Antiparasite Dietary and Herbal Support
If you suspect a parasitic infection, you should eliminate all uncooked foods from your diet and cook all meats until well-done. Also, soak all vegetables— both organic and inorganic—in salted water (1 tablespoon per 5 cups) for a minimum of 30 minutes before cooking. It is also advisable to eliminate coffee, all sugars including fruits and honey, and all milk and dairy products with the possible exception of raw goat's milk. |

Chapter 5: The Five Biggest Myths About Low-Carb Diets
There are a lot of common beliefs about the dangers of high-protein or high-fat diets. Does a high-protein diet cause osteoporosis? How about damage to the kidneys? Is ketosis a dangerous condition that should be avoided at all costs? Doesn't eating all that fat lead to heart disease? What about cholesterol? |

CLIENT RESULTS
You have read the theory, formulated out of thirty-five years of clinical experience. It is time to present the clinical data from the first eleven people on whom we have formally collected data. It is the author's intent to make a study that is significantly larger than this "pilot study" in the future.
It might have made sense to write this book five years from now with the results of at least 100 people. |

| The number of commonly used substances (including medications and even some herbs) that can harm the liver is enormous, and includes Tylenol, some cholesterol-lowering medications, some estrogens used in hormone replacement therapy and birth control pills, alcohol, and a host of other stuff.
Getting the liver in tip-top shape is one goal of the Fat Flush Plan, and that's something that virtually no other diet program addresses. |

 Quercetin is an antioxidant flavonoid that is found in many fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The anti-inflammatory effect of quercetin helps stabilize mast cells. These are the cells in your eyes, nose, and lungs (and other places in your body) that are highly sensitive to allergens.
Think of mast cells as floating mines. When they come into contact with allergens like ragweed pollen or dust mite poop, a switch gets thrown on these cellular "mines" and all hell breaks loose. |
| Each of us is a complex biological system that responds differently to drugs, herbs, dietary supplements, and home remedies. The best we can do is to pay careful attention to how our body responds to whatever treatments we try.
You Are What You Eat
No one really understands why some people develop osteoarthritis at a relatively early age while others seem fairly immune to aches and pains well into their eighties. We used to think this kind of arthritis was due to wear and tear. If you accumulated enough birthdays, the theory went, you were bound to damage joints. But that's not always true. |
| I recalled what I'd put into the soup, and zeroed in on two herbs from my garden—three fresh sage leaves and some dried thyme. On the Internet I found that sage can calm a cough and thyme has been widely used as cough medicine.
I made him 2 cups of thyme tea before he went to bed the next evening and he slept the whole night through. I think our experience shows that thyme is a good remedy to keep around until the doctor calls back.
Chicken soup with thyme is one way to get the essence of thyme. Another is to make a cup of thyme tea. |
| Herbs and seaweed are not recommended. Take note. Armour is not vegetarian.
Most endocrinologists shudder and twitch at the idea of using something so crude and old-fashioned. But there are patients who feel much better on Armour than on synthetic levothyroxine.
Side effects: Chest pain, increased pulse rate, palpitations, excessive sweating, diarrhea, heat intolerance, tremor, and anxiety. These are symptoms of excess thyroid hormone, suggesting that the dose may be too high. Contact the prescribing doctor promptly.
Downside: Derived from pork thyroid. |
| Several herbs are included to help potentiate and balance the main ingredient or ingredients. An objective analysis of available research evidence by the Cochrane Library found that several of these have been reported to lower blood sugar in controlled trials, but that the quality of the studies is fairly questionable overall.243 The reviewers suggest that herbal medicines such as holy basil or Bushen Jiang-tang Tang merit further study. We can't disagree. |

| For example, many natural compounds in herbs and foods appear to impact body control mechanisms to aid in the normalization of many of the body's processes. When there is an elevation in a certain body function, the herb or food will have a lowering effect, and when there is a decrease in a certain body function, it will have a heightening effect. Grapefruit appears to have this effect on hematocrit levels. |
| Add some spices and herbs of your choice and cover with a second lettuce layer. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover the pan, and cook the peas for 15 to 20 minutes over heat.
QUICK SERVING IDEAS
• Peas enhance green salads.
• Blanch snap peas, saute them with garlic and shiitake mushrooms, and serve them over brown rice.
• Combine drained peas, chopped apple, and onion in a bowl. Separately combine sour cream or soft tofu, horseradish, and salt and pepper to taste. Add to the salad, mix lightly, and top with freshly squeezed lemon juice. |
| Puree tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and scallions together in a food processor and season with herbs and spices of your choice to make the refreshing cold soup gazpacho.
• Add tomato slices to sandwiches and salads.
SAFETY
Tomatoes are one of the foods most commonly associated with allergic reactions.
Tomatoes are one of the vegetables in the nightshade (Solanaceae) family, which includes eggplant, peppers, and potatoes. Anecdotal case histories link improvement in arthritic symptoms with removal of these foods. |
| Add to this your favorite herbs and spices.
• Mix cold cereal or granola and fresh blueberries with yogurt for a twist on the traditional cereal-and-milk breakfast.
• Try using regular or soy yogurt instead of milk for your breakfast smoothie.
SAFETY
The same issues of safety that apply to milk apply to yogurt, although to a lesser extent due to yogurt's ability to lessen allergic reactions to milk and improve lactose tolerance.
To avoid products from cows treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), buy organic dairy products. |
| Thyme mixes nicely with many foods and other herbs. The combination of thyme, garlic, basil, and oregano can be put to good use in marinara tomato sauces for pasta and pizza. Given its versatility, thyme also adds a tasty dimension to most vegetables, beans, grains, soups, casseroles, and other dishes.
QUICK SERVING IDEAS
• Hearty legumes, such as kidney beans, pinto beans, and black beans, taste exceptionally good when seasoned with thyme. |

 Echinacea may be the best-known immunity-enhancing herb, but it is not the only one. In China, astragalus is traditionally used to promote vitality and healing.
Licorice is another great immunity enhancer. This herb is right out there on the front lines, strengthening the very first defense put up by an immune system under siege. A tincture of licorice root is effective against Candida and several types of bacteria, including the notorious staph infection. According to laboratory studies done in the 1970s and 1980s, a compound in licorice increases interferon production. |
