"Phytochemicals are present in relatively high amounts in celery seed oil, and in fresh celery as well (in fact these are responsible for conferring the characteristic odor of celery). Celery compounds also modify the detoxifying enzyme GST. For example, celery seed oil contains five natural products, many of which increase the activity of GST fivefold. Even more convincing data in studies with mice showed that celery seed oil decreased the number of mice with tumors, as well as the number of tumors per mouse." - J. Robert Hatherill, Eat To Beat Cancer: A Research Scientist Explains How You and Your Family Can Avoid Up to 90% of All Cancers (Get the book.)

"Crunchy way to help lower your blood pressure Crunching celery might do more for you than satisfy your appetite. celery, an old Oriental remedy for mild hypertension, apparently is still effective. Scientists discovered that celery contains a chemical that opens the blood vessels, which in turn lowers your blood pressure. Researchers caution against using the celery cure alone. celery contains sodium and other chemicals, which at high doses can be harmful to your body. Check with your doctor about including more celery in your diet." - Editors of FC&A, 1001 Home Health Secrets for Seniors (Get the book.)

"Sweet bell pepper, celery, lettuce, spinach, and potato were the vegetables most likely to expose consumers to pesticides. Among these five vegetables, celery had the highest percentage of samples test positive for residues (94.1 percent), followed by sweet bell peppers (81.5 percent) and potatoes (81.0 percent). Celery also had the highest likelihood of multiple pesticide residues on a single vegetable (79.8 percent of samples), followed by sweet bell peppers (62.2 percent) and lettuce (44.2 percent)." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.)

"Furthermore, the actual aroma of celery contains two steroids called androsterone and androstenol. The research showed that the subtle odor of these two chemicals travels through the nose and attracts the opposite sex. Celery has other benefits, too. It contains an ingredient acetylenics, which has been shown to stop the growth of cancer cells. celery is an excellent source of organic sodium, which gives it a slightly salty taste. Along with potassium, sodium helps to maintain the body's electrolyte balance." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Other foods that are recommended specifically for hot flashes include flaxseed, high-lignan flaxseed oil, fennel, celery, and parsley. Both flaxseed and high-lignan flaxseed oil are rich in lignans, which can help normalize estrogen levels. Fennel, celery, parsley, and all legumes are excellent sources of phytoestrogens (natural estrogens found in plants). Hot flashes can be treated with several commonsense noninvasive approaches. Keep cool. Drink ice water throughout the day. Even a slight increase in your body's core temperature can trigger a hot flash." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Chinese physicians have long used celery to dependably reduce blood pressure. Now scientists have discovered exactly why it works so well. celery contains unique oil which relaxes the muscles that regulate blood pressure, improving flow, and lowering pressure. Just a few stalks every other day (or some celery juice, perhaps, combined with carrot juice) do the trick. Avocado—The Delicious Super Fruit Avocado is a very dense fruit, packed with nutrients. It is especially rich in vitamin A." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

Besides munching on a few stalks, try a daily glass of celery juice cut with equal parts carrot juice and water. HYPOGLYCEMIA • Food as Medicine L/ow blood sugar is all about swings—and managing them.

"Your only intake for three days will be the freshly squeezed juice of a single fruit or vegetable, such as orange, apple, grapefruit, carrot, celery or cabbage. You can use your own juice extractor or vitamiser or purchase prepared pure, additive-free juices from health food stores. Only one type of juice should be consumed and it is important that the mono-diet last for three whole days.

"When animals are given a dose of a phthalide {3-n-butyI phthalide) that is equal to four stalks of celery in humans, their blood pressure drops by a respectable 13 percent on average. Clinical studies show that phthalides work by relaxing the muscle tissue in the artery walls. Relaxed muscle tissue in the artery walls translates to increased blood flow and a reduction in blood pressure. As an added benefit, phthalides also lower stress hormones, which can contribute to and aggravate nearly every known disease and cause a few of their own." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"All vegetables, particularly carrots, celery, potatoes, parsnip, cauliflower and broccoli, as well as herbs such as sennapod, liquorice and cascara, will improve and regulate bowel function. Drinking plenty of water will soften the body's waste and make it easier to eliminate. Foods to avoid are those most likely to cause constipation. The pies, pasties, dim sims, fast foods and over-refined white foods of today's society should not be part of your regular diet." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Look for fresh lemons, dark green lettuce, broccoli, spinach, blueberries, cantaloupe, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, garlic, and celery. When in season, choose eggplant and red and green peppers. • Choose skinless, boneless chicken breasts and turkey breasts. And try to buy free-range and antibiotic/hormone-free poultry. • Fresh fish tastes best. Avoid farm-raised fish because they contain antibiotics (used to protect them from disease in overcrowded pens), as well as disturbing concentrations of pesticides and mercury." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"So that means organic celery farmers are leaving their growing stalks vulnerable to attack by insects and fungi—and when those stalks are inevitably munched on, they respond by producing massive amounts of psoralen. By keeping poison off the plant, the organic celery farmer is all but guaranteeing a biological process that will end with lots of poison in the plant. Life: it's such a compromise. now that we have a better understanding of the relationship that plant evolution has on humans, let's take another look at the connection between fava beans and favism. What do we know so far?" - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.) "Celery is a similar case that sheds light on the sometimes double-edged nature of organic agriculture. celery defends itself by producing psoralen, a toxin that can damage DNA and tissue and also causes extreme sensitivity to sunlight in humans. The funny thing about psoralen is that it becomes active only when it's exposed to sunlight. Some insects avoid this poison by keeping their victim in the dark—they roll themselves up in a leaf, protected from the sun, and then spend the day chewing their way out." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"Celery is also recommended for conditions of brain overwork (brain-fag) and for acidosis, the condition of depletion of the alkaline reserve or bicarbonate content of the body, celery being an alkaline food. The partaking of celery has been recommended for gall stones, obesity, tuberculosis, and for improvement of the teeth, no doubt due to the presence of calcium. It has also been recommended for cases of anemia, no doubt due to the presence of iron, some proteins and Vitamin B. Celery is one of the best sources of organic calcium." - Dr. Joseph M. Kadans, N.D., Encyclopedia of Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts and Seeds for Healthful Living (Get the book.)

"Broccoli has about ten times as much as celery and cabbage. Colored fruits and vegetables, especially the yellow and orange ones, are generally high in provitamin A. Meats are generally low in vitamin A, except for liver which is excessively high. Dairy products contain a medium amount of vitamin A. The RDA is based on the amount needed to ensure adequate stores of vitamin A in the body to support pregnancy, gene expression, immune function, and vision. Different dietary and supplemental sources of vitamin A have different potencies." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Beans, beets, celery, chives, collards, eggplant, kale, leeks, okra, parsley, parsnips, peppers, rutabaga, spinach, summer squash, sweet potato, Swiss chard, tomato soup, vegetable soup, watercress, yams. High-oxalate condiments. Cinnamon, parsley, pepper, ginger, soy sauce. The Action Plan: What to Do About Oxalates 1. Monitor your child's symptoms for reactions to oxalates, if they have not responded to the prior diets. 2. Restrict oxalate foods. 3. Continue to monitor symptoms, to see if this diet is helping. 4. Discontinue it, if it doesn't seem to be helping." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

It is especially rich in vitamin A. It also contains plenty of B vitamins, especially niacin, folic acid, calcium, iron, 9 essential amino acids, and a mountain of potassium. The avocado has shown to benefit circulation, lower cholesterol, and dilate blood vessels." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Some of them, such as celery, peppers, or cabbage, just don't have enough starch in them to cause many problems. Most green vegetables, even though their calories come primarily from starch, are still so low in starch, and so high in fiber, that they don't trigger blood sugar spikes, followed by drops. Grains often contribute to hypoglycemia, because they are high in starch, and are quickly digested. Hypoglycemic kids usually need to limit grains to only about two to three servings per day, or even less, and they should almost always be served as side dishes." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

Gout, also known as metabolic arthritis, is a painful, largely inherited disorder in which the body can't properly metabolize uric acid. Usually the bloodstream contains a small amount of the stuff, but in gout there's a lot of it." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Add the celery and parsley. Simmer the mixture about 45 minutes longer. Remove the chicken. The chicken is not used further for the soup. (The meat makes excellent chicken parmesan.) With a measuring cup or ladle, scoop the broth and vegetable mixture into a food processor or blender. Puree the mixture in batches, setting the pureed mixture aside while pureeing the next batch. When all vegetables have been pureed, return the pureed soup to the pot and add salt and pepper to taste.

"Asparagus, artichokes, eggplant, radishes, celery, onions, carrots. Brussels sprouts, corn, cabbages, lettuces, peppers. Bok choy, Swiss chard, and beet greens. Turnips and parsnips. Summer squashes, winter squashes, tomatoes (although strictly speaking, tomatoes are fruit), cucumbers. Almost any vegetable you can imagine is legal on this plan, with a single exception, for cardiac patients: avocados, which carry a high fat content unusual for vegetables. Those without heart disease can eat avocados as long as their blood lipid levels are not elevated. 2. Legumes." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Despite the fact that celery is often forbidden to people with hypertension because of its high sodium content, its benefits are now recognized. Four stalks of celery daily will provide sufficient amounts of the active chemical that causes the desired effect. Don't overdose on celery because it can be toxic in extremely large amounts. And don't take it if you are sodium sensitive. But I think it's worth trying a week of three or four daily stalks of celery before a pressure reading to see if it works for you. If you drink alcohol, you're much more likely to suffer from hypertension." - Robert M. Giller, M.D., Natural Prescriptions: Dr. Giller's Natural Treatments & Vitamin Therapies For Over 100 Common Ailments (Get the book.)

"Saute the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery until the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a soup pot and add the tomato sauce, basil, stock, bay leaves, and oregano. Stir and bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Add the navy beans. If the soup is too thick, add some water or toss in 1 cup chopped tomatoes and allow to simmer for another 15 minutes. • You can use 8 cups of fresh tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the tomatoes. Boil them for a few minutes, then drain them into a colander." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)
