| Second, vegetables that are commonly eaten raw (carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, and green peppers) have the same property. For some reason, cooked vegetables do not seem to be as helpful in this regard. When these fruits and raw vegetables are abundant in your diet, some of their glutathione enters your bloodstream. You can almost hear the squad cars racing in to protect you.6
Doctors have long known that one drug can increase or decrease the effects of another or influence how fast it is eliminated from the body. | | Researchers at Rockefeller University in New York gave Brussels sprouts and cabbage to research subjects over the coutse of sev-eral days. They then tested their response to phenacetin and antipyrine, two analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. They found that when subjects were on the vegetable-rich diet, they tended to eliminate each medicine more rapidly.5 Tests with many other medications have shown the same result, although the response varies from one person to the next.
Don't let this scare you. It does not mean that medicines do not work unjuuj uiiuiig iiinnuiui v t*j on vegetarians. | | You may find yourself wanting to slip a little extra cabbage in your soup or have steamed broccoli florets sprinkled with lemon as an appetizer. You can almost feel the protection they give your cells as they drag away intruders.
Showing Chemicals the Door
Phase 1 and phase 2 enzymes are especially known for taking action against polycyclic hydrocarbons, the cancer-causing chemicals that you breathe in when automobile exhaust, factory fumes, or barbecue smoke drifts past your window. This is extremely important. | | The very best detoxifiers, again, are cruciferous vegetables, with Brussels sprouts and white cabbage at the top of the list. Even an extract made from beans has shown some effect.2 Beef eaters, take note, however. None of the vegetable juices tested reduced the risk to zero, so steering clear of beef is still the best advice, even while you boost your vegetable intake.
The idea is not to focus only on broccoli or Brussels sprouts, but to take advantage of the full range of enzyme boosters in plants. "Everybody is saying broccoli is terribly good for you, and I'm sure it is," said Dr. |

Researchers think these vegetables are beneficial because they contain naturally occurring chemicals called glucosi-nolates which block the cancer-forming process.
The protective effect seems to ^—--' be strongest for lung, stomach, colon, and rectal cancer. |

Short term formula
Ephedra sinica/spp. 35-50%
Lobelia inflata 15-25%
Symplocarpus foetidus 15-25%
Capsicum spp. 3-6%

Ma huang is contraindicated in organic heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, enlarged prostate, Raynaud's disease, individuals taking MAO inhibitors and pregnancy. The alkaloids, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, are uterine stimulants in animals. | | Skunk cabbage, Symplocarpus foetidus, is an antispasmodic with a long history, especially by native Americans. It is used in acute rather than chronic conditions.
Cayenne, Capsicum spp,, is an antiseptic and has a protective effect on the tracheobronchial system of the lungs. Historically, it has been used for acute inflammatory conditions of the lungs as well as chronic conditions. Recent research shows its protective effect is most pronounced with chronic use. | | Skunk cabbage -Symplocarpus foetidus or Lysichiton americanum in the Araceae or Arum family.

Rutabagas are root vegetables that belong to the mustard family and are closely related to the cabbage family. They come in yellow and white varieties, but the yellow is more widely eaten. Rutabagas contain the phytochemicals indoles and isothiocynates and are fairly good sources of beta-carotene and ascorbic acid. Rutabagas, also called Swedish turnips, are cold-weather crops and have sustained families through wars and famines. They were staples that helped European families survive the harsh winters of World War II when food was scarce.

It's unlikely that you can absorb more than three to four times that amount at any one time. If you're taking higher doses than is available from food, try to divide the dosage over the course of the day.

Fill Up on Folic Acid
Deficiency of folate (the naturally occurring form of folic acid) isn't thought to often play a role in the development of seizures. But some antiseizure drugs deplete this B-complex vitamin, sometimes leading to abnormalities in red blood cell formation.
"Folate deficiency can also lead to serious birth defects called neural tube defects," explains Dr. Gumnit. |

Once your problem diminishes, slowly reintroduce those foods one by one. You may find that you can tolerate some of them and that some of the others are okay in occasional small servings, says Dr. Ruderman.

Asparagus
Asparagus contains asparagus crude saponins, which inhibited the growth of human leukemia cells in a study done at Rutgers University. It also acts as a diuretic. Asparagus is also a source of folic acid, carotenoids, and vitamin E. Fresh asparagus is most abundant in the spring, but it is available canned and frozen throughout the year. | | Four cups of uncooked cabbage or broccoli can provide approximately 100 mg of I3C. It may be possible that a sizable increase in C-2 estrogen could take place with a smaller intake, according to the researchers at Strang Cornell Research Center, but this theory has not yet been tested. Indoles are made more available upon cooking.
Some substances will interfere with the process of breaking down estrogen into its C-2 form. |
Isadore Rosenfeld, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower are also protective, probably because of their high beta-carotene and vitamin C content, other micronutri-ents, and fiber content. In my opinion, antioxidants may protect against cancer too, perhaps because they prevent the cell membranes from being attacked and broken down. Finally, fiber in the diet causes the stool to be larger and bulkier and more quickly passed so that any cancer-causing substance that is present has less contact with the bowel. |

They found that the relative risk of lung cancer was markedly decreased in those who included fruits and raw vegetables in their daily fare.
Experts recommend that for optimum protection, smokers eat seven half-cup servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

See book keywords and concepts |  The richest sources of vitamin Kl are dark green leafy vegetables: broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, and green tea. Other good sources are asparagus, oats, whole wheat, and fresh green peas.
In addition to vitamin Kl, the high levels of many minerals in green leafy vegetables, such as calcium and boron, may also be responsible for this protective effect. Boron is a trace mineral that has gained recent attention as a protective factor against osteoporosis. | | To ensure that acetylation is working adequately, eat foods rich in B-vitamins (yeast, whole grains) and vitamin C (peppers, cabbage, citrus fruits).
Glucuronidation
Glucuronidation—the combining of glucuronic acid with toxins—requires the enzyme UDP-glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT). Many of the commonly prescribed drugs are detoxified through this important pathway. It also helps to detoxify aspirin, menthol, vanillin (synthetic vanilla), food additives such as benzoates, and some hormones. |
