 With pork and fat intakes increasing and soy intake decreasing, efforts are being aimed at increasing vegetable consumption in northern China by using price adjustments and subsidies and increasing the conception and production of soybean products. Limited results have been reported thus far, but China is one of the few places where policy changes such as altering the price of food have been tried.42
Taking Action
Many countries are following the regrettable path taken by the United States. Diets grow worse, physical activity declines, and obesity increases. The U.S. |
| At its peak, the 5 A Day fruit and vegetable program from the National Cancer Institute had $2 million for promotion. This is one-fifth the $10 million used annually to advertise Altoids mints.8 In turn, the Altoids budget is a speck compared to budgets for the big players?3 billion in 2001 for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo combined just for the United States.9

| Respecting the many vegetarians in India, McDonald's separates vegetable and meat products during cooking.20 McDonald's and its partners are planning to invest about $75 million dollars in the Indian market to more than triple the number of restaurants.21
In China, McDonald's has 350 restaurants and a workforce of 38,000. Workers make less than U.S. wages, but are paid more than many other employees in China, causing college graduates to line up for job opportunities.22 Japan has more than 3,000 McDonald's franchises serving rice dishes and a fried chicken sandwich with soy sauce and ginger. |

 It should not be forgotten that chamomile helped Peter Rabbit get over a particularly over-indulgent trip to Farmer McGregor's vegetable garden.9 It takes a brave skeptic to argue with evidence like that.
Current Medicinal Use
Components of this herb have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, anti-anxiety, and anti-histaminic properties. While what scientific evidence that does exist is promising, most of the supporting evidence for German chamomile comes from its traditional use. |
| The root was used as a vegetable because of its pungent flavor,4 and the whole plant was indicated in the management of many conditions, including: gastrointestinal disorders, asthmatic coughs, neuralgia and whooping cough.45 These numerous indications gave rise to the plant being commonly referred to as 'King's Cureall'.4
Evening primrose oil was one the first nutritional/botanical supplements to gain popularity in the renaissance of 'alternative medicine'. |
| Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) is distinct from the vegetable often referred to as yam (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., Convolvulaceae).5 Dioscorea villosa is a perennial vine, growing to 6 meters or 20 feet, with small green flowers, heart-shaped leaves, and a large fibrous root stock. The plant is native to the Eastern United States and Central America.2 It has a characteristic taste often described as insipid.3 4
Parts Used
The tuberous roots are the part used medicinally. The therapeutic actions disappear on storage and it is best harvested annually. |

 Beans are a nutrient-dense food savored throughout the world for their economical, life-sustaining properties. Beans are a great food to include in your regular menu planning, especially if you are looking to cut down on the amount of animal protein in your diet and save money at the same time. Cook up a batch of spicy or seasoned beans and rice, add a side of mixed veggies, and you've got a satisfying meal for pennies.
As we are all aware, however, beans are the musical fruit. Which means, they can be difficult for many people to digest. |

 Canola oil also has heart-healthy omega-3 fat and very little omega-6 fat, which is implicated in higher breast cancer rates in animals (most vegetable oils are primarily omega-6 fatty acids).42 Because we already get plenty of omega-6 fat in our diet, we're better off replacing it with omega-3. But remember, oil is extremely calorie dense, so spray it on rather than pouring it in. The American Heart Association also recommends getting your omega-3 fatty acids from plant sources such as tofu, walnuts, and flaxseed.40
Heart disease is not the only condition linked with fat intake. |

| Even natural brand processed foods often contain these health-robbing fats. Fried foods would also be considered fats that kill, as frying foods damages otherwise healthful oils creating free radicals that are harmful to the body.
Poor quality fats have been associated with a host of diseases in the body including cardiovascular disease, obesity, impaired immunity, increased free radical production, increased cholesterol levels, infertility, diabetes, and cancer. |

| Accompanying the positive increase in fruit and vegetable intake are increased consumptions of meat and dairy products and of particular concern, foods high in fat and sugar. Nestle notes:
. . . we can conclude that the increased calories in American diets comes from eating more food in general, but especially more of foods high in fat (meat, dairy, fried foods, grain dishes with added fat), sugar (soft drinks, juice drinks, desserts), and salt (snack foods). |

 Fat is found in animal and vegetable products. vegetable fats are found in oils such as olive oil, flaxseed oil, corn oil, etc.
The American public has been told by organizations such as The American Medical Association, The American Cancer Society, dieticians, their own physicians and the government that we must eat low fat, high carbohydrate foods in order to be healthy. This is expressed in the food pyramid that is so well known. I refer to this diet as the "Standard American Diet" or the SAD diet (because it leads to poor health and SADness). |
| Vitamin E is found in unrefined vegetable oils, animal products, nuts and leafy green vegetables. Recommended dose: 400-800 I.U. per day of mixed Tocopherols.
Mineral Recommendations
As previously mentioned, adequate mineral levels are necessary to promote health and initiate healing of a chronic illness. For arthritic patients, the most common minerals I recommend supplementing are the following:
1. Magnesium Magnesium is essential for catalyzing hundreds of reactions in the body. A diet high in carbohydrates and processed food can cause a deficiency of magnesium. |

 This may be because there are numerous other vegetable oil sources of omega-6's in our diets. Thus, we tend to be much more deficient in omega-3 than omega-6. Regaining a balance between these two EFAs is very important in the process of regaining health. Dr. Budwig's clinical results from working with very ill people certainly proved that the flaxseed oil combination of essential fatty acids is extremely effective.
Treatment
Unfortunately, Dr. Budwig died in 2003 at the age of 94. She had suffered a fall from which she was unable to recover. |
| One aspect of his treatment involved having his patients drink hourly glasses of freshly prepared fruit and vegetable juices. His reasoning was that these juices would supply abundant oxidative enzymes and a potassium-rich array of minerals to aid in the re-balancing and rejuvenation of the body. He began seeing success with his dietary protocols, but also began observing that some cancer patients did not have a healthy enough liver to handle the detoxification process required to recover from their cancer. |
| She kept a healthy mix of organic almonds, sunflower seeds, and raisins around at all times for snacking and made vegetable soup with cabbage, potatoes, celery, and V-8 juice. Kathy did not restrict her intake of meat, and freely ate chicken, fish, and beef.
On January 25, 1993, five months after starting on Cancell, Kathy got another scan of her lungs. This time, she only had two nodules left, one in each lung. This was a great improvement since the doctors had initially diagnosed her with "numerous" nodules. |
| First, Huck started drinking six 12-ounce glasses of fresh vegetable juices each day and improved his diet. By the end of June, he also started getting Laetrile treatments at an alternative clinic. Every day (except Sundays) for three weeks, he received intravenous Laetrile along with DMSO and massive amounts of vitamin C. After that, Huck switched to oral Laetrile tablets. Huck added other supplements to his daily regimen, too, as well as Essiac tea. |

| Therefore, the limits underestimate greatly the amount of pesticides eaten by children in their vegetable and fruit rich diets. Further, the estimates of what adults eat were based on food patterns in the late 1960s, which have substantially changed; people eat more fresh fruits and vegetables now than they did two decades ago. The NRDC calculates that children's consumption of cranberries is underestimated fourteenfold; grapes, sixfold; apples and oranges, fivefold; apricots, fourfold; strawberries, threefold; carrots and broccoli, twofold. |

| Anything "hydrogenated" (such as margarine or fried foods)
Fresh vegetable juices, such as carrot, celery, apple, and red beet, are fine. Dr. Budwig also thought it essential to drink a warm tea, such as peppermint, rose hips, or grape tea, three times a day. (Black tea before noon is okay.) For those who would sorely miss butter and mayonnaise, there is a special flaxseed oil "spread" that can be prepared and used ,as well as a special flaxseed oil "mayonnaise."

| Pat the skate dry with paper towel. Put the seasoned flour on a plate and coat each skate wing evenly with the mixture. Melt the margarine in a non-stick skillet, add the skate and cook over medium heat until golden and cooked through. If the pan isn't big enough for both wings then cook them in two batches using half the margarine each time.
Remove the fish from the pan, transfer to a serving dish and keep warm. Cook the prepared capers and sage leaves for a few minutes in the pan.
Pour the juices, capers and sage over the skate wings and serve immediately. |
