              VITAMINS & THEIR USES
              --------------------- 
The following list represents several months of reading and general
research into the topic of improved health thru prevenative vitamin
intake. The sources are numerous, but a large part comes from several
books on Herbology, Medications & vitamins by Richard Alan Miller. I
present this as a personal collection of notes and not as an
authoratative medical paper.

                    *)-----Greyraven-----(*

A : Protective against sterility. Works hand-in-hand with E. Also used
             to treat prostate and menstrual disorders.

B 1 (Thiamine) : deficiencies of this can result in nervous
             manifestations and mood swings, fatigue, depression,
             anxiety and apathy.

B 2 (Riboflavin) necessary for healthy skin, and avoiding depression.
             Found in green vegetables, milk, eggs & wheat germ.

B 3 (Niacin) early signs of its depletion is the loss of a sense of
             humor. Cleans the bloodstream of poisons, carbohydrate
             buildup etc. Has been used to reduce the effects on the
             circulatory system from smoking. Note that for a day or
             two after taking this alcohol tolerance level is reduced
             drastically so that very small quantities can produce
             lightheadedness etc. Niacin can also produce shortly
             after taking a 'flush' effect on the skin and overheating
             so use in small doseages at a time only.

B 5 (Pantothenic Acid) Fortifies white blood cells and avoidence of
             hair greying.

B 6 (Pyridoxine) promotes healthy teeth, gums & skin; assists in the
             manufacture of hemoglobin & certain hormones.  It also
             prevents excess fluid retention, especially in females.

B 12 (Cyanocobalamin) essential for formation of red blood
             cells. Found only in eggs, liver, kidneys, beef, milk,
             spiraalina & brewers yeast.

B 17 (amygdalin or laetrile) may be effective against certain types of
             cancer; is an effective contraceptive for women. Papaya
             seeds and apricot kernels are the main sources for
             it. (To use as a contraceptive large quantities are needed).

C (Ascorbic Acid) besides that which is generally known, some recent
             studies published in medical journals have shown that
             maintaining high levels of vitamin C can reduce the
             possibility of contracting AIDS if exposed. (These
             studies are not yet confirmed by the FDA or AMA and are
             thus considered ongoing research).

Folic Acid (folacin) helps to produce antibodies vs infection and
             maintains the functions in the lower intestinal tract.

E (Mixed Tocopherols) positively influences the production of male sex
             hormones and help breaks up arterial cholesterol. 400 to
             1600 units daily is the safe doseage. women on oral
             contraceptives require high supplements of vitamin E and
             Folic acid.

Lecithin : must be replaced after male orgasm; increases the quality &
           Quantity of sperm. Found in vegetable oil, unroasted nuts &
           eggs.

Zinc : important for prostate gland health and the reproductive
       system.

sources and studies. Use them as you will.
