Apples and citrus fruits were not allowed, and grains were either highly restricted or eliminated. | | Foods rich in vitamin C include broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, citrus fruits, tomatoes, and berries.
Pantothenic Acid
Whole-blood pantothenic acid levels have been reported to be lower in RA patients than in normal controls.74 In addition, disease activity was inversely correlated with pantothenic acid levels. Correction of low pantothenic acid levels to normal brought about some alleviation of symptoms.
In one double-blind study, subjective improvement was noted in patients who received 2 grams of calcium pantothenate daily. | | Eat a diet high in dietary fiber, and consume fresh cabbage juice and other vegetable juices on a regular basis.

Deglyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) The standard dosage for DGL in acute cases is two to four 380-mg chewable tablets between or twenty minutes before meals. | | These foods are known as goitro-gens, and include such foods as turnips, cabbage, mustard, cassava root, soybeans, peanuts, pine nuts, and millet. Cooking usually inactivates goitrogens.
Currently, the most frequent cause of hypothyroidism in the United States is an autoimmune disease known as Hashimoto's disease. In this disease, antibodies are formed that bind to the thyroid and prevent the manufacture of sufficient levels of thyroid hormone. | Grace Ross Lewis See book keywords and concepts | TABASCO captan_

Smaller amounts of other vegetables are often juiced with carrots for variety and for the benefit of their specific properties. The cleansing, healing traits of fruit, vegetable, and cereal grass juices in a fast act more quickly than water alone.
B. | Phyllis A. Balch, CNC See book keywords and concepts | Foods rich in carotenoids, such as dark-green leafy vegetables and yellow and orange fruits and vegetables; foods rich in sulphoraphanes, such as broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts; and food and herbs rich in flavonoids, such as berries, green tea, and grapes, all counteract cancer at the initiation stage.
The next step of carcinogenesis is promotion. During this stage, the DNA-damaged cells are triggered by certain nutrients and their byproducts to multiply. | | A recent study of 47,909 men found that eating broccoli and cabbage on a regular basis (five or more servings per week) significantly reduces the risk of bladder cancer.
—J Reduce your consumption of charcoal-grilled meats and fish. These foods contain heterocyclic amines (HCA), which are linked to bladder cancer. HCAs are formed from creatine, a protein that is destroyed by microwave cooking. Therefore, if you must eat charcoal-grilled meats or fish, microwave the meat for one minute before grilling. | | After you are out of immediate danger, you can consume at least 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily, most of it in the form of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale), parsley, spinach, strawberries, and turnips. Vitamin C's antioxidant effect short-circuits the production of inflammatory chemicals that set off spasms in the coronary arteries.
Q Avoid consuming more than three or four servings of carbohydrates at any single meal. | | Cabbage is a widely used treatment for peptic and duodenal ulcers. Clinical studies have found that it normalizes the secretion of stomach acid and digestive enzymes. Echinacea angustifolia, in addition to stimulating the immune system, is strongly anti-inflammatory. Geranium has an astringent action that causes proteins in the lining of the intestines to cross-link, promoting the healing of ulcers. Goldenseal contains berberine, which inhibits the growth of many disease-causing bacteria, and marshmallow root contains healing mucilages that coat the entire digestive tract. | | Saw Palmetto
Latin name: Serenoa repens (Arecaceae [palm] family)
Other common names: American dwarf palm tree, cabbage palm, sabal, serenoa
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Saw palmetto is a low-growing North American palm. It grows wild mainly as isolated plants in the coastal regions of the Carolinas and the Gulf Coast states, and in saw palmetto thickets in Texas. The part of the plant used in medicine is the berry, which has a nutty vanillalike flavor.
EVIDENCE OF BENEFIT
American physicians recognized the usefulness of saw palmetto in hormonal regulation as early as 1856. | | Since cabbage juice can cause flatulence, start with a smaller dosage Q4 cup) and work up to a larger dosage as your system becomes accustomed to it.
-J Use fermented milk products, such as yogurt, rather than skim or whole milk. Fermented milk products reduce the risk of ulcers, while unfermented milk products increase the risk.
Ll Drink black or green tea as a beverage. Both kinds of tea contain catechins, which reduce histamine levels and inhibit H. pylori. Green tea catechins can be taken in supplement form; doses of up to 5,000 milligrams per day are helpful. | Grace Ross Lewis See book keywords and concepts | These vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, and brussel sprouts. They have been shown to be chemoprotective against cancer of the breast, liver, esophagus, lung, intestine, and bladder.
61. Is it true that tea can be a cancer preventative?
Many epidemiological studies have shown that green and black tea phenolics inhibit esophageal cancer. It is thought that tea can be beneficial in other ways as well. Studies are currently being conducted.
62. What are the beneficial chemicals in citrus peels and cherries?
They are monoterpenes. | Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | These are high in vitamins A and E. cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable which is also high in vitamin C. The American Cancer Society's epidemiological studies indicate that diets high in cruciferous vegetables are associated with less cancer incidence.
The lactobacilli organisms found in fermented foods are very high in enzymes, which add to our overall enzyme bank when they are taken into the system. These organisms help with the digestion and conversion of starches and sugars in the vegetables to lactic and acetic acid in our colon. | Kathi Keville See book keywords and concepts | The magic ingredient in cabbage is sometimes called the antiulcer U factor. Its technical name is glutamine, and this compound is also available in capsules. Glutamine has proved to be a better ulcer cure than antacids. In one study, the ulcers of half the participants disappeared in only two weeks, and those of almost all the rest were healed in four weeks.
One herbal combination with a long history of curing ulcers is Robert's Formula. Not much is known about Robert. He was probably a physician, but legend has it that he was a sailor who suffered from severe stomach ulcers. | Isadore Rosenfeld, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | The best-known examples are cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. There is a new hybrid variety called brocci-flower, which is a paler green than broccoli—it looks almost like cauliflower—and has a very pleasant taste. (I wonder whether former President Bush has tried it.) Cruciferous vegetables contain several natural cancer inhibitors that lower the risk of gastrointestinal and respiratory tract malignancies. In some experiments, animals fed a diet rich in these vegetables and then given cancer-producing chemicals did not develop malignancies. | | You want lots of foods rich in vitamins, and that means the dark green, leafy variety and cruciferous vegetables—broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and cabbage. However, other greens are good for you too. Red, yellow, and orange vegetables and fruits also reduce cancer risk because they are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. (My wife makes a wonderful dish of bok choi with mustard greens, rutabagas, and turnips.)
In summary, don't be nihilistic about cancer. As with heart disease, there are risk factors that you can avoid. | | Soluble fiber is found primarily in oats, oat cereal, oat bran, barley, legumes such as lentils and soybeans, vegetables including artichokes, beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, onions, and squash, and fresh fruit such as apples, apricots, bananas, berries, dates, peaches, pears, and prunes. The richest sources of soluble fiber are oat bran and psyllium (commercially available as Metamucil, Fiber-All, and other brands). | | But who eats dehydrated cabbage?) And there are so many other delicious high-fiber foods to feast on—dates, apples, peaches, cauliflower, and a variety of nuts, to name but a few. Here is an ideal, fiber-rich sample menu, but you can devise an equally good one yourself: for breakfast, a glass of orange juice, 3A cup of bran flakes (containing 5 grams of crude fiber), and two slices of whole wheat toast (almost 4 grams of crude fiber). At lunch, in addition to the main course, have two more slices of whole wheat bread, a green salad, and four or five dates, prunes, or dried figs. | Dr. Gary Null See book keywords and concepts | Foods often associated with migraine attack include cow's milk, which in a study was recorded as a problem in 10 out of 17 patients; eggs, flour, and cabbage (in 5 patients), cottage and Swiss cheese, preservatives, and pork (in 4 patients), chocolate and colorants (3 patients), and beef, strawberries, lemons, and butter (3 patients). Elimination diets were shown to be effective in limiting migraine attacks.
D. Mylek, "Migrena Jako Jedenz Objawow Alergii Pokar-mowej" [Migraine as one of the Symptoms of Food Allergy], Pol.Tyg. Lek. 47, no. 3-4 (January 20-27, 1992): 89-91. | Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Raw cultured vegetables are balanced in terms of yin and yang and are less vata-aggravating than plain raw cabbage.
Recipes for making cultured vegetables are found in Part IV. For those of you who are unable to make your own cultured vegetables, one of the best commercial sources of raw cultured vegetables is Rejuvenative Foods at 800-805-7957. They have a delightful variety of veggie combinations. Dairy and Food Labs found 5.5 million lactobacilli per gram in their Vegi-Delight Live Zing salad. | Bill Gottlieb See book keywords and concepts | CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES: On Your Plate or in a Pill
Memorize these words for more manliness: broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower. These are the cruciferous vegetables, and they're good for you in ways that your mother never imagined.
"All the cruciferous vegetables contain compounds called indoles, which help break down estrogen more efficiently so it doesn't build up in the system and depress or destroy testosterone," Dr. Shippen says. He recommends eating three or four servings of cruciferous vegetables a week. | Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Excellent leafy green sources of calcium, which are also low in oxalates, are kale, collards, mustard greens, broccoli, and cabbage. According to the USDA publication Nutritive Value of American Foods, two-thirds cup of col-lard greens has 91% of the calcium in a cup of milk. According to the Composition of Foods Book published by the USDA, other nondairy sources of calcium that are approximately equal to collard greens are almonds and kelp. Sesame seeds that have been hulled, sunflower seeds, and tofu have about one-half as much calcium as collard greens. | Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | Good food sources of choline include eggs, soybeans, cabbage, peanuts, and cauliflower. Take up to 3 mg. of choline daily.
DHA
There's a reason why fish is known as brain food. It is a rich source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a fatty acid that is found in high concentration in the gray matter of the brain. DHA is instrumental in the function of brain cell membranes, which are important for the transmission of brain signals. Over the past century, there has been a steady decline in DHA consumption. Take three 250-mg. capsules daily. | Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Good vegetables for kaphas are pungent and bitter ones, such as asparagus, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, eggplant, leafy greens, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, parsley, peas, peppers, white potatoes, spinach, and all types of sprouts.
Fruits that are drying and astringent, such as pears, apples, and pomegranates, are preferred. Fruit juices can be taken if they are diluted by 33 to 50%. Sour juices such as orange are best taken in minimal amounts. Bananas, if spiced with herbs like dried ginger, are neutral for kapha. |
