A
nutrient-rich diet designed to work with your body
to lower dietary stress and increase nutrient assimilation. Adherence
to the following healthy eating recommendations will accelerate the healing
process.
Fresh
Fruits and Vegetables- Organically grown when possible.
~ 50% of everything you eat should be live (i.e., has
not been heated).
~ Juicing is an efficient way for your body to absorb
concentrated nutrients.
Green
Drink - twice a day. For example: Liquid Chlorophyll, Barley Green Drink,
Wheat Grass Juice, etc. Or you can juice Kale (basically tasteless, especially
if you put it with some kind of juice) and different kinds of Mustard
Greens (tastes very strong and bitter to some) or Spinach.
Use
Whole Wheat or Other Whole-Grain Flours and
Breads, Spinach or Artichoke Pastas, Brown Rice, etc.
No
White Flour, White Bread, White Pasta, White
Rice, Processed and separated or Bleached Grains. These bleached and
chemically treated foods are distressful to your digestive system and
overwork the liver.
You
can use some Honey, Raw Sugar or Stevia
(an herbal sweetener). Sucanet and Turbinado sugars can also be used as
they have not gone through the refining process.
No
Refined White Sugar
No
Artificial Sweeteners
Use
small amounts of Real Salt, unrefined Sea Salt, or Earth Salt, rather
than Table Salt
Pepper
(Black, White or Red) can be put on food AFTER the food is cooked. When
heated, pepper can become carcinogenic (cancer producing).
Cancer
patients: Avoid ALL Meat during therapy (with
the exception of Fish which can be eaten once or twice a week). Note:
If you feel you have to have some meat, do so sparingly and rarely.
For
other illnesses: Use Meat sparingly and get sources of free-range fed
animals without steroids and antibiotics in the tissues.
DO
NOT EAT Pork or pork products.
Replace
Milk with Soy or Rice Milk. No Dairy Products.
Soy Milk is a wonderful choice, but make sure they are not from genetically
engineered soy plants, which ends up messing up the immune system. Make
sure the source of Rice Milk is from Brown Rice.
Organic
eggs may be used once in a while, if from free-range-fed chickens. (In
other words, without hormones in their feed).
If
you feel you need more protein, you can have nuts and legumes. Spirulina
(found in most health food stores) is a plant protein source in tablet
form and can be taken to supplement the protein in your diet and it is
so healthy for you. Eda-mames are an excellent protein source.
Use
Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil when oil
is needed in recipes, No Refined Oils.
Digestive
Enzymes are sometimes needed for weakened digestive tracts of ill individuals,
so that nutrients can be better absorbed by the body. These enzymes must
be from a natural source, either Papaya or Pineapple. Take as directed,
each time you eat.
No
Alcohol
No
Smoking
You
can use Herb Teas, they are great and wonderful.
Do
not use anything with Black Tea
No
Caffeine.
No
Genetically Engineered or Altered Foods.
