Using Foods For Medicine and Prevention
Americans are coming to see clearly that the foods we eat, more than any other factor, determine how long we live, and how well we live. It is also clear that, with 40 percent of Americans overweight and 28 percent obese, Americans do not exercise their intelligence when it comes to diet.
"I know it's bad for me, but...."
What you know is a poor second-place for what you DO with what you know.
Perhaps you will realize that today is the best conceivable day for you to extend how long and how well you live, by slowly, gradually, and consistently making better decisions about your Longevity... by making better decisions about your diet. It really is that easy.
The information provided here is designed for you to live longer and better, live healthier and happier, with MisterShortcut Approach of Masters and Millionaires...
the best Longevity shortcuts... of masters, millionaires, champions and billionaires.
Appendicitis
Best: Use high-fiber foods like wheat bran that keep the
stool soft and bulky .A British medical survey tagged peas, cabbage,
cauliflower, green beans, brussels sprouts, and tomatoes as anti- appendicitis
foods. Use vermifuge for a three-week period every year to clean out parasites.
AVOID: animal fat, low-fiber processed foods, sugar, and
popcorn.
Arthritis
Rheumatoid: seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids such as
salmon, sardines, lake trout, and mackerel may prevent or relieve the pain and
swelling. Fish oils dramatically prevent lupus in animals. Use Lipid
Liquitrophic daily. Osteo: dairy products, all allergy foods & sugar,
potatoes.
Asthma
Coffee: a couple of strong cups can thwart an asthma attack.
Also good bronchodilators -hot pungent foods such as chili peppers, garlic,
onions, mustard, horseradish. Fish oils also dramatically relieve bronchial
asthma.
AVOID: dairy foods and all allergy- causing foods.
Cancer
For overall prevention: green leafy vegetables, with
emphasis on these six -broccoli, spinach, cabbage, kale, brussels sprouts and
leaf lettuce. Other high-fiber vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes. Also,
radishes, chard, tomatoes, citrus fruits, dried fruits (apricots, prunes,
raisins), strawberries and fish high in omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent
various kinds of cancer. Garlic, onions, kelp, olive oil, tea (especially green
tea), as well as seed foods, such as legumes, nuts, rice, and grains, are rich
in anticancer chemicals. Fresh and raw: plenty of vegetables, juices, and fiber
are best.
Bladder: carrots, milk, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage,
cauliflower, coleslaw, kale, parsnips, turnips.
Breast: yogurt. Fruits and
vegetables high in carotenoids.
Colon: green leafy vegetables, notably cabbage, broccoli,
brussels sprouts. Also cauliflower. Acidophilus milk or yogurt, especially that
made with acidophilus culture. Wide mixture of vegetable juices. Wheat bran.
Esophagus: green and yellow vegetables,
apples, cherries, grapes, melons, onions, peas, beans, plums, pumpkin. Larynx:
green and yellow vegetables.
Lung: carrots, kale, spinach, broccoli, dark-yellow squash,
pumpkin, sweet potatoes, apricot. All dark-green and dark-orange vegetables,
red and yellow fruits high in carotenoids. If you have ever smoked, load up on
these foods. They may help prevent lung cancer years later.
Pancreatic: Citrus fruits, and carrots, are hugely beneficial to the pancreas.
Prostate: #FFFF00 and green vegetables. Carrots, tomatoes, cabbage,
sunflower and pumpkin seeds, peas, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, bee
pollen. Reduce stress.
Stomach: raw carrots, coleslaw, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, corn,
eggplant, milk, onion, sweet potatoes, squash.
AVOID: high-fat and meat diets
(which predispose to cancer), sugar, processed foods, overeating. Oriental herb formulas with Degex and Degex Liquescence enhance the results.
Cardiovascular
System
For good cardiovascular nutrition, try fatty fish, garlic,
ginger, melon, tree ear mushrooms, olive oil, onion, and kelp. Green tea, beer,
wine, currants, blueberries, eggplant, and omega-3 fatty fish ( salmon,
sardines) will strengthen and protect arteries and capillaries from damage due
to atherosclerosis or heart attack. Use Lipid Liquitrophic.
AVOID: fat, sugar,
excess alcohol, stress, processed carbohydrates and excess cholesterol.
Cavities
Tea is nature's best proved anti-cavity mouthwash. Other
foods good at combatting cavity-producing bacteria: grape and black cherry
juice, milk, coffee, cheese (aged cheddar cheese, bleu, Brie, Gouda, Monterey
Jack, mozzarella, and Swiss ). Use with a good cavity- fighting dental program.
AVOID: sugar, raisins, processed carbohydrates.
Cholesterol
To
Reduce Bad LDL (Low -Density
Lipoprotein) Cholesterol
Best are oat bran and guar gum. Use Lipid Liquitrophic.
Next, oatmeal and dried beans, including plain old baked beans.
Soybeans are great for adults and kids with
genetically-induced high cholesterol. Grapefruit -segments and membrane, not
the juice -drives down cholesterol. Also fresh oranges, apples, yogurt, skim
milk, carrots, garlic, onions, barley, ginger, eggplant, artichoke, unripe
plantain, shiitake mushrooms, olive oil.
Substitute seafood, including shellfish, for meat and
chicken. All fruits high in pectin, which includes strawberries and bananas.
Use unsaturated margarine oils instead of butter ( see
better butter recipe ).
AVOID: processed or fried foods and cholesterol-rich
foods, red meat, rich sauce.
To
Raise Good HDL
(High-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol Use strong, raw
onions -at least half a medium onion a day -and garlic. Use Lipid Liquitrophic.
Substitute olive oil for other vegetable oils or saturated fats. Alcoholic
drinks, such as wine or spirits in moderation, one or two drinks a day -also
boost HDLS. Radishes, horseradish and pepper help.
ADDED ADVICE: cut back on total fat (especially saturated
fats like animal-type fat, and coconut and palm oils). This enhances the
effects of the above natural cholesterol-fighters. Don’t eat only cooked food;
get fresh and raw foods into your diet.
Constipation
Drink five eight-ounce glasses of good water a day. Use
wheat bran, nature’s most potent bulk laxative. If that doesn’t work, add pure
juice. Dried beans work wonders on some people. Most high-fiber fruits and
vegetables, like carrots, cabbage, and apples, are bulk laxatives with about
one quarter the effect of wheat bran. Soluble fiber foods, like oats and
barley, can help. Also kelp, grapefruit parts and juice are helpful.
Misconception: American- type rhubarb is not a true laxative. Oriental type
medicinal rhubarb is excellent.
Diabetes
Use foods that produce slow, steady increases instead of
rapid rises in blood sugar levels. Such foods testing best on the "glycemic index" ( a measure of how quickly foods raise blood sugar) are, in order: peanuts, soybeans, lentils, kidney beans, black-eyed peas, milk, chickpeas, yogurt, ice cream, appleas, and baked beans.
AVOID: ALL processed sugars.
Diarrhea
Comfey pepsin helps. Try yogurt with live cultures (especially if the diarrhea is caused by prescription antibiotics, such as penicillin, which is common with children especially). Also, blueberries, black currants, honey (not for infants, however, because of a botulism danger). For youngsters, more acidophilus whole milk may be a cure. Too little fat in a child's diet promotes diarrhea and a variety of intestinal infections. Soy milk of soybeans also may help fight diarrhea-causing bacteria.
AVOID: all foods known to cause or annoy allergives.
Diverticular
Disease
First, we encourage wheat bran. Also other foods high in
fiber that give the stool bulk, such as legumes, oats, cabbage, carrots, and
apples. If you already have the disease, check with a physician before loading
up on high fiber .
AVOID: strawberries, popcorn and other foods with small
seeds and shells that could aggravate the condition. Use foods with solid A -D
liquid bran. Solid grains, liquid fruit, vegetables in between.
Emphysema
and Chronic Bronchitis
Chili peppers, pungent garlic, onions, mustard, horseradish
-all kinds of hot, spicy foods. These help keep the lungs healthy by keeping
mucus flowing and the bronchial tubes open. Drinking small amounts of milk has
also been tied to lower rates of chronic bronchitis. Fresh, raw fruits and
vegetables, and juice are helpful.
AVOID: milk in excess or with meals,
smoking and smokers, all allergy-causing foods.
Energy (Mental)
Caffinated drinks stimulate mental performance. Coffee is
the most potent. Also tea, colas, cocoa. Also boosting mental-energy brain
chemicals are high-protein, low fat foods such as shellfish, lean fish, non-fat
milk, and yogurt. Include avocado, starchy beans, sprouts, and fruit juices. A
void: white sugar .It makes blood sugar fluctuate too much.
Hemorrhoids
Eat foods that produce a soft, bulky stool, reducing strain
in bowel movements.
Best: wheat bran. Other high-fiber fruits and vegetables.
Radishes help liver involvement.
AVOID: liver burdening foods, fried and fatty foods, and
alcohol.
High Blood Pressure
One tablespoon of cream of tartar in eight ounces of natural
lime juice once or twice a day is an excellent formula. Mackerel -a couple of
cans a week -can depress blood pressure. Also oat bran and high-fiber fruits
and vegetables of all types help.
Shown also to push down blood pressure: olive oil, garlic,
seaweed (kelp ), yogurt, green tea, legumes, and milk. Surprisingly, coffee
drinking does not cause or aggravate high blood pressure except, apparently,
among smokers. It is shown in clinical experiments that diets rich in natural
potassium and low in sodium, such as fruits, vegetables and paprika, are as
effective as most medications.
Hypoglycemia
Tomatoes and potatoes can aggravate this condition, and thus
should be avoided in extreme cases. Always avoid processed sugar. Eat complex
carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables.
Infections (General)
Yogurt and garlic are recognized antibiotic superstars..
Also potent in thwarting viruses and bacteria are orange juice, apples tea,
grape juice, apple juice, honey, wine, blueberries, cranberries, grapes, plums,
raspberries, strawberries, peaches, and figs.
AVOID: processed carbohydrates and sugars, stress, toxins,
antibiotics.
Stroke
Fresh fruits and vegetables -even an extra senring a day,
according to one study -may cut the risk of stroke-associated death by 40%. In
animal studies, compounds from black currants and blueberries helped prevent
disease of blood vessels in the brain. Brown seaweed has prevented strokes in
rodents.
AVOID: cholesterol-rich foods, processed carbohydrates.
Ulcers
Plantains ( unripe, large and green, especially in
concentrated powder form) combat ulcers. Whole milk and yogurt, which contain
drug-Iike protective prostaglandins in the fat may prevent ulcers. Fresh
cabbage juice heals or wards off ulcers in some people.
AVOID: heavy spices, rich, hot stimulating foods; excess
alcohol.
Urinary
Tract Problems | Kidneys
Drink five glasses ( eight ounces each) of good water every
day. Cranberries, includingjuice, cocktail, and whole cranberries can prevent
cystitis, help deodorize the urine, and help prevent kidney stones. Effective
dose: half a cup to two cups of cocktail per day. Oniega-3 type fish oils may
help prevent kidney diseases. Rice bran -- about two thirds of an ounce a day can prevent kidney
stones. To prevent stones, take eight ounces of the following formula: 1/3
applejuice, 1/3 lemonjuice and 1/3 juniper tea twice a day.
AVOID: sugars,
processed foods, too much spinach.
Insomnia
A sure bet: fruit, sugar or honey. Eat yogurt before bed.
Misconception: milk does not put you to sleep; just the opposite, it wakes you
up.
AVOID: stimulants such as coffee, tea, and heavy foods
before bed.
Migraine
Headache
Oils in fish (omega-3's) can prevent the onset and severity
of migraines in some cases. Use Lipid Liquitrophic and Headache formula from
Dr. Recommends.
AVOID: cold foods like ice cream, red wine, food with salycilates
or other additives.
Motion
Sickness
Take ginger root, about half a teaspoon powdered in capsules, in tea or another beverage about a half hour before exposure to motion.
Osteoporosis
Drinking milk when you are young makes stronger bones, less
- susceptible to osteoporosis in later years. Use Osteo Liquitrophic. Green,
leafy vegetables and sprouts are excellent; better if juiced.
Psoriasis
and Skin Inflammation
Seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids; salmon, sardines,
herring, mackerel, etc., may relieve psoriasis. Also oatmeal packs reduce skin
inflammation. Vitamin A-supplying fresh fruits and vegetables are good in raw
or juice form. NOTE: For excellent, fast relief of psoriasis, wet it, oil it, and get ten minutes of sun. Within 22 days or so, you will have up to 100 percent remission.
FOR EMERGENCY SKIN RELIEF;Just submerge the affected area in cold or icy water. Aaahh!
AVOID: processed foods, fatty or fried foods, all processed
sugars, allergy-causing foods.
