 The classic Chinese medical text Shoushi Baoyuan (Achieving Longevity by Guarding the Source 1616 CE) says that tonics should be taken in the morning and are best taken on an empty stomach (before meals). It is considered most appropriate to wait one-half hour before taking any food.
General guidelines for taking herbs include:
1. Take herbs before meals except when they cause irritation or nausea.
2. Take herbs that might irritate the stomach or intestine with or after meals.
3. Take digestive herbs before meals.
4. Use stimulants in the morning, sedatives at night.

 Better to have only one or two meals per week that fall off the wagon. When my patients say they are doing the diet 80 percent of the time, this can mean different things to different people. Essentially, though, 80 percent means that eight of ten meals are on the plan. You should bank extra vegetables and fruits and protein; that way even if you abandon the food plan 20 percent of the time by eating grain, cheese, and salt, it won't be hard to bring yourself back to acid-base balance. But remember those bacteria in your gut—they may not respond as quickly to these swings in your diet. |
| Make enough boneless, skinless chicken, pork tenderloin, or seafood for two people, two meals a day—or about ten meals. That's usually enough for a busy working couple. Steam or saute about three days' worth of vegetables. Also, make available (at home and work) large cases of fresh fruit.
For dinner you can have lean meats, and Universal Marinade (see the recipes) can double as a salad dressing and a seasoning for vegetables. See www.eatwild.com for farms that produce organic produce and grass-fed animal meat. |

 So you start to look at all the causes of inflammation which are caused by an excess of free radicals caused by diabetes, hypertension, cigarette smoking, fatty meals, high-sugar meals, high-glycemic meals -- these will cause your arteries to go into spasm because of the inflammation four to six hours after a meal. You start to look at homocysteine, and LDL cholesterol is a factor that's oxidized. You put them all together, and almost all of those causes of inflammation can either be significantly reduced or eliminated by the healthy lifestyles that I have recommended on my web pages. |

 Pusztai and Bardocz Regarding Roundup Ready soybeans: "The raw unprocessed soybean diets in which the GM meals were incorporated were only at the level of 5% or 10% of the diet.73 Thus, these meals only replaced 8.5% and 17%, respectively, of the total protein of 24.7 g/100 g diet. In other words, the GM protein was diluted by other dietary proteins by twelvefold and sixfold, respectively, producing another possible masking effect."74

 This doesn't mean you should starve yourself, fast on weekends, or cut entire meals out of your diet, but it does offer justification for not eating past the point of satiation, and cutting back on your intake of saturated fats. Eating smaller portions and doing a small bit of snacking between meals may maintain glucose levels in your body that will help keep your mind sharp, and help you avoid binge eating of unhealthy foods at mealtime. |

 There is an absolute correlation between high sugar consumption and high alcohol intake outside meals. Both sugared drinks and alcohol outside meals give a "lift" to the blood sugar which humans on a balanced diet (including wine with meals) do not require.
What the presence of sugar, and the parallel absence of roughage, in the diet is doing to affluent Westerners has been discovered in the past generation; the effects include at least one form of cancer due to a low-fiber diet. |

 The dose is usually 1 g taken three times (after three meals), but, in some cases, it may have to be as high as 3 g taken three times daily.
Niacin usually causes a flush a few minutes after it is taken. Some people will flush given a 25-mg dose, more with 50, and most with 100 mg. If niacin is taken regularly, the flush is repeated, but to a much lesser degree. In most cases, after a week or so, it is greatly reduced and has become a minor nuisance at worst. The intensity of the flush can be minimized by taking the pills regularly after meals, three times daily. |

 Five smaller meals or three meals and two snacks help control hunger throughout the day. myth: Because bananas contain potassium, you should eat them if you have heart problems. reality: A ripe banana's starch instantly converts to sugar in your bloodstream, making it the ultimate heart-unhealthy fruit.

 The oxygen you breathe, the fat and iron/copper content of your meals, the frequency and calorie content of meals, and your age, to a large extent determine the amount of "rusting" going on in your body. Exercise, infection and exposure to radiation (solar, x-rays) also increase oxidation.

Many people try drinking milk to ease heartburn before sleep, but milk may end up causing more heartburn distress. Drinking milk and eating a big meal at dinner can be a recipe for disaster. It's a myth that milk can "coat" the stomach or help heartburn. On the contrary, it can aggravate the heck out of it. And the higher the fat content in the milk, the worse it can be.
Here's one thing you can have: water, pure and clean (I know it's not the most exciting thing in the world, but it works). |

Add Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Then there's CLA (which stands for conjugated linoleic acid). Whenever I'm asked to comment about trans fats and I go into the whole speech about "the right amount of trans fats in the human diet is zero," I always have to remind myself to add this caveat: I'm talking about man-made trans fats (e.g., partially hydrogenated oils). |

 People up and down the street all ate the same sorts of meals on a reassuringly regular rhythm (pasta on Tuesdays, fish on Fridays, etc.), and standoffishness or one-upmanship among neighbors was explicitly frowned upon. "The local priest emphasized that when preoccupation with earning money exceeded the unmarked boundary, it became the basis for social rejection." For this reason, "despite the affluence of many, there was no atmosphere of 'keeping up with the Joneses' in Roseto."10 All these factors together, Wolf and Bruhn concluded, were the secret to the town's heart-healthiness. |

This Just In
Just as this manuscript was being completed and sent in to my editor, I received an email that my good friend, the great integrative medicine guru Leo Galland, M.D., was appearing on the Today show. Galland went on national television to speak about virtually everything we've discussed in this section—why you need stomach acid to be at the top of the list, and why acid-lowering drugs are a really bad idea. |

 Eat your meals at about the same times every day so that the digestive system can always perform at its best. Eating at different times each day makes it difficult for the body to produce the right amount of digestive juices required for each meal.
þ Eat according to your hunger level. If you are not hungry, don't eat. Wait until your natural appetite (digestive power) has returned. Note: Food cravings have nothing to do with hunger and should be treated like an addiction. (See Chapter 7, "Employing Nature's Healing Powers.")
þ Drink about 6-8 glasses of water each day. |
| Mary still associates the eating of her meals with the tension she experienced while sitting at the parental dinner table. Her unconscious attempt to avoid everything that has to do with food and eating, programs her body to do the same. The body cannot properly digest and absorb foods that are eaten in a hurry, hence the accumulation of large quantities of toxic waste in her small and large intestines. |
| The research found increased rates of cancer cell formation in the blood of people eating microwave-cooked meals. The Russians also reported increased rates of stomach and intestinal cancers, as well as digestive and excretive disorders, plus a higher percentage of cell tumors, including sarcoma.
Microwaves rip apart the molecular bonds that make food to be "food." Microwave ovens hurl high-frequency microwaves that boil the moisture within food and its packaging by whipsawing water molecules dizzyingly back-and-forth at more than a billion reversals per second. |
| The preventative measures include eating less protein, regular exercise, early bedtimes, regular mealtimes and balanced meals, drinking enough water, avoiding junk foods, giving up smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, removing stress sources, etc.
