Energy Enhancers
ENERGY ENHANCERS
Source: Reiki Newsletter, 12/07
To function optimally in this whirlwind world, you may need some help from supplements...all are
available in heath-food stores.
Alpha-lipoic acid
This nutrient increases levels of STP (adenosine triphosphate) the chemical form of
energy in the body's cells. Research on people with congential defects in energy
production have confirmed its anti-fatigue effects. Food Sources: beef and spinach.
Dosage: 50-300mg daily
B-complex
Many of the B vitamins help burn food for energy. When their levels are low, energy
production may be impaired. Food Sources: Dark leafy green vegetables, eggs, red
meats, poultry, nuts, brown rice. Dosage: B-complex supplement containing at least 25
mg of the major B vitamins.
Carnitine
This nutrient helps burn fat for energy. A study of 28 patients with CFS found that
carnitine supplements benefited nearly all of them after just 2 months. Food Sources:
beef and dark chicken. Dosage: 2000-3000mg daily.
Coenzyme Q10
Like carnitine, CoQ10 is essential for ATP production. In a recent study, it was found
that CoQ10 increased energy levels in octogenarians. Food Sources: beef particularly
organ meats. Dosage: 100-300mg daily.
Lysine
This amino acid inhibits viral activity, which is important becasue infection with Epstein-
Barr is commonly involved in CFS. Food Sources: Chicken, fish, eggs, red meat Dosage:
500- 1000mg daily.
Milk Thistle
The herb and its silymarin extract improe liver function, which in turn assists the body in
coping with stress. In one study using silymarin in people with hepatiitis C, as their liver
function improved, their fatigue lessened. Food Sources: none Dosage: varies among
products so follow label directions.
NADH
Short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide with an extra hydrogen molecule. NADH was
shown to boost energy levels in a Georgetown University Medical School study of 26
patients with CFS. Food SOurces: Red meat. Dosage 5-20mg daily.
Vitamin C
A recent study found that about 30% of apparently healthy patients lacked adequate
vitamin C, a condition that can result in fatigue and lowered immunity. Food SOurces:
citrus fruits, berries, broccoli, and cauliflower. Dosage: 1000mg or more daily
ZInc
Zinc competes against copper, an esential nutrient that in excess can casue fatigue.
Avoid cookwar, water piper (in old houses) and intrauterine birth control devices (IUD's )
made with copper. Food Sources: poultry, red and game meats, eggs, pumpkin seeds.
Dosage: 25mg daily.

9. Tips & Tidbits:
60 Ways to Heal Your Life… From Lynda Field’s book
Each month one of Lynda’s suggestion is included:
Suggestion 23: Believe That You Deserve the Best
I have met many people who have been using positive affirmations and creative
visualization techniques who say that they have reached a point when they feel
"stuck" and that the affirmations just don't seem to be working any more. If this happens
to you, always look at your beliefs about desirability. If you don't believe that you
deserve the best then you will not allow good things into your life.
EXERCISE: DESERVING
1. What do you deserve?
Do you think that your deserve to fulfil your dreams?
Do you deserve the best that life has to offer?
Do you believe that you don't deserve very much or, in fact, that you deserve nothing
at all?
2. Why are you a deserving person? or Why are you not a deserving person?
Answer the question you think applies to you.
Examine closely your beliefs about what you think you deserve. Where have these
beliefs come from? What did your parents say about what your deserved? Did you
deserve a clip around the ear or a good telling off? what did your parents think that they
deserved? Did they feel that they deserved the good things in life? Perhaps they
were disappointed by life; maybe they felt that they didn't get what they deserved. Think
about all the "deserving" messages you may have received, whether spoken to you or
picked up in more subtle ways.
AFFIRMATION: I deserve the best in life.
Repeat this affirmation over and over. Say it in the car, sing it in the shower, look in the
mirror and say it. Say it enough times and it will start to take the place of any non-
deserving messages you may have circling around your mind. Believe that you deserve
the best and you will get it!
