Diet Therapy for Allergies
The best way to prevent or overcome allergies is to
strengthen overall physical resistance so as not to fall an
easy prey to every allergen that one comes across. To
start with, the patient should fast on fresh fruit juices for
four or five days. Repeated short juice fasts are likely to
result in better tolerance to previous allergies. After the
juice fast, the patient can take a mono diet of vegetables
or fruits such as carrots, grapes, or apples for one week.
After that, one more food may be added to the mono diet
A week later, a third food may be added, and so on. After
four weeks, protein foods can be introduced, one at a
time. In case an allergic reaction to a newly-introduced
food is noticed, it should be discontinued and a new food
tried. In this way, all real allergens can be eventually
eliminated from the diet.
Foods which should be excluded from the diet are tea,
coffee, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, sugar and products
made from it, refined cereals, meats, fish, chicken, tobacco,
milk, cheese, butter, smoked and salted pickled foods, and
foods containing any chemical additives, preservatives and
flavorings.
