GENERAL
BUT VERY IMPORTANT
1.
The best oil you may use is olive oil. I use olive oil to almost
every of my recipe. Generally use polyunsaturated vegetable oil
(eg sunflower oil) and quit saturated (animal fat, fats with a solid
form eg butter, lards etc) fats. Usually sufferers from MS are low
in essential fatty acids ù3(Linolenic
Acid, DHA- prodused from linoleic, EPA-prodused
from linoleic
derived
from polyunsaturated fats or ù6 (GLA, Evening Primorse Oil,
Borage Oil). Linoleic acid can only be taken from foods as the body
cannot produce it (or several oil capsules).
2.
It is always good to buy organic food. Of course it would be best
to buy generally organic food but if you find it expencive I believe
that mostly fruits, eggs and vegetables should be organic. You may
find it in many health stores. ALWAYS PREFER FRESH FOOD especially
vegetables. See how they are related with Heavy
Metals.
3.
Always read the labels of what you buy.
4.
It is imprortant to care for the type of your cooking. It is not
only what you eat but the way you cook it!
It
would be best for example to eat your meat or fish grilled, boiled,
or steamed (not over cooked). That way you may reduce fat. Definately
avoid fried food (eg eggs, potatoes, fast food etc).
5.
Combine vegetables in your soups (carrots, celery, mint etc.)
6.
Foods that can affect proper functinallity of your bowel is tomatoe,
onion or garlic. Try to avoid it in soups or cooked with meat or
fish expept (IWT)*.
7.
MAKE YOUR PLAN! DON'T EAT THE SAME FOODS EVERYDAY. For example if
you decide eat bovine liver today with rice eat as much as
you want for today BUT try to eat goat liver next week and
definately don't eat liver again tommorow.
8.
Visit a nutritionist, find out in which foods you' re intolerant
to. Find out about the special diet which fits you. Find out about
supplements, vitamins etc. you may need. You could be informed by
Klenner's
Protocol for MS as well, however, I think that you
should be tested in a wide range of foods, which may be harmful
for you even those claimed to be generally healthy.
9.
Try to eat everything in its season. Fruits for example or tomatoes.
Remember that the human organism has adopted that kind of nutritional
behavior over the years and it will take us some generations to
keep up with the new data. One thing is for sure: You can't be healthy
with greenhouse products or pesticides.
10.
Don't drink water with your food and don't eat your fruits right
after your meals. Drinking water makes digestion much more difficult.
Our stomach produces special acids used for digestion and they are
watered down by drinking water. That way you are extending the digesting
procedure and this is not the best way for our body. Drink water
1 hour before and 2 hours after you eat.
Finally,
fruits can be better digested 1 hour after you eat.
WHAT
DO I EAT AFTER ALL?
In
my opinion there isn't an everlasting formula for everyone which
is exactly the same eventhough there are important similarities.
You should test your self from time to time because important changes
may take place. Some of the foods that may be well tolerated today
may not be well tolerated tommorow. This is my general advise to
you...
WHAT
DO I EAT A LOT?
Fish
(except malacostracans, tuna and sardine).
I
eat fish soups or grilled fish at least 2-3 times a week. In particular
I preffer mackerel, sargo, cod, redfish, swordfish, pagrus, anchovy,
tope, goatfish, scorpion, flounder, salmon, trout, cavalla etc.
Swordfish
and salmon from the atlantic and indic ocean often may be high in
heavy metals. Avoid them!
Fresh
vegetables.
My
basic meals are acompanied with fresh salads. It is better to preffer
dark green vegitables such brocoli (instead of cauliflower) carrots,
lettuce, cabbage, celery, mint, chicory, olives (not containing
vinegar), spinach, radish etc.
Meat.
I
eat meat 2-3 times a week. Meat is high in protein and very important
to a balanced diet. Not every meat though is helpful. It is important
to prefer white lean meat and trim off all visible fat before cooked
(eg chicken's or turkey's skin). Especially chicken, turkey, goat,
beef, lamb, ostrich.
It
is important also to eat liver rich in Arachidonic - omega-6 fatty
acid as well as B1vitamin. You should prefer bovine, goat or lamb
liver.
Fruits.
Add
fruits to your diet in every day basis. Fruits can be a very tasty
snack combined with honey or as a fruit salad. Don't forget that
there might be fruits which you're intolerant or allerric to.
Prefer
watermelon, fig(PF), plum(PF), mandarin, apricot(PF), pineapple(PF),
apple, orange(IWT), pear, nectarine, blackberry, peach(IWT), cherry(IWT),
strawberry(IWT), orange(IWT), grapes(IWT).
Nuts.
Avoid
proccesed seeds. Always prefer what comes from physical products
such hazelnuts, chick-peas, almond, walnut(IWT), peanut(IWT), pistachio,
sunflower seed, pumpkin seed, sesame (sesame pulp is rich in vitamin
E and combined with honey is very tasty).

3-4
times a week. Only goat cheese and goat yogurt.
