	Michigan Immunodeficiency Foundation - Dealing with Primary Immune Deficiency
		Primary immune deficiency diseases are disorders in which part of the body's immune system is missing or does not function properly.
		In contrast to secondary immune deficiency disease in which the immune system is compromised by factors outside the immune system, such as with certain medications like chemotherapy or viruses, the primary immune deficiency diseases are caused by genetic or intrinsic defects in the immune system.
		Untreated primary immune deficiencies may be characterized by frequent life-threatening or chronic infections and debilitating illnesses.

	No Disease Without Deficiency
		Diseases reflect a shortage in minerals, according to Primavesi.
		Riceplants that were sensitive to fungal disease appeared to have considerably less magnesium, kalium, mangaan and copper than healthy rice.
		Sensitivity for disease is always being reflected in a low mineralcontent and a low sugarcontent of vegetables and fruit, according to the American biofysicist.

	MALNUTRITION AND DEFICIENCY DISEASES
		A prevalence of minor nutritional disease of only 5 percent in the Army as a whole is of little consolation if a task force of 25,000 fails because minor nutritional deficiencies have rendered 90 percent of the command incapable of putting out their maximum effort.
		Some reason for concern and a suspicion of the existence of this deficiency were justified because in certain of the rations, particularly in the C, K, and ten-in-one, the source of most of the vitamin C was the synthetic fruit juice powders, which, on the whole, were not well consumed by the soldiers.
		Iron deficiency anemia is likewise very unusual in the normal adult male and in the nonchildbearing female because of the extreme conservation of iron by the body.

	Liver disease: information on inherited liver diseases hemochromatosis and alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency from ...
		A secondary form of hemochromatosis is not genetic and is caused by other diseases, such as thalassemia (a genetic blood disorder that causes anemia) and severe alcoholism.
		In this inherited liver disease an important liver protein known as alpha-1 anti- trypsin, is either lacking or exists in lower than normal levels in the blood.
		People with alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency are able to produce this protein; however, the disease prevents it from entering the bloodstream and it instead accumulates in the liver.

	Studies in Deficiency Disease - McCarrison
		CUSTOM has sanctioned the application of the term 'deficiency disease' to a group of maladies the chief causal factor of which is deficiency in the food of certain substances, named 'accessory food factors' by Gowland Hopkins, their discoverer.
		It was recognized early in the course of these studies that deficient foods are in practice usually ill-balanced foods, and that the effects of avitaminosis are bound up with maladjustments both in quality and quantity of other essential requisites of the food.
		Consequently, the manifestations of disease resulting from the faulty food are compounded of the several effects of varying degrees of avitaminosis on the one hand, and of ill-balance of the food on the other.

	Outbreak of micronutrient deficiency disease: did we respond appropriately? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		By training field personnel in the signs and symptoms of micronutrient deficiency diseases (by including a few questions in the survey to help identify the onset of deficiencies) and through actively seeking cases, nutritional assessments could be better used to identify that a problem exists.
		Micronutrient deficiencies can be easily prevented by the provision of a balanced diet and yet outbreaks of deficiency diseases have regularly occurred in refugee populations dependent on food aid.
		Outbreaks of micronutrient deficiency disease in food aid dependent populations should be a thing of the past and not of the 21st century.

		While rickets is the most immediate result of vitamin D deficiency, there is increasing evidence that it contributes to other serious health conditions, such as cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis.
		One study suggested that vitamin D deficiency plays a role in 13 types of cancer and, if everyone consumed adequate amounts of the vitamin, there would be 3,000 fewer cases of cancer in Canada annually.
		The new research was restricted to children under six years of age, but Dr. Ward said vitamin D deficiency is a growing problem among adolescents, particularly those who consume soft drinks instead of milk.

	Scurvy and Fatty Acids
		Scurvy is a disease caused by dietary deficiency of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. Humans, other primates, and a very few other mammals are susceptible to scurvy because they lack an enzyme required for the synthesis of ascorbic acid.
		The disease is characterized by fragility in capillaries, resulting in subcutaneous bleeding, degeneration of cartilage, loosening of teeth, and joint and bone pain.
		Probably the first deficiency disease to be recognized was Scurvy, and as early as 1720 fresh vegetables or fruit were found to cure the disease.
