 Nature cannot be trusted. All herbs must be "standardized" to be safe. And even then, they're still useless.
Phytochemicals only act in isolation. Scientists can understand the physiological action of plant chemicals by isolating them, synthesizing them, and testing them one by one. There is no such thing as "synergistic action" with phytochemicals.
The only use for plant chemicals is to serve as ideas from which drug companies can synthesize patented drugs. |

 When making an omelet, add snippets of spinach, arugula, or other leafy greens and fresh herbs such as basil, sage, and rosemary. Or serve your poached or fried eggs with sauteed spinach, bok choy, chard, or any leftover cooked veggies. žIf you can't imagine an omelet without cheese, cut back on the quantity of cheese and slowly eliminate it until you have a cheese-free one. Use other "Friendly Vegetables" and seasonings in its stead. I transitioned to sliced avocado instead of cheese and never missed it. |

 For example, if Decleor Paris believes these areas are "delicate," then why did they include problematic iris extract and herbs such as Bupleurum falcatum root, which do not have established safety records for topical application (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com). This creamy moisturizer has some beneficial ingredients for dry skin, but it's not an antiwrinkle product with "corrective action" and is very overpriced for what you get. The fragrance components it contains are best kept away from the eyes and mouth.

 The holistic veterinarians understand nutrition, herbs, homeopathy and other natural modalities. They prescribe solutions and treat animals in ways that are outlawed in human medicine (because they actually work). If you care at all about the health of your pets, I strongly urge you to seek out and work with a holistic pet care practitioner who avoids prescribing pharmaceuticals. |

Chicken and Black Soybean QueJsadilla CaAAerole
PHASE 1, SERVES 4
Most casseroles are based on pasta or other starches, but not this one, which I surgically remodeled from a high-starch version in Cooking Light. You can make it ahead and refrigerate or freeze until needed. Be sure to use black soybeans, not black beans. Queso bianco is a Mexican cheese that doesn't melt. Or substitute shredded soy Jack cheese. |

 Herb Scones: Add V2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh herbs of your choice.
Herb Bannock: This resembles afocaccia, is quick to make, and is a great snack. Add V2 cup fresh herbs to the oatmeal scone dough. Divide the dough in half and follow the instructions for making the bannock shape. Make indentations all over the dough with your fingertips. Spray the tops lightly with water from a pump sprayer and sprinkle with coarse salt or soy Parmesan, or top with steam-fried or grilled chopped mushrooms, garlic, bell peppers, and/or onions. Serve with balsamic vinegar for dipping. |

 This statement holds true when comparing all natural products to synthetic products, including vitamins, minerals, and herbs. It is a common-sense argument to use a natural product over a foreign substance to treat disease and promote health, and there are multiple studies that back up this idea.
FINAL THOUGHTS
When there are bioidentical natural versions of a hormone available, the synthetic versions should not be used. Provera? the synthetic version of progesterone (see Figure 1) should never be used. |

 This is how doctors have come to believe the incredible: That food has nothing to do with health, that antioxidants will kill you, that herbs interfere with drugs, and that only drugs can treat or cure disease. It's a cult-like belief system handed down by the high priests of conventional medicine, and if this intricate web of false beliefs was actually subjected to genuine scientific scrutiny, it would crumble into a thousand pieces of junk science and marketing propaganda. |

 It's interesting that the more money the FDA takes from drug companies, the more frequent the pronouncements that herbs, foods and nutritional supplements are dangerous for human health. Patented pharmaceuticals, meanwhile, are safe enough to prescribe to infants, the agency claims. What a coincidence that the drug companies only developed synthetic chemicals that happen to be completely safe for human consumption!
Hearing the FDA claim it is engaged in nutritional science is sort of like listening to Philip Morris announce its latest findings on the safety of secondhand smoke. |

| In the case of a diabetic, using chromium piccolinate, certain herbs, and fiber has been thought to moderate blood sugar levels. Before arbitrarily adding such supplements to your treatment protocol, consider what this moderation in blood sugar will do to insulin and prescriptions used to lower blood sugar.
Truth in labeling and manipulation by various components of the food industry make it very difficult to choose nutrition wisely. It is a well-known fact that oatmeal bread —hyped as a healthy choice — contains only minimal amount of oat flour when compared to the wheat flour content. |
| This includes drugs, food additives, nutriceuticals, herbs, or anything else eaten, absorbed through the skin, injected, etc. What does your body consider "foreign"?
The other important question is: What is the common denominator between food and drugs? Answer: The regulatory agency known as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The source of information you use to protect yourself from charlatans and unscrupulous entrepreneurs is extremely important. |

 Don't be fooled by fancy-sounding herbs or other ingredients that appear very far down the list. Some food manufacturer that includes "goji berries" towards the end of the list is probably just using it as a marketing gimmick on the label. The actual amount of goji berries in the product is likely miniscule.
4. Remember that ingredients lists don't have to list chemical contaminants. Foods can be contaminated with pesticides, solvents, acrylamides, PFOA, perchlorate (rocket fuel) and other toxic chemicals without needing to list them at all. |
| In foods, companies pad the ingredients lists with healthy-sounding berries, herbs or superfoods that are often only present in miniscule amounts. Having "spirulina" appear at the end of the ingredients list is practically meaningless. There's not enough spirulina in the food to have any real effect on your health. This trick is called "label padding" and it's commonly used by junk food manufacturers who want to jump on the health food bandwagon without actually producing healthy foods. |

| Researching medical cures in the literature shows hundreds of references to herbs, supplements, and other forms of alternative healing that are prohibited in this country by the FDA, AMA, USD A, and other government agencies. Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling suggested that all diets should be supplemented with Vitamin C. When many Americans followed this advice, there was a dramatic, corresponding drop in the rate of heart disease. Coincidence? Authorities representing the Establishment discounted the correlation and characterized Pauling as a quack. |

 The system was developed by chemist and company founder Robert De Lanza, who combined keratin protein and "select herbs" in a "unique hydrolization process" that is supposed to create a superb delivery system for the keratin, making it (at least according to L'ANZA) a superior conditioning agent. Is it? First, using keratin in hair-care products is not unique; and second, the herbs used in LANZA's products have no substantiated benefit for hair. Finally, to hydrolyze something simply means to decompose an ingredient by reacting it with water. |

 Other herbs and supplements promoted for BPH include beta-sitosterol, pygeum extract, pumpkin seeds, garlic rye, grass extract, and magnesium. Controlled studies do not exist for these compounds either.
Saw palmetto is a supplement derived from the fruit of Serenoa repens or Sabal serrulatum (the American dwarf palm), which is native to the southeastern U.S. Saw palmetto is marketed for the treatment of BPH. Saw palmetto is often mixed with nettle root in a formulation for the prostate. |

 REPPED: If you've been following the debate over the FDA's new CAM Guidelines (click here for latest update) that threaten to destroy natural medicine by regulating herbs, supplements and even vegetable juices as "unapproved drugs," you've no doubt heard the opposing opinion by some natural health commentators who claim the guidelines say nothing new. Some are even saying the CAM Guidelines are a "non issue" and represent "no big deal."
As much as I appreciate the efforts and comments of others in the natural health world, I strongly disagree with their assessment on the CAM Guidelines. |

 The body only recognizes nutrition from whole, living foods and herbs as complete vitamin sources.
Iron
Closely related to the B vitamins for energy production is iron. A deficiency of this mineral can lead to anemia, with symptoms such as fatigue, short attention span, weight loss, and irritability. Iron is needed in red blood cells to form hemoglobin, whose primary role is to collect oxygen from the lungs and carry it to every cell in the body.
The main sources of iron are red meat, liver, dried fruit, egg yolks, sardines, spinach, broccoli, wheat germ, and brown barley. |
| For persistent or chronic diarrhea, we should be working to improve our diets, supplemented with digestive enzymes and bowel flora products, as well as detoxifying the colon with gentle herbs, enemas, and colonics.
Fever
A fever is the body's natural defense against an invading virus. It is not a symptom of a disease, but is actually part of the body's anti-viral immune system. The body may also raise its temperature to speed a cleansing process.1
When toxins build to a certain level in the body, germs or viruses enter to scavenge on wastes and in so doing, produce toxic wastes of their own. |

OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a general loss of bone density. The major cause of osteoporosis is the gradual loss of protein matrix tissue from the bone. This loss results in weakened bones, which can cause pain in the back and hips, loss of height, increased risk of fractures, and spinal curvature. The underlying mechanism in all cases of osteoporosis is an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. |

HOW OUR ENERCY IS CREATED
Energy is produced within the cells, specifically in the mitochondria, which are the cells' power sources. The main fuels used are glucose, produced in the liver, and oxygen. The end result of the process is energy in the form of high-energy electrons and atp (adenosine triphosphate), atp is the main source of usable energy for cells. The food we eat is processed through many metabolic steps in order to arrive at this ultimate energy form. |

 I took all the right vitamins and herbs in megadoses. I tried many different treatments. You do feel better for a little while, but then you relapse. Sometimes the relapses are quite severe. Finally, it got to the point where I had just enough energy to see people, make a pittance of a living, answer the phone, and do what I had to do to survive. I was turning into a vegetable at what should have been the peak of my life."

| Of these corrective substances, only the NES remedy directly corrects any distotted phase shift relationship affecting the Energetic Integrators; all the others, such as herbs or homeopathic remedies, produce indirect corrections to the body-field.) The adaptation point, then, is crucial to homeostasis, for it either supports or hampers the body from regulating itself. |

The hysteria of modern medicine
In my opinion, any woman taking Lybrel is embarking on a foolish experiment with her own health. It is not merely a dangerous course of action to pursue, it is the ultimate surrender of personal responsibility for one's own health. It also admits to a male-dominated medical system that womanhood is, indeed, some sort of terrible disease that requires treatment. |

| Moving from an unhealthy bowel situation to a healthy one requires detoxification, changes toward a healthy diet, and supplementation with herbs and enzymes if necessary. Enemas may be used as necessary to clear stagnant and impacted feces from the colon. Colonic irrigations are much more effective than enemas. The use of digestive enzymes and acid supplements to aid the digestive process, as well as bowel flora supplements to introduce healthy bacteria back into the intestines, are also recommended. |
| Eventually, the cartel wants to make even home-grown herbs illegal and require all natural supplements to have a Drug Identification Number (din). As drugs, if they are allowed to be sold, they will be much more expensive.
Once approved, the Codex Alimentarius recommendations will form an international code of standards that will force nations adopting them to "harmonize" with its heavily restrictive rules. Further information on Codex may be found at www.friendsoffreedom.org. |
| Aside from the nicotine patch, nicotine gum, and various other drugs and herbs to help one kick the habit, I have heard of one other program that may be of assistance.
Dr. Herbert DeloRey has had a great deal of success helping people quit smoking by using the following technique. It takes considerable time to accomplish depending on the degree to which one smokes. It is simply this: Start with the number of cigarettes you are presently using each day and keep this as the absolute maximum ration for the day; no exceptions! Do this for 21 days. |

PEPPERMINT OIL
Peppermint oil has been shown to be the most useful of the food products used to treat dyspepsia and IBS. By virtue of its active ingredient, menthol, which relaxes the smooth muscle of the intestines by blocking calcium influx, it has antispasmodic properties. At least three randomized placebo-controlled trials have shown that peppermint oil improves symptoms of IBS (while two did not show an effect).7 |
