For reasons that I can't figure out, a lot of people think squash should be avoided if they're trying to control their blood sugar, since they are sure the vegetable has a high glycemic index or glycemic load. | | Season 'em with turmeric, garlic, or cayenne pepper, and bake them till they're crisp. You can also add pumpkin seeds to trail mix, sauteed vegetables, and salads, not to mention my favorite—oatmeal.
Sesame Seeds/ Sesame Butter/Tahini
The sesame seed is truly ancient. In fact, sesame is the oldest known plant grown for its seeds and oil and is especially valued in Eastern, Mediterranean, and African cultures. The sesame seed pod bursts open when it reaches maturity, the origin of the famous phrase "Open sesame!" from The Arabian Nights. |

It has none of the usual junk found in multi-vitamins for kids (no artificial colors, no sugars, no chemical sweeteners, etc.), but it's loaded with plant extracts and even tastes great thanks to the xylitol and stevia in the formula.

• Sip green tea once or twice a day. Try one of the many available varieties of green tea, which has strong antioxidant properties. A glass of red wine once a day is also heart healthy and full of antioxidants, as long as it doesn't interact with your medicines.
• Eat. . . chocolate? Dark chocolate has, in recent years, been found to be an excellent source of antioxidants—and may even directly lower blood pressure! |

Today we possess a plethora of mechanistic insights into how dietary constituents such as resveratrol (from red grapes), epigallocatechin gallate (from tea) and curcumin (from turmeric) can interfere with oncogenic events germane to differentiation, death and survival. Andreas Gescher and William P. | | Among these are allicin from garlic, cur-cumin from turmeric, indole-3 carbinol from broccoli, green tea, soy phytoestrogens, flaxseed lignans, red grape/wine resveratrol, ellagic acid from pomegranate, oleuropein from olive trees and quercetin from red apples and onions.
It is literally impossible to mention every potential herbal anti-cancer remedy. There are some 250,000 species of flowering plants that could serve to provide anti-cancer molecules. There are an abundance of laboratory dish studies of herbal ingredients that have been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Just one teaspoon of ground cinnamon per day can balance blood sugar. turmeric is an amazing herb/spice with a similar effect. Broccoli and other vegetables, as well as regular full body exposure to sunlight (vitamin D-generating),40 have superior blood sugar-regulating effects than potentially dangerous insulin injections. | | Curcumin, the main ingredient in turmeric, has now been shown to be a potential cancer preventive or treatment, according to a report by Johns Hopkins University. A laboratory study published in the journal, Clinical Cancer Research (Volume 12, page 5346), looked at the effects of curcumin on cell activity and found it interferes with neurotensin, a gastrointestinal hormone suspected of setting off the cancer process in colon cells. Apparently, University of Texas researchers treated some human colorectal cancer cells with neurotensin, with and without curcumin. | | Practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine have used turmeric for millennia. The active principles, known as "Curcuminoids" possess anti-inflammatory properties comparable in strength to steroidal and nonsteroidal drugs. Curcuminoids are distinguished further for their antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antimutagen, anticancer and detoxifying properties. Curcuminoids prevent the formation of free radicals while scavenging and neutralizing those already formed. | | Spices such as cumin, fenugreek and turmeric are both astringent and bitter. Green leafy vegetables, including kale and spinach, that are cooked with plenty of spices also help to pacify Kapha, but care should be taken not to add too much water during cooking.
During the summer, the Kapha's body is warm enough to eat fruits, salads and some raw vegetables. These foods, however, can greatly upset his balance in the winter, when his body requires mainly cooked foods with hot spices. Cayenne pepper is especially beneficial for him, since it breaks down excessive mucus. | | To make the vegetables more digestible and delicious-tasting, add spices and herbs such as turmeric, coriander, cumin, cardamom, fennel, basil, oregano and thyme. (See your food chart for those best for you.) Add about 1-2 teaspoons of fat per serving such as coconut oil, olive oil, butter, or another oil that is compatible with your body type. Adding some unrefined salt and perhaps a small piece of vegetable bouillon, coconut milk, or other natural condiment will further enhance the flavor of the vegetables. | | And to avoid mucus congestion, they put 2-3 pinches of either turmeric or dry ginger into the milk before boiling it. Whereas boiling the milk helps to reduce some its irritating effect in Vata and Pitta types, pasteurizing it upsets all the three doshas. Kapha types don't do well with milk at all; they develop mucus congestion almost right away.
Cold milk is very difficult to digest. As the cold milk touches the warm stomach lining, the nerve endings of the stomach become "numb" or insensitive, and its cells tighten or shrink. |

Curcumin has antineoplastic effects through an antiproliferative mechanism. Part of this effect may be due to curcumin's effect on various kinases. |

Exercise for Arthritis
You may feel like exercise is out of the question if you have arthritis. Not so. Moderate exercise can be your best friend—building strong muscles around the joints can go a long way toward relieving joint pain, not to mention the benefits exercise provides to overall endurance, well-being, and mood. | | Turmeric, the spice that makes so much of Indian food yellow, contains natural anti-inflammatory cur-cuminoids, has anticancer activity, and is one of the best liver-friendly spices. Put it on everything. Wheatgrass juice and all the other "green drinks" that are high in chlorophyll are excellent. Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a well known antimicrobial and antiviral fatty acid. | | No one is claiming that turmeric is a natural cure for cancer; but between its antitumor effects, its antioxidant power, and its ability to reduce inflammation, there are plenty of reasons to believe that it is a really useful adjunct to the diet of everyone concerned with staying healthy.
Aloe Vera for Burns, Wounds, and Stomachaches
PICTURE THIS: You're a hunter-gatherer, living in the Arabian Peninsula a thousand years ago, and you've never seen anything that resembles modern civilization (think of the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy). | | Turmeric works as a powerful anti-inflammatory, and it does so without any toxic side effects. That's all that counts.
The Silent Killer
Understand this: Inflammation is not just limited to an occasional sore joint. It's serious stuff. Inflammation is now known to be a component of a baker's dozen of diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and Alzheimer's, not to mention the more obvious ones like arthritis, allergies, and asthma. Not long ago, a major national news magazine devoted a cover story to inflammation, calling it "the silent killer. | | Other Health Benefits
The ability of turmeric to fight inflammation and also to serve as an antioxidant makes cur-cumin a very liver-friendly food. It's a great thing to use regularly if you have hepatitis. One study, in the journal Toxicology, demonstrated curcumin's significant liver protection in male rats largely through its antioxidant properties. Mark Stengler, N.D., recommends it for hepatitis and says that it is frequently used to lower elevated liver enzymes.
And then, to top it off, there's cancer. |

SEA ANEMONE EXTRACT.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
MODERATE RISK
Anticoagulants, Antiplatelet Agents, Low Molecular Weight Heparins, and Thrombolytic Agents: Theoretically, curcumin may add to the effect of these medications and increase the risk of bleeding. Curcumin inhibited platelet aggregation in animals and in vitro (Srivastava et al, 1995; Srivastava et al, 1985), which may result in prolonged bleeding times if taken with drugs known to affect platelet function. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Even if the environmental estrogens actually get through and attaches to the estrogen receptor -- which means it causes cell division to speed up and so forth -- turmeric turns the volume down, so the cells don't grow and divide as rapidly as they normally would. Then, when it goes to the liver to get broken down, it beefs up the liver enzymes and makes the body more effective at eliminating these toxins and excess estrogen.
We also put green tea in there, and green tea has tremendous anticancer properties. It's a very powerful anti-inflammatory with antioxidants just like turmeric. |
