In the spring of 1976, for example, she planted a vegetable garden. That summer, she said, she painted her kitchen and tiled her bathroom floor. Alvarez said that her problems began three weeks after she had her swine flu shot. She became bone-weary, so exhausted that she could not even cook Thanksgiving dinner and so tired that she sent her family home early on Christmas Day, asking them to leave right after dinner because of her fatigue. In those dreary months that followed her flu shot, Alvarez said, she found herself lying down in the middle of the day, needing to take a rest.

This omega-6 fat is found in vegetable oils, primarily corn oil, regular safflower and sunflower seed oil, and products made with them, such as mayonnaise, shortenings, and salad oils. Animal fat in meat and dairy foods can also overwhelm the omega-3 fat in cells, throwing things out of whack. To get the full benefit of fish oil, in food or capsules, you must also cut down on animal fats and omega-6 fats. Why Not Cod Liver Oil?

One study has also raised the possibility of a link among pancreatic cancer, heavy meat consumption, and decreased vegetable intake—the now-familiar story of high fat and low fiber—but this has not been proven. STOMACH CANCER: BARBECUES IN JAPAN! This serious malignancy has a five-year survival rate of only 16 percent. It occurs in greater numbers among blacks and low-income groups, and is more common in men than in women. Whereas stomach acid aggravates (but does not cause) ulcers, its deficiency is implicated in stomach cancer.

In the rich, organic soil of the valley, we grew lettuce, carrots, beets, squash, corn, tomatoes, onions, radishes, melons, peas, beans, turnips, okra, artichokes, and more—often five to eight varieties of the same vegetable. My fruit orchard became the dining room for birds from miles around. Eventually, I enclosed the whole orchard with chicken wire screen so we could have some of the fruit for ourselves. Although neighboring farms had as many fruit trees and berry bushes as we did, the birds left theirs alone and came to ours.

For some reason vegetable protein, and not animal protein, has this inhibitory effect.26 I don't like to give specific recommendations like "Do your duty and eat exactly one cup of bran for breakfast every morning" or to suggest that you should start counting the grams of fiber in your diet. That seems like a dismal exercise. I do recommend being conscious about whether you do eat significant sources of fiber. If not, think creatively about how you might add some in an easy or pleasurable way.

Crane, we used a vegan diet without added vegetable oils, but we did not recommend any exercise program at all. The patients' blood sugars dropped fully 54 points on a vegan diet, compared to less than half this amount on the traditional diabetic diet. Subjects were not counting calories, but even so, the average weight loss over the three-month study was sixteen pounds, compared to only eight pounds on the usual diabetic diet. Kidney abnormalities also improved dramatically.9 In summary, standard diabetic diets based on exchange lists are not very powerful.

First, it eliminated all animal fats and nearly all vegetable oils. Less fat in the diet meant that less estrogen was produced, which was a good thing. Second, plant foods also increased the amount of plant roughage (fiber), helping the body get rid of excess estrogens. Estrogens are normally filtered from the bloodstream by the liver, which sends them through a small tube, called the bile duct, into the intestinal tract. There, fiber soaks them up like a sponge and carries them out with the wastes. The more fiber there is in your diet, the better your natural "estrogen disposal system" works.

Peanuts *The cruciferous vegetable group indues broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts. The foods that contribute to Crohn's disease are surprisingly similar to those that trigger migraines and arthritis. Dairy products and wheat are again strongly implicated. For some patients the problem with milk is the milk sugar, lactose, just as we saw for irritable bowel syndrome. But for more patients, the problem with dairy products appears to be a reaction not to the lactose sugar but to the milk proteins.

They were asked to follow a vegetarian diet, which meant spaghetti marinara, minestrone, bean burritos, vegetable chili, rice pilaf, etc., but no red meat, poultry, or fish. The goal was to essentially eliminate animal fat and cholesterol. This was new for them, but they were given classes in how to prepare meals and some prepared foods to take home. They were also asked not to smoke, to take a half-hour walk each day (or an hour three times a week), and to practice stress management exercises, such as yoga or meditation.

We noted above that traces of certain natural vegetable oils help stop inflammation. However, in excess, oils cause more free radicals to form. Fish oils are the worst in this regard, but the same is also true of all oils. This is one reason why I generally encourage you to focus on improving the balance of your fats, rather than adding extra oils, except as a temporary measure. This is also why vitamin E is typically added to supplemental oil regimens. It is intended to protect against free radical production from the oils. Iron aggravates free radical attacks.

The common ingredient found in the native diets of Italians, Koreans, Japanese, and Eskimos is thin oils—olive oils, fish oils, peanut and vegetable oils—while we Americans eat heavier fats, which are found in milk, cheese, and ice cream as well as in bacon, ham and pork, and lard used in many fried foods. He points out that Italians, in their native country, have beautiful complexions, as do Koreans, Japanese, and Eskimos.

In addition to being eaten as a vegetable, unripe bitter melon has been used extensively in folk medicine as a remedy for diabetes. The blood sugar-lowering action of the fresh juice or extract of the unripe fruit has been clearly established in human clinical trials as well as experimental models.34 Bitter melon is composed of several compounds with confirmed antidiabetic properties. Charantin, extracted by alcohol, is a hypoglycemic agent composed of mixed steroids that is more potent than the oral hypoglycemic drug tolbutamide.

Here was a people so in tune with the Earth, its immune system and their own were so integrated, that, when the white man arrived here, he found an unspoiled, perfectly integrated, whole ecosystem where mineral, microbial, vegetable, insect, atmospheric, animal, and human kingdoms coexisted in balance. But, in a matter of a few hundred years, through wholesale exploitation and plain stupidity, the land lay decimated. Clear cutting of forests and depletion of the soil began immediately by settlers. To date, about 260 million acres of American forests have been cleared for meat production.

When we use a plant's method of killing bacteria in our own bodies, we reduce our human level of immune function to that of a vegetable. ANTIBIOTICS AND THE LOSS OF IMMUNITY Antibiotics in our bodies cannot tell the cops from the robbers. With no discretion, they kill friendly as well as harmful bacteria. The vast majority of bacteria are helpful, actually working for us, like the microflora in our intestines. Destruction of this microflora produces a common side effect of antibiotic therapy in humans and animals: diarrhea.

It is like a type of vegetable steak. In the form of peanut butter it keeps indefinitely. It may be preserved for even longer periods by adding antioxidant oils such as rosemary, sage, and oregano oils. Peanuts are rich in a variety of nutrients, making them an ideal food for quick energy.

Usually, it consists of noxious smelling drug store items, which offer little versatility. After many years of usage few Americans have any confidence in these items, the results being just as disappointing as the odor. The familiar names include hydrogen peroxide, hexachlorphene, antibiotic ointments, rubbing alcohol, and iodine. These agents are poor choices in a crisis.

Increase fiber intake • Reduce sugar and fat intake • Avoid processed or fast food • Eat five or more vegetable servings a day • Avoid overeating! • Limit fruits to three a day. Fruit contains fructose — it's still sugar! Furthermore, some researchers estimate that as many people suffer from fructose intolerance as do from lactose intolerance, or even more. • Drink eight or more glasses of water a day. Water is important for digestion and metabolism — it flushes out the end-products of these processes. • Chew thoroughly and slowly. Digestion starts in the mouth.
