| Give us, in all struggle and sputter, Our daily whole grain bread and food. Give us health, our keep to make And a bit to spare for others' sake. Give us too, a bit of song And a tale and a book, to help us along. Give us Lord, a chance to be Our goodly best for ourselves and others Until men learn to live as brothers. - An Old English Prayer

Supplemental fiber from Fiber Food Caps is another good source of natural, soluble fiber. Take 6 capsules with each meal and at least 10 oz of water. If necessary, use smaller doses at first until your digestive system adjusts to the added fiber. If gas or bloating occurs, reduce the dose until tolerance is achieved.

5. COLD or EXPELLER-PRESSED VEGETABLE OILS:
Virgin olive oil, soy, sunflower, flax and sesame oils are excellent sources of healthy, essential, unsaturated fatty acids; but it's still wise to use all oils sparingly.
Healthy, organic foods have a wonderful abundance of potential life energy.

/ Forgo dessert—most are not only white flour-based, but also loaded with sugar.
/ Be innovative with snack choices when eating out—many popular snacks such as pretzels, muffins, bagels, cookies, and other baked goods are white flour-based. Instead, order a fresh fruit smoothie or some low-fat popcorn.
Timing
If you do not take insulin and/or sulfonylureas, careful timing of meals is not as critical, although having some consistency of meal timing is a good practice. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  In order to compensate, the government increased whole grain production and consumption, in addition to limiting livestock production and putting quotas on the sale of meat. Grain processing was stopped and only whole grain products were allowed to be sold. Farmers were directed to produce more grain, green vegetables, fruit, and dairy products instead of meat. After one year of this program the death rate dropped 40%. According to Paavo Airola, diseases that affected other European countries, including an influenza epidemic, only minimally affected Denmark. |

Heavy starches and sweets are to be avoided, as well as all stimulants and highly seasoned foods which irritate the urinary tract. Drink plenty of water to avoid constipation and soothe and cleanse all irritated membranes, says one drugless doctor.

If you absolutely cannot face food before noon, take the first dose of supplements with your lunch, and the second dose with your evening meal at least 6-8 hours later.
General Prevention
For general preventive medicine, you may wish to start with the basic supplements essential for health promotion, assuming you are in good health. These would be the Basic Multiple formula, some extra vitamins C and E, and probably some natural carotenes. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Rejuvelac (fermented seed drink): Wash 1 cup of whole grain (preferably organically grown) and cover with 2 cups of warm water. Suitable are rice, millet, rye, and other grains. Keep in a glass or porcelain container in a warm place. Pour off the liquid the next day or when it tastes slightly sour. Use as a refreshing drink on its own, but not with or after meals. The grains can then be cooked or sprouted. Use the grain ferment only if it has a pleasant taste and smell, otherwise discard it. Rejuvelac may not be suitable for sensitive and yeast-allergic individuals. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Furthermore, an evaluation of data provided by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II (a survey of the nutritional and health practices of Americans) showed that serum cholesterol levels are lowest among adults who eat whole grain cereal for breakfast.42 Interestingly, levels were highest among those who typically skipped breakfast.
Lunch
Lunch is a great time to enjoy a healthy bowl of soup, a large salad, and some whole grain bread. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The whole grain cooks easily and quickly to a cereal-like consistency, but it retains its shape and the hulls stay firm and chewy, never getting soft or mushy. Added in moderation, amaranth lends a distinctive peppery-spicy flavor that enhances the mild taste of grains like rice, buckwheat, millet, or oats. It has marvelous versatility as an ingredient in a range of dishes: breads, salads, soups, candies, pancakes, pilafs, and breakfast cereals. Adding small quantities of the whole cooked grain to batters helps baked goods retain moisture and lightness.

Astringent. | | Hulled barley, also known as groats, pot barley, and Scotch barley, is the whole grain that has gone through two pearlings to remove the inedible spikelet (two outer husks). "Hull-less" barley is a special variety that has a softer, easily removable hull. Hulled barley is the most nutritious form of the grain because the bran remains, making it rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. These light brown grains require strenuous chewing in order to be fully digested but have a pronounced, appealing flavor. | | Oil that has been pressed from the whole grain rather than just the germ is dark gold or amber in color and has a rich, buttery corn flavor and a heady, popcornlike aroma. Most commercial oil, however, is extracted from only the germ, a byproduct of such products as breakfast cereals, cornstarch, and corn syrup. This pallid oil is then further filtered, deodorized, and bleached for commercial sale, giving consumers a bland, tasteless product. Half the corn oil produced is usually made into margarine and the rest processed as salad or cooking oil, mayonnaise, salad dressings, or shortening. | | Rolled oats made from the whole grain are subject to tancidity within one to thtee months after milling; thus it is advisable to store any bulk quantities that will not be used within one month below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Steel-cut oats, also known as Scotch or Irish oats, are natural, unrefined oat groats that have been processed with a minimal amount of heat by steel blades, which cut them into two ot three small pieces. These are available in coarse and fine grinds—the finer the slicing, the quicker the grain cooks. | | Puffed millet is the whole grain that is puffed under pressure. Sold in specialty food stores or natural food outlets, it is an excellent snack food, makes a light and tasty addition to puddings and bread, and is a superior breakfast cereal.
Oats
(Avena sativa)
There is great healing power in the sight of oats, the faintly blue color of their stems, the knack of each seed head to hold a single, radiant drop of moisture after rain.
—Tom Ireland, "Birds of Sorrow"
Avena is the old Latin name for the plant, while sativa means "cultivated." The English name oat comes from the Old English ate. | | Like kamut, spelt provides both the versatility and the familiarity of common wheat while delivering optimum flavor and nutrients along with a low allergenic profile. As a whole grain, it may be substituted for common wheat, and as a flour it may be substituted for whole-wheat flour in cookies, sauces, and baked goods. It is an excellent bread wheat, producing a satisfying and fine-textured bread.

Folic Acid
Folic acid (vitamin B4) is an important member of the B complex family, known for reducing harmful levels of homocysteine (a sulfur-containing amino acid) known to be a major culprit in heart disease. |
Steven G. Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews
See book keywords and concepts | | When grains are "refined" to make white flour or white rice, for example, the bran and the germ, and all their powerful nutrients, antioxidants, and phytonutrients are stripped away, leaving a starchy substance that is to whole grain what soda pop is to 100 percent fruit juice. They can make it into bread, but they can't make it healthy! |
Walter Last
See book keywords and concepts | | A young, growing leaf or plant still has a high level of growth hormones and enzyme activity, but in a mature plant or fully grown leaf there is little growth hormone and reduced enzyme activity. whole grain flour that has not been unduly heated during milling has some residual life, but inhibitors block the enzymes; enzyme activity will be enhanced and starch predigested when the wheat is made into sourdough. There is a saying in naturopathy: "Eat food that easily spoils, but eat it before it spoils. |
Stephanie Beling
See book keywords and concepts |  A note about pasta: Be aware that most commercial pasta is white bread in another form; it is processed from white flour, is not a whole grain, and is best as a bed for other PowerFoods, especially for mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers.
Whole Grains and Their PowerFoods: Wheat, Corn, Rice, and Oats
Wheat is a cereal plant of the grass family. Anthropologists suspect that early humans chewed the kernel of wild wheat as a first food. They eventually learned to pound it into flour and mix it with water to make porridge. |

Lycopene seems to reduce the risk of cancer in several ways. As a particularly powerful antioxidant, it helps block the ongoing destructive effects of the free radicals in the body. It's especially effective in this mission when sufficient vitamin E is present. Lycopene also seems to interfere with the growth factors that stimulate cancer cells to grow and proliferate. | | Use whole grain tortillas and pita bread for sandwiches and wraps.
¦ Add some oats to stuffings, meatballs, and meat loaf.
¦ Try some of the "exotic" grains as side dishes such as barley or quinoa.
¦ Look for Japanese soba buckwheat noodles. They're good in soups or cold with a sesame dressing. |
William Duffy
See book keywords and concepts |  Whole grain meant holy, healthy grain. The Japanese ideogram for peace was a mouth with a whole grain of rice in it. Waste was considered an offense against nature and the order of the universe. The Chinese child whose bowl contained leftover rice was told that any future spouse would have one pockmark for every grain wasted. In the East, grain was harvested in the fields. Stalks of rice were beaten in wooden pans to remove the outer hull. Then the rice and chaff were bounced from a cloth into the air. The wind carried off the chaff and it fell back to the soil. |
John Robbins
See book keywords and concepts |  When researchers writing in the American Journal of Public Health reported on the Iowa Women's Health Study, they found "substantially lower risk of mortality, including mortality from cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other causes" for women who eat at least one serving a day of whole grain foods compared to those who eat less.
That's from just one serving of whole grains a day. But sadly, most Americans don't get even that. In fact, 98 percent of the wheat eaten in the United States is eaten as white flour. Only 2 percent is eaten as whole wheat flour. |
Healing Children's Attention & Behavior DisordersDr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C)
See book keywords and concepts | | The rate of entry into the blood is slow, controlled, and accompanied by the nutrients in the whole grain. Each molecule of sugar released in this way comes with a package of other nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, and these are available to the body for the processing of the sugar molecules into energy and into other products.
In sharp contrast are the so-called free sugars which have already been refined, liberated from every nutritional component of the foods in which they were made. |
