Miracle Cure Foods

Of all the fatal diseases that plague mankind, we have been able to at least find preventive methods for a large number. However, some still remain `un-cracked mysteries’. Research worth millions of dollars and hundreds of thousand of man-hours is being carried out across the globe for years now, but the riddle has still not been completely solved. Most such diseases do not seem to have a complete cure and any amount of medication can at best delay the inevitable. So what can be the solution? One thing that all experts agree on is that we can prevent most fatal diseases by carefully monitoring our lifestyle.

Cancer, for instance, is not an external disease, it occurs when than intrinsic part of your won system decides to malfunction; hence, internal cures and prevention should be a part of our lifestyle. Heart diseases can be large prevented by a regulated lifestyle too. Diet and lifestyle is our only defense from such a situation.

There are examples of affliction free societies, and their lifestyle seems to be the secret of this blessing. The tribes of Navajo Indians, the Hunzas and the Abkhasians, for instance, have never known what it is to face death because one of the cells of one’s body has decided to break free, has chartered its own course and has started a mini revolution inside the host human body. They have never known what it is to writhe in debilitating pain or asphyxiate to death because the lungs have been choked up with a pulmonary carcinoma. The secret? Their diet.

Yes, these tribes seem to have the solution of a very painful problem in their apparently uncivilized lifestyle. These people eat the fruit kernels. The solution has been too simple, staring at us under our civilized, intelligent noses, yet we refuse to acknowledge it. There have been murmurs of dissent, some researchers have even tried to disprove this fact but it stays.

The fact is that the apricot kernel has an abundance of vitamin B 17, and so have the seeds of apple, peach, cherry, orange, nectarine and apricot. It is also found in some varieties of beans and many grasses, such as wheat grass, that forms a part of the diet of these societies.

So the next time you throw away the pit of an apricot or the apple pips, think twice, you are throwing away a good chance of a cancer cure!!! The seeds of apples, apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines, carry nitriloside in concentrations as high as 2-3%, and its most common derivative, amygdalin occurs in the kernels of seeds of practically all fruits, often in the extraordinary concentration of 2 to 3 per cent.

The interesting fact is that if we look closely, most precious natural products come with excellent protective casings. It is nature’s way of gifting us foods with ability to fight disease. But we have educated ourselves to disregard nature and make our own `natural’ laws. So we, with our superior intellectual abilities, eat only the fleshy cushioning, serving to protect the sold nutrition inside the seed, and discard the seed itself. It is the seed that we were intended to eat, not the cushioning. In the bargain, over centuries of misinformed choices, we do not know what we should actually be eating, the actual nutrition and survival aids that nature provided to us have all but been erased from our consciousness, and the coating of civilization has steadily covered our basic natural defenses. So we are left defenseless, against the vagaries of malfunctioning but the body.

More miracle foods are the humble onion and garlic, containing allyl sulfides - chemicals which help limit the production of cancer causing chemicals. Tomatoes contain a good amount of "lycopene" an antioxidant, that not only retards ageing but also helps stop free radical chain reactions, thus limiting the production of cancerous cells in the body.

Fear of breast cancer haunts almost every woman today, irrespective of the age group she belongs to. Most of them are not aware that miso, tamari and shoyu (Soy products) contain chemicals called "isoflavones" which act as weak estrogens and leave less room for strong ones. Estrogen promotes fast growth of breast cells in women, defeating the growth of cancer cells. It may have other uses as well !!!!.

Green tea is another such elixir. It has copious quantities of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols that quench free radicals that may be responsible for cancerous growths or spread of cancer in the human body. Some other occurrences of antioxidants that can actually reverse disease symptoms are found in red grapes, as "reservatol" and in Turmeric as "curcumin". These chemicals inhibit blood flow to tumors by cutting off the growth of blood vessels to these cancerous growths. Green vegetables and leafy delights like Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage have "sulforaphane", which boost production
