When someone has been diagnosed with a serious disease they may have heard about others who have regained recovery by choosing a recovery eating plan?  According to META-Medicine it’s important to get the inner physiology as well as they outer well-being aspects of your system into a recovery mindset so-to-speak.

And the dietary aspect can be reached by alkalising the internal system, because according to the Two Phases Of Disease, the first stress phase has us reaching for the high energy quick-fix foods that are acidic by nature, but the second phase (where the symptoms arrive) can be helped enormously by alkalising the body, which slows the system down and encourages recuperation.

But be warned this can make the body very sleepy and if already quite poorly (dependent on the current lifestyle and types of foods contained in your diet) a radical change could be too much, and set you back further, therefore a cautious approach is highly recommended.

Instead of jumping in head-first you might begin by introducing some of the foodstuffs shown below, gradually integrating an alkaline eating system into your daily regime, over a period of weeks or months. See below the Food Table if you are not seriously ill and want to get your system back on an even-keel.

Why Am I Sick

The mainstay of this is taken from Richard Flook’s book Why Am I Sick Chapter 12 – Vitality, Food And Drugs:

Alfalfa grass	Almonds	Artichokes	Asparagus
Avocado (hass)	Banana (unripe)	Barley grass	Borage oil
Cabbage (fresh)	Caraway seeds	Carrot	Cauliflower
Cayenne pepper	Celery	Cherry (sour)	Chives
Coconut meat (fresh)	Coconut water	Comfrey	Cucumber (fresh)
Cumin seeds	Dandelion (greens)	Endive (fresh)	Evening primrose oil
Fennel seed	Flaxseed oil	French beans	Fresh red beetroot
Garlic	Green cabbage	Kamut grass	Lemon
Lentils	Lettuce	Lima beans	Lime
Linseeds	Marine lipides	Navy beans	Olive oil
Onion	Peas (ripe)	Red radish	Sesame seed
Sorrel	Soy bean sprouts	Soy flour	Soy lecithin (pure)
Soy nuts	Soy beans (cooked)	Spinach	Sprouted radish seeds
Summer black radish	Swede	Tofu	Tomato (fresh)
Wheat grass	White beans	White cabbage	White radish

The above table was compiled from the book The pH Miracle by Robert and Shelley Young

Allowing The Body To Resume Normal Service

However, if you are not seriously ill, but want to use this method in tandem with clearing some of the emotional stuff that holds you back from eating normally then it may still make you tired with erratic sleeping patterns.

But after a couple of weeks, that should pass and after a couple of months on this eating method your system should be free of the cravings and help you run your life with far less stress driving you between The Two Phases Of Disease.

And one of the positive side-effects you may just enjoy is a reduction in weight, because this will lose body fat, re-energise the system and clear the head.

I’m going to order a copy of The pH Miracle myself and if you want to join me in reading and implementing the ideas then it would be great to share experiences.
