Why is vitamin B6 so wonderful as a preventive-healthcare therapy?

I have recieved a new email write about how important vitamin B6, for human with title, "Why is vitamin B6 so wonderful as a preventive-healthcare therapy?"

That question is posed by John M. Ellis, M.D., in his 1998 groundbreaking book titled "Vitamin B6 Therapy: Nature's Versatile Healer."

Dr. Ellis explains that B6 is vitally important because the body converts the vitamin into pyridoxal phosphate, a coenzyme that activates enzyme systems – the movers and shakers that trigger every activity in the body. Nearly 120 enzymes need B6 to function properly, and 19 out of your body's 20 amino acids require B6.

But even healthy people, both young and old, tend to be deficient in vitamin B6, according to Dr. Ellis. That's why he believes that B6 supplements must be added to a B6-rich diet in order to maintain sufficient amounts of the vitamin.

Your reward for making sure you get enough B6 can be summed up in two words: cancer prevention.
