THE ANTI- CANDIDA PROGRAM: BREAKFAST
As with the Metabolism-Balancing Program you can mix and match your breakfast options on this program. Amend these options to keep high and moderate amine and salicylate foods out for the first four weeks.
OPTION 1
Untoasted whole meal bread (one to three slices) made from wheat, rice, soy, millet, buckwheat or arrowroot Hour, depending on what allergies, if any, you have. Have a thin spread of butter (if you are not allergic to milk and have normal cholesterol levels) on your bread, though it is preferable to use cold pressed oil (olive oil is best unless you have a known salicylate sensitivity). Brush the oil on the bread.
Egg may be had on the bread if you are not allergic: to it and your cholesterol levels are normal. Tahini, almond, cashew or hazelnut paste of butter may be used, but no peanut butter. Peanuts grow in the soil and have mould growing on them. Canned tuna, sardine or salmon (done in brine [salt and water] only—not oil) may also be eaten. Tomato and onion may be added for flavour. Candida Killer sandwich filling may be used on the bread if desired. Consult the amine and salicylate lists at the back of the book. I have only cashew butter and soya oil for the first four weeks. After the first four weeks you may toast the bread.
OPTION 2
Any of the toppings from Option 1 on two to four brown rice cake/ wafers (the big round ones from the health store) instead of the unleavened bread or unleavened bread toast. Candida Killer sandwich filling may be used on top if desired, but only after the first four weeks, when high amines and salicylates are allowed on the program.
OPTION 3
A bowl (as big as you like) of puffed brown rice (rice bubbles) from the health store with either freshly juiced carrot juice or soya milk over the top. This tastes great with nuts and seeds added. Be careful with soymilk though. The palatable ones tend to be thickened and sweetened with malt, maltose, maltodextrose and other sugar derivatives. Check with the manufacturer, and if it contains any ingredient that ends in -os, -ose, -one, ona or -ol it’s sugared—don’t have it. Wheat bran may be added. No carrot juice and only cashew nuts for the first four weeks.
OPTION 4
A bowl of cooked millet, buckwheat or brown rice with butter melted over it (if you are not allergic to milk), though preferably cold pressed vegetable oil. Olive oil is best. Wheat bran may be added. Use soya oil until the inclusion of amines and salicylates is permitted.
Raw nuts, such as almonds, cashews, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, sunflower or sesame seeds (no peanuts—they have mould on them). Have as much as you feel you need without overdoing it. Don’t have less than 60 g (2 oz). Cashews only for the first four weeks.
OPTION 6
A fresh fruit salad (no dried fruit and not from a fast food outlet), using any variety of fresh fruit except grapes, bananas and melons (all melons). You may have any of the nuts and seeds mentioned in Option 5 over the top—60 g (2 oz). Puffed brown rice bubbles may also be put over the top. A dressing of cold pressed oil and lemon juice may be used. Apricot kernel oil goes well with fruit salad, as do sunflower, sesame and safflower oils. Wheat bran may be added. Don’t have fruit for lunch if you had it for breakfast. You may only have pears (peeled), golden delicious apples (peeled), pomegranate and cashews for the first four weeks.
OPTION 7
Stewed fresh fruit. Nuts, seeds and brown puffed rice may be added. No dried fruit. Wheat bran may be added. Remember: Some time during this twelve week program you have to be off all fruit for four weeks and all milk for six weeks. It’s preferable to go off them simultaneously, though not imperative. You may go off each one at separate times.
OPTION 8
Savoury mince (non-amine/salicylate version for first four weeks) on toast or bread or as a filling in a homemade pie or pancake or over noodles, brown rice or kasha. No toast for first four weeks.
OPTION 9
Three or four whole fresh fruits and 60-90 g (2 -3 oz) of nuts and seeds, any variety according to any allergies that may exist. No melons, grapes or bananas. You can’t have this option during your four weeks off fruit.
