 Replace them with fruit and caffeine-free herbal teas, carob bars and drinks, and freshly extracted fruit juices or 100 percent pure fruit juices that you can dilute.
It is vital that you eat plenty of red (such as beets, tomatoes, or strawberries), green (barley grass or wheat grass juice, spinach, herbs such as rocket and basil), and orange fruit and vegetables daily as these provide essential antioxidants that prevent your skin from becoming over-exposed to pollutants in the air. Barley grass is the most nutritious of these foods and does not contain oxalic acid like spinach does. |

 It is added to drinks including alcohol and fruit juices, toppings, salad dressings, essences, jams, dried fruits and vegetables, sausages, 'fresh' prawns and fruit yoghurt. It has been shown to have strong links to childhood asthma, especially where the child also has a folic acid deficiency.
A recent study in a Sydney hospital revealed that up to 65 per cent of asthmatics they treated were so sensitive to sodium metabisulphite that it provoked an asthma attack shortly after they ate it. |

 Fruit or fruit juices are fine. For lunch eat plain cooked or steamed vegetables with white rice (preferably basmati rice) and flavor it with a little unrefined sea or rock salt. To repeat, do not eat any protein foods, butter, or oil, or you might feel ill during the actual cleanse. Do not eat or drink anything (except water) after 1:30 p.m., otherwise you may have difficulties passing stones! Follow the exact schedule below.
The Actual Cleanse
Evening
6:00 p.m. Add 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) to a total of 24 ounces (three 8-oz. glasses) of filtered water in ajar. |

 Choose whole fruit over fruit juice—not only do you want the soluble fiber in the fruit, but commercially made fruit juices are pasteurized at high temperatures to kill bacteria. Cooking foods high in fructose (like fruit juice) is a great way to generate health-damaging dietary glycotoxins. When making a stew that calls for meat and vegetables, reduce the meat portion by half and substitute more water- and fiber-rich vegetables.
When having pasta, reduce the serving by half and stir in an equal amount of steamed fiber- and water-rich vegetables. |

| Before being consumed, fruit juices should be greatly diluted. Keep your daily intake of undiluted fruit juices to 4 to 8 ounces.
Garlic also has a long history of use as an infection fighter. Its antimicrobial activity is due to allicin, the main pungent principle produced from raw garlic.
Jerusalem artichokes also have some immune-enhancing activity, as inulin has the ability to enhance a component of our immune system known as complement, which is responsible for increasing host defense mechanisms, such as neutralization of viruses. |

 Babies can drink diluted fruit juices instead of milk or in conjunction with a non-dairy formula.
Supplements: Vitamin C supplementation reportedly stimulates immune function; take 500 mg and 1,000 mg a day in separate doses. Reduce the dose if you notice diarrhea. Zinc supplements have also been reported to increase immune function. Adults should take 25 mg per day, and children should take lower amounts. For example, a 30 lb child might be given 5 mg of zinc per day while suffering from an ear infection. Vitamin A supports immunity. |

 A high-glycemic diet also includes cooked beets and carrots, rutabaga, summer squash, cooked yams, pumpkin, parsnips, white potatoes, apricots, figs, grapes, raisins, melons, mangos, bananas, papaya, pears, peaches, plums, pineapple, kiwi, sapote, cherimoya, rambutian, durian, dates, and dried fruits. All fruit juices, carrot juice, and beet juice are also high-glycemic foods. High insulin index foods, which are low on the glycemic index but still diabetogenic, include meat, fish, chicken, and dairy. |

| Babies can drink diluted fruit juices instead of milk or in conjunction with a non-dairy formula. To help prevent the development of allergies in babies, breastfeed for as long as possible. Breastfeeding mothers should also avoid food allergens. Introduce new foods carefully to babies, watching to see if a reaction occurs. Wheat, eggs, and dairy foods should not be introduced to babies during the first nine months of life.
Supplements: Vitamin C supplementation reportedly stimulates immune function. Take 500-1,000 mg a day in separate doses. Reduce the dose if you notice diarrhea. |
| Also avoid simple carbohydrates, including sugar, honey, cookies, candy, ice cream, sodas, chocolate, dried fruits, and fruit juices.
Supplements: Zinc gluconate lozenges have both antiviral and immune-stimulating effects. Adults should take 25 mg per day; children should take a lower dosage. For example, a 30 lb child can be given 5 mg of zinc per day while suffering from swimmer's ear. Take 500 mg and 1,000 mg of vitamin C a day in separate doses to stimulate immune function. Reduce the dosage if you notice diarrhea. Vitamin A supports immunity. |

 Universal Marinade/Dressing
1 part freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 part oil (canola or olive or flax seed)
1 part red or white drinking wine
2 to 5 cloves garlic from a hand press
1 teaspoon grated ginger, cumin, or curry (amount and spice choice to taste) Pepper to taste
Use any combination of fruit juices or pureed tomatoes to change the flavor. There's no salt, and the dressing gets its sourness and zing from the lemon or lime juice. Alternatively, use a vinegar, but make sure there's no salt added. If you want a little spice, add chili pepper or some grated jalapeno pepper. |
| That means 100 percent fruit juices only; fruit-flavored drinks are not fruit juice.
9. Vegetables: The veggie group encompasses all kinds of fresh or frozen vegetables. If you regularly eat canned vegetables, including canned tomatoes, you must answer "yes" to the following question regarding salt because of the salt they contain.
Check a box on the following worksheet for every serving you consumed in the past twenty-four hours.

| Moreover, carbonated drinks and fruit juices are loaded with sugar. The increased consumption of sugar among children may explain why such a high percentage of younger people today already have so many gallstones in the liver, although relatively few children normally develop stones in the gallbladder at such an early age. (I personally know of numerous ill children, who have done liver cleanses and released hundreds of gallstones.) Children between the ages of
10 and 16 can do liver cleanses at half the adult dosage (apple juice, Epsom salts, olive oil, and juices). |

 Many children are highly allergic to artificial colorings and preservatives, soft drinks, packaged fruit juices, and foremost of all, artificial sweeteners that may cause brain damage. As discussed previously, artificial sweeteners are found in most unnatural, sweet- tasting foods and drinks.
Most clinical tests on new drugs are financed by the pharmaceutical industry, and nearly all information supplied to doctors about the products' effects and benefits comes from the drug companies. |

| Liquids include vegetable soups, fruit juices, vegetable juices, herbal teas, and water. Leaving the dining table while still a little hungry maintains a healthy desire for good, nutritious foods. Overeating, by contrast, leads to intestinal congestion, the proliferation of destructive bacteria and yeast, and cravings for "energizing" (which really means energy-depleting) foods and beverages, such as sugar, sweets, white flour products, potato chips, chocolate, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. All these foods and beverages lead to gallstone formation.

 Phytochemicals that Lower Cholesterol
The healing phytochemicals in fruits and fruit juices are also very important. For people with high blood sugar, there are now concentrates on the market without the fruit sugar in them, so everyone can get the benefits of drinking a lot of fruit juice. Remember that red fruits and their concentrates repair damage to your DNA. This is crucial because once you repair the damage to the DNA, the cell can regain much, if not all, of its previous functioning. |
| For children I think it is imperative to get organic fruits and fruit juices even if you can't do anything more than this. From the figures I've seen, fruit and fruit juice tend to be more highly contaminated with pesticide residues than other classes of foods. Children eat more fruit and drink by far more fruit juice than adults. From this source alone, they could very easily ingest toxic levels of pesticide residues."
The third aspect of treatment is nutritional supplementation. "For practically all children, we recommend a high-quality hypoallergenic multiple vitamin," Dr. Buttram says. |

| Avoid fruit juices, dairy, coffee, alcohol, and carbonated drinks as these can make symptoms worse.
Supplements: Take 1,000 mg of vitamin C three to five times a day for its antihistamine effects. However, reduce the dosage if diarrhea occurs. Quercetin controls inflammation by reducing the release of histamine and other mediators of congestion from cells. Quercetin also works by stabilizing cell membranes so they are less reactive to allergens. Take 250 mg three times a day. |

| Highly acid-forming foods such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, refined sugar, table salt, chocolate, candy, commercial fruit juices, coffee, alcohol, carbonated beverages and oral hallucinogenic and pharmaceutical drugs also irritate the intestinal lining. Since the body has no real interest in or capacity to digest and utilize something that is potentially harmful to the blood and cells, many of these products undergo biochemical transformations, known as fermentation and putrefaction. |
| The foods that have the most acidifying effects in the body include milk, dairy products, meat and its products, tinned or frozen foods, white bread, pasta and pastry made from bleached and refined flour, refined sugar, alcoholic beverages, diet beverages, soft drinks, sports drinks, packaged fruit juices, preserved foods, processed breakfast cereals, chocolates, ready-made cakes, potato chips (crisps), hydrogenated oils and fats, and most fast/junk foods. The exaggerated ratio of daily-required vitamins may apply only to the severely undernourished person. |

| This same study showed that fruit-based beverages, including wine and fruit juices, either reduced or had no adverse effect on the frequency of gout attacks. In contrast, beverages derived from grain with little or no potassium or magnesium, such as beer and whiskey, increased the frequency of gout attacks significantly. |

 University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, showed that cranberry juice cocktail had the highest total phenol content of twenty fruit juices tested. (Phenolic compounds are natural antioxidants. They help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body that are linked to most chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.)
Zuo and his team stated that "cranberry has the highest radical-scavenging capacity among the different fruits studied." Even more wonderful, Catherine Neto, Ph.D. |

 Well, it's like this: Commercial fruit juices are largely flavored sugar water. Homemade, freshly squeezed juices are vitamin powerhouses. Yes, they contain some natural sugar, but you can also modify that by intelligent mixing of low-sugar vegetables (which should constitute the bulk of the ingredients) and some carefully chosen fruits for flavor and additional nutrients. And for all but the most sugar sensitive—or diabetics—the results should be fine. |

| Another study in the Journal of Medicinal Food examined nine different fruits and fruit juices and reported that eight of them—including kiwi— exhibited significant ability to reduce oxidative stress (damage from free radicals) in human plasma. This ability of kiwi to protect against cellular damage was confirmed in yet another study in Carcinogenesis that was even more promising: In the Carcinogenesis study, not only did the kiwifruit limit the amount of oxidative damage to DNA, but it also stimulated cellular repair of the damage that did occur! |

 Their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were packed in Tupperware, and their fruit juices were nesded beside reusable petrochemical Rubbermaid Blue Ice plastic containers to keep them cold. At least they were free of sodium-benzoate, the preservative that we now know interacts with vitamin C to form cancer-causing benzene molecules. Their lunch containers were dyed with petro-derived purple and green coal tars (despite their name, modern dyes are derived from oil).

 The government's figures don't include high-intensity sweeteners; concentrated fruit juices; sugar alcohol or polyol sweeteners; or other corn-based, highly chemically refined sweetener components like maltodex-trin or modified corn starches," Bianchi says.
That's not all. So-called "hidden sugars"—which are pervasive in the food supply today—have been ignored, too.
"These USDA numbers also don't include unlabeled sugars, which are injected or added to processed meats and prepared foods," Bianchi explains. |
