I have found that these parasites have food preferences and the goal is to stop feeding them what they like. The only problem is that I like many of the same things they like. There are foods that they love such as most carbohydrates, breads, all fruit... and they rewarded me with itching and biting. Some theorize that these foods contribute to formation of yeast on your skin which is the preferred food of the larvae. Then I believe that there are foods that keep them in remission which could be for decades and there are foods that generally starve them. One person who beat this scourge claims that the diet for 90 days will eliminate the parasites from your body. I'm not so sure about that particular claim as being reproducible for everyone. Perhaps if one has been recently infected within 6 months or so, but for those who have been infected for years, I believe that the diet in combination with other therapies are required.

Note: While I work with my lap top or any device that emits electromagnetic fields, the parasites are more active and I feel significant crawling sensations. But when I leave the electromagnetic source, TV's, computers... the crawling symptoms disappear. Electromagnetic devices seem to drive them crazy.

Back to the diet. I found this diet by trial and error. I did an elimination diet. That means that initially I ate only eggs –nothing else—no oil or butter with them--and noticed the symptoms (the itchy bity all over the body) had all but disappeared within hours. Of course I had to make sure that all clothing, jewelry, and furniture--anything I was physically in contact--was disinfected as I explain in the section regarding disinfection. Of course eggs are boring so I began adding protein in the form of meats and found the symptoms remained minimal. Eggs and meat can get boring so I would add other foods and each time I added an ingredient or food that the parasites liked, they let me know they were alive by biting and itching me everywhere. The strange thing was the timing. If I had a breakout and went to safe foods, the symptoms disappeared within hours. If I ate something that the parasites enjoy within a day or so, the parasites activate within minutes or hours. However, if I'm successful at staying on the diet for a week or longer, then if I eat something they enjoy, it takes them up to 48 hours to activate. So, keeping an eating diary is important, for if you're on the plan for weeks and then notice a reaction, you need to look back a couple days to find the food that is the problem. So when I attempt to add a new food to my plan, I watch for reactions for up to 48 hrs. And the reactions change too. When you're sensitive and have just started the diet, the reaction can be all the itching and biting along with some papules. Later on--particularly when you're in stage II of the diet, unless you really eat a lot of something (like a whole pizza), the reactions are limited to the formation of new papules. And if I didn't get back on the diet, these papules after they ulcerate or weep, would develop into a hardened mass somewhat like a scab that is impossible to remove without creating extreme pain.

From my experience, it has become apparent that I was infested/infected with several types of mites, maybe fungus, and a nematode. The virulent ones (probably the larvae of the nematode--a form of round worm), would cause me to itch intensely and nothing gave me any relief except for a hot bath and the diet.

I was initially infected with the mites around 1994 and found no help from nearly a dozen doctors. I felt like the parasites were eating me alive. I finally got 99% free of them in 1998 and remained 99% free of all symptoms until Feb 04 when I became reinfested. I once again freed myself 99+% and stayed free until November of 05 when I went off my diet and ate normally for 6 months believing that the antibiotics I was taking for Lyme disease and the Mepron for protozoan would strengthen my immune system and rid myself of the Morgellons.

When I found myself re-infected in 04, my first thought was to end my life because I remembered the pain and anguish I went through between 1994 and 1998. But then I realized that it would be an opportunity to learn more about the scourge (although I wasn't looking forward to this),--the new treatment my doctor told me about using zyprexa and the diet I discovered and hopefully make this information in this report more valuable.

In retrospect, I believe that enzyme therapy I was experimenting with in 04 --the Vitazyme product--contributed to my re-infection. I had also separated from my wife, moved back into my home, and may have been re-infected from a piece of clothing from  storage. I’ve found that these mites, parasites, fungus, nematodes, or whatever it is can stay dormant for years and only reactivate when in contact with the warmth of an animal. Needless to say, I stopped the Vitazyme enzyme therapy as a precaution. I take another enzyme, but not for treatment of the parasites.  From the beginning of my reinfection, I kept a daily journal of the foods, drinks, medications, and nutritional supplements I consumed, what I called an itch factor and general notes.

Upon reinfection which is easy to happen, the first thing I did was to disinfect my body by bathing--click here for details.

The next thing I did was start stage I of the diet. From this latest experience I found that it's a progressive diet--initially stage one is very strict and is effective against mites, fungus, nematodes, and Candida. It's highly likely that I had a combination of infestation and infection with several parasitic organisms. With time I experienced more flexibility as listed in stage two of the diet.  However most recently, I realize that it would be important for me to stay on stage I for up to 90 days before moving to stage II and then only if all lesions are gone. And if my immune system had been compromised, that is if I were experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog..., I'd want to obtain supplements to build my immune system.  

Physicians usually boost the immune system with gamoglobulin shots. Personally twenty years ago (long before I contracted Morgellons) my immune system was the pits as I become host to every cold virus, bacteria, and flu bug that was nearby. I spent a minimum of 6 weeks every year in bed with high fevers. It was that as soon as I got rid of a cold, I'd catch another one. I strengthened my immune system with 4-5 thousand mg of vitamin C every day  plus three tablets of the Complete Nutritional system. I also moved away from sweets and snack foods. And whenever I contracted a viral or bacterial infection I increased vit C to 5,000 mg three times per day along with zinc and vitamin A. Today I rarely contract any viral or bacterial infections and use routinely 2,000 mg per day plus two tablets of the Complete Nutritional System and I drink Sango Coral Calcium which provides me all my minerals in ionic form. 

I avoid going into the details of the parasites by telling tell friends, relatives, associates, and waitresses that I have an allergic skin reaction and have to maintain a very strict diet—strange as it is. When ordering in a restaurant, I tell the waiter that I have a severe allergy to vegetable oils and margarine and that everything must be prepared in butter. I order very cautiously, question all ingredients, and make sure that their butter is not a butter-margarine mix. 

It's easy to get overwhelmed with the specifics of this eating plan. I discovered it by doing it on limited basis. For one full day, I ate nothing but eggs made in butter. If I hated eggs, I could have only eaten pork, or chicken for one full day. I also was meticulous about disinfecting my surroundings and bathing. I noticed a reduction in the itchy symptoms within hours and then I really became interested  in learning more about the eating plan. Of course I had no one to communicate with who had experience with the scourge and the diet and it was easy to think I was cured. So from time to time, I'd declare myself cured and begin eating normally. At most I'd get away with it for a week before hell broke loose and disappointedly I'd get back to Stage I of the diet and go through the daily washing of laundry.  Sticking with it for me was preferred over regular food which would bring on the scourge. I attribute the diet to my sanity and relatively excellent health after being infected/infested with the parasites and the blood contagions for over ten years.

Originally I thought that cheese was acceptable and it was for me. However, I know that if I had been affected by Candida albicans, it would be important to eliminate cheese. Of course goat and sheep cheese are healthier for me than cow's milk cheese. I found that I could eat all types of cheese except for the processed cheeses. I went to a website that provides a diet for eliminating candida.  It starts with lots of vegetables, yet some of those vegetables such as asparagus and artichokes contributed to reactivating the parasites when I ate them.

The problem I found with testing foods is that once I had my environment disinfected and the diet started, there was little time to test some foods. And even this was complicated because I spend a lot of time on my lap top computer. Seems that when I'm near computers, TV monitors, or electromagnetic equipment it brings on the crawling sensations.  Initially, I didn't know this and it made food testing somewhat confusing.

Let me explain. My experience was that upon reinfection in 04, I resisted going from Stage II of the diet to stage I and within hours was itching with biting sensations like crazy. Guess I needed that motivation to do what I should have done--go on stage I of the diet. Within a day, the itching and biting is greatly reduced. I also had to disinfect everything and start the bathing routine. Anytime within 48 hours any offending foods increased the itching. The problem is that I can only test one new food at a time and once I passed the point of being free of itching and biting for about a week, any food on stage II will not bring on any more attacks by the parasites. But stage II may only put them in remission--they're dormant, but not dead.

I noticed that certain treatments I was on allowed the diet to be slightly more diverse--but in the long run, I should have stayed with stage I of the diet until I was 100% free of the parasites. II am probably the first person to suggest a dietary connection since the late 90's.  I generally avoid the message boards because much of it is confusing and a lot of details are left out. Many speak of body cleansing herbs and nutritional treatments. Even ionic copper, sulfur, molybdenum, silver, zinc protocols which I tried for several months, ended up with stomach pains and I got re-infected anyway.  Unless they have dietary recommendations, I ignore them. If I'm eating breads and doughnuts, no ionic copper or cleansing herb, or Rife machine will be sufficient to kill off the numbers of parasites that these foods activate. 

My diet has two stages that I refer to as Stage I and Stage II. Stage I was important to get rid of the symptoms of itching, crawling and biting. I've tried staying on Stage I for up to 3 months in hopes of getting rid of 10 yr+ old non healing lesions and found that it didn't help. Subsequently, I have found that if I'm strict with Stage I for about two weeks, I can advance to Stage II fairly confidently, but it's best to do it by adding one new food at a time and wait-see if any reactions (new papules, lesions, rashes, crawling or biting symptoms occur) before continuing. 

Following are the foods that I found caused the parasites to multiply and bite, to grow, and Candida to multiply--

Stage one-- click here to go to the diet (same as what follows) which will be easy for you print.  

Let's start with the good news (what I've found acceptable can eat in Stage I of the Parasite Lyme Diet^SM --call it the shrimp scampi diet), click here for some darn tasty recipes:

Protein:
eggs,
bacon*  or  ham** (no sugar, honey, or corn syrup or gelatin)
sausage (without fennel)
beef
pepperoni (Boars Head only)
pork chops
chicken
lamb
veal
shrimp
lobster
clams
crabs
scallops
white fish or flounder.

Chocolate: only if processed with alkali--not with soy lethicin. 

Walnuts: dry (no syrups)

Carbohydrates:
white or brown rice, risotto
rice bran, spelt flour, rye, and millet

Bread:
Spelt without yeast or soy lecithin www.the-baker.com 

Crackers:
Dark Rye crisp bread (no yeast) Ryvita 

Oil:

green beans
broccoli
snow peas
sauerkraut

Cold Cuts:

catsup (sugar and corn syrup free)

Fruit: None that I'm aware (haven't tried pomegranate or persimmons)

Spices:
parsley
oregano
salt
black pepper
red pepper
paprika
garlic (no corn syrup)

Cheese:
I avoid all cheese in the beginning. After things get under control and I'm free of symptoms for a week or so, I add goat and sheep cheese all non processed cheeses (unless I'm also dealing with candida in which case no cheese). Because cheese is a natural fermentation product, it advisable to leave it out of the diet since 95% of parasite sufferers have Lyme disease which can take residence inside yeast or fungi (products of fermentation) and avoid antibiotics.

Drinks:
Water
Black coffee with stevia sweetener

* bacon--I found Stop and Shop and Smithy Field low sodium bacon has no sugar or corn syrup.
** ham--found Citterio brand prosciutto (ham and salt) no other additives

Notes:
1. I only used caplets or tablets. If the supplement only came in a capsule,  I removed the ingredients from the capsules and threw the empty capsules away. 
2. I found that vitamins are important. However, most have additives, binders, or are in capsules that cause reactions. The best hypoallergenic multi vitamin I found is the Complete Nutritional System by Rain Bow Light found in most health food stores for about $37.50 for 180 tablets or order it at a discount here for $30.15 plus handling and postage:

or you can click here to learn more about it.
3. If ate in a Chinese restaurant, I ordered the food steamed (no sauces) and took along my own garlic butter sauce. I added chopped garlic and some red pepper to melted butter.

And Now, the foods that I've found activate the parasites and hence the symptoms of crawling, itching, and biting. In the beginning, I definitely avoid at all costs eating or drinking any of the following:

• snack foods such as pretzels, chips, crackers, nachos, cookies
• sugar (all types), corn syrup, maple syrup, molasses, honey, fructose, lactose, maltose, dextrose etc. Check all tins and packets
• soda or fermented drinks
• yeast or yeast products: bread, pizza, buns, breadcrumbs, marmite, Oxo, Bovril, Bisto, gravy mix etc. flavored foods i.e. crisps and foods containing citric acid.
• Refined grains, white flour products, cakes, biscuit, pasta, corn flour, quick rice, all prepared breakfast cereals  (Kashi has never been tested)
• Whole grain wheat, oats, barley
• no cured meats with additives like glycene
• fermented products, vinegar, pickles, chutney, tofu, soya sauce, 
• alcohol (beer, wine, all hard liquors)
• tea, coffee, Ovaltine, chocolate
• cows milk,
• cheese
• yogurt (flavored or unflavored), cottage cheese
• ice cream
• processed cheese as in American white or yellow, velveta, cheese spreads
• salad dressings
• fresh or dried fruit, no fruit juice
• oily fish such as Chilean Sea Bass, cod, blue fish, capers, sardines, anchovies
• mushrooms
• food with MSG  and or soy such as shushi and Chinese food, or Asian food
• peanuts and peanut products, cashews and all other nuts. 
• starchy vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, guacamole, asparagus, sprouts, and sweet corn, pumpkin.
• sweet vegetables like carrots and sweet corn
• all flours* except for rice bran, spelt, and maybe barley (not sure as I tested it after being on the diet for 6 weeks).
• anything with gluten (pasta, breads, pizza)
• cooking and salad oils (vegetable, soy, palm, coconut, canola, olive, crisco vegetable oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, safflower, olestra, anything hydrogenated--everything except for rice bran oil and or garlic oil
• margarine, butter substitutes, olestra
• wheat germ
• canned fish, kippers
• vinegar
• Hamburgers or any foods from fast food restaurants (may have soy)
• Glazed ham (additives in the glazing)
• popcorn
• all legumes, lentils, and beans
• sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds
• mayonnaise, salad dressings
• spices and food additives listed below that stimulate mites and feed the fungus
• chewing gum

I also found that the following additives and Spices caused the parasites to grow and multiply:

• Fennel, licorice
• Anisette
• rosemary and ginger
• Cajun spices (check all mixed spices as many have additives on this list)
• cellulose gum, guar gum, carrageenan, xanthan gum,
• soy lecithin or lecithin (chocolate, ice cream, chewing gum)
• Carnauba wax, arabic gum (tic tacs)
• Pectin
• Mustard
• Monosodium Gluconate (MSG) used in many foods as a flavor enhancer
• A-1 Steak sauce and other similar products
• Modified starch
• Bullion or thickeners for gravies
• Gelatin (found in jello and capsules or in time release vitamins/meds)
• Glycene,
• Propylene glycol (medications such as cold and flu syrups which may have proplylene glycol such as NyQuill)
• Glycol (soups that may have problem ingredients, i.e. chicken soup made with College Inn chicken broth has glycol).
• Brewers yeast (many nutritional supplements have it)
• Cod liver oil
• Flax seed oil, Omega 3's 

Note: I never tested Vitamin E and Vitamin A so I don't know if they would be a problem for me.

I didn't expect immediate results from following the diet. It's not that the diet doesn't work, it's about what I might have eaten before starting the diet. For instance, if I had a steak marinated in soy or oil for dinner just before I decided to begin the diet, that marinated steak would cause me to react for 5-to-7 days with new skin lesions (papules) every day.  It could be up to seven days before I'd stop reacting to what I ate before I started the diet; and if I went off the diet accidentally or on purpose, it'll would cost me another 5-to-7 days of skin lesions and or itching. In the beginning, if I was on stage I of the diet and then make a dietary mistake, I'd react within hours.

If I advanced to Stage II below, then with some foods off the diet--not all, I may not have a reaction for up to 40 hours unless I had something like tuna in oil in which case I'd always react within minutes.  For example, I tested pine nuts when on stage II. I had a minimal reaction consisting of a small papule within 40 hours. I decided to have another small amount of pine nuts wondering if maybe the papule was from something else and within another 30 hours, larger papules formed and continued forming new ones each day or two for another five days even though I was back on stage II of the diet described below. In fact, I had to regress to stage I of the diet for a week or so to stop the reactions and get back on track. If I were to do it over, I'd stay on Stage I of the diet until I was at 100% freedom.

* bacon--I found Stop and Shop and Smithy Field low sodium bacon has no sugar or corn syrup.
I begin breakfast, with eggs, bacon or ham or sausage, and brown rice--I have a bread maker and could always make my own rice bread although I haven't done it yet as I found spelt bread without yeast or soy is available. I have scrambled eggs or an omelet using spinach, chopped peppers, garlic, tomatoes, onion and flavor with salt, garlic, parsley, oregano, and red pepper. Pancakes are limited to the ingredients of brown rice flour, egg, butter milk, and Rumford baking soda. I melt butter and add stevia to sweeten it to put on the pancakes.

Snacks--I eat rice cakes or brown rice crackers with butter or goat cheese. I found Hol Grain Crackers by Conrad Rice Mill www.holgrain.com.

Lunch and Dinner: Salads are King for me--click here for my recipes.
Spinach, Romaine, red and green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, shredded red cabbage, cucumbers, onions, radishes, celery, peppers, roasted red peppers (in water) grated sheep's cheese, goat cheese or feta, cheddar, jack, Swiss..., shrimp. I make a cocktail sauce/salad dressing made with corn syrup and sugar free catsup and horseradish. I use Gold's Hot horseradish.

I eat pork, beef, veal, lamb, chicken, shrimp, lobster, clams, crabs, scallops, white fish, or flounder.  I prepare them in butter, rice bran oil or garlic oil, add chopped onion, peppers, and garlic. If breading, I only use rice bran or spelt flour. Prepared sausage is always difficult to find without fennel. Most companies just list "spices" and don't list the specific spices are and I've generally found that fennel is one of the spices. Some grocers will prepare sausage without fennel. I generally buy ground pork and add my own spices. I found that Costco sells chicken sausages, one with feta, and the other red peppers, that are free of fennel. 

I eat lots of non starch vegetables: green beans,  broccoli, snow peas (flavor with butter or rice bran or garlic oil. Top with cheddar cheese or grated sheep's cheese). Also, I found that sauerkraut and cabbage are good vegetables to eat. Boar's head hot dogs are the only ones I eat and Boar's head oven gold turkey is free of offending additives. Generally I find no problem with roast beef cold cuts.

I make lots of rice (white, brown, or basmati, risotto) made with butter—no hydrogenated vegetable oil: For perfect rice, I bring two cups water to boil, add in butter/rice bran oil and salt/pepper, and one cup brown rice (any grain), reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 30-to-40 minutes. I like to flavor the rice with chopped onions or peppers either steamed or sautéed in rice bran or garlic oil.

I like to make sautéed spinach, arugula, or green beans with garlic in butter or rice bran oil.

I like rice pasta with tomato sauce (no oils) and meat balls (no breading).

For bread, I like spelt. 

My drinks are limited to water and coffee--no teas, juices, lemon, lime, or alcoholic beverages.

I enjoy my foods fried, baked, broiled, or stir fried.

I found that most spices, oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper, paprika, garlic, garlic powder (unless it has additives like corn starch) McCormack garlic powder are ok..

I made stir-fried foods in butter or rice bran oil. I make fajitas with chicken, steak, or shrimp but had to abstain from the tortillas. I imagine I could make my own tortillas from rice bran or spelt flour, but I never got around to doing it. I could eat sour cream (Stage II without additives) cheese, onions, peppers and so on. I flavored with Cabbot's Habanero Hot Pepper Cheese.

I found that rotarsie chicken with no additives was ok for me.

One thing for certain, restaurants were usually a problem so I learned to cook and did a lot of it. Click here for tasty receipts for stage I and stage II that I used.

This is also pretty much the diet to get rid of candida albicans. However, I found that yogurt which is generally healthy to eat for candida caused reactions, and green apples and green bananas which are generally low in sugar also feed the parasites.

I had candida many years ago before the scourge--it's no fun either. When it gets in the gut, the bad bacteria overpopulate my good bacteria and stop digestion. For me, anything I ate lay in my stomach like a chunk of lead and my stomach became quite distended. It's a very uncomfortable sick to-the-stomach feeling. To see a list of the symptoms, click here.

If you have other questions after reading this report click here for a Q&A. 

There's some good and bad news. The good news is that with parasites, I could go after both the parasites and the candida at the same time. However, this is the main diet for up to three months. Doctors usually use Nystatin or diflucan to fight candidia.

I learned that garlic and Biotin (inhibits candida) are also great to use. Although lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidus, are recommended for the treatment of candida, I'm not sure how they play with the parasites--they may aggravate them. I believe I avoided developing the complications of candida because early on I used a ton of garlic in my own recovery--another reason for using it.

When I did order in a restaurant, I'd explain that I have a severe allergy to lots of different foods and additives. Usually I find that hamburger is safe with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, without the bun. If ordering steaks and other meats, I make sure that they are not marinated beforehand. Usually I can get grilled chicken and I order vegetables steamed only. I make sure that anything done in butter such as shrimp scampi is done in real butter as I found that some restaurants use a blend of butter and margarine. Of course I have no deserts.

I found that diet control is paramount and using the elimination diet, it took me over ten years to discover what is safe and what contributes to activating the parasites. Literally dozens of times, when I'd feel that I was on my way to freedom, i.e. a day or two without any crawling, itching or biting, I'd select something that I thought was safe to eat only to find myself reacting--each cost me or my mother a week from which to recover.

This was my diet to combat the itchy parasites. If I cheated or accidentally had something within the first two days, I'd notice an immediate reaction within hours. For instance, in stage two of the diet I could have walnuts, but if I ate them in the first day or two after a bout with the scourge (when I was in Stage I of the diet), I'd start itching and feeling biting feelings within hours. However, if I stayed on Stage I of the diet and got to an itch index of zero-to one-half (my measuring of degree of itch ranging from zero to ten as worst the itching could get), for a week or so and then added walnuts, nothing would happen. However, if I assumed that I was cured and kept on eating the walnuts (any offending food), two or three days later I'd be at an itch index of seven or eight and have to start at the beginning with stage I of the diet again. I was hoping to test a lot of foods, but I could only test one at a time and only within about 24 hrs of restarting Stage I of the diet, otherwise, the reactions were delayed up to two or more days and quite frankly, I didn't want to spend the rest of my life testing foods. 

I also enjoyed eating in Chilies restaurants. I ordered fajitas dry (no oil) with steamed vegetables. Their flour tortillas, although I don’t understand why, seem ok. I don't eat the chips or guacamole. 

In desperate measures for carbohydrates I made cookies from:
1 cup rice bran or spelt flour (I prefer the spelt as it's more like real flour), 2 Tbsp butter, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 egg (beaten). Blend all ingredients thoroughly. Chill for several hours or overnight. Roll into one inch balls and arrange on buttered baking sheet. Press flat with bottom of glass. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-to-12 minutes. I prefer the ones from spelt flour.

It would be nice if I could add the cup of chopped nuts (Macadamia, walnuts, or brazil nuts), for the cookies, but the nuts are only on Stage II.

It was critical for me that all sources of non animal fats were eliminated from my diet and that was a problem because I often found some type of non animal oil in spaghetti sauce. However, on occasion I'd find one brand that's fat free.

Any dietary infraction would stop any progress I made against the scourge and often contributed to the formation of new sites. When I returned to Stage I, the new sites generally dry up with the use of Caladryl, Benadryl, or hydrocortisone lotion.

What happens when you go off the diet? Here's part of an email from Krista,

Sometimes it seemed for me that recipes containing lots of butter and garlic as in shrimp scampi gave me an extra edge against the parasites.

When to move from stage II to normal eating? For me the answer is when all papules my are healed, all symptoms of itching are gone, and no signs of them show up in my stool. More about stool testing in medical approaches.

Foods that I had in stage II (after 90 days of stage I) are:

In stage II of the diet I could add the following to what I was eating in Stage I:

• light cream or half and half (no additives)
• Chocolate from alkali base (no soy lecithin)
• farmer's cheese
• sour cream
• pumpernickel bread (made without soy lecithin). I found two on  the East Coast. One as a one pound loaf at Shop Rite food stores. There is also a brand of pumpernickel bread sold in some Russian communities--read the labels. I found one in Brooklyn at Dominoes on Kings Hwy.
• Cereal (Rice Chex, Rice Krispies, rice puffs, and puffed millet)
• walnuts, macadamia nuts (not roasted), brazil nuts--no peanuts, pine nuts or almonds. Cashews and other nuts not tested.
• green tea (only the Salada brand all others I looked at have additives
• light beer, white wine (no zynfandel, rose, or red) white champagne, gin, whisky -- one to two drinks. 
• Root beer, cherry coke, birch beer, lemon/lime sodas (Parasites don’t seem to respond to these drinks, but it's best to avoid all carbonated drinks in general because they seriously deplete the body of calcium). 
• selected flavors of Haagan Daz ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip, vanilla chocolate chip, vanilla and chocolate mouse)
• homemade ice cream with macadamia nuts. Click here for recipe
• sugar--I prefer raw sugar
• flounder, sea bass, trout, halibut (stay away from oily fish)
• pancakes made with rice bran or spelt flour and Haagan Daz ice cream (selected flavors) as topping
• Jolly Rancher candy and sassafras (root beer-like hard candy) are the only candies.
• Vanilla or Cappuccino Meringue Cookies 
• Wasa Sourdough Rye Crackers or the Wasa Crackers made with rye bran.
• millet for breakfast with sprinkled sugar on top
