Green food supplements, when taken regularly, will also help stave off cravings by contributing to your overall nourishment. Barley grass in particular quells cravings for sweets because it helps balance blood sugar. In fact, it is recommended by the American Diabetic Association for just this reason. |

 Halle berry in Diabetes, 2003
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Mortality Study, they found that those participants with impaired glucose tolerance were nearly twice as likely to die from any type of cancer than those with normal blood sugar levels. Writing in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the researchers noted these people with elevated blood sugar levels had more than quadruple the chance of developing the condition than folks who didn't have the condition. |

| A plant-source only diet is advocated by most every major world religious tradition, as illustrated in Food for the Gods by Rynn berry. This reality is also concisely stated in the chapter "Vegetarianism in the World's Religions" in my book Conscious Eating and in Spiritual Nutrition, two books containing arguably the best scientifically documented case for a life-long vegan diet of live foods. We have seen evidence that a processed diet is a diabetogenic diet, and the Culture of Death way of eating and living creates far more suffering and sickness worldwide than just diabetes. |

 The word bilberry comes from the Danish word bolebar, which means "dark berry."
In the early twelfth century, women ate bilberry fruit to promote menstruation; by the sixteenth century, Europeans were employing it for a variety of conditions, including coughs and tuberculosis, liver disorders, and bladder stones. European herbalists praised the berries as an astringent, tonic, and antiseptic. The astringent properties also made bilberry fruit helpful against inflammations and infections of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract. |

 Here's how I use it: I put in one heaping tablespoon of the strawberry kiwi flavor of Earth's Promise in a glass of water, and blend in a tablespoon of the berry Green. Essentially, I'm increasing the dosage of the superfood nutrients, and still getting the outstanding flavor of Earth's Promise, which has a sort of tangy, tart flavor. Earth's Promise uses some stevia, so there's some sweetness in there without using any refined sugars whatsoever. That combination -- wow, that's a great product! That will, by itself, give you so much good nutrition. |

Quercetin and prostate cancer
Quercetin is commonly found in red onions and red apple skin. It is a powerful antioxidant in foods and is available as a dietary supplement. |

Doctors are likely to respond to this new study by saying to patients: " Well, but just to be on the safe side, why don't we at least try one course of chemotherapy." They leave treatment decisions in the patient's hands, and these uncertain patients generally elect to undergo more aggressive treatment.
Here is how oncologists justify chemotherapy for breast cancer. Young women who receive chemotherapy gain on average about 5.4 months of life, compared to those who do not elect chemotherapy. |
| The use of saw palmetto berry extract (160 mg twice a day, 75-85% extract), pollen (cemitin), pygeum, and nettles may be helpful.
Zinc (gluconate, up to 30 mg), boron (3-12 mg), and soy, may be helpful additions to a dietary supplement regimen.
Melatonin and sleep: In advanced stages of prostate cancer, melatonin (-10-20 mg), a pineal gland hormone produced during sleep, should be employed at bedtime as a dietary supplement, as it has been shown to triple the remaining lifespan of cancer patients. |
| Urology 66: 161-66, 2005] Men commonly take saw palmetto berry for prostatitis, but not for prostate cancer.
Cancer doctors are talking about the use of vitamin E, selenium, lycopene, saw palmetto, resveratrol, fish oil and vitamin D, to prevent prostate cancer. [Aging Male 7: 155-69] However, one study found that when prostate cancer patients were given a combination supplement regimen of vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium, and coenzyme Q10, it "did not affect the serum level of PSA or hormone levels" in patients who had not received hormone therapy. |
| Journal Alternative Complementary Medicine 8: 143-52, 2002]
The use of 160 mg of saw palmetto berry extract twice daily (320 mg total) has been shown to reduce night-time urge to urinate by 33 to 74%, and day-time urinary frequency by 1 to 43%. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) improved by 37% with saw palmetto compared with 39% with Propecia (finasteride). |
| Journal Herb Pharmacotherapy 5: 17-26, 2005]
A scientific review finds that saw palmetto berry extract is comparable with the drug finasteride in the treatment of prostatitis in regard to symptoms and urinary-flow improvement and has a lower rate of sexual dysfunction. Furthermore, long-term use decreases the progression of pre-cancerous cells in the prostate. [Current Opinion Urology 15: 45-48, 2005]

 In the raw foods brownie I ate today, I noticed there were dried goji berries on top, and this is a berry that has been traditionally used for longevity by Tibetans in the Himalayas. This in an extremely high-antioxidant berry from Asia that reduces free radical damage throughout the body and enhances nervous and immune system function.
I've seen a variety of green foods and rich, dark, green leafy vegetables that, as I know from thousands of hours of research, prevent every cancer observed in human beings: Colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and so on. |

 V Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus). This berry has been recommended traditionally for almost every eye ailment, and glaucoma is no exception. It turns out that bilberries contain compounds called anthocyanosides that retard the breakdown of vitamin C. As a result, they help vitamin C do its job of protecting your eyes.
Joseph Pizzorno. N.D., president jp»of Bastyr University in Seattle, and Michael Murray, N.D., co-authors of A Textbook of Natural Medicine, both recommend taking bilberry and its relative, blueberry, as a preventive and treatment. |

 It was found that frequent consumption of fresh juices, especially berry juices, and fermented milk products containing probiotics was associated with a decreased risk of recurring UTIs. Consuming fermented milk products three or more times per week was better than less than one time per week. In this same study, frequency of intercourse was associated with increased risk of UTI as well.
Common probiotic-containing fermented milk products include lactobacillus acidophilus and kefir. Increasing garlic and onions in the diet may also be helpful due to their antimicrobial activity. |

 We sat by a creek and ate sandwiches amidst the scratching of spruce needles, and under a flurry of viburnum and other berry shrubs, good food for the rare Spruce Grouse and its other deep ecology friends like the olive-sided flycatcher, black-backed woodpecker, rusty blackbird, boreal chickadee, gray jay, palm warbler, and Lincoln's sparrow.5 Only about 175 were estimated to live statewide, and they needed deep forest, and the Adirondacks, in the whole United States, were one of the few regions where the birds continued to thrive. The birds needed boreal-type forests with only small openings. |

| Additional antimicrobial herbs for the bladder include bucchu, myrrh, propolis, and juniper berry. Numerous immune stimulants may be helpful, including echinacea, osha, and wild indigo root. Bladder tonics stimulate the flow of blood and nutrients to the urinary tract and may be useful adjunct herbs. These herbs include nettle leaves, goldenrod, kava, and horsetail. Dandelion leaf, bucchu, and parsley root have diuretic effects and increase the flow of urine to help flush the bacteria. |

 Available in Pink, berry, or Natural tone, each offers very soft, sheer color that requires several layers to really register as blush. The liquid texture is surprisingly easy to blend, and sets quickly to a soft matte finish. You may be wondering if this blush can really self-adjust to each individual's skin tone, and the simple answer is: it cannot. However, like any color cosmetic, the way it looks on your skin will be (to varying degrees) different from how the same shade looks on someone else's skin. |
