Phytochemicals – naturally occurring compounds in plants – are a vast, relatively untapped resource for natural healing. These powerful plant compounds are potent agents formed by nature to work with the body to fight disease, rather than working against it, as drugs often do.

Some of the best phytonutrient-rich roods are:

Wolfberries (highest known antioxidant food – testing done by researchers at Tufts University)
Blueberries (all berries are good, but blueberries are a high source)
Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables
Chili peppers
Citrus fruits
Dark-green leafy vegetables
Flaxseeds
Garlic
Melons
Pink grapefruit
Soybeans and other soy foods (organic)
Sweet potatoes

Phytochemicals are powerful antioxidant ammunition in the war against cancer, aging, and most health disorders. Not only do we need antioxidants to help us defend ourselves against the process of aging, but also for the poisons we ingest as well as the poisons that are in our immediate environment.



‘Somewhere in the plant kingdom there is a remedy for everything.’ – James A. Duke Ph.D., ethno botanist
