Flaxseed
Ingestion of flaxseed on a daily basis lowers blood pressure by causing increased output of beneficial prostaglandins from the kidney, which lower blood pressure.
Exertion
Regular physical exertion lowers the blood pressure. The mechanism which accomplishes this may be improved oxygenation of the kidney, which is associated with the release of blood pressure lowering prostaglandins. |
| This substance is obtained from the Mexican yam and contains aloe vera, Vitamin E and a vegetable base. Topical application rapidly raises progesterone levels. Application sites need to be rotated.
For most women with premenstrual syndrome, apply the progesterone cream twice daily for two months.
(In the morning when getting out of bed and at bedtime). The week before menstruation, the cream may be applied 5 times daily to curtail premenstrual symptoms. Stop the cream when menstruation begins. Use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon applied to the back of the neck, chest, abdomen or face. |
| Countries that eat far less protein and obtain calcium from vegetable sources have far less osteoporosis.
A high protein intake is usually high in fat and high fat intakes are a recognized contributing factor for the development of various cancers.
The high protein intake places a strain on the kidneys to eliminate the byproducts of protein metabolism and increases the frequency of gout.
Good health can be maintained with a protein intake of 50 grams for women and 60 grams daily for men. |

| Margarines contain an average of 30% chemically altered fat (CAF). vegetable oil contains 15% CAF. Commercial baked goods contain 35% CAF. Candies contain 40% CAF. Peanut butter has variable amounts of CAF, while french fries and potato chips contain 40%. The American public now consumes more than one billion pounds of hydrogenated oils annually. Go through a supermarket to see if you can find any products that do not contain hydrogenated fats and added sugar. |

 Macrobiotics has championed burdock root as a vegetable. In Japan, burdock (gobo) is believed to act as a tonic. It protects against cancer-causing mutations (9). Burdock was once the 'root' in root beer, but its use has largely died out. (It is found in herbal-based treatments Essiac and Hoxsey.)
• Macrobiotics encourages the consumption of Bancha instead of black or oolong tea, or coffee. Bancha, a variety of green tea, contains EGCG, which protects against various kinds of cancer (10,11). |

| Safflower, sunflower, flaxseed, and other vegetable oils are examples of unsaturated fats that are healthier for you than saturated fats.
Monounsaturated fats have carbon backbones with a single open space. They are the best kind of dietary fat to buy because they are more stable, less likely to turn rancid, and actually help your body to decrease cholesterol. Olive and canola oils are mono-unsaturated and are your best choices for salad dressings, cooking, and baking. |

| That means eating good animal and vegetable sources of LCPs or taking dietary supplements that provide them. Strict vegetarian (vegan) diets contain plenty of linoleic and linolenic fatty acids that are the direct predecessors of LCPs. Yet, those on vegan diets are usually low in LCPs because of their bodies' inefficient processing of the fatty acids in dietary oils. The high-carbohydrate diet of vegetarians may also reduce LCP conversion. I do not recommend vegetarian or low-fat diets for children, especially those with AD/HD, because of these conditions. |

| Whatever essential oil you choose, be sure to mix it with a carrier oil (such as vegetable oil) before applying it to the skin. This may help prevent irritation. lavender (Lavandula, various species). The pain-relieving power of lavender oil was first discovered by Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, a French perfume chemist, after he accidentally burned his arm while working in his laboratory. Frantic with pain, he plunged his arm into the nearest liquid, which happened to be a bowl of lavender oil. |

| This harmful imbalance has been brought about by the massive use of synthetic vegetable oils in our foods. Unfortunately, all these oils are synthetic transfats, which makes them health risks. Omega 3 fatty acids are unsuitable for salad dressing as they quickly become rancid.
Our meat is from cattle grown on corn instead of grazing. Grazed animals have 5 times more omega 3 fatty acids than corn fed cattle. A second problem is that catfish, salmon, trout, and shrimp are being farmed. |

 Howe concluded that if North American women increased their fruit and vegetable intake to reach an average 380 mg/day of vitamin C from those sources, the breast cancer risk in the population would be decreased by 16%}6
One aspect of the protective effect of vitamin C may lie in its ability to inhibit the oncogenic transformation of cells. |

 However, they had no systematic theory of diagnostics or pharmacology, and basically accepted allopathic medicine's systems, substituting their own vegetable cures.
Regular and Eclectic physicians competed for the same clients and generally despised each other. JAMA editor Morris Fishbein, MD, called Eclecticism "the apotheosis of the old grandmother and witch-doctor systems of treatment" (132). He championed chemotherapy and denied any utility to herbs, whatsoever. For their part, the Eclectics tenaciously held to some absurd positions, e.g. |

| A patient drinks specific freshly prepared vegetable and fruit juices every hour, takes four types of enemas, including coffee enemas, and also consumes two to three glasses of fresh calf's liver juice each day.1
The Gerson regimen as currently offered in Mexico is a radical anticancer therapy in that it involves a tremendous level of personal commitment. When fully undertaken, it requires a full-time effort by a reasonably mobile and energetic person who does not have to work and who has access to the requisite fresh organic produce year-round. |

 Good vegetable sources of iron include green leafy plants, dried beans, peaches, apricots, dates, prunes, cherries, figs, raisins, and blackstrap molasses. Supplementary foods that are good sources of iron are yeast and wheat germ, also rich in B vitamins and vitamin E. Yeast is one of the most accessible sources of iron for babies and ulcer patients.54
Of all the major food groups, only the dairy group contains a negligible amount of iron. Also, the iron in grains and spinach is not as available to you as that from other sources. |
| Excellent vegetable sources include peas, soybeans, mushrooms, whole grains, and most nuts and seeds, notably pumpkin seeds.
SYMPTOMS OF ZINC DEFICIENCY
If your food has little taste or smell, or if cooking smells seem distorted and turn you off, you are very likely in need of zinc supplemerits. Zinc deficiencies also show up in the skin: stretch marks are an indication that elastin, the fibers that make your skin springy and strong, is not incorporating enough zinc and copper to keep your skin smooth. A serious type of acne, acanthosis, also results from zinc deficiency. |
| So if you love to eat, drink, and be merry, try eating whole, unprocessed foods, and drinking fresh vegetable juices, or fruit juices mixed with bubbly spring water, instead of bourbon or beer. You'll enjoy better health, look better, and have more years in which to be merry.
If your doctor warned you that you are "carbohydrate intolerant," this means you should not eat sugary or starchy foods, especially when highly refined. You are at greater risk of incurring high triglycerides than other individuals. |

| These are derived from vegetable sources and are generally more healthful.
There are three essential fatty acids (EFAs): linolenic, arachidonic and linoleic acids. (Collectively, these are sometimes known as vitamin F.) Since the body can make the first two if it has a sufficient supply of the latter, linoleic acid can be considered the quintessential fat for the human body.
Of all the sources of linoleic and other essential fatty acids, flaxseed oil appears to be the best. Flaxseed oil is not just rich in EFAs, but in B vitamins, protein and zinc. |

"We thought that we would improve our carbohydrate by removing the fiber because we didn't understand what fiber did. We thought that it was inert, that it didn't provide energy. The big mistake in nutrition has been removing the part of food that doesn't provide nutrients but is enormously valuable as a protection against disease. |

The third centred element in Gerson's effort to restore healthy metabolism was balancing potassium and sodium in the body. He believed that high-sodium, low-potassium diets contributed to tumor growth, and that high-potassium, low-sodium diets and potassium supplementation could help reverse the unhealthy balance. |
