The following are dietary guidelines for
all patients. The section on nutritional Q & A at the end of this section
clarifies much of this lifestyle change.
1. PROTEIN
Eat dense
protein 3x a day. A portion should be at least the size of the palm of your
hand. This includes:
Eggs
Beef
Chicken
Turkey
Lamb
Pork
Fish
(All meat and fish needs to be cooked, egg yolks preferably runny) 2. VEGETABLES You can eat all of the FRESH vegetables
that you want except potatoes and beans.
(potatoes contain the same amount of sugar as a can of Coke. Beans contain
phytates which block digestion of certain vitamins and minerals.) 3. FRUIT After 3 months following the diet, you
may eat a limited amount of FRESH fruit daily. You can mix your fruits together but don’t
mix fruit with other foods.
Fruit must be eaten in between meals at least one hour away from meals.
Eat your fruit but don’t drink your fruit or dry your fruit. 4. GOOD FATS Unlimited Butter, Olive Oil
No Margarine, No Vegetable Oil, No Soybean Oil, No Canola Oil, No Safflower
Oil, No Crisco, No Pam, No Trans Fatty acids, No Partially Hydrogenated oils
.
(most prepackaged foods and salad dressings contain oils that can cause
health problems.) 5. WATER Drink 1 liter of DISTILLED WATER per 50
lbs. of body weight, daily.
(100lbs = 2 liters, 150lbs = 3 liters of water, etc.) 6. SNACK Eat every 2 hours to prevent your body
from going into starvation mode.
(Eating every 2 hours takes stress of the adrenal glands, pancreas and many
important functions off the body. In order to regain your health you want to
take as much stress off of your body as possible.) 7. AVOID
Food Sensitivities/Allergies:
Wheat, Corn, Soy & Dairy (eggs and butter are OK)
NO:
Rice, Potatoes, Cereal, Bread, Flour, Pasta, Cakes, Brownies, Pies, Cookies
Ice cream, Candy, Soda, Artificial or Natural Sweeteners* & Alcohol.
(In general, alcohol is ok approx. twice a week, but not 2 days in a row.
Some people are more sensitive to one type of alcohol than another. In
general the better the quality of the alcohol, the better your body will be
able to handle it.)
*(Honey is ok as an occasional sweetener. Rotate a few different
brands/sources so that you do not become sensitive to it.) 8. IN GENERAL
Try to eat organic FRESH foods. Avoid food preservatives, monosodium
glutamate (MSG) or hydrolyzed proteins. If it says “LOW FAT or FAT FREE”
don’t eat it.

Nutritional
Q & A
Why is the diet so important?
The diet we have patients follow
eliminates all refined sugar and refined carbohydrates which are toxic to the
body, depress the immune system and imbalance the biochemistry of the body.
It also eliminates foods that most people are sensitive to. This diet among
other things will keep your blood sugar in balance which will help to
maintain the corrections that we make to your body. I have found it nearly
impossible for complete healing to take place if the patient does not follow
the diet. If you do not feel prepared at this time to follow our dietary
guidelines, it is best to postpone becoming a new patient until you feel
ready. I started the diet but then fell off of
it, what should I do? Don’t despair! Following the diet as close
as possible is something to work towards, and mistakes do happen. Do not be
alarmed if some or all of your original (or new!) symptoms come back. Just
start back on the diet again and your body should rebalance itself shortly. I’m having a hard time changing my diet
Lifestyle change is one of the most difficult things a patient will have to
do. This diet should be done in general—exceptions can be made for
celebrations and special occasions! But the percentage of effort that you put
into your diet will reflect the percentage of success that you will have with
your treatments and health in general. Don’t give up if you make a mistake or
you go off it for a short period of time. Just go back on the diet and you
will see your health improve.
What about these food sensitivities?
Most people are wheat, dairy and soy sensitive, and in 50% of people corn is
a problem. Adding these back into your diet could have an even much more
adverse effect on your health then even sugars or starch. Even a small bite
of a food you are sensitive can trigger dysfunction in your body.
What about canned and processed foods?
In general try to eat fresh, whole, organic foods. The body does not tolerate
well chemicals in foods such as preservatives, rancid oils (such as vegetable
oil), food colorings, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. All of these
chemicals can impact your health.
I can’t possibly drink all of this water!
Start by drinking as much as you can and build up to the recommended amount
for your body weight. Drinking water is one of the most things you can do for
your health, along with proper diet and rest. Your body is made up of mostly
water, and when there is not enough present, your body will start shutting
down different functions in order to conserve water. Distilled water is what
I recommend due to its purity. Distilled water does not have any minerals in
it, but this should not pose any problems if you are eating a well balanced,
organic diet. Other water such as bottled spring water is not well regulated
and from time to contaminants such as chemicals, viruses and bacteria have
been found. Home filtered water can be problematic as well, because most home
filters do not filter out small spores, viruses, bacteria or parasites.
