White free radicals are normal products of metabolism, uncontrolled free-radical production plays a major role in the development of degenerative disease, including cancer and heart disease. Free radicals harmfully alter important molecules, such as proteins, enzymes, fats, even DNA, Other sources of free radicals include pesticides, industrial pollutants, smoking, alcohol, viruses, most infections, allergies, stress, even certain foods and excessive exercise. | | Raw milk is a living food containing many enzymes, beneficial bacteria (lactic acid Bacillus), vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, and lactose (milk sugars). If you leave raw milk at room temperature, the lactic acid Bacillus will convert (ferment) the sugars into lactic acid. This is called sour milk and it's even more nutritious than sweet milk, because it's partly digested. | | In my practice, I ask that my clients abstain from taking vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbs, or other supplements during
Diet Survey
For each category below, indicate what kinds of foods and drinks you consume and how often by writing 1 for one day per week, 2 for two days, 3 for three days, and so on, next to the category. If it's only once a month, put 1/mo. Circle the specific foods or beverages within each category that you eat or drink and whether organic or commercial, if noted. If you eat some of each, circle both. If you aren't sure, leave a question mark. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Foods rich in vitamins B6 and B12 include poultry, fish, pork, beans, whole grains, fortified soy foods, lean meats, and milk. Folate can be found in leafy vegetables, legumes, and fortified cereals. It is a good idea to take the recommended folate supplement listed in the guidelines. Also check your multivitamin to see if it has at least 4 mg of vitamin B6 and 8 micrograms of vitamin B12.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk for heart disease, as discussed in the Active Wellness Basic Food and Nutrition Guidelines. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There is, however, one other very important tip, which will also ensure that most people will get adequate amounts of all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. The message is "variety." Eat as wide a variety of foods as you can—different sources of carbohydrate, varying types of protein, and lots of different vegetables, salads, and fruits. Not only does this prevent boredom, it also ensures that you get all the micronutrients you need.
This is because even foods of the same group are not all good sources of the same things. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Similar comparisons can be made for other vitamins too, but the rate of vitamin increase during sprouting varies with each type of bean used.
I'm convinced, from all of the nutritional studies I've read over the years, that sprouts really do contain a varied and powerful battery of nutrients, rivaling citrus fruits in vitamin C and beef in protein, and surpassing almost any other, known food source (except probably algae and seaweed) in completeness.
THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS
The best historical example of how marvelous a protein food bean sprouts are, is the Old Testament prophet Daniel. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It has been found that a certain amount of fat is essential for the absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K. Even The American Heart Association recommends getting between 15 to 30 percent of our calories from that wonderful substance that makes food so delicious.
One oft-quoted study conducted at the University of London involved putting patients on a low-calorie (1,000 calories) but high-fat (90% of their total calories) diet. Patients on this high-fat diet lost significant weight in a relatively short period of time. |
Michael Tierra, L.Ac, O.M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Many Chinese practitioners maintain that white rice is easier to digest—which it is—and that eating even a small amount of meat with it will more than compensate for the loss of B vitamins. All of this is true, but the fact that a food is easier to digest can be both positive as well as negative. It is positive for those who have very weak digestion and must improve their assimilation to regain their strength. It is negative in that without any digestive challenges, the digestive system, like any muscle or bodily function, becomes weaker with the pampering. | | Supplements, such as vitamins and minerals, may overload and imbalance the body with nutrients and substances that it does not need. Chinese herbs can help the body regain strength and balance. | | REPPED: Just as North Americans and Europeans are accustomed to using a multitude of over-the-counter drugs as well as vitamins and other supplements for various conditions, the Chinese people know the use of a wide variety of herbs and other natural substances that are available in their local pharmacies. Because of the growing popularity of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine in the West and the increasing popularity of many Chinese herbs and products, this book is intended to serve as an introduction and practical guide. | | Injurious Foods and Substances
REFINED SUGAR
In order to be metabolized, refined sugar draws from our nutritional reserves of important vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, thereby making us weaker. Of all the food taboos, refined sugar is the worst. For many, it will be a major challenge to overcome the addiction because sugar is so entwined in our lives at all levels. Physically, it will aggravate blood sugar, either high or low. Mentally, it will create instability, a tendency to depression, and negativity as a result of liver qi stagnation. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Hence when a demulcent herb is to be used, marshmallow root is one of the best in a diuretic formula because it is also a diuretic; licorice is a demulcent preferred for tonics because it harmonizes the many herbs in that formula; slippery elm is used when extra nutrition is needed because of its high content of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates. | | Some of the herbs act primarily to provide nutrients: vitamins, minerals and sugars. These are referred to as Yin tonics (see chapter on "Diagnosis and Treatment"), the most valuable being the seaweeds (kelp and Irish moss), alfalfa, comfrey and dandelion leaf. Others, in addition to providing some of these nutrients, act to balance and stimulate the energy of the organs, improving their ability to assimilate and utilize nutrients. | | It has a flavor not unlike that of spinach, and it is similarly high in minerals such as iron, as well as being a rich source of vitamins A and C. Thus by adding such greens to our diet, based on traditional acidic grains, beans and pro-teinaceous foods, we experience easy digestibility and lightness.
The seeds of a Central American species, once used as a staple food by the Aztecs, have now been introduced into the health food industry. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It should be supplemented with vitamins and minerals, especially antioxidants, and complemented with raw foods and juices and other enzyme-rich foods in small amounts, included in the daily fare to make it more appetizing and varied.
What Are Enzymes? Enzymes make chemical reactions proceed more efficiently. They are catalysts and support life by making all biochemical processes possible at body temperature. A catalyst is a substance that triggers chemical reactions without itself being consumed in the reactive process. |

TERTIARY FOODS
The third level of foods are those we may eliminate entirely or should consume in smaller portions. These include the extremes of Yin foods (fruits) and Yang foods (red meat) or such congesting foods as milk.
Fruits are the most seasonal of foods. They represent the end cycle of a plant before a seed is formed. As such, from a macrobiotic holistic point of view, they are best consumed according to their natural cycle in each season. |

See book keywords and concepts | | With my meals, I take the vitamins and flaxseed as recommended in the Active Wellness Guidelines. Occasionally, I have a dessert that is low in sugar and fat—my favorite is the Active Wellness Fat-Free Chocolate Truffles.
* Running and Weight Training: I jog every other day for 45 minutes, accompanied by a 10-minute stretching routine. I may vary my jogging routine by bicycling, rollerblading, or taking a cross-training class. On alternate days, I do weight training and yoga. I also enjoy Latin dancing in addition to my normal exercise routines. |

Mrs. J.P. said: "Recently, my mother-in-law came for a visit. I was shocked to see how she had deteriorated from arthritis in a very short time. I immediately started her on my 'arthritis formula' as I call it. Each morning she received one vitamin A and D combination perle, 400 I.U. of vitamin E, 500 mg of vitamin C, B complex, 500 mg of pantothenic acid and a calcium tablet. | | Through the use of vitamins and food supplements, I have been able to stop using all arthritis medications. This is the first time in 20 years that I have been able to leave off drugs for arthritis."
Garlic has been hailed as a cure for arthritis. This may have something to do with its power to relieve infections, catarrhal swellings and inflammation of the lining of the joints or its well-known power to increase the circulation. An Indian scientist states that garlic oil, used as a liniment, has always been used with great success in paralytic and rheumatic afflictions. | | Campbell's diet also contains generous amounts of vitamins A, C, E, sulphur, manganese and potassium, each of which has proven valuable in fighting various forms of arthritis, infection, swelling and catarrhal inflammation.
RAPID HEALING FOODS FOR ARTHRITIS
Alfalfa tea may bring blessed relief and freedom from pain. One man said: "I have had arthritis in my back for years. Three months ago I was so bad I could hardly get in and out of my car. Then I learned of a woman who had cured her arthritis by drinking alfalfa tea. I decided to try alfalfa seeds for my problem. | | He suggests you get your calcium, vitamins D, B-complex and iodine from high-potency tablets, at your local health food store. He makes no mention of what foods to avoid, or internal cleansing. While users no longer required aspirin or pain relievers, after 10 days, there is no real difference between being chained to one type of pill or another, an aspirin or a calcium tablet. Except for the fact that if you can't stand the taste of cod liver oil, Dr. | | We are told that 25 children afflicted with this crippling and wasting disease were given wheat germ oil daily, plus vitamins C and B. Every child improved, and there was one complete recovery. Wheat germ oil has relieved cerebral palsy. A young child suffered from cerebral palsy, which caused spastic paralysis of his arms and legs (wild, jerky movements) and affected his speech. Someone suggested wheat germ oil, which has been found to bring relief, along with vitamin, mineral and protein supplements. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Before vaccinations, millions of people died from now-preventable diseases, no matter how full of vitamins their diets were, whether or not they were breastfed, and regardless of loving nurturing.
Please don't overlook the primary and inescapable reason for vaccinations: they prevent diseases that kill children. Michelle Ogilvie Hils Lakewood, Ohio Summer 1997
Dear Mothering,
I would like to know what role long-term breastfeeding plays in the vaccination debate. Are breastfed babies and children less likely to contract childhood diseases? | | First, a discussion of vitamins needs to be included in the dialogue. The relationship between vitamin A deficiency and child mortality was noted as early as the 1930s, when supplementation with vitamin A was reported to significantly reduce mortality among measles patients. Research in 1990 again reported the effectiveness of vitamin A supplementation in reducing morbidity and mortality (JAMA, 17 February 1993, p. 898). Why has the medical profession ignored that information for more than 60 years? |

See book keywords and concepts | | Even natural remedies such as herbs, vitamins and dietary changes may be inappropriate if they are not accompanied by a good healing attitude. We will develop a healthy attitude when we finally choose to see our problems from a larger perspective, as a process of readjustment or as valuable lessons to be learned.
I believe that there is an eternal force that drives us onward through countless changes, trials and errors. |

See book keywords and concepts |  B" Stands for Brain
As I mentioned earlier, numerous studies have shown that low levels of B vitamins can cause subtle changes in brain function among older people that could contribute to memory loss and even depression. Folic acid, in particular, may prevent memory loss by helping to maintain normal levels of homocysteine, an amino acid found in the body. High levels of homocysteine are believed to increase the risk of heart disease. In addition, a recent study performed by the Agriculture Research Service of the U.S. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Don't self-diagnose anemia on the basis of advertising hype for iron-containing tonics or vitamins. There are many different types of anemia, of which iron-deficiency is only one. Taking iron supplements when you don't need them may cause iron deposits that damage the heart, liver, and other organs, and may even increase the risk of heart disease and cancer. | | Most of what we eat and digest goes directly to it, for storage (as in the case of glycogen, iron, and all the fat-soluble vitamins) or resynthesis (the production of substances such as cholesterol, hemoglobin, and countless proteins that circulate in the bloodstream).
Because it performs so many different and critical roles, when the liver becomes sick, you do too! Some of its ailments are life threatening, many are not. This organ has such great reserves that when you have mal de foie, you may feel nothing more than a little lassitude for a few days. | | An ounce and a half of 86-proof whiskey contains 105 "empty" calories, that is, they are without any protein, vitamins, and minerals whatsoever. These empty calories add extra pounds, so if you're having trouble losing weight, cut back on the booze.
Chronic alcoholics are often thin and wasted because of poor nutrition, which results in a lack of essential minerals such as zinc, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and potassium, as well as vitamin deficiency. This can also aggravate any coexisting health disorders. | | For example, there were several studies suggesting that a deficiency of certain vitamins or minerals, notably vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B3 (pantothenic acid), zinc, folic acid, vitamin E, and selenium, can sometimes result in arthritis. Frankly, the evidence was underwhelming. So don't rush to take these supplements. They may help only if, after analyzing your blood, your doctor finds you deficient in them. Unless you are on a fad diet or deliberately starving yourself to lose weight, the likelihood of such a deficiency is not great. |
