In all cases it follows that the diet should be planned on a natural basis and should be rich in vitamins and mineral content. If the patient’s condition allows it, a juice diet or a short fast could be tried too. It is important to have his understanding and cooperation, for such diets demand the kind of effort on his part which often proves too much even for a healthy person. Never lose sight of the necessity to help him mentally by acknowledging, in a matter-of-fact way, that he is sick. He has to be cared for but at the same time the illness should not be given undue importance. The idea is to show and convince him, without pressure and almost imperceptibly, that there is a better, more favourable and simpler way out. Having gained confidence, the patient will be able and willing to follow our direction little by little. His mind will gradually begin to think correctly, coherently and, above all, logically again.
