 Nearly all disease," Gates explained to Rockefeller,45 is caused by living germs, animal and vegetable, which finding lodgement in the human body, under favorable conditions multiply with enormous rapidity until they interfere with the functions of the organs which they attack and either they or their products poison the fountains of life.
Nature's healing methods are strikingly similar to the organization of industrial society. |

 But I still want to be a man, not a vegetable that someone comes and waters every day—not like him."12
Although this man was a competent adult, and made his wishes clear, they were not honored. He was "coded," tagged by hospital personnel to be resuscitated at all costs. Eventually, he managed to disconnect himself from the machinery, leaving a handwritten note to his physician: "Death is not the enemy, Doctor. Inhumanity is.""
My work is to bring compassion back into medicine, and to help all of us take possession of our lives. |

| If you are going to use a vegetable oil, choose olive oil, for it is the friendliest fat in the human diet. As long as you keep total fat intake to 15% of your total daily calories, olive oil and omega-3 fats will help reduce the disease risks associated with consumption of a diet high in omega-6 fatty acids and saturated fats.
PHYTONUTRIENTS, ESTROGENS, AND BREAST CANCER
Reproductive hormones have been linked to the development of cancers of the breast, ovary, uterus, and endometrium because they stimulate cellular growth and proliferation. |
| In a study at Harvard University, researchers demonstrated that lycopene from tomatoes and tomato-based foods reduce prostate cancer risk better than any other fruit or vegetable.
The Harvard study, which examined 48,000 men, found that those who ate at least 10 servings a week of tomato-based foods reduced their risk of prostate cancer by 45%. However, even those who ate between IV2 and 10 servings seemed to derive some benefits. Researchers concluded that lycopene, the carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red color, was solely responsible for the protective effect against prostate cancer. |

 The initial prediction was that with such massive bleeding in the brain coupled with brain stem injury, Aaron would be lucky if he was ever anything more than a vegetable," admits Booth. A parent's nightmare had crashed into his life. Maybe it was the traditional British stiff upper lip, but once he got his bearings, Booth took a much more plucky view of his son's future than the somber physician's report would justify.
"I was shocked when I got to the hospital and saw Aaron on the life-support system and realized the gravity of the situation. |
| These "molecular granulations" of cells are the formative agents of all cells composing animal and vegetable forms, said Bechamp. Virulent, pathogenic bacteria arise from decaying matter, whose decomposition they aid; then they revert to the microzyma stage again. What pathologists identify as disease germs are in fact diseased microzymas or their evolutionary bacterial forms, said Bechamp. |
| In Western medical thinking, coma is the dead end of conscious life, the reduction of the human self to an inert vegetable existence of bare sentience.
But maybe something else is happening during the apparent "lights out" experience of coma. The materialist-reductionist model may collapse in the face of evidence suggesting the survival and activity of consciousness beyond the viability of the physical body, as demonstrated by the "dreambody" life of comatose people.
Anecdotal and word-of-mouth stories about unusual experiences in coma have been appearing in the public press for years. |

 In order to maximize mineral absorption, one can employ chlorophyll, a major ^ catalyst of the vegetable kingdom which increases the utilization of all nutrients in humans,13 therefore greatly enhancing the treatment of diabetes. 14>15 Because chlorophyll catalyzes cell renewal,13 it also makes the long-term outlook for diabetes brighter, as it can assist in rebuilding a damaged pancreas. Since diabetes often w involves acidic blood,16 general toxicity, and various inflammations, the alkalizing, detoxifying, and anti-inflammatory effect of chlorophyll is likewise useful. |

| His cancer therapy involves a raw vegetarian diet, with many glasses a day of freshly prepared vegetable and fruit juice, coupled with a vigorous detoxification program. Gerson was also one of the first advocates of organic farming, and would refer to the soil, which nourishes the food we eat, as our "external metabolism." Fifty years ago, long before the environmental crisis had become a matter of public awareness, this prophetic man said that the earth's well-being was intimately interwoven with our own. |

A news report from the Czech Republic reported that villagers who ate beets along with their sausages were able to lower the usual increases in colon cancer found in that country due to diet. Research seems to be backing this up and giving us the reasons why.
Beets are cultivated worldwide as both a food and a source of sugar. I personally think they are also a very effective herbal medicine. |
| The cooking process is thought to inactivate many of the vegetable goitrogens, such as cabbage family plants, so only raw forms of these foods need to be avoided. Some herbs affect thyroid function in a variety of ways, and they can be used to treat thyroid disorders when prescribed by a qualified practitioner. These plants may raise, lower, or regulate thyroid function. |
