Re: How do pistachios help with glare?

Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) advised …

“A must have Z. Eat pistachios for morning glare, sunflower seeds for day vision, and carrots for night vision.”

Vitamin A is chelated zinc, according to Adano.

Lutein is the predominant carotenoid in a pistachio.

The color YELLOW protects the eye from glare and blue light.

Lutein derives from the Latin word luteus, meaning “yellow.”

Lutein is a xanthophyll, a carotenoid containing oxygen. (Carotenes don’t contain oxygen.)

Xanthos is Greek for “yellow.”

Pistachios work best to protect against glare when eaten at …

Liver Time (1:00-3:00 a.m.) and

Stomach Time (7:00-9:00 a.m.)

Eating pistachios (and nothing else) at Liver Time protects against acute glare problems, e.g., oncoming headlights while driving all night, facing a sunrise after driving all night, etc.

Eating pistachios at Stomach Time protects against chronic glare problems, especially when combined with figs, carob, and olive oil.

Here are a few more thoughts about vitamin A …

Synthetic vitamin A is more likely to exhibit oxidant activity, while the vitamin A in food is more likely to exhibit antioxidant activity.

I’m deliberately using “more likely” and “activity” because “oxidant” and “antioxidant” are relative behavioral functions, not structural chemical properties.

The nouns “oxidant” and “antioxidant” are the mealy-mouthed fabrications of the supplement industry

Hide you wallet or purse the minute you hear either word, especially the word “antioxidant.”

Vitamin A and zinc can be regulated by doing reflexology on the thumb.

According to Adano, vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, are respective chelates of zinc, chromium, iron, calcium, and selenium.

They are also respectively associated with the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger.

Emanuel Revici, M.D., hierarchically associated these five elements with the cellular level of the body, the monocellular cytoplasmic formations, represented by the fourth period of the Periodic Table of the Elements.

Chelated cobalt, otherwise known as vitamin B-12, is also associated with the fourth period, according to Dr. Revici.

He classified vitamin A as catabolic and alkalizing, although this vitamin has no effect on the pH of normal tissue, only abnormal lesions.

Abnormal lesions include acidic ones (tumors) and alkaline ones (ulcers).

There are exceptions to this rule just like any other rule in the universe.

Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw (Life Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach, 1982) wrote …

“In order for vitamin A to be transported from the liver and other stores to the rest of the body, zinc is required.”

Traditional Chinese Medicine associates eyesight with the liver, and that’s a partial truth.

Richard A. Passwater, Trace Elements, Hair Analysis and Nutrition, 1983 …

“Zinc deficiency leads to low levels of vitamin A due to the impaired ability to mobilize vitamin A from the liver in the form of vitamin A-retinol-binding protein complex.”

    Hi Atom,

    Can you please recommend a book that would be good to understand the basics of chemistry, the periodic table of elements, etc?

    I am reading “The Mighty Atom…”, and it is great! Also I am enjoying Guyton & Hall Medical Physiology. Thank you for the great recommendations.

    Thank you.

      Three books of Isaac Asimov come to mind.

      All three are dated and simplistic, but are excellent and readable introductions to the Periodic Table …

      The World of Carbon, 1958

      The World of Nitrogen, 1958

      The Noble Gases, 1966
