The red and purple vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, red cabbage, berries, and plums, contain a large portion of non-vitamin A-active pigments, including flavonoids. Legumes, grains, and seeds are also significant sources of carotenoids. Carotenoids are also found in various animal foods, such as salmon and other fish, egg yolks, shellfish, milk, and poultry. Carotenoids are frequently added to foods as colorants. Table 67.1 lists carotenoids with provitamin A activity found in common food sources, while Table 67.2 lists some important carotenoids that have no vitamin A activity.

This helps to explain why consumption of cabbage family vegetables protects against cancer. Oranges and tangerines (as well as the seeds of caraway and dill) contain limonene, a phytochemical that has been found to prevent and even treat cancer in animal models.24 Limonene's protective effects are probably due to the fact that it is a strong inducer of both phase I and phase II detoxification enzymes that neutralize carcinogens. Inhibitors of phase I detoxification Many substances inhibit cytochrome P450.

Following what it calls a "common sense approach," the ACS began advocating the following measures: (1) avoid obesity; (2) cut down on total fat intake; (3) eat more high-fiber foods such as whole grain cereals, fruits and vegetables; (4) include foods rich in vitamins A and C in your daily diet; (5) include cruciferous vegetables (such as cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, kohlrabi and cauliflower) in your diet; (6) eat moderately of salt-cured, smoked and nitrite-cured foods; and (7) keep alcohol consumption moderate, if you do drink (ACS, 1988).

Then he discovered that when he began to eat lots of raw vegetables with every meal—tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, radishes and more—his migraine headaches stopped. Soybean lecithin can relieve migraines. One woman says that if she takes an extra-large dose of lecithin as soon as the headache starts, it disappears right then and there. Just taking some daily makes headaches much milder. One woman who uses the same method says she has not taken one Fiorenal tablet since starting. Spinach is loaded with enzymes that break down headache-causing chemicals.

In descending order, here are the best bets: 100% Bran cereal, Bran Buds cereal, All-Bran cereal, Bran Chex, baked beans, apples, broccoli, spinach, blackberries, almonds, kidney beans, cabbage, shredded wheat and peas. Bran flakes, the kind people usually buy in bags in health food stores, offer 1.6 grams of fiber per tablespoon. Regardless of sheer amount, are any kinds of fiber better than others? Probably. While much is still being learned about fiber, one thing that seems pretty clear is that different fibers do different jobs.

Eichenlaub also advises people with constipation to avoid "like the plague" raw vegetables, cabbage and bran cereals, on the grounds that they are "dry-bulk" foods. Again, perhaps he did not know this in 1960, but it is just these foods that are today recommended as the very best preventive and cure for chronic constipation, when taken with sufficient water or juice. Another bit of bad advice is telling people to cut their own corns and calluses with a razor blade unless they have "diabetes or disease of the arteries." Even if you don't have these diseases, self-surgery is always dangerous.

He tells patients with arthritis to avoid absolutely all white sugar, white flour, cheese, cabbage, and all dairy products unless they are fermented. He encourages consumption of raw or steamed vegetables and drinking six glasses of spring water a day. Although from a purely logical point of view, one might imagine that people would seek drugless therapy before pharmaceuticals and surgery, this is usually not the case. Dr.

Cheney treated his ulcer patients with cabbage juice and found that 62 out of 65 of his patients responded in half the time necessary for the usual type ulcer therapy. Following Cheney, other reports on vitamin U studies began to appear. In 1954, George Kohler discovered that alfalfa was a good source of this important vitamin. In 1960, two German scientists studied the inhibitory effects of vitamin U on ulcer formation in dogs.

Cellulosics and Hemicellulosics include those non-digestible portions of many plants, including Bran, cereals, grains, beans, peppers, carrots and cabbage, that absorb water, and increase in bulk (the key word). They have a normalizing effect on the bowel, prevent constipation by accelerating the passage of material through the large intestine, and protect the body from several diseases, including cancer, colitis, and spastic colon. 2. Gums include the extremely water loving material found in oats, guar, Irish Moss and locust beans, to name a few.

The method used in one reported case was a diet of raw vegetables sweetened with honey and lime: spinach, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, fresh tomatoes and whole wheat bread. The person who used it said that a year later the doctors could not find a trace of sugar, and now, years later, he can eat anything on the table and do more work than any man his age (70).

Lots of fresh vegetables and herbs were served to him, including dill, parsley, cabbage, carrots and lots of garlic, which Soviet doctors consider very beneficial to the heart. At the end of the stay, Boris was discharged weighing four kilograms (about nine pounds) less, feeling deeply refreshed, and with his blood pressure down substantially. He was told that the benefit of his visit would last six to eight months, but if he followed his doctor's advice, watched his diet, relaxed and exercised regularly, he could get the better of his circulation problem and prolong his life substantially.

A man with an acute peptic ulcer—awaiting surgery—was told by his doctor to drink a quart of fresh cabbage juice (four glasses) daily, for immediate relief. In a few days, he felt so good surgery was avoided. Comfrey, a common tea, possesses extraordinary healing powers due to a substance in it called allantoin. It can heal bleeding ulcers. In one miraculous case, a man suffering pain after food, vomiting of blood and other ulcer symptoms, with nc relief from medicines, finally agreed to an operation. He nearly died on the operating table, and surgery had to be stopped (the ulcer remaining).

Some sulphur-based pulps, most notably cabbage, kale, and onion, make ideal dressings for serious burn injuries and can be changed every few hours. The sulphur helps to disinfect the injury and promote rapid tissue regeneration if the burn isn't too extensive or deep. Carrot, cucumber, pumpkin and squash pulps are excellent for skin inflammations, due either to particular ailments like eczema, psoriasis or shingles, or else to sunburn. They exert a very cooling effect and are, therefore, also quite beneficial in fevers when placed upon the forehead, chest, and abdomen.

It is usually diluted with a little cabbage, celery, parsley, or watercress juice. Fatty Liver Disease. This is a buildup of fat deposits in the liver, causing it to become enlarged. Diabetes, Reye's syndrome, obesity, chemical toxins, and high fat intake are responsible for this condition. The sulphur amino acids in radish juice help to break up the fat deposits in the liver. The juice should be made fresh every day, not stored for any length of time in the refrigerator. Also, radish juice must be diluted with a secondary vegetable juice (e.g., carrot, chlorophyll, tomato).

Much has already been discussed about the mineral sulphur under the cabbage juice section. Since a woman is more prone to rheumatoid arthritis, glandular disturbances, and hormonal imbalances than a man is, the amount of sulphur she receives by drinking a small glass of mustard greens juice every other day will help to reduce her risks of having problems.

One quart daily of fresh cabbage juice, taken in divided doses, can be enormously effective. In one study, patients taking this amount had total healing of their ulcers in ten days. Though stress is no longer considered the only cause of peptic ulcers, it's clear that stress, or the way we react to it, does play a role. Regular exercise is a good antidote for stress, as are breathing exercises and various relaxation techniques (see Stress Control, page 314).

Kale, a member of the cabbage family, is one of the most nutritious of all vegetables. There are two basic varieties, "Russian" kale, which has a purple-green color and smooth, relatively tender leaves, and "regular" kale, which is gray-green and has tightly curled leaves. Both are excellent sources of antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and iron. For a quick and easy vegetable dish, chop kale into bite-sized pieces and steam until tender. (Discard thick stems or cut them up and saute them for a few minutes before adding the more tender leaves.

The cruciferous vegetables—such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower—also contain other sulfur compounds not related to amino acids that have been identified as important contributors to the body's natural detoxification processes. Given the range of food choices, it appears understandable why a sulfur deficiency is assumed to be nonexistent. Beyond the assumption, however, there is little evidence. Medical science knows a good deal about deficiencies of many vitamins and minerals, but not about sulfur.
