See book keywords and concepts |  Avoid eating nuts that come mixed up with dried fruits or in commercially produced breakfast cereals (the nuts are pre-rancid or rancid, and the dried fruits contain fungi).
Note: All nuts and seeds (and also grains) should ideally be soaked overnight, after which they can be heat-dried in the oven for 6-12 hours, and stored in a dry container. Soaking removes phytic acid, which can combine with important minerals in the intestinal tract and block their absorption, and thereby cause serious mineral deficiencies. |
Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C.
See book keywords and concepts |  Both fresh and dried fruits are great to keep on hand to liven up a dish or as a stand-alone snack. Check the labels on dried fruit to be sure there are no additives such as sugar, colorings, or preservatives. If you run across dried fruits such as apricots, apples, and raisins that are light in color, they may have been treated with toxic sulfites. dried fruits that are not treated will be brown and more shriveled by comparison. They may not look as pretty, but they are a much better choice health-wise. See Things to Avoid for more on sulfites. |

þ Eat 8-12 almonds on a daily basis. This provides vital nutrients to the cells of the body, and particularly to the eyes and bones. Remove the skin by placing the almonds in boiled water for 15-20 minutes. The skins will easily slip off. Soaking them overnight increases their digestibility. |

Raisins are also relatively high in boron, and are in fact among the top fifty contributors to total dietary boron in the U.S. diet. Boron is a mineral we don't hear about a lot, but we should.

Dates come in various states of "dryness": The most common of the "semidry" dates is the Deglet Noor. Six Deglet Noor dates provide a reasonable 140 calories plus a very respectable 4 g of fiber, a bit of calcium, magnesium, and a really nice 327 mg of potassium.

Environmental considerations: Ringworm spores can live in the environment for over a year. Because of this, it is prudent to clean the house as well as possible to rid it of the fungus. | | Avoid foods that contain yeast or mold, including all breads, muffins, cakes, baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, melons, and peanuts.
Supplements: Take 1,000 mg of caprylic acid, a fatty acid that has been shown to have antifungal properties, three times a day. Vitamin C, taken at a dose of 1,000 mg twice a day, helps to enhance immune function. Take a high-potency multivitamin to obtain many nutrients that will help support immune function. Take probiotics with about four billion micro-organisms twice daily 30 minutes before each meal. | | While suffering from an ear infection, avoid simple carbohydrates such as sugar, honey, biscuits, sweets, ice cream, carbonated beverages, chocolate, dried fruits, and fruit juices. To help prevent babies from developing allergies, 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 in the first nine months of life. Babies can drink diluted fruit juices instead of milk or in conjunction with a non-dairy formula. |
