| Live natural yoghurt | ...... | This is a good way to take milk, as the protein is partly predigested. It is useful for reintroducing the friendly bowel bacteria after the use of antibiotics and to provide a constant supply of beneficial intestinal flora. back to top
|
| Wheat germ | (raw, fresh and unstabilised - keep refrigerated) contains the B vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, folic acid, vitamin E, phosphorus, iron, selenium and zinc. Sprinkle on breakfast cereal. back to top
|
|
| Brewer's yeast | (powder or tablets). An excellent source of the B complex vitamins, containing 17 vitamins, 16 amino acids and 14 minerals. It is one of the best sources of RNA (a nucleic acid that helps the body's immune system) (see recipe). back to top
|
|
| Liver | (organically reared is best) Rich in the B complex vitamins, including B12, vitamins A, C, and D, calcium, copper, iron and phosphorus. back to top

|
| Bean sprouts | (especially alfalfa). These are easy to grow and rich in nearly every vitamin and mineral. They are valuable as a living food, full of enzymes and amino acids. (see sprouting instructions) back to top
|
|
| Cod liver oil | A valuable source of vitamins A and D, and of essential fatty acids. (see useful links) back to top
|
|
| Sea kelp | (powder or tablets). One of the best sources of iodine, it is also rich in calcium, magnesium, vitamins D, E, K, and the B complex vitamins. (see vitamin, mineral & other supplements) back to top

| Sunflower seeds | Sprinkled on cereal, or as an ingredient in home-made muesli - they are packed with nutrients and an excellent source of protein. back to top
|
|
| Lecithin granules | (keep refrigerated). Acts as an emulsifier to disperse fats. Useful wherever there is high cholesterol or excess weight (take straight off the spoon or sprinkle on cereal). (see useful links) back to top
|
|
| Crude black molasses | This is the first extraction of sugar from sugar cane. It contains the B vitamins biotin, folic acid, inositol, B1, B2, B5 and vitamin E. It is rich in potassium, iron, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and many trace minerals. (see recipe) back to top

|
|
| Garlic | (or garlic tablets - odourless are available). A natural antibiotic and antifungal agent, garlic is also useful for reducing cholesterol (take at a different time of the day to the acidophilus tablets and any mineral supplements). (see vitamin, mineral & other supplements) back to top

Molasses
Drink
(not for those with yeast intolerance,
gut dysbiosis or sugar-handling problems)
This is an inexpensive and very rich source of vitamins and minerals and can be used daily as a general food supplement. It is particularly rich in those nutrients which are used up when there is stress. Used regularly, it can help inability to relax or insomnia.
Take 1 jar Blackstrap Molasses (from health shop or (see useful links). Pour half of the molasses into an empty jar and add hot water to top up, stirring until well mixed. This will make the molasses runny so that it will be easier to pour out later. Keep this mixture in the fridge and it can then be used in one of the following ways:
Either: add one or two dessertspoonfuls to a glass of milk and drink it with 3 brewer's yeast tablets.
Or: squeeze half a lemon and top up with hot water and add 1 or 2 dessertspoonfuls of the molasses mixture. Drink with 3 brewer's yeast tablets. (This makes a good first drink in the morning).
Build up to 3 drinks a day and take for one month, then find your own "maintenance dose" (usually 1 or 2 drinks a day). Stay on that amount.
Note: Brewer’s Yeast Powder is much cheaper than tablets (though it doesn't taste too wonderful). Add powder (½ teaspoonful or to taste) to molasses milk drink and whip to mix well.
This isn’t exactly a recipe, but it usually works like a dream!
Avoid all food and sip only boiled spring water, cooled.
Once you can keep them down, take 3 garlic tablets every hour for about six hours.
Then
take 1 acidophilus with bifidus tablet every two hours for about six hours
..........(not through the night unless you
are awake anyway).
Repeat the next day if necessary.
.............(The
garlic is naturally anti-bacterial,
..............and the acidophilus
& bifidus
..............boost the helpful
intestinal bacteria).
