Are there alternatives to pharmacology? It would seem so.



Is Sauerkraut the Next Chicken Soup?

The Pickled Cabbage Condiment May Have Health Benefits Beyond Vitamins

Nov. 8, 2005 —

Could sauerkraut be the next chicken soup?
The fermented food has been getting a lot of buzz lately, after scientists in Seoul claimed that 11 of 13 infected chickens started to recover from the avian flu after being fed an extract of kimchi, a Korean dish similar to sauerkraut, according to a BBC report.
With fear of a possible bird flu pandemic growing, sales of kimchi and sauerkraut have spiked in many areas of the world, various news reports state.

Vitamins, Definitely; Anti-Cancer Properties, Maybe


There is no medical research showing the fermented cabbage dishes have curative properties against the avian flu, but researchers have found other reasons people should stop by the condiment aisle on their next supermarket trip. A recent study by the University of New Mexico indicates that eating sauerkraut's main ingredient, cabbage, may help ward off breast cancer.
Researchers wanted to know why Polish women have low rates of breast cancer, so they compared Polish natives to Polish-American immigrants. They discovered that women who ate four or more servings of raw or barely cooked cabbage per week during adolescence were 74 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than the women who ate 1.5 or fewer servings of sauerkraut per week.
More research will be needed to prove a conclusive relationship, but that doesn't mean people should skimp on the sauerkraut. Cabbage is packed with vitamins that may boost the immune system, and fermented cabbage contains lactic acid, which helps with digestion and may weaken infections.
A one-cup serving of sauerkraut provides 102 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin K, 35 percent of vitamin C and 12 percent of iron, according to NutritionData. Plus, it contains only 32 calories, with four grams of fiber.
The breast cancer study is promising, said lead study author Dorothy Rybaczyk-Pathak. "Breast cancer risk is not just a function of the increase in factors that we acquire as we change the environment, but also what we give up in our diet or in our lifestyle," she told BreastCancer Source, a research Web site maintained by the drugmaker AstraZeneca.

Bird flu, breast cancer and cabbage = swine flu and homeopathy?

[chaz]

Kimchi cures cancer, bird flu, everything. I head it so many times. Korean "science" in these issues should always be highly suspect.

In truth, Korea has one of the highest colon and stomach cancer rates in the world, in large part due to eating fermented and salty foods on a daily basis.

shultz, you and kellie should get together and open a hospital.

Shultz and Dooley ER Clinic, is gonna have to wait on the brew pub first. I'm just saying there's a wealth of knowledge of the old ways out there, that has almost been forgotten. My favorite movie of all time "The Outlaw Josey Wales" has a scene where Clints partner gets shot and the old woman at the ferry crossin gives Clint a poultice. Yeah I know the kid didn't make it, but there is ongoing research into the return of natural/homeopathic remedies. After all, where did aspirin come from? The Indians used to make a tea from the bark of a willow tree and waala aspirin. Probably one of the finest examples of incorporating ancient remedies into modern pharmecuticals.

We have so many illegal immigrants around here that it would not surprise me in the least if we have an outbreak of it! I am going to be stocking up on Germ X & using it every time that I go out in public, especially to Walmart.

I'm not knocking alternative therapy or healing as a whole... but there's a lot of junk out there that people do that's just silly...

I'm a big fan of non pharmaceuticals... but when I have a bacterial infection, I'm going for some antibiotics... I'm not going to start taking vitamin E and garlic and think that's gonna cure it in the same amount of time.
