He found the most "flatulogenic" for him to be milk and its products, onions, beans, celery, carrots, raisins, bananas, apricots, prune juice, pretzels, bagels, wheat germ, and brussels sprouts. By avoiding them, he dramatically reduced his abdominal gas and was able to resume a normal life. I am not suggesting that you dedicate yourself this way for two years in order to manage your excessive gas. There are, however, certain less-complicated steps you can take.

Late spring and summer is a time to maximize raw foods, sprouts, salads, greens, fruits, and vegetables in the diet. It is a time to minimize grain and dairy. Stimulants such as coffee and tobacco are best avoided. It's a time for less heating grains and beans. In the Chinese system summer corresponds to the fire element. The heart and small intestine meridians are the most easily unbalanced. Hawthorn berry is a good herb to take occasionally to support the heart, as well as peppermint, tansy, and sorrel. Although ginger is good for the heart, it is also heating and thus best taken in the fall.

You want lots of foods rich in vitamins, and that means the dark green, leafy variety and cruciferous vegetables—broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and cabbage. However, other greens are good for you too. Red, yellow, and orange vegetables and fruits also reduce cancer risk because they are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. (My wife makes a wonderful dish of bok choi with mustard greens, rutabagas, and turnips.) In summary, don't be nihilistic about cancer. As with heart disease, there are risk factors that you can avoid.

Cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower are also protective, probably because of their high beta-carotene and vitamin C content, other micronutri-ents, and fiber content.

Finally, fiber in the diet causes the stool to be larger and bulkier and more quickly passed so that any cancer-causing substance that is present has less contact with the bowel.

Some sources of folic acid are legumes, orange juice, oatmeal, spinach, beets, broccoli, and brus-sels sprouts.

Kids will scowl when you serve brussels sprouts. And when you're in the throes of an end-of-the-day headache, the little arrows on the pill bottle will never line up. Despite this fact, most people turn to over-the-counter pain relievers for headache relief.
