 THE HEAL YOURSELF SERIES  
Towards Radiant Health or The Health Improvement Program  is a 
condensed  guide for the Health Improvement Program. This is designed to 
remove the factors that cause most of our modern diseases and  replace 
them with health -promoting natural methods. By following this program many 
diseases can be expected to simply disappear while others will  greatly 
improve. This will then make it easier to find and apply specific therapies for 
complete healing. In addition, this program is also a recipe  to regenerate and 
rejuvenate a disabled or aging body. I highly recommend adopting  this 
program before sta rting specific treatments for any chronic disease. Towards Radiant Health  is the first book in the Heal Yourself Series. Also 
available are Overcoming Diabetes , Overcoming Asthma , Overcoming 
Candida , Overcoming Weight Problems , Overcoming Arthritis  and Overcoming 
Cancer . Towards Radiant Health  is intended to be used together with each book for 
a specific disease as it contains essential information that is not repeated in 
these other books. For ordering, updates and further information about the  
Heal Yourself Series see: http://www.the -heal-yourself -series.co m & 
https://www.health -science -spirit.com/ . Disclaimer   
The aim of this book is to provide information on using natural healing methods to improve 
health and overcome illness. The author or publisher cannot accept any legal responsibility for 
any problem arising from experimenting with these methods. For any serious disease, or if you 
are unsure about a particular course of action, seek the help of a competent health professional. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  HOW TO USE THIS BOOK  
Please read this first  
 
 
Most of our health problems and diseases arise from the interaction of 
only a few basic factors such as microbes, deficiencies, waste 
accumulation and pollution. For long -term health improvement it does not 
work just to use some specific methods or remedie s to overcome health 
problems. Usually this brings only limited improvement but even if 
successful, other problems may soon develop instead. Therefore, as a 
permanent solution, it is much better to treat specific problems within the 
framework of an overall  Health Improvement Program that removes the 
common causes which make us susceptible to developing diseases. I recommend that you initially read the book without paying much attention 
to details. Then start slowly working through the book from the beginn ing. The essential thing is not just reading it but  applying the suggested 
methods. Generally, you start with nutrition, and while organizing your diet 
you begin with Intestinal Sanitation and Antimicrobial Therapy. But this 
also takes some time, therefor e once you understand what needs to be 
done and start doing it, you move to the next chapters of Cleansing and 
Pollution Control. With all of these modalities you first make changes at a somewhat 
superficial level and gradually over months and years you g et ever deeper 
into it. There are many links to additional information that you can follow 
up. You decide how far you want to go to protect your health. However, if you have a specific disease or urgent health problem, such as 
inflammations and pain, then  you attend to that first. Inflammations and 
pain can be quickly reduced by strongly alkalizing the body and  using 
DMSO as mentioned in Chapter 3. If you battle an infection, then you go 
immediately to the Antimicrobial Therapy in Chapter 5. For a specific  
disease you may combine the recommended treatment with the relevant  chapters of the Health Improvement Program. This book contains proven solutions for improving your health. Don’t get 
discouraged and overwhelmed with the task at hand. Maintaining health  
and wellness is a lifelong undertaking, becoming a way of life rather than 
a quick fix with remedies and supplements. *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *  
ADVICE:  
The most effective method to overcome your health problems is the one 
in which you most strongly believe. If you have not yet found a method to believe in, just believe in the 
solutions offered in this book. Chapter One  
THE PRINCIPLES OF HOLISTIC HEALING  
Learn the Principles of Healthy Living & Holistic HEALING  
 
 
This booklet is a condensed guide explaining the basic steps for 
improving and maintaining your health. It demonstrates the principles for 
avoiding or overcoming acquired diseases, and living a healthy, fulfilled 
life, regardless of age. This is actually o ur natural birthright. We just need 
to return or advance to a more natural lifestyle where healing can take 
place. The key paradigm for moving towards radiant health is ‘natural living and 
holistic healing’. This is based on lifestyle and healing methods that lead 
us towards attaining harmony with our biological, social, and spiritual 
nature. ‘Holistic healing’ means i mproving all levels and aspects of our 
being while moving towards achieving greater harmony in our day -to-day 
life. By following these outlined methods and guidelines towards rebuilding 
your health, you are certain to improve, whatever the name of your 
disease. Rather than fighting a disease , focus all your resources on 
improving your health. Your disease is then likely to disappear on its own, 
and you will have a very good chance of remaining healthy and fit right 
into old age. THE ROAD TOWARDS DISEASE  
These days most of humanity lives in rather unnatural conditions 
surrounded by a minefield of technological and chemical health hazards. Even worse is the fact that we are largely unaware of the nature of these 
problems. Therefore, we need to become aware of the main health 
hazards in our environment and  learn to avoid or minimize them. 1 2 
 If in doubt, try to envisage which condition or course of action is more 
natural and in harmony with our human nature. The main biological influences on our health are environmental factors, 
nutrition and exercise. Our health is also significantly influenced by our 
beliefs and emotions. In addition,  there are numerous other natural healing 
methods to help us in our quest. Real health – the perfect functioning of all parts of body and mind – is so 
rare that most people do not recognize it and mistake the temporary 
absence of disease symptoms for health. Formerly, people suffered 
mainly from violent but short and often fatal infectious diseases; now they 
are afflicted with chronic degenerative diseases  for a lifetime. The main factors causing our health degeneration are as follows:  
• Unnatural nutrition:  excessive food refining and processing, lack 
 of ‘living food’; deficienci es of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, 
 incorrect food combining, GM foods, microwave cooking. • Pollution: pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, medical drugs, food 
 additives, synthetics, air and water pollution, amalgam fillings, 
 fluoridation, vaccination s, microwaves, electromagnetic radiation. • Lack of physical activity:  sedentary lifestyle, TV, computer, office 
 work, driving instead of walking. • Harmful emotions and attitudes: resentment, anxiety, fear, worry, 
 discontent, greed, envy, and lack of positi ve emotions as well as 
 spiritual or humanistic goals. • Inherited genes  of poor and deteriorating quality. • Antibiotics  and other drugs causing fungal problems that devastate 
 the immune system and become the basis for most other diseases. As a result of these negative factors, we inherit or develop an inefficient 
digestive system, weak immune functions, and problems with various 
organs. We become susceptible to infections or hospitalization for 
which we get antibiotics. These damage our pro tective intestinal 3 
 bacteria, causing overgrowth with Candida, mycoplasmas and other 
fungi. The hyph al form of Candida invades the intestinal wall, causing 
Leaky Gut Syndrome. Now disabling microbial toxins and protein fragments enter the blood, greatly 
weakening the immune system, causing allergies and allowing a wide range 
of parasites, bacteria and viruses to invade the body. However, the main 
consequence of Leaky Gut Syndrome is the development of internal viruses 
that gradually destroy the red blood ce lls and grow into pleomorphic or 
shape -shifting microbes with bacterial and fungal forms. This, in turn, leads to autoimmune diseases, cancer, cardiovascular disease, 
and a wide range of emotional problems, such as anxiety, autism, 
depression, hyperactivit y, obsessive -compulsive disorders as well as mental 
diseases. For a better understanding of these processes as the cause of 
our modern diseases read Pleomorphic Microbes . Furthermore, Candida, especially in combination with mercury toxicity 
and iodine deficiency, ten ds to cause thyroid and parathyroid problems. This results in chronic fatigue, muscle pain, arthritis, osteoporosis and 
soft tissue calcifications, often leading to kidney failure and high or low 
blood pressure. In addition,  there is also a steady stream of research articles showing 
that a basic underlying cause of chronic diseases is an accumulation of 
cellular waste products, mainly protein debris and oxidized fats in 
addition to chemical toxins. Preventing and removing such waste must 
therefore be a mai n aspect of a holistic health program. Understanding Autoimmune Diseases and Cancer  
The mechanism of fungal , viral  and mycoplasma overgrowth lets us 
understand the true nature of autoimmune diseases. During the acute 
initial stage of a microbial  infection  the immune system eliminates most 
of the invading microbes but some of them manage to survive by hiding 
inside the cells of a vulnerable organ or gland. There they remain, 
possibly as mycoplasmas or spores, until the vitality of the immune 
system sufficie ntly declines, commonly due to antibiotic -induced 4 
 Candida overgrowth. Then they come out again into the blood, but this time camouflaged by 
being clothed in the biological markers of the cells in which they have 
been hiding. Eventually the immune system l ooks through the 
deception and starts attacking these imposters. Unfortunately, genuine 
body cells with the same markers get attacked as well. This then leads 
to an autoimmune attack of the organ or gland in which the invaders 
had been h iding. To stop such attacks the blood needs to be cleaned of all pathogenic 
microbes. This then also stops the autoimmune attack. Any surviving 
invaders may hide again as spores in suitable host cells. Such spores 
may even be transmitted to the offspring. Cancer  may sta rt with a primary infection similar to that described for 
autoimmune diseases, or from microbes arising in tissue with 
accumulated protein waste. Now the body limits the infestation by 
encapsulating it. This is similar to trees forming bark tumours when st ung 
by certain wasps. As long as the blood is reasonably clean, a tumour is 
just a tumour, not malignant and not a cancer. However, if the immune system battles against Candida and toxins, then 
a stressful event such as an emotional trauma and especially 
subconscious fear and shock from a cancer diagnosis lets the blood 
become overrun with microbes. Cancer -causing microbes produce 
growth hormones which cause the tumour to expand. Now the tumour is 
malignant but still contained. This situation may persist f or many years 
with the tumour slowly growing, shrinking, or becoming dormant for long 
periods, depending on the vitality of the body and the strength of the 
immune system. Eventually, with a worsening microbial presence in the blood, some 
tumours may form  distant metastases. But the trend in modern medicine 
is to remove even small tumours. This now allows more dangerous 
microbes from the tumour to spill into the blood, and dormant micro -
metastases already present to spring into life years earlier than they  5 
 would otherwise have done, see : Cancer Therapy – A New Direction . However, even these metastases do not normally kill. Tumours only kill 
directly if they press on vital structures, or indirectly if they are attacked 
and release large amounts of toxins. Instead, most cancer patients die 
either early in the treatment due t o strong inflammations or much later 
from cachexia - severe weight -loss and muscle wasting due to 
progressive anaemia from the destruction of erythrocytes (red blood 
cells) by viral and fungal -type blood microbes. This is the main cause of 
death from cance r.  
There is also increasing evidence that cancer is associated with a 
degeneration of body cells into fungal cells, metastatic cancer cells look 
and behave exactly like invasive hyphal fungi, see “Is Invasive Cancer a 
Hyphal Fungus?”  
Eliminating hyphal Candida and k eeping  the blood free of microbes is a 
simple way of preventing death from cancer. The s afest ways to prevent 
malignancy are alkalising, intestinal sanitation, intensive antimicrobial 
therapy, and avoiding the emotional shock of a cancer diagnosis. Instead,  just assume that you already have cancer or may develop it, and 
then adopt the Health I mprovement Program. For treatment, see: Overcoming Cancer . THE HEALTH -IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM  
We can only reverse the relentless deterioration of our health by 
removing causative negative factors and  replacing them with positive 
steps and habits. This means practicing natural living  such as  good 
nutrition, proper breathing, physical activity, improved emotional and 
menta l attitudes. In addition,  we use specific healing methods, 
uppermost of which are the removal of pathogenic microbes, wastes and 
toxins from the body. Before you search the Internet for specific remedies to cure your health 
problem, try to get the basics right, then many diseases may simply 
disappear while others will greatly improve. This then makes it easier to 6 
 use specific therapies for complete healing of any remaining symptoms. In addition, this program is also a recipe to regenerate and rejuvenate a 
disabled or aging body. The Health Improvement Program (HIP) includes the following subjects:  
1. Nutrition:  Adopt a high -quality diet  
2. Intestinal Sanitation:  Clean out & sanitize your intestines  
3. Antimicrobial Therapy:  Eliminate harmful microbes  
4. Cleansing:  Remove metabolic wastes and toxins  
5. Healthy Living  and reducing all kinds of pollution   
6. Energy Healing:  remove energy blockages and recharge yourself  
7. Mind Tools:  replace negative beliefs and emotions with positive ones  
8. Healing groups:  Form or join a health or healing group  
The following is an overview of the necessary steps with links to more 
detailed Internet articles. This book provides this information in a more 
condensed form. Initially focus on one chapter  at a time , but with each 
additional chapter  continue practicing what you have previously learned. 1. Improve your nutrition : Maximise unprocessed and raw food, and 
minimise chemicalized, refined and problem food – see: Food Groups 
and Diets ;  alkalise the body;  Alkalizing with Sod ium Bicarb onate a nd 
Calcium Citrate ,  use food suitable for your body type and conditi on, and 
pay attention to food combining . See General Diet Rules . Discover and 
break addictions and allergies . See Allergy Testing  - and  use suitable 
supplements . See Health Foods and Nut rients . Diet rules are designed to guide us towards healthier eating  habits. There  
are different schools of nutrition, which do not always agree on the same 
principles, and sometimes even contradict each other, just as in politics, 
religion and other areas of human endeavour. My diet rules are based 
on the principles of the earlier 'nat ure cure' movement, modified by 
clinical nutrition research and my own experiences. The less ideal the diet and the more polluted the body, the more are specific 7 
 remedies, supplements and other therapies needed to overcome chronic 
diseases. Conversely, on an ideal diet, combined with antimicrobial therapy 
and cleansing, specific interventions can be kept to a minimum. Improving our diet usually requires a considerable shift in eating habits 
and re -education of our taste buds. It also takes considerably mor e time 
and energy for food preparation. This is not easy. Therefore, it is best to 
make changes gradually, first moving towards a high -quality diet, and 
then experimenting with periods on mainly fresh raw foods for maximum 
healing, rejuvenation and mainten ance of optimal health into old age. However, do not rely too much on 'expert' advice. Ultimately it is best 
learning to trust your intuition and your body to tell you what it needs. At 
different times you may need different foods. 2. Intestinal Sanitation consists of two parts: thoroughly cleaning out 
your gastro -intestinal tract and in particular the bowels or large intestines, 
and removing any overgrowth of harmful microbes and parasites, and 
restoring again a healthy intestinal flor a. See Intestinal Sanitation . The main tools for doing this are flushes, colonics, laxative food, and the 
possible use of hydrochloric acid supplements to impro ve digestion of 
proteins and absorption of minerals. A good way to eliminate harmful 
microbes and re -establish a healthy gut flora is by flushing with psyllium 
hulls, garlic and sodium bicarbonate followed by probiotics. 3. Eliminate harmful microbes  and p arasites  with antimicrobial 
remedies as outlined in The Ultimate Cleanse . For more details see: Overcoming Candida . Also try an Electronic 
Zapper  to clean the blood. Antimicrobial therapy in combination with intestinal sanitation is 
commonly the most important step for overcoming chronic health 
problems. Because of the widespread use of antibiotics, fungi and 
related microbes such as Candida and mycoplasmas are now at the core 
of most of our modern diseases, devastating our immune system and 
generating powerful toxins. 8 
 Without an effective antimicrobial program all other therapies and 
supplements tend to give only limited results. After an intense initial 
phase, contin ue for a long time with a low -key maintenance program. Whenever microbial problems resurface, or routinely once a year, repeat 
an intensive antimicrobial program. To give you an understanding why it 
can be so very difficult to overcome chronic infections  see: 
http://mpkb.org/home/pathogenesis/microbiota/biofilm  
4. Remove metabolic wastes:  Cleansing is needed to move further 
towards optimal health. Gradually our cells, tissues and blood vessels 
become more and more clogged up with waste products and toxins, 
thereby making our metabolism, blood circulation and body functions 
ever more ineffic ient. Periodic raw food diets are excellent to remove these wastes. To properly 
cleanse we need to take in less energy from food than we need for our 
daily activity, then the body is forced to start digesting not only these 
waste residues but even cysts, tumours and other unhealthy tissue. In addition to cleansing liver and gallbladder we clean our blood  
vessels to improve the blood circulation. See: Cardiovascular Disease . Chronic inflammations due to microbial infestations as well as wastes 
and toxins lead to hypercoagulation of the blood with excessive blood 
clotting. This means fibrin structures combine with lipi ds and calcium to narrow 
blood vessels, block capillaries, and restrict blood flow to the brain, heart 
and other organs. These blockages can gradually be removed with 
organic acids ( e.g., lemon), garlic, and especially fibrinolytic enzymes 
such as Nattokina se and Serrapeptase. As we get older calcifications tend to increase. Combined with 
hypercoagulation this causes increasing stiffness, rigidity, cramps, 
muscle pain, chronic fatigue, hypertension, loss of memory, deep vein 
thrombosis, heart attacks, strok es, and generally declining body 
functions. Helpful are increased intake of boron, magnesium and organic 
acids as from lemon juice or vinegar, as well as ascorbate/MSM and 9 
 carbon dioxide/CO2 therapy, see: Fasting and Cleansing . 5. Create natural living conditions  for yourself and your family by 
minimising synthetics and plastics, pollution and harmful radiation in your 
home, see: Electromagnetic Pollution . Sanitis e your teeth by removing 
mercury amalgam fillings and root -canal filled teeth, see: Dental 
Problems . Cultivate mild sun exposure, walking barefoot , being in natural  
surroundings. See: Healthy Living . Strengthen the body  with regular 
exercises such as yoga, tensing and stretching or suitable outdoors 
activity, see: Exercises . 6. Learn to work with energies  and overcome specific problems with 
reflexology, acupressure, massage, ear acupuncture, magnet and 
meridian therapy - see the relevant articles in Healing the Body . A main aim is to facilitate a free flow of energy in the acupuncture 
meridians. From an energy point of view most of our health problems are 
due to blockages in these energy flows, commonly associated with 
muscle tension, calcification and emotional as well as tissu e scars . Stagnating energy flow  cause s inflammation and weakness, and lead to 
deterioration of associated organs and glands. For information on non -physical energies see: Bio-Energies . Many of our health problems are caused by blockages of our sexual 
energies. For an overview see: Healing Our Emotions . and for more 
details see the 6-part series, Healing with Sexual Energy . 7. Emotional and Mind Improvement:  Practice  relaxation exercises 
and learn meditation and  especially guided imagery; learn expressing 
your negative emotions appropriately, and also to generate positive 
feelings and emotions; love yourself as well as your neighbour; adopt a 
positive or spiritual philosophy of life. Find a worthy goal or ideal a nd 
strive to manifest it, see:  Mind Tools . 8. Healing groups:  Form or join a health or healing group to support and 
heal each other. The main purpose of a healing  group would be to help 
each other with the Health Improvement Program. In addition,  a healing 
group can act as an extended family with an unlimited possibility of 10 
 support functions such as with child minding, childbirth, sickness, 
bereavement, unemploymen t, or building activity. There may be common fruit and vegetable production, a food co -op, 
communal library and leisure facilities, and shared expensive healing 
appliances. A member of the group may participate in a healing workshop, and then 
pass on the experience to the group. The group may also invite natural 
therapists and other health professionals for demonstrations, lectures, 
and teaching of specific methods  see: Healing Social Relationships . By adopting this program, better health is possible for almost everyone. The key to success is in your mind! True healing simply means learning 
and applying the laws of nature. THE HEALING CRISIS  
When using holistic healing methods , you need to understand the principle 
of the healing crisis, otherwise you may undo all the good you have done 
by getting frightened and take drugs to stop further health improvement. We do not follow a straight line of either health improvement or health  
deterioration. Periods of illness interspersed with times of relative well -
being occur on the downhill road to chronic degenerative diseases and 
death. Similarly, we also have ups and downs on the uphill road to 
superior health. Travelling downhill is eas y, we do not need to work for 
it, but improving our health requires consistent effort. Contrary to the lengthy periods of ill health on the downhill road, the dips 
on the uphill road are often short and sharp. They are called 'healing 
crisis' although I pr efer the less dramatic name 'healing reaction', or 
simply 'reaction'. After each successful reaction we advance to a higher 
level of health than before. The road to better health follows a definite 
pattern. The old system of Nature Cure called it…  
Hering 's law of cure: "All cure starts from within outwards, from the 
head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared." 11 
 This means that in every real healing the sequence of our health 
deterioration will automatically be retraced: old, long-forgotten disease 
symptoms may suddenly flare up again in the form of a healing crisis. You may understand this principle by comparing our health changes with 
walking along a winding mountain path. When you eventually turn back 
you encounter all the p revious features again, this time just in reverse 
order. In addition, the emotional side of our health problems is important. Each 
disease, accident or surgical intervention contains a strong emotional 
component that may be re -experienced during a reaction ; otherwise,  the 
healing remains incomplete and the problem may present itself again at 
a later time for healing at a deeper level. This also means that the body selects the kind of healing crisis that is 
most appropriate at the time, taking into considera tion its needs and 
abilities to have a certain area healed or improved. We can consciously 
influence this choice by working on a particular problem. In the beginning our healing reactions will be mainly on the physical or 
biological level, but more and mo re we will experience the release of 
emotional blocks and changes in consciousnes s. For more information 
see: Healing Crisis . Patterns of Healing  
At some stage on the road towards health the body will feel strong 
enough to renew the fight for healing a diseased organ and this can result 
in inflammation and pain. Also,  a limb that had been paralysed during an 
earlier disease may temporarily be so aff licted again. When we are on 
the road to disease,  we need to alkalise the body to control chronic 
inflammations but on the road to health healing inflammations are 
needed to improve a diseased organ. Other common healing reactions are boils, mucus discharg e in what 
appears to be a cold, or skin rashes - a skin reaction over a stiff or painful 
joint may lead to functional improvement. If one supports the body during 
this period with rest, cleansing diets and so forth, then it will eventually 12 
 acquire better h ealth than before the flare -up. However, if drugs or even natural remedies are used to suppress the 
healing symptoms, then the inflamed organ will return to its sub -acute, 
chronic condition and wait for another opportunity to heal itself. Nevertheless, so metimes a reaction may be too severe or continue for 
too long or  happen at an inconvenient time. Then you can tune it down 
by heavily alkalizing the body and  using mainly cooked food in addition 
to other anti -inflammatory measures. Listen to Your Body  
You may actually learn much about yourself, your body, your health 
problems and your emotional reactions by patiently observing the healing 
process instead of rushing to “fix” it. What you should do rather, is live as 
healthily as possible, cleanse the body and be optimistic about it all. Such 
healing crises may appear from time to time separated by weeks, months 
or even years, bringing us ever closer to our goal of radiant health. Various problems may suddenly develop during health improvement. Formerly, the body was insensitive to commonly used harmful foods or 
drugs, but now there may be an immediate and forceful reaction. Foods 
that you habitually used before cleansing may suddenly cause a gastro -
intestinal upset, making you feel sick and mise rable for days. However, 
such reactions do not need to happen if you first test for food allergies or 
use a low -allergy diet. Your body now trusts that you will not hurt it again as before. But if you 
do, your body is very offended and lets you (the mind) know about it in 
no uncertain terms. This is the language of the body. If you learn to listen, your body will first tell you about its needs in a subtle 
way - an intestinal rumbling, an itch, a slight muscle weakness or a 
passing pain - before using more drastic measures. Eventually it will let you know its needs by intuition, by likes and dislikes, and 
you will rediscover your  lost body instincts. Then you become independent 
of expert advice and just do what your body ‘tells’ you to be right. 13 
 While one can often gain quick relief from distressing symptoms, 
rebuilding a strong and healthy body is a slow process and can take a  
long time. How quickly you can achieve this also depends on the shape 
you are in right now. The poorer your health,  the longer it will take. It 
needs much experimenting and solid determination to carry through for 
many years with the HIP program. *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

 Chapter Two  
NUTRITION – Part One  
Adopt a Healthy Diet for Your Specific Requirements  
 
 
A good diet is essential for preventing and overcoming diseases. It needs 
to be appropriate for your metabolic type and body condition, and should 
be high in enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other protective 
factors. Eat your food as much as p ossible whole, live, and organic, chew 
well, enjoy what you eat, combine different foods correctly and 
deliberately under -eat rather than over -eat. • Whole food  mainly means unrefined, using all edible parts. • Live food  means raw or uncooked food high in vitality and naturally 
 occurring enzymes. These are destroyed when food is heated 
 above 450 C but also decline with inappropriate storage. • Some v itality  or life -energy/bioenergy can remain in conservatively 
cooked food. More about this later. • Organic Food  is free of toxic chemicals, was grown in good soil 
 without pesticides or inorganic water -soluble fertilizers, it has not 
 been irradiated, and is free of GM components and added 
 chemicals. Some important cooking rules:  
• Avoid soda in cooking or baking, it destroys B -vitamins  
• Use the cooking water; it is ri ch in vitamins and minerals  
• Cook for the shortest period and at the lowest temperature  
• Do not keep food warm for long, cool quickly for storage  
• Preferably cook with glassware, ceramic or enamel, avoid 
 aluminium  
• Do not cook with microwave  15 
 • Do not fry or  highly  heat oils or fats  
• Do not leave acid food in contact with metal surfaces  
• Do not cook what can conveniently be eaten raw  
Before cooking legume s or whole grains soak them overnight. This 
liberates inositol and  allows absorption of minerals that are not available 
when cooking without prior soaking. Soaking and rinsing the seeds 
before cooking also reduces any pesticide residues, myco -toxins from 
fungal contamination, and lectins that may irritate the intestines or cause 
allergies. Food Combining is based on  the following biochemical rules:  
1. Proteins, with oil or fat, require strongly acid gastric juices  
2. B vitamins, magnesium & chlorides activate digestive enzymes  
3. Sweeteners, sugars and acids inhibit the digestion of starches  
There are three main groups of food to consider when working out 
correct combinations:  
1. Proteins, sweet and acid foods, fruits  
2. Neutral foods such as fats & oils, vegetables, avocados, olives  
3. Starches such as cereals, bread, potatoes & non -oily legumes  
Neutral foods may be combined with either one of the other groups 
while the two extreme groups are better kept apart. Therefore, eat meat, fish or nuts at the beginning of the meal for proteins 
to receive the strong gastric juices in the pit of the stomach. The rest of 
the meal, if not too liquid, will remain in distinct layers on top. Next eat 
some vegetables and  leave any starches for the last part. You may mix a small amount of flavouring vegetables with meat or fish, 
or eat fruit together with some nuts. It is preferable to have either some 
fresh vegetable ju ice or a vegetable salad or fruit before, with or after a 
cooked meal. 16 
 The weaker the digestion, the larger the meal, and the less it is chewed, 
the more important is correct food combining. Intestinal Fermentation: Combining food high in fibre with swee t food 
is likely to cause wind. This gave rise to the frequently quoted rule not to 
combine vegetables with fruit. In this case some of the sugar from the fruit is not absorbed and then 
over-stimulates bacterial activity in the large intestine, causing excessive 
wind, flatulence or  bloating. However, moderate intestinal fermentation 
can ease constipation. How much sweetness we can tolerate tog ether 
with fibre is very individual. The more efficiently we absorb our food, the 
larger the amount of sweetness that we can handle without getting into 
trouble. However, presently most indigestion is due to the presence of 
Candida. To avoid problems with beans, these may either be soaked or sprouted 
before eating, or the water in which they have been cooked may be 
renewed and discarded once or several times. When soaking beans,  you 
may add a few drops of Saturated Solution of Potassium Iodide or SSKI 
to inactivate an enzyme inhibitor that causes increased wind. Removing Pesticides:  Vegetables, cooked and raw, in addition to fresh 
fruit, are recommended to be used as the bulk of the food intake. This 
causes a pesticide problem for those that cannot obtain or afford 
sufficient organic food. A good way to remove pesticide sprays is to soak 
and wash the produce for 5 to 10 minutes in warm water with the addition 
of about 10g or 2 tsp of sodium bicarbonate per litre, finally rinse with 
fresh water. High -Quality Diet  
As a general rule, the more you follow a diet that is ideally suited for  you, 
the better will be your health, and your weight will gradually normalize. If 
you are on a conventional diet at present, change only gradually onto the 
high-quality diet but if confronted with a serious disease, you may do so 
very rapidly or even adop t a raw -food diet. 17 
 You need not be afraid that you may never eat your favourite food again. The long -term impact on our health comes from what we eat daily, not 
from occasional treats or transgressions. When you eat out you may eat 
what is available; if it does not agree wit h you, you will know better the 
next time. The following is a low -allergy diet based on fresh vegetable juices, 
sprouted seeds, legumes, non -gluten grains and a high intake of raw 
food. Fats, oils and proteins are much healthier if eaten raw, while most 
vegetables are easier to digest if cooked or juiced. To gain weight eat 
more cooked food, to lose weight eat more raw food. Minimize cooking flesh foods , especially heating above the boiling point. The best fish is deep -sea fish of small or non -predatory  species or 
seafood from uncontaminated coastal regions. Large predatory fish is high in mercury. Farmed fish may be polluted with 
chemical residues and low in omega -3 fatty acids. Chicken or other  fowl 
is best home -grown, organic or otherwise free of chemicals. Beef and 
chicken broth are strengthening with general weakness and debility. Marinating in lemon juice or cider vinegar destroys parasites and 
microbes to make raw flesh food safe to eat  and easier to digest . You 
may simply  soak fish filet or thinly sliced or minced raw meat for a day 
or two in any kind of vinegar while keeping it refrigerated. Vinegar and 
lemon juice are beneficial for digesting proteins and improving energy 
production. During marinating  the acid concentration is greatly 
reduced . You may also blend  small amounts of raw minced meat , chicken or 
turkey and drink it as a broth. This, too, is better if marinated. Use only 
organic or otherwise safe meat from a reliable source. Avoid meat from 
a fee dlot, or commercial chicken. Also,  pork is not safe. The safest non -
organic red meats are lamb and grass -fed beef. As further precautions you may periodically use an anti -parasite 
program, and  possibly  freeze the meat for ten days or more to kill any 
tape-worm cysts. With these precautions raw meat is generally safe, 18 
 while cooked meat is inherently unhealthy, due to lack of enzymes and 
the formation of carcinogenic chemicals when heated above boiling  point. Those with type O blood group generally feel better and remain healthier 
with flesh food in their diet. Raw minced meat may be flavoured with 
grated or chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, tomato or radish, lime or 
lemon juice. Raw minced organic or fre e-range meat may be flavoured 
with chopped onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, radish, lime or lemon juice,  
while raw fish may be marinated in lemon juice or vinegar . Eggs  should preferably be genuinely free -range or organic and 
preferably not produced with commercial pellets. Fresh, raw egg yolk 
is a health food that improves vitality and immune functions. It may be 
used as part of a salad dressing or mixed with other food . It does not 
increase but rather prevent the risk of heart disease. Alternatively eat 
egg soft -boiled or coddled . Egg white  is best cooked to remove the 
strong enzyme inhibitors and to make biotin available . You can see if 
an egg is fresh by immersing it i n water. If it lies flat on the bottom it is 
fresh, the more one end rises up the older it is. Milk products are best as cottage cheese and cheese or yogurt from 
goat's milk, or from fresh, raw organic cows’ milk (preferably A2 milk). Sour cream is prefer able to normal cream. A high content of lactose as 
in commercial yogurt and milk, especially in skim milk products, tends to 
cause mucus congestion and susceptibility to colds. Nuts , almonds and other oily seeds should be used with caution. They  
contain anti -nutrients; raw nuts are especially high in enzyme inhibitors. They are healthier and easier to digest if soaked overnight. Peanuts must 
be vigorously washed to reduce any fungal contamination. Nuts and 
other oily seeds may be used as pastes or  nut butters, preferably raw, 
after soaking or fermenting. However, freshly ground or refrigerated 
linseed may be used for its laxative action without prior soaking. Oils and fats  should preferably be raw or unheated. However, 
commercial oils have been heated to keep them from getting rancid. Good fats and oils are extra virgin olive oil, fish oils, avocado s, sprouted 19 
 or soaked almonds and Brazil nuts, as well as fats and oils in raw butter, 
sour cream, raw egg yolk, ra w fish and other seafood. Preferably add 
some lecithin to oily or fatty food  to emulsify any oil or fatty food. However, coconut oil does not need added lecithin. Open oil capsules, such as fish oil and oil -soluble vitamins and mix with 
food or coconut oil . The body cannot properly digest a blob of fat or oil. Keep unheated fats and oils refrigerated; place a bottle of solidified olive 
oil or coconut oil for a few minutes in water to liquefy. Coconut oil  is possibly the best food to overcome  diseases caused by 
Candida, including overweight , underweight  and lack of energy . It is also 
a good microbicide  consist ing of about 65% medium -chain triglycerides 
or MCT . There are 12%  MCT  in butterfat but none in other commonly 
used fats and oils. MCT can  be absorbed without needing bile or 
pancreatic lipase and  can be metabolised even with damaged liver 
mitochondria. In addition,  MCT a re strong fungicides. If more MCT are ingested than needed for liver energy then surplus fatty 
acids are exported to the rest of the body in the form of water -soluble 
ketoacids. These are suitable as a source of energy for mitochondria 
damaged by microbes or acetaldehyde anywh ere in the body  but 
especially in brain and muscles . Ketoacids are the main component of a low -carbohydrate ketogenic diet 
which provides energy for normal cells but starves microbes and cancer 
cells. Ketoacids act as replacements for carbohydrates and ar e not 
stored in the body; any surplus is expelled through the kidneys. Therefore,  they do not cause any weight problems. Instead with 
overweight they help to reduce weight while with underweight they 
provide additional energy to gain weight. They also help  to overcome 
chronic fatigue and muscle weakness. A disadvantage of ketoacids can be increased acidity of the body which 
may require additional bicarbonate. However, also the opposite may 
occur, because ketoacids reduce the excessive production of lactic a cid in 
cancer cells and other damaged cells the body may become more alkaline. 20 
 Often  take coconut oil by mixing a spoon ful with most food. During  an 
intensive therapy use 50 to 70ml daily . You may also mix it with other 
oils, such as olive oil or linseed oil, and mix opened capsules of oil -
soluble vitamins and antioxidants with it. Omega -3 Oils may be used  as fish oils, krill oil and linseed oil. We need 
especially the long -chain fatty acids EPA and DHA. Many individuals can 
make these internally from lins eed oil, but many others lack the 
necessary enzymes. Therefore,  it is safer to use fish oil in addition to any 
linseed oil. Krill oil is most easily absorbed and recommended for those 
with underweight and malabsorption problems. Halibut liver oil capsules  
are especially high in vitamin A but need additional vitamin  D. When 
using fish oils also take vitamin E  for antioxidant protection . Linseed oil  or 'flax seed' oil contains 50% linolenic acid and 20% linoleic 
acid. It must be cold -pressed, and when opening a new bottle add some 
vitamin E from a capsule at a rate of about 2 -4 mg per ml of oil. When 
starting a large bottle, immediately fill into several small bottles and 
always keep refrigerated or  freeze for longer storage. Ground linseed contains ab out 35% linseed oil and  is also 
recommended to improve bowel activity. Preferably buy whole linseed 
and grind it yourself in a coffee grinder immediately before use or  
refrigerate or better freeze it for storage. Fruits  need to be used with care. Commerc ial fruits may be heavily 
sprayed, and their high sugar and acid content can cause problems for 
individuals with a sensitive skin or low blood pressure. You may partly 
neutralize fruit acids, with sodium bicarbonate, and use fruit containing 
fat such as avocado or coconut cream. Normally, use fruit mainly before 
or between meals. On the other hand, individuals with insensitive skin 
and raised blood pressure do well with fruit and may often have just fruit 
instead of a regular meal. Breakfast  is commonly based on cereals. However, grain -based and sweet  
foods cause problems for most individuals. Especially those with overweight, 
Candida or blood sugar problems will do better using legumes and other 21 
 proteins for breakfast , such as lentil or pea soup, or sprout salad, hommus 
(from chickpeas) , eggs, and nuts but also quinoa or chia seeds. Quick and 
easy to prepare are split red lentils which do not need to be soaked. You may also make a porridge or smoothie with protein powd ers such 
as whey protein isolate, barley or wheat grass powder, spirulina, 
chlorella, bee pollen, and the addition of any of the following: ground 
linseed, chia seeds, seed yogurt, nut butter or soaked nuts and oily 
seeds, fresh coconut or dairy cream, coc onut oil or grated coconut, olive 
oil, avocado, egg or egg yolk, cheese or cottage cheese, lecithin, 
bananas or other fruit. Preferably cook any cereals or starches together with legumes, such as 
lentils, peas, chickpeas or beans. Legumes also combine wel l with 
vegetables as a cooked evening meal, as for instance lentil soup with 
pumpkin, carrot, or sweet potato. Sourdough bread ( e.g., spelt or rye) allows better absorption of minerals, 
while gluten tends to be pre -digested and causes less problems than in 
yeast baked bread. But generally, if you do use cereals, use mainly non -
gluten grains, such as rice, millet, co rn and buckwheat, or arrowroot, 
sago and tapioca. Vitality of cooked food  
Fresh raw vegetables are high in vitality. During cooking vital energy 
released from fresh food may remain in the water but will escape together 
with any steam. Therefore,  cook at l ow heat with a tight lid to minimize 
loss of steam. During storage the content of bioenergy will gradually 
diminish , but re -heating a cooked meal over 50°C will cause most of the 
vital energy to be lost. It has been known for over a century that each meal of cooked food 
causes a temporary increase in white blood cells, a process called 
‘digestive leukocytosis’ (also spelled leucocytosis). Leukocytosis 
generally indicates an infection, inflammation, tissue damage or 
presence of toxins. Leukemia is a for m of leukocytosis. 22 
 Dr Paul Kouchakoff made the most detailed study of this phenomenon 
which was presented 1930 to the First International Congress of 
Microbiology in Paris. He found that leukocytosis does not happen after 
eating raw food, and can also be p revented in cooked food by the 
addition of at least 10% of fresh, raw food, see www.conscious -
cook.com/dr -paul-kouchakoff -the-influe nce-of-food-cooking -on-the-
blood -formula -of-man  
The higher the food has been heated, the stronger is its negative effect 
on the immune system. Processed foods and synthetic ingredients cause 
an even stronger response than cooked whole foods. Up to a certa in 
critical temperature, which is different for different foods but generally 
about 90°C, no leukocytosis occurs. Amazingly, even water heated over 
87°C causes leukocytosis. Furthermore, the quantity of heated food does 
not matter. Even 50 mg has the same effect as a much larger amount. My interpretation of this phenomenon is that it cannot be caused by the 
destruction of enzymes in cooking, because then heated water would not 
react. Therefore,  I believe that it is caused by the lack of bioenergy in 
food he ated above its critical temperature. In addition to adding raw food, 
cooked food may be re -energised by exposing it to energised water, 
sunshine, magnets, crystal or pyramid energy, but that has not yet been 
investigated. All of this is completely ignored by conventional research. A good way of using vegetables is to blend or juice them, sip the juice 
raw with, before and after the meal, and cook the residue (if it is not too 
stringy). A high -speed blender may be best. This method is good for 
leaves, carrot s, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin/squash and 
similar veggies, and needs only a very short cooking time. Low Carbohydrate Diet  
As Candida needs carbohydrates as food, a good way to reduce its 
activity, especially in the intestinal tract, is to go for one to two weeks on 
a low carbohydrate diet. This is best done immediately before and during 
the first part of the intestinal cleanse. This will keep blood sugar levels 
low and restrict fungal growth in other parts of the body. 23 
 Eat mainly meat, poultry, fish, eggs and protein powders such as 
spirulina, wheatgrass powder, whey protein isolate (not concentrate!) and possibly pea protein isolate. The healthiest way is to use organic, 
grass -fed, or free -range products and eat them raw, e.g. as minced  meat. This has all the necessary enzymes and vitality for digestion. A recommended way to predigest raw flesh food and make it microbial 
safe is to soak fish or minced meat overnight or for several days in 
vinegar or lemon juice. For carbohydrates use lea f vegetables and some 
legumes. Vegetarians may use mainly green vegetables, such as spinach and 
those of the cabbage family, rather than potatoes and cooked root 
vegetables such as carrots. However, pumpkin/squash, fresh raw carrots 
and other grated or ble nded raw root vegetables as well as raw vegetable 
salads are slow -digesting and highly recommended. These may be 
combined with sprouted legumes, such as lentils, mung beans, green 
peas and chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans). In addition,  continue using  about 5 x 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil. This helps to produce ketoacids which replace carbohydrates for energy 
production. Also inform yourself about the advantages of a ketogenic diet 
and what to watch out for. Instead of or as part of the Low Carb ohydrate Diet you may also use the 
Psyllium Cleanse as detailed in Chapter 5. Another possibility is a Urine 
Fast. This is especially effective against Candi da and is better tolerated 
than a water fast. With cooked protein meals you may add digestive enzymes such as 
bromelain and papain after the food has sufficiently cooled, possibly also 
a hydrochloric acid supplement, just experiment to see what works for 
you. For more details see Overcoming Candida . Ketogenic Diet  
The ketogenic diet, usually just called keto diet, is very low in carbohydrates,  
high in (healthy) fat and normal in protein. It can be excellent as a 24 
 Candida diet. The main problem is that individuals with defective fat 
absorption and defective fat metabolism often cannot handle it. Also,  it 
can be difficult to get enough vitamins and  minerals. Nevertheless, try it 
if you are so inclined, it may remove the main burden of your Candida 
problem. When Candida is under control it is advisable to increase again 
the vegetable intake. An easier way to start a keto diet is to gradually increas e the amount of 
coconut oil in your diet. The medium -chain fatty acids in coconut oil are 
oxidized in the liver to keto acids which the body can use as a 
replacement for carbohydrates. As with the conventional keto diet, some 
individuals with liver problem s are restricted in the amount of coconut oil 
that the liver can handle. Therefore,  try it out by gradually increasing the 
amount of coconut oil and then remain at your highest problem -free 
intake. Finally, there is the Paleolithic Diet with cooked or raw  meat ( Raw 
Paleolithic Diet) which has helped many individuals to overcome 
Candida problems. A main problem with a diet high in meat is its high 
content of inflammatory arachidonic acid, similar to linoleic acid in 
polyunsaturated oils. It is also high in acidic phosphorus compounds. This effect may be moderated by taking more sodium bicarbonate, lemon 
juice, vegetables, oily fish and fish oils. For specific Ketogenic and Paleolithic Diets see the Internet. Raw-Food Diet  
A raw -food diet is not only the most natural but also the most effective 
nutritional measure for healing and rejuvenation. However,  it needs to be 
adopted gradually as it can cause various cleansing reactions, and even 
more important, our taste buds need t ime to adjust. While only few will 
be strong enough to adopt a complete raw food diet for life, it will be good 
for everyone to have occasional periods on raw foods only. By far the 
most important foods to be eaten raw are proteins and lipids (fats and 
oils) for their enzyme content, and fruit and vegetable juices or salads for 
their bioenergy or life -force. Most 'raw foodists' will be content to have about 90% of their food raw 25 
 and be free to have some cooked food when eating out and at parties. For detail s see: Healing Foods . Slimming Diet  
By far the best slimming diet is one based on fresh raw foods and not be 
concerned with weight and scales. But few individuals seem to be able 
to do this, possibly due to the Candida infection causing cravings for 
sweets and grain products. Therefore,  a less drastic alternative is to 
minimize conventional sweeteners and foods  based on grains or cereals. The main cause of overweight is the inhibition of the fat metabolism by 
Candida. Use the following recommendations in addition to improving the 
fat metaboli sm as shown in the next section. As a sweetener glycerine causes fewer problems than sugar as it does 
not affect insulin levels, but it still provides the same calories as 
carbohydrates. Prunes may be used as a sweet treat with a low impact 
on the blood su gar level, and even better and suitable as a sweetener is 
xylitol. Eat mainly slow -digesting food such as proteins, unheated fats and oils, 
legumes and vegetables; maximize raw food intake, lemon juice fasts 
and exercise. Periodically restrict your diet t o proteins and green or low -
carb vegetables; use high -carb vegetables such as potatoes, pumpkins 
(squash) and carrots only raw as in a salad. Have a slow -digesting 
breakfast based on legumes, best Dahl. Avoid big meals and  have 
frequent small meals and snacks instead. For details s ee Overcoming 
Weight Problems . Improving the Fat Metabolism   
Acetaldehyde produced by Candida blocks the fat metabolism in the liver 
and leads to pyroluria. This causes energy deficiency in the liver and a 
lack of bile. The medium -chain triglycerides (MCT) in coconut oil provide 
the energy for greatly improved liver  functions, provided also activated 
vitamin B6 or P5P and zinc are used in addition. The sulphur amino acid taurine has many important functions, including 26 
 for the heart, immune system and blood sugar control. It is highest in 
hard-working muscles, but in  this context,  it is a main ingredient in the 
formation of bile. Bile is produced from combining taurine (or glycine) 
with an oxidised form of cholesterol. Bile has not only the function to 
emulsify fats for proper absorption but also to release toxins processed 
by the liver. Less taurine means less bile and therefore higher cholesterol 
levels, more gravel and gallstones, poor absorption of fats and a more 
toxic liver. Further, carnitine  is needed to shuttle fatty acids into the energy -
producing mitochondria. This is bes t supplied as the better absorbed N -
acetyl -carnitine. The chain of treatment for restoring liver energy, bile flow and fat 
metabolism is like this:  
• Coconut oil several times daily for liver energy and the production of 
 ketoacids  
• P5P and zinc to enable th e synthesis of essential proteins  
• Up to 2 x ½ teaspoon s each of taurine and N -acetyl -carnitine with 
 food  
After sufficient health improvement these supplements can be reduced 
or phased out. Special Foods  
Special foods  high in protective nutrients may be used for general healing 
qualities or to overcome various health problems. Examples are sprouted 
seeds, bee pollen, cereal grasses juiced or as powder, purple foods, 
sulphur foods, and unheated lactic acid fermented foo ds. Bone Jelly Broth  is excellent for improving connective tissue and is 
useful with arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, weak blood vessels, 
varicose veins, sagging skin and other age -related problems. Simmer 
fish heads or knucklebones for several hour s with the addition of several 
tablespoons of vinegar in a non -metal pot. Strain and refrigerate or  freeze 
in small lots. Frequently add to meals. 27 
 Alternatively, you may add a tablespoon of gelatine when cooking food. It also helps to absorb minerals. Fermented Foods  help to maintain a healthy gastro -intestinal tract. Try 
to make your own using lacto bacterial cultures from several sources to 
provide a wide range of different strains. Also,  kefir grains are good and 
work at room temperature. In additio n to or instead of milk -based 
ferments explore fermenting grains, bee pollen and vegetables, 
preferably at temperatures from 37 to 40°C. However, many individuals 
are very sensitive to yeasts and aged proteins in ferments as well as to 
the mucus -inducing e ffects of galactose/lactose, especially from kefir. For recipes see: users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html  and 
www.agmfoods.com   
Glycerine  (also Glycerin or Glycerol) is a sweet carbohydrate and part 
of fats and oils. Unlike sucrose or fructose,  it does not elevate insulin 
levels. High insulin levels convert glucose into fat, and are a main cause 
of overweight, and by causing hypoglycaemia a  wide range of symptoms 
may result including overacidity, fatigue, fainting spells, anxiety attacks 
and phobias. While the underlying cause commonly is Candida, taking a 
spoonful of glycerine with water and flavoured with lemon juice before 
stressful event s can reduce problems. Green Juice may be  from fresh leaves, celery, and from wheat or barley 
grass or even soft lawn grass, or you may blend fresh leaves of any kind 
at high speed with water and  ingest without straining. Lemon Juice  is especially impo rtant because it helps to regenerate the 
oxidative energy metabolism which is at the heart of most modern 
diseases. Citric acid is the key nutrient in the citric acid cycle that oxidises 
food to carbon dioxide and water, yielding 20 times more energy than the 
anaerobic energy production to lactic acid in cells with blocked oxidation. Take about 50 ml of fresh (or unfrozen) lemon juice 1 to 3 times daily 
before meals. Partly neutralise with some sodium bicarbonate and dilute 
with several parts of other juice or (energised) water. You may also use 28 
 this as the main nutrient on fasting day s, e.g., use about 25 ml in diluted 
form every hour. Liver  is high in many nutrients that a diseased body cannot produce or 
convert into its active forms, such as vitamin B12, folate, P5P (activated 
vitamin B6); also, vitamin A, enzymes and others. These v itamins and 
nutrients from liver are much more potent than synthetic ones as in 
tablets or capsules. Additional supplements may still be needed such as 
vitamins C, D and B -vitamins, especially niacin. You can use liver powder from free -range beef but even  better is fresh 
free-range liver, buy frozen and use raw. This may be cut or chopped 
into small pieces or pressed through a large garlic press and mixed with 
other food. Alternatively process a larger amount with a slow juicer and 
freeze in ice -cube trays . Use about 20 to 40 g with breakfast or lunch and 
add 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 to balance the high vitamin A content of liver. Protein Powders, stirred into a suitable liquid, are good as a basic snack 
or meal. You may mix any of the following in any combi nation or quantity: 
spirulina, chlorella, barley or wheat grass powder, ground linseed, bee 
pollen, whey protein isolate (but not concentrate), pea protein, soaked 
quinoa or chia seeds. You may make the consistency so that you can drink 
it or eat it like porridge. For convenience pre -mix a supply of protein 
powders in a large container that lasts for several weeks. Purple Foods  supply strong antioxidants. When cooked or pressed with  
skin they yield purple juice. Common examples are beetroot, black, 
purple or red grapes or currants, cherries, red wine and red cabbage, 
raspberries, bilberries, blackberries and blueberries. Sprouted seeds  and young shoots such as cereal grasses provide a 
higher degree of vitality and rejuvenation than other foods. Sprouted 
seeds are a mainstay of a good diet. Commonly used for sprouting are 
legumes such as lentils, mung beans, fenugreek, peas and chickpeas, 
but also almonds, nuts and sunflower kernels ma y be spouted. Sunflower 
and buckwheat seeds make a tasty salad when grown in seed boxes and 
cut close to the soil when 5 -10 cm high. 29 
 Sulphur -rich foods  improve detoxification and strengthen the immune 
system. These include raw egg yolk, garlic, onion, hor seradish, 
watercress, turnip and members of the cabbage family. Problem Foods  
Problem foods are widely used basic foods that lead to health problems 
in large parts of the population. So -called junk food and heavily 
processed and chemicalised food belong i n this category, but also dried 
fruits, milk products and wholemeal bread. What chiefly makes a particular food a problem is the presence of one or 
several components that frequently cause metabolic or digestive 
problems. Avoid or minimize any problem foo ds that you can identify as 
contributing to your health problems. The main problem foods in our society are:  
Cow’s milk products and lactose  cause mucus congestion and 
susceptibility to colds, ‘flu and asthma, as well as allergies , and enzyme 
deficiencies when using pasteurized products. Casein from Friesian 
cows (called A1 milk) is a cause of type 1 diabetes and other problems. Wheat and glut en products tend to cause intestinal irritation and 
inflammation, and contribute to the development of malabsorption, 
allergies and overweight. Other gluten grains are rye and barley. Oats 
contain a less reactive protein but can still cause problems for ce liacs. Sugar and sweet foods  make us overacid and oversensitive, cause 
mineral deficiencies and contribute to a wide range of diseases, including 
Candida, overweight, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Recommended sugar substitutes are xylitol, glycerine and stevia. Red mea t and saturated fats  (when heated) cause enzyme deficiencies 
and may contribute to many diseases, especially if highly heated, 
however unheated they can be health foods. Chemicalised foods are basically all non -organic processed foods with 
added chemicals - most supermarket foods. Grain products, peanuts and 30 
 dried fruit are most affected by moulds. Oxalic Acid is rather high in many vegetables, fruit and seeds. Some 
examples of high-level foods are spinach, silverbeet/chard, beet leaves, 
rhubarb, parsley, tea, and many berries. Even though most oxalates are 
produced within the body, a, high level in food can cause digestive 
distress, increase mucus congestion by irritating mucous membranes, 
and contribute to kidney stones. Any problems can be reduced by adding 
some calcium carbonate or eggshell powder when cooking or juicing high 
oxalate foods. This then forms calcium oxalate which is not absorbed. For details see : Cows Milk and Lactose Problems  and Chemicals and 
Other Food Problems . Avoid or Minimize:  wheat and gluten -enriched foods; soy products 
except if traditionally fermented; synthetic sweeteners, sugar and sweet 
foods; dried and pasteurized milk; margarine, shortenings, canola and 
polyunsaturated seed oils; highly heated, microwave -heated and GM -
foods, and generally highly processed food with added chemicals. Metabolic Types  
We have inherited our metabolic make -up from the traditional diets of our 
ancestors. I distinguish between 3 basic metabolic types: the non -
vegetarian type needing a high int ake of slow -digesting proteins and fats; 
the vegetarian type doing well on a fast -digesting high carbohydrate 
intake, and those in -between, the balanced type. The relationship between these basic metabolic types and blood groups 
is rather straightforward. Blood group O is the oldest blood group. It 
originated in the  hunter -gatherer area and corresponds to the non -
vegetarian type with a high requirement for protein and fat. Group A1 resembles most closely the seed -eating vegetarian type, while 
B is the lacto -vegetarian type, and closest to the balanced metabolic 
type.

 THE HEAL YOURSELF SERIES  
Towards Radiant Health or The Health Improvement Program  is a 
condensed  guide for the Health Improvement Program. This is designed to 
remove the factors that cause most of our modern diseases and  replace 
them with health -promoting natural methods. By following this program many 
diseases can be expected to simply disappear while others will  greatly 
improve. This will then make it easier to find and apply specific therapies for 
complete healing. In addition, this program is also a recipe  to regenerate and 
rejuvenate a disabled or aging body. I highly recommend adopting  this 
program before sta rting specific treatments for any chronic disease. Towards Radiant Health  is the first book in the Heal Yourself Series. Also 
available are Overcoming Diabetes, Overcoming Asthma, Overcoming 
Candida, Overcoming Weight Problems, Overcoming Arthritis  and Overcoming 
Cancer. Towards Radiant Health  is intended to be used together with each book for 
a specific disease as it contains essential information that is not repeated in 
these other books. For ordering, updates and further information about the  
Heal Yourself Series see: http://www.
