Animal minerals

One of the most active areas of research on foods in the last few years has been the investigation of factors that effect human and animal mineral utilization from plant foods. 

Anthroposophists also take a unique approach to medicine. The body, they say, has three poles — cool, warm, and balancing. Illness arises from a disharmony of these poles, and we can restore the harmony with a variety of animal, mineral, and plant substances. We must take the time of day and planet constellations into consideration as we prepare these remedies, and we must never work on them between noon and three o clock in the afternoon because this is the least alive time of day. Anthroposophists frown upon vaccinations, but they approve of color therapy and a mistletoe preparation invented by Steiner. Sauerkraut they regard as a special food we require it for the health of our digestive tracts. 

Drags used in Homeopathy have their sources from plants, animals, minerals, diseased parts of man and irradiated aqueous ethanol. The ethanol extract of a drag is mixed with aqueous ethanol, usually 90% in the proportion of 1 99 or 1 9 and the mixture is shaken by 10 powerful downward strokes to prepare the first centesimal or decimal potency. Subsequent potencies are prepared by further dilution of the 1st... 

USA. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD C) Act provides that foods, drugs, cosmetics, and some medical devices are adulterated if they contain color additives that have not been proved safe to the satisfaction of the Food and Drug Administration for the particular use. A color additive is a dye, pigment, or other substance, whether synthetic or derived from a vegetable, animal, mineral, or other source, which imparts a color when added or applied to a food, drug, cosmetic, or the human body. 

Oil An unctuous, combustible substance which is liquid, or easily liquefiable, on warming, and is soluble in ether but insoluble in water. Such substances, depending on their origin, are classified as animal, mineral, or vegetable oils. 

UNIVERSAL MEDICINE — Substances which contribute to the prolongation of life. The best among these are quintessences, extracted from animals, minerals, and vegetables. The perfection of these quintessences consists in their preparation. So much does this vary that it would sometimes seem almost impossible that these essences are extracted from one and the same principle. 

Civil War pharmacy can be understood in two primary contexts first, what historians have said about it, and second, the historical milieu in which it took place. With regard to the former something should be said because the issue of pharmaceutical care has received some attention from historians and a modest literature has developed. More important, however, is the fact that nineteenth-century pharmacy and medicine—inseparably linked by ages of theory and practice—existed in a very different world from today. Pharmacy did not, as did Athena, spring forth from the head of Zeus. By 1861 pharmacy had hoary traditions bom of nature s animal, mineral, and plant kingdoms that grew to compose its time-honored materia medica. 

One might note that food tables are not extremely accurate. The lev els of specific nutrients can vary by several-fold, depending on methods for storage and cooking of food, plant variety, breed of farm animal, minerals in the soil used to grow the plant fol, and method of nutrient analysis. 

The areas of pharmacopeial standards most frequently cited at those meetings as in need of harmonization were pharmaceutical excipients and analytical tests and assays. Excipients posed the greatest barrier to commerce as a result of a patchwork of standards in the USP, EP, and JP for a small universe of substances and many natural products of animal, mineral, and vegetable origin that are shared throughout the world. Standards for these common substances reflect cultural, scientific, and temporal differences in how... 

Dyes are used primarily to impart color in textile, leather, paints, cosmetic, and food industries. Many natural dyes (animal, mineral, or vegetal extracts) have been largely replaced by synthetic dyes that were developed at the end of the nineteenth century. Dyes should be safe, with no toxicity, carcinogenicity, or...

Human diet requires proteins (milk, eggs, fish, and some vegetables), carbohydrates (plants), fats (oils) from both plants and animals, minerals from milk and meats, salt (chloride), vitamins from green vegetables and citrus fruits, and water. Micronutrients are furnished by seafood, cereals, vegetables, and fruit. 

Waxes—Any of a class of pliable substances of plant, animal, mineral, or synthetic origin. Waxes are the larger saturate compounds that make up oil. They consist of long-chain organic compounds. Waxes are included in the residue formed after the refining of crude oil. (See also Paraffin, Saturate group.)...
