| Also, in general, I advocate eating a predominantly natural diet containing fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and beans, with only moderate amounts of the more concentrated proteins such as eggs, milk products, and flesh foods, rather than the opposite—one consisting mainly of meats, dairy products, and refined foods and only occasional fresh foods, a diet that is all too common in our society.
I will discuss the basic foods from the least concentrated to the most, basically, from fruits to animal meats. |

Dietary glutathione in foods appears to be efficiently absorbed into the blood.31 However, the same may not be true for glutathione supplements.
In one study, seven healthy subjects were given a single dose of up to 3,000 mg of glutathione. | | In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, Hauser's "Wonder Foods" were skinned milk, brewers yeast, wheat germ, yogurt, and black strap molasses.
In 1937, however, all this began to change. The change came, as both Thomas and Campion note in their works, with the era of "miracle medicine". Lust recognized this and his editorializing became, if anything, even more strident. From the introduction of sulfa drugs in 1937 to the Salk vaccine's release in 1955, the American public became used to annual developments of miracle vaccines and antibiotics. | | A rational approach to aiding the body's detoxification involves:
• a diet which focuses on fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds
• a healthy lifestyle including avoiding alcohol and exercising regularly
• a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement
• lipotropic formulas and silymarin to protect the liver and enhance liver function
• a 3 day fast at the change of each season.
If any of the factors in Table 48.4 apply to the patient, enhancing detoxification is a major therapeutic goal. |

Reduce simple sugars; ensure essential fatty acids; emphasize protein; and clean fresh fruits and vegetables; increase variety; eliminate caffeine and alcohol.
Multiple vitamin and mineral with or without iron
Dosage: 2 caps b.i.d. (pediatric liquids useful in wasting and malabsorption - 1 tbsp b.i.d.).
Research review:
• Dietary vitamin and mineral analysis revealed that 88% of AIDS patients, 88% of HIV-seropositive patients, and 89% of ARC patients were ingesting less than 50% RDA for at least one nutrient. The mean number of deficiencies per patient was 1.8. | | Using this method, low-vanadium foods (1-5 ng/ g) include fats, oils, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Whole grains, sea food, meat, and dairy products are in the range of 5-30 ng/g, while prepared foods, such as peanut butter, white bread, and breakfast cereals, range from 11 to 93 ng/g.122 The benefit of the low-vanadium diet used in Naylor's study was probably due to his simultaneous administration of EDTA.
If Naylor's hypothesis is correct, perhaps other factors which are known to affect Na+,K+ ATPase activity are involved in some cases. | | This entails eliminating all refined and processed foods and promoting the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Supplements
• Phosphatidylcholine: 10-25 g/day (note that phosphatidylcholine may induce depression in some patients;125 if this occurs, discontinue immediately)
• Vitamin C: 3-5 g/day in divided doses
• Vitamin E: 400-800 IU/day
• Pyridoxine: 100 mg/day.
SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is associated with winter depression and summer hypomania. | | This can be accomplished by reducing the risk factors for atherosclerosis, increasing dietary intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplementing with nutritional and botanical antioxidants.
Reducing and preventing atherosclerosis
Although atherosclerosis is a well-accepted risk factor for macular degeneration, this association was unconfirmed until 1995. | | Studies have shown that even among meat eaters those who ate higher amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables had a lower incidence of stones.7 Bran supplementation, as well as the simple change from white to whole wheat bread, has resulted in lowering urinary calcium.1
Weight and carbohydrate metabolism
Weight control and correction of carbohydrate metabolism are important, since excess weight and insulin insensitivity lead to hypercalciuria and are high-risk factors for stone formation. | | Diet
• Avoid dietary sources of free radicals, saturated fats, hydrogenated oils, frans-fatty acids, and cottonseed oil
• Increase consumption of legumes, especially soy (high in phytoestrogens and phytosterols), good dietary sources of antioxidant vitamins, carotenes, and flavonoids (dark-colored vegetables and fruits), and essential fatty acids and zinc (nuts and seeds)
• Recommend the daily consumption of eight to 10 servings of vegetables, two to four servings of fresh fruits, and half a cup of raw nuts or seeds. |
Michael Lerner
See book keywords and concepts |  The strict diet (for acutely ill patients) included at least 50% raw foods (some patients were given completely raw foods diets for up to a year) and included up to a quart of fresh carrot juice a day, other fresh vegetable juices, whole-grain breads, whole-grain cereals, fresh fruits, nuts, baked or boiled potatoes, salads, homemade soups, and raw or freshly cooked vegetables.23 The diet was based around the fresh juices, which, in addition to pure carrot juice, included carrot juice mixed with apple juice, spinach juice, cabbage juice, cucumber juice, beet juice, or tomato juice. |

Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It is known to be very difficult to find fresh fruits and vegetables in Great Britain; a raw green salad is a rare treat. Often, visitors from Europe will carry fresh food with them. With this situation, the British have a low intake of high-nutrient, whole foods that are so important to health.
In the British Isles, the consumption of red meat is high, with pork and mutton eaten as much as beef. Raising sheep for food is very common in the countryside. |
James A. Duke, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  But while you're eating more whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, you should watch some other dietary factors as well. Be sure to drink plenty of nonalcoholic fluids to keep things moving efficiently through your digestive tract. And if you've had diverticulitis, you should steer clear of some small, indigestible seeds—poppy, sesame, raspberry and strawberry—which can plug diverticula and aggravate the condition.
Finally, natural medicine expert and herb advocate Andrew Weil, M.D. | | A report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that stroke risk might be reduced 22 percent simply by eating more than three servings of fresh fruits and vegetables a day.
You should be eating at least that much anyway, since the National Cancer Institute recommends at least five servings a day to help prevent cancer. And if you follow those guidelines, you're helping to ward off two major threats, since fruits and vegetables contain many vitamins and minerals that are helpful in preventing stroke. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Foods that may decrease the risk of cancer include the cruciferous vegetables, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi (cabbage turnip), broccoli and cauliflower, as well as foods rich in vitamin A and C such as fresh fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin and winter squash and foods rich in dietary fiber such as whole-grain cereals, vegetables, beans and fruits. Other foods such as the shiitake mushroom and seaweeds appear to have immune-enhancing, as well as anti-cancer, properties. | | B) Source/Form: fresh fruits and vegetables are the best natural sources of vitamin C. Some of the research cited above indicates that many Americans get quantities of vitamin C in their diets insufficient to significantly protect against various disorders and pollutants. Hence the plethora of vitamin C supplements currently on the market. | | B) Source/Form: The best natural sources of potassium are fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. A medium banana supplies 630 milligrams of potassium or about 75 milligrams per inch; half a cantaloupe, 885 milligrams; a medium orange, 365 milligrams; half an avocado, 385 milligrams; raw spinach, 780 milligrams per three to four ounces; raw cabbage, 230 milligrams a cup; raw celery, 300 milligrams a cup.
There are several potassium supplements available but most of these require a physician's prescription. | | Fresh fruits, vegetables and beverages contain the least vanadium. In the middle range are whole grains, seafoods, meats and dairy products. The daily intake of vanadium is low in comparison to other essential trace elements and averages about 20 micrograms (1 microgram is Vi.oooth of a milligram).
Although the biologic functions of vanadium are unclear, high doses are known to have pharmacologic action. For example, vanadium has been shown to have an insulin-mimicking effect in rats. Artificially induced diabetes in rats can, in fact, be reversed with a form of vanadium called vanadate. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Furthermore, they provide mostly indirect evidence since they are based on the consumption of foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, known to contain high concentrations of the vitamin, rather than on actual measurements of vitamin C intake. The results of several case-control studies and a few correlation studies suggest that the consumption of vitamin-C-containing foods is associated with a lower risk of certain cancers, particularly gastric and esophageal cancer. | | Although total intake of fruits and vegetables increased slightly between 1909 and 1976 (Table A-2), the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables^ actually declined (Table A-3), a major portion of that decline having occurred after 1948. Changes in the per capita intake of certain individual commodities are especially striking. For example, the intake of fresh potatoes is more than two-thirds lower than it was at the turn of the century and more than one-half lower than it was 30 years ago, whereas the intake of processed potatoes has increased by a factor of 44 during the same 30 years. | | Furthermore, they provide mostly indirect evidence since they are based on the consumption of foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, known to contain high concentrations of the vitamin, rather than on actual measurements of vitamin C intake. The results of several case-control studies and a few correlation studies suggest that the consumption of vitamin-C-containing foods is associated with a lower risk for certain cancers, particularly gastric and esophageal cancer.
Experimental Evidence. | | Frequent consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables appears to be associated with a lower risk for esophageal cancer.
STOMACH CANCER
There is a high incidence rate of stomach cancer in Japan, in other parts of Asia, and in South America; but in North America and Europe, the incidence is low and is decreasing (Stukonis, 1978; Waterhouse et al., 1976). In Japan, gastric cancer has been associated with chronic gastritis (Imai et_ al., 1971) and with the consumption of spiced and pickled foods (Haenszel et al., 1976). | | In studies of human populations on the Caspian littoral of Iran, inverse associations have been found between esophageal cancer and consumption of fresh fruits and estimated intake of vitamin C, based on correlational and case-control data (Cook-Mozaffari, 1979; Cook-Mozaffari et al., 1979; Hormozdiari et al., 1975; Joint Iran-International Agency for Research on Cancer Study Group, 1977).
A protective role for vitamin C in laryngeal cancer was also inferred in a case-control study conducted by Graham et al. (1981). |
Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  A general overall good diet should include portions of fresh fruits and vegetables; meat, fish, or fowl, and carbohydrates.
Earl's Rx
Chromium picolinate: One 200 meg. tablet or capsule three times daily.
Magnesium: One 500 mg. capsule or tablet daily.
Glutathione: One 500 mg. capsule one half hour before meals up to twice daily.
Immune Weakness
A strong immune system is the key to good health. | | A statistical analysis showed that consumption of raw vegetables and fresh fruits significantly reduced a nonsmoker's chance of developing lung cancer. Estimates show that nonsmokers can reduce their lung cancer risk by an astonishing forty percent by simply adding one-and-a-half servings of such fruits or vegetables to their daily diets.
Selenium—Yet another study linking lung-cancer risk to diet involve( more than 120,000 Dutch men and women aged fifty-five to sixty-nine Patients were tested for blood levels of various vitamins, minerals, anc carotenes. |
National Women's Health Network
See book keywords and concepts |  Although folic acid is found in fresh fruits and vegetables, few people in this country eat enough of this food group. In the Nurses Health Study, 13 to 15 percent of women twenty to forty-four years of age were deficient in folate.84
Get Your Body Moving Exercise is essential for physical, mental, and emotional vitality. Humans are no more designed to sit in traffic or in front of a computer screen than fish are designed just to tread water or birds solely to perch. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Eggs, milk, and other nonmeat protein sources should be combined with fresh fruits and vegetables to insure an adequate supply of both nutrients. (However, for the best food combining system, fruits should be eaten first.) The proper order for maximum digestion, absorption, utilization, and elimination is as follows. First, eat the foods most quickly digested, such as simple sugars found in fruits, juices, and honey. Then the complex carbohydrates, such as bread, whole grains, cereals, pastas, beans, legumes, and soups. | | It was easy to see that the sailors were lacking fresh fruits and vegetables. Obviously most fruits and vegetables could not survive a long ocean voyage; hence lemons and limes were added to the food cargo of the British ships. The condition called scurvy disappeared. Some substance supplied by a lemon or lime could actually save lives.
In 1928, Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, a biochemist, isolated a substance from citrus fruits and cabbages that looked like ordinary granulated sugar. "Hexuronic acid," as he first called it, demonstrated remarkable therapeutic and curative properties. |
