Dark leafy greens deliver chlorophyll, which supports cellular oxygenation and gentle detoxification, plus the highest food concentrations of vitamin K1 and folate.

Preparation: Eat raw in salads with EVOO and lemon. Lightly cooked also works — and is required for thyroid patients eating cruciferous greens.

Curcumin blocks NF-κB, the master inflammation switch, and supports liver phase II detoxification. Its bioavailability is poor on its own — black pepper raises absorption by ~2,000%, and dietary fat further improves it.

Dosage: Culinary: ½–1 tsp daily in food or juice. Therapeutic: 500–1000mg curcumin extract with piperine, 1–2x daily.
