 "To prepare the wine a large handful of Juniper berries is placed in a gallon of any kind of good quality wine. The bottle is capped and allowed to stand for three weeks. During this period the bottle is shaken thoroughly once a day. At the end of three weeks the berries are strained off and thrown away.
The Juniper wine is used as a kidney and stomach tonic. One small wineglass of the wine is taken a day.
Juniper Berry Oil. Commercial oil of Juniper berries sold on the market is obtained chiefly from the ripe fruit."- Richard Lucas, Secrets of the Chinese Herbalists (Get the book.) |
 "Then I dropped the bomb: there are other substances in wine that should give us pause.
California wines, especially, are problematic since grapes from that state contain rather high levels of fluoride. Apparently, vineyards there use fluoride as a pesticide—in addition to watering with fluoridated water. As one of the most reactive chemicals in the periodic chart, fluoride binds tightly to the plant proteins and cannot be removed. Most grape products in fact, especially juices, contain high levels of fluoride and should be avoided.
Another problem with wines is that they all contain sulfites."- Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) |
| "Exchange Dandelion wine for Dandelion "Coffee"
The writer Ray Bradbury may have popularized dandelion wine, but cardiologists are hoping to spread the good word on dandelion coffee. Dandelions—yes, the weeds that grow in your lawn—have a twofold benefit for your health: Folks with high cholesterol can use dandelions to reduce cholesterol levels and kick a coffee habit.
You can make a healthful brew using dandelion roots and your trusty coffee grinder:
1 Get some dandelions, fresh from a pesticide-free field (or buy the roots at an herb shop). Then wash the roots thoroughly." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.) |
 "To taste a wine and judge its quality, they take a sip, hold the wine in their mouths, suck some air in through the teeth, and then tilt their heads back just a bit to let the wine flow to the critical region where they gurgle it. This procedure presents the wine to the maximum number of taste buds while simultaneously allowing it to vaporize and stimulate odor receptors in the nose. In contrast, bad wine (or fast food for that matter) is best dealt with by the tip of the tongue and swallowed as fast as possible."- Michael Gershon, The Second Brain: A Groundbreaking New Understanding of Nervous Disorders of the Stomach and Intestine (Get the book.) |
 "It is quite small, and you get five to six glasses to the 750 ml bottle of wine. Restaurants and private homes do usually use much bigger glasses, so a glass then might quite easily be two "drinks" or more than two units.
A bigger problem, though, is that a standard glass of wine can have different levels of alcohol. Average alcohol by volume is nearer 11-12%, the exception being some light Hock-style wines, which can be as low as 8-9%, and low-alcohol wines, which are usually 3-5%. Some wines can go as high as 14-18% alcohol by volume."- Judith Wills, The Food Bible (Get the book.) |
| "While this seems to explain the phenomenon, little was known about how well wine flavonoids worked in humans. Using human volunteers, he found that supplying 400 mg of red wine a day for two weeks to these happy guinea pigs, significantly reduced the ability of LDL to be oxidized in the presence of copper, a standard measure of LDL oxidizability.369 Other studies did not reproduce this effect.370 In fact, this same study found that white wine actually increased the risk of oxidizing LDL." - Russell L.

| "In fact, this same study found that white wine actually increased the risk of oxidizing LDL.
Another way red wine may reduce atherosclerosis is by the action of flavonoids, such as catechin, epicatechin, and quercetin, to bind free iron. In humans, drinking red wine, especially with bread, significantly inhibits iron absorption.371 This is an important property since as we age we absorb and retain more iron in our tissues, which leads to increased free-radical injury." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) |
 "Among the many ways wine is rated, graded, and weighted today, it is measured on a "sugar scale." Typical table wine runs from 0 to 3 on the sugar scale. Ice wine runs from 18 to 28.
The shrunken nature of the grapes is due to water loss. Chemically speaking, it's not difficult to guess why grapes might have evolved to offload water at the onset of a freeze—the less water in the grape, the fewer ice crystals there are to damage the delicate membranes of the fruit.
How about the sharp increase in sugar concentration? That makes sense too."- Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.) |

 "Of these, she finds, "Alcoholic drinks, in particular red (but not white) wine, head the list."
Dr. Littlewood decided to conduct a research project on the red wine connection. She recruited 19 patients who reported that red wine brought on their headaches. Eleven were asked to drink a red wine-lemonade mixture. The others were offered vodka with their lemonade. Of the 11 who were given the red wine and lemonade, all but 2 experienced a migraine attack. Yet of the 8 who drank vodka and lemonade, none complained of headache symptoms.

 "He learned from the children that she drank wine to relax. So he cleared off a chair in advance for her, poured a glass of wine, and placed it on a nearby table.
When the mother arrived, Earl held her at gunpoint while doing everything he could to reassure her that he wouldn't hurt her or the children. He told her to sit in the chair and then he bound her feet with duct tape. But he neglected to bind her hands and absentmindedly left the scissors on the floor within easy reach."- Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) |

 "The precise amount of wine needed to reap any possible benefits of resveratrol is unknown and will vary depending on your size and weight. As a general rule, you should try to limit yourself to no more than two glasses a night. Recent studies have linked moderate intake of alcohol with a 45 percent less risk of developing dementia.13 It is believed that moderate consumption of alcohol may protect the brain by inhibiting inflammation and blood clots.
In 2006, 2,258 Medicare recipients in Manhattan not diagnosed with a form of dementia were evaluated over a fourteen-year period."- Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) |
 "Hold a "Blind" wine Tasting
Invite family and/or friends to bring a botde of a particular kind so that you'll be comparing similar wines. The ritual of a wine tasting involves at least three of your senses. wine experts judge the color, the aroma, and the taste (sweet, sour, sharp, soft, fruity, heavy, light, complex, oaky, and how it will taste in conjunction with specific foods). Of course, too much tasting can also bring your emotions and sense of balance into play, so be moderate.

| "Some scholars propose that the decline of the Roman Empire may have been hastened by endemic lead poisoning—a theory supported by archaeological data showing high lead concentrations in the remains of Roman aristocrats who presumably ingested excessive amounts of wine laced with lead and took in lead particles from water pipes.33
Today exposure to lead—whether it be in drinking water, in paint, in contaminated dust, or in soil—poses a significant health risk to the neurological development of young children and adults, although adults are more resistant to the effects of poisoning." - Peter J.

| "At last, the earth will sweeten and the waters turn to wine, the wish-fulfilling trees will yield their bounty of delights to a blissful population of perfectly wedded twins; and the happiness of this community again will be doubled, and the wheel, through ten millions of ten millions of one hundred millions of one hundred million periods of countless years, will approach the point of beginning the downward revolution, which again will increasing noise of unwholesome merrymaking, warfare, and pestilential winds." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) |
 "Maybe they even offer you a glass of wine or dessert, courtesy of the airline. Everything is going great. Your fantastic vacation is just the way you planned it: the perfect Caribbean holiday. You've been looking forward to this day for ages—away from the world, away from the distractions.
Now imagine checking into your five-star resort hotel. You love your room. You are now walking out to the beach. You smell the food from the restaurant. You have your bathing suit on and you have your towel. You pick out a lounge chair by the sea. There is sun, but not too much."- Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) |
 "All wineries use malic acid to produce wine. (See Suppliers List in the Appendix.)
Cranberry juice also contains much malic acid and can be used for the preparation period (4 ounces of juice mixed with 4 ounces of water, 4 times per day for 6 days). It can also be combined with apple juice. There is added benefit if some cranberry juice is used each day for two or three weeks before liver cleansing.
Another alternative is gold coin grass. Use the same directions as given for those who are intolerant to apple juice."- Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.) |
 "Alcoholic Beverages
Moderate intake of alcohol is defined as no more than one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men, where 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits count as a serving. The alcohol guideline also lists individuals who should not drink (see Table 3).
9. Food Safety
Concerns about foodborne illness led to the inclusion of a guideline on food safety in both 2000 and 2005. The U.S. Government Accounting Office has estimated a range of 6.5 to 33 million cases of foodborne illness a year [42]."- Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) |
| "Many of us are flown around the world by drug companies who pamper us, wine and dine us, and try to co-opt us into endorsing their products so that their markets can expand. As of Spring 2007,1 have carried out my last consulting obligations and will accept no more consulting money directly from drug companies.
As I mentioned, the mass media also plays a fundamental role in disseminating the war metaphors." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) |
| "The earth was sweet as sugar; the ocean as delicious as wine. And then again, before this happy age, there had been a period happier still—precisely twice as happy—when men and women had been eight miles tall, possessing each two hundred and fifty-six ribs. When those superlative people died, they passed directly to the world of the gods, without ever having heard of religion, for their natural virtue was as perfect as their beauty.
The Jains conceive of time as an endless round. Time is pictured as a wheel with twelve spokes, or ages, classified in two sets of six." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) |
 "Flavor companies are huge plants comprised of a small and elite group of skilled scientists ("food technologists" or "flavorists") who work in labs to find the right chemical balance in test tubes to give you the flavor of those french fries, and even the flavor in toothpastes, ice cream, breakfast cereals, chips, pet food, cookies, mouthwashes, antacids, soft drinks, sports drinks, bottled teas, wine coolers, all-natural juice drinks, organic soy drinks, beers, and malt liquors.

| "Like resveratrol in wine, curcumin is a polyphenol that is thought to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and even anti-amyloid properties. Previous studies in mice have shown that a diet high in curcumin appears to both lower inflammatory agents (cytokines) in the brain and significantly reduce the formation of beta-amyloid protein depositions." - Peter J.

 "Wine bottles sold in California no longer use lead-foil wrappers, protecting consumers from wine with unacceptably high levels of lead. Meanwhile, major manufacturers have asserted that Proposition 65, with its labeling demands, "provided an opportunity to improve product performance." The resulting products—from white-out to paint stripper—worked effectively and cost no more. They were better products, though.

 "The invited physicians and their spouses enjoyed golf, wine tasting, horseback riding, and the European spa at the resort, before being whisked off by chauffeurs to watch the athletic events. Parke-Davis paid for everything, from the couples'airfares to Atlanta to their tickets to Olympic Stadium. The physicians and their guests could lunch on fine French cuisine on the hotel patio, before enjoying massages and herbal wraps at the spa. They did not need their own credit cards. All they had to do was write "Parke-Davis" on the checks."- Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) |
 "My vision fades as I look across the field at this most common of weeds, smiling to myself with the task at hand, blossoms for wine and an evolutionary leap—all in a day's work.
Dandelion is probably the most well-known plant in the world, even to people who are not familiar with plants, due to its pervasiveness and tenacity. Unfortunately, this abundant plant has been misunderstood, and has been considered by many a pesky weed to pull and discard. The truth of dandelion is that it is one of the best plants there is for tonifying and supporting the liver."- Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
| "But when he sat down and set his fingers to the roast, it was transmuted; at his lips the wine became liquid gold. And when his little daughter, whom he loved beyond anything on earth, came to console him in his misery, she became, the moment he embraced her, a pretty golden statue.
The agony of breaking through personal limitations is the agony of spiritual growth. Art, literature, myth and cult, philosophy, and ascetic disciplines are instruments to help the individual past his limiting horizons into spheres of ever-expanding realization." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) |
| "For the sales reps promoting Vioxx for Merck, their every action and word, down to the way they shook hands or ordered wine when dining with physicians, were suggested by a corporate script. A training manual informed the sales reps that a handshake should start and stop "crisply," be "firm but painless," and last three seconds. In restaurants, a sales rep was expected not to "order a cheeseburger if your guest orders lobster" and to eat bread "one small bitesize piece at a time." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "While their advertisements played during the evening news, Merck and Pharmacia were uncorking bottles of wine at thousands of dinners where they entertained the nation's doctors. In 2001 Pharmacia promoted Celebrex to medical professionals at some nine thousand dinners, meetings, and other events, while Merck hosted seventy-six hundred similar events to push Vioxx. The companies hired legions of doctors to speak at these parties, which were held in towns and cities across America at a rate of more than forty a day." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) |
