"You can find a body brush in health food stores and even most conventional drugstores. Brushing the skin stimulates circulation and helps to open pores to eliminate toxins. You can massage and brush toddlers, too, as long as you're extremely gentle. For babies, a little massage before bathtime serves a similar purpose. • Sea salt baths are wonderful detoxifiers. You can buy solar sea salt rocks in health food stores. Brenda Brock's Farmaesthetics (www.farmaesthetics.com) and Susan Ciminelli (www.susanciminelli." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Nut milk is somewhat less commercially available than goat's milk, soy milk, and rice milk, but various brands can be found at many health food stores. Nut milk is creamy and satisfying, but it does not taste as much like cow's milk as does goat's, soy, or rice milk. Oat milk is generally thick and rich. It does contain gluten, and is not appropriate for the GF/CF diet, but is acceptable for people who are reactive to milk, but not to gluten. Soy ice cream is usually delicious." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Starving for new information, massive numbers of patients are consulting alternative therapy practitioners, and are visiting book and health food stores in record numbers, creating a multibillion-dollar industry outside of the mainstream medical community. Consider that in 1990, almost 33 percent of the population spent 22 percent of their out-of-pocket dollars on alternative therapy, and these numbers keep rising. In 1997 an estimated four out of every ten adults included some form of alternative therapy, such as herbal medicine, massage, and vitamins, in their med- 5 ical or health care." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "BACKGROUND AND STUDIES OF COENZYME Q10 Anyone can purchase any number of brands of coenzyme Qi0 in health food stores today. Unfortunately, without massive physician education supported by pharmaceutical representation, coenzyme Qi0 will likely remain controversial. Coenzyme Qi0 will finally receive the respect it deserves when the weight of the evidence is so overwhelming that the broad medical community can no longer disregard it." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "In the 1990s, coenzyme Q10 became a top-selling supplement in health food stores when consumers, reading about its healing potential for so many medical problems, began buying it for themselves. Today, the Internet is crowded with coenzyme Qio wholesalers and those who just want a billboard on which to place their latest coenzyme Qi0 success stories. As of today, there are well over 100 observational, epidemiological, and population studies on coenzyme Qio, and research continues at a fevered pace." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"The nuts and seeds obtained from health food stores or conventional markets are susceptible to rancidity, as they may have been stored on the shelf, possibly for long periods of time. Ideally nuts and seeds should be stored in the freezer or refrigerator to prevent the oils from going rancid. If this is not possible, store them in a cool, dark, dry place. Be especially careful with high-oil-content nuts and seeds like Brazil nuts, macadamias, and pine/pignoli nuts. If they look yellow, it is likely that they are rancid." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Raw, unprocessed coconut oil smells fragrant like fresh coconuts, while most commercial coconut oils, including the brands commonly found in health food stores, are often deodorized and heat-processed, and therefore are not recommended. Cold-pressed coconut oil is available from the Health Store on the Tree of Life website. The saturated fats in coconut oil are medium-chain fats (triglycerides, or MCTs) and therefore unlike most other sources of saturated fats (long-chain triglycerides), which are stored in the body as fat reserves." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Use any assortment of chopped or shredded raw vegetables. health food stores often have sprouted lentils and beans, which are nice additions to any salad. You can also easily sprout grains and seeds yourself. Try adding new things to your salad like frozen peas and corn, very finely chopped onion, canned beans, snow pea pods, leftover cooked potato or sweet potato, leftover steamed vegetables, and fresh or dried fruits. The most critical mistake to avoid in salads is adding too many calories from oil or too much salt from a commercial salad dressing." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.) "The unsalted canned beans that are available in health food stores or the health food section of your supermarket are preferable. If using salted canned beans, rinse them before using. Dried legumes and beans are a very economical, high-nutrient food. If you are on a food budget, use lots of dried beans in your cooking and also sprout whole beans and grains for some of your vegetable needs. You can soak the whole beans in water overnight in a jar and rinse and drain the water out for the next few days, until you have the sprouts to use." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.) "Bottled carrot juice can be purchased from a health food store for convenience, but you really cannot compare the flavor of the soup when you use carrot juice made fresh from organic carrots. Some health food stores have juice bars where you could purchase fresh squeezed juices for use in your soups if you do not want to juice carrots at home. For those busy days, take a look at the Quick and Easy Meal Suggestions we have included after the Phase 1 sample menus. The first basic cooking technique you will learn is water sauteing (also called sweating). This is used instead of cooking with oil." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"You can buy solar sea salt rocks in health food stores. Brenda Brock's Farmaesthetics (www.farmaesthetics.com) and Susan Ciminelli (www.susanciminelli.com) both make wonderful solar sea salts, with sprigs of lavender and other healing, relaxing essential oils added. • Apple cider vinegar baths (see opposite) are both detoxifying and extremely relaxing. • When bathing babies, toddlers, and young children, always keep the doors and windows of the bathroom wide open. You don't want your kids breathing in the chlorine vapors from the steam." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "For healthier alternatives for your baby, natural and organic products are available at many major food stores and mass merchandisers, as well as health food stores. But be careful: 1,4 dioxane does not need to be listed among a product's ingredients (because it is a byproduct of manufacturing, not an additive) and it may be present even in some so-called "natural" products made by major retailers. For more information on these issues, see the Environmental Working Group's coverage (www.safecosmetics.org/newsroom/press.cfmPpressReleaseID-21)." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"There are numerous colostrum preparations available at health food stores, but these contain only a small amount of transfer factor, and often contain casein. Actual, purified transfer factor, which is free from casein and other allergens, can be obtained from a number of sources. Transfer factor can be used to help the immune system prevent illness, or it can be used as an adjunct to medications, herbs, and nutrients. It can sometimes help remediate chronic immune dysfunction. I frequently recommend it to children who suffer from recurrent infections, autoimmune disorders, and allergies." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Herbal Parasite Formulas Many health food stores carry a good herbal combination for killing parasites. They usually contain wormwood, male fern root, clove bud, garlic and/or black walnut. These formulas do work well for some people. However, they must be taken with probiotics because they sometimes destroy the good flora along with the bad. Probiotics Probiotics such as acidophilus and Bifidobacterium are beneficial bacteria which are found in kefir and yogurt. If you like these products, use an unsweetened variety." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"This enzyme, available at most health food stores, is known as peptidase. It's also important to be compassionate with your kids when they do go off the diet. The GF/CF diet can be hard for kids. It's also hard for parents to keep kids on the diet, so be compassionate with yourself, too, if your kids have problems. Don't feel guilty. Guilt won't solve the problems you face, and will only make you feel worse. After kids have been off casein for three weeks, if there have been no apparent positive responses or changes, allow them to have some, to see if symptoms return or worsen." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Gerdes: "People read about food allergies in books they find in health food stores, but then they go to a traditional physician who thinks about allergies in a classic way. So he says, 'Well, this person is talking about something that is really rare.' But in fact, food intolerance or hypersensitivity is much more common. We have to be careful when we talk about allergies, to be sure we know whether we are speaking of the classical definition or the second, more common type. "Many people do have significant symptoms related to foods, and these are not rare foods." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"You can buy most of these supplements in health food stores. If you can't, we'll let you know where you can get them. This principle of team nutritional medicine makes perfect sense, but for many it takes a long time to understand. Unfortunately, many researchers and health care providers still don't get it. And the consumers are left totally confused by a barrage of conflicting media reports that give shallow information based on flawed studies. As an example, take a Finnish study covered widely in the press a few years ago." - 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.) "These substances are all commonly available as nutritional supplements in health food stores. The researchers concluded that antioxidants appear to be "promising" countermeasures for protection from adverse biologic effects caused by radiation. PART TWO How to Get Unclogged Chapter 4 Tests You Need Amiddle-aged dentist with a family history of cardiovascular disease and sudden death made an appointment after one of our lectures. He wanted a full screen of his blood—all the New Cardiology risk factors." - 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.) "You can find it at Japanese grocers or health food stores. As for K-2 in supplement form, it is currently available only in low doses in a handful of bone formulas, not significant enough to have an effect against plaque. Dr. Sinatra has been developing a vitamin K-2 supplement, containing 150 meg, which will be available in early 2007. We think that a daily intake level of 150 meg will be needed. If you take Coumadin, you shouldn't take a vitamin K supplement, as it will neutralize Coumadin. Chapter 7 Supplements The ATP/Energy Boosters A Medical Resurrection One day in 1996, 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.) "You can readily find nattokinase in health food stores. L-arginine The most important determinant of cardiovascular well-being—or lack of it—is the biochemical health of the endothelium, the single layer of cells lining the interior wall of the blood vessels. You'll likely be fine if you have a significant narrowing of your coronary arteries but good endothelial function. If you have a 40 percent narrowing but terrible endothelial function, your prospects are poor. Biochemistry supercedes anatomy. It determines cardiovascular life or death." - 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.)

"There are wild yam (Dioscorea) and soy-based progesterone creams available over the counter in many health food stores, which do not require a prescription. Wild yam has a mild progesterone effect, but it does not raise your body's own progesterone level. This may be fine for young women with mild PMS symptoms, but for most of us older per-imenopausal women it won't be strong enough. Most over-the-counter creams have only very small amounts of progesterone (10 to 20 mg per tsp), and many may not have any progesterone at all." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "These high doses are typically what you will find in most health food stores, so be aware when shopping what dose you are buying. DHEA is generally taken in the morning, particularly if you have symptoms of low energy. If you have trouble sleeping as well, you should begin to notice that your sleep is deepening after a couple of weeks, as your DHEA levels are restoring. Occasionally I will recommend a small nighttime dose (not more than 5 to 10 mg) at bedtime to further improve sleep." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "You can grind flaxseeds in a coffee grinder or simply buy flax meal, available in most health food stores. A 2004 study published in the Clinical Journal of Nutrition showed that when women ate a muffin with 25 grams of flax meal daily (a little less than one ounce) they had an improved ratio of 2-OH to 16-OH estrogen metabolites. I recommend that women who are on hormone support, or have a history of breast cancer or a strong family history of breast cancer, use one to two tablespoons of ground flaxseeds per day for lignan benefits." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Zyflamend can be found in quality health food stores nationwide. 13 Comitris For some 400 million years, sharks have inhabited the oceans of the world, living long and, for the most part, cancer-free lives, despite the increased toxins and pollutants introduced into their habitats. Sharks' ability to adapt to and remain healthy in their environment may be linked to the cartilage that makes up their skeletons. A strong, connective tissue, like that in the human ear, cartilage appears to inhibit angiogenesis, which is the development of blood vessels that feed tumors." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "FINAL THOUGHTS Shown to help in conjunction with cancer treatment, Krallendorn/Saventaro cat's claw, manufactured in Europe by IMMODAL Pharmaka and distributed in North America by Enzymatic Therapy, is available at health food stores and natural product supermarkets nationwide. 6 Flax Lignans or centuries, people have sung the praises of flaxseeds, used for food, med- J. icine, and to make fibers. Their scientific name, Linum usitatissimum, appropriately means "most useful." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Flax supplements are also available in capsule form at health food stores. Be sure to purchase cold-milled select flaxseed that is 100 percent organic and, therefore, pesticide- and herbicide-free. Such a milling process carefully liberates naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, amino acids, lignans, and phy-tonutrients without damaging delicate omega-3 fatty acids. Concurrently, the surface area of both soluble and insoluble fibers is greatly increased for maximum benefit. Dr." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "FINAL THOUGHTS Please note that silver formulations sold in health food stores should not be confused with medical drugs and devices. Silver formulations are considered dietary supplements to support your health but not cure diseases. 11 RM-10 With prevention being the key to "treating" cancer, maintaining a strong immune system is essential for protecting your body from disease-causing invaders. You can think of your immune system as a barrier that keeps "bad" things out. The more you do to strengthen your immune system, the better it will serve you." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Pork"and Beans In health food stores, and now in many supermarkets, you can find an assortment of soy "hot dogs." Pick your family s favorite for this dish. 1 package soy frankfurters 3 cups cooked red kidney beans 1 onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tomato, chopped Split the franks lengthwise and place them on the grill or the griddle to cook. Heat until they are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Set aside. Add the cooked beans, the onion, garlic, and tomato to a skillet. Saute over low heat, scraping the bottom of the pan so the beans don't stick, for about 8 minutes." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Examples of these types of products include tofii sour cream, soy cheese, and soy yogurt. health food stores and many supermarkets carry a variety of these products. SOURCES OF CALCIUM OTHER THAN MILK People who react to dairy products can ensure adequate calcium intake by taking supplements, or by eating lots of the following calcium-rich foods. Some of these foods have even more calcium than milk, and others have almost as much. As a rule, it's most practical to simply take a supplement, because they are safe, inexpensive, and provide an abundant supply." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Try homeopathic remedies to ease your addiction: these are easily obtainable at health food stores or pharmacies. Enjoy the financial incentive. Just work out how much you used to spend on cigarettes each week (most people are horrified when they do). How much is that a year? That would pay for a terrific holiday, even a new car over a couple of years. Save the money you used to spend on cigarettes and give yourself a special treat. At least once a week reward yourself by buying or doing something that makes you feel good." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)
