Days three and four were to consist of boiled cabbage, carcots, turnips, and beets. He recommended that I only partially cook these vegetables and to do so in beef broth rather than in water. In his own 60 years of veterinary practice he found that this appealed more to animals' finicky tastes than did cooking such items in plain water. Nothing was salted since the beef broth itself had sufficient salts in it for flavor. (One would merely substitute some clear fish broth for beef broth when administering the same program to cats with skin problems.

Garlic directly destroys cancer cells in petri dishes. cabbage stimulates excretion in women of a type of estrogen that boosts breast cancer. Broccoli contains compounds that help rid the body of cancer-causing chemicals. Soybeans contain several chemicals, including genistein, that modify hormonal activity that promotes breast and prostate cancer. Fish oil revs up the body's natural antioxidant system. Harvard's George Blackburn finds that fish oil given to breast cancer patients before and after surgery tones down cancer activity and possible metastasis.

For two periods of four months, migraine sufferers took either a daily capsule of air-dried feverfew leaves (about two medium-sized leaves) or dried cabbage leaves, as a placebo or dummy pill. Again, the feverfew was a remarkable success; when subjects were taking the real herb, migraine occurrence dropped by one-fourth and headaches were much milder, with less vomiting and visual disturbance. That's why today you can find processed feverfew compressed into tablets and packed into capsules that equal pharmaceutical prescription drugs as antidotes to the curse of migraine headaches.

Retinoids, indoles, isothiocyanates, polyphenols, and trace minerals found in cabbage alone can inhibit breast cancer in rats. Scientists at the NCI believe that phytonutrients are active against human cancer as well. Researchers at the NCI's Diet and Cancer Branch and at the American Heart Association (AHA) have just begun to understand how phytonutrients can halt and even reverse the growth of cancerous cells and cholesterol-filled tumors, called plaque, that cause a heart attack or stroke.

Phytonutrients found in such foods as soy, cabbage, broccoli, tofu, and meat substitutes made from soy protein resemble the chemical structure of these hormones. This molecular similarity allows them to fit into the hormone receptor on breast and prostate cells—much like a key fits a lock—to fool healthy cells into thinking they're the real thing. Since they are not as powerful as the hormones, this bait-and-switch tactic actually blocks reproductive hormones from subverting normal cell growth into the accelerated growth that turns healthy breast and prostate cells cancerous.

Harmful product: 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone Pathway 1: Phytonutrients in soy, flaxseed, salmon, broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts influence the metabolism of estradiol toward the safer pathway 1. Safe product: 2-hydroxyestrone Breast cancer Normal cell growth Estradiol can be converted to two products that differ structurally. Pathway 1 converts estradiol to a relatively safe form of estrogen called 2-hydroxyestrone. Pathway 2 metabolizes estradiol to a form of estrogen, 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone, that promotes the unchecked cellular growth that leads to breast cancer.

CARCINOGEN DETOXIFIERS Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, kale, okra, and kohlrabi, and foods such as garlic and onions contain phytonutrients that can mitigate the tumor-promoting effects of the body's own hormones and environmental toxins, or xenobiotics (literally: foreign to life). Many of these sulfur-containing phytonutrients can tame the powerful cancer-promoting hormone estradiol (chemically related to estrogen) and help eliminate it from the body. Other phytonutrients found in crucifers help detoxify the xenobiotics in the food, water, and air that we ingest.

Lee Wattenberg, a professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School, was the first to discover that Brussels sprouts, along with cabbage and broccoli, are chock-full of substances called indoles — potent preventers of cancer. These vegetables put your body's natural detoxification mechanisms into high gear, helping to clean out the toxic substances that accumulate and cause cancer. In seven of the largest-scale cancer studies done in Greece, Norway, Japan, Israel and the U.S., Brussels sprouts were shown again and again to fight colon cancer, a leading cause of death in older men.

One teaspoon of psyllium seeds (an herbal laxative sold in any drugstore) soaked in a cup of water, three bran muffins a day (be sure to buy the low-fat kind—most commercial muffins are unhealthy because they're loaded with fat) or a few servings a day of carrots, cabbage, apples, grapefruit, pinto or navy beans or agar will do the trick. You will probably find that herbalists will recommend all of these, since they generally find that the line between medicinal herbs and foods is a thin one. Even the natural fungicide in grape skins increases good cholesterol and lowers the bad.

RAW SAUERKRAUT Raw sauerkraut, as opposed to the regular commercial variety, which is cooked or pasteurized, contains not only the nutrients of fermented cabbage, but also the enzymes and friendly bacteria that assist in the digestive process and in intestinal health. (For a further discussion, see pages 100 and 152.) It takes only a few bites of raw sauerkraut to serve these healthful purposes. Raw sauerkraut is available in the refrigerated section of many health food stores and co-ops, or you may want to make it yourself and witness the fermentation process.

Food sources of vitamin E include expeller-pressed unrefined vegetable and seed oils, raw seeds and nuts, dates, organ meats, raw wheat germ, green leafy vegetables, millet, oats, barley, wheat and other whole grains, soybeans, avocado, alfalfa, asparagus, and cabbage. Substances that increase the body's demand for vitamin E include rancid fats and oils, polyunsaturated fats and oils, oral contraceptives, refined flours, iron, lead, and copper. The RDA for vitamin E is 30 I.U. daily. I usually recommend a preventive dose of 400 to 800 I.U. daily.

Eat leafy greens and other vegetables, such as lettuce, carrots, turnips, summer squash, zucchini, spinach, onion, celery, cabbage, avocado (a small amount), broccoli, cauliflower, string beans, radishes, cucumbers, beets and their tops. Add sprouts to your mix of vegetables— alfalfa, fenugreek, clover, mung bean, lentil. Eat your vegetables raw as much as possible. But you may also steam the vegetables or make them into soups if your digestion cannot tolerate much raw food, or if the weather is cold.

Apples, cherries, and peaches are apparently the more contaminated fruits. • cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower are sprayed regularly, making them some of the most contaminated items among vegetables. • Dates and dried fruit are treated with methyl bromide. • Corn is soaked in sulfur dioxide, which prevents its fermentation. This chemical residue finds its way into virtually hundreds of corn-based foods, including corn syrup, corn sweetener (dextrose), cornstarch, cornmeal and flour, and corn oil.

Repetitive or excessive ingestion of high oxalate-containing foods should be minimized: beets, spinach, parsley, nuts, cabbage, almonds, rhubarb, and sesame seed products that contain the hull. • Drink plenty of fluids. Restrict intake of salt. NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS • Take vitamin A (50,000 I.U. daily for one week then 25,000 I.U. daily for healing of urinary tissues), along with vitamin C (up to 1,000 milligrams a day). (See Chapter Six for a discussion of vitamin C and oxalate excretion and necessary precautions.

Eventually, Ginger was eating carrots, celery, cabbage and parsley and taking vitamins. "Mary wrote to us [later] of [an] experiment [she conducted at home.] 'My mother, Alice Demick, is another miracle of yours! She had endured continuous bladder infections from June 1995 until March 10th. We started putting organic apple cider vinegar in our drinking water March 19th and no more bladder infections!'

Approximately one level teaspoon of this cabbage powder was then added to the liquid mixture. "It was a little tricky in the beginning," she said, "working with this stuff. If too much powder was used, it would make the mixture a thick glop that wouldn't spread evenly. I finally got it right so that the consistency was fairly even and still rather liquid." Later on, a friend of hers who also kept some cats (but not as many), mentioned what she had done for the ringworm problem in her pets. She clipped the hair away from the infected parts and dabbed on some tea-tree oil from Australia.
