1 cup salad shrimp
1 cup cucumbers, preferably Persian or English style, thinly sliced
3 very thin slices red onion, rings separated
V2 teaspoon dried basil
V2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar juice from 1 lemon sea salt, to taste fresh ground black pepper, to taste romaine lettuce, shredded or finely sliced

See book keywords and concepts |  Stick with more conventional salad ingredients, such as lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Ignore most of the prepared salad dressings and instead ask for a simple oil-and-vinegar dressing. Pass on the array of desserts, again, because of their sugar and trans fats.
Some buffets have a chef carving prime rib, ham, or turkey. If he's stingy and gives you only one slice, and you've already bypassed all the sugary and high-carb offerings, insist on a second slice. After all, you're paying for an all-you-can-eat buffet. |

The results of a limited study at Landau University have been reported in newspapers around the world, stating that radiation coming from cell phones may be directly responsible for the disappearance of bee populations around the globe. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The tobacco gene is now used in lettuce and cucumbers and the petunia gene is used in soybeans and carrots. If you have celiac disease, you may need to avoid walnuts because they can have the barley gene in them. Even strawberries are not harmless anymore; they can now have "undisclosed genes" in them, so you will never know what else you are getting when you treat yourself to this delicious fruit. Cheese contains genetically engineered bacterial rennet. Many brands of apple juice contain the silkworm gene, and grapes can contain a virus gene. |
Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  You'll have plenty of leftovers for several lunches, either as slices to be eaten with mayonnaise or mustard or as turkey salad with mayonnaise, cucumbers, and onions. (Again, remember—no bread.) Vegetables with your dinner should consist of mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, or green beans. No broad beans of any sort (lima, navy, Boston, or the like), which are starchy, and again no potatoes, corn, or rice. |
Victoria Boutenko, M.A.
See book keywords and concepts |  I remember how in 1965 my mother was in tears after reading an article in a Russian health magazine that stated that watermelons and cucumbers do not have any nutritional value. They were our family's most favorite foods. Forty years later, I am learning that cucumbers and watermelons are so alkalizing that they neutralize the acidifying effect of eating beef. I am glad that my parents continued to buy watermelons, despite "scientific" recommendations. |

See book keywords and concepts |  I like to have fun with making salads and add things like mixed organic greens with roasted red peppers, hearts of palm, avocados, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, scallions, olives, mushrooms, feta cheese and a variety of other items. Dressing can be as simple as balsamic or red wine vinegar with a little olive oil, along with pepper, oregano and garlic powder. Add broiled and sliced chicken or beef to make the salad a complete meal. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Fill the hummus-spread wrap with any combination of ingredients that appeals to you: chopped cilantro, green onions, shredded carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, thawed frozen corn, beans, rice, cooked broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, or lettuce. Roll it up into a sausage-like shape, cut it in half, put it on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for about ten minutes, until the wrap is crisp. Fabulous!
At dinner, we highly recommend another healthy salad and a variety of fresh vegetables when they are in season. But there are many other options. |

Topical: Tea tree oil is an effective antibacterial agent. Apply 10-15 drops of oil diluted in a Vi oz of water, or apply it in cream form, two or three times a day. Oregano oil can also be used topically for its own strong antibacterial effects. Use the oil directly once or twice a day.

See book keywords and concepts | | Examples: High-fiber nonstarchy vegetables include most fresh salad ingredients, such as dark lettuces (Romaine, bibb), spinach, arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, red bell peppers, and onions. Other high-fiber nonstarchy vegetables include asparagus, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, kale, leeks, and shallots, all of which can be prepared in a variety of ways. Fresh is better than frozen, and both fresh and frozen vegetables are far superior to canned.
