It is generally known that mixing grapefruit
(or its juice) with a statin can cause a dangerous buildup of some prescription
as well as (over the counter) drugs in your body. The juice can also interfere with allergy
medication. The FDA recently warned that
apple and orange juice can reduce the absorption of the antihistamine
fexofenodine (Allegra and generic.)
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) is a progressive
neurological disease that is becoming more prevalent in industrialized
countries. It is characterized by muscle
weakness and neurological symptoms such as headaches, pain or tingling in the
extremities, and visual problems.
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener which is converted by the liver
into formaldehyde (a preservative that is also used for cadavers.) Aspartame has been banned in several
countries because of its toxic effects.
Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, can be converted into formaldehyde
in the body and is found in cigarette smoke, canned fruits and vegetables. “Methanol slowly builds up in canned fruits
and vegetables, says Dr.Woodrow C. Monte, and builds up in the container (as in
canning), the major source of methanol in human diets. When cigarettes are manufactured, tobacco
leaves are fermented, releasing their pectin-bound methanol and trigger MS
relapses. It is more common in colder
climates because of a shorter growing season and creates a greater dependence
on canned foods and Vitamin D (sunshine deficiencies) and use a typical “western”
diet of canned and processed foods.
Dr. Terry Wahls, M.D. had severe MS which
was successfully treated by changing her diet to include: 3 cups of green leafy vegetables, (kale,
spinach and chard), 3 cups of sulphur-rich vegetables (cabbage, broccoli,
cauliflower, radishes, brussels sprouts, turnips, collards, kale, mushrooms,
asparagus, onion, garlic, leeks. 3
brightly colours of fruits and vegetables.
A daily source of omega 3 oils, grass-fed meats and some sea weeds (at
least once a week). Three cups of any of
the above fruits and vegetables is equal to one large dinner plate and then you
will be feeding your mitochondria.
Dr.Wahls severe MS ate her way from her wheel-chair-bound existence to
an active healthy body. It is gardening time again and Farmers Markets are replete
with already started plants. One of my
great-granddaughters has dug small holes in their lawn and planted salad greens
in separate containers. Isaiah 11:06 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the calf and the young lion and
fatling together and a little child shall lead them.” Isaiah 11:06.
