See book keywords and concepts |  Huge quantities of foods in the cabbage family can suppress thyroid function as well, but this is extremely rare.
Standard treatment for hypothyroidism consists of prescription synthetic thyroid hormone. Natural thyroid hormone is much more efficacious, but this has become increasingly difficult to obtain. Patients may be started on the lowest possible dosage of thyroid hormone and gradually built up. Improvements should be noticeable after 30 days, with full effects occurring after 90. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It was the cabbage family that was first highlighted in this new and exciting field of phytochemicals. Although the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, taught us 2400 years ago "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food", modern medicine has only recently begun to accept the importance of this ancient truth. For instance, researchers in the Cold War era of 1950 fed two different groups of animals either beets or cabbage and then exposed them to radiation. The animals fed cabbage had much less hemorrhaging and death from radiation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  All of the vegetables in the entire cabbage family, as well as asparagus, lettuce, and the already-mentioned liver, are high in vitamin K; these foods should be eaten only in modest quantities by anyone on
Coumadin. Periodic blood tests (prothrombin times) are also a good idea.
Although it is not usually thought of as rich in vitamin K, large quantities of avocado can also reduce the effectiveness of Coumadin.25 As with vitamin-K-rich foods, overindulging could be a mistake with serious consequences. |

Common Food Sources That Cause Goiter
• Members of the cabbage family (Bras-s/'ca species) including cabbage, turnip, rutabaga, and kale
• Cassava root (Manihot species), millet, peanuts, pine nuts, and raw soybeans
• Milk from cows that have eaten goitro-gens
• Dietary excess of calcium or fluorine
• High levels of indigestible crude fiber, which may bind the thyroxine secreted in the bile and prevent its reabsorption various strong-tasting components. These preparations are highly concentrated vegetables. | | The cooking process is thought to inactivate many of the vegetable goitrogens, such as cabbage family plants, so only raw forms of these foods need to be avoided. Some herbs affect thyroid function in a variety of ways, and they can be used to treat thyroid disorders when prescribed by a qualified practitioner. These plants may raise, lower, or regulate thyroid function. |
Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Several times a week, pick something from the cabbage family, such as Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, asparagus, cabbage, broccoli, or cauliflower.
• Add leftover vegetables from last night's dinner to lunchtime soups and salads or add frozen vegetables to canned soups.
• For shish-kabob, skewer more vegetables (including carrots, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, onions, potato, or mushrooms) than chicken or fish. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Kale and the Georgia collard (same Latin binomial) are probably very closely related to the wild cabbage, having been in cultivation for many centuries. It is an annual in culture, but produces its seedstalk the second year. The leaves are longer than broad, very curly, and the margins are very much cut and ruffled.
There are two types of kale: the Scotch, which has a grayish-green colored foliage, and the Siberian, which has a bluish-green color. Both tall and dwarf forms may also be had. The varieties commonly grown are the dwarf varieties, which also happen to have the greatest flavor. |
James F. Balch, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Of course it is extremely important not to damage the liver through overindulgence in alcohol. Drink in moderation (two glasses of wine or beer or two ounces of hard liquor per day is considered moderation). note: Silymarin (milk thistle) is a special flavonoid compound, exerting special protective effects on the liver.
Silymarin prevents liver damage by acting as an antioxidant. It is much more potent than either vitamin E or C. Further, it enhances the detoxification process by preventing the depletion of glutathione. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Europe for only about two hundred years. They grow on a very unusual yet attractive plant which, from a distance, looks a bit like a miniature green papaya tree. The leaves are up on the top of the plant and the tiny heads (called sprouts) completely surround the stalk. Brussels sprouts look like miniature heads of green cabbage.
Brussels sprouts thrive in cool, damp weather and for some reason are at their best when grown not too far from the ocean. Little wonder then that California is by far the number one source, but we import a fair amount from Mexico during the winter months. |
