The Recovery Program Summary
Diet and supplements
A plant-based wholefood diet plus seafood, with no saturated fat,
as far as is practical
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements (these make up about 30% of the
composition of fish oil and 60% of flaxseed oil): 20g (20mls or 20
capsules) a day (of flaxseed oil or fish oil, or the equivalent amount
if fish, concentrating on fish or fish oil when beginning the diet)
Optional B group vitamins or B12 supplement if needed
Vitamin D
Sunlight 15 minutes daily 3-5 times a week as close to all over as
practical
Vitamin D3 supplement of at least 5 000IU daily, adjusted to blood
level
Aim to keep blood level of vitamin D high, that is between150-
225nmol/L (may require up to 10 000IU daily)
Meditation
30 minutes daily
Exercise
20-30 minutes around 5 times a week preferably outdoors
Medication
In consultation with your doctor, if a wait and see approach is not
appropriate, take one of the disease-modifying drugs (many may
not need a drug, and drug selection should be carefully weighed
against side effects)
Steroids for any acute relapse that is distressing
One of the more potent drugs if the disease is rapidly progressive

Foods That Should Not Be Eaten:
Meat, including processed meat, salami, sausages, canned meat
Eggs except for egg whites
Dairy products; that is, avoid milk, cream, butter, ice cream and
cheeses. Low fat milk or yoghurt is not acceptable. Cow’s milk and
dairy products are best avoided altogether as the protein is likely
to be as much of a problem as the saturated fat, given recent
evidence. Soy products or rice or oat milk are good substitutes.
Any biscuits, pastries, cakes, muffins, doughnuts or shortening,
unless fat-free
Commercial baked goods
Prepared mixes
Snacks like chips, corn chips, party foods
Margarine, shortening, lard, chocolate, coconut and palm oil.
There is some debate about chocolate as it does have some good
antioxidants, but most chocolate is also loaded with saturated fat,
so it should be avoided. Cocoa, however, is a natural vegetable
product with only a little saturated fat, and the occasional teaspoon
in a glass of soy milk for example, as hot chocolate, is fine.
Fried and deep fried foods except those fried without oil or with
just a dash of olive oil. It is important not to heat oils if possible,
and if you want to use just a little extra virgin olive oil, the most
stable of the oils, it is a good idea to put a little water in with it
when frying to keep its temperature down. Things like fish and
chips deep fried in, say, sunflower oil, are bad, in that the oil
changes its chemical structure when heated in this way, and tends
to be left in the vat for days, with all sorts of unpredictable
chemical changes happening to the fats.
Most fast foods (burgers, fried chicken, etc.)
Other fats and oils
