I have found some of the most resistant bacterial infections in my B patients. As a precaution against any micro-organisms taking hold in your body eat plenty of the foods that have been shown to boost immunity. Vegetables and fruits in general are great for this, as is green tea (see page 161). Garlic is especially good, so add it to your salad dressing every day. Onions have potent antibacterial and antiviral activity – Russian scientists have extensively studied this effect. Chilli peppers, cayenne pepper and horseradish have also been shown to help with infections. And don’t forget, you are in the lucky group that is able to eat yogurt with its immune-stimulating power.

You should also ensure you consume a reasonable amount of fat in your diet and, above all, that you get the right ones. Eat fatty fish such as mackerel, sardines, tuna and salmon; and use flaxseed oil and walnut oil in your salads. They will all provide beneficial omega-3 oils.
