(brain nutrient) and vitamins B and E.

COLD WATER FISH (halibut, salmon, cod, tuna, swordfish, sardines).or cold water

fish oil (do not confuse with fish liver oil). Rich in essential fatty acids.

Curbs prostaglandin production thus protects against inflammatory and immune

disorders. Provides choline for proper liver function. Promotes healthy function

of: kidneys, endocrine system, digestion. Promotes healthy detox.

YOGURT (with live active culture).source of friendly bacteria for the

intestines. Keeps the intestinal flora in balance. Lactic acid in the yogurt

destroys unfriendly bacteria. The milk sugars provide food for the bacteria that

produce B vitamins.

keep the digestive tract healthy. Accelerates healing when eaten regularly.

APPLE.source of pectin (gel forming fiber) which assists in intestinal

cleansing. Source of ellagic, chlorogenic and caffeic acids (anticancer agents).

Ellagic acid protects against chromosome damage and blocks cancer causing

actions of pollutants (particularly cigarette smoke).

BEET.helps produce natural lecithin in the body and aids in natural liver

functions. Beet sugar is readily converted to energy rather than being stored.

CARROT.has a high betacarotene content, aids in digestion and promotion of

for proper function.

PARSLEY.rich in vitamins A and C. It promotes healthy lining of mouth,

esophagus, stomach, intestines, lungs, nose, bladder (in other words mucosal

linings). The immune system is dependent on Vitamin A for proper function. Also

contains polyacetylene which destroys bensopyrene, a carcinogen.

SPROUTS.of all kinds like radish, sunflower, broccoli, alfalfa, beans (grow your

substances called bensaldehydes which selectively seek out and destroy cancer

cells. Sprouts are rich in chlorophyll, vitamins A, B complex, C, E and K.

CEREAL GRASSES.wheat grass and barley grass. Rich in betacarotene, protein and

nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) which assist cell renewal. Chlorophyll soothes

inflammation, detoxifies, builds blood and activates enzymes.

MICROALGAE.chlorella, bga, spirulina. See cereal grasses.
