Texas Reports on Biology and Medicine, claimed that he cured his crippling gout that confined him to a wheelchair by eating six to eight cherries each day. As long as he ate cherries, he avowed, the gout stayed away. He had no scientific explanation for his discovery, but he noted that at least twelve others who ate cherries or drank cherry juice also cured their gout. Prevention magazine printed his advice and since then, dozens of people suffering gout have written to say red or black cherries—fifteen to twenty-five a day at first and ten a day after that—work for them too.

Important: Have at least one serving of blueberries, cherries or pomegranates daily. These contain anthocyanins, which are among the most potent anti-inflammatory agents. •Choose crucifers and alliums. Crucifers are strong-flavored vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale. Alliums include onions and garlic. Both classes of vegetables reduce chronic inflammation and lower the risk of cancer, particularly breast cancer. Eat at least one serving of each daily. •Use only egg whites or unbroken egg yolks.

Foods that are especially vulnerable to pesticide residue include strawberries, nectarines, peaches, apples, pears and cherries, Lu says. Bananas and oranges are not as vulnerable because you do not eat the part of the fruit that has been exposed to pesticides, he adds. Beware of Contaminated Fruits and Vegetables Fruits and vegetables contaminated with bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli now cause more illness than raw chicken or eggs. The contamination comes from the use of manure as a fertilizer or from cross-contamination in home and restaurant kitchens.

Stage 1: Eat as much as you want of arugula, bell peppers, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, leeks, onions, romaine lettuce, scallions, shiitake mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes—as well as blueberries, cherries, grapefruit and pomegranates. Eating three 4-ounce servings of high-protein foods every day helps suppress appetite and maintain muscle mass. Choose fish, egg whites, poultry and plain, fat-free yogurt. Meat lovers can eat red meat twice a week but should marinate beef using cherry or pomegranate concentrate (this reduces the inflammatory chemical compounds that are produced during cooking).

Consume an assortment of vegetables and fruits, especially green, leafy vegetables and antioxidant sources, such as carrots, broccoli, blueberries and cherries. Include cold-water fish, such as salmon, mackerel and halibut, at least three times a week.

If you have rheumatoid arthritis: Eliminate these foods from your diet for four to six weeks. Then reintroduce them one at a time to see if they worsen symptoms.

If elected, Ron Paul would work to restore genuine health freedom in this country, giving consumers access to accurate, scientifically-validated information about how cherries can ease arthritis inflammation, for example, or how pomegranates can prevent prostate cancer, or how broccoli sprouts can prevent breast cancer.

A century ago, the typical Iowa farm raised more than a dozen different plant and animal species: cattle, chickens, corn, hogs, apples, hay, oats, potatoes, cherries, wheat, plums, grapes, and pears. Now it raises only two: corn and soybeans. This simplification of the agricultural landscape leads directly to the simplification of the diet, which is now to a remarkable extent dominated by—big surprise—corn and soybeans.

Even then, you should limit the quantities of these fruits.

Cranberries, blueberries, cherries, and blackberries are jam-packed with antioxidants called anthocyanins and polyphenols, which also have anti-inflammatory qualities. Leafy greens such as kale and spinach contain lutein, another superantioxidant. Cocoa carries flavonoids, particularly potent antioxidants that can zap free radicals and protect against inflammation. (The best way to consume cocoa is to add plain cocoa powder—preferably non-Dutched cocoa; Dutched cocoa is treated with an alkali during processing—into chili or other Southwestern recipes, thus avoiding the sugar in chocolate bars.

These compounds, found in the antho-cyanins that give cherries their red color, have even more antioxidant activity than heavyweights, like vitamin C or vitamin E supplements. Anthocyanins also squash inflammation, which can contribute to atherosclerosis. They work by stopping the enzymes that make prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that cause inflammation and pain. A Michigan State University study found that 20 tart cherries were at least as effective as other painkilling remedies, including aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

While most of the results were obtained with black cherries, sweet yellow and red sour cherries were also effective.4 We have been impressed by the effectiveness of cherry juice as a treatment for acute gout.

So large berries like cherries, strawberries and grapes are not nearly as medicinally potent as tiny berries like cranberries, black raspberries, red raspberries, acai and red currants. The more vibrant the color of the berry, the more medicine it contains. Strong or bright colors indicate higher density of natural medicine. To get the most benefits, eat a large diversity of berries on a regular basis. Don't just stick to eating or drinking one type of berry. Instead, seek out a wide variety of berries and other superfruits. #9: Can juice products cure my cancer? Probably not by themselves.

It's believed that the anthocyanins in the cherries cause the decrease in uric acid and the relief from the pain of gout. Anthocyanins act like natural COX-2 inhibitors. COX stands for cyclooxygenase, which is produced in the body in two major O O ? n c 73 m t/> flavors, COX-1 and COX-2. It's the latter that is responsible for signaling pain and inflammation. Aspirin tends to block both, but COX-1 has some valuable uses.

In one study, the COX inhibitory activity of anthocyanins from cherries was comparable to those of ibuprofen and naproxen. And researchers feel that in addition to helping with pain and inflammation, anthocyanins may help lower heart attack and stroke risk if consumed on a regular basis. As a bonus, these same anthocyanins may significantly reduce your risk for colon cancer, the third leading cancer in the United States. But That's Not All, Folks!
