In his #1 New York Times Bestseller Spontaneous Healing, Andrew Weil, M.D., advocates an integrative approach to dealing with serious and/or chronic illnesses. Although published over 10 years ago, this seminal book remains relevant as health care (or lack thereof) continues to be a hot topic in the United States. Dr. Weil explains how health supplements, diet, exercise and the mind-body-spirit connection help you optimize the healing system. From adopting a "healing diet" to using tonics and protecting yourself form toxins, Dr. Weil's guide includes a variety of herbs, supplements and foods, including the following:
Cordyceps--Popular in traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening Qi (energy), cordyceps is used today for energy enhancement, stamina and immune function. Jarrow Formula's Organic Cordyceps provides a broad spectrum of physiologically active compounds. In Spontaneous Healing, cordyceps appears in the Using Tonics chapter. A type of mushroom that grows on the "living bodies of certain moth larvae," cordyceps is not only considered a "supertonic" but also is frequently used in Chinese cooking to flavor duck and chicken soups.
Flaxseed--Omega3 supplements are all the rage today, but fish oil just does not work for vegans or others with dietary restrictions. To improve a healing diet, Dr. Weil suggests buying whole flaxseeds and grinding them up and adding them to homemade baked goods or sprinkling them on salads or cereal. Beveri's Organic Golden Whole Flaxseed is USDA Organic certified and is sourced exclusively from farms in the central plains of North America. Plant-based Omega3 supplements add fiber to your diet as well as boost your immune system.
Garlic and Ginger--According to Dr. Weil, these two culinary herbs qualify as health tonics. Garlic boosts the immune system and supports cardio health, and ginger does it's best to support digestive health. Kyolic's Immune Formula 103 combines vitamins, mushrooms and herbs for powerful immune support. Jarrow's Ginger is naturally dried and processed without any additional heat. Find out why ginger and garlic made list of 10 Foods for Cleansing and Detoxification.
Green Tea--Known as the national beverage of Japan, green tea is impressive as a general tonic as well. Consuming the beverage is advocated in Spontaneous Healing, but green tea is an herb with extremely potent active ingredients, including EGCG. Enzymatic Therapy's Green Tea Elite vegetarian capsules are 2X as absorbable as regular green teal extracts.
Mushrooms--Grifola frondosa, also known as "the hen of the woods" or Maitake, is one of many tonic mushrooms used in the Far East for immune support. Garden of Life's RM-10 is a combination of 10 organically grown, tonic mushrooms. Along with cat's claw and selenium, RM-10 is an ideal food for the immune system.
Olive Oil--From Spontaneous Healing: Learn to rely on olive oil as your principal fat, preferably a flavorful brand of extra virgin olive oil. Braggs Olive Oil is made from organically grown Kalamata olives. Produced in Greece, this monounsaturated fat adds the finest flavor to salads, vegetables, pasta and all your favorite foods.
Psyllium husks--Fiber is another crucial component of a healing diet. Eating enough vegetables, fruit and whole grain is one way to increase your total fiber intake. Supplementing with psyllium husks is another way to promote regularity. Yerba Prima's Psyllium Husks are gluten free with no added sweeteners, colors or additives.
Vitamin C--Incorporating more fruits and vegetables in your diet not only helps increase your fiber intake but also helps protect your body from toxins. Vitamin C, probably the most common antioxidant vitamin, is known for its antioxidant power. Ester-C is an non-acidic form of vitamin C available in various delivery systems. Their Chewable Vitamin C Wafers are 100% vegetarian and gluten free.
Zinc Picolinate--Spontaneous Healing addresses specific health concerns, including men's and women's special concern. Prostate health is one of those male-specific concerns. Zinc picolinate is an essential mineral involved in multiple enzymatic and hormonal body functions, including prostate health. Nutricology's Zinc Picolinate is hypoallergenic and available in vegetarian capsules.
