Warning: Many Health Links at the End!!!   lol    Our Greens are accused of Being Useless in Disease Prevention or Treatment!     This is your Plant Advocate speaking and today I am going to defend my client, Mr. Green aka our natural and generally-friendly untainted vegetables/herbs of a neighbour.  lol

Those behind conventional medicine had always said that neither Nutrition Therapy (food) nor your mental health has anything to do with your physical health.  However, the most recent research has yet again proved people in grief (bereavement) has 300% more likelihood of getting Cancer, tying emotional and mental health closely with how well the human body fights Cancer.

In fact, some medical quack watch web sites are dismissing certain natural healthy foods as “useless cancer treatments or cures” or as an “amazing quackery”.

Many of our modern diet consists of fast food, microwaveable, frozen and processed foods. Because most of the vegetables we eat today are brought from distant places, a lot of the nutrients are lost via transit, etc. Our natural foods may be sprayed with pesticides; overcooking causes a loss of vitamins and we are also breathing in more toxic air (due to toxic waste by irresponsible or uncontrolled “industrial waste” be it chemical or blood from abattoirs).

In many circumstances, the normal dose of vitamin and supplements do not work anymore – you may need double the dose, especially during the healing stage of a disorder or after childbirth.

Natural herbal greens and grains help the body in healing and rebuilding itself.  It also aids the pH alkaline balance by providing the necessary enzymes from greens – a very necessary process that keeps cells from mutating to cancerous cells.  These enzymes are all known to help:

• cleanse the blood
• provide an energy boost
• stimulate the immune system
• nourish the cells and
• is beneficial to the membranes surrounding the brain.

Many herbs and vegetables naturally contain nutrients like sulfur compounds and glucosinolates (anti-cancer) - both stimulate the production of detoxification enzymes.  These enzymes help to remove toxic wastes – an action that herbs and greens are good at doing.

Sulphur compounds help to detoxify the body (remove harmful metals and mercury, and especially mercury found in vaccines).

For example, onions are rich in sulphur compounds and is common in many delicious dishes; cabbage is rich in glucosinolates.  

Some herbal greens are rich in chlorophyll, which is naturally found in kelp, spirulina, wheat grass, alfalfa and green tea.

According to many studies, chlorophyll from natural plants have known to  increase the good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, which helps to treat ulcers and Crohn’s disease.  Chlorophyll is also used to treat fibromyalgia, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, constipation and can reverse health disorders such as intestinal ulcers, bleeding gums, liver disorders, anemia, infections, eczema, hair loss, obesity and many other ailments. Chlorella has been used to treat cancer and also help protect the body from the effects of cancer radiation treatment.

Most homepaths agree that since chlorophyll/clorella has high content of vitamin K, it’s not everyone nor for  those who are prone to allergies.  (Please consult your nutritionist or homepathic dcctor before starting any diet.)

Chlorophyll’s other names: Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella pyrenoidosa.

Many herbs and vegetables also contain carotenoids (an antioxidant), selenium (anti-cancer) and phenols which help neutralize free radicals and inhibit the formation of cancerous cells. (Free radicals damage or mutate cells making them abnormal or cancerous.  All antioxidants protect the body from some form of damage from free radicals.)

Are you eating enough green leafy vegetables? According to CDC’s 2007 health survey, the percentage of people eating ENOUGH vegetables: Mississippi – 8.8%; Washington – 20% (highest).  Is it any surprise since many of us (in Asia as well) are bombarded with fast food TV ads?

Sadly, vegetables are the most under-promoted “commodity” because they don’t make as much as lucrative prescription medicines.  On the flip side, I hope this blog entry made you smile…kinda!
