| Erdman and published in a recent issue of the Journal of Nutrition, prostate tumors grew much less in rats that were fed tomato and broccoli powders than in rats who ate diets containing either just one of those powders or cancer-fighting substances that had been isolated from tomatoes or broccoli. |
| People who eat diets low in vitamin C or potassium are at greater risk of stroke, and fruits and vegetables are rich in both! And it's yet another example of how food works but supplements don't quite cut it. A Dutch study of women over age 55 revealed that while vitamin C-rich foods were protective against stroke, vitamin C supplements were not.
7. Enjoy broiled or baked seafood. Some research suggests that seafood slashes stroke risk, probably thanks to its omega-3s. |
| Wu's study found that women whose diets put them in the highest 25 percent of soy consumption (the equivalent of more than three servings of tofu a day) had 15 percent lower blood levels of an important form of estrogen. Women who ate average amounts of soy, however, showed no drop in estrogen.
So is it the soy? In my opinion, soy is one big piece of the Asian cuisine puzzle. Certainly the smaller servings of red meat and ample servings of vegetables don't hurt, either.
Is miso a must? |

 As my dogs age I do include extra vitamins in their diets. My dear animal companion, Charlie, was a Newfoundland who died in September 1997, jusr as my fust book was published. The average lifespan of a Newfoundland is about eight years; however, Charlie lived to be fourteen. I gave him 1,500 mg. of vitamin C and 200 IU of vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) daily. There is no doubt in my mind that Charlie's natural diet and supplements added years to his life and kept him in good health. In 1999 I began to share my home with Sarge who was five years old at the time. |
| Homemade diets for Pets
Many people have told me that they are terrified that if they feed their pet anything other than what comes out of a can or bag they may be harming their beloved animals. They believe that their pet will keel over and die. If your animal companion has a serious health problem, first consult a holistic or naturopathic veterinarian. Then try feeding your pet a homemade diet.
I have attempted to provide a diet for my pers that incorporates all the protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and fats that they require. |
| In addition, cats also choose one or two diets they like and tend to ignore other foods you may offer them.
Chicken, Rice, and Vegetables
2 cups of ground or chopped chicken, cooked 1 cup of cooked brown rice Vi cup grated carrots
Cut chicken into small pieces. Run carrots through food processor. Mix chicken and carrots with rice and if there is any fat from the chicken, pour about two teaspoons over the mix. Serve at room temperature.
Sole Dinner
Vi lb. fdlet of sole
2 tbsp. onion, chopped
(optional) 2 tbsp parsley, chopped Enough water to cover bottom of dish 1 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. |
| Remember, many pet food companies also produce an extensive line of private label foods and prescription diets. Check the label of the food you are using for the name of the company. Most companies list an 800 number on the label. Call the number, ask for the name of the president/CEO, and address questions to him/her.
Do not address your quesrions or concerns to the company in general. You will get the standard pat answers that tell you nothing. Write to the president, chairperson, or CEO of the company. |

 However, many patients have tried diets and failed and now want something a bit more powerful to curb their appetite or something to help them curb cravings and a psychological obsession with food. These people will keep going to doctors until they find one willing to write a prescription for a diet drug, and they usually don't have to search for long. Or, lured by the promise of near-magical weight loss, they pick up some ma huang or another dietary supplement at the drugstore. |

| He also notes how Hill's already supports the profession from scientific presentations at national veterinary meetings to furnishing diets to the thirty-one veterinary colleges and sixty-eight technology schools in the United States.
In February 2002 Hill's Science Diet signed a wide-ranging agreement with The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Hill's will be providing "generous financial support to several HSUS programs over the next few years."15 Among the perks, Hill's will provide participating shelters with free food to feed all the dogs and cats at the shelter. |

 Second, slaughterhouse animals often come from questionable sources and have questionable health and diets, and the use of steroids, antibiotics, and the like is prevalent in raising farm animals today. Thus, many choose to stay away from enzyme supplements from this source.
Third, enzyme potency is determined by how much protein, fat, or carbohydrates the enzyme can break down, and animal-sourced enzymes are relatively weak when compared to plant-sourced and -based enzymes. |

 Changing the diets of children will save an enormous number of lives and protect those children from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, asthma and numerous other diseases. Children don't need MORE chemicals in their bodies, they need honest, wholesome food and healing, plant-based medicines that protect them from chemicals and other environmental threats!

 Breast cancer screening does nothing to educate women how to really prevent breast cancer, nor does it teach women how to change their diets and lifestyles so that breast cancer never develops in the first place. In fact, the strategy of the cancer industry today can be best described as waiting for women to get cancer, then treating it with toxic drugs that just happen to generate huge profits for pharmaceutical companies.
While tens of millions of women are developing undetectable, early-stage breast cancer right now, the cancer industry does nothing. |

 No one is talking about getting people OFF prescription drugs and onto disease prevention diets, healthful lifestyles and low-cost nutritional supplementation. The answers to preventing 90 percent of all cancers in this country are right in front of us, yet no one is talking about using a cancer prevention diet (plus sunlight and exercise) to stop this epidemic of preventable disease. |

 That includes people who don't get enough sunlight (or who have been brainwashed into using sunscreen all the time) and who eat atrocious diets lacking in vitamin D sources like fish oils. The problem with TB is not simply the person walking around with the bacteria, it's the people who are in such poor nutritional health that they're practically begging to be infected by something.
This is why TB is now an epidemic in the UK, by the way: There's very little sunlight at that latitude, and more than 80 percent of UK citizens are vitamin D deficient. |

 Symptoms of ADHD are easily eliminated in 80 percent of children within two weeks by merely supplementing with omega-3 oils and eliminating processed foods (especially refined sugars) from kids' diets.
The psychiatric industry does not promote nutrition as a method for preventing or treating depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD or other mental or behavioral conditions. Instead, it works to keep consumers ignorant of such solutions and pretends that these diseases are caused by "brain chemistry imbalances" that can only be corrected with synthetic patented chemicals (pharmaceuticals). |

 Most spiritual leaders around the world follow diets based at least in part on raw foods. Following a raw foods diet for just 30 days will dramatically clear your senses and turn you into a powerful broadcaster of intention.
Vegetarian foods: Avoiding the consumption of meat and dairy products is also an important way to keep your system clear and lend power to your intention. Meat and dairy products stagnate the flow of energy throughout your mind and body, blocking the intention. |

 He discovered a factor that was causing excessive bleeding and was missing from some diets. He published his work in a German journal and called the new coagulation vitamin Koagulationsvitamin. The initial letter in this word is how vitamin K got its name.
The Forms of Vitamin K
Plants synthesize phylloquinone, which is known as vitamin Ky Bacteria can also synthesize vitamin K in several forms. The vitamin K made by bacteria is known as menaquinone, or vitamin K2. There are many forms of menaquinone made by bacteria, each with different numbers of side chains. |

| You'll also come to recognize why the great spiritual leaders throughout the world all gravitate towards similar diets that are free of certain substances (such as red meat).
Let's begin by examining those foods and substances that interfere with the power of intention and the Law of Attraction.
Foods and substances that block the power of intention
The power of intention (i.e. the Law of Attraction) only works when you have a clear, healthy nervous system that's free from distortion. |

| Ruth Lawrence, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Rochester School of Medicine, and a member of the executive committee of the section on breast-feeding at the American Academy of Pediatrics, lack of iron in children's diets has been a concern for 25 years. This new study shows that the problem has not gone away. "It's pretty interesting that there are substantial numbers of children who are still iron-deficient," she says.
Although Lawrence is not surprised by the findings, she questions what was in the bottles of the children in the study. "Were they using milk, or Coke or juice? |

 But a peculiar
'single reversal design with three four-week periods'was used, which I believe, meant that the groups of three cows alternated between GM and non-GM diets. Thus one group would spend the first four weeks on GM, the next four weeks on non-GM and then four weeks back on GM; while the feeding regime for the other group would be non-GM, GM, and non-GM. This design generates nine data points each for the GM diet and non-GM diet. |

 A startling observation from this study was that, even though one-third of the food on the deficient diets" was raw, the generational health of the cats continued to deteriorate!
The good news is that part of the experiment also proved that if the diet was corrected soon enough, disease conditions could be reversed. When cats that had been fed cooked meat were returned to a raw meat diet, their physical conditions continued to improve until, by the fourth generation, the animals regenerated to a state of near-normal health.5
Now, that's food for thought! |
| These individuals had excellent immune systems, excellent diets, and had parents and grandparents who were also healthy. If a patient was under stress, however, or when their immune system was battling one or more degenerative illnesses, or if there was a history of chronic disease in the family, Dr. Price favored avoiding treatment of infected teeth and recommended the removal of any which had root canal fillings.

| Because of our typical diets, most of us are acidic and therefore have less than optimum levels of oxygen in our systems. This allows microform bacteria to grow and proliferate, and in the process, drain our energy reserves. When we die, these little creatures really go to work and are able to compost the dead body back to the soil. While living, the body is meant to be slightly alkaline. After we die, the body, the corpse, becomes fully acidic, which allows the microorganisms to multiply without restriction in order to complete their composting work. |
| Excessive and continued stress over-stimulates the adrenal glands, causing them to release steroid hormones, which can depress the immune system. diets that are high in processed foods and sugar change the pH in our intestinal tract, making it difficult for friendly flora to survive, while providing a good environment for Candida to multiply. Fluoride and chlorine in drinking water upset the balance of bowel flora as well. Anything that upsets the balance of healthy flora in the intestine sets the stage for and encourages the growth of yeast which, in turn, weakens the immune system. |

 CUTTING THE FAT
Many of my patients have spent months on the myriad high-protein/high-fat diets, and most, including me, had wonderful initial results; but at a certain point everything turned around. Here's the other bad news about our wrecking crew from the Teardown phase. The high-fat, high-protein program eventually allowed hunger to get out of control. Remember how you learned that after weight loss the levels of your hunger hormone go sky high, urging you to eat? |
| This failure to realize the need for two very different techniques at different times explains why most well-meaning diets ultimately don't work.
THE POWER OF PROTEIN
To convince your genes that "Winter Is Now," in the first two weeks of Diet Evolution, you'll focus on eating protein and vegetables, which as you can see from the lists of acceptable foods in the previous chapter offer you a remarkable array of choices. |

Evidence is consistent that diets high in potassium (over 4.5 grams per day) and low in sodium (under 6 grams per day) decrease the risk of high blood pressure and the risk of strokes and heart attacks. This is easiest to achieve with a diet made up predominantly of unprocessed fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.
