Dosage: Not covered (AHP; KOM).“Health hazards not known with proper therapeutic dosages†(PH2). In huge quantities, glucosinolate/isothiocyanate containing crucifers might upset the thyroid. And in huge doses, hard to get dietarily, indole-3-carbinol, might stimulate breast cancer rather than prevent it because it does so at levels reasonably attainable through dietary consumption of crucifers (Brassicaceae).Purple cabbage has the added advantage of anthocyanins, and almost twice as much vitamin C as green or white cabbage. But purple has only half the folate. I suggest using a different variety every day. Contraindications: Not covered (AHP; KOM).“Health hazards not known with proper therapeutic dosages†(PH2).

Dosage: Not covered (AHP).

JAD). Commission E reports contraindications for seed and seed shell: hypersensitivity; adverse effects: allergic reactions with skin manifestations and migraine (AEH). Patients with irritable bowel syndrome should avoid cocoa-containing products (APA). Cocoa butter clogs pores, causing blackheads in animals (APA). Biogenic amines (phenylethylamine, serotonin, tryptamine, and tyramine) can trigger migraine attacks (free amines total 750–1440 ppm in fermented beans). Even caffeine can trigger headaches in naive subjects. Theophylline is present in traces only in unroasted beans, which disappear with roasting (HHB). Enzymes such as hydrolase, lipase, and proteinase are deactivated in roasting. If caffeine from coffee works for hyperkinesis (ADD), a big if, why not caffeine from chocolate, or tea, both of which may have even more health benefits via their catechin-tannins? Milk chocolate may have 2000 ppm caffeine, bitter chocolate 4000 ppm (PH2). Contraindications: Not covered (AHP).

Dosage: Not covered (AHP). No health hazards or side effects noted with proper administration (PHR; PH2). Do not apply near nostrils of pediatrics, may cause serious glottal spasms (KOM; PHR). More than 10 g cajuput oil may induce life-threatening intoxication, due to cineole, with circulatory and respiratory disorders, hypotension, and possible collapse (PH2). Topical and vaginal irritation have been reported from similar oils from other species of Melaleuca, but the topical use of the oil has not generally been associated with toxicity. Still, the topical use cannot be recommended at this time (LRNP, January 1991). As with most EOs, this one may induce dermatosis in sensitive individuals. Contraindications: Not covered (AHP).
