Understanding Your Alcat Test Results Understanding Your Alcat Test Results Optimal Wellness Through Customized Nutrition Today in the industrialized world, we face vastly different threats to our health and well- being as compared to threats imposed on our grandparents and those who came before us. In past years, infection was the greatest cause of death. Today it is cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other degenerative, chronic diseases associated with aging. Recent scientific discoveries have revealed increasingly deeper levels of understanding of how food interacts with the immune system affecting metabolism in ways that can be either beneficial or detrimental. Chronic activation of the immune system and the chronic inflammation that it produces is not only the common feature of modern diseases of aging, but also its major underlying cause. The “wrong” food, although it may be “healthful” for most people, will induce inflammation. The Why is it immune system aims to damage the food, which it mistakes as a harmful invader, such as important to a bacteria, parasite or virus, but also ends up damaging our own bodies. Long-term exposure can even trigger autoimmunity, where the have the immune system actively attacks our own tissues and bodily structures. Alcat Test? It has been known for ages that food can be either the best medicine or a strong poison. The ancient Greeks like Hippocrates and Lucretius expressed this clearly in their writings which have been maintained, “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food” and “One man’s meat is another man’s poison.” The Alcat Test can tell you which food is your ‘meat’ and which is your ‘poison’. It is not a substitute for medical care, but it can be extremely helpful if incorporated into a healthy lifestyle and as an aid in disease prevention. If a medical condition exists, the Alcat Test is helpful used in conjunction with the advice of a qualified health practitioner. The following pages will give you the information that is required to do so.

Your Alcat Test results will help you select an interesting and varied eating program based on foods that are compatible with your unique biochemical makeup. To gain the most benefit, study this booklet carefully and begin your personal food plan as soon as possible. The Alcat Test is for food sensitivities that cause chronic inflammation. This booklet contains valuable information and practical advice to help you safely change your eating pattern and lifestyle while still maintaining a balanced nutritional intake. 4 Understanding Your Alcat Test Results Understanding the Difference Between Food Allergies, Food Sensitivities, and Intolerances Adverse reactions to foods and chemicals are often called hypersensitivities. There are many different hypersensitivities to foods. You may hear the terms “allergy”,” sensitivity”, and “intolerance” being used interchangeably and also incorrectly. The following clarification reflects how most health experts are trained to use these terms. Allergy Sensitivity Intolerance A type 1 hypersensitivity, the Sensitivities cause a chronic The word “intolerance” can IgE (Immunoglobin E) mediated inflammatory process.

    Omid Roustaei | www.thecaspianchef.com | www.instagram.com/thecaspianchef About Persian Cuisine Persian cuisine is one of the world’s great gastronomies, flourishing for centuries across an area that, at the height of the ancient Persian Empire (circa 550 to 330 B.C.), included modern-day Iran, along with parts of Iraq, Macedonia, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. The repertoire of dishes is fragrant, diverse, and highly refined, based on complex culinary techniques. They are imbued with fresh flowers and herbs like rose petals, fenugreek, and mint; spices like saffron, sumac, and cardamom; fruits like pomegranate and barberry; all kinds of citrus; and nuts, including pistachios and almonds. If this roster of ingredients sounds familiar, it’s because Persian cooking has influenced Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Northern Indian, and Turkish cuisines yet itself remains somewhat below the radar. Typical Iranian main dishes are combinations of rice with meat (such as lamb, chicken, or fish), vegetables, and nuts. Fresh green herbs are frequently used, along with fruits such as plums, pomegranates, quinces, prunes, apricots, and raisins. Characteristic Iranian flavorings such as saffron, dried limes, cinnamon, turmeric, and fresh herbs are mixed and used in various dishes. The agriculture of Iran produces many fruits and vegetables. Thus, a bowl of fresh fruit is common on Iranian tables, and vegetables are standard sides to most meals. These are not only enjoyed fresh and ripe as desserts but are also combined with meat and form accompaniments to main dishes. When fresh fruits are not available, a large variety of dried fruits such as dates, figs, apricots, and peaches are used instead.

  • José Andrés Brings the Wonders of China and Peru to the Nation's
    For immediate Release Contact: Maru Valdés (202) 638-1910 x 247 [email protected] José Andrés Brings the Wonders of China and Peru to the Nation’s Capital October 28, 2013 – José Andrés, the chef who introduced America to traditional Spanish tapas and championed the path of avant-garde cuisine in the U.S., is opening a modern Chinese- Peruvian concept, in the heart of Penn Quarter in downtown Washington, DC. The restaurant will feature Chifa favorites–the cuisine known throughout Peru, melding Chinese style and native ingredients–with his personal and creative take on Chinese classics and this South American style. José is no stranger to weaving cultures together in a dynamic dining experience, he is well known for his interpretation of Chinese and Mexican food, culture and traditions at his award-winning restaurant China Poblano at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. At this new location, José and his talented culinary team will create authentic, yet innovative dishes inspired by their research and development trips to Asia and most recently to Peru, that have helped them master the various skills and techniques of this rising world cuisine. Highlighting the rich flavors, bold colors, diverse textures and unique aromas, the menu will apply time-honored Chinese techniques to Peruvian ingredients. From the classic Peruvian causas or ceviches, to Asian favorites like dim sums and sumais, the dishes will showcase Peru’s multi- cultural influences and ingredients in true Jose fashion. “Peru is an astonishing country. The people and the culture reveal so many traditions. The history with China is fascinating and the Chifa cuisine so unique,” said José.

In a previous study, we had shown that a species’ abundance [as expressed by the GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility)] dataset is a core determinant for the development of a natural product into a medicine. Our overarching aim is to understand the unique requirements for natural product-based drug development. Web of Science was queried for research on alkaloids in combination with plant systematics/taxonomy. All alkaloids containing species demonstrated an average increase of 8.66 in GBIF occurrences between 2014 and 2020. Medicinal Species with alkaloids show higher abundance compared to non-medicinal alkaloids, often linked also to cultivation. Alkaloids with high biodiversity are often simple alkaloids found in multiple species with the presence of ’driver species‘ and are more likely to be included in early-stage drug development compared to ‘rare’ alkaloids. Similarly, the success of an alkaloid Citation: Heinrich, M.; Mah, J.; Amirkia, V.
