional approach. Special thanks must be given to Professor Roger Williams and Donald R. Davis, Ph.D., who allowed Lianne Audette and Norma Rahn to make the colored charts of their cartwheel graphs depicting nutrients in food and diets (see back cover). iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface by A.

Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D. Schizophrenia is a syndrome, not a single disease. It is a collection of diseases characterized by two main sets of symptoms and signs: perceptual and thinking disor­ ders. Carl Pfeiffer and his colleagues properly emphasize the plurality by use of The Schizophrenias. This conclu­ sion is accepted by orthomolecular psychiatrists who base treatment using this concept, and by most research psy­ chiatrists even when they insist on treating them all with similar tranquilizers. For a new approach to the schizo­ phrenias we must credit the senior author of this book. The term schizophrenia was first used by Eugene Bleuler about eighty years ago. He classified the group of schizophrenias behaviorally into clinical or psychological types like paranoid, catatonia, etc. This classification has little interest today for it does not matter whether they are called paranoid or simple—the drug treatment is always the same. A second classification has been one by default. If the schizophrenia was cured by specific treatment it was reclassified as a neurological disease. In 1900, the four main schizophrenias were general paresis of the insane (GPI), scurvy, pellagra and dementia praecox. Penicillin cured GPI and paretics were rediagnosed as a neurological syndrome. Diet and vitamin B-3 cured pellagra and these schizophrenics were rediagnosed then as pellagrins. Scorbutic psychoses vanished as did scurvy and dementia praecox was replaced by schizophrenia. The only schizo­ phrenics that psychiatrists continued to treat were the ones with no cause and no specific treatment. Psychiatrists should have realized that if so many schizophrenics were caused by biochemical abnormali­ ties, more would be found. But attempts to discover other ix PREFACE causes of schizophrenia failed because so much effort was wasted trying to relate simple biochemical findings to the Bleulerian sub-types. Additional effective specific treat­ ments were needed. This was given a great impetus when Dr. Humphrey Osmond and I showed that acute schizo­ phrenic patients were much better off when treated with optimum doses of Vitamin B-3. This demonstrated for the first time that we had another group—those responsive to Vitamin B-3. Orthodox psychiatrists continued in vain to search for a single causative factor (and still do) which might show a connection to the real schizophrenia. Orthomo¬ lecular psychiatrists began to use biochemical abnormali­ ties to identify schizophrenic biotypes. Instead of using factor A to characterize all schizophrenics, we began to ask how do all patients with factor A differ from patients without factor A. This would then point to a specific biochemical treatment. Our leading pioneer in this scientific way of diag­ nosing and treating the schizophrenias is Carl C. Pfeiffer, assisted by his excellent team of Brain Bio Center associ­ ates and his colleagues. Carl Pfeiffer and associates divided the schizophrenias into a number of subtypes based upon biochemical findings and accurate clinical observations. These diagnostic groups have a reality never before attainable. They are described in this book. Not only are they diagnostically homogeneous, but they can be treated rationally, i.e. treatment is determined by the biochemical diagnosis. The word schizophrenia is bad. It frightens patients and their families. It gives others the wrong impression about the disease, and it is misused by writers and politi­ cians who believe it means being changeable or even two- faced and they use the word schizophrenia to insult each other. A rational biochemical diagnostic system will help us get rid of the schizophrenias. It will be replaced by x PREFACE rational terms such as pyroluria, histadelia, histapenia, cerebral allergy, and so on. All these syndromes which cause bizarre mental quirks are described in this book. This impressive volume contains the observations and theories about the schizophrenias gathered by Carl Pfeiffer and colleagues over more than twenty years. I have heard Dr. Pfeiffer lecture dozens

Dron DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History of Health. Sciences in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. SAN FRANCISCO Copyright 2016 by Heather Armstrong Dron ii Acknowledgements Portions of Chapter 1 were published in an edited volume prepared by the Western Humanities Review in 2015. iii Abstract This dissertation traces the academic institutionalization and evolving concerns of teratologists, who studied environmental causes of birth defects in midcentury America. The Teratology Society officially formed in 1960, with funds and organizational support from philanthropies such as the National Foundation (Later known as The March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation). Teratologists, including Virginia Apgar, the well-known obstetric anesthesiologist and inventor of the Apgar Score, were soon embroiled in public concerns about pharmaceutically mediated birth defects. Teratologists acted as consultants to industry and government on pre-market reproductive toxicology testing for pharmaceuticals. However, animal tests seemed unable to clearly predict results in humans and required careful interpretation of dosage and animal species and strain responses. By the late 1960s, amidst the popular environmental movement, teratologists grappled with public claims that birth defects resulted from exposure to industrial pollutants in water or air, or from food additives, pesticides, and industrial waste or effluent. In a crowded field of professionals concerned with pharmaceutical or chemical exposures during pregnancy, teratologists proved adaptive and resilient. Despite influences from the environmental movement, teratologists at times tried to contain the substances and outcomes considered relevant and called for greater vetting of chemical claims, amidst rampant journalistic and public accusations about iatrogenic or industrial harm.

  • Food: Breakfast July/August 2016
    Food: Breakfast July/August 2016 by Cindy Hazen INSIDER’s Take • Although busy families are looking for quick breakfast options that are convenient and portable, they also want nutritional value. • Eggs deliver more than 20 functional benefits to food formulations while retaining their taste and nutritional characteristics. • Consumers are drawn to ingredients such as protein, probiotics, fiber, vegetables and grains—as well as products with reduced sugar. "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper." This advice from author and nutritionist, Adelle Davis, spoke to a generation. While our culture has changed since the 1954 publication of her book “Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit,” some things remain the same. Today’s families are rushed. They rarely sit down together for breakfast, save for on an occasional weekend. Grab-and-go is the weekday norm for busy lifestyles. Convenience and portability are important attributes for a host of products ranging from yogurts, to bars, breakfast sandwiches, toaster pastries, bowls and single-serve cereals. But hurried or not, consumers still want nutritious foods. Protein Rules The trend toward increased protein consumption continues across demographics and meal occasions. As more Americans work to keep fit, they recognize protein’s role in workout recovery and muscle development. Baby Boomers look to protein to help them retain muscle mass and functional ability as they age. And studies continue to link protein with weight management because of its satiating ability. Satiety is tied to energy. Protein gives slow burning energy, the type to fuel a farmer for a day in the fields.

Labor and employment prac - tices by agribusiness, health problems related to pesticides [ap - plied] by farm labor, and the security of the small family farmer are related issues. If corporate farms continue their takeover of our food supply, then these businesses and their giant trading corporate partners can set the price of basic food commodities, dictate the wages and working conditions of farmworkers, and put family farms out of business through the consolidation of landholdings and economies of scale. Pol - luting farming practices and poor labor conditions are cheaper and are more likely to occur if corporations are allowed to continue taking over our food production. Preserving the fam - ily and small-scale farm that can employ alternative methods and that can produce food for local consumption ensures food safety and is more environmentally sound than industrialized farming methods, and the organic industry is made up of pri - marily small-sized producers. We have not fully addressed the issues of sustainability within the growing organic industry, but that question may become moot if these laws [the first set of organic rules proposed by the USDA in 1997] are passed. Lower standards will allow for a greater takeover of organic farming by agribusiness and put the small producer out of work and off the land. Claire Cummings, commentator on food and farming on KPFA radio I feel that the motivation of the people growing this way coin - cides with my concerns about the health of the planet.

If we are going to reduce crime and violence in our city, we must support our reentry population in a substantive and comprehensive way. I am pleased that we have made significant progress in this effort. In the last two years, we have: • Hired a reentry specialist who facilitates a bi-weekly orientation on how to access City of Oakland jobs and other resources • Banned the box on our city applications • Partnered with state and local correctional facilities to better prepare the reentry population • Collaborated with Alameda County to identify jobs in Oakland and the surrounding communities This reentry resource guide builds upon the work done so far. It includes information about educational, employment and housing opportunities, so that our men and women reentering Oakland from correctional facilities have a road map to success. I encourage you to take advantage of the recommendations contained in this guide. Our fight cannot end here. We must continue to give the re-entry population a sense of dignity and we must make a collaborative effort to aide those who are making a gallant attempt to rebuild their lives. If you would like more information on the City of Oakland’s Prison Reentry Program, call Isaac Taggart at (510) 238-6905, or our Public Safety Coordinator Dorlista Reed at (510) 238-7535.
