| Unfortunately, water's affinity for chemicals extends to pollutants as well, and the consequences of that attraction often create headlines.
• In the early 1980s, more than 1,000 private wells and five community water supplies in Suffolk County, New York, were found to exceed recommended guidelines for the pesticide Aldicarb. Aldicarb, which can impair the central nervous system, had been applied to potato crops and then seeped into groundwater. The state health department recommended that residents buy bottled water or install water-filtration systems capable of removing organic pollutants. |

The Hydrogenation Process
Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats are vegetable or seed oils that have been subjected to elaborate processing. Hydrogenating an oil means saturating its carbon molecules with hydrogen. This is accomplished under tremendous pressure at temperatures of up to 410°F in the presence of a metal catalyst (nickel, platinum, copper) for as long as eight hours.
A liquid oil can be transformed into a solid or semisolid fat by adjusting the length of the hydrogenation process. |

Groups of Korean scientists have examined the effects of Korean red ginseng in patients with HIV infection in a series of open trials.151'-153 These trials suffer from poor experimental design but they do suggest that the value of ginseng in this disorder should be examined further. In one of these studies, the influence of a daily intake of 5.4 g of red ginseng powder on prognostic markers was assessed in 23 patients after 3 and 6 months. The following significant changes were noted at 6 months: decreased lymphocyte percentage (p<0. |

 Garcha, 1993). The main fatty acid in the fruit-body is oleic acid (Solomko, 1984), and the saturated to unsaturated fatty acid ratio is 14 (saturated) to 86 (unsaturated) (Bano & Rajarathnam, 1988). A lectin has also been described from the fruiting body
(Conrad & Riidiger, 1994). The major organic acids in the fruiting bodies include formic, malic, acetic (the most abundant at 266 mg/100 g), and citric acids (Bano & Rajarathnam, 1988). See the Nutritional section on p. 56 for further information on this mushroom.

 Until 1977, the MERCK MEDICAL MANUAL, considered the "bible of physicians", included coffee enemas as an accepted means of detoxification and constipation relief. Yet coffee enemas became the focal point of critics who considered the Kelley program unscientific.
Meanwhile, there has been an abundance of scientific studies in Europe showing that enzymes (protease, amylase, lipase) can improve the general course of the cancer patient.9 Kelley's work is carried on by a Sloan-Kettering trained oncologist, Dr. Nicholas Gonzales, in New York City. |

 If the saliva pH is between 5.5 and 5.8 with no rise in pH after a meal, it means the body is extremely acid and there are no alkaline reserves left.
Although more research needs to be done on this question of optimal body pH for vegetarians, and especially raw-food vegetarians, there are guidelines that go beyond laboratory results. Perhaps the best way to ascertain whether one is functioning at an optimal pH for oneself is by the following characteristics.
Optimal pH Function Indicators
1. Good energy.
2. A calm nervous and muscle system.

 This may produce some shifts in biochemical reactions, but it's not likely to result in any real reorganization. To accomplish that would require more information, and to bring out their informational content we will need to raise them to a higher potency.
If we take that process to a very high level, for example the two-hundredth step, as we did with the Sulphur I gave my friend, the remedy will operate on a very subtle organizational level. |

He further states that "asparagus therapy has been used to treat various forms of cancer, and reversal of the disease has been reported in a number of cases." He says that when used as a form of cancer therapy, asparagus is always cooked and pureed in a blender. It can then be stored in the refrigerator. The dose is 4 tablespoons two or three times daily alone or mixed in hot or cold water.

History of Free Radicals
In 1954, the free radical theory of aging was first described by Dr. Denham Harman, who declared that a "single common process, modifiable by genetic and environmental factors, was responsible for aging and death of all living things." He identified this process saying, "Aging is caused by free radical reactions, which may be caused by the environment, from disease and intrinsic reactions within the aging process." Dr. |

 A portion of the caffeine occurs in a complex bond with the tanning agents. This complex was formerly referred to as guaranine (Seitz 1994, 55).
Effects
Guarana has potent stimulating effects due to the caffeine and the "guaranine." However, the overall effects are distinctly different from those produced by coffee and other purine drugs. It is thought that the long duration of the stimulant effects (in contrast to the relatively short duration of the effects of coffee) is due to the complex binding of caffeine to the tanning agents. |

 What Ever Happened to the Neanderthals? poor neanderthal. From the very start he's been tagged as a loser, a shambling, stupid hulk who richly deserved extinction. Happily, these notions are changing, and modern science has been kinder to Neanderthal. We now recognize that the notion of a stooped posture and shambling gait came from analysis of the fossil of a man with advanced osteoarthritis! Neanderthal walked upright as we do ?in fact, if you dressed him in a business suit and put him on the New York subway, Vie probably wouldn't provoke a second glance. |

 Brewer's yeast should not be confused with baker's yeast, nutritional yeast, or torula yeast, which are low in chromium.
Brewer's yeast, perhaps by changing bacterial flora in the large intestine, might be helpful in treating of some cases of infectious diarrhea (p. 58).
Where Is It Found?
Brewer's yeast, which has a very bitter taste, is recovered after being used in the beer-brewing process. Brewer's yeast can also be grown specifically for harvest as a nutritional supplement. |

 The pungent odor of garlic is caused mainly by allicin. Allicin forms when the enzyme alliinase reacts with the compound alliin. The essential oil of garlic yields approximately 60 percent of its weight in allicin after exposure to alliinase. Because the enzyme is inactivated by heat, cooked garlic produces less odor than raw garlic, and is not nearly as powerful in physiological effect.1
History and folk use
Garlic has long been used to treat a wide variety of conditions. |

| On the basis of detailed analyses of kava's active ingredients (a laborious process spanning the past 110 years), many experts now believe the pharmacological activities of kava are due mostly, if not entirely, to the presence of the kavalactones (also referred to as kava alphapyrones). These compounds are found in the fat-soluble resin of the root. |

Turmeric is the major ingredient of curry powder and is also used in prepared mustard. It is extensively used in foods both for its color and flavor. In addition, turmeric is used in both the Chinese and Indian (Ayurvedic) systems of medicine as an antiinflammatory agent and in the treatment of numerous conditions, including flatulence, jaundice, menstrual difficulties, bloody urine, hemorrhage, toothache, bruises, chest pain, and colic.1 Turmeric poultices are often applied locally to relieve inflammation and pain. |
| Although it had been reported that ginseng contains large amounts of germanium (i.e., 300 parts per million [ppm]), a follow-up study using highly sensitive (detection limit of 1 part per billion tppb]), flameless atomic absorption spectrometry combined with solvent extraction demonstrated that the highest concentration of germanium measured in samples of ginseng purchased in the Osaka market was only 6 ppb.5 More research is needed to determine accurately the germanium content of herbal medicines, as the reported concentrations vary widely. |

Iron—Iron deficiency has been shown to lower test scores by college students. Students at Penn State who were found to be deficient in iron significantly increased their test scores after three months of taking iron supplements. Now that people are cutting back on iron-rich red meat, they need to be especially careful about getting iron in other forms. Good food sources of iron are pork, oysters, clams, chicken, and turkey. |

AMARANTH [Amaranthus hypochondriacus, A. cruentus)
Brief Description
Not a true cereal, but rather a fruit, it belongs to the same family (chenopodium) as the edible weed, lamb's-quarter. Looking like a sesame seed, it has a pleasant, nutty flavor and can be popped like corn or steamed and flattened into a flake. It requires very little water and fertilizer, growing almost anywhere the common weeds do. |

 Calcium is an example of a mineral that is needed in relatively large amounts. It is known to be important for strong bones and teeth, for proper muscle action and blood clotting, and as a heartbeat regulator. The richest food sources of calcium are milk and milk products.
Women in particular are urged to supplement their diets with calcium to help reduce the risk of osteoporosis (thinning of the bones due to loss of bone mass). Calcium is absorbed into the body with the help of vitamin D, which is primarily found in animal foods. |
