Alcoholism
Alcoholism is frequently made worse by nutritional deficiencies. In fact, in a study, lab rats that were denied B vitamins and macro-minerals such as calcium and magnesium quickly became alcoholic when given the choice between plain water versus water with 10 percent alcohol. |
| There are powerful anticancer compounds in fresh sprouts, especially if you sprout broccoli or cabbage and eat those sprouts raw and fresh. That is some of the most potent anticancer medicine found on this planet.
You can further reduce the risk of cancers to a cumulative 70 percent reduction by adding things like zinc, garlic, ginger, and herbs like gravida from the Amazon rainforest. To further improve your picture, avoid the consumption of foods that promote cancer such as packaged, processed meats, which contain cancer-causing sodium nitrate. |

| HISTORY
Kale is a descendent of the wild cabbage, a plant thought to have originated in Asia Minor and to have been brought to Europe around 600 b.c.e. Curly kale was a significant crop in ancient Rome and a popular vegetable eaten by peasants throughout the Middle Ages. Kale was brought to the United States by English settlers in the 1600s. Today in the United States, kale and collards are grown primarily on the East Coast from Delaware to Florida.
NUTRITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Kale is among the most highly nutritious vegetables. |
| Nourishing and easily digested, the cabbage (actually the buds cut from the top of the tree), called ubod, is a cooling diuretic that is often served as a salad vegetable and is also used to make pickles (achara) and a native stew called gulay.
• The astringent flowers are used in the treatment of dysentery, urinary infection, diabetes, and leprosy, while the unopened flower stalks are distilled to produce a spirit called arrak.
• The fibers of the trunk are used as a diuretic, in the treatment of tapeworm, and to soothe an inflamed throat. |

 Counting only effective carbs, you could easily have 1 cup of broccoli, 1 cup of cabbage, 3 celery ribs, 1 cup of green beans, 1 cup of lettuce, lA cup of mushrooms, 1 cup of zucchini, 1 cup of spinach, and 1 cup of raspberries in one day on phase one. Even though the total carb content of these foods is about 44 grams, 16 of them are fiber—subtracting the 16 from the 44 (all done for you in the charts) leaves you with only 28 grams of usable (effective) carbohydrate, well under the cutoff for phase one and not even close to the cutoff for phase two. |

 Top with guacamole, salsa, cabbage or lettuce, and tofu sour cream. Eat out of hand with lots of napkins!
Note: If the tortillas are frozen, heat them between two microwaveable plates on high for about 1 minute, then turn over the plates and heat for 1 minute longer. You can soften thawed or fresh tortillas in a hot, dry pan; grill them quickly just until soft; or wrap them in a clean kitchen towel moistened with hot water, then wrap them in foil and place them in the oven until all are heated. |

 Emergency appetite control food #2
The next best strategy is to turn to green vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, bokchoy, and other leafy vegetables. They have so few calories that in my own diet, I don't even count them. That's right: I allow myself to eat an unlimited quantity of any green leafy vegetables without even recording the number of calories I have consumed. In my book, they are "free" foods.
It takes just as many calories for your body to digest them as you get out of the foods themselves. |

| In a Korean study, researchers discovered that eating spinach and cabbage reduced the risk of stomach cancer, while eating broiled meats and salty foods increased the risk.
Herbs and spices. If you need another reason to give up salty foods, look no farther than these flavorful mealtime additions. Basil, rosemary, turmeric, ginger, and parsley add zing to any dish, as well as a hefty load of flavonoids and other powerful antioxidants. Herbal experts say fresh herbs are much more potent than the dried variety.
Onions. Half an onion a day keeps stomach cancer away. |

 Food Therapy
Eat more cabbage, says Allan Magaziner, D.O., a nutritional medicine specialist and head of the Magaziner Medical Center in Cherry HiU, New Jersey.
"Cabbage contains a lot of glutamine, an amino acid that has been shown to heal ulcers." His recommendation: Have at least one healthy serving of steamed cabbage each day for two weeks.
Hydrotherapy
For temporary relief of gastric ulcer pain, nothing beats activated charcoal, says Agatha Thrash, M.D., a medical pathologist and co-founder and co-director of Uchee Pines Institute, a natural healing center in Seale, Alabama. |

| In general, foods with the highest aluminum levels are acidic: tomatoes, cranberries, rhubarb, apricots, cabbage, and apples. Adding baking soda to these foods releases yet more aluminum. Major sources of aluminum include processed cheese, teas, some herbs, spices, and some commercial salt.
Aluminum utensils, cans, aluminum foil, and other aluminum containers all pose a risk for aluminum absorption into foods. It is known that dark-colored utensils contain more aluminum than do light ones, and the presence of sugar inhibits the corrosion of aluminum utensils. |

| Mustard plants are cruciferous vegetables related to broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. While there are approximately forty different varieties of mustard plants, there are three principal types used to make mustard seeds: black mustard (Brassica nigra), white mustard (Brassica alba), and brown mustard (Brassica juncea). Black mustard seeds have the strongest flavor, while "white" mustard seeds (which actually have a yellowish color), are the mildest and are the ones used to make American yellow mustard. |

| The Nurses' Health Study, which involved seventy-five thousand women ages thirty-four to fifty-nine followed for fourteen years (beginning in 1976), found that one serving a day of cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and cabbage) reduced stroke incidence by 32 percent.304 1 have already said that anything less than five servings of fruits and vegetables a day provides no health benefits, and it is important to note that this study focused on the most nutrient-dense vegetables. |

 Although hundreds of different varieties of cabbage existed at one time, most of them have now disappeared, probably because of commercial pressures involving crop standardization and productivity. It should be noted that the mustard plant, watercress, and radish are also cruciferous vegetables, as are the oleaginous species of colza and its Canadian cousin, canola. |

Iron and Disease
I have already noted that iron plays a vital role in the development, growth, and spread of cancer.554 Several experiments have shown that iron also increases the development of cancer in experimental animals exposed to carcinogenic chemicals. Even slight elevations in iron intake—at levels considered to be normal—significantly increase cancer growth. |

 A primary appeal of the exchange lists continues to be the flexibility offered to the health professional in planning macronutrient-controlled diets for patients. If combined with the minimum recommended number of servings from MyPyramid, the exchange lists provide an attractive alternative for a health professional who wishes to work with a client to design a meal plan that is nutritionally adequate as well as individually tailored for the client's specific macronutrient goals.

 If juicing cabbage does not fit into your busy schedule, you can purchase dehydrated, raw cabbage powder at natural food stores.
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. |

 Food sources include cooked dried beans and peas, nutritional yeast, beef liver, wheat germ, nuts, bananas, avocados, leafy greens, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, whole grains, dried fruit, fish, and venison. Supplementation through a multivitamin is essential in most cases to ensure sufficient levels are received. Vitamin B6 is toxic to the nervous system when taken in supplements in doses above 1,000 milligrams. |

 Brassicas: cabbage, cauliflower, and other brassica family vegetables have been known to be antithyroid in high dosages. In animal studies, boiled extracts showed maximum inhibition of thyroid peroxidase activity followed by cooked and raw extracts. Excess iodide was able to counteract its effects but not neutralize it.8
Traditional Chinese Medicine
The Chinese concept of hyperthyroidism is that there is usually an underlying deficiency of QI (vital energy) and yin (feminine energy), with an excess of heat, especially in the heart meridian. |
| Rabbits fed on a cabbage diet develop goiter, due to content of sulfaguanidine. A Chinese herb from this plant family, sinapis (mustard seed), is sometimes used in hyperthyroid formulas because of its phlegm-resolving quality. Another seed, raphanus (radish seed), has been shown to influence iodotyrosine content of the thyroid gland, suggesting disruption of thyroxin synthesis when the herb is fed to rats for a long period of time. |

| You may need to pass on beans, broccoli, and cabbage, which can cause gas. Certain other fruits and vegetables, if eaten raw, may cause distress as well.
Drink plenty of the right liquids. Water helps ease the fiber through your system. Peppermint or chamomile tea can help, too, by soothing muscle spasms.
But carbonated beverages, caffeinated drinks of all kinds, and decaffeinated coffee may bring on gas pains.
Be selective about sweeteners. Sugar-free sweeteners, like sorbitol and mannitol, can give you gas. Sucrose, found naturally in fruits and honey, can also be a problem for some. |

| One mistake people often make, especially those who juice, is to eat only their favorite fruits or vegetables, often overlooking nutrient-dense vegetables, such as kale, cabbage, celery, or broccoli. In general, you should use more vegetables than fruits, and if you have cancer, diabetes or Candida yeast infection, it is wise to avoid fruits altogether.
Following is a list of highly nutritious fruits and vegetables that you should include in your diet—whether or not you are making a blended mix. |
