THE FOOD DOCTOR- Discover a New Revolution in Functional Foods

Dr. Victor Marchione, M.D. is a leading champion of a new form of medicine.

He’s using scientifically proven foods to heal disease in brilliant new ways.

Dear Friend,

As a board-certified medical doctor, I can offer my patients the latest drugs and

surgical techniques.

But some of the most promising medical breakthroughs I’m prescribing today are

FOODS. I call them “functional foods.”

That’s because you can use them in targeted ways to heal specific health problems.

Medical researchers have discovered literally thousands of healing nutrients in foods.

Clinical research studies at leading universities have documented the healing results.

And I see it for myself in my daily work with patients

Case Histories of Remarkable Healing
Using Nature’s Miracle Medicine: FOOD!

As you’ll see in this special report, functional foods go far beyond just providing basic

nutrition. They perform specific medicinal effects in your body.

In these pages, you’ll get an inside look at biologically active components in functional foods.

You’ll see how the functional foods I prescribe in my medical practice could help you

relieve pain, reduce blood pressure, and lower cholesterol. And these foods also

ake you feel more happy, relaxed and energized.

Nature’s Miracle Healers Now Proven
by Modern Science

Foods can heal you in ways drugs never can. Why? Because our bodies evolved

over millions of years to thrive on foods. Foods are nature’s way to repair, restore

and rejuvenate. They heal your body without dangerous side effects.

There’s a saying in natural medicine: “For every disease known to man, there’s a

country where it virtually doesn’t exist.” The Japanese have lower rates of heart

disease. East Indians rarely get Alzheimer’s. What makes the difference? Diet.

In my 24 years as a medical doctor, one truth keeps sounding loud as a bell in

my daily work with patients. In a nutshell, this is:

Food is the cause of the vast majority of
our health problems, and food is also the solution.

Americans are overfed and undernourished. According to the U.S. Surgeon General,

“Two thirds of all deaths are directly affected by improper diet.”

The top killers—such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, even arthritis,

asthma, and allergies—are all linked to our diets. And these could all be reversed and

prevented by eating the right foods.

I believe the root cause of many chronic diseases may actually be deficiencies in

nutrients—many of which science hasn’t even discovered yet. And I can tell you

that if you’re eating the standard American diet, it’s very likely that you have critical

deficiencies in phytonutrients—the miracle healers found in plants!

Yes, drugs can relieve the symptoms of disease, but drugs rarely cure the underlying

condition the way foods can. That’s why I’m so excited by the breakthroughs in

phytonutrients and functional foods. For example, new research shows that foods

can actually help you…

Miracle Phytonutrient #1:

Nutrient in Blueberries Lowers Cholesterol Like

Prescription Drugs!

Pterostilbene is a remarkable phytonutrient that is making big news.

It’s a powerful antioxidant found in blueberries. Scientists are buzzing about its

amazing cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering ability.

Results from Research StudyResearchers tried to see if pterostilbene could lower cholesterol. They tested it

against ciprofibrate, a cholesterol-lowering drug. The study explored how each

ingredient helped cells metabolize cholesterol.

The results showed that Pterostilbene was just as effective as prescription drugs

in reducing cholesterol!

Need to reduce your cholesterol? Just enjoy some blueberries. How’s that for a

delicious bonus from your dessert?

 

Miracle Phytonutrient #2:
Cut Your Arthritis Risk IN HALF

Certain types of fruits and vegetables are rich in a powerful, yet little-known nutrient called beta-cryptoxanthin.

This phytonutrient was shown in a medical study of 25,000 people to cut the risk of

inflammatory arthritis in half.

A large health study following the diets of Americans between ages 45 and 74 found

that those who ate produce high in beta-cryptoxanthin had a 50% lower risk of arthritis.

Imagine—you might not need drugs for joint pain because you won’t have the pain in

the first place!

 

Miracle Phytonutrient #3:
Switch on Genes That Fight Cancer

Flavonoids are remarkable natural compounds that have a wide range of healing

effects on your body. In the test tube, flavonoids have up to five times the antioxidant

power of vitamin C. They hunt down and absorb free radicals before they cause aging

and disease.

But in the body, scientists have found flavonoids have even more unique properties.

According to breakthrough research by the Linus Pauling Institute in Oregon, flavonoids

can actually change the way genes are expressed in the body.

They cause the body to “switch on” in ways that can fight or prevent cancer. Flavonoids

force the body into making enzymes that destroy the substances that cause mutations

and tumors.

The scientists also say they may trigger certain “mechanisms” in the body that kill cancer

cells and stop tumors from growing. But did you know that foods contain...

 

Miracle Phytonutrient #4
Aggressive Cancer HALTED

One type of phytonutrient found in vegetables has been documented to reduce cancer

44% in a study by Harvard University. These amazingly powerful nutrients are called

glucosinolates.

It turns out that the real cancer-fighting agent is created when the vegetables are

chewed and digested. Then the glucosinolates turn into a far more potent cancer

fighter called isothiocyanates. In the study, isothiocyanates stopped even the most

aggressive form of bladder cancer.

So you see, foods can have quite different reactions in the body. Just isolating and

extracting the nutrients in foods doesn’t always work. This is further evidence why

functional foods should be your first choice for healing. A supplement might only

contain glucosinolates ,which may not digest into the cancer-fighting forms

without the other components in the real food.

Miracle Phytonutrient #5:
Lower Blood Pressue in
Two Weeks — with Candy!

A 2005 medical study found that chocolate can significantly reduce blood

pressure in just two weeks.

Italian researchers gave healthy people various types of chocolate. They

discovered one type had a greater ability to reduce blood sugar and lower

blood pressure.

This type of chocolate contains a full range of beneficial phytonutrients. These

include antioxidants, flavonoids, phenols, epicatechin, and essential minerals.

These nutrients make chocolate not only tasty, but also beneficial for your heart.

Can you imagine a better way to reduce your blood pressure? But make sure

you use the right type of chocolate. Typical chocolate in the average candy bar

won’t do the job.

Miracle Phytonutrient #6:

HALT Heart Disease and Cancer with TABLE SYRUP!

The antioxidant enzyme called super oxide dismutase is a relatively new discovery.

Called S.O.D for short, this antioxidant scavenges your body to eliminate free radicals

before they can cause aging, heart disease or cancer.

One of the best ways to get plenty of super oxide dismutase is also a delicious treat:

It’s maple syrup!

If you’re choosing between real maple syrup and the typical high-fructose table syrups,

consider this: Choose pure maple syrup and get a priceless boost of cancer-fighting,

youth-preserving S.O.D free.

                            Miracle Phytonutrient #7:
The Snack that Zaps Cholesterol, Prevents Enlarged Prostate,
Balances Blood Sugar and Much More

It might seem illogical that you could reduce your cholesterol by eating, but it’s true.

Researchers discovered that pistachio nuts and sunflower seeds contain unique

phytosterols that can block cholesterol from being absorbed into your bloodstream.

These phytosterols could also help prevent cancer and heart disease, treat enlarged

prostate, and control blood sugar in diabetics.

 

Miracle Phytonutrient #8:
The Amazing Heart Protector

Medical researchers have been puzzled about the French. How can they eat one

of the fattiest, most cholesterol-ridden diets in the world, yet have one of the lowest

rates of heart disease? They found the answer in red wine. Wine contains a potent

antioxidant called resveratrol.

Resveratrol is the subject of exciting new breakthroughs in longevity research.

Scientists have found they can make lab animals live up to six times longer by

feeding them this miraculous nutrient.

 

Miracle Nutrient #9:
Block Cancer with Mustard

We take mustard for granted, but this often-ignored spice contains special

polysaccharides that can help prevent cancer.

Canadian researchers have shown it to be effective in preventing colon cancer,

the third-most common type. Researchers showed mustard actually blocked the

cellular changes that trigger cancer.

Lab animals had a 60% decrease in precancerous lesions that lead to cancer.

The best type: Use mustard seed itself. The white seeds are best. Mustard

greens are also an excellent choice.

 

Miracle Phytonutrients
#10 and #11:
Macular Degeneration Risk Cut 60%!

Lutein and zeaxanthin are two nutrients shown to reduce the risk of age-related

macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.

A study by Harvard University showed that these nutrients act like natural

sunglasses to protect the macula in the eye from sun exposure. 

Miracle Phytonutrients
#12 and #13:
The Amazing Anti-
Inflammatory Fruit

Strawberries are so packed with anti-inflammatory nutrients that I liken them

to a drug for their powerful effects.

They are so rich in phenols, in particular, miracle phytonutrients called anthocyanins

and ellagitannins. These are powerful antioxidants that prevent the oxidative damage

that can cause cancer, heart disease, and other diseases of aging.

The unique phenols prevent the clogging of the arteries that causes heart attacks and

strokes. Unlike drugs, strawberries have no dangerous side effects. Even better—

they taste great!

 

Miracle Phytonutrient #14:
REVERSE Age-Related
Degeneration of the Brain!

Extensive research has shown that berries have powerful effects to delay and even

help reverse the aging process of the brain.

It is believed that the nutrients in berries can prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s.

Some of the key phytonutrients in berries are called anthocyanins. These are

remarkable brain-boosting chemicals that can help you preserve your memory

and clear up an occasional case of “brain fog.

 

Miracle Phytonutrient #15:
The Indian Secret for Relieving Joint Pain

Chances are good that you have a powerful pain blocker in your spice cabinet right now.

Its active ingredient is curcumin.

A remarkable finding at Cornell University shows that curcumin blocks the COX-2 enzyme

that plays a role in causing pain.The new high-priced pain-relieving prescription drugs

do the same thing, but the drugs can have risky side effects. Natural physicians

prescribe this spice to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
