Q. How much fruit juice can I have daily and are the commercial brands OK if the label states ‘No Added Sugar’?
A. Have as much fruit juice as you like—within reason—on the Metabolism-Balancing Program and none if you are on the Anti-Candida Program. Fruit juice carries mould and is too concentrated in natural sugars for the Anti-Candida Program. The commercial brands are OK if you are not allergic to anything in them.
Q. Can I have tea or coffee when I first get up?
A. Yes. After you have had your water.
Q. Should I avoid tea and coffee?
A. Not completely. Only one hour before taking your supplements and three hours after. The acids in tea and coffee block absorption of the minerals. No more than four or five cups of tea or coffee (total) per day. Sometimes mould can grow on tea and coffee if it’s been in storage for too long. If you are not responding to the Anti-Candida Program as you feel you should, go off tea and coffee and observe your response.
Q. What can I drink after dinner?
A. Fruit juice or water if you are on the Metabolism-Balancing Program. Vegetable juice and water only if you are on the Anti-Candida Program. A squeeze of lemon juice may be added to give the water taste. (No lemon if you are amine and salicylate sensitive.)
Q. Is rainwater OK?
A. Yes, if you catch it in a clean pan in the garden. Don’t catch it off the roof. Chemical fall-out from industry and agriculture collects on roofs and runs off in the rainwater.
Q. Are all the commercial mineral waters the same?
A. No, they are not. Some are made from tap water, others are from European Alpine streams (=contaminated by acid snow), and others from European springs. Unfortunately, the European subterranean water table has been polluted by seepage from toxic chemical clumps and is high in nitrates from nitrogen fertiliser run-off. The Australian water table is vast, and for the main part, pristine. Very rarely does it contain any nitrates at all. Drink only those mineral waters from recognised Australian spas. Look for the name of the spa or spring on the label. Nitrates are not only potent allergens, they can cause cancer and will reduce the amount of oxygen carried by the blood. Babies under three months can turn blue from nitrate-containing water.
Q. What type of water filter should I buy? Do I need one?
A. Tap water is so full of chlorine and other chemicals it frequently causes allergic reactions. The only tap filters that work are the expensive ones (they cost around $500, with regular replacement cartridges at about $100). You would be better off getting home-delivered, fresh spring water. I’ve found it gives the best results.
