A low-fat, fruit-based alkalinizing, properly combined vegan diet is the only way to go for healing C&C and staying healthy. The author has never heard of a lasting healing of C&C by a non-vegan. Every essential nutrient needed for peak health, including the highest quality protein and all essential fatty acids, is available from plant foods and fruits (including avocados, nuts and seeds). Superior nutrition is food from the garden and orchard, unchanged by the heat of cooking. Cooked ani- mal foods, oils and refined grains ruin our health. Cooked fats, oils and proteins are highly toxic, clogging and carcinogenic. Protein in cooked meat and pasteurized dairy foods has been rendered useless and toxic. As physician Dr. John McDougall puts it: “Pasteurized milk is nothing more than watery fat.” Raw milk from cows and goats is not recommended either, due to its high fat content, allergenic and mucous-forming potential, inappropriate hormones and chemical residues from commercially-fed animals and because those with a history of C&C typically do not digest milk proteins well. Our optimal source of protein is from raw plant foods: nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. We can build as much muscle as we desire on a vegan diet after we have detoxified, healed and rejuvenated.

Although a change to a proper, nutritious diet (along with complete rest) is a key element in the wholistic care of persons with C&C, there is no standard plan for its implementation. Each advanced case must be evaluated via a thorough questionnaire and monitored individually. Changes must be made gradually and properly. Too rapid changes, such as the sudden addition of too much fruit or rough vegetables, can result in worsened gastric distress and increased elimina- tion. Go slowly. If you are unsure about how to proceed, contact the author for a phone consultation.

Some people with C&C have mild symptoms of diarrhea or constipation, and some are debilitated with extensive inflammation, bloody diarrhea and spasms or constipation. Those with mild C&C or advanced C&C must avoid whole raw veg- etables and transition to a vegan diet of soft non-acidic sweet fruits, steamed veg- etables, squash and potatoes and fresh fruit and vegetable juices. Those with active inflammation need also to avoid nuts and seeds until they heal. The key to finding the right dietary plan is to work with an experienced professional health counselor, to tune in to the signals the body is sending and obey its higher intelligence.

With a change to a clean, energizing vegan diet, the body’s intelligence sys- tem enacts a thorough housecleaning, whereby stored toxic matter is eliminated. This catabolic process of detoxification leads to weight loss in every case. Losing weight as one cleans out is often unsettling; however, this is the body’s intelligent

response to the toxemia and it is only temporary. The cleaner the body becomes, the faster it will heal. When the body is cleaned out and the belly is flat and thin, bodily energy and appetite will rise. Then, weight gain (or the anabolic rebuild- ing phase) will ensue. It takes time, diligence and patience to clean out, rebuild and rejuvenate. Many people have taken this road to health and are thankful they stayed with it. After a few years, if we live correctly, our body will have regenerated every cell, and youthful vitality with no more illness can be ours.

NOTE: During the healing diet transition phase, complete rest at home or at a Hygienic health care facility is recommended in all cases. People with active flare-ups who are working, caring for family members or are in school are advised to arrange to take a sabbatical and get complete rest until health is restored—the body requires rest to accomplish healing and typically cannot accomplish healing otherwise.

With those thoughts in mind, the following discussion on several key elements of nutritious eating should be used as a reference only. Their implementation requires intuitive wholistic thinking. Guidance from an experienced health coun- selor, such as the author, is advised.

Water

Taken in its pure form, water assists in the transport and elimination of tox- ins. Over time, water taken orally will also help loosen up stagnant food matter in the bowel. Those with chronic fatigue from C&C will also experience a rise in their energy level and a freshening effect with the increased use of pure water. Distilled or multi-filtered purified water is recommended. Self-purification of the body and healing occur as stored impurities are displaced by pure water. In the process, pure water increases the conductance of electrochemical nerve energy. The detoxify- ing effect of increased water use usually results in some discomfort as toxins are released from cells and tissues and eliminated. In cases of severe toxemia accom- panying C&C, it is prudent to drink plenty of water.

Water fasting has proven to be a beneficial means of assisting the healing of C&C and the maintenance of health. There is at least one documented case his- tory of a medical doctor who healed himself of colitis in this way. The definition of “fast” is a complete physiological rest (in bed), including abstinence from all food and nutriment except pure water. This enables the body to utilize virtually all available energy for self-healing; all activities are ceased and energy conserved for the organism to use for self-healing. Fasting is generally not necessary for recovery from C&C, however, it can be prudent and necessary in certain cases. Fasting must be undertaken only when conditions are favorable and not when severe malnutri- tion is present or when a person is unable to take complete rest; a Hygienic Doctor can make that determination. If you are interested in fasting, read Dr. Herbert M. Shelton’s book Fasting For Renewal of Life, see Appendix C–Hygenic Health Care
