The cleanse diet may be used as a foundation for getting healthy, clearing the body and preparing it for scientific experiment with the allergy/elimination challenge.  It is a VERY simple diet.  It is difficult only in that one is not accustomed to it.  Therefore, recipes are available to help one do it.  The rewards are plentiful.  I have seen many chronic illnesses alleviated by this change alone.  I saw a man completely cure himself of psoriasis (an inflammatory skin disease like eczema) using such a simple diet.  Like all therapies I recommend, I have done it myself, so I can speak from personal experience of its effectiveness.

Basicly, the cleanse diet includes ample amounts of all vegetables.  They are best eaten raw, but they may also be steamed.  Fruits are also included in moderation, 1-2 pieces per day is sufficient.  Whole grains including brown rice, millet, quinoa and amaranth are also included.  Raw nuts, seeds, and oils are included, except peanuts as they are highly allergenic and often contain mold.  Meat is also permitted in moderation only if it is wild or organic.  Celtic sea salt and spices may be added to create delicious, vibrant meals.  With these ingredients, one can create heavenly feasts or simple snacks to get them through the day.

Beverages include plenty of filtered water, tea (except black), and juice made from fresh vegetables or fruit.

The diet leaves out the most commonly allergenic foods including dairy, wheat, eggs, corn, soy, and peanuts.  It also avoids caffiene, alcohol, and one of the most destructive substances, refined sugar.  There are no food additives, preservatives, coloring agents or other neurotoxic chemicals.  It also has no room for partially hydrogenated oils or trans fats which are also highly destructive to the body.  Simple.
