Substitute
 a plant that is an acceptable replacement for another herb (See:Adulterant.) Sudorifics
 help cause active or droplet perspiration. Stimulate production and
secretion of perspiration. Sugars
 (simple) sugar in its simplest form biologically. Sugars
 (complex) two or more simple sugar molecules bonded together (e.g.,
maltose, dextrose, sucrose, etc.). Superior
 above. Sympathetic Nervous System
 part of the autonomic nervous system that
tends to act as an accelerator for those organs needed to meet a stressful
situation. The sympathetic division dominates during stressful situations, such
as anger or fright, and the body responses contribute to fight or flight, with
unimportant activities such as digestion markedly slowed. Most sympathetic
neurons release the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Syndrome
 a group of signs and symptoms that occur together in a pattern
characteristic of a particular “disease” or abnormal condition related to a
specific effect. Synergistic
 the simultaneous action of two or more substances whose
combined effect is greater than the sum of each working alone. Systems of the Human Body
 fourteen in all; nine major systems. They are:
Circulatory, Digestive, Eliminative (Intestinal, Lymphatic, Urinary,
Integumentary, and Immune), Glandular, Muscular, Nervous, Reproductive,
Respiratory, and Skeletal. Systemic
 relating to or affecting the entire body. Systolic
 the period of greatest pressure in the arterial vascular system affected
directly by the adrenal medula and neuro-transmitter release. Taeniafuges and Taeniacides
 herbs that expel (taeniafuges) or kill
(taeniacides) tapeworms in the intestinal tract (Castor Oil, Cucumber Seeds,
Male Fern, Pumpkin Seeds). Tannins
 substances in plants that possess astringent properties. Tannins bind
and act upon various chemicals and proteins to form protection to the skin
and mucus membranes. Tannins are known to help reduce diarrhea, internal
bleeding, reduce inflammation, burns, and stimulate the healing of wounds. Tannins act with infectious conditions. Tapeworm
 any of several ribbon-like worms that infest the intestines ofinvertebrates, including humans. They can grow to 20-30 feet long. T-Cells
 white blood cells that facilitate the immune system. They start out as
B-cells, travel to the thymus gland and mature into T-cells. T-cells reflect
conditional immune response. Testes
 located in the male scrotum. A gender-specific endocrine gland for
development of sex characteristics; some effects on growth. Testosterone
 an androgen found in the testes. Testosterone is an aggressive,
steroid-type hormone produced in the adrenal cortex of both men and
women; responsible for sperm production and secondary sex characteristics
in males. Tetters
 skin disease with pimples or blisters such as herpes, ringworm, or
eczema. Thyroid Gland
 largest of the endocrine glands; located in the neck. This
gland produces hormones, principally thyroxin. A hormone called calcitonin
is also produced in the thyroid and is vital in calcium utilization. The main
function of the thyroid hormones is to regulate metabolism for the production
of heat and energy in the body tissues. When enlarged, the thyroid gland is
called a goiter. The thyroid increases metabolic rate and indirectly influences
growth and nutrition. Thymus
 organ located above the heart, mid sternum; important in the
development of the immune response. It is essential to the maturation of T-
cells. Tincture
 a preparation made by soaking (macerating) an herb in a specified
amount of grain alcohol to extract its properties. Tinea capitis
 fungal skin disease of the scalp. Tinnitus
 ringing or tinkling sound in the ear. Tonics
 stimulate nutrition and increase systemal tone, energy and vigor. Enhances the entire system (Angelica, Centaury, Boneset, German
Chamomile, Red Clover, Sanicle, Self-Heal, Stinging Nettle, Yarrow). Toxemia
 1. a toxic condition of the body arising from the consumption of
meats, dairy products, refined sugars, candies, soda pops, grains, chemical
medications, vaccinations, drugs, etc. Smoking tobacco and/or marijuana also
add to systemic toxicity; 2. a condition of acidosis. Toxicity
 the quality of being poisonous. Toxicity reactions in the body
impair bodily functions and/or damage cells, thereby impairing health. (Alsosee:
 Toxemia.) Toxin
 a poisonous substance of an animal or plant origin. Trace Elements
 minerals required by the body in very small amounts. Triglyceride
 a compound consisting of three fatty acids plus glycerol. They
are the form in 
which fat is stored in the body, and are the primary type of
lipid in the diet. These stored fats are used for additional energy if needed by
the body. They act like batteries, storing energy until needed. Unsaturated Fat
 any dietary fat that is liquid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats come from vegetable sources and are good sources of
essential fatty acids. (Flaxseed oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and evening
primrose oil.) Uric Acid
 a waste product of the metabolism of proteins. The kidneys
eliminate uric acid from the body. High protein consumption and obstructed
kidneys lead to conditions such as gout (acidosis), etc. Uremia
 1. toxic condition associated with renal insufficiency produced by
the retention in the blood of nitrogenous substances normally excreted by the
kidneys. 2. reflections of high protein consumption or the breakdown of
tissue. Utilization
 the ability of the body to use a nutrient or fuel. Most utilization
depends on hormones, steroids, or neurotransmitters. Consumption and
absorption is not utilization. Vasoconstrictor
 an agent that narrows blood-vessel openings, restricting the
flow of blood through them. Vasodepressant/Vasodilator
 lowers blood pressure by dilation (widening)
of blood vessels. Vermicides
 herbs that kill intestinal worms. Vermifuge
 herbs which cause the expulsion of or repels intestinal worms and
tapeworms. Vesicants
 agents that causes blistering, such as poison ivy, oak or sumac. Villi
 the short filamentous process found on certain membranous surfaces
that act as filtering mechanisms (found in the lungs, intestines, etc.). Vitality
 1. that which distinguishes living things from the nonliving. 2.
animation, action. 3. state of being alive. 4. a state of dynamic health. Vitamin
 any of a group of organic substances other than proteins,carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and organic salts which are essential for normal
metabolism, growth, and development of the body. Volatile Oils
 aromatic oils used as essential oils therapeutically or in
perfumes. Volatile oils have been used for centuries. Antiseptics; help
stimulate the production of white blood cells. Causes digestive juice increase;
said to relax overactive peristalsis. They are also known to have an affect on
the central nervous system (sedate or stimulate). Volatile oil compounds are
made from simple to complex molecules including isoprene, isopentane and
terpenes. Voluntary (skeletal) Muscle System
 muscles in the body that respond to
conscious control from the brain, i.e., the muscles contract or lengthen,
depending on the chemical messages they receive from the brain. These
muscles usually look striated or striped when viewed under a microscope. They are attached to the bones by tendons. Vulnerary
 assists in healing of wounds by protecting against infection and
stimulating cell growth (Agrimony, Balm of Gilead, Bladderwrack, Cleavers,
Comfrey, Elder, Rue). White Blood Cell
 a blood cell that functions in fighting infection and in
wound repair. Better known as immune cells, of which there are many types. Yeast
 a type of single-celled fungus. Certain types of yeast can cause
infection, most commonly in the mouth, vagina, or gastrointestinal tract. Common yeast infections include vaginitis and thrush. Candidiasis is a
condition related to a yeast overgrowth of Candida albicans.APPENDIX H

The_Detox_Miracle_Sourcebook_by_Robert_Morse.txt
Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Substitute
 a plant that is an acceptable replacement for another herb (See:Adulterant. ) Sudorifics
 help cause active or droplet perspiration. Stimulate production and
secretion of perspiration. Sugars
 (simple) sugar in its simplest form biologically. Sugars
 (complex) two or more simple sugar molecules bonded together (e. g. ,
maltose, dextrose, sucrose, etc. ). Superior
 above. Sympathetic Nervous System
 part of the autonomic nervous system that
tends to act as an accelerator for those organs needed to meet a stressful
situation. The sympathetic division dominates during stressful situations, such
as anger or fright, and the body responses contribute to fight or flight, with
unimportant activities such as digestion markedly slowed. Most sympathetic
neurons release the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Syndrome
 a group of signs and symptoms that occur together in a pattern
characteristic of a particular “disease” or abnormal condition related to a
specific effect. Synergistic
 the simultaneous action of two or more substances whose
combined effect is greater than the sum of each working alone. Systems of the Human Body
 fourteen in all; nine major systems. They are:
Circulatory, Digestive, Eliminative (Intestinal, Lymphatic, Urinary,
Integumentary, and Immune), Glandular, Muscular, Nervous, Reproductive,
Respiratory, and Skeletal. Systemic
 relating to or affecting the entire body. Systolic
 the period of greatest pressure in the arterial vascular system affected
directly by the adrenal medula and neuro-transmitter release. Taeniafuges and Taeniacides
 herbs that expel (taeniafuges) or kill
(taeniacides) tapeworms in the intestinal tract (Castor Oil, Cucumber Seeds,
Male Fern, Pumpkin Seeds). Tannins
 substances in plants that possess astringent properties. Tannins bind
and act upon various chemicals and proteins to form protection to the skin
and mucus membranes. Tannins are known to help reduce diarrhea, internal
bleeding, reduce inflammation, burns, and stimulate the healing of wounds. Tannins act with infectious conditions. Tapeworm
 any of several ribbon-like worms that infest the intestines ofinvertebrates, including humans. They can grow to 20-30 feet long. T-Cells
 white blood cells that facilitate the immune system. They start out as
B-cells, travel to the thymus gland and mature into T-cells. T-cells reflect
conditional immune response. Testes
 located in the male scrotum. A gender-specific endocrine gland for
development of sex characteristics; some effects on growth. Testosterone
 an androgen found in the testes. Testosterone is an aggressive,
steroid-type hormone produced in the adrenal cortex of both men and
women; responsible for sperm production and secondary sex characteristics
in males. Tetters
 skin disease with pimples or blisters such as herpes, ringworm, or
eczema. Thyroid Gland
 largest of the endocrine glands; located in the neck. This
gland produces hormones, principally thyroxin. A hormone called calcitonin
is also produced in the thyroid and is vital in calcium utilization. The main
function of the thyroid hormones is to regulate metabolism for the production
of heat and energy in the body tissues. When enlarged, the thyroid gland is
called a goiter. The thyroid increases metabolic rate and indirectly influences
growth and nutrition. Thymus
 organ located above the heart, mid sternum; important in the
development of the immune response. It is essential to the maturation of T-
cells. Tincture
 a preparation made by soaking (macerating) an herb in a specified
amount of grain alcohol to extract its properties. Tinea capitis
 fungal skin disease of the scalp. Tinnitus
 ringing or tinkling sound in the ear. Tonics
 stimulate nutrition and increase systemal tone, energy and vigor. Enhances the entire system (Angelica, Centaury, Boneset, German
Chamomile, Red Clover, Sanicle, Self-Heal, Stinging Nettle, Yarrow). Toxemia
 1. a toxic condition of the body arising from the consumption of
meats, dairy products, refined sugars, candies, soda pops, grains, chemical
medications, vaccinations, drugs, etc. Smoking tobacco and/or marijuana also
add to systemic toxicity; 2. a condition of acidosis. Toxicity
 the quality of being poisonous. Toxicity reactions in the body
impair bodily functions and/or damage cells, thereby impairing health. (Alsosee:
 Toxemia. ) Toxin
 a poisonous substance of an animal or plant origin. Trace Elements
 minerals required by the body in very small amounts. Triglyceride
 a compound consisting of three fatty acids plus glycerol. They
are the form in 
which fat is stored in the body, and are the primary type of
lipid in the diet. These stored fats are used for additional energy if needed by
the body. They act like batteries, storing energy until needed. Unsaturated Fat
 any dietary fat that is liquid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats come from vegetable sources and are good sources of
essential fatty acids. (Flaxseed oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and evening
primrose oil. ) Uric Acid
 a waste product of the metabolism of proteins. The kidneys
eliminate uric acid from the body. High protein consumption and obstructed
kidneys lead to conditions such as gout (acidosis), etc. Uremia
 1. toxic condition associated with renal insufficiency produced by
the retention in the blood of nitrogenous substances normally excreted by the
kidneys. 2. reflections of high protein consumption or the breakdown of
tissue. Utilization
 the ability of the body to use a nutrient or fuel. Most utilization
depends on hormones, steroids, or neurotransmitters. Consumption and
absorption is not utilization. Vasoconstrictor
 an agent that narrows blood-vessel openings, restricting the
flow of blood through them. Vasodepressant/Vasodilator
 lowers blood pressure by dilation (widening)
of blood vessels. Vermicides
 herbs that kill intestinal worms. Vermifuge
 herbs which cause the expulsion of or repels intestinal worms and
tapeworms. Vesicants
 agents that causes blistering, such as poison ivy, oak or sumac. Villi
 the short filamentous process found on certain membranous surfaces
that act as filtering mechanisms (found in the lungs, intestines, etc.
None (The text does not provide information on this topic.)
