Caffeine: Caffeine can insidiously work its way into the diet of the ADD child and bring along with it a host of other troublesome substances, such as sugar, aspartame, or additives. In the ADD child, caffeine's stimulant effect can provide a temporary boost in arousal levels that may be experienced as desirable. | | Avoid monosodium glutamate (MSG), also labeled as hydrolyzed soy, vegetable, or plant protein, autolyzed yeast, textured protein, sodium or calcium caseinate, soy or whey isolate.
• Avoid synthetic additives such as colors, flavors, enhancers, stabilizers, and binders.
• Avoid products containing caffeine.
A final word about nutrition: The parents we work with in our clinic who make the effort, and undergo the inconveniences of improving their children's nutrition are almost always rewarded tenfold. |

One consequence may be that these foods increase production of compounds that exacerbate mucous secretion and muscle contraction during asthma attack.
Vitamin C is especially important to the health of the lungs. It is the major antioxidant present in the lining of the airway surfaces.6 High intake and high blood levels of vitamin C have been shown to protect against the development of chronic respiratory symptoms in humans. | | CoQ is found in other foods such as beans, eggs, fish (especially codfish, mackerel, salmon, and sardines), fish oil, spinach, whole grains (especially the germ), vegetable oils, and organ meats. Coincidentally, these foods are also good sources of vitamin E complex, which synergistically enhances CoQ10's effects.3
We have already seen how selenium has a close relationship with vitamin E and, in fact, may be its activating element. Selenium appears to also have an important relationship with CoQ10. |

See book keywords and concepts |  This helped explain why vegetable consumption seems to reduce the risk of heart attack. This study came about because scientists are beginning to understand that lipid metabolism and oxidation of low-density lipoproteins accelerate atherogenesis and that supplementation of the antioxidant vitamin E, lycopene, and other bioflavonoids reduce the incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction. It was hypothesized in this study that natural antioxidants present in the diet might inhibit the oxidative modification of LDL cholesterol and thus slow the progression of atherosclerosis. | | The season in which a fruit or vegetable containing carotenoids is grown affects how much pigment it contains. A 1996 study done in the United Kingdom examined differences in beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein content from foods grown in different seasons. The results indicated that it is extremely difficult to consistently achieve recommended daily amounts of carotenoids year round. However, protection against free radicals is necessary daily all the year through.
Additionally, preserved foods, both canned and frozen, contained significantly less total carotenoid content than fresh foods. |
Henry Pasternak, D.V.M., C.V.A.
See book keywords and concepts | | It is important to realize just how these nutrients play a role in health and disease. Most vegetable oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids. The omega-6 oils are converted into two different kinds of prostaglandins, hormone-like substances with powerful effects on our cells. The series-1 prostaglandins from omega-6 oils are antiinflammatory and have a wide range of other health effects. Se-ries-2 prostaglandins, on the other hand, are inflammatory and increase the tendency of our blood to clot. |

More vegetable matter must be added to the diet while offering easily digestible raw meat. Potassium magnesium citrate capsules may also be added to the diet as an alkalinizing agent. Remember, Dalmatians must produce alkaline (pH 7.0 or higher) urine to be free of urate stones, which form in acidic urine (pH 6.0 to 6.5).

See book keywords and concepts | | Soil levels of selenium vary so much that it's impossible to depend on just a few foods for this essential nutrient, for the grazing animal, like the vegetable, can't be a rich source of a factor in which the soil is very poor. Good sources of selenium include brewer's yeast, garlic, liver, eggs, onions, asparagus, tuna, mushrooms, shrimp, kidney, and whole grains. Highly refined foods lose large percentages of their selenium, a good example being white rice, which has one fifteenth the selenium value of brown rice, and white bread, which has half the value of whole-wheat. |

It contains cooked rehmannia root, astragalus root, cornus fruit (shan zhu yu or C. | | Bad fat is usually hidden in store-bought bread products in the form of hydrogenated vegetable oil, so buy bread in the health food store, and be sure to read labels of all other foods to avoid hydrogenated oils. Many environmental chemicals are fat-soluble, another reason to buy organic foods whenever possible.
For the body to properly absorb oils, two things are important to know. First, vitamin E helps to keep the oils from oxidizing, and second, oils absorb more efficiently when emulsified. Oatmeal, corn mush, egg yolks, and tapioca are good emulsifiers. | | It stimulates gastric juices, and it is used in Indian households in most vegetable dishes as an anti-food-poisoning agent that also reduces mucus formation.
Turmeric root is used externally by TAM doctors to treat skin diseases and as a plaster to reduce swelling. It is a valuable anti-inflammatory. Modern research has shown it to be a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antihepatotoxic herb, useful in the treatment of many inflammation-related conditions such as diabetes, hepatitis, arthritis, diarrhea, psoriasis, eczema, asthma, and smoking-related lung inflammation. |

LAMB'S QUARTER (Chenopodium album, C. quinoa)
Like amaranth, lamb's quarter is both a cultivated grain crop and a common garden weed. Consumption of the leaves (rich in carotenes, folic acid, and antioxidants) and/or the seeds (rich in protease inhibitors) can help prevent cancer initiation. During the summer I eat the greens raw and cooked, and freeze extras. In the fall I harvest and dry the whole plant, seeds and leaves. | | Burdock root, eaten as a cooked vegetable or taken as an infusion in any quantity, binds with cytotoxic agents after they have
AO killed cancer cells and escorts them out of the body before they damage bone marrow. And it builds immunity by increasing the production of interferon. See Materia Medica.

CABBAGE (Brassica oleracea)
A garden mainstay and a prized medicine for over 4,000 years, cabbage shares the honors with broccoli and Brussels sprouts as the best anti-cancer food, but surpasses them in its ability to adapt to dozens of delicious recipes.

Avoid the lunchtime martini. Alcohol is a depressant, and like many other drugs, it can hit you like a ton of bricks.
Avoid sugary snacks. "After a brief energy surge, sugar produces increased tiredness," says Dr. Thayer. Candy bars and junk food may be convenient, but they can actually drag your slump down deeper. Fresh fruit or popcorn make a more reliable snack.

If whole grains and your digestive tract will never be friends, you may achieve some of their essential values by fortifying processed cereals and unbleached white flour with wheat germ, starting with one teaspoonful per cup and gradually increasing when tolerance is established.
Milk disturbs many people. Allergy is the usual reason, but the adverse reaction may also be based on the lack of an enzyme needed to break down lactose (milk sugar). |

On the other hand, North Americans eat parsley, which is considered medicine in most European cultures. Actually, nearly all the herbs and spices we use to season food have medicinal properties. Preparing herbs for use in cooking does take some time, but no longer than it takes you to make your meal—and as every serious cook knows, herbs make food taste better.

Prime in accepting the presence of additives is the purpose for which they are added. I can live without cake icing quite happily, but if I must buy an iced cake, I'll choose one which hasn't been made whiter with a coal-tar red dye, for experience has taught me that food colorings are particularly suspect. | | The specified frequency for use of vegetable oil is also a must: despite the caloric value of such oils, they help you to lose weight when you're using a low-carbohydrate diet. Progress will be discouragingly slow without them. Don't try to speed up weight loss by reducing the specified portions. You may achieve your goal at the expense of feeling tired. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Slippery elm contains abundant vegetable mucilage, which has a coating action useful in treating digestive conditions with inflamed mucous membrane linings such as gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer, enteritis, and colitis. It also soothes bladder and kidney inflammation.
The powder can be prepared in gruel form: mix warm water and honey to make a paste, add 2 to 4 teaspoons of the powder, and take with water two to three times per day. The soothing action is quick and direct, which helps with patient compliance. Slippery elm is also known for its nutritive qualities. |
Maesimund B. Panos, M.D. and Jane Heimlich
See book keywords and concepts |  Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses "natural" remedies made from animal, vegetable, and mineral substances. These remedies are prepared in such a way that they are nontoxic and do not cause side effects. (A child could swallow the contents of a bottle and suffer no ill effects.) And the remedies are available at a fraction of the cost of most prescription and nonprescription drugs.
Homeopathic medicine is prescribed according to the law of similars, an age-old principle that recognizes the body's ability to heal itself. | | Inside Your Home Remedy Kit
Homeopathic remedies are derived from animal, vegetable, and mineral sources. Some of these sources, in their crude state, are highly toxic. Belladonna is made from a plant, deadly nightshade, that is accurately named; its red berries are poisonous. Arsenicum album is made from the metal arsenic, a deadly poison. Strange as it may seem, the most noxious substances make the most potent healing agents when prepared homeopathically. | | And, as overwhelming numbers of Americans lose faith in modern medicine, this is the right era for us to learn about this time-honored method of healing, whose preparations are obtained from animal, vegetable, and mineral sources. As the image of penicillin is tarnished by. the reality of allergic reactions, why not examine Belladonna (a homeopathic — and, therefore, safe — remedy prepared from deadly nightshade) as an appropriate treatment for strep throat. As concerned parents reject phenobarbitol for their colicky infant, why not try Bryonia. | | It seeks to cure in accordance with natural laws of healing and uses medicines made from natural substances: animal, vegetable, and mineral.
Homeopathy was "discovered" in the early 1800s by a German physician, Samuel Christian Friedrich Hahnemann. Shortly after setting up practice, he became disillusioned with medicine, and with good reason. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century physicians believed that sickness was caused by humors, or fluids, that had to be expelled from the body by every possible means. To achieve this end, patients were cauterized, blistered, purged, and bled. |
