Blood group AB has the characteristics of A as well as B. The sub -
group  A2 needs more protein and fat than the dominant A1 type. Individuals of the non -vegetarian type, commonly with blood group O, 31 
 need mainly slow -digesting food; those of the vegetarian type and 
commonly with blood group A1 do better with fast digesting food or a low-
fat diet, while the other types and blood groups  may use a balanced diet. *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

 Chapter Three  
NUTRITION - Part Two  
Use Supplements, Allergy Testing, and Alkalize the Body  
 
 
SUPPLEMENTS  
Presently nutritional supplements are promoted on a big scale because 
that is where the money is. But the health benefits are usually very limited 
because most people use supplements instead of focusing on basic 
health improvement. The proper place of supplements is in addition to a 
health improvement program, and th en focusing on essential nutrients 
instead of using a wide range of fancy products. Commonly supplements now provide many times the amounts of 
individual nutrients that might be available even from a good diet and, if 
the correct nutrients are supplied in such high doses, they can actually 
improve or normalize a health problem. The reason for this success can 
be understood as follows. Presently diets are low in various nutrients but high in factors that reduce 
their availability, such as seeds high in phyta tes and phytic acid ( e.g., in 
cereals and bran) that prevent absorption of minerals, while microwave 
cooking, high heating and refining greatly reduce the amount of absorbed 
undamaged vitamins and other nutrients. Further, because of Candida -caused deficien cy of gastric acid and 
inflammation of the intestinal wall in addition to gluten sensitivity, many 
nutrients are poorly absorbed. These factors also cause Leaky Gut 
Syndrome, microbial infestation of the blood, chronic inflammations and 
allergies. This lea ds to hypercoagulation of the blood with blockage of 
blood vessels and tissue calcification. Therefore,  sensitive structures in the brain, eyes, glands and organs are 
no longer sufficiently supplied with blood, and the blood that they do 33 
 receive is low in  essential nutrients. So, it is no surprise that deficiencies  
are widespread. If we now increase the intake of a deficient nutrient ten -
fold with the help of a supplement, then we may double the blood level 
of this nutrient and get more of it to the nutrient -starved organs . However,  
supplements have the disadvantage that they are often synthetic and do 
not have bioenergy for proper absorption and use. They can help if really 
needed, but often they also are not properly excreted and produce toxic 
resid ues which the body may find difficult to excrete. An alternative strategy would be to use high -quality food prepared in a 
user-friendly way, heal the damage to the stomach and the intestinal wall 
by getting and keeping Candida under control, cleaning the blood of 
microbes, the blood vessels of obstruction s, and the tissue of 
calcifications. This corresponds to the Health Improvement Program. Until this becomes fully effective, high amounts of key nutrients may on 
balance still be beneficial. With this in mind, food supplements are most important for indi viduals 
with malabsorption, chronic diseases and those using microwave 
cooking, processed and refined food, or mostly non -organic produce. The following are some basic guidelines. To improve your diet preferably use concentrated health foods such as 
barley  or wheat grass powder, bee pollen, spirulina or chlorella, whey 
protein isolate, lecithin, krill oil and fish oils with added vitamin E. 
Preferably crush any vitamin or mineral tablets and mix them with meals 
or take your tablets or capsules near the mid dle of a meal. Some individuals and especially children cannot swallow capsules or 
tablets. An easy way is to place a tablet or capsule at the back of the 
tongue and then tilt the head back to look at the ceiling. The tablet or 
capsule will then automatica lly roll into the throat. Pyroluria  is a common metabolic condition in which pyrrol e, a key 
component of haemoglobin, is overproduced in the liver. The surplus 
binds to vitamin B6 and zinc and is excreted in the urine. This creates 
severe deficiencies in B 6 and zinc and some other nutrients, such as 34 
 niacinamide, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), and biotin. Depending on conditions, this may be a n underlying  cause of most 
chronic diseases, especially of  diabetes and mental -emotional 
condition s. Pyroluria can be inherited or acquired  due to intestinal 
dysbiosis with overgrowth of Candida, pleomorphic (shape -changing) 
microbes in the blood, and possibly Lyme disease, all affecting the liver. The resulting vitamin and mineral deficiencies may initially require a h igh 
intake of these vitamins, although biotin can be obtained from egg yolk, 
while gamma linolenic acid is highest in spirulina. With pyroluria the liver often cannot convert normal vitamin B6 or 
pyridoxine into the activated form Pyridoxal -5-Phosphate whi ch should 
then be supplemented. For d etails see: Pyroluria and Candida . Digestive enzymes  are beneficial for malabsorption, underweight , if 
elderly or in poor health, and may be taken with all cooked meals. Lipase 
(to digest fats) is especially good for diabetes, heart disease and 
overweight. Proteases (to digest proteins) such as bromelain and papain 
help with cooked meat. Fat-soluble nutrients  are frequently deficient due to malabsorption. Vitamins A and D may be  obtained from fish oils especially hali but liver 
oil and krill oil, which also supplies beneficial astaxanthin. Deep sea fish 
oil is good for providing omega -3 fatty acids but may not contain vitamins 
A and D. Try to obtain vitamin D 3 from sun exposure  or a capsule of 
5,000 IU/day. Vitamins A a nd D 3 are best taken in nearly equal amounts 
as they balance each other in their effect on bones. Vitamin E exists in 8 different forms as tocopherols and tocotrienols of 
which alpha tocopherol is the most common variety. While it is beneficial 
to get all forms of vitamin E from a good and varied diet or from 
supplements, to protect oils from becoming rancid in the bottle or in the 
body use mainly alpha tocopherol. Open vitamin E capsules and 
squeeze a suitable amount into any freshly opened bottle of oil, also rub 
on aging skin. Avoid synthetic d,l alpha tocopherols, natural vitamin E is 
d-alpha tocoph erol. Always add vitamin E to fish oils , linseed oil  and any 35 
 polyunsaturated oils . Lecithin (or choline), trimethylglycine and inositol  protect the liver from 
fatty degeneration. To improve the absorption of oils from capsules open 
them and mix with lecithin and food. Without emulsifying, oils may remain 
in a puddle on top of the stomach and not absorb properly. This also 
applies to other oil -soluble nutrients, such as coenzyme Q 10. The amino 
acid L -carnitine helps to improve energy by channelling fa tty acids into 
cells, even better is the related acetyl L -carnitine. Sometimes fat -soluble nutrients, such as vitamin E, lutein (a carotenoid), 
or coenzyme Q10 are supplied as powders in capsules or tablets. They 
are not absorbed in this form, and instead need to be dissolved in oil. Therefore,  before or during ingestion mix the powder or crushed tablet 
with some oil and lecithin for better absorption. Even better, mix all fat -
soluble nutrients with coconut oil. Other Vitamins  
You may take a multivitamin tablet or B vitamin complex as health 
insurance. For some problems it is beneficial temporarily to take much 
higher doses of specific vitamins as indicated below. Always start with 
low doses and increase gradually. Vitamin B1  or thiamine is e ssential for the carbohydrate metabolism, 
deficiency may show up as dementia, depression, dermatitis, fatigue, 
irritability, and problems with the digestion, heart and nervous systems; 
weak calf muscles make it difficult ri sing up from a squatting position . With suspected deficiency take several hundred mg. It may need 
hydrochloric acid supplement for absorption. Vitamin B2  or Riboflavin is indicated with inflammations of the eyes (pink 
eye) or when red capillaries are visible in the sclera, the white part of the 
eye, try 100mg; it also helps with oxidative energy production and 
migraines. 36 
 Vitamin B3 or Niacinamide in high doses can greatly increase energy 
levels, and is especially good with muscle weakness, cold hands and 
feet, and brain problems such as brain fog, dementia, depression, 
schizophrenia and anxiety; try 2 or 3 x 250 to 500mg with food. Niacin  is the acid, flushing form of vitamin B3; 50 to 250mg may be taken 
on an empty stomach to flush the skin for rejuvenation and clean out 
capillaries in the skin. Sensitive individuals may start with 25mg after 
meals. Always start with a low dose and increase gradually. After taking 
it for a while you need to increase the dose or interrupt flushing for a 
week or two. It also lowers elevated blood fat le vels. Vitamin B5,  Pantothenic acid or calcium pantothenate is very beneficial 
with weak adrenal glands and low blood pressure, especially during 
periods of stress; try 250 to 500mg 2 or 3x daily. Vitamin B6  or Pyridoxine  is especially important for the protein 
metabolism and problems with the hands, the nervous system, and 
emotional conditions such as depression and anxiety problems. Deficiency also shows as poor dream recall and is commonly caused by 
pyroluria. Several hu ndred mg may help but pyridoxal -5-phosphate (the 
activated form) usually gives better results. Vitamin B12 or cobalamine  is not well absorbed and often deficient. This 
causes lack of energy and possibly anaemia and nerve problems. For 
better absorption kee p a crushed tablet under the tongue. However, 
vitamin B12 needs to be converted into the two active forms 
methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. This may not be possible with 
weak liver functions and then causes a wide range of symptoms – 
neurological, psychiatric, hematological, vascular and gastro -intestinal. See a list of symptoms at: www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin -b12-
deficiency -symptoms  
Vitamin C,  ascorbic acid or ascorbate in large ,  divided doses is not only  
helpful in emergencies such as acute infections, burns or poisoning but 
also to provide more energy, and for healthy blood circulation and 
connective tissue, see Alternative Oxygen Supply fur ther down. 37 
 Antioxidants  also protect against cross -linking damage. Generally,  use 
a wide range of antioxidant supplements and foods. Try 4 to 10mg of the 
oil-soluble astaxanthin  a day, it is one of the strongest antioxidants and 
especially good for the br ain and skin. Alpha lipoic acid  is another strong antioxidant that protects oil soluble  
as well as water -soluble biochemicals. It also chelates toxic metals. For 
health improvement use  up to several hundred milligrams daily in divided 
doses but start with low doses because it chelates mercury and can 
cause temporary reactions. Minerals  
Most important are usually boron, chromium, copper, iodine, 
magnesium, selenium, sulphur and zinc. A fair supplemental amount of 
selenium is 100mcg, and of zinc 30mg per day. Boron  is essential for the parathyroid to regulate calcium and 
magnesium, and so prevent or treat arthritis and osteoporosis. Try about 
10mg/day as 100mg borax, see Chapter 5 or The Borax Conspiracy . Calcium:  There is usually enough calcium in the diet, deficiency comes 
from malabsorption and low stomach acid due  to Candida, and from 
deficiencies of boron, magnesium and vitamin s D3 and K2 . However, to protect and repair your teeth frequently rinse your mouth 
with lime water (calcium hydroxide) e specially after acidic meals or 
drinks . On teeth it can then react with phosphates in saliva to form 
calcium phosphates and gradually fill small holes. Chromium  as Cr(3) is important for reg ulating the blood glucose le vel, 
and generally  the carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Copper  is necessary for many enzymes, especially for the metabolism 
of iron and formation of red blood cells, connective tissue, elastic blood 
vessels, pigmentation of skin and hair, and nerve functions. It is strongly 
anti-inflammatory, and copper blood level i s high during infections and 
cancer, most effective is copper salicylate , best absorbed through the 
skin. Copper salicylate, is a powerful anti -inflammatory remedy and 
fungicide, see:  Copper and Zinc Salicylates . 38 
 Iodine  helps to protect the mucous membranes from invading  fungi. The 
listed values of iodine in food, including kelp and seaweed, are actually 
for iodide, there is no iodine in these. Individuals with liver and oxidation 
problems have difficulties oxidising iodide to iodine and often are 
severely deficient. The solution is to take several drops of Lugols daily, 
supplying 6.5mg per drop. This helps  to protect not only from fungi but 
also from the development of cysts and cancer in bowels, breasts, 
ovaries, prostate and uterus. Furthermore, iodine is essential to activate tissue regeneration. Instead 
of Lugols you may use the weaker Iosol, or in the US Iodoral tablets. Iodine can cause a strong reaction with individuals on stimulating 
medications for thyroid or heart, or when on steroids, or with overactive 
thyroids. In these cases,  it is essential to start with very low doses, e.g. one-tenth of a drop and increase only very slowly. A better way is to rub one or several diluted drops of Lugols, possibly 
with additional DMSO, on th e thyroid. This is likely to be more effective 
while causing fewer side effects, especially for those with overactive 
thyroids. Topical applications are also more effective with other 
problems, such as cysts or breast cancer and cancer in general, 
problems  with the ovaries, prostate, testicles, pancreas, and other 
organs. Also see Iodine . Magnesium  is needed by many enzymes, and to relax muscles. It is 
especially good with arthritis and cramps. Use about 300 to 600mg daily 
mixed with food. I prefer it as magnesium chloride. Hydrated magnesium 
chloride contains about 120mg of magnesium per gram or 60 0mg per 
rounded teaspoon. For convenience you may fill a jar halfway with 
magnesium chloride and then to the top with water. Use h alf to one 
teaspoon of this solution, sprinkled over food or with a drink, to provide 
about 100 to 200mg of magnesium. It is n ot advisable to take high 
amounts orally because the kidneys need to keep the blood level 
constant and immediately excrete larger amounts. Muscles, including the 
heart, need a defined ratio between Calcium and Magnesium to contract 
and relax. Presently mos t individuals are deficient in magnesium but 39 
 need to obtain it mainly by transdermal application. Also see Magnesium 
Chloride . Molybdenum  (about 500mcg) may help if foods or supplements 
containing sulphur seem to cause problems. It activates an enz yme that 
oxidises sulphur compounds to sulphates. Selenium  is most important with cancer , heart problems  for thyroid 
functions, and all infections, chronic or acute. Temporarily take up to 
400mcg/day, normally about 100mcg. The natural and most 
recommended form, as in Brazil nuts, is L-Selenomethionine in which the 
amino acid methionine has selenium instead of sulphur. Do not use 
selenium -methionine chelate or selenite instead. Brazil nuts may contain 
60 to 100mcg per nut, but this varies greatly, and it may also be much 
less or much more. Sulphu r is essential for connective tissue and detoxifying the liver. It is 
available from egg yolk, garlic, onion and the cabbage family. Sulphur 
helps with arthritis and muscular pain, reduces inflammation and muscle 
spasms, promotes blood flow, and softens hardened tissues and cell 
walls, making them more elastic. The main supplements are DMSO and 
MSM  (methylsulfonylmethane). MSM is often combined with 
glucosamine for arthritis, try 10g daily, orally and as solution rubbed into 
the skin. DMSO is closely related to MSM and ex cellent to carry remedies 
through the skin, outstanding for relief of pain and arthritis. It is the super -
remedy. Also see Alternative Oxygen Supply further down in this chapter, 
and for more information  see: MSM as a Versatile Healer . Zinc is essential  for numerous enzyme reactions but just like vitamin B6 
it is often lost in the urine in case of pyroluria. The resulting deficiency 
causes fatigue/lack of energy, weak connective tissue, a weak immune 
system, and mental -emotional problems. Normally 15 to 30mg are 
sufficient but with the mentioned symptoms up to 60mg may be used, 
especially when under stress or with Candida flare -ups. Herbs  
Herbs provide a wide variety of helpful r emedies, including cayenne for 40 
 blood circulation, digestion and metabolism; g inseng for vitality; grape 
seed extract as a strong antioxidant and to strengthen capillaries, and 
milk thistle to improve liver functions. Maca  assists in normalizing our hormonal systems, especially thyroid 
function and sex hormones, and it may also im prove energy. Try up to 2 
teaspoons of the powder or a corresponding amount of extract. Turmeric  (main active ingredient curcumin) is the yellow spice in curry. It is a strong antioxidant and anti -inflammatory remedy, valuable for 
improving liver functions and most diseases. Take up to several grams a 
day mixed with meals, or in capsules, or a teaspoo nful in a drink. Curcumin is oil -soluble , best make a paste of turmeric mixed with 
coconut or olive oil. For better absorption add freshly ground black 
pepper . See  the Internet for recipes. Glucosamine , best as N -acetyl glucosamine, is required by all cel ls to 
build cartilage, holding individual cells together. It is formed in the body 
from L -glutamine and glucose. Glutamine also helps to heal Leaky Gut 
Syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Try 1 teaspoon of  
L-glutamine and possibly N -acetyl glucosamin e with or before meals. Trimethylglycine  or Betaine, commonly extracted from sugar beets, 
supplies methyl groups essential for many biochemical reactions. It is a 
stimulant and antidepressant, enhances brain chemicals, reduces 
atherosclerosis, and improve s energy levels, liver function and fat 
metabolism. A common dosage is 500 to 1000mg/day. It is especially 
high in quinoa, spinach and beets. It can also be produced from choline 
which is present in lecithin. Lanolin  is excellent for the skin and supplies precursors for the 
production of steroid hormones. With this lanolin can be genuinely 
rejuvenating. Buy pure lanolin and mix it with an equal part of virgin 
coconut oil for easier spreading. Spread very thinly. When buying 
anhydrous lanolin also add an equal amount of water. 41 
 Alternative Oxygen Supply  
Our main oxygen distribution is with the haemoglobin in red blood cells. However, oxygen is released into cells only when carbon dioxide is 
present from aerobic muscle or  brain activity. With cancer cells and 
invasion by Candida and other myco -microbes the metabolism is 
anaerobic in many tissues. Anaerobic cells do not produce carbon 
dioxide, and therefore do not get oxygen from the normal blood 
circulation. This makes it highly beneficial with all low -energy conditions 
to supply additional oxygen without the need for carbon dioxide to be 
present. Best suited for this are vitamin C and MSM. These form reduction -
oxidation or redox pairs. One such pair is vitamin C (ascorbic acid or 
ascorbate) as the reduced form and dehydroascorbic acid or DHA as the 
oxidized form. Another one is DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) as the reduced 
form and MSM as the oxidized one. In a low -oxygen environment a redox pair changes from their oxidized 
state to their reduced form by giving off one atom of highly reactive 
oxygen. When vitamin C or DMSO return to the blood and flow through 
the lungs they are again oxidized. This is how v itamin C normally gets into the brain and body cells. It 
cannot pass the blood -brain barrier in its reduced form, but only as DHA. It also cannot enter cells directly; it only gets inside cells as DHA or, 
alternatively, it needs a glucose carrier to get in side. Even plant cells 
admit only DHA, and it is also much better absorbed from the intestines 
than reduced vitamin C. While vitamin C can get into the brain only as 
DHA, inside the brain it is only present in its reduced form, showing that 
DHA is importan t to supplement the oxygen supply of the brain and 
keeping it free of microbes and toxins. All this shows that initially the body treasures the oxygen -delivering form 
more highly than the reduced form. Inside a cell DHA is reduced by 
liberating oxygen. Th e released oxygen is highly reactive. Inside 
compromised cells it kills the microbes that caused this blockage, and 42 
 then re -starts the blocked oxidative energy metabolism while the now 
reduced form protects sensitive cell structures from becoming oxidised. While vitamin C is known to be a good treatment for viral infections, 
recent research has shown that it is actually DHA that is the effective 
remedy, up to one thousand times stronger than the reduced form of vitamin 
C. However, DHA is unstable and too reactive to take as a supplement. Individuals with iron overload, mainly with haemochromatosis and the 
elderly may be reluctant to use vitamin C because of medical advice that 
it may increase iron absorption, but this applies only to low doses of 
vitamin C. Iron overload is a problem of the redox balance with too much 
iron in the oxidised ferro -form. This can easily be cured with 10 grams of 
spaced -out ascorbate/day, see : Natural Therapy for Haemochromatosis . Vitamin C and MSM are best used together, e.g., up to 10 grams sodium 
ascorbate or buffered vitamin C, 10 grams of MSM, and 2 to 3 teaspoons 
of 50 to 70% DMSO rubbed on the skin over any problem areas, all of 
these spread out during the day. Increase amounts only gradually to 
minimize diarrhoea or reactions, cut back if problem s arise. Use the 
maximum dose periodically for chronic or serious conditions, as a 
maintenance dose use much less. You may mix the powders with drink or food or  dissolve them in a litre of 
water or juice, and frequently sip during the day. If you need additional 
alkalizers, then you may also mix sodium bicarbonate with the same 
drink. In this case sip it before and between meals. In addition to a vitamin B complex, use about 500mg of niacinamide with 
breakfast and lunch because it is needed as the main coenzyme for 
redox reactions, it is also anti -inflammatory. Use alternative oxygen with 
all low energy conditions, Candia problems, cancer, arthritis, circulation 
problems, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and Candida -
caused mental conditions such  as depression, ADHD, schizophrenia etc. Vitamin C and MSM can prevent and cure blood circulation problems  
such as arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, 
prevent heart attacks and strokes, and also peripheral vascular disease 43 
 leading  to varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, leg ulcers , diabet ic foot, 
and poor blood supply to the brain. Many conditions such as arthritis, 
degenerative eye changes, migraines, and multiple sclerosis are 
aggravated by poor circulation. Deficiency of vitam in C, sulphur, copper and zinc are main causes of 
weak and aging connective tissue, such as blood vessels, skin and also 
hair. For details see More Ene rgy & Less Disease . ALLERGY TESTING  
It is common to become addicted to any daily -used food or substance to 
which we are also allergic. Initially when we eat allergenic food,  we 
experience stimulation due to the release of adrenal stress hormones. This stimulation (adrenalin and dopamine) cau ses us to constantly crave 
these foods to which we soon become unsuspectingly addicted. However, eventually the adrenal glands become exhausted,  and we 
develop a chronic degenerative disease and lack of energy. The main underlying cause of allergies and especially of multiple 
allergies is intestinal dysbiosis, commonly due to the fungal form of 
Candida as a result of using antibiotics without taking protective 
fungicides at the same time. This damages the intestinal wall and lets 
toxic subst ances and only partly digested proteins enter the bloodstream. It is then called "Leaky Gut Syndrome" and is made worse by gluten. It 
is a root cause not only of allergies, but also of a continua l attack on our 
immune system. Some symptoms frequently due to Candida are gas, migraines, bloating, 
cramps, diarrhoea, skin rashes, hives and other rashes, blurred vision, 
rhinitis and difficulty breathing. In many cases these problems may 
simply disappear after Intestinal Sanitation and Antimicrobial Therapy . Discovering your allergies and addictions is an important step in your  
healing process. You may do this by adopting a five -day low -allergy diet 
as described in the following. After complete avoidance of an allergenic food and while reducing the 44 
 overall aller genic load from other influences at the same time, one 
usually becomes hypersensitive to that food for a period lasting from a 
few weeks to several months. After this, the sensitivity to the offending 
food gradually declines. If during the hypersensitive period you are occasionally exposed to the 
allergenic food, then an immediate strong reaction may be triggered 
resulting in pain, weakness, a rash or whatever its characteristic effect is 
on your body. If this is done repeatedly but separated by at least f our 
days between exposures, this may delay the complete recovery but is 
not likely to result in serious internal damage. However, if you use this 
food again daily then after a while you do not get any more reaction,  but 
a chronic condition may gradually dev elop. Generally , it is essential to avoid the offending food as much as possible 
for an extended period in order to heal yourself completely. Depending 
on the severity of your initial symptoms or degenerative disease this may 
be from a few months up to sev eral years. Elimination Testing  
For five days or longer you abstain from all commonly eaten food. Best 
to combine elimination testing with a cleanse as recommended in 
chapter 6. Otherwise,  you may just eat low -allergy foods such as cooked 
vegetables and preferably varieties that you have not recently eaten. Flavour with olive oil and salt. During this time, try to minimize other 
potential allergic influences such as solvents, or car exhaust fumes, 
house dust, moulds, gas, or cigarette smoke , basically anything with 
strong or unusual smells. Starting on the second day there may be more or less troublesome 
withdrawal symptoms with cravings for the food or stimulant to which one 
is addicted, be it alcohol, nicotine or other drugs. There may be headaches, dizziness, weakness and other problems. On the fourth day these symptoms usually subside,  and one begins to 
feel much better. Often symptoms of long -standing ailments such as 45 
 arthritis, heart disease or schizophrenia may disappear o r improve as 
well. If you do not feel right by the fifth day, it may be better to extend the fast 
until you improve. Chemicals and drugs, whether medical or recreational, 
take much longer to clear from the body. It may lessen discomfort if you 
take a stron g laxative on the first morning of the fast. In addition,  drink a 
lot of water or diluted herb tea. After the Cleanse or on the morning of day six, have a small amount of 
test food. Check your pulse for a full minute before, and 30 and 60 
minutes after th e meal. Always test sitting in the same position, and when 
the pulse rate is not increased from any previous activity. Then have several smaller test meals of different foods during the day. In the beginning, test mainly foods that you expect to be safe. Test 
suspected allergenic foods at the last meal of the day so that you can 
sleep off any prolonged reactions. Use suspect foods only individually or 
with previously tested non -reactive foods. Before and after each test 
meal make the pulse tests and any ot her relevant tests. If the pulse rate 
increases by more than 10% after the meal, then this indicates a potential 
allergy. The greater the increase - the stronger the allergy. If there is a 
reaction involving a combination of newly tested foods, repeat test ing the 
individual foods at a later date . In addition,  make other tests relevant to your condition. W ith weak 
eyesight check your reading ability using a wall chart; school children 
may be tested for clarity of writing and speech. Check the range and pain 
level of impaired joints or muscles and  watch out for sign of bodily or 
emotional discomfort. Keep a  detailed diary of the pulse rates, 
measurements and any unusual happenings, feelings, discomfort and so 
on. Usually,  urine and saliva become more acid after a reaction. You may 
stop a strong reaction by taking 1 level teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate 
(bakin g soda) and, if available, potassium as citrate, carbonate or  
bicarbonate. Test offending foods again after three to six months. 46 
 Commonly small infrequent amounts are then tolerated. Eat suspect or 
problem foods not more than once a week. If conditions det eriorate 
again, test again or adopt a safe low -allergy diet. The body is less 
sensitive to allergic reactions when using alkalizers and digestive 
enzymes. THE ACID - ALKALINE BALANCE  
Our blood is slightly alkaline, and the body makes every effort to maintain 
this alkalinity at a constant level. For this purpose,  we normally have an 
ample reserve of alkaline minerals. Most of our food supplies minerals. The total balance of minerals in a 
particular food may be either acid or alkaline. In plants strongly alkaline 
metal ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, are 
combined with weak organic acids. A surplus of organic acids will make 
the food taste acidic, as in f ruits. However, in the body organic acids are 
metabolized, and this leaves an alkaline mineral residue. This makes 
vegetables and fruits alkalizing, but individuals who are overacid 
because of Candida and allergies often cannot oxidize all organic acids 
and need to neutralize acidic food to avoid becoming even more acidic. Animal tissue, on the other hand, contains a high percentage of strongly 
acid phosphoric acid bound to mildly alkaline proteins. The proteins will 
be metabolized,  and a strongly acid resi due remains. Accordingly, we 
may classify our food as either alkaline -forming or as acid -forming. • Alkaline -forming Foods  are sprouted seeds, vegetables and their 
 juices, fruits, almonds, most legumes, the outer parts of 
 potatoes, bananas, millet, buckwhe at and brown rice. • Acid -forming Foods  are meat, fish, eggs, cheese, most grains 
 and nuts (being high in phosphoric acid), and the core of potatoes. • Neutral Foods are refined starches and sugar, fats and oils. In order to maintain an ample alkaline body reserve, we may eat about 
80% alkalizing to 20% acidifying food. There are food tables to show the 
acid or alkaline equivalents. However, these are practically useless as 47 
 some foods change their values in the bod y due to metabolic problems. Sugar, which is chemically neutral  and even alkalizing fruits, can become 
acid-forming in sensitive individuals due to the formation of lactic acid. The same applies to any food to which you are allergic. On the other 
hand, he avy meat eating can eventually lead to an over -alkaline 
condition by slowing the metabolism and creating a deficiency of 
metabolic acids. Alkaline -forming food may also become acid -forming if it is incorrectly 
combined with other foods, or when you are emotionally upset. While 
seeds are commonly alkalizing if sprouted or fermented, when cooked, 
minerals may not be available as they remain bo und to phytates, and 
then may be acid -forming. All of this is contrary to what you would expect 
by using acid -alkaline food tables. Furthermore, the mineral content of 
foods varies greatly depending on soil and storage conditions, production 
methods and co oking. Therefore, the only reliable method is to observe 
your body, skin sensitivity, tendency towards inflammations, allergic 
reactions, and test the acidity of your urine and saliva. Alkalizing the Body  
When our body is too acid it is also more sensitive  - emotionally as well 
as physically. Skin and mucous membranes become very sensitive to 
irritants, any allergic reactions are greatly intensified, and inflammations 
may be intense and widespread. With Candida and leaky gut syndrome 
the body generally is t oo acid. The strongest alkalizing foods are spirulina, barley grass and wheatgrass 
powder, fresh green vegetable juices and vegetable broth. Those who are 
overacid and sensitive may become even more so with cider vinegar, kefir 
and fruit acids. However, dissolving dolomite or magnesium oxide in 
vinegar or lemon juice until nearly neutral makes it a highly alkalizing 
remedy. Sodium  bicarbonate is most com monly used to alkalize the body . On the other hand,  for those with raised blood pressure, high blood fat 
or cholesterol levels and insensitive skin, acid fruits and their juices are 
excellent without neutralization. In this case  potassium bicarbonate  may 48 
 be used to alkalize . With muscle weakness try malic acid neutralized with 
magnesium oxide or carbonate. Take so much alkalizer that your urine is mostly above pH 7 or slightly 
alkaline (pH 7 is neutral). To check your urine,  you may buy pH paper 
with a range from 4 or 5 to 8 or 9 or you may use turmeric powder: 
dissolve a teaspoonful in half a litre of methylated spirits (methanol), 
shake and allow to settle, producing a yellow solution. For a test pour 
some of this solution into a test tube or small drinking glass. Add a few 
drops of urine or saliva. If it turns ruby red, then what was added had a 
pH greater than 6.8 (neutral or alkaline). If it stays yellow, then the pH is 
less than 6.8 (acid). With digestive problems also c heck the saliva acidity. Before a meal 
the normal acidity of the saliva is 6.4 - 6.7, while 30 - 60 minutes after 
the meal it should be above 6.8. If the level is below 6.4 before the meal 
the body may be too acid, and if it remains below 6.8 after the mea l then 
the stomach may not produce enough acid. Be aware that allergic 
reactions make the saliva too acid. With advanced cancer pH tests are not reliable as large tumours produce 
much lactic acid and make body fluids very acidic, but they may also lose 
much potassium which can make the urine very alkaline. Therefore,  with 
large and growing tumours just use up to 3 spaced -out rounded 
teaspoons of bicarbonate for up to  one week before reducing again to 2 
tsp of bicarbon ate. Periodically strongly alkalizing i s also beneficial for other health problems 
such as intestinal Candida overgrowth, inflammatory bowel conditions, 
allergies, and autoimmune diseases. Take alkalizers at least ½ hour 
before meals . Also see Chapter 5. *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

 Chapter Four  
INTESTINAL SANITATION  
Clean Out & Sanitize Your Gastro -Intestinal Tract  
 
 
Diseases tend to start in the bowels and that is where holistic healing 
should start as well. It is not possible to become healthy when we are 
constipated,  and our intestines are full of putrefying wastes and 
overgrown with harmful microbes. This environmen t allows toxins to be 
re-absorbed into the blood, and pathogenic microbes to demolish our 
immune system and invade various parts of the body. To sanitize our digestive tract,  we need first to clean out the bowels and 
remove years of accumulated wastes sta gnating in bowel pockets and  
covering the intestinal walls with hard crusts. Such cleansing kills most 
of the harmful microbes and allows the gastro -intestinal tract to be 
repopulated with probiotic bacteria. Finally,  we avoid being constipated 
ever again . BOWEL CLEANSING  
Commonly used methods to clean out accumulated wastes are colonics, 
flushes and laxative foods. To remove hard crusts that may coat the 
bowel walls and clean out bowel pockets, the bowels should repeatedly 
be flushed out with water. You may start experimenting with flushes 
before trying colonics, and for maintenance use suitable laxative food. With colonics, short for "colonic irrigations", the bowels or large intestines 
are filled with a larger amount of water, commonly introduced furth er 
inside, while with enemas only a small amount of water is inserted near 
the entrance. Enemas are used to induce bowel movements but do not 
clean the bowel. Flushes: A large glass of water with a tablespoon of Epsom salts 
(magnesium sulphate), magnesium chloride, or Glaubers  salts (sodium  50 
 sulphate) on an empty stomach is usually sufficient to flush out the 
intestinal tract. Drink more water afterwards. If underweight, use 
somewhat less and if overweight, somewhat more. To make it taste not 
so bitter you may keep it refrigerated overnight. Less strong, and only suitable if one is not constipated, is an isotonic 
flush : dissolve 9 grams or a heaped teaspoon of salt in one litre of warm 
water. Drink within 5 - 10 minutes on an empty stomach. Use no 
additional liquid afterwards. As alternatives to a saline flush,  you may 
also use castor oil, aloe vera or senna. Flushes may also be alternated 
with colonics. Colonics  
Colonics are most helpful for individuals who are or have been 
constipated or overweight or with a chronic disease. Here is how it wo rks. Start with having a bowel movement. To administer a colonic, add  
1 heaped teaspoon of salt and 1 level teaspoon of baking soda to 2 -3 
litres of moderately warm water. Use a bucket enema or enema bag. To 
avoid mess,  you may do this in a shower recess or bathtub. Hang the 
enema bucket about two to three feet above the bod y on a hook or 
convenient place on the wall. A good position is to kneel on the floor with 
the head down and rectum elevated. Or if bedridden you may lie in bed 
in a similar position or on the right side; use a plastic sheet underneath. Lubricate the recta l tube and insert it slowly up to a depth of about 20 – 
30 cm. If there is any pain or discomfort, do not insert any further. Expel 
the first lot of water when increasing pressure is felt. After that, you 
should be able to hold much more water. When renewe d pressure is felt, 
stop the inflow of water and assume different positions, especially lying 
on the right side for a while to fill the ascending colon. Repeat the 
expulsion and intake of water until all of it has been used. The addition of baking soda neu tralizes over -acid bowel conditions while the 
salt acts as a drawing agent and prevents demineralization of the blood. 51 
 This is important for people with low blood pressure and a poor  
circulation. With high blood pressure or weak kidneys add very diluted 
lemon juice instead. If unable to do this at home, you may have a series 
of colonics at a hydrotherapy centre. Laxative Food: Aim to have three easy bowel movements daily. Use 
laxative food as required, such as fresh fruit and raw vegetables, 
fermented food, ground linseed, prunes, aloe vera gel, psyllium hulls, or 
drink a larger amount of water within a short period. Our bowel b acteria 
need the right amount of food, mainly soluble fibre from legumes, 
fresh vegetables and fruit, to  produce low -level fermentation. Too little 
is constipating, too much causes diarrhoea. Highly recommended are ground linseed or chia seeds added to me als, 
and also psyllium hulls : stir a teaspoonful in a large glass of water and 
drink immediately about 30 minutes before a meal, one to three times 
daily. Drink more water afterwards. Use linseed freshly ground in a 
blender or coffee grinder, and store frozen or refrigerated. Squattin g: Ordinary toilets encourage a sitting rather than a squatting 
position. This is not conducive to complete emptying of the lower bowels 
and a cause of various health problems. A squatting position is preferable 
to keep your bowels healthy. To imitate this  at home support your feet 
with a footstool and bend forward to exert more pressure on the bowels. Hydrochloric Acid  
As a result of Candida overgrowth,  the body may lose its ability to produce 
an adequate amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This i s especially 
noticeable in the elderly, with chronic degenerative diseases, and even 
young asthmatics. This leads to incomplete digestion of proteins, and 
poor absorption of vitamins B1 and B12 as well as minerals. Another 
frequent outcome is gastric reflu x and possibly hiatus hernia. The resulting mineral deficiency usually causes fingernails to be soft; 
also,  the hair may be unhealthy. Hydrochloric acid is also needed to 
activate pepsin and kill microbes in food. A lack of hydrochloric acid is 
associated with overgrowth of the digestive tract with harmful parasites 52 
 and microbes, malabsorption, intestinal distress, allergies, and a weak 
immune system. Related symptoms are b elching, bloating, anaemia, 
discomfort after eating, or food lying heavily in the stomach. As a digestive aid you may drink diluted lemon juice or diluted cider 
vinegar with up to half a level teaspoon of magnesium chloride during 
cooked meals, especially  protein meals. Magnesium chloride reacts with 
organic acids to form magnesium citrate or acetate and hydrochloric 
acid. You may also use with protein meals hydrochloric acid -pepsin tablets or 
betaine -hydrochloric acid. Take these items mid-meal, as they may leave 
the stomach undissolved if taken before or at the beginning of the meal. More cheaply, diluted hydrochloric aci d may be used. To make a safe 
2% solution mix 1 part of 20% acid with 9 parts, or 1 part of concentrated 
35% acid ( e.g., from a hardware store) with 16 parts of water. You may 
then dilute 1 -2 (plastic) teaspoons of 2% acid with ½ cup of liquid and 
drink it mid-meal. You may protect your teeth by drinking through a straw 
and rinsing thoroughly afterwards. However, habitually taking hydrochloric acid makes the body overacid, 
and not enough sodium bicarbonate is available to neutralize the acid in 
the duodenum. While the stomach content needs to be acid, the small 
intestine needs to be alkaline otherwise nutrients are not properly 
absorbed. Therefore, when using hydrochloric acid with a meal, take also 
half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in liquid 2 to 3 hours  after a small 
meal, and 3 to 4 hours after a large meal with flesh food or other proteins. Bitter herb tea before or after meals can stimulate digestive juices, and 
a teaspoon of slippery elm powder in warm water before meals can ease 
discomfort due to g astro -intestinal inflammations. Warning:  Candida overgrowth may also cause overproduction of gastric 
acid, causing gastric or duodenal ulcers and inflammation of the 
intestinal wall. Therefore, observe and experiment to find out if you have 
too much or too little gastric acid. 53 
 MICROBIAL SANITA TION  
Microbial sanitation or restoring a healthy gastro -intestinal flora is the 
next important step. Without this most of our incurable diseases will 
indeed remain incurable due to the Leaky Gut Syndrome which wears 
down the immune system and lets Candida,  mycoplasmas and other 
microbes invade the blood and various organs. Microbial sanitation consists of a combination of antimicrobial and 
especially antifungal remedies, diet, as well as probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are cultures of suitable live m icrobes to repopulate the 
intestines, while prebiotics are the food on which these beneficial 
microbes grow best. First you prepare for intestinal sanitation by improving your diet as 
outlined in the previous chapters. Then you start with the psyllium -garlic 
cleanse but if you find that you cannot tolerate garlic or cannot use it for 
social reasons then try hydrogen p eroxide or experiment with other 
microbicides to find a suitable replacement. Very good are turmeric paste 
and ginger. Preferably use also psyllium and bicarbonate for one to two 
weeks before starting the systemic antimicrobial therapy. When taking high d oses of antimicrobials as recommended in Chapter 5  
you may stop or cut back using garlic or hydrogen peroxide but use them 
again if gastro -intestinal problems resurface at a later time. An additional 
or alternative method of removing microbial overgrowth f rom the gastro -
intestinal tract is with high -dose alkalizing as outlined in Chapter 3 for 
advanced cancer. The Garlic Cleanse  
Fresh, raw garlic has powerful antimicrobial and especially fungicidal 
properties . Even in a dilution of more than 1:1000 it sti ll kills bacteria and 
fungi. When garlic is crushed its enzymes form allicin from the stable 
alliin. Allicin has an active oxygen atom that kills microbes by oxidizing 
the cell walls. Lactobacilli also tend to kill other microbes with oxygen 
(from hydrogen  peroxide), and therefore are less susceptible to garlic 
than Candida. 54 
 To minimize unpleasant reactions, such as headaches, nausea and 
other gastro -intestinal discomfort it is preferable (but not essential) 
initially to take the garlic together with a flush before breakfast. Crush or 
chop a  large clove of garlic, mix and drin k it with some  water, and 
immediately follow this with the refrigerated Epsom salt or magnesium 
chloride flush and  more water. During the following mornings you may use less of the laxative salts or 
take a milder laxative instead. Do this for a minimum o f three days, and 
in advanced conditions preferably for one to two weeks before starting 
with the systemic antimicrobial therapy. With bowel problems it can be 
very helpful in addition to swallow a peeled clove of garlic whole at 
bedtime with some liquid. If you cannot take garlic in this way, and also for children, you may put 
the crushed or chopped garlic into gelatine capsules. If you cannot take 
garlic for other reasons then use chopped or grated ginger, or one of the 
other antimicrobial remedies mentioned in the next chapter; similar if you 
can use garlic only during the  weekend because of work or social 
conditions. Psyllium Hulls  
Psyllium is excellent  and most recommend for long -term use. When 
mixed with water psyllium hulls greatly expand to form a jelly. This can 
be used as a mild laxative to carry a microbicide through the whole of the 
intestinal tract, and it also binds toxic microbial compounds or  endotoxins 
and removes them from the body. This can help greatly to reduce 
allergies and autoimmune reactions. However, the effect of psyllium depends on the amount of water in which 
it is suspended. If too little water is used it becomes too concentrated  or 
sticky and is then constipating. This can be useful in case of diarrhoea, 
but for use as a laxative it needs to be taken with plenty of water. You may continue taking psyllium for most of the time that you are on an 
intensive antimicrobial program. If  you are not constipated and have 
already  several daily bowel movements then you may even start the 55 
 garlic cleanse with  psyllium instead of a flush with laxative salts. Dissolve a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in a large glass of water, add 
some chopped garlic, possibly some ground linseed, and finally a 
teaspoon of psyllium hulls. Stir and drink immediately, followed by some 
more water. When garlic cannot be used you m ay try a teaspoonful of 3% hydrogen 
peroxide mixed with the psyllium drink. If that goes well, double the 
amount of hydrogen peroxide the next day, and following that you may 
try three teaspoons. Alternatively,  you may add extract of olive leaf or 
pau d'ar co, wormwood, or several drops of gum turpentine or of oils of 
tea tree, neem tree, oregano or eucalyptus, or any other suitable 
fungicide. If you develop unpleasant symptoms, such as nausea, after taking the 
garlic or other microbicides, but the psyllium or a flush is not sufficient to 
produce a strong bowel movement within two to three hours then use an 
enema or another dose of a strong laxative. Should you ever need to take a course of antibiotics, chemotherapy or 
cortisone -type drugs then take a fungicide during this time as well, e.g. garlic or high -dose borax, or extract of olive leaf or hydrogen peroxide , 
and possibly use probiotics about half  an hour after taking the drugs. Fresh ginger also has antifungal and antibacterial properties and  is a 
good digestive aid. Cayenne is useful in addition. You may use both as 
additions to the psyllium drink, or to flavour foods and drinks. The most eff ective way of cleansing the intestines is the Basic Cleanse 
explained in Chapter 6. During the last 5 days the intestines are filled 
with soft psyllium that sticks to the intestinal walls, softens hardened 
crusts and biofilms in which microbes are hiding. When flushing it all out 
the biofilms will be flushed out as well, leaving the intestinal walls clean, 
and any remaining Candida and parasites unprotected against follow -up 
antimicrobial remedies. Instead of the whole Basic Cleanse you may just do the las t five days of 56 
 psyllium cleansing. This is an essential therapy for serious bowel 
problems such as cancer, Crohn's disease and inflammatory bowel 
diseases. Do this Intestinal Sanitation for a minimum of three days but preferably 
for one to two weeks before starting the systemic antimicrobial therapy. Continue taking psyllium with bicarbonate until you feel well again. Aloe Vera juice  
Aloe Vera juice, fresh or even dried , assists in the treatment of infectious 
diseases by helping to sanitise the gastr o-intestinal tract. It is excellent 
for gastro -intestinal irritation, inflammation, ulcers and Crohn’s Disease. If there is no improvement, try another brand. Take as much as you can 
tolerate without getting diarrhoea. If available, use it fresh from the 
garden. Avoid yellow leaves and yellow sap at the base of a leaf as this 
is a strong irritant and laxative. Hydrogen Peroxide  
Hydrogen peroxide is excellent for controlling intestinal dysbiosis as it is 
very effective against Candida and other fungi while less damaging to 
our good intestinal bacteria. A healthy immune system routinely 
produces hydrogen peroxide to kill microbes. If you continue having 
gastro -intestinal problems after using psyllium and garlic, or as an added 
insurance have a course of hydro gen peroxide. You may dilute 35% hydrogen peroxide or  buy 3% or 6% peroxide from 
a supermarket or pharmacy. Any stabilizers are usually harmless in the 
low concentrations present. Best dilute peroxide for daily use to about 
3% by adding 1 part of 35% peroxide to 10 parts of water. One teaspoon 
of 3% peroxide is equivalent to about 12 drops of 35% peroxide. Be 
careful handling 35% hydrogen peroxide, flush any accidental spills on 
clothes or skin immediately with water or immerse in water. Start taking just a few drops of 3% peroxide in a small glass of water. Gradually increase to 1 teaspoon or more four times daily before meals  
and at bedtime. If you have a reaction temporarily decrease again. 57 
 To disguise the strong aftertaste, lick some molass es beforehand to coat 
your tongue, swallow quickly and possibly have some coffee or 
cinnamon flavoured drink afterwards. You may continue this for a month or two and then reduce the intake to 
only once before breakfast. In addition, use hydrogen peroxide  to rinse  
your mouth, and gargle morning and evening. It helps with thrush and to 
prevent colds and other infections, and also tooth decay. With vaginal 
thrush douche twice daily with suitably diluted hydrogen peroxide, keep 
it inside for some time, and f ollow up by applying some probiotic. Probiotics  
This leads us to the next step: replacing the decimated pathogenic 
microbes with desirable lactobacilli. This is best done in a big dose 30 -
60 minutes after each flush; otherwise,  the unwanted microbes may just 
grow back to full strength after the next meal . Acidophilus culture is used to repopulate the freed -up spaces at the walls 
of the small intestines, while bifidobacteria are the protective inhabitants 
of the colon or large intestines. There are also other lactobacteria 
naturally residing in our intes tinal tract. These bacterial cultures are 
available from health food shops or the Internet and best refrigerated 
before and after sale . It is difficult to find a good culture. As a general rule look for a product 
that  
▪ has been grown on seeds and vegetabl es rather than on milk,  
▪ has a large variety of different bacterial strains, and…  
▪ has been produced and is used at temperatures from 3 6 to 40°C. However, dry cultures are dormant and inactive as compared to bacteria 
in fresh or live ferments. Therefore,  you may experiment with making 
your own ferment. Initially you may use dry cultures as starter or buy 
fresh ferments over the Internet. F or recipes  and supplies using kefir 
grains  see: users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html  or for grain and 58 
 vegetable ferments:  www.agmfoods.com . I do not recommend 
commercial yogurt to sanitize the intestinal tract. Caution:  Some individuals with Candida are highly sensitive to all 
fermented foods. Fermented liquids, such as Kefir or Kombucha, tend to be rather acidic 
and this can cause overacidity problem s in sensitive individuals. You can 
reduce this problem by partly neutralizing the acidity with sodium 
bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, magn esium oxide or dolomite 
powder. Prebiotics  
Prebiotics or the food that we provide for our intestinal flora is usually 
even more important than the relatively few probiotic bacteria that we can 
supply as supplements. These nutrients determine which microbial 
species will thrive and which ones will n ot do well. The easily digestible 
carbohydrates from sugar and grain products favour Candida and other 
yeasts but can also lead to overgrowth of various bacteria in the small 
intestines. The most suitable microbes for intestinal sanitation are on the skin s of 
fresh raw organic vegetables and berries, and these also provide the 
perfect nutrients for their microbes to keep growing in our intestinal tract. This is how we evolved. You may clean the leaves in water but do not 
add any microbicides. Best puree (w ith energised water) in a high -speed 
blender and also use fresh veggie salads. Commercially available soluble but indigestible fibre, called FOS or 
fructosoligo -saccharides , helps to stimulate the growth of beneficial 
intestinal bacteria. While preferable to simple carbohydrates for our 
intestinal flora, FOS can also be used by some pathogenic bacteria in 
the colon. Legumes  are high in a type of soluble fibre, raffinose, that is only broken 
down in the large intestines. It is an excellent food for bifidoba cteria. Raffinose  is also found in members of the cabbage family, asparagus 
and other vegetables. 59 
 As a side -effect , legumes tend to produce wind or flatulence which can 
be reduced by sprouting or soaking overnight and  replacing the water 
before cooking. T his also improves the absorption of minerals by 
reducing the amount of phytic acid in the seeds. Lentils and peas cause 
fewer problems than beans but  sprouted mung beans are also good. When soaking beans add a few drops of Saturated Solution of Potassium 
Iodide or SSKI to inactivate an enzyme inhibitor that causes increased 
wind. Inulin  is another supplement to feed bifidobacteria in the colon. It i s a 
fine white powder with a slightly sweet taste. The usual intake of inulin is 
from 5 to10 grams or 1 to 2 teaspoons once or twice daily. Increase 
gradually as it may cause loose bowels and increased wind or flatulence. This cannot be entirely avoided bu t experiment to keep it in acceptable 
limits. Also,  the amount of inulin needs to be adjusted according to the 
amount of legumes used which can create an additional gas problem. Inulin is widely distributed in vegetables, and especially their roots. The 
highest amounts are in Jerusalem artichokes, chicory roots, onions, 
leeks, artichokes and dandelion leaves. Very beneficial is resistant starch or RS. It feeds mainly the microbes 
in the colon, good for preventing or treating inflammatory bowel diseases 
and colon cancer. You get RS by adding a small raw potato (avoid any 
with green skins) when blending vegetables. To make isolated RS blend 
some peeled potatoes and refrigerate. After a short time,  the RS granules 
accumulate at the bottom and you can pour off t he liquid. 100g of raw 
potato provides a recommended daily amount of 25g RS. For a good article on RS see Resistant -Starch  at 
www.gestaltreality.com/2014/02/27/resistant -starch -a-concise -guide/  
Increased wind is a common drawback with all prebiotics. This can be 
minimized by only slowly increasing the amounts of prebiotics and  using 
psyllium before breakfast and possibly other m eals. Psyllium reduces 
wind by removing toxins and excess microbes. *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *  60 
 Chapter Five  
MICROBES & PARASITES  
Eliminate Harmful Microbes & Parasites  
 
 
All chronic diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases are 
associated with a proliferation of pathogenic microbes and parasites. Due to antibiotics, steroidal drugs, birth control pills and chemotherapy 
our natural intestinal bacteria have been ba dly damaged, and pathogenic 
microbes, especially fungi and mycoplasmas, are out of control. Also,  microbes from childhood vaccinations may still be present, and 
there tend to be infection foci in root -canal treated teeth and often in 
scars from surgery. A ll of these greatly weaken our immune system and 
allow pathogenic microbes to invade the blood and internal organs. Now 
we become susceptible to frequent infections and immune disturbances 
such as autoimmune diseases, allergies, diabetes, heart disease and  
cancer. This can only be reversed by keeping fungi and other microbes under 
control to give the immune system a chance to recover. Therefore, 
antimicrobial therapy is essential at the start of a holistic health program. But fungi are very tenacious and ha ve ways to stay in hiding as spores 
or protected by biofilms, and when we become careless or stressed, they 
may try again to invade the blood. This means we need to continue for a 
long time with a low -key antimicrobial maintenance program, and step it 
up periodically, or whenever we are under prolonged stress or notice any 
undesirable microbial activity. INFECTIONS AND IMMUNE SUPPORT  
Often casual viral or bacterial infections re -ignite conditions that were 
previously under control, such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases. Therefore, whenever there is an acute infection or a flare -up of a chronic 61 
 problem, it is advisable to take strong antimicrobial action immediately. Greatly increase the strength and variety of antimicrobial remedies, and 
in addition use any of the following measures that seem to be 
appropriate. Fever  is a great help in fighting infections by killing heat intolerant germs 
and strengthening the immune response. Keep it up with hot baths, hot 
teas and sweating. Very high temperatures may be reduced with cold 
packs around the calves, cool baths and blue li ght. If the fever is too 
concerning seek professional help. During an acute infectious disease 
use mainly a light diet with plenty of raw food as salads and juices. Viral infections:  in addition to general antimicrobial methods also use  a 
high intake of vitamin C , selenium and zinc. Take 5 x 2g of sodium 
ascorbate or buffered vitamin C, 3 x 15 - 20mg of zinc, 200mcg of 
selenium, up to 3 x 2g of L -lysine and up to 3 x 200mg of alpha -lipoic 
acid. With hepatitis also add silymarin/milk thistle. In life -threat ening 
situations try intra -venous vitamin C in addition to bowel tolerance 
vitamin C and high doses of CDH (see below under MMS). Bladder infections:  Take the simple sugar D -mannose, half to one 
teaspoon in water every 2 to 3 hours; this eliminates infecti ons based on 
E-coli within a few days. If it does not help then try 15 drops of a saturated 
solution of potassium iodide (SSKI) in a lot of fluids every 3 to 4 hours for 
up to several days or alternatively one very high dose of CDH. Recurrent 
bladder infec tions tend to be caused by mycoplasmas and fungi, often 
lodging inside the bladder wall. Non -acidified MMS is useful for this, also 
DMSO with added Lugol's solution applied over the bladder or 25% 
DMSO instilled into the bladder with a catheter. Candida   
The most common symptoms are thrush (oral or vaginal), itching and 
skin infections. As a cause of Leaky Gut Syndrome or when invading the 
blood,  it devastates the immune system, and causes or aggravates food 
allergies, autoimmune diseases, cancer,  schizophrenia, depression, 
anxiety, brain -fog, memory impairment, hyperactivity, autism, 62 
 menstrual problems, miscarriage, and most other diseases. Dr Shaw has shown that Candida generates organic acids and other 
chemicals that interfere with the metaboli sm: 
www.greatplainslaboratory.com/articles -1/2015/11/13/candida -and-
overgrowth -the-problem -bacteria -by-products?r q=Candida  
Acetaldehyde causes mainly the mentioned brain and mental problems, 
while tartaric acid causes muscle pain and chronic fatigue, and arabinose 
cross -linking and vitamin -mineral deficiencies (mainly vitamin B6 and 
zinc). For treatment see Overcoming Candida . All of the remedies in the Antimicrobial Program are also good fungicides. In addition,  fungi may also be controlled by direct contact with strong 
alkalizers, such as sodium or potassium bicarbonate. Bicarbonate 
solution is effective for rinsing the mouth, sinuses or vagina, or as packs 
over sites of fungal infection and tumours. Candida in the gastro -intestinal tract and blood can usually be cleared  
with intestinal sanitation followed by the antimicrobial program below. However, it may persist in areas with reduced blood supply, such as 
between toes and under nails, and also as vaginal thrush or causing 
endometriosis. In this case, fungicides need to  be applied directly to the 
problem area. Most effective for vaginal thrush are inserted capsules 
filled with borax. In long -standing and severe conditions Candida tends to protect itself 
with biofilms - like a mass of fungal strings covered in slimy or st icky 
mucus which cannot normally be penetrated by fungicides. This may be 
overcome by high doses of a strong fungicide such as 20 drops of Lugol's 
solution, CDH or non -acidified MMS, which may induce diarrhoea and 
vomiting of stringy mucus. Topical DMSO is best to eliminate Candida 
from inaccessible places, preferably add another fungicide, such as 
Lugol's solution. Frequently, especially with Candidiasis, there is a die -off or Herxheimer 
reaction during intestinal sanitation or systemic therapy. You may feel 63 
 weak and nauseous. In this case temporarily interrupt or reduce the 
intake of antimicrobials but  make special efforts to clean out your bowels. The Spit Test: At the start of your program do the Spit Test which shows 
if you have a fungus pro blem in the mouth. Immediately after rising 
before you eat or drink anything , fill a clear glass with water at room 
temperature. Spit some saliva into it. Then check for up to an hour what 
happens. If Candida is present, you will see any of these:  
1. Strings  like legs extending downwards from the saliva floating on top  
2. Cloudy saliva accumulating at the bottom of the glass  
3. Cloudy bits remaining suspended in the water. The quicker and stronger the strings grow and the sooner the saliva 
sinks, the more Candida i s in the sample. If there are no strings and the 
saliva is still floating after one hour the test is negative, Candida may still 
be present in other parts of the body. It may be eliminated from the mouth 
by swishing diluted Lugol's solution or CDH for seve ral minutes in the 
mouth. Urine therapy   
Urine is used in many cultures and  is especially effective against 
disorders of the immune system, including infections, allergies, 
autoimmune diseases and others. Urine contains antibodies and immune 
stimulating factors against all microbes in our body. To switch off an 
allergic reaction use urine collected during or after the reaction. Put a few 
drops of straight or diluted urine under the tongue and  keep it in the 
mouth for a few minutes. For the Universal Remedy  mix 2 drops of urine and 1 tablespoon of water 
in a small (dropper) bottle by shaking for ten seconds with a strong 
downwards movement. Whenever you feel sick put several drops under 
the tongue every 2 waking hours. Make a new remedy every week, 
usually no refrigeration required. Another meth od is to dilute a spoonful of morning urine with 5 to 10 times 
the amount of non -chlorinated water. Shake 20 to 40 times with a sharp 64 
 downward stroke.

NUTRITION - Part Two  
Use Supplements, Allergy Testing, and Alkalize the Body  
 
 
SUPPLEMENTS  
Presently nutritional supplements are promoted on a big scale because 
that is where the money is. But the health benefits are usually very limited 
because most people use supplements instead of focusing on basic 
health improvement. The proper place of supplements is in addition to a 
health improvement program, and th en focusing on essential nutrients 
instead of using a wide range of fancy products. Commonly supplements now provide many times the amounts of 
individual nutrients that might be available even from a good diet and, if 
the correct nutrients are supplied in such high doses, they can actually 
improve or normalize a health problem. The reason for this success can 
be understood as follows. Presently diets are low in various nutrients but high in factors that reduce 
their availability, such as seeds high in phyta tes and phytic acid ( e. g. , in 
cereals and bran) that prevent absorption of minerals, while microwave 
cooking, high heating and refining greatly reduce the amount of absorbed 
undamaged vitamins and other nutrients. Further, because of Candida -caused deficien cy of gastric acid and 
inflammation of the intestinal wall in addition to gluten sensitivity, many 
nutrients are poorly absorbed. These factors also cause Leaky Gut 
Syndrome, microbial infestation of the blood, chronic inflammations and 
allergies. This lea ds to hypercoagulation of the blood with blockage of 
blood vessels and tissue calcification. Therefore,  sensitive structures in the brain, eyes, glands and organs are 
no longer sufficiently supplied with blood, and the blood that they do 33 
 receive is low in  essential nutrients. So, it is no surprise that deficiencies  
are widespread. If we now increase the intake of a deficient nutrient ten -
fold with the help of a supplement, then we may double the blood level 
of this nutrient and get more of it to the nutrient -starved organs. However,  
supplements have the disadvantage that they are often synthetic and do 
not have bioenergy for proper absorption and use. They can help if really 
needed, but often they also are not properly excreted and produce toxic 
resid ues which the body may find difficult to excrete. An alternative strategy would be to use high -quality food prepared in a 
user-friendly way, heal the damage to the stomach and the intestinal wall 
by getting and keeping Candida under control, cleaning the blood of 
microbes, the blood vessels of obstruction s, and the tissue of 
calcifications. This corresponds to the Health Improvement Program. Until this becomes fully effective, high amounts of key nutrients may on 
balance still be beneficial. With this in mind, food supplements are most important for indi viduals 
with malabsorption, chronic diseases and those using microwave 
cooking, processed and refined food, or mostly non -organic produce. The following are some basic guidelines. To improve your diet preferably use concentrated health foods such as 
barley  or wheat grass powder, bee pollen, spirulina or chlorella, whey 
protein isolate, lecithin, krill oil and fish oils with added vitamin E. Preferably crush any vitamin or mineral tablets and mix them with meals 
or take your tablets or capsules near the mid dle of a meal. Some individuals and especially children cannot swallow capsules or 
tablets. An easy way is to place a tablet or capsule at the back of the 
tongue and then tilt the head back to look at the ceiling. The tablet or 
capsule will then automatica lly roll into the throat. Pyroluria  is a common metabolic condition in which pyrrol e, a key 
component of haemoglobin, is overproduced in the liver. The surplus 
binds to vitamin B6 and zinc and is excreted in the urine. This creates 
severe deficiencies in B 6 and zinc and some other nutrients, such as 34 
 niacinamide, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), and biotin. Depending on conditions, this may be a n underlying  cause of most 
chronic diseases, especially of  diabetes and mental -emotional 
condition s. Pyroluria can be inherited or acquired  due to intestinal 
dysbiosis with overgrowth of Candida, pleomorphic (shape -changing) 
microbes in the blood, and possibly Lyme disease, all affecting the liver. The resulting vitamin and mineral deficiencies may initially require a h igh 
intake of these vitamins, although biotin can be obtained from egg yolk, 
while gamma linolenic acid is highest in spirulina. With pyroluria the liver often cannot convert normal vitamin B6 or 
pyridoxine into the activated form Pyridoxal -5-Phosphate whi ch should 
then be supplemented. For d etails see: Pyroluria and Candida. Digestive enzymes  are beneficial for malabsorption, underweight, if 
elderly or in poor health, and may be taken with all cooked meals. Lipase 
(to digest fats) is especially good for diabetes, heart disease and 
overweight. Proteases (to digest proteins) such as bromelain and papain 
help with cooked meat. Fat-soluble nutrients  are frequently deficient due to malabsorption. Vitamins A and D may be  obtained from fish oils especially hali but liver 
oil and krill oil, which also supplies beneficial astaxanthin. Deep sea fish 
oil is good for providing omega -3 fatty acids but may not contain vitamins 
A and D. Try to obtain vitamin D 3 from sun exposure  or a capsule of 
5,000 IU/day. Vitamins A a nd D 3 are best taken in nearly equal amounts 
as they balance each other in their effect on bones. Vitamin E exists in 8 different forms as tocopherols and tocotrienols of 
which alpha tocopherol is the most common variety. While it is beneficial 
to get all forms of vitamin E from a good and varied diet or from 
supplements, to protect oils from becoming rancid in the bottle or in the 
body use mainly alpha tocopherol. Open vitamin E capsules and 
squeeze a suitable amount into any freshly opened bottle of oil, also rub 
on aging skin. Avoid synthetic d,l alpha tocopherols, natural vitamin E is 
d-alpha tocoph erol. Always add vitamin E to fish oils, linseed oil  and any 35 
 polyunsaturated oils. Lecithin (or choline), trimethylglycine and inositol  protect the liver from 
fatty degeneration. To improve the absorption of oils from capsules open 
them and mix with lecithin and food. Without emulsifying, oils may remain 
in a puddle on top of the stomach and not absorb properly. This also 
applies to other oil -soluble nutrients, such as coenzyme Q 10. The amino 
acid L -carnitine helps to improve energy by channelling fa tty acids into 
cells, even better is the related acetyl L -carnitine. Sometimes fat -soluble nutrients, such as vitamin E, lutein (a carotenoid), 
or coenzyme Q10 are supplied as powders in capsules or tablets. They 
are not absorbed in this form, and instead need to be dissolved in oil. Therefore,  before or during ingestion mix the powder or crushed tablet 
with some oil and lecithin for better absorption. Even better, mix all fat -
soluble nutrients with coconut oil. Other Vitamins  
You may take a multivitamin tablet or B vitamin complex as health 
insurance. For some problems it is beneficial temporarily to take much 
higher doses of specific vitamins as indicated below. Always start with 
low doses and increase gradually. Vitamin B1  or thiamine is e ssential for the carbohydrate metabolism, 
deficiency may show up as dementia, depression, dermatitis, fatigue, 
irritability, and problems with the digestion, heart and nervous systems; 
weak calf muscles make it difficult ri sing up from a squatting position. With suspected deficiency take several hundred mg. It may need 
hydrochloric acid supplement for absorption. Vitamin B2  or Riboflavin is indicated with inflammations of the eyes (pink 
eye) or when red capillaries are visible in the sclera, the white part of the 
eye, try 100mg; it also helps with oxidative energy production and 
migraines. 36 
 Vitamin B3 or Niacinamide in high doses can greatly increase energy 
levels, and is especially good with muscle weakness, cold hands and 
feet, and brain problems such as brain fog, dementia, depression, 
schizophrenia and anxiety; try 2 or 3 x 250 to 500mg with food. Niacin  is the acid, flushing form of vitamin B3; 50 to 250mg may be taken 
on an empty stomach to flush the skin for rejuvenation and clean out 
capillaries in the skin. Sensitive individuals may start with 25mg after 
meals. Always start with a low dose and increase gradually. After taking 
it for a while you need to increase the dose or interrupt flushing for a 
week or two. It also lowers elevated blood fat le vels. Vitamin B5,  Pantothenic acid or calcium pantothenate is very beneficial 
with weak adrenal glands and low blood pressure, especially during 
periods of stress; try 250 to 500mg 2 or 3x daily. Vitamin B6  or Pyridoxine  is especially important for the protein 
metabolism and problems with the hands, the nervous system, and 
emotional conditions such as depression and anxiety problems. Deficiency also shows as poor dream recall and is commonly caused by 
pyroluria. Several hu ndred mg may help but pyridoxal -5-phosphate (the 
activated form) usually gives better results. Vitamin B12 or cobalamine  is not well absorbed and often deficient. This 
causes lack of energy and possibly anaemia and nerve problems. For 
better absorption kee p a crushed tablet under the tongue. However, 
vitamin B12 needs to be converted into the two active forms 
methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. This may not be possible with 
weak liver functions and then causes a wide range of symptoms – 
neurological, psychiatric, hematological, vascular and gastro -intestinal. See a list of symptoms at: www. healthline. com/nutrition/vitamin -b12-
deficiency -symptoms  
Vitamin C,  ascorbic acid or ascorbate in large,  divided doses is not only  
helpful in emergencies such as acute infections, burns or poisoning but 
also to provide more energy, and for healthy blood circulation and 
connective tissue, see Alternative Oxygen Supply fur ther down. 37 
 Antioxidants  also protect against cross -linking damage. Generally,  use 
a wide range of antioxidant supplements and foods. Try 4 to 10mg of the 
oil-soluble astaxanthin  a day, it is one of the strongest antioxidants and 
especially good for the br ain and skin. Alpha lipoic acid  is another strong antioxidant that protects oil soluble  
as well as water -soluble biochemicals. It also chelates toxic metals. For 
health improvement use  up to several hundred milligrams daily in divided 
doses but start with low doses because it chelates mercury and can 
cause temporary reactions. Minerals  
Most important are usually boron, chromium, copper, iodine, 
magnesium, selenium, sulphur and zinc. A fair supplemental amount of 
selenium is 100mcg, and of zinc 30mg per day. Boron  is essential for the parathyroid to regulate calcium and 
magnesium, and so prevent or treat arthritis and osteoporosis. Try about 
10mg/day as 100mg borax, see Chapter 5 or The Borax Conspiracy. Calcium:  There is usually enough calcium in the diet, deficiency comes 
from malabsorption and low stomach acid due  to Candida, and from 
deficiencies of boron, magnesium and vitamin s D3 and K2. However, to protect and repair your teeth frequently rinse your mouth 
with lime water (calcium hydroxide) e specially after acidic meals or 
drinks. On teeth it can then react with phosphates in saliva to form 
calcium phosphates and gradually fill small holes. Chromium  as Cr(3) is important for reg ulating the blood glucose le vel, 
and generally  the carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Copper  is necessary for many enzymes, especially for the metabolism 
of iron and formation of red blood cells, connective tissue, elastic blood 
vessels, pigmentation of skin and hair, and nerve functions. It is strongly 
anti-inflammatory, and copper blood level i s high during infections and 
cancer, most effective is copper salicylate, best absorbed through the 
skin. Copper salicylate, is a powerful anti -inflammatory remedy and 
fungicide, see:  Copper and Zinc Salicylates. 38 
 Iodine  helps to protect the mucous membranes from invading  fungi. The 
listed values of iodine in food, including kelp and seaweed, are actually 
for iodide, there is no iodine in these. Individuals with liver and oxidation 
problems have difficulties oxidising iodide to iodine and often are 
severely deficient. The solution is to take several drops of Lugols daily, 
supplying 6. 5mg per drop. This helps  to protect not only from fungi but 
also from the development of cysts and cancer in bowels, breasts, 
ovaries, prostate and uterus. Furthermore, iodine is essential to activate tissue regeneration. Instead 
of Lugols you may use the weaker Iosol, or in the US Iodoral tablets. Iodine can cause a strong reaction with individuals on stimulating 
medications for thyroid or heart, or when on steroids, or with overactive 
thyroids. In these cases,  it is essential to start with very low doses, e.
