Oz in the Kitchen: Healthy Foods that Prevent Cancer and Bring Balance
Guys putting onions and bread in the refrigerator?!? Hey, there, boys…we keep the onions in the root cellar and we keep the bread in the breadbox – not in the frig!
Better yet…
Get your bread from an artisan who bakes it daily and eat it fresh, turning day old bread into bread pudding, breadcrumbs, or filler for meatloaf. Don’t eat that pre-sliced bread! It is often loaded with synthetic chemicals and preservatives by the manufacturer. You can find freshly-baked loaves locally that are organic and natural and healthy for you. I don’t eat bread anymore, but so many people use bread for toast, sandwiches, and dishes like french toast or crumb coating. If this is YOU, then do your body a favor and consume only organic breads baked the same day you eat it. Molds can compromise your immune system and congestion of the lungs can occur when you eat bread too frequently. Go whole grain instead!
Please, please, please…help Dr. Oz get an expert on Food Combining on his TV show! Eat your fruits alone and do not combine them with whole grains or bread or vegetables. This is basic science…digestive enzymes and which do what and how these biochemical processes are turned off and on with specific types of foods in the mouth and the stomach. The art and science of Food Combining is too vast to address here, but it is an essential part of your dietary planning for becoming healthy. Don’t ignore this and don’t make ridiculous mistakes like having orange juice with toast and cereal with milk for breakfast! Let’s take this knowledge to the next level in the public’s awareness…
Whole grains don’t belong in the frig either. We keep them in glass containers on the counter or in our Food Storage area that is free from moisture and bright light. We don’t want whole grains to be rancid.
Onions and root vegetables belong in your root cellar or your food pantry. Keep them properly for your healthy kitchen environment! Better yet…grow your garden and eat from it. Get a share of your local CSAs and support Sustainable Agriculture in your area!
Look at Dr. Oz and Mr. Yale fill up that plate with greens, veggies, fish, and whole grains. But what…WHAT was that? Pouring olive oil over the veggies – no, no, no! We prepare a healthy salad dressing with oils and herbs and spices and then drizzle over veggies or blend in a glass bowl before placing the food on your plate. These fellows need a cooking lesson…or two! It’s good and healthy to laugh at the antics of these guys who don’t prepare much food in their kitchens yet. That will be the miracle that comes from their educational process beyond university and medical school. The true health education happens in the kitchen and in the dining room after spending time in the garden!
That GREEN drink that solved the ovarian cancer issue was very good and wholesome! Juicing organic vegetables and fruits daily is going to get you healthy and maintain your well-being. This is one of the most important keys to Wellness and freedom from degenerative diseases, including cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. The more often you can use fresh organic herbs and spices to season your food, the better it is for you and your family. The food will taste great and your body will benefit immensely. Green drinks and chicken soup…basics for true Wellness and Optimal Health for one and all.

It’s understandable that Dr. Oz would try to reduce Whole Foods down into phyto-chemicals and chemical constituents to explain the reasons for the health quotient of whole foods. It is the fact that they ARE ‘Whole Foods’ that will keep you healthy and the fact that these whole foods are comprised of chemicals indicates that your body will recognize the food and utilize it by absorption and assimilation.
By the way, put that apple cider vinegar in your ingredient list for salad dressings and in your cooking of recipes calling for vinegar. Peppermint tea is probably more effective for settling your stomach than vinegar, but the vinegar will kill those bacteria dwelling in your stomach, so don’t discount it altogether!
Just because research has not yet been done for the herbs and their benefit for PMS, bloating, and cramping doesn’t rule out it’s effectiveness for balancing the body which diminishes these symptoms associated with deficiencies or excess conditions in the reproductive system, the blood, and the other systems of the body. Balance is the key and herbs, spices, and whole foods will indeed bring the restoration to balance once you learn about the bio-energetic natures of these foods and spices. Learn and become well-informed…
Science is still young and our home remedies have come from centuries of common experience by those who have been caring for those they love for much longer than research studies have existed… It stands to reason that eventually the two worlds will collide and learn to get along and play nicely with one another. It’s about time!
