All-fruit diet

tackled only by treating the system as a whole, so as to remove the toxicity from
the body and build up the general health level of the sufferer. To undertake such
a scheme of all-round, health-building treatment, the sufferer should begin with
an all-fruit diet for about five days, taking three meals a day of fresh, juicy fruits.
However, if there is excessive weight loss during the all-fruit diet, those already
underweight may add a glass of milk to each fruit meal.
