Parsley and Sophisticated Brains

2019-02-14T13:44:03-06:00

Sophisticated Brains Since "higher" consciousness seems to come from the ability to have broader, healthier brain connections, here is one of my favorite spices that boosts BOTH brain connectivity and integration. Parsley and its main flavonoid: apigenin. Apigenin promotes integration and connection between multiple brain cells. And it's found in this herb you can use in salads, cooking and smoothies. By the way parsley’s flavonoid also balances and protects hormone metabolism. (Why I have been recommending a special parsley green drink for years to appropriate patients.) Apigenin boosts strong brains. It strengthens memory, learning and focus. It promotes more sophisticatedly brain [...]

Sugar is Worse For Your Heart Than Salt; what exact two levels suggest serious (heart attack) danger?

2019-02-14T12:39:56-06:00

I used to write for the San Francisco Chronicle, an entire page one day a month. I loved it. One day my editor, Michael Bauer, called me in and said he had two comments; 1) “Your most recent article was fabulous and, 2) You’re fired!” What happened? This was in the early 1980’s. I had just written an in-depth, well-cited study about the upcoming epidemic of diabetes. I wrote how sugar, and even the avalanche of hidden sugar, was putting us at risk of many other health problems including depression, anxiety, cognition and heart health. Sounds right on, yes? Turned out [...]

Wild food for wild folks? Try sautéed dandelions; delicious spring detox for the liver!

2019-02-05T12:25:23-06:00

When I used to live and study with Helen and Scott Nearing—authors of over 50 books like Living the Good Life and Loving and Leaving the Good life, and writers of the preface of my second book, The Foot Book (HarperCollins 1981)—this visionary couple used to encourage eating and living off the land. Soon after living with the Nearings, I got a job teaching health education in the high schools in Vermont, where, by the way, I eventually got fired for being a pagan as I taught yogic breathing for relaxation. But one of the many good things to come out [...]

Every step you take, every food you eat, affects your heart function, and rapidly, especially a Big Mac…

2019-01-04T18:17:16-06:00

Boy, it’s like having a Big Brother following us around and dinging our endothelial function (how well the most intimate lining of our blood and lymph vessels work) whenever we ‘sin’. If we eat junk food, lie around and snub exercise, or cram high saturated fat into our mouths, within several hours the critical function of the lining of our blood and lymph vessels (the critical fluid highways of our body) can be eroded by 50%! This is yet more research showing that a good diet does matter. And that the effect of how we live and eat, good or bad, [...]

What food can you inexpensively purchase at any market, which keeps hormones safe and makes ‘immortal’ cancer cells die?

2019-04-03T09:58:00-05:00

For years many of us have used this food as a small thoughtless garnish on top of other foods, without realizing the pharmaceutical actions and magic that lay within its tasty cells? It’s difficult to believe that the lowly parsley holds such amazing benefits. Parsley is one of the highest food sources of an amazing flavonoid called apigenin. Celery and chamomile are also other common sources of apigenin, but parsley contains the highest amount of this compound. Apigenin is turning out to be an easy to eat and inexpensive protector against cancer. Here’s the back copy. One way that cancer cells [...]
