Studies show that aged garlic slows the rate of progression of established colon cancer cells. Tomatoes may lower risk. Consumption of chlorinated water has been linked to a greater incidence of colon cancer. Coffee has been reported to have positive effects on reducing colon cancer risk. Drink milk. | | Pectin is found in apples, bananas, beets, cabbage, carrots, citrus fruits, dried peas, and okra.
There is another substance called modified citrus pectin (MSP) now available that is different chemically from normal pectin. In effect, it has been cleaved into smaller segments that make it more absorbable in the body. This product, called Pecta-Sol, is being used to treat cancer and to chelate heavy metals.
Combination Fiber Supplements
There are many products available that combine two or more different types of fiber, or that combine fiber with other ingredients. | | Consume plenty of foods that are high in pectin, such as apples, carrots, beets, bananas, cabbage, citrus fruits, dried peas, and okra. Pectin is also available in supplement form. Q Follow a low-fat diet. Eat no fried foods.
Q Avoid foods that stimulate secretions by the mucous membranes, such as dairy products, fats, and spicy foods.
Types of Laxatives
Laxatives are substances that are used to promote bowel movement. There are four basic types of laxatives: bulk-forming agents, stool softeners, osmotic agents, and stimulants. | | Sources
Peppers, buckwheat, black currants, and the white material just beneath the peel of citrus fruits contain bioflavonoids. Sources of bioflavonoids include apricots, blackberries, cherries, grapefruit, grapes, lemons, oranges, plums, and prunes. Herbs that contain bioflavonoids include chervil, elderberries, hawthorn berry, horsetail, rose hips, and shepherd's purse.
Comments
Extremely high doses of bioflavonoids may cause diarrhea. Coenzyme Qm
Coenzyme Qio is a vitaminlike substance found in all parts of the body, the action of which resembles that of vitamin E. | | Sources
Vitamin C is found in berries, citrus fruits, and green vegetables. Good sources include asparagus, avocados, beet greens, black currants, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cantaloupe, collards, dandelion greens, dulse, grapefruit, kale, lemons, mangos, mustard greens, onions, oranges, papayas, green peas, sweet peppers, persimmons, pineapple, radishes, rose hips, spinach, strawberries, Swiss chard, tomatoes, turnip greens, and watercress. | | Flavonoids, found in citrus fruits and berries, keep cancer-causing hormones from latching on to cells in the first place. Genistein, found in soybeans, kills tumors by preventing the formation of the capillaries needed to nourish them. Indoles, found in cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage, increase immune activity and make it easier for the body to excrete toxins. Saponins, found in kidney beans, chickpeas, soybeans, and lentils, may prevent cancer cells from multiplying. |

See book keywords and concepts |  People suffering from heartburn have been warned to avoid spicy foods, citrus fruits, chocolate, mint, coffee, tea, and alcohol. There is, however, little scientific evidence that avoiding these foods and beverages reduces reflux.384 If you find that mint or coffee causes you distress, by all means avoid it. If it doesn't bother you, relax and enjoy it. Each person is different, so you may have to keep a food diary and a record of your symptoms to identify your particular nemesis. | | Hesperidin is a compound found in citrus fruits that has antiinflammatory activity.]
At one time, I was hesitant to suggest this to my daughter-in-law because she had been successfully treated for breast cancer. When we were visiting and she was showing the lack of sleep from hot flashes and night sweats, I finally bought bioflavonoids for her. She often thanks me for the relief that it has given.
Nonhormonal Therapies
For years, women have worried about the possibility that estrogen and progesterone could increase their risk of breast cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Treatment includes the avoidance of problem foods, such as citrus fruits, spicy foods, fatty foods, milk, and beans.
Dietary changes that may be helpful
Doctors have observed that heartburn and indigestion may be relieved in some people by avoiding or reducing the intake of caffeine and alcohol. In addition, some people with symptoms of indigestion appear to have food allergies (page 14) or intolerances. Avoiding such foods may improve digestive complaints in those people. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Fruit Juices
Many people experience sour stomach and burning indigestion as a result of drinking citrus juices such as grapefruit or orange juice. citrus fruits, as well as tomatoes and spicy foods, cause most of their distress by direct irritation of the tissues of the esophagus and stomach rather than by lowering LES pressure. Surprisingly, acid is not the cause of heartburn from citrus foods, since neutralized orange juice also produces heartburn. |

See book keywords and concepts | | With its bright yellow, pitted outer peel, like that of other citrus fruits, the inner flesh of the lemon is encased in approximately 8 to 10 segments. The lemon has a characteristic, sour odor with an acidic, tart, astringent taste that is unexpectedly refreshing.
The fruit juice contains mainly sugars and fruit acids, which are made of mainly of citric acid. | | The pulp of citrus fruits such as grapefruit also contains glucarates, compounds that may help prevent breast cancer by helping the body get rid of excess estrogen.
HOW TO SELECT AND STORE
Fresh grapefruits of good quality are firm but springy to the touch, well shaped, and heavy for their size.
A good grapefruit doesn't have to be perfect in skin appearance, as discoloration, scratches, or scales do not impact the taste quality. However, if the grapefruit is soft, wilted, or flabby or has green on the skin, it should not be consumed. | | During the Arab occupation of Spain, citrus fruits arrived in southern Europe. From there, they were taken to the New World by Christopher Columbus and Portuguese and Spanish explorers. Lemons became quite well known in Florida and Brazil by the sixteenth century. Superior varieties from Southeast Asia arrived in Europe with Portuguese traders in the sixteenth century. Mandarin oranges from southern China did not arrive in Europe and the New World until the nineteenth century. | | The lime is the most susceptible to frost injury of all citrus fruits. It is of no surprise that the lime tree was cultivated successfully in the Caribbean countries, where the weather is hot and humid. It was not until centuries later in the West Indies that British explorers and traders used the Vitamin C-rich lime to prevent scurvy. It was here that they originally earned the nickname "limey."
In the sixteenth century, West Indies limes were introduced into the United States by Spanish explorers to the Florida Keys. This initiated the type of fruit we now know as the Key lime. | | Individuals with type
A blood should eliminate all meat products, whole-fat dairy products, peppers, tomatoes, and tropical and citrus fruits.
The diet for individuals with type B blood is more varied than the other blood type diets. If you have type B blood, you are encouraged to eat seafood, beef, lamb, and dairy products. Oats and millet, green vegetables, and all fruits are beneficial. Individuals with type B blood are encouraged to avoid chicken, bacon, ham, and shellfish entirely. |
Antoinette Saville and Antony J. Haynes
See book keywords and concepts |  The following foods evoked symptoms: wheat (9 patients), corn (5), dairy products (4), coffee (4), tea (3), citrus fruits (2). Biopsies were carried out on the nine cases of wheat intolerance and proved that they did not have celiac disease. Their blood was analyzed, and this confirmed that the symptoms were mediated at least in part by prostaglandins, but that an immunological mechanism did not seem to be involved.
Since complying with such a strict elimination diet may be very difficult for some, it makes it extremely difficult to use this type of testing method for every patient. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Natural dietary sources of rutin include the pith of citrus fruits, the white core of green peppers, prunes, rose hips, apricots, cherries, rhubarb, mint, buckwheat, and chamomile.
Dietary sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits; cruciferous vegetables; raw or cooked green or red sweet peppers; raw or cooked snow peas; cooked kohlrabi; baked or boiled sweet potato; boiled green or ripe plantain; cantaloupe; honeydew melon; frozen, unsweetened peaches; cooked asparagus; raw or frozen unsweetened strawberries; and papaya. |
Michael T. Murray
See book keywords and concepts |  Good dietary sources of flavonoids include citrus fruits, berries, onions, parsley, legumes, green tea, and red wine.
In individuals with diabetes who are already showing signs of a long-term complication, we feel that it is extremely important to take a flavonoid-rich extract. Because certain flavonoids concentrate in specific tissues, it is possible to take flavonoids that target specific body tissue. |

See book keywords and concepts |  VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is a nutrient that is prevalent in asparagus, avocados, berries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cantaloupe, most citrus fruits (especially grapefruit, lemons, mangoes, papayas, oranges, and pineapples), collards, dandelion greens, kale, onions, potatoes, and turnips. It is also widely available in supplement form, though supplements may not be as effective as the vitamin C found in whole foods. This vitamin is water-soluble, which allows it to dissolve easily in bodily fluids. It also helps other antioxidants keep their potency and aids in their absorption. |
Ben-Erik van Wyk
See book keywords and concepts |  There is good evidence that the daily consumption of fresh fruits reduces the risk of diseases, including cancer. However, fruits have a high water content and a relatively low food value (low calories, typically 30 to 70 kcal per 100 g), so that they should always be combined with other foods in order to create a balanced diet. Some exceptions are banana (about 90 kcal), granadilla (95 kcal), avocado (160 kcal) and olives (420 kcal). |
David Hoffman, FNIMH, AHG
See book keywords and concepts |  Substances that can irritate a damaged esophageal lining, such as citrus fruits and juices, tomato products, and pepper, should also be avoided.
Decrease the size of portions at mealtime. In addition, eating meals at least two hours before bedtime may lessen reflux by allowing stomach acid to subside and the stomach to empty partially.
Lose weight. Being overweight often worsens symptoms; many overweight people find relief when they lose weight.
Avoid alcohol, as it increases the production of gastric acid, contributing to general discomfort. Stop smoking. Cigarette smoking weakens the LES. | | Good sources of folic acid include citrus fruits, tomatoes, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and lentils. Foods high in B6 include meat, poultry, fish, fruits, vegetables, and grains. Major sources of B12 are meat, poultry, fish, milk, and other dairy products.
Dietary Suggestions to Reduce Cardiovascular Risks
Eat more fruits and vegetables.
Eat more whole grains.
Reduce fat intake to 25% to 30% of the diet.
Reduce cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg a day.
Reduce consumption of egg yolks to three to five per week. |

See book keywords and concepts | | People who have or are prone to urinary tract infections should avoid citrus fruits, as they produce alkaline urine, which encourages bacterial growth.
Mangoes
Mangoes aid poor circulation. Mango juice combined with papaya juice helps to ease inflammation, digestive problems, fever, and pain. In parts of Asia, mango juice is used to relieve dehydration. Mangoes are one of the top fruit sources of beta-carotene, in addition to having a high vitamin C content. The tender flesh, which is the part eaten, also contains insoluble fiber. |
Dianne Onstad
See book keywords and concepts |  Although acidic to the taste, citrus fruits have a strong alkaline reaction on the body (their alkaline content is five times greatet than their acidic content), provided that no sugar is added. They destroy putrefactive bacteria in both the intestines and mouth, and they alleviate flatulence and indigestion in general. Lemons are an outstanding source of vitamin C, but much of this valuable

See book keywords and concepts |  Aromatic isothiocyanates and indoles, for example, are found in the cruciferous vegetables; selenium in grains from selenium-rich soil, nuts (especially Brazil nuts), shellfish and edible mushrooms; vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in citrus fruits and some vegetables; beta-carotene in green leafy vegetables, green and yellow vegetables and fruits; vitamin E in vegetable oils, nuts and vegetables; bioflavonoids in most fruits, vegetables and grains; and indoles in citrus fruits and vegetables. Lentinan appears to be the active principle of the shiitake mushroom. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In other words, while using Protocel, it is probably best to avoid a high amount of whole citrus fruits or fresh-squeezed citrus fruit juice. Both Jim Sheridan and Ed Sopcak used to discourage the use of supplements while using this formula and urged people to get balanced nutrients from their food instead.
The one exception in the above list, which does not raise ATP energy, but does interfere with Protocel, is ozone. Although ozone treatments administered to people not using Protocel can be very beneficial for many types of health recovery, they should be completely avoided when on Protocel. |
David Hoffman, FNIMH, AHG
See book keywords and concepts | | To lessen the impact of these stones, the patient should eat an alkaline diet, including potatoes, vegetables, and fruits, but not citrus fruits. In addition, the patient should decrease protein intake, since protein tends to increase levels of uric acid. In particular, the patient should avoid liver, kidneys, fish roe, and sardines. Alkalinizing mineral water is a good beverage choice.
For patients with calcium oxalate stones, avoid foods that contain oxalates, such as spinach, rhubarb, beets, parsley, sorrel, and chocolate. |
Dianne Onstad
See book keywords and concepts | | Columbus introduced the lemon into the Western Hemisphere when he stopped at one of the Canary Islands in October of 1493 and gathered seeds of citrus fruits as well as other plants. Once the lemon reached the New World, it spread rapidly. Lemons were planted in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1565, when the Spanish settled there. Two centuries later, seeds were taken to California by the Franciscan fathets when they moved from Mexico. Since 1950, California has produced more lemons than all of Europe combined. | | Because of their thin skins, they keep less well than oranges and other citrus fruits. Left at room temperature they will mold, so refrigerate (do not wrap in plastic) and use within two weeks.
Culinary Uses
Kumquats have an aromatic, sweet, but slightly bitter skin and a tartly sour and spicy interior flecked with little green seeds. The most popular way of treating kumquats in China has been to preserve them in honey. In the West, they are generally eaten whole, rind and all; they should be squeezed first to break and blend the juicy pulp. |
Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts | | People with ulcers should avoid drinking the juice of lemons and other citrus fruits, however.
Orange Juice
Orange juice that is made from fruit with the white, pithy parts still attached is a frothy beverage high in vitamin C and phytochemicals that fight cancer, strengthen the capillaries, and have antiviral properties. Orange juice can help ward off colds and other viral infections.
Papaya Juice
Papaya juice is an excellent source of vitamin C and beta-carotene. |
