Since having been on the diet, very rarely do I catch any viruses. This time it got me though. Colitis and the other bowel diseases are also very much stress related in my opinion. So I am particularly careful what I eat when I am under stress. I stay away from raw fruit and vegetables and stick to the cooked vegetables and soups. The cookbook has a great recipe for a beverage called the flu fighter. It’s made from garlic, ginger, lemon, green tea, honey and a dash of cayenne. I drink liters of the stuff over a three day period and I find that I can get over the worst of the flu over a three day period. I also usually go back to the basic diet of chicken soup (jewish penicillin). It is important to take time off, sleep as much as possible and eat only well cooked foods.
