• Limitation of processed carbohydrates (white flour, instant potatoes, white rice, etc.)
• Increased consumption of complex carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables, beans, etc. | | Apples and citrus fruits were not allowed, and grains were either highly restricted or eliminated.
The beneficial effects of this dietary regime are probably related to three areas: (1) elimination of food allergens, (2) altered prostaglandin metabolism, and (3) increased intake of antioxidant nutrients and magnesium. The importance of avoiding food allergens was discussed earlier. In regard to altered prostaglandin metabolism, the avoidance of dietary sources of arachidonic acid (derived from animal products) appears to be quite significant. | | To ensure that acetylation is working adequately, eat foods rich in B-vitamins (yeast, whole grains) and vitamin C (peppers, cabbage, citrus fruits).
Glucuronidation
Glucuronidation—the combining of glucuronic acid with toxins—requires the enzyme UDP-glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT). Many of the commonly prescribed drugs are detoxified through this important pathway. It also helps to detoxify aspirin, menthol, vanillin (synthetic vanilla), food additives such as benzoates, and some hormones. | | Good dietary sources of flavonoids include citrus fruits, berries, onions, parsley, legumes, green tea, and red wine. | | Foods rich in vitamin C include broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, citrus fruits, tomatoes, and berries.
Pantothenic Acid
Whole-blood pantothenic acid levels have been reported to be lower in RA patients than in normal controls.74 In addition, disease activity was inversely correlated with pantothenic acid levels. Correction of low pantothenic acid levels to normal brought about some alleviation of symptoms.
In one double-blind study, subjective improvement was noted in patients who received 2 grams of calcium pantothenate daily. |

See book keywords and concepts |  If eliminating dairy doesn't make a difference or doesn't completely solve the problem, use the same elimination test for the following foods, one by one: wheat, sugar, citrus fruits, corn, soy, peanut butter, chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. In this way, work through all the offenders, month by month, food by food, until you find those that are triggering the problem.
Another way to do this is to eliminate all of the potential offenders from your diet at once for 30 days, then reintroduce them one by one to find the culprit. | | The usual suspects include dairy foods, eggs, grains (especially wheat, rye, barley, oats, and corn), soybeans in any form (from tofu to soy milk), citrus fruits, and peanuts.
Thus, another strategy is to eliminate all of these foods from your diet
Combating Allergies with Vitamin C
Vitamin C is good for everyone, but people with food allergies may need extra amounts. That's because this essential nutrient helps stop allergic reactions to foods, says Jacqueline Krohn, M.D., a physician in New Mexico.
It relieves symptoms and prevents inflammation. | | They include carbonated beverages, citrus fruits, vinegar, and pickled or fermented foods.
The Real Causes of and Cures for, Gum Disease f your gums are red and puffy and bleed when you brush or floss, you have the early stage of gum disease, called gingivitis. It's caused by the buildup of plaque, the gum-destroying, tooth-loosening gunk that coats your teeth faster than you can say "periodontist."
Brushing and flossing may be helpful in removing plaque, but there are other steps recommended by alternative practitioners that can prevent or reverse gum disease. | | Cut down on carbonated beverages (especially cola and beer), citrus fruits, and tomatoes. These foods can trigger your stomach to produce extra acid.
6. Watch out for spices. Spicy foods are common causes of excess acid.
7. Chuck the chocolate. The fat and other ingredients in chocolate can open the acid faucet, causing painful heartburn.
8. Loosen your belt after eating. Tight clothing, such as belts, pants, and support hose, can create additional pressure and make heartburn much worse.
9. Skip the spearmint and peppermint. | | Yates recommends eating citrus fruits every day, especially the white part of the rinds. "They're rich in bioflavonoids, which keep platelets from clumping together and strengthen blood vessel walls, thus preventing easy bruising," she says.
Giving the Boot to Bunions
When worn day after day, shoes with a narrow toe box (like most high heels, for example) can inflame the joint of the big toe, causing a red, swollen, painful knob of bone on the outer side of the foot just below the toe.
If the bone continues to thicken, which is common for someone with a bunion, it can be very pushy. |

Eat Tomatoes and Hot Peppers
In addition to being rich in vitamin C, tomatoes and peppers have some other compounds that are capable of boosting the ability of your body to hunt down and kill cancer cells — or which help you avoid the free radicals that appear to trigger the creation of cancer cells.
Hot peppers contain capsaicin which prevents carcinogens from binding to DNA. By stopping this binding action, the carcinogens are no longer able to damage the DNA. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Well-ripened, sweet, citrus fruits are acceptable because for pittas the sweet taste is balancing. Other fruits that are balancing are mangos, avocados, persimmons, and apricots.
Nuts and seeds are best used sparingly because they are hot and oily. If they are soaked or sprouted, they can be used in moderation. Coconut, which is cooling, is very balancing for pitta. Sunflower and pumpkin seeds can be eaten, especially if soaked.
Grains that are heating, such as corn, millet, buckwheat, and rye, are best avoided or minimized. Barley, which is cooling and drying, is the best grain. |

• Limit protein intake to moderate levels. Eat no more than two three-ounce servings a day of lean red meat, poultry, or fish. Seek out alternative protein sources that are comparatively low in fat, such as yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, and legumes. (The body can extract additional protein from legumes when eaten in combination with grains, such as rice.)

Common citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, and lemons, contain a number of extremely powerful disease-fighting phytonutrients. The Florida Citrus Commission and Florida Citrus Grower's Association, aware of the latest research on citrus and cancer (and the FDA's recent decision to allow food manufacturers to make certain health claims for their products), have begun promoting the cancer-fighting capabilities of Florida orange juice in a massive print and television advertising campaign. | | IMMUNE BOOSTERS
Phytonutrients in tomatoes, cabbage, watermelon, onions, soybeans, garlic, and citrus fruits can boost the immune system to help kill cancer cells that remain after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. They also help reduce the toxic side effects of these rigorous treatments.
Phytonutrients usually provide a degree of immune system stimulation no ordinary vitamin-mineral supplement can achieve. In this sense, phytonutrients play a leading role in disease prevention. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Plant phenolics and the vasculature
When Szent-Gyorgy in the 1930s identified the flavonoid constituents of citrus fruits as a necessary co-factor with ascorbic acid in the prevention of scurvy, he opened an investigation which has actually increased in intensity in recent years. Interest in the flavonols such as rutin and its aglycone quercetin has been augmented by a growing fascination with other phenolic molecules, the oligomeric procyanidins and the polyphenolics linked to the tannins, all very common constituents in dietary fruit and vegetables as well as in herbal remedies. | | PHYTOTHERAPEUTICS
All the above evidence suggests that in sufferers from cancer it would generally be wise to start supportive treatment with dietary measures to increase fruits, especially citrus fruits and grapes, and vegetables, particularly of the onion, cabbage, umbelliferous and nightshade families. Supplementation with garlic and green tea seems generally to be advisable. Particularly if there is a tendency to constipation (itself a strong naturopathic focus for correction in cancer patients), the use of linseed as a bulking agent for the bowel seems indicated.
So far, so good. | | More recently, the NCI has studied the tamoxifen-like properties of the monoterpene perillyl alcohol, a naturally occurring analogue of limonene in citrus fruits and extracted from oil of lavender.9
The anticancer benefits of the alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine from the Madagascar periwinkle, Catharantheus roseus, were identified separately from the NCI programme. Other plant isolates from traditional remedies have been identified as having antitu-mour effects in vitro and in vivo in other research programmes. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Common allergenic foods include dairy products, eggs, wheat, sugar, soy products, yeasts, peanuts, and citrus fruits. However, eating any food regularly may lead to allergies.
¦ Include in your diet cold-water fish such as flounder, mackerel, and salmon, at least three times a week if possible. The oils these fish contain have an anti-inflammatory effect.
¦ Avoid sugar, caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. All of these substances place added stress on an already stressed immune system.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
¦ Take a good multivitamin and mineral supplement daily. | | The most common foods that cause allergic reactions are wheat, milk and other dairy products, eggs, fish and seafood, chocolate, citrus fruits, soy products, corn, nuts, and berries. Many people also are allergic to sulfites, which are found in some frozen foods and dried fruits, as well as in medications.
It has been observed that some people actively dislike the foods that produce an allergic reaction. They seem to know instinctively that certain foods will cause a problem. Paradoxically, however, some people seem to be particularly drawn to the very foods they are allergic to. | | Citrus pectin, a substance derived from the peels of citrus fruits, boosts the immune system and decreases the ability of cancerous cells to spread to other parts of the body. Take 5 to 6 grams daily.
¦ Colostrum helps to improve the absorption of nutrients from food. Take it twice daily as directed on the product label.
¦ Low levels of germanium may be associated with a susceptibility to certain forms of cancer. Add germanium to your list of supportive nutrients. Take 10 milligrams daily.
Note: Do not take germanium if you have, or have a history of, a kidney disorder. | | Beware of foods such as nuts, citrus fruits, whole-wheat products (especially yeasted breads), seafood, and foods containing additives like preservatives or food dyes, as well as contact with animals. Any of these things can cause or exacerbate an allergy-induced asthma attack.
¦ Certain food additives, especially metabisulfite, can be dangerous for individuals with asthma. Sulfites are commonly found in commercially prepared foods such as dried fruits. They are also used by many restaurants to keep fruits and vegetables at salad bars looking fresh and attractive. | | Rutin, a bioflavonoid found in the white connective membranes of citrus fruits and bell peppers, helps to prevent the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins ("bad" cholesterol), which accelerates the deposition of cholesterol in the blood vessels. It also slows down the action of some cancer-causing substances. Quercetin, present in red and yellow onions, helps reduce the inflammation associated with allergies, and also inhibits the action of several known carcinogens. | | If you are not sure exactly where to start, start with the foods that most commonly cause a reaction: wheat, citrus fruits and juices, nuts (including peanut butter), dairy products, corn, soy products, and eggs.
Eliminate the suspect foods from your diet for a two-week period. Be aware of the ingredients in manufactured food products. Many of these are likely to contain ingredients that are on your list of suspects. Observe your body carefully during this elimination period. How do you feel?
Do you seem to be breathing more easily? Are your eyes clear instead of itchy and irritated? |

See book keywords and concepts |  Although Och recommended citrus fruits for many conditions, he said that eating unripe fruit, especially lemon or orange, caused retention of menstruation. However, the sour green oranges when prepared in a special drink and taken in the morning could stanch excessive flow, and the same was good for erysipelas. To cure herpes and mange, the sour orange was mixed with sugar and applied. All these skin conditions were considered to be caused by a 'hot' humor. |
Arthur C. Upton, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | The most common allergenic foods are dairy products, eggs, citrus fruits (particularly strawberries and pineapple), flour, grains, honey, menthol, nuts, meats, seafood, vanillin, and vegetables, such as carrots or asparagus.
Contact with a variety of plants, including poison oak, poison ivy, and poison sumac, may cause a skin reaction.
Common substances such as water, soaps, and detergents can cause rash. Waterless hand-cleaner and furniture polish contain petroleum distillates, which can affect the skin. Oven cleaners, spot removers, and furniture polishes often contain trichloro-ethane. |

See book keywords and concepts | | CITRIC ACID
Citric acid in citrus fruits blocks the cancer-causing effects of environmental carcinogens. Have at least one serving of citrus fruit each day to prevent prostate cancer, and two servings if you have the disease.
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in such seafoods as salmon, tuna, and mackerel and in flaxseed, inhibit the development of tumors in animals and suppress cell proliferation, cell transformation, and the promotion, growth, progression, and metastasis of a variety of human and rodent cancer-cell lines in the laboratory. |
