Drinks – Grape juice, apple juice, spring water, or dandelion coffee, or herb tea, between meals when thirsty; drink moderately.

Note: If you are taking any drugs prescribed by a doctor for your condition, you must not on any account stop taking them when you begin this diet. As you progress with the dietetic treatment and your health improves, the dosage may gradually be decreased, but only with the consent of your doctor.

Diet Stage II (3 or 4 days)

One of the following:

• Three-day fast on fruit juice (one glass at 4-hour intervals sipped slowly). Grapefruit or apple juice is recommended; however, most fruit juices will do fine. Make sure never to mix juices at any given meal. It is best to restrict oneself to one juice type daily.
