I am a Reiki practicioner. While doing Reiki for a patient with gluten sensitivity it was recommended that he take the seeds of two tomatoes every night for three nights. He did this although he had little faith in its ability to help him and he HATED tomatoes. He noticed after the second day that the pain in his bowels was gone and he felt much better. Now when he feels the pain he will take the seeds of two tomatoes everyday for a few days and the pain is gone.
I can't find anything online to explain why it helps but it certainly helps him.
New research is beginning to indicate that tomatoes may be used to help prevent lung cancer. Two powerful compounds found in tomatoes-coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid-are thought to block the effects of nitrosamines. By blocking the effects of these nitrosamines, the chances of lung cancer are reduced significantly.
