SILICONE IMMUNE PROTOCOL

DIET

  • Avoid land animal protein (red meat, pork, and eggs) and dairy products.  Deep-sea fish are allowed –cod, salmon, mackerel, herring. Avoid fish high in mercury.  If you have joint pain, avoid wheat as well. Some chicken and turkey are allowed.  Avoid spirulina and other green-based drinks as they have cytokines in them, which increase systemic inflammation and pain.
  • Emphasize fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grain. 
    • Eat 50% raw food.
    • Avoid nightshade plants (Idaho potato, tomato, bell pepper, eggplant).
    • Clean the fruits and vegetables in a lemon and saltwater solution before eating.
