"TIP Olive oil and/or coconut oil is suggested for use with cooking. olive oil is also useful as (or in) a salad dressing. Unrefined extra virgin olive oil is the best choice. Flax oil is also good in a salad dressing, but don't cook with it because it is very heat-sensitive. Go Wild When choosing fresh fish, opt for wild-caught rather than farm-raised. Wild fish will have lower levels of contaminants, especially mercury, and be richer in healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Olive leaf extract (Olea curopaea): Made from the leaves of the Mediterranean olive tree, olive leaf extract is used as a broad-spectrum antiviral. It is a safe medication with no known adverse effects or interactions. Use the standardized extract containing 17 to 23 percent oleuropein, one of the active components in the leaf. The average recommended dose is two 500 mg capsules twice daily." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

TESTING FOR SPECIFIC FOOD REACTIONS Testing is the first step of the specific food reaction diet. It determines the foods your child reacts to. There are three basic ways to test for food reactions: They are: (1) skin testing, (2) blood testing, and (3) elimination challenge testing (in which a patient eats a food to see if it causes a reaction)." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"A reasonable daily dosage is in the range of one to two drops, mixed in olive oil, or taken as capsules, depending upon the patient and circumstances. Capryllic acid. This fatty acid has been shown to be effective against viruses and bacteria. Some clinicians believe it is also an effective antifungal, and apply it against yeast overgrowth.

Olive leaf extract This herbal extract is effective against a range of infectious conditions that are caused by viruses and bacteria." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"For example, one thousand active units of one type of lipase (the enzyme that digests fats) has the potential to release one thousand bonds of essential fatty acids from olive oil per minute. When the lab technician tests the enzyme for its activity, however, she does so in a controlled environment in which the temperature and pH are closely regulated. To measure the activity of the lipase mentioned above, a lab technician will expose a measured amount of the enzyme to a fat (olive oil), in a pH of 7 at a temperature of 86 degrees to determine its active units." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"The diet also involves a high amount of olive oil consumption, and reduces heart disease and cancer risk and prolongs life.6 People who followed this diet had their mortality cut in half over a four-year period. This delicious diet substitutes unsaturated fats (seed oils) and monoun-saturated fats (olive oil) for saturated fats (butter, animal fat) and also includes wine and nuts. Patients with heart disease who followed the Mediterranean diet had a 50% to 70% reduction in recurrent heart attacks." - J.

"Olive Oil A popular lay remedy for gallstones is the so-called olive oil "liver flush." There are several variations. A typical one involves drinking 1 cup of unrefined olive oil with the juice of two lemons in the morning for several days. Many people tell tales of passing huge stones while on the liver flush. However, what they think are gallstones are simply a soft saponified complex of minerals, olive oil, and lemon juice produced within the gastrointestinal tract. The olive oil liver flush is probably undesirable for patients with gallstones for several reasons." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book.)

"The concept of double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover research requires the selection of placebo substances known to be biologically inert. olive oil is not biologically inert. In fact, it is known to have its own health-benefiting effects, especially in the realm of cardiovascular health where fish oil is also operative. Therefore, the use of olive oil as a placebo relative to fish oil may mask the beneficial effects of fish oil." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Although not an extremely low-fat diet, consisting of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, seafood and olive oil with limited meat and dairy (mostly cheese), the Mediterranean diet offers a high intake of neutral or beneficial fats found in olive and walnut oils. Low breast cancer rates of Greek and southern Italian women may be attributed to the protective effects of these beneficial omega-3s." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Intolerance to olive Oil If you are allergic to olive oil or cannot tolerate it, you may use clear macadamia oil, expeller-pressed or cold-pressed grape seed oil, sunflower oil, or other expeller-pressed oils instead. Don't use canola, soy oil, or similar processed oils. Please note that extra virgin olive oil still appears to be the most effective oil for liver cleansing." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"This is not to say there's no biological effect from adding olive oil and nuts to your diet, even a low-fat diet. Your lipid profile will look better, more pleasing to those who define risks and hazards. But the reduction in hazard is very small. Don't feel remiss if you don't like nuts or olives. This, too, is much ado about the miniscule. I feel the same about the craze to eat fish, or at least consume the particular omega-3 fatty acids found in finfish or shellfish." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"In a test of olive oils, researchers found anticarcinogenic properties in monounsaturated fat. That would mean that olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fat, is not only a heart helper but may also deter cancer. That helps explain why, compared to northern Europeans, southern Europeans, whose diets tend to overflow with the oil, have lower rates of both heart disease and cancer. YOU Tip: Tea It Up. Green tea has been shown to have the highest content of polyphenols, which are chemicals with potent antioxidant properties (believed to be greater than even vitamin C)." - Mehmet C.

"But you make beets with a little garlic and olive oil and a nice light cheese on it. Oh! They're just so good. But you have to make them that way, so that your kids will like them.'' In other words, if you're in the habit of preparing delicious versions of these same foods at home, your kids will be capable of distinguising the good from the bad. They can dislike overcooked school-cafeteria beets and love your beets. So make sure your kids are getting the healthiest possible diet at home. Keep sweets to a minimum." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Caprylic acid. olive leaf extract Garlic. Lauricidin. Creatine. Carnosine. • SAMe. It's common for me to give a specific patient all of the Tier One supplements, plus a number of the Tier Two supplements, plus several of the Tier Three supplements. They may be taken in various combinations. It all depends upon the patient. I typically recommend supplements according to these three fundamental, clinical issues: • Deficiencies, as established by laboratory testing, and by symptomatology." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "For cooking, it is best to not use butter substitutes, but to use oils, such as olive oil or sunflower oil. Although real butter does contain casein, as well as lactose, they are present in relatively small amounts. Some people who are mildly sensitive to casein or lactose can tolerate real butter, in moderation. Nondairy yogurts, cheeses, and sour cream are available, and some of them are tasty and satisfying. Because individual tastes vary so much, you should experiment with various nondairy products to see which ones your children enjoy." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Eat adequate omega-3 fatty acids (from fish, nuts, beans, olive oil) or supplement with omega-3 fatty acids by rotating your consumption of fish, flax, and EPA/DHA oils. Rotate these with borage and evening primrose oils that provide a natural blend of omega-3 and omega-6, particularly helpful to hormone balance. • Exercise thirty minutes each day, ideally. • Maintain a normal weight. Cancer and Diet Most people develop cancer from an environmental exposure affecting a genetic tendency. We also know that such genetic tendencies can be improved by the foods we eat." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"As a sample of the evidence to date, eating soy, chicken, olive oil or using a low-calorie or Mediterranean diet are all associated with a lower risk of cancer. More than 30% of cancers are thought to be preventable with dietary means. A diet rich in a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes is thought to offer the body many nutrients to help fight cancer development. What should you avoid? Alcohol, aspartame and barbecued meats are on the list of foods that may increase the risk of cancer. Want an easy rule of thumb?" - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Portuguese and Spanish olive growers complained bitterly in the early 1990s when years of high indices decimated their harvests. Gstaad and other fashionable Alpine ski resorts suffered through unusually poor snow conditions. In contrast, a low index means shallower pressure gradients, weaker westerlies, and much colder temperatures over the European continent. Cold air from the north and east flows from the North Pole and Siberia. Snow blankets Europe, and icy road conditions cause chain-reaction accidents and other havoc on German autobahns." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Water or olive oil is preferable. Salmon, herring, halibut, lake trout, mackerel, sardines, and even anchovies are all high in omega-3 s. As a bonus, fish is also a rich source of CoQIO. • For flavor, use a selection of vinegars (red wine, balsamic), as well as fresh basil, oregano, bay leaf, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, and fennel. Asian seasonings include coriander seeds, cardamom pods, cumin, ground ginger, sesame seeds, cloves, and Szechuan peppercorns. Avoid packets of prepared combination seasonings, as well as condiments such as hoisin sauce, mango chutney, and fish sauce." - 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.) "Just a slight reduction in saturated fat intake, along with the use of olive oil, may markedly drop the requirement for medication. 6. Low sodium. The program limits the amount of salt used to season meals. A diet high in sodium increases water retention. In turn, the added volume of fluid forces the heart to work harder to move blood through the body. 7. Nuts and seeds. These often forgotten foods are rich in good essential fatty acids, healthy protein, and fiber. They contain phytosterols, compounds that inhibit the body's ability to absorb dietary cholesterol. 8. Garlic." - 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.)

"Heavy liquid at room temperature, such as olive oil. Polyunsaturated Fat or Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid PUFA An oil with many open (unsaturated) areas on its fatty acids. Light in color and liquid at room temperature. The more unsaturated, the lighter the liquid (for example, safflower oil versus olive oil). Omega-3 Oil or Omega-3 PUFA 0-3 A PUFA in which the unsaturated areas are in a unique location, the third bond from the omega end. Omega-6 Oil or Omega-6 PUFA 0-6 A PUFA in which the unsaturated areas are in a unique location, the sixth bond from the omega end." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"He avoids sugar and processed foods while eating plenty of good protein and healthy fats from olive oil, walnuts, and almonds. Plus he takes niacin (vitamin B-3), a fabulous supplement for raising HDL. When Dr. Sinatra first saw Lou, his HDL level was 31. At a recent checkup it was 68. Niacin has been a pillar of our supplement program for years. Lars Carlson of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm calls niacin a "miracle drug" for all the lipid disorders that are risk factors for atherosclerosis. Niacin lowers the levels of LDL cholesterol and Lp(a), and, as Dr." - 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.)

"By contrast, ingesting monounsaturated fats, as found in olive oil, reduces breast cancer risk by 45 percent. This phenomenon is easy to understand. Once in contact with air, polyunsaturated fats attract many oxygen free radicals and become oxidized, that is, they turn rancid. Oxygen free radicals are generated when oxygen molecules lose an electron. This makes them highly reactive. Eating these aggressive fats causes them to attach to cell membranes in a manner similar to an oil slick in the sea engulfing and suffocating birds and sea creatures." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Other good fats are monounsaturated (omega-9) fatty acids (primarily found in olive oil, avocado, and nuts), as well other healthy saturated fats normally found in salmon, walnuts, olives, lamb and goat meat, goat's and sheep's milk and cheese, and other properly prepared dairy products. Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature, and are normally found in tropical oils such as processed coconut, palm and palm kernel oils. . You should be aware that when EFAs are heated, their bonds change and they soon become trans fatty acids." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"You can also ask if they have olive oil to use instead of butter on bread or potato or to use (with or without vinegar) instead of the high-salt salad dressing. Helpful Tools Your journey to excellent health will be made much easier if you have all of the tools you need in your kitchen. You may already have everything you need to start cooking, but take a few minutes to make sure you are supplied with these important basics: • Colander • Garlic press • Food chopper • Vegetable juicer • High-powered blender • Pressure cooker A powerful blender such as the Vita-Mix is very helpful." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"Other foods that contain high levels of sitosterol are avocados, grape leaves, olive oil, corn oil, lentils, and even baking chocolate. Nuts such as macadamia nuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, and almonds are also good sources of phytosterols. Wheat germ and sesame seeds contain the highest amounts of phytosterols (400 mg/100 gm of nuts), and pistachios and sunflower kernels have the next highest (280 mg/100 gm of nuts)." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)
