DESCRIPTION: Nutritional deficiencies have increased in frequency worldwide. Even the most industrialized countries in the world are seeing more cases of deficiency in vitamins, minerals, proteins, electrolytes and other essential elements in their populations. Some of these have reached near-epidemic proportions, even in the USA (i.e. Vitamin D Deficiency). In this book I address some of the more common types of deficiencies and the treatments that are administered to resolve them. Also included is a comprehensive list of essential nutrients and the symptoms that occur with deficiencies of these and the causes of them. NOTE: This book is approximately 7,281 words in length. It is not an extensive medical journal but rather contains aspects of information on the subject that most laypersons would be seeking.
