45 Post Treatment

We've hit the Big 45-day mark! John is super-thrilled!

Forty-five days past treatment means some foods can start to be added back into John's diet. Yesterday, he had his first apple since Dec 26. He was so excited!! He absolutely loves apples, so to have them taken away was hard. One of the keys to Alivizatos is to follow the diet which entails low-acid foods. Anything with acid is off-limits. That means no citrus, dairy, flesh-meats, etc. Also not allowed (and should never be in ANY food consumption) is conventional (white, bleached) flour, sugar (white or brown), pop, etc. All that stuff only contributes to a myriad of health issues: auto-immune, cancer, emotional issues, acne, lethargy, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, etc., etc. The list goes on. Anyway, John's been gorging on vegetables, whole grain rice, quality bread (we use Ezekial 4:9, after the Scripture verse where Jesus explains how to make bread), melons, raw nuts (not peanuts - too much natural bacteria) and sometimes I'll make organic treats like sunbutter cookies or popcorn. He drinks only water. He does a great job - when he has a sleep over, he takes his own food for snacks and breakfast. All the kids and parents have been really great about it, too.

But now, apples and other citrus can be added to our choice list. Wow! Apples, grapes, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, lemons....where to start?!
