bread I’ve found compatible with Stage I of <strong>the</strong> diet. In Stage I, no<br />

fruit juices, fruits of any kind, except lemon as you'll use to make<br />

shrimp scampi, or commercially prepared breads (except as noted<br />

above), snacks…<br />

Oh, almost forgot drinks. Fortunately water is <strong>the</strong> good news and<br />

black coffee is OK. Remember, this is only for a week or so until<br />

symptoms clear up and newer papules, lesions heal and clear up.<br />

General Notes:<br />

• I didn't expect immediate results from <strong>the</strong> diet. It's not that <strong>the</strong><br />

diet doesn't work; it's about what I might have eaten before starting<br />

<strong>the</strong> diet. For instance, if I had a steak marinated in oil for dinner just<br />

before I began <strong>the</strong> diet, <strong>the</strong> marinated steak would cause me to react<br />

for 5-to-7 days with new skin lesions (papules) every day. It could<br />

be up to seven days before I'd stop reacting to what I ate before I<br />

started <strong>the</strong> diet; and if I went off <strong>the</strong> diet accidentally or on purpose,<br />

because of <strong>the</strong> time dilation factor, it would cost me ano<strong>the</strong>r 5-to-7<br />

days of skin lesions and or itching.<br />

• After months of being on Stage II if I ate something off <strong>the</strong> diet,<br />

I may not have a reaction for up to 40 hours unless I had something<br />

like tuna in oil in which case I'd always react within minutes. For<br />

example, I tested pine nuts when on stage II. I had a minimal<br />

reaction consisting of a small papule within 40 hours. I decided to<br />

have ano<strong>the</strong>r small amount of pine nuts wondering if maybe <strong>the</strong><br />

papule was from something else and within ano<strong>the</strong>r 30 hours, larger<br />

papules formed and continued forming new ones each day or two<br />

for ano<strong>the</strong>r five days even though I went back on stage II of <strong>the</strong> diet<br />

described below. In fact, I had to regress to stage I of <strong>the</strong> diet for a<br />

few days or so to stop <strong>the</strong> reactions and get back on track.<br />

• Not everyone can eat eggs. Some are actually allergic to<br />

eggs which means that you need to adapt <strong>the</strong> diet to your<br />

particular sensitivities.<br />

Breakfast• I’d begin breakfast, with eggs, bacon or ham or<br />

sausage, and brown rice--I have a bread maker and could always<br />
