Supplements. Vitamin B-complex. Vitamins Bl andC.
BETA BLOCKERS. The beta-blocker blocks sympathetic action at beta adrenergic receptors. Since 1964 this has transformed the orthodox practice of medicine. Its action reduces peripheral resistance and the heart rate and lowers blood pressure. Prescribed for angina, brain blood vessel disease and to reduce ischaemia. | | Low salt, low fat, high fibre, cod liver oil, carrots, watercress, Soya beans or flour, lecithin, sunflower seed oil, green vegetables, raw fruit, fresh fish. These foods are valuable sources of antioxidant vitamins and minerals essential for the body's defence mechanism. A diet deficient in these reduces ability of the airways to withstand the ravages of cigarette smoke and other air pollutants.
Foods that are craved are ones often causing sensitivity. Among problem foods are: milk, corn, wheat, eggs, nuts, chocolate, all dairy products, fat of meats. | | Meat, milk, cream, wholegrain cereals, potatoes, green vegetables, fresh fruit, Cider vinegar.
Herbs: Alfalfa, Chamomile, Carrot leaves, Dandelion root, Kelp, Nettles, Plantain leaves. Diet. The best article of food for the mineral is the banana which quickly increases dietary potassium.

Absorption of the element is reduced by certain prescription drugs used in arthritis and high blood pressure. |
Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Regular intake of yellow and green vegetables, as well as foods containing calcium, selenium and other micro-nutrients, lowers the risk of colon cancer. Macrobiotics features precisely such vegetables.
On the other hand, the greatest source of calcium, a most necessary nutrient, is dairy foods, which are usually eliminated on the macrobiotic diet. Other sources, such as seafood, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, cabbage, turnip greens, are generally allowed in the diet, however.
• Macrobiotics popularized the use of seaweed in the West. |

See book keywords and concepts |  They are produced in higher plants and microorganisms and occur abundantly in fresh leafy green vegetables (folic acid was originally isolated from four tons of spinach, such was the crudity of isolation techniques more than sixty years ago), yeasts and liver.
Folic acid participates in several important metabolic processes in the body, the most important being the synthesis of DNA. Deficiency leads to an anemia which is very similar to that caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. This type of anemia is called megaloblastic anemia. |
James A. Howenstine, MD

See book keywords and concepts |  Non-heme iron is also found in these foods, as well as in dried fruit, molasses, leafy green vegetables, wine, and most iron supplements. Acidic foods (such as tomato sauce) cooked in an iron pan can also be a source of dietary iron.
Vegetarians eat less iron than non-vegetarians, and the iron they eat is somewhat less absorbable. As a result, vegetarians are more likely to have reduced iron stores.2 Vegetarians can increase their iron intake by emphasizing iron-containing foods within their diet (see above) or in some cases by supplementing iron if needed. |
Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Add more fiber to the diet, including whole-grain breads and cereals, and many green vegetables and fruits each day. A high-fiber diet with plenty of liquids is likely to prevent the formation of hemorrhoids and make the stools bulkier and softer, thus causing less straining. Try eating around the same time each day. Chew food slowly and thoroughly. Never ignore an urge to defecate. Include some brisk walking and other exercise in your daily routine. Learn to breathe in an easy way, especially when lifting, stooping, and squatting. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts |  Of the world's seven large-scale diet and colon cancer studies done, fully six of them (two in the United States, one in Japan, one in Greece, one in Norway, one in Israel) point to green vegetables, including brussels sprouts, as formidable cancer preventers.
Of those, brussels sprouts emerged (along with cabbage and broccoli) as particularly outstanding in saving men from colon cancer in Dr. Saxon Graham's 1978 landmark study in Buffalo. | | It is one of the richest of all green vegetables in carotenoids, anticancer agents. For example, raw spinach, another rich source, has thirty-six milligrams of carotenoids per 100 grams; an equal amount of kale has more than twice that much—seventy-eight milligrams.
Kale is also higher in one particular type of carotenoid, beta carotene. (Kale has twice as much as spinach.) Beta carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body, is singled out by some scientists as a particularly potent anticancer agent, as demonstrated by animal studies. | | In epidemiological studies in which diets are compared with cancer rates, melons come out as protective along with other orange fruits and green vegetables. For example, a 1985 study found that among 1271 Massachusetts residents over age sixty-six, those who ate the most green and yellow fruits and vegetables, including fresh melon, had the lowest death rates from cancer. In fact, those who ate the absolute most had only three tenths of one percent the risk of dying of cancer as those who ate the least green and yellow fruits and vegetables. | | Prostate: yellow and green vegetables. Carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, peas, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower.
Stomach: raw carrots, coleslaw, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, corn, eggplant, milk, onion, sweet potatoes, squash.
High fat and meat diets predispose to cancer.
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
For keeping the blood free of clots, try fatty fish, garlic, ginger, melon, tree ear mushrooms, olive oil, onion, and kelp. | | The theory: compounds in the green vegetables (and in dark-orange vegetables) act as antidotes to a cancer process that continues years after exposure to carcinogens such as smoke.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS
POSSIBLE THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT:
• A good bet to inhibit cancer, especially colon and stomach
FACTS
Brussels sprouts look exceptionally good as a way to boost the body's defenses if you're worried about cancer, notably colon cancer. |

Informed Dissent
Although impressed with these findings regarding vegetable consumption, Dr. Barker considers diet to be a secondary factor in appendicitis. His research team has pursued lots of other leads, too; the results show that hygienic factors such as overcrowding and lack of hot water best account for appendicitis in the United Kingdom. Dr. Barker believes that sanitation and exposure to infection are what matter most. | | TURNIPS
The Root to Health
28 calories per cup (cooked)
If cabbage and other green vegetables are wasted on your family, consider the lowly turnip. Hardly anyone would expect that the turnip-with its texture just right for the meat-and-potatoes crowd-is related to the cabbage. But it is-and that means that turnips come with the seal of approval from countless expert panels on cancer prevention.
The turnip's membership in the cabbage family clan is its most impressive asset. But it also provides some vitamin C and a starchy taste reminiscent of potatoes-but with fewer calories. |

Who Is Likely to Be Deficient?
A vitamin K deficiency, which causes uncontrolled bleeding, is rare, except in individuals with certain malabsorption diseases. | | Wheat germ oil, nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, whole grains, egg yolks, and leafy green vegetables all contain vitamin E. However, the high levels found in supplements, often 100 to 800 IU per day, are not obtainable from eating food.
Vitamin K (Phylloquinone)
Vitamin K is needed for proper bone formation (p. 133) and blood clotting, in both cases by helping the body transport calcium. Vitamin K is used by medical doctors when treating an overdose of the drug warfarin. Also, medical doctors prescribe vitamin K to prevent excessive bleeding in people taking warfarin who require surgery. |

MSM's presence in the human body was first reported during the 1960s, when a laboratory analysis of the urine of men, women, and children found rhat 4 to 11 milligrams of MSM was excreted over a twenty-four-hour period. Then in the late 1980s, a researcher at a major German pharmaceutical company found that MSM is present in human plasma. Plasma is the liquid part of blood.

Committee on Comparative Toxicity of Naturally Occurring Carcinogens
See book keywords and concepts |  Nitrite exposure results from the oxidation of NO produced as the result of inflammatory responses or from reduction of dietary nitrate, the primary source of which is green vegetables (usually about 90%) and drinking water. The latter is a significant source only if the drinking water nitrate exceeds the EPA limit of 50 mg/L (NRC 1981). Nitrate in vegetables is accompanied by varying amounts of ascorbic acid and polyphenolics, which inhibit the nitrosation reaction. Nitrosa-mines are also found to a small extent occurring naturally in foods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  You are doing two things: detoxifying, so you do not have those triggers going off and damaging your body, and fortifying your body with those green vegetables, supplements, minerals, phytochemicals. You are exercising and doing other good things; in total, something has to work.
I know it sounds complex, but look at the benefits.
The average person with arthritis does none of the above. He will try simply to take a drug and hope for a miracle. But the miracle does not come. Who are you going to blame. The doctor? No. The pharmaceutical company? No. | | Leafy green vegetables are one of the best sources for magnesium. Nuts, seeds, avocados, and turnips also contain significant amounts. Whole grains, legumes, organic eggs, and raw milk are excellent sources. Many fruits and natural sweets such as carob, honey, and blackstrap molasses also contain magnesium.
Magnesium deficiency can result in lowered immunity, improper muscle function, and impaired digestion. Without adequate magnesium, your nerves can become ragged and supersensitive to pain. Your bones would be too soft to support you, and production of new protein would be impaired. | | Other good sources include leafy green vegetables, dried beans, peaches, apricots, dates, prunes, cherries, figs, raisins, and blackstrap molasses.
A deficiency of iron can cause certain types of anemia. Deficiency symptoms include chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, pale skin, and opaque or brittle nails. The daily requirements for iron are 10 mg for adult males and 18 mg for women. For pregnant women, 30-60 mg are required. | | Dairy products, meat, poultry, fish, nutritional yeast, whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and the nutrient-rich soybean can provide ample supplies of vitamin B2.
Lack of vitamin B2 is one deficiency that can be seen readily. If your tongue is purplish red, inflamed, or shiny, you may need more B2. Other symptoms are cracking at the corners of the lips; greasy skin; vision problems such as hypersensitivity to light, itchiness, bloodshot eyes, or blurred sight; headaches; depression; insomnia; or loss of mental alertness. A minimum of 1.6 mg of vitamin B2 daily for adult males and 1. | | SEAWEEDS Seaweeds rank high as sources for the basic essential minerals, as do green vegetables such as dandelions and watercress. They all contain calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, iodine, and sodium. Most Westerners dislike the idea of eating seaweed. If they were to sample what they're missing, though, they'd find a new world of taste and high-quality nutrients—especially trace minerals—in the six varieties of sea vegetables available in most natural food stores and food co-ops. | | Pan-roasted pine nuts are delicious with green vegetables like peas and beans, and are also tasty in bread stuffings. pistachio nuts
Pistachio nuts are familiar to many as an Italian ice cream flavor. For snacking purposes, use the naturally grown pistachio rather than the dyed varieties. Like other nuts, pistachios should be consumed only in small quantities, since they are high in calories. pumpkin seeds, pepitas, and squash seeds
Pumpkin seeds, pepitas, and squash seeds are delicious seeds rich in minerals that can be eaten as snacks or ground into a meal for use in baking and cooking. |
