 I would argue that Ornish would have gotten the identical results—perhaps even better ones—using all those good interventions plus a diet loaded with fiber, absent of trans-fats, absent of sugar, containing very low amounts of vegetable fats, and containing plenty of good-quality protein from grass-fed animals plus saturated, monounsaturated, and omega-3 fats. We'll never know, because when five factors are involved, it is impossible to say which of them—or what combination of them—is responsible for the results. |

 Fruit juice or flat soft drinks diluted to half water, vegetable broth (simmer mixed vegetables in water for ten or fifteen minutes, then strain), or rice water (use an excess of water to cook rice) all are good choices. Broth or soup stock made with oil or animal fat should be avoided, as should milk. Gradually increase the amount of clear liquids over a day or two, and then begin trying low-fiber foods such as white rice or toast, low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese, or bananas.
Younger children and babies do not have the fluid reserves of adults, so begin replacing their fluid losses at once. |

 I do believe, however, that broccoli isolates offer many of the advantages of the whole vegetable and are a good alternative for people who do not eat these vegetables anyway.
Possible Benefits
Can inhibit the formation of cancerous tumors.
The Right Amount
I take a combination supplement of 52 vegetables and fruits that is a wonderful pick-me-up between meals and ensures that I get enough of these valuable phytochemicals. Look for a supplement that contains broccoli isolates or extracts. |

 An alkaline diet including fresh or frozen vegetables (with the exception of Brussels sprouts and artichokes), salads, mushrooms, fresh fruits, potatoes, all other root vegetables, top-grade olive oil, fruit and vegetable juices, water and herbal teas, and abstinence from animal proteins is the foundation for treatment. Salt therapy imparts additional beneficial effects. In fact, for quite a long time traditional medicine has recognized the healing power of salt in the treatment of psoriasis. |

 Other factors may explain this inverse correlation; for example, fruit and vegetable intake may be associated with reduced stress on blood sugar control due to the fiber or nutrient content. A higher level of antioxidant status is also thought to be a major factor. Even something as simple as regular salad consumption is associated with a reduced risk for type 2 diabetes.29
Studies looking at levels of individualized antioxidants have also shown similar inverse correlations—the higher the level of vitamin C, vitamin E, or carotenes, for example, the lower this risk for type 2 diabetes. |

 Data on the relationship between risk and specific nutrients examined in these studies are inconsistent. For example, four case-control studies found a protective effect of carotenoids [302, 308-310], whereas two case-control studies [301, 305] and two prospective studies [303, 307] did not find a protective effect of carotenoid intake. Dietary vitamin C intake was examined in five studies [291, 301, 303, 308, 310] and was found to be inversely related to risk in two of these studies [301, 310]. Vitamin E intake from food sources has not been found to relate to risk [291, 303]. |

 It has long been used for syphilis, earning the name vegetable mercury (mercury was once used to treat syphilis many years ago). In South American medicine systems today, manaca is considered to be an abortive, a lymph and blood cleanser, a topical anesthetic, diuretic, menstrual promoter, laxative, sweat promoter, and narcotic. It is employed for arthritis, rheumatism, scrofula, and syphilis. In Brazil, herbalists use the root as a laxative and blood cleanser, for syphilis, rheumatism, scrofula, skin diseases, and to promote menstrual flow. |

PLANT CHEMICALS
Artichoke has plant chemicals in it that help lower cholesterol and protect the liver. many parts of South and North America (chiefly California) as well as in Europe. The artichoke was used as a food and medicine by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; in Rome, the artichoke was an important menu item at feasts. |

 Eggplant is a popular vegetable in many parts of the world. It is also referred to as aubergine, garden egg, or melanzana. The peel contains antho-cyanidins, compounds like those in blackberries or purple grapes, and the flesh is rich in soluble fiber, which may help lower cholesterol.
The Nurse's Health Study has been tracking tens of thousands of women for decades to see how diet and lifestyle affect health. Surprisingly, eggplant consumption was associated with higher blood pressure (Hypertension, May 1996). Based on this research, we wouldn't trade medicine for eggplant. |

Pedra hume has long been used by people in remote areas where insulin and diabetes medications simply aren't available.
PLANT CHEMICALS
Research reveals that pedra hume caa is indeed beneficial for diabetes. It not only balances blood sugar levels—chemicals in the plant also interfere with various processes that can cause diabetic complications like neuropathy and macular degeneration.
Even decades later, Dr. Cruz and other Brazilian researchers and practitioners are recording the actions and uses of pedra hume caa for diabetes in much the same manner. |

 That goes for every fruit and vegetable; every bean; every grain; every variety of rice, pasta, and potato; and everything made from them.
Thus, if you were to try to lower your cholesterol by simply switching from beef to chicken and fish, you would have one arm tied behind your back. As shown in clinical tests, the cholesterol-lowering effect of a switch from red meat to white meat is minimal—only about 5 percent.3 Most people who follow such diets have no measurable improvement within their arteries, either—on average, their artery blockages continue to get worse as time goes by. |

| Keep in mind that it is, in fact, a root vegetable and a main staple in the Andean indigenous diet (as beans, potatoes, and rice are elsewhere). Taking a few 500 mg capsules or tablets likely will not be of much benefit—or live up to wild marketing claims bandied about in the natural product market today.
The new standardized or concentrated extracts of maca available today are concentrating the extracts to the chemicals found only by the companies selling these products and funding the research. These chemicals and their biological effects have yet to be confirmed by independent studies. |

 Get your protein from vegetable sources, such as grains and legumes. Fish and low-fat dairy products are also acceptable sources of protein. Kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes seems to benefit from dietary soy protein. This protein also raises the level of "good" cholesterol.
Q Avoid saturated fats, trans-fats, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, and simple sugars (except when necessary to balance an insulin reaction). |

Vanadium is found in dill, fish, olives, meat, radishes, snap beans, vegetable oils, and whole grains.
Comments
There may be an interaction between vanadium and chromium. If you take supplemental chromium and vanadium, take them at different times. Tobacco use decreases the uptake of vanadium.

Considerations
Q A topical scabicide called lindane (gamma benzene hexachloride, found in the product Kwell) was once considered a standard treatment for scabies. In recent years, however, it has largely been replaced by permethrin, which is believed to be safer and cause fewer side effects.
Q Scabicides are not recommended for children under the age of six or for pregnant women. In such cases, a milder sulfur solution is usually recommended.
Q It may take one to two weeks for the itching to subside, even after treatment. |

| BITTER MELON
Bitter melon, or Momordica charantia, is a plant in the cucumber/squash family that is used as a vegetable as well as a medicine in much of China.244 It does not increase insulin production, but it seems to improve sugar uptake by the cells. Bitter melon has been reported to lower fasting blood sugar.245 It may be helpful not as a substitute for standard diabetes medicines, but in addition to them. Careful blood sugar monitoring is necessary. Children and pregnant women should not take this herb, because it may be dangerous to them. |

| It is an important staple in the diets of these people, as it
Maca is a high mountain root vegetable that is a staple crop; it is eaten daily by the Andean people, much like beans, rice, and potatoes. has the highest nutritional value of any food crop grown there. It is rich in sugars, protein, starches, and essential nutrients (especially iodine and iron). The tuber or root is consumed fresh or dried. The fresh roots are considered a treat and are baked or roasted in ashes (in the same manner as sweet potatoes). |

 Instead of warm vegetable soup, she pulled out the oil and drowned her sorrow in deep-fried chicken and mashed potatoes swimming in butter. Succulent fresh fruits were replaced by cookies and pies with a hefty dollop of ice cream on top. Now Louise was paying the price.
