THE BASICS

The basic milk diet includes:
• Exclusive raw milk diet for at least three weeks
• Rest during the diet, preferably bed rest (though Macfadden’s patients did not always do this).


The philosophy:
• Raw milk is a nutrient-dense food.
• Liquid is more easily absorbed than solid food.
• In about one month, you are loading your body with nutrition, the tools to rebuild its ailing parts.
• Rest allows your body to focus its energy on healing, not on exerting.


The books are fascinating and include:
• Specific recommendations on preparing yourself for the milk diet:
o what to eat in the days immediately preceding the diet
o how to prepare your home for the diet

• Instructions on the ideal day-to-day activities of patients while on the milk diet.
• Advice for knowing how much milk is ideal for you.
• Encouragement and inspiration to stay on the diet.
