 Eat more vegetable proteins, including peas, beans, and nuts.
5. Avoid saturated fat by choosing lean meat over fatty meat and low-fat over full-fat milk products.
6. Avoid oils that are high in omega-6 fatty acids.
7. Reduce your intake of trans-fatty acids.
These guidelines are quite different from the ones advocated by the Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The DHHS/USDA Food Guide Pyramid in the accompanying illustration below is a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. |

 The seeds of various plants provide the vegetable oils we cook with. Dill, mustard, pepper, and other seasonings come from seeds; beer, coffee, cocoa, and other drinks couldn't be made without seeds. Neither could detergents and soaps, livestock feed, some adhesives, and some explosives. Flax seed, increasingly being shown to be one of the most powerful of the PowerFoods, is pressed into linseed oil, which in turn creates linseed cakes for cattle fodder, and is also found in up-market hair styling gel—something to think about next time you're at the beauty salon. |

Conclusion:
Have Faith in Tomorrow's Medicine
Patients suffering from any type of chronic illness have probably already learned about the need for a generous supply of faith. They know the very large role that faith plays in all recovery.
Patients must have faith in themselves and in their own ability to combat an offending disease. Such crucial faith need not come from an evaluation of present assets. |

 Potatoes contain the most carbohydrate in the vegetable family, with corn and peas close behind. Between 1994 and 1996, the USD A survey showed that the average American consumed about 165 grams of fruit per day, with 65 grams coming from juice. Even the most "natural" fruit juice is simply sugar water with some vitamins thrown in.
A starding aspect of fruit consumption is that children under the age of five consumed more than 250 grams of fruit and fruit juice per day. This means that young children essentially are getting large amounts of sugar on a daily basis. |

 Other fatty acids, omega-6's, are abundant in vegetable oils such as corn, soybean, safflower, and sunflower oils as well as in the many processed foods made from these oils. They're also available in the meat from grain-fed livestock.
The discoveries about omega-3's and omega-6's are relevant to flaxseed as well as to fish oil. Our bodies function best when our diets contain a well-balanced ratio of these fatty acids, meaning no more than 4 times as much omega-6 as omega-3. |
| Use flaxseed oil for salad dressings instead of vegetable, olive, or other oils. The oil has a nutty taste, and some people don't like the flavor at first, says Dr. Kane. She recommends the following salad dressing recipe: Combine Vi cup olive oil, Vi cup flaxseed oil, V3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 heaping tablespoon of mustard. Shake well for a few minutes before serving. Refrigerate between uses.
?Never cook with flaxseed oil, since it's sensitive to heat.

| While omega-6 oils are vital to our health, we may be getting too much in our diets. Most vegetable oils today have very high amounts of omega-6's but not enough omega-3's, and that kind of imbalance could turn into risky business for our bodies.
Scientists think that in the diets of our ancestors, the ratio of the two types was nearly 1 to 1. Today, the omega-6/omega-3 ratio is about 10 to 1. When linoleic acid dominates too heavily over omega-3's, it may jeopardize our health. |
| In the late 1800s, when many women were embarrassed to consult male doctors about "female problems," they found comfort in Lydia Pinkham's vegetable Compound, a patent medicine advertised to cure everything from nervous prostration to a prolapsed uterus.
Pinkham, a grandmotherly type from Lynn, Massachusetts, first shared her mixture of ground herbs and alcohol with neighbor women. Her son urged her to market the formula with her picture on the bottle, and within a few years, the compound was the best-selling medicine of the era. Pinkham was exalted as the "savior of her sex. |
| This vitamin is oil-soluble, which means that it's dissolved and carried in a medium of vegetable oil. The natural-source vitamin E must be isolated from soybean oil, while the synthetic form is synthesized by a chemical process.
Once isolated, each vitamin can be run through a series of chemical analyses to make sure that it is pure and has the right chemical structure.

 Omega-6 fatty acids are found in most vegetable oils (e.g., sunflower, safflower, corn, primrose, borage and black currant oil) and many nuts and seeds.
Cooking oils are a major source of fat in our diet. Using the wrong type of cooking oil can have a disastrous effect on our health. The cooking oil used by the majority of Americans not only contains the wrong kind of fatty acid but also is devoid of almost all nutrients. |

Muriel Bourne-Mullen, a seventy-one-year-old geriatric nurse, ran into the brick wall of Era I medicine with her miracle cure. She grew up in the India of the nineteen twenties and thirties, the daughter of the British Army officer who arrested Mahatma Gandhi. She was nourished on the spiritual lore of Hinduism and often witnessed tribal religious ceremonies. Although a devout Catholic all her life and devoted to daily prayer, she honored all spiritual faiths. |

 Thus a high fruit and vegetable intake is strongly recommended. However, you must use some caution. For example, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, white rice, and other high-glycemic foods should be kept to a minimum. Try to limit your consumption of breads, pastries, bagels, and other products made with white flour. All breads, indeed all grains, are susceptible to mold. Breads also contain yeast, which is a fungus. An overconsumption of fungi in susceptible individuals can weaken the immune system.
In summary, how do you choose a diet that's right for you? |
| The trans-fatty acids that are found in hydrogenated vegetable oil products (such as margarine and many commercial baked goods) should be avoided as well.
Reading labels when you shop is a necessary part of being nutritionally aware. The new food labels give us lots of information, but sometimes they don't tell us the whole truth. For example, a label may say that a certain product contains no cholesterol, but that does not necessarily mean that it doesn't contain saturated fat—which, as you recall, is converted in the body to cholesterol. |
| Since many vegetable oils contain considerable quantities of linoleic acid (an omega-6 oil), deficiencies of linoleic acid are uncommon. However, you must remember that the polyunsaturated acids containing linoleic acid, such as safflower oil, corn oil, peanut oil, and even canola oil, are all prone to excessive lipid peroxidation (lipid peroxidation occurs when fat is metabolized in the presence of oxygen). So while they are a good source of linoleic acid, these polyunsaturated fats are easily oxidized and are therefore a tremendous source of free radical stress in the body. |
| These toxins are found in small quantities in vegetable products, but as you go up the food chain, these small quantities accumulate in animals and become concentrated in their fatty tissue. While significant quantities of these toxins are found in dairy products, the highest amounts of pollutants are found in animal flesh. Thus, if we limit our consumption of animal fats, we also limit our exposure to these dangerous chemicals (table 8). |
| It is important to recognize that these oils are used in nondairy creamers as well as commercially prepared whipped creams and vegetable shortenings in order to prolong shelf life and prevent rancidity. A good rule of thumb is to limit intake of commercially prepared baked goods, meats, saturated fats, and oils.
We should also reduce the intake of dairy products. Did you know that one of the most cholesterol-producing items in the American diet comes from milk? |

| The human body also manufactures its own supply of GLA from linoleic acid, which is abundant in vegetable oils and meats, according to Elson Haas, M.D., director of the Preventive Medical Center of Marin in San Rafael, California, and author of Staying Healthy Shoppers Guide.
In the body, linoleic acid is converted first to GLA and then to di-homo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), a chemical that does wonders for our health. |

 Just as unrefined, cold-pressed vegetable oils appear to contain the highest levels of healthful ingredients, the best olive oils, which are termed "extra virgin," are those that have undergone the least processing.
Extra virgin olive oil has a deep green color because it's rich in polyphenols, compounds that may be responsible for the oil's cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering effects.
There are many different polyphenols, some of which have tongue-twisting chemical names such as oleorupein and hy-droxytyrosol. |

 Freshly squeezed and extracted fruit and vegetable juices contain a wealth of vitamins and organically complexed minerals. They will also supply the four hundred calories or so that is your minimal fuel requirement. Without that, your body begins to break down protein structures to get it. What's more, fresh juices have a cleansing effect of their own and, as an added bonus, if they are taken immediately after being made, they are energizing and exhilarating. |

 Mix the juice from each vegetable in equal proportion, and drink this combination throughout the day. A little cayenne, which increases circulation, sending blood to every corner of the body to promote healing, can be added for flavor. Lemon juice in water and different herbal teas—some good ones are parsley and dandelion tea for the liver and kidneys, and pau d'arco for blood purification?can be added for variety. "Any herbal tea free of caffeine will be good," Lom-bardi says. "Since you need to drink on an hourly basis, you don't want to drink the same thing over and over."

| I awoke in pain and was told I could not see my child because she was too ill and would not survive through the night, and that I was lucky this was the case since otherwise I would be taking home a vegetable instead of a healthy baby. The young resident who told this to me immediately after I had come out of surgery was breaking every rule of bedside manner and I told her so using every four-letter word I could think of. |
| Lombardi recommends rejuvenating the system from the inside out by fasting on fresh raw vegetable juices once a week, along with these other simple yet effective detoxification therapies:
JUICE FASTING. Juice fasting gives the digestive system a rest and speeds up the growth of new cells, which promotes healing. (If you have any medical problems, do not fast without medical approval and supervision.)
On a juice fast, a person abstains from solid foods and drinks juice, water, and herbal teas throughout the day. "We should be drinking every half hour to an hour," advises Lombardi. |
| Five drops rose oil, 12 drops clary sage, and 5 drops ylang-ylang in 2 to 3 ounces vegetable oil can be used as a massage oil during labor.
To prevent stretch marks, massage 2 ounces wheat germ oil, 20 drops lavender, and 5 drops neroli oil into thighs.
To soothe sore nipples, mix one pint cold water, one drop geranium oil, one drop lavender oil, and one drop rose oil.

All cooking oils contain EFAs. The problem with oils, of course, is that they're pure fat. For those who are watching their weight and trying to limit their consumption of fat and calories, the idea of adding more oils to the diet won't be very appealing.
This shouldn't be an issue. I would never recommend using large amounts of cooking oil in order to increase intakes of EFAs. What I do advise is that people choose oils that have the most of these helpful substances. |

| Additionally, fresh juices, which are high in enzymes, should be a regular part of the diet: two to three 6-ounce glasses of fresh, organic mixed vegetable juice per day, with 1-2 mg of buffered Vitamin C added to each glass, or up to bowel tolerance.
FASTING AND OTHER DETOXIFICATION THERAPIES. The more toxic we are, the faster we age. Cosmetic changes such as face lifts or hair dye may temporarily make women appear younger, but they do not make a real difference. To keep youthful and healthy, women must address what is happening inside. |

| Not only are we getting more omega-6s from grains and vegetable oils, but because we feed livestock corn and wheat rather than letting them graze and eat greens, our meats are low in omega-3s.
Over the decades, there's been an alarming increase in degenerative diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. An increasing amount of evidence suggests that part of the problem is the ratio between the omega-3 s and omega-6s in our diets. Most experts believe that the ideal ratio is probably in the range of three to six parts omega-6s to one part omega-3s. |
