Youre not gonna be having to cook four hours a day to make it work. Im gonna really show you how to make it applicable and practical, too, and the other thing is is that theres really no reason why anybody out there shouldnt pick up the phone right now and make a decision at this point, make the, you know this is a decision you have to make for your life because this comprehensive program is gonna change your life only if you really learn it. So you have to pick up the phone, get off the couch, make the pledge to support the station and change your life. Thats all it takes is one decision, one decision that can set you free because im saying this right now cause i know when people are afraid. Theyre afraid because changes can be anxietyprovoking, and sometimes this is asking you to make a big change, changing the way i eat, changing the way i think and behave in my life, and changing my view of healthcare and taking charge of my own life and not be responsible for somebody else to do it for me. I have to take control of my own life . This can be scary. But im saying itsi know its scary. I know it maybe tough for you. But the benefits are so huge that you just have to do it. You know dr. Fuhrman what i love about the package at 150 level, the fuhrman solution, is that youve kind of thought of everything. From the cooking dvds to the background science to the recipes to the success journal to every little element that somebodys gonna need so they dont feel lost, but one of the fun things is youve just come up, i have your old one, but this is the new refrigerator magnet that youve created now with the wheel, not with the pyramid, and i cant tell you how many times i have faced my refrigerator and seen you in front of my refrigerator and instead of going into the freezer and getting some ice cream, i go in and get a handful of raw almonds and get just as satisfied and feel a whole lot better. This is one of those fun little things, but it actually does help. Right, well, youre gonna get that refrigerator magnet which has the food plate on it. And its gonnayoure gonna know that how to structure with just one quick look, how to structure your daily meal plan. And you know what . Everything supports and reinforces the other, because people need all this information. You know, when you have incomplete inforon, you get incomplete results. When you have comprehensive complete information including thousands of recipes rated by people like you and the ability to communicate about the recipes when youre having a difficulty with it, maybe it doesnt come out that great and you want to figure what did i do wrong in that recipe . Well, this is a live program. It changes. Its being able to modify to your particular needs because were interacting with you holding your hand, keeping you informed and part of our community the whole year and beyond. You know, joel, ive got to ask you, its my impression, of course im a big fan of pbs as i know you are. This really couldnt have found a home anywhere else but right here on public broadcasting. Yeah. Is thatdo you think thats a fair statement . I think that its not only fair, its obviouslyits clearly obviously that theres no way this information could come out of commercial stations. That the value of pbs and the mission of pbs is so important to america. I mean, we literallyits not just this program, but pbs changes america in what they do. Continuing education is what life is all about. You know information changes in life, and we have this, for example the example is this program. The new information on Human Nutrition thats changed in the last few years. How can we bring this presentation straight to the public without commercial interests, without being affected by political and economic power . But the point is, this is critical. The work of this station is critical, and this information is valuable and critical to americas future. Now dr. Fuhrman, this is a Pretty Amazing package for only 150.

Now let us return to the final segment of the immunity solution, right here on your Public Television station. Were back with dr. Fuhrmans immunity solution. Thank you. Welcome back to the immunity solution. And this is part three, the fun part of the show where we get to talk about food. As if i wasnt talking about it already, right . Now i want you to learn two important new words. Words that i made up nutritarian and gbombs. I want you to eat a nutritarian diet. Thats a diet thats strives for nutritional excellence. Is a nutritarian. And my goal is to have you enjoy life to the fullest as a practicing nutritarian. I insist itll make your life more enjoyable, not just disease resistant. Now keep in mind, a vegetarian or a vegan could also be a nutritarian if the diet is designed healthfully. And a person who eats some animal products could also be a nutritarian if their diet is designed healthfully. A nutritarian learns about the most powerful healing foods and consumes them regularly. The second word i want you to learn is gbombs. Gbombsg, b, o, m, b, s. Its an acronym that helps you remember the super foods you need to eat regularly to drive the immunity solution. These are the foods richest in anticancer phytochemicals that we dont get enough of in the s. A. D. The standard american diet. Foods that contain nutrients essential to the immunity solution. So lets talk about Green Vegetables first. The consumption of raw greens has been proven to reduce cancer rates in more than 200 separate scientific studies. In each of our cells is a dna sequence called the antioxidant response element. Its like a protective force field around the ship in star trek. Your cells have this anticancer force field and its fueled by Green Vegetables. And the greens that have the most powerful fuel for the cells protective function are examples of cruciferous vegetables are for example, in a recent medical study, men who ate 28 servings of vegetables a week, decreased their instance of Prostate Cancer by 33 . However, if they ate just three servings of cruciferous vegetables a week, they decreased the occurrence of Prostate Cancer by 41 . Thats three servings of cruciferous, more powerful than 28 servings of regular vegetables. The more cruciferous vegetables consumed, the lower the rate of cancer. This is particularly true of Breast Cancer. A recent study showed that the daily intake of cruciferous vegetables decreased Breast Cancer deaths by 62 , compared to women who did not eat cruciferous vegetables. And this radical decrease in deaths from Breast Cancer is even observed in women who already have a diagnosis of of Breast Cancer. Amazing isnt it . Dont you think every person should learn about this and know this . Yes. A group of powerful compounds from cruciferous vegetables that offers this protection is called isothiocyanates or itcs. There are over 120 different types of itcs, and they have different effects on the cell to move carcinogens and repair defects that could lead to cancer. What is fascinating is that these itcs are not in the vegetable yet before you eat it. But as you chew it, the cell wall of the vegetable releases an enzyme called myrosinase that forms the itcs in your mouth before you even swallow. If you chop or blend the veggies well, you will have the same effect to form these compounds. So the better these vegetables are chewed, the better theyre chopped or blended, more beneficial itcs are released into the body. The next super food i want you to eat is beans. Scientists discovered a new potent anticancer compound in this fun to eat food. And the name of this compound is long, actually 26 letters long, and its so hard to pronounce, so it must be important. Its this compound was found to inhibit a key enzyme involved in tumor growth. Thats right. When you eat beans regularly they prevent tumors from forming in the body. Plus, theyre rich in anticancer polyphenols. Accordingly, a recent study showed that men who ate beans or legumes regularly had a 40 lower risk of Prostate Cancer. And numerous studies show beans dramatically cut colon cancer risk, too. A 6year study tracking over 32,000 individuals found those who ate beans, peas or lentils only twice a week decreased their risk of colon cancer by 50 . Wow if they cut their chance of colon cancer in half by eating beans twice a week, imagine the benefits of eating beans daily. You may not have any friends left, but at least you wont get cancer. Seriously, though, if you do eat beans on a regular basis, your body builds up the bacteria you need to digest them, and you dont get the indigestion and gas. The other fascinating thing about beans is that theyre very high in fiber and resistant starch. Resistant starch is resistant to being digested and that means that lots of the carbohydrate calories in beans do not get absorbed by the body. They just pass through us, making beans a very weightloss favorable food. Thats right, about half the carb calories in beans do not get absorbed. So beans make you feel full, they stabilize your blood sugar, they protect you against cancer, and they help you lose weight. Onions are next. Who would have imagined that onions could be so protective against cancer . A multicountry european study tracked the consumption of food and cancer and found the one most protective variable for Prostate Cancer was onions. And the strongest causative factor was animal product consumption, specifically meat and dairy. Now if we look at all the studies on Prostate Cancer we find that tomatoes get all the publicity because theyre about a hundred studies showing a protective effect of tomatoes on Prostate Cancer. Now even though there may not be as many studies done on onions and cancer, but if you look at the strength of the effect in those studies, we find that onions have even a stronger, more protective effect than tomatoes do. Pooling numerous studies from 37 Different Countries on onions and cancer, we find between 50 and 88 reduction in the instance of various cancers. And some of the Green Vegetables, the green cruciferous vegetables, when you cut the onion, it causes a Chemical Reaction to occur. And the same reaction that creates the acid that makes your eyes burn, is a reaction that forms these organosulfide compounds with their powerful anticancer effects. So the point to remember here is that the enzyme is heat sensitive. So to increase the cancer fighting power of onions in your diet, you want to eat some raw onion and chew them very well. If you cook the onion, and then cut it up or blended it, then it wont give off that gas that makes your eyes tear. So you wont produce those anticancer compounds. But if you chop it or blend it first, when its raw, you can still cook the onion after and maintain most of the benefits because the organosulfide compounds are not to destroyed by cooking. You just have to make sure you chop it up really fine before you cook it so those organosulfide compounds are formed before cooking. Do you follow that . Yes. All right, now guess who is the king of the cancer fighting allstars . Nope, not lebron james. audience laughs its mushrooms. Mushrooms have three important and unique cancer defenses. First, they contain antigenbinding lectins. That means they stick to the surfaces of abnormal cells so the body can recognize and attack those cells removal before they become cancerous. Fascinating isnt it . audience yes. Our immune system has the ability to fully recognize abnormal cells and remove them but only when it becomes fully activated when you eat mushrooms. The second important cancer fighting feature of mushrooms is that theyre strong angiogenesis inhibitors. That means these compounds inhibit new blood vessel growth. See in order for a tumor to grow, in order for cells to become cancerous, and spread they have to send out signals that create new blood vessels to grow and feed them with nutrients and oxygen. And mushrooms say, no way. They inhibit the enzymes released by abnormal cells. That promote blood vessel growth thereby restricting the oxygen and nutrients from getting to those cells. So these substances derived from mushrooms starve off tumors and cancers. And the fat on your body is also like a tumor. It secretes hormones that stimulates growth of blood vessels also. The fat cant grow without a Delivery System of highways that bring it more calories and mushrooms stop that delivery. They wont let fat grow easily on your body either. The third important protective feature of mushrooms is they contain aromatase inhibitors. These compounds prevent the body from making excess estrogen. And they protect the breast tissue from being stimulated from circulating estrogen. Now because of this, mushrooms are powerfully protective against Breast Cancer. Its as if mushrooms are a necessary armor for our immunity system. Look, your car needs gas and oil, and your immune system needs greens, onions and mushrooms, or it simply is not going to function normally. So lets move on to berries. I love that berries taste great, theyre certainly a great diet and weight loss food. As theyre also so low in calories they even have a low glycemic load for a diabetic. But did you know that berries can slow ageing of the berries and prevent dementia . Did you know berries have powerful anticancer benefits . Ellagic acid and anthocyanins are prominent phytochemicals in berries that inhibit the growth of abnormal cells and cancer cells. One recent study gave strawberry concentrates to patients with esophagus cancer and found that the cancers reversed or stopped progressing. Amazingly, anticancer potential here is even surprising the researchers involved in these studies whove reported to me that this is a hotbed of recent excitement. Whats observed is that we can almost wipe out cancers in animals genetically prone to get the cancers, when a mixture of these particular super foods are put together and fed to these animals. So the last on your gbombs list right, g, b, o, m, b, s, the last on your list, is seeds. Dont forget those seeds every day. Numerous studies on seeds and lignans derived from seeds is simply spectacular, and its important you know about it. Ill just give you the results of two important studies. Youll get the point. A double blinded placebo controlled trial with flaxseed was done where they gave women who had Breast Cancer a flax seed containing muffin each day. And, of course, half the women in the study got a muffin that looked just like that, but didnt have the flaxseeds. And six weeks later, the Breast Cancer tumors were biopsied and analyzed, and they found significant cancer cell death and regression of cancer proliferation, which means the growth of the cancer, in the group that had the flax. Another study on the lignans from seeds studied women who had Breast Cancer and they tracked the amount of lignans consumed over a 10year period. You see, lignans are rich in flaxseeds, chia seeds, some other seeds, the women who ate the most lignans which was less than 1 milligram a day had a 71 decrease in Breast Cancer mortality over that 10year period. Now one teaspoon of flax or chia seeds have about 7 milligrams of lignans, and in the study less than 1 milligram decreased Breast Cancer deaths by over 70 . Thats truly amazing. So heres my nutritarian prescription for you. Number one do you eat some beans every day . You should. I want you to. Check that off. Its important. Do you eat least a cup of berries and two other fruits a day . Are you having three fresh fruits a day . You got to check it off. Its one thing you have to do. Its part of the formula here. Now that 1 ounce of raw nuts and seeds, i want an half an ounce fromi want at least a tablespoon of chia seeds or sesame seeds or flaxseeds or hemp seeds, i want at least a tablespoon of those seeds to get the lignans you need. I want some of those nuts and seeds to be some walnuts if possible for the omega3 fatty acids. Have all the seeds and nuts you want, have the types you want, but have some of the hemp, chia, flax, or some walnuts for those mega3 fatty acids, and then have some other nuts and seeds, pistachio nuts, pecans, you know, macwhatever you want, and im gonna give you incredibly great recipe ideas for this, too. One big salad, i want a sign on your refrigerator that says that salad is the main dish. Take out a marker, make a nice
