 "RECOMMENDATIONS
J Because estrogen is produced by body fat, eat a Diet that does not promote excess body fat. (See estrogen-reducing Diet in Part Three.) However, avoid diets that contain too little fat and cholesterol. Consuming at least 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day—that is, any Diet other than a cholesterol-lowering diet—and more than 10 percent of total calories from fat—almost any American Diet, including a vegan diet—protects against breast cysts."- Phyllis A.

 "The studies were all performed on subjects who continued to consume a Diet rich in omega-6 fatty acids.
A more recent study was undertaken to determine the potential for dietary flaxseed oil to increase tissue EPA concentration in healthy human subjects.56 Unlike the previous studies, this study incorporated a Diet low in omega-6 oils by restricting the use of other vegetable oils while supplementing the Diet with 13 grams (approximately 1 tablespoon) of flaxseed oil daily."- Michael T.

 "Recommendations
Q Eat a high-protein, high-calorie Diet to promote fast tissue repair.
Q Include in the Diet foods that are high in germanium, such as garlic, shiitake mushrooms, and onions. Germanium helps to improve tissue oxygenation.
Q Drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of quality water (preferably steam-distilled) every day.
Q Add "green drinks" made from vegetables to your Diet. (See juicing in Part Three.)
Q If you smoke, stop. Avoid all contact with tobacco.
þ If you have diabetes, be vigilant in your treatment.
Q If an injured area becomes red, swollen, and painful, or develops an odor, see your health care practitioner without delay."- Phyllis A.

Diet
Consume a high-complex-carbohydrate Diet rich in dietary fiber. The Diet should contain liberal amounts of proantho-cyanidin- and anthocyanidin-rich foods, such as blackberries, cherries, blueberries, etc. Garlic, onions, ginger, and cayenne should also be consumed liberally. plasminogen activator to cause fibrin breakdown.28 Bromelain may help prevent the development of the hard and lumpy skin (lipodermatosclerosis) found around varicosed veins." - Michael T.

| "LM Eat a low-protein Diet by restricting consumption of meat, fish, dairy products, and dried beans. Restricting dietary protein limits the amount of urea, a protein byproduct, the kidneys have to cleanse from the bloodstream, and allows them to heal if blood pressure is also controlled. It is important to understand, however, that a low-protein Diet is not synonymous with a high-carbohydrate Diet (that is, more than 600 calories per day from carbohydrates). Total calories as well as total protein must be reduced to prevent the progression of kidney disease." - Phyllis A.

Ql If you do not take alfalfa in capsules, use alfalfa sprouts in salads and sandwiches to obtain the same benefits.
-J Supplement the Diet with omega-3 fatty acids by eating two to three servings of coldwater fish (such as salmon, mackerel, or tuna) weekly, or by taking flaxseed oil, Max-EPA fish oil, or vegetarian DHA (such as Neuromins). Borage or evening primrose oil are also helpful." - Phyllis A.

 "Many of us have built our tissue, nerves, bones, and viscera with these products. This Diet has attained the momentum of many generations. To make the dramatic change to a completely vegetarian Diet can be shocking, to say the least. It takes the body a certain amount of time to learn what to do with some vegetable products or, for that matter, with any food to which it is not accustomed. How long the transition takes depends on a person's background and inherent strengths and weaknesses."- Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book) |
| "A Diet rich in animal fats not only promotes wind/damp obstructions as mentioned above, but also contributes directly to tissue pain and inflammation in another way. Animal fats are the primary sources of arachidonic acid, which through various metabolic pathways in the body initiates the production of pain-inducing, inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE2) as well as leukotrienes (discussed in Oils and Fats chapter). Leukotrienes are the most powerful sources of inflammation yet discovered in the body, and their production can be inhibited by ingestion of omega-3 and GLA fatty acids, recommended as part of the regeneration diets." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book) |
 "TONSILS, and the ADENOIDS Behind the nose in the upper throat, the tonsils are lymph tissue which sample incoming air, food, and drink; guarding the throat against incoming bacteria and viruses' infection, when body resistance is low from a poor Diet high in Carbohydrates, and low in Protein and Vitamins. Inflammation of lymph tissue (tonsillitis/Quinsy) protects from tuberculosis, and Brain infantile paralysis. Improperly treated, tonsillitismayreappearasheartmuscle inflammation, or ofthe endocardium and valves; kidney inflammation, andarticularrheumatism. When removed, forces toxins to the kidneys. The Tonsils are allied with the reproductive organs; if removed before age 28, lessens male masculinity, and female femininity."- Joseph E.

| "To keep this from happening, we need a proper Diet and appropriate nutritional supplements. Brain function, memory, skin elasticity, eyesight, energy, the ratio of lean-to-fat tissue in the body, and overall health are all indications of how well the body is functioning. With the help of the proper nutrients, exercise, and a balanced Diet, we can slow the aging process and greatly improve our chances for a healthier, pain-free—and possibly longer—life.
If we do not give ourselves the proper nutrients, we can impair the body's normal functions and cause ourselves great harm." - Phyllis A.

| "This is a rigidly controlled Diet that is high in fats and extremely low in carbohydrates and proteins, which forces the body to use fats rather than the usual carbohydrates to generate cellular energy. When fats are burned, by-products called ketones are formed. Normally, ketosis—the presence of high levels of ketones in the body—occurs only in cases of starvation or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Eating a Diet containing virtually no carbohydrates, however, can produce essentially the same effect, and also causes biochemical changes that enable the body's tissues to burn these ketones for needed energy." - Phyllis A.

Considerations
Q The only treatment for established gangrene is surgical removal of the affected area.
Q For wet gangrene, treatment with antibiotics and surgical removal of the dead tissue are usually necessary. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be employed as well." - Phyllis A.

| "When blood Protein is low, water is drawn into the tissues (edema); low Protein Diet is recommended in kidney and some heart complaints, no animal Protein in allergies, skin complaints, and high blood pressure; under stress, liver Amino acids break down and kidney filtering stimulate Calcium loss, liver or kidney problems. If your Diet is low in Protein, and high in Calories, you need Vitamin B3. Stress and emotional pressure (fear, pain, anxiety, anger, insomnia, and competitive stress) reduces pancreatic bicarbonate for alkalining the small intestines, impedes the absorption of Amino acids into the bloodstream, reduces proteolytic Enzymes, and may deplete Nitrogen reserves one third." - Joseph E.

| "Here's why:
• When weight loss is achieved by dieting without exercise, a substantial portion of the total weight loss comes from the lean tissue, primarily as water loss.
• When exercise is included in a weight loss program, there is usually an improvement in body composition due to a gain in lean body weight because of an increase in muscle mass and an accompanying decrease in body fat.
• Exercise helps counter the reduction in basal metabolic rate that usually accompanies calorie restriction alone.
• Exercise increases the basal metabolic rate for an extended period of time following the exercise session." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book) |

It takes the body a certain amount of time to learn what to do with some vegetable products or, for that matter, with any food to which it is not accustomed. How long the transition takes depends on a person's background and inherent strengths and weaknesses. For people from societies with traditionally low levels of meat consumption—parts of Latin America, Ireland, the Orient, or among certain agriculturally based Native American cultures—the process can be less of a physiological strain." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book) |
 "WAS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY RELATED TO THE CONSUMPTION OF THE LOW-PROTEIN DIET?
To measure the physical activity of each group of rats, we compared how much they voluntarily operated an exercise wheel attached to their cages. A monitor recorded the number of times the animals turned the exercise wheel. The low-casein animals12 exercised about twice as much, when measured over a two-week period! This observation seems to be very similar to how one feels after eating a high-protein meal: sluggish and sleepy. I have heard that a side effect of the protein-drenched Atkins Diet is fatigue."- T.

| "The initial research showing an effect of Diet on MS goes back more than half a century to the research of Dr. Roy Swank, who began his work in Norway and at the Montreal Neurological Institute during the 1940s. Later, Dr. Swank headed the Division of Neurology at the University of Oregon Medical School.43
Dr. Swank became interested in the dietary connection when he learned that MS appeared to be more common in the northern climates." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

| "These diseases, which generally occur with aging and tissue degeneration, kill the majority of us before our time.
Additionally, impressive evidence now exists to show that advanced heart disease, relatively advanced cancers of certain types, diabetes and a few other degenerative diseases can be reversed by Diet. I remember when my superiors were only reluctantly accepting the evidence of nutrition being able to prevent heart disease, for example, but vehemently denying its ability to reverse such a disease when already advanced. But the evidence can no longer be ignored." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

| "Specifically, these and other omega-3s reduce blood viscosity, lower lipid levels, reduce clotting, lower blood pressure, and help prevent ischemia (the damage to body tissue that results from interruption of blood flow; examples are strokes and heart attacks). Thus the omega-3 oils not only minimize circulatory disorders but also encourage blood flow to tissues damaged by lack of circulation.
DHA and Brain/Nerve Renewal
DHA and EPA mutually support each other in the function of vascular renewal. DHA also plays other vital roles. It is a major structural component of the brain,5 and is found in the retina of the eye and in sperm." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book) |
