* Only Fresh, Raw,, Unprocessed Foods provide the Best

Most Nutritious, Bioavailable Building Blocks

for the high needs of the Body.

* Where there is Serious Illness, Nutrition is the

Ammunition of the Body to Fight the Invasive Enemy.

* My Personal Motto is:

If it is not edible Raw, best leave it alone.

If i still consider some nutritional or therapeutic benefit

or just desire it as part of still harmless food

then steam it lightly and only have it occasionally.

So, even though i was already a Vegetarian and on a highly Healthy Diet

practically never eating any of the ordinary line of foods

such as Cakes, Chocolates, Sweets, Pies, Sauces,

or any Spices or Artificial Ingredients

i still decided to make further changes and

Eliminate :

* All Useless ‘Homemade’ ‘Healthy’ - by my until then standards- Foods

such as Homemade –made at home, by me with carefully selected natural ingredients:

Pizza, Pies, Cakes, Cookies, Breads, Fancy Sandwiches, Sauces, etc, etc.

Gradually and as i was researching good and bad qualities as well as observing

effects on me and my lung, i also eliminated

* All Commercial considered ‘Healthy’ Foods

such as

‘Wholemeal’ Cereals, Nut Pastes as in Tahini, Almond etc

* All Wheat and Gluten products

(After repeated confirmations of negative effect on my Lungs

such as increased mucous production and a strange tingling sensation

as if something was nibbling holes inside my chest –not sure how to interpret

this symptom i still get it after i eat unshelled nuts and suspect possible reaction

to pesticide spraying but unable to this day to confirm)

* All Legumes

Due to their indigestibility and high acidity

hardly ever ate them before so they were not missed.

* Soy Milk Products

For some six to nine month period we introduced Soy Milk Powder
without additives but had to give up after both my husband and I
had a bout of Skin Cancers flaring up-two to three per month for him
and three during the entire period for me.

I also experienced strong needle shooting pains in the underarm glands

and into the breast area.

All stopped soon after we discontinued.

* Most Dairy Products

Milk, and different types of Cheese

Except for Yoghurt which i decided it was preferable to make my own

and Goat Milk that i could tolerate well without problems.

Eventually i had to give up those two unwillingly when my kidneys
were not able to handle even them anymore as detailed in my Entry

*Atypical TB: Medication and Side Effects*

(See Segment: Side Effects just before Termination of Medication)

One Strict Rule i have established since quite some time back:

I Never eat Anything prepared Outside our home of my Own Selection
and by my Own Hands so that i know How something was prepared
and What it contains.

By this i do not mean packaged dried foods, such as walnuts, figs etc
but like Canned foods or ready cooked/baked packaged foods
or ‘Take-Aways’ etc.

One may ask “How Have You then Survived and for So Long?”

Well the answer is Clear and Simple:

Eat with NUTRITION, IMMUNITY and SUSTNACE in mind

within the Perimeters and Limitations of Allergies and Intolerances present.

Never based on what tastes nice if the food does not give me the Best needed.

Some, but not all of the Natural Foods i was forced to give up because of
the developed intolerances, i have recently re-introduced
and currently i am on the Best Diet that can be achieved under the circumstances

Generally i Eat between 95 -100% FRESH, RAW, UNPROCESSED FOODS,

95% of the time - and a very Large Proportion of them are FRESH FRUITS

we usually buy in bulk quantities.

Some of my Favourite regular fruits often constituting two of the three daily meals

are:

Bananas, Papaya, Avocado, Grapes, Cherries, Strawberries, Rock Melon

I also highly Indulge in Nutrient Rich Mangoes during their three month season
each year

Among the Veggies some i favour most

Raw: Tomato, Cucumber, Lettuce, Capsicum, Zucchini, Mushroom, Beetroot

Bean and Alfalfa Sprouts, Baby Spinach and some Salad Green mixes

i do not know the names of

Less often

Lightly Steamed: Broccoli, Zucchinis, Beetroot, Cauliflower, Green Beans,

Mushrooms, Brussel Sprouts, Pumpkin and sometimes Sweet Potato

(Purple, Orange and White variety)

A Small amount of Nuts -in the shells- such as Pecans, Walnuts, Macadamias

and Raw Sesame, Pumpkin and Sunflower Seeds.

My Diet is 100% OIL / FAT FREE
(As in all Meat or Bottled Vegetable Oils whether Raw or Cooked)

My Fat Supply comes from Natural Sources, such as Avocados, 3-4 per Day

and a small quantity of either Nuts or Seeds (Raw and Unsalted)

Recently i was delighted to discover i could re-introduce a Fat Free Yoghurt
in my Diet providing me with a good amount of high quality Protein, Calcium

as well as plenty of Friendly Acidophilus Bacteria!
