Diet Therapy for Arteriosclerosis
To begin with, the patient should resort to a juice fast for
five to seven days. Fresh, raw vegetables and juices of
seasonal fruits may be taken three times a day. After the
juice fast, the patient should take a diet consisting of seeds,
nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits, with emphasis on raw
foods. Further short fasts of juices may be undertaken at
intervals of three months or so, depending on the progress
being made.
The patient should take several small meals instead of a few
large ones. He should avoid all hydrogenated fats and an
excess of saturated fats, such as butter, cream, and animal
fat. Vegetable oils, particularly safllower oil, flax seed oil,
and olive oil, should be used as a cooking medium. He
should also avoid meat, salt, and all refined and processed
foods, condiments, sauces, pickles, strong tea, coffee, white
sugar, white flour, and all products made from them.
