See book keywords and concepts |  Over 90 percent of the vitamin C in our diet comes from citrus fruits and vegetables. (When is the last time you ate acerola cherries?) The "average" American (whoever that may be) is said to consume about 120 milligrams of vitamin C per day. To prevent cataracts, or slow down the progress of those that have already begun to form, you'll need to more than double that amount. (The daily RDA for vitamin C is 60 milligrams for adults, 70 milligrams for pregnant women, and just under 100 milligrams for nursing mothers.) That means more orange or grapefruit juice—or supplements. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Some experts greatly credit the wide use of citrus fruits for the dramatic decline of stomach cancer in the United States.
Thumbs Up: SOYBEANS: CANCER BLOCKERS
Learn to love soybeans, including tofu. The soybean has exciting anticancer potential. It possesses at least five known anticancer agents. Soybeans have anti-estrogenic activity that may thwart the development of hormone-related cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. | | Look for pectin in apples, bananas, pears, prunes, apricots, carrots, dried beans and the white membranes of citrus fruits. "Marmalade is a surprisingly good source," advises Dr. Cameron.
Thumbs Down: ANIMAL FAT—BIG DANGER
If you have colon polyps, colon cancer, a family history of colon cancer, or any concern about colon cancer, severely restrict meat and animal fat; they are energetic promoters of colon cancer, according to strong evidence.
Around the world, people who eat more fat, namely animal fat, have much more colon cancer, study after study shows. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Limonene displays potent antitumor properties during initiation, promotion, and the progression of cancer cells in animal studies. citrus fruits are also excellent sources of the antioxidant ascorbic acid, the plant form of vitamin C.
Tomatoes
Cooked tomatoes, especially cooked with oil, as in spaghetti sauce, are rich sources of lycopene. It is thought that lycopene may be responsible for protecting against prostate cancer. | | Naringenin is a phytochemical found in large quantities in citrus fruits and in lesser amounts in the herbs oregano and tarragon. Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical database lists its biological activities as including working against HIV infection, blood platelet clumping, and tumor formation. It is also an inhibitor of the cytochrome p450 enzyme system; however, this biological activity had a negative effect in a group of grapefruit juice drinkers who also were taking the allergy medication Seldane. | | It is found in a variety of fruits and vegetables, most notably citrus fruits and their juices, broccoli, green pepper, and tomatoes. It is sensitive to heat and can be destroyed by cooking. In addition to its role as an antioxidant, vitamin C also works in the stomach to bind with nitrates and prevent the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. It is needed for formation of collagen, which is an integral part of connective tissue structure. | | Monoterpenes are found in citrus fruits, cherries, spearmint, caraway, and dill, among other edible plants. They act as anticarcinogens because they induce glutathione-S-transferase activity. They also evoke a notable reduction in cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids found in abundance in the flaxseed and the leafy green purslane in the form of alpha-linolenic acid. | | The monoterpene phytochemicals (see page 19) found in citrus fruits and cherries, geraniol found in carrots, and the tocotrienols found in whole grains have isoprenoid activity.
In order to understand the mechanism by which isoprenoids work, you must first know a little about how cells work. Most cells have feedback mechanisms that help them attract the molecules they need to do their work and repel those same molecules when they are present in abundance. This feedback system works in a similar fashion to the thirst mechanism. When you are thirsty, you crave water. | | Curcumin, which is found in the spice turmeric, and ascorbic acid, which is found in citrus fruits, both block the formation of nitrosamines, cancer-causing compounds.
Frequently, a food will contain a multitude of phytochemicals from many chemical families, each with a variety of activities. Although chemists examine each phytochemical for the specific benefits it contributes, it is possible that the true value of phytochemicals comes in the interaction, or the synergy, among them. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Some of the key aspects of the use of essential oils in aromatherapy are described below.
• Aromatherapists believe that essential oils can be used not only for the treatment and prevention of disease, but also for their effects on mood, emotion and well-being.
• Aromatherapy is claimed to be an holistic therapy in that aromatherapists select an essential oil, or combination of essential oils, to suit each client's symptoms, personality and emotional state; treatment may change at subsequent visits. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Here is a list of the disease-fighting molecules that you'll get the next time you eat an orange, grapefruit, or lemon or enjoy your next glass of "liquid sunshine":
• Citric Acid: Citric acid, responsible to a large extent for the tart taste of citrus fruits, inhibits healthy cells from mutating into cancer cells and helps to flush carcinogens from the body.
• Folic Acid: Higher intakes of such folic acid-rich foods as vegetables, legumes, and whole grains are associated with a lower incidence of cancer. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts | | One analysis found that citrus fruits possess fifty-eight known anticancer chemicals, more than any other food.
Further, Dr. Pierson says: "The beauty of citrus is that several classes of phytochemicals are highly likely to act more power-
RAW OR COOKED FOR ANTICANCER POWER?
Eat vegetables both raw and cooked. Many studies identify raw vegetables as more anticancer. However, this is not always true with foods high in beta carotene. A little heat changes the form of beta carotene so it is more easily absorbed. |
Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Use Pectin and Kaolin
An alternative approach to carob is the use of pectin (a fruit fiber found in citrus fruits, apples, and many other fruits and vegetables), alone or in combination with kaolin (clay) as a bulking agent to improve the consistency of the stool. This combination has long been used in the symptomatic treatment of diarrhea (e.g., Kaopectate, Donnagel, Kaodene, etc.). Follow the dosage on the bottle or package insert. |
Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts |  Citrus fruits or juices, bananas, and green leafy vegetables should be part of the child's daily diet.
Ll Drinking coffee, tea, and wine may lower the risk of kidney stones, while drinking grapefruit juice may increase it.
ž The measures used to treat kidney stones and to prevent recurrences depend on the nature of the stone, so it is important to take any stone you pass to your health-care provider for analysis. There is some evidence that vitamin C is sometimes converted to calcium oxalate, which can become concentrated in the urine. | | If that does not help, experiment by eliminating wheat, corn, soy, sugar, and citrus fruits, one group at a time.
LJ Continue to exercise. Aerobic exercise and strength training, preferably under the supervision of a physical therapist or trainer, may help relieve chronic pain after eight to twelve weeks of conditioning. Exercise levels must be maintained to avoid the return of severe pain.
J Take 300 to 600 milligrams of lipoic acid daily to relieve chronic muscle pain.
-J Use either hot or cold packs to ease pain, depending on which feels best. | | LM Do not consume citrus fruits and juices while the virus is active.
Ll Drink steam-distilled water.
-J Wear cotton underwear. Practice good personal hygiene—keep clean and dry.
CONSIDERATIONS
ž Herbs can be used not only to treat herpes, but also to prevent outbreaks and side effects. Licorice (see herb list) an be used as a "morning-after" treatment if herpes exposure is suspected. Cat's claw (1,000 milligrams twice daily) can be used to prevent reinfection with herpes in people with AIDS. | | Also avoid coffee, citrus fruits, and foods that you know from experience trigger these sores.
Q Take a high-potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement daily. Canker sores have been linked to deficiencies of both the B vitamins (especially vitamin B1 [thiamine]) and iron.
LI Eat plenty of raw onions. Onions contain sulfur and have healing properties.
LI Take one or two capsules of acidophilous daily during outbreaks. Break the capsules and apply the contents directly to the sores. Acidophilous can help to prevent and clear up canker sores. | | Other common allergens are citrus fruits, cow's milk, grapes, peanuts, and tomatoes. (See Food Allergies under allergies in Part Two.) To avoid exposure to dyes, do not use highly processed foods, especially colored candies. Also, try avoiding the foods listed above for three to four days to see if a change in diet helps ease symptoms.
ž If you are an adult with ADD, get more exercise to help manage the condition. Italian scientists have found that moderate exercise, such as jogging, for thirty minutes a day reduces brain excitability by 40 percent. | | The safest and most effective way of maintaining healthy levels of beta-carotene is to consume three or more servings of dark-green, yellow, or orange vegetables and citrus fruits daily.
—I Eat broccoli. Of all the cruciferous (cabbage family) vegetables, broccoli appears to have the greatest cancer-fighting potency. Broccoli contains sulphoraphane, a compound that helps the body begin to eliminate carcinogenic toxins in as little as ten days after it is included in the diet on a daily basis. It also keeps estrogen from binding to and stimulating the growth of breast cancer cells. |
Paul Pitchford
See book keywords and concepts |  Of the foods listed earlier which are commonly used in the treatment of diabetes, all are useful for hypoglycemia with the exception of citrus fruits, plum, radish, turnip, spinach, sweet rice, yarrow flowers, and dandelion leaf (dandelion root is beneficial). | | Citrus fruits tend to lower blood sugar quickly and should be avoided.
Wholesome concentrated sweeteners can be tolerated by most hypoglycemics if eaten occasionally and moderately. The best metabolize most slowly, are processed least, and thus contain the most complete nutrition. They include molasses, rice syrup, barley malt, and honey. | | Eliminate foods which are spicy, fatty, or greasy; also avoid all sweets, citrus fruits, and certain fish—oysters, herring, and shrimp.
Since skin conditions reside on the exterior of the body, diaphoresis (sweating) is useful to encourage elimination of toxins through the pores. | | Actually all plants, even citrus fruits, contain at least some chlorophyll; the greater the amount of chlorophyll, the greener the plant. To understand green foods it is important first to grasp the nature of chlorophyll and the color green.
In color therapy* green is sometimes referred to as the "master color," which benefits all conditions. One always has the option of choosing green when uncertain about the best color for correcting an imbalance; green can be used both for reducing and sedating excesses and for strengthening weaknesses. | | The diet should include primarily cooked food and restrict cooling or mucus-forming foods such as citrus fruits, salt, milk and other dairy products, cereal-grass products, spinach, chard, seaweeds, and micro-algae (chlorella is acceptable). Elecampane (Inula helinium), spikenard (Aralia racemosa, A. californica and related species), and licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra and related species) are effective separately or in combination. A typical formula combines licorice (V2 part) with 1 part of either elecampane or spikenard. | | Overuse of fruit, especially citrus fruits, and all raw fruit and vegetable juices, can weaken digestion. Regular use of raw juices is most appropriate during clear signs of excess (red face, screaming, thick tongue coating).
Sometimes unsprouted cereals and other high-starch foods are craved. These can be prepared according to the directions which follow. The suggestion to pre-chew these foods is especially helpful for babies under eighteen months. |
Isadore Rosenfeld, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Vitamin C is present in generous amounts in citrus fruits, broccoli, fresh currants, red and green peppers, and cantaloupe—only a partial list.
According to numerous studies and surveys, persons who consume "enough" antioxidants, preferably in their food, are healthier. The beneficial effect of antioxidants is explained by how the body generates energy and disposes of its end-products. Oxygen is the main "fuel" that sustains most of our biological processes. When these are completed, however, there are residual wastes or by-products to be dealt with. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Pectin, a soluble fiber, is found in a variety of fruits—apples, oranges and other citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli, and carrots. One of the extra benefits of soluble fiber is its mild but definite cholesterol-lowering action. Insoluble fiber, also called "roughage," is the cellulose and hemicellulose in the skin of fruits and vegetables, and the outer layer (the bran) of corn and wheat kernels. It provides bulk to the stool, makes it soft, and speeds its passage through the bowel. |
