These include tobacco,
eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes, and white potatoes. Nightshade (family: Solanaceae)
foods have been linked to an increase in arthritis symptoms. In one study, 70% of those
with arthritis reported relief from chronic pain over
a period of seven years after eliminating all nightshade foods. Between 20% and
30% of my patients on this regimen experience moderate to dramatic pain relief.
They typically report less pain overall but especially in their hands, feet,
knees, and ankles.
Blueberries. Blackberries. Raspberries.
Strawberries. Recent studies have confirmed the antioxidant effects of berries
on various health conditions.
Cardiovascular health. Eating berries can
improve platelet function, blood pressure, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL,
or "good") cholesterol levels, according to a Finnish study published
in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Researchers recruited 72 middle-aged subjects
who had an elevated risk of heart disease because of high blood pressure, high
cholesterol levels, or other factors. Half of the subjects were randomly
assigned to eat two servings a day of a combination of whole berries, purées,
and juices that included strawberries and raspberries as well as several kinds
of European berries that share nutritional qualities with American berries:
bilberries (sometimes called European blueberries), lingonberries (similar to
small cranberries), black currants, and chokeberries. The other group consumed
control products: sugar water, porridge, and marmalade.
After eight weeks, researchers found that
among the berry eaters, beneficial HDL cholesterol increased by 5%, blood
platelet function was inhibited by 11% (reducing the risk of blood clots), and
systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure measurement) went
down an average of 1.5 mm Hg, while the controls experienced little change in
these measures -- suggesting that berry consumption can have a positive effect
on cardiovascular risk factors. The researchers hypothesized that the
polyphenol content of the berries was responsible for these benefits.
Cancer risk. Preliminary studies also demonstrate that
the phytochemicals in berries may prevent precancerous gastrointestinal
conditions from progressing to cancer. Research at the Ohio State University
Comprehensive Cancer Center has found that consuming black raspberries (darker
versions of the more typical, red raspberries) may protect against esophageal cancer
in people with the precursor condition, Barrett's esophagus. Research is
currently under way to determine whether black raspberries can also prevent
colon polyps from developing into colon cancer.
Black raspberries have high concentrations of
anthocyanins and other antioxidants that are believed to have cancer-fighting
properties. However, the effects of anthocyanins are limited to the
gastrointestinal tract, which comes into direct contact with these substances;
anthocyanins are not well absorbed into the bloodstream, so they are not
considered effective for cancers that are unrelated to the digestive system.

I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
About two years ago, when I turned 56, I started suffering foggy and had occasional memory failures. My wife started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory problem worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
My wife went online to do some research, and it was during this period we had been fortunate enough to come across Nze Njoku: an African traditional herbalist whose professional works had majored in the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional herbal medicine. It was by the intervention of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, our encounter with Nze Njoku was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of our encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which Nze Njoku successfully treated dementia conditions, which is traditional herbs.
It was after the completion of his herbal medicine I started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision-making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within four weeks.
Had it not been for the support of my wife, who had encouraged me to undergo Natural Herbal Treatment I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result in a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like Nze Njoku with whose professional services I was able to attain a divine recovery.
