For instance, if I stop to ask myself why I'm not having grapefruit or tomato juice, I would know it: was not just that I wanted something cold, since all of them are cold; and not that I wanted a citrus flavor, since both grapefruit and orange offer that. Perhaps I wanted something sweet and citrusy. Distinctions like this, in such minor but also in more important ways, make us aware of how we are. shaping our days. Both retirees and residents of nursing homes participated in this pilot study.

He also ran through some of the appalling research about taking medications with grapefruit juice. I had heard about some of this before from Dave Flockhart, who had done some of the research. While exploring the toxicity of Seldane, Flockhart had discovered that taking it with grapefruit juice dramatically increased blood levels of the antihistamine; so high, Graedon said, "that it could cause death.

Flockhart had told me that after doing that work, he believed that doctors should always warn their patients never to take any drugs with grapefruit juice, because it was too easy to accidentally overdose yourself even with standard doses. (Something in the juice inhibited the Cytochrome P450 system in the liver, Flockhart's research passion, so drugs stayed in the body much longer than normal.) At the same time, he and others at Georgetown were quietly experimenting with using the grapefruit juice effect to lower the required dose of extremely expensive drugs.

Q Limit your consumption of gas-producing foods such as beans, broccoli, and cabbage if they cause any problems. Q Avoid alcohol and tobacco; these irritate the linings of the stomach and colon. Q When an intestinal upset occurs, switch to a bland diet. Put vegetables and nonacidic fruits through a food processor or blender. Organic baby food is good. If you are on a soft diet, take some type of fiber and a protein supplement.

There are anecdotal reports from women that grapefruit seed extract will effectively cure urinary tract infections. The herb echinacea, sometimes combined with goldenseal in formulas, is an effective immune stimulant, but works best when used early on in an infection.

Still, too much of any juice—particularly orange and grapefruit juice—can be harmful. Juices can increase the acidity of the intestine and then the body. Their high potassium content can drastically increase the activation and presence of histamine. This will signal undue stress to the body, and a crisis water-rationing state will develop. The physical growth of the body of a child is an adaptive response to the stresses and demands placed on it. It grows as a result of this stress, and histamine's activities are an essential part of the process.

How many people do you suppose have been killed in a scenario similar to this one: joe is taking a calcium channel blocker long term, is temporarily put on a macrolide antibiotic to treat chronic bronchitis, then has a glass of grapefruit juice and a cup of coffee with breakfast, raising his levels of the calcium channel blocker so high that his blood pressure drops precipitously, causing heart failure. It's not an unlikely scenario.

Some fruits, such as raw apples and grapefruit, are not on this list. These fruits are exceptions because they are primarily made up of fructose rather than glucose, so they do not raise your blood glucose and insulin levels. They can be considered rectangle foods when eaten in their raw, unprocessed state. Processing changes their structure, however, so apple or grapefruit juice and applesauce are still listed here and must be linked with protein. We will discuss this further in the section on glycemic response on page 72.

For example, a few years ago it was discovered that grapefruit juice affects the liver enzyme system that metabolizes certain drugs. The effect is strong enough that sensitive people can overdose on the prescription drugs if they are frequently taken in combination with grapefruit juice. Since that discovery, researchers have learned that substances in broccoli, cauliflower, wheat, corn, coffee, tea, and tobacco also affect this liver enzyme system. There are certainly many other discoveries to be made in this emerging science, and some of these may involve herbs or nutritional supplements.

Grapefruit Seed Extract This extract is made from the seed, pulp, and inner rind of grapefruit. Studies show the extract fights several types of fungi, including those that infect the skin. You can apply the liquid concentrate to the skin three times a day until the infection clears, then two times a day for another week. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) These two common spices are antifungal, according to the German Commission E, that country's version of the Food and Drug Administration. Studies show that both herbs inhibit fungi that commonly infect the skin.

Vitamin C complex is similar to what is found in nature.
