Hot Infused Oils
Although hot infused oils can last up to a year, they are most potent when used fresh. If using infused oils only occasionally, make a smaller quantity than the standard amount with the same proportion of herb to oil. The wine press may be replaced with a jug — when cool enough to touch, squeeze the oil through the jelly bag as illustrated in Cold Infused Oils below. |

 Add powdered dried herbs (purchased as powders or ground with kitchen mortar and pestle) in a ratio of 1 ounce for each cup of beeswax-oil base. If using more than one herb in an ointment, use equal quantities of each herb to total approximately 1 ounce per cup. Essential oils are also useful in ointments. (See aromatherapy in Part Three for a discussion of essential oils.) They should be added to the base in a ratio of 1 teaspoon of essential oil per cup of base.
Keep homemade ointments in jars in the refrigerator. Be sure to label them so that they are not mistaken for food. |

 Fats in Your Diet
You obtain some fats for good health every time you eat—whether a plate of lentils or a slice of whole grain bread. That is not to say, however, that adequate amounts of all types of fat essential for health will be supplied by your diet, unless you know the facts and you plan accordingly. For example, here are a few findings on the subject of fats in foods from a report by USDA scientists in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, based upon reports from the Department of Agriculture. |

| To guard against the possibility of any asthmatic attack during the night, an enema was used each night before the child was put to bed, but this was soon discontinued, as it was apparent in a very few days that there would be no return of the gas pressure. This diet was kept up for several months, and the child is now eating normally ( a well-balanced diet).

If it is to be drunk, watercress juice must always be diluted with water as it is very irritating. |

 Smoke inhalation (see also Carbon monoxide poisoning)
This is one of the most common causes of human injury during disasters. It is the number one cause of fire related deaths. The inhalation of smoke always causes tissue damage. Massive inhalation may lead to permanent damage and/or death. The agents responsible for this are various hydrocarbons liberated in smoke, which are highly caustic to human cells.
During a fire involving synthetic building materials (or even natural wood) numerous highly toxic compounds are liberated in the smoke, including acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and cyanide. |

 Then in 1973, Haenszel and other statisticians and clinicians from Hawaii and the National Institutes of Health analyzed the colon cancer and diet relationship among Japanese Hawaiian patients. They actually found that the highest risk relationship came from macaroni, green peas, green beans, and soy, yet the conclusions drawn from this research was that beef was related to colon cancer, and that it fit the hypothesis of Wynder.

Lycopene and Cancer Prevention in the Prostate
Lycopene is the most abundant carotenoid present in human plasma and tissues. Lycopene is especially highly concentrated in the prostate and undoubtedly has a protective benefit to the prostate as an antioxidant. Oxidative stress is always identified in the prostate tissue that develops into malignant cancer. The oxidation caused by free radicals damages the proteins and the DNA by chemically altering them. |
